SepI mhel)Cr 1 0.-Special: "No eardithlv elilnin, No lingering gaze. N strife at parting. No sore amaze; But sweetly. gently. He passed away From the world's dim twilight 'To endless day.' It is hard for Edgefield to realize that Col. James T. Bacon, the loved, the admired, the benefactor of all, has passed a way. Only a few days since. as he lay on his bed of suffering, lie gazed lov ingly into the eyes of his sister. who was dearer to him than aught else on eart'h, aid saoid, with deepest feeling: "You and I have gone hand in hand through the deep Red Sea, but now I leave you to go out alone into the reat beyond.'' In the peaceful grave they have laid him to rest--in the village cemetery, near his sainted mother, Mrs. Sarah Agnes Wigfall, who died a few years ago, and close beside the resting place of his grandmother. It seemed like giving 'him back to the arms that had cradled and caressed him. He never we,.ied speaking of their love and goodness to him. His face would soften, his voice tremble, when he re corded incidents of boyhood's days, and his great love and devotion to .hese noble women. Not as the wit, not as the journalist, not as the bril liant editor. will the memory of James T. Bacon linger longest in. the village to which he gave his life, but as the helper of the helpless, the comforter of the afflicted, the uplifter of the desolate, the support of the needy, the widow, the fatherless. In his whole career tiere was no thought of self, only of what he could give or do for others. When sojourning a few years ago in Europe. surrounded by wealth ana adulation, his letters home all breath ed of loving devotion and a vearning to shield them f.rom care and trouble. His amusing letters,. written to The News and Courier, describing New York's subway, his ocean voyage, his obseivations of Europeans, seintilated with .a freshness and originality pe culiarly 'his own, a quality lacking in many world renowned humorists. The editor of a New York daily copied an article written1 by Mr. Bacon, describ ing a party in Edgefield and added: 'The person who wrote that piece ought to leave the small vi-llage of Edgefield and come to New York, where he would make a fortune.'' His European letters always brought tears of laughter to the eyes of the readers. The same mail would bring a letter with a foreign stamp to tie home folks-so full of pathos-of heart-sickness, to join the dear circle that its pages would be blotted with tears. Artistic in every sense, Mr. Blacon had a passion for music. He had studied in Germany under famous masters; his technique was thorough, his execution faultless. He played with the 'expression of one to whom music was a soul's prayer. One of his chief pleasures was gar dening. His lilies and carnations were beautiful, but his roses were like the little children he petted atnd gathered around him, the loveliest ever seen. Among them he seemed like a loving, dreaming boy; no traces of age or suffering lined his brow, when looking into the fair innocent' faces of God's elildren. A man w;ith his talents, his genius, could have gone into the big world and earried anl immortal name fo>r himself on the tower of fame, but his deep love for his own people made it impossible for him to leave Edgefield. He is sleeping now with the flow ers he loved so well above him, but his spirit will live forever in t'be hearts of those who. knew him.
