TRIBUTE TO DR. RUFF. Ono Who Knew Him Woll Tolls of His Kindly Deeds. To the JSditor of the State: In today's State there is a very meji'ivi notice of the death of Dr. J. i.l. M. I tuff, of Newberry county?I M't. i :ca-:uit and Caldwell sections., Knowing the doctor intimately and1 admiring him for being the man that lie was, I am anxious that something! !be 4said in 'behalf of a man who in | his lifetime did so much for others and received so little himself. Dr. Huff was born about .1835 near! the neighborhood where lie labored. so many years. He studied medicine ( first at home and later graduated at [ the Medical College of South Car-! oiina. In the Civil war he was under Gen. Longstreet, giving his services i where they seemed to be most need-) ed?in the ranks as a soldier. After the war he took up the practice of medicine near his old home and continued in active practice until lyjs I recent illness and death. When I knew the doctor he had ; been busy night and day treating the ' i sick for 10 years and had almost I nothing of any value to show for his efforts except a vast medical experi- ! once and the gratitude and love of ; I his patients. His collections?never very large?have been recently only H about $500 a year. Frequently Ira W was paid in farm produce?less frequently in cash, though in a large I percentage of cases his only fee was I thanks and promises. Often when the doctor was called to a patient ' really ill lie would go to the home and stay .there for weeks at a time or until either he or death was the b victor. If he ever refused to treat | any one, no matter how poor, I nev-1 er heard of it. lie would drive his j F old horse, ''Charlie," rain or shine, | hot or cold, night or day, ministering to the sick and 'endeavoring to relieve their suffering. When lie { reached his three score years and ten his store of worldly goods might have, by a due exercise of economy, kept him alive for the balance of his life of two years. Dr. Huff had his failings, aw all have, but he had on the other hand virtues given to few. He was endowed with a memory truly phenomenal, having forgotten very lit'tle of jf his lectures in college and almost ' nothing that he learned in his years of practice. He was charitable in the broadest sense?unselfish and so . constant and tuniri:ig in his efforts to help others that he ha1 litlle lime j \ to think of laying up for himself' \ either i;i this world or in the world! \ to come. Had Dr. Watson known him he j might have written in his "Doctor | of the Old School" Ruff, in stead . of McOure, and Newberry instead r of Drumtochtv. J. G. McM-aster. K~ Florence, S. C., Dec. 19, 1007. V Mr. A. C. Workman. V The following in regard to tire \ death of Mr. A. C. Workman, a no\tice of which appeared in the last is%ue of The Herald and News, is iTOin the Laurensville Herald of Dec am her 19: This community was again shocked'yesterday at I he news of the sudden and unexpected death of Mr. Asa C. Workman, which sad event occurred at his home near Hopewell | on Tuesday night about 11 o'clock. He had been io Newnerry that, day and after his return was taken viol%entty sick with cramp colic or acute ^^ndigeslion, about 7 o'clock, and suffered for four hours with this dread mMlady. He was about 53 years old. IliX remains will be interred at noon toda\, Thursday at Hopewell. Rev. D. P\ Boyd, pastor of the Ivinards circuit!, conducting the service. ^ The (deceased was a member of the ft Bush River Baptist church and was I a substantial citizen. Quiet and | peaceable, he was yej a man of u:i- j daunted courage, and was one of Ihe; young nnterrified leaders who did such valiant service in ridding the Era state of radical misrule and disgrace, fflew. Trustworthy and fearless, lie was a man?and a man to be depended on. ||i He was twice married and leaves fifc a widow and six children?two daughters by his first wife and four sons by the second. His daughters are Mrs. Roland G. Spearman, of Alabama; and Miss Ellen Workman, K|fl|,of Hopewell. His sons are Earle, H^KiJohn R., Hugh and Ben Cromer. Be SgHLides these bereaved fvnes and a BoB^ery large circle of other relatives friends to mourn their loss, he BuQKaso leaves two sisters?Mrs. Walter g?8fij^B|rrc. of Newberry county, and Mrs. ShHnJ. Duckett, of this city, and two BBBH&tlrers-- <Mr. James Workman, of BS^BH&vherry county, and Mr. Hugh ^SB^n^rkman, of Clinton. rafffifiHHfthis is another unusually sad and jB^RB^.mcly death, and we extend heartnSR bmhhT It'll sympathy to tlu sorely airlifted ones.
