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.

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.
