The passing of Judge Pope removes another link which bound the pres ent to the days when chivalry was in Rower and to a civilization such as the world never saw before and we fear will never witness again. He served his day and generation well and faithfully and has been gathered to his fathers full of years and h'on ors. It has been given to no other county in South Carolina to have her sons fill the distinguished position of chief justice of the supreme court of the State for so many years. For a gen eration that honor fell to the distin guished John Belton O'Neall, a son of Newberry, and for seven years the position was filled with marked abil ity by Judge Pope. The present chief ustice is a native of Newberry. As private citizen, as counsellor at law, as soldier in defense of his coun try, as district judge, as legislator, as justice of the supreme court, Judge Pope was ever faithful to duty and discharged the duties of these va rious positions wtth marked ability and with credit to himself and honor to his State. As husband and -ather he was ever gentle and kind anlt considerate. In his social relations he was ever the same oc irteous ano affable gentldman -a Chesterfield by nature. He took an active interest in every thing that was for the uplift of his community. He took a pardonable pride in Newberry college, and at the opening of each session always had a agood and cheerful.Word for the stu 4ent body. Judge Pope was trave, and chival rous always, and knew neither moral nor physical fear, a;nd yet we believe it is true that malice was as far re moved from him as it is possible to eliminate it from frail human nature. Of him it might be truthfully said the bravest are the tenderest. The State board of health has de signated April 10 as ,"Cleaning Up, Day" and gives a number or goo' reasons why the day shQuld be ob served. We hope the people 'of New berry will Qbserve the day, but 'it is not necessary to wait for April 10 to cleani up. Every day should be so ob served, but those who do not, might take the suggestion of the board and devote one. day to this laudable work. We notice that Gov. Blease has said that he will not approve the resolu tion adopted by the regislature to i,p point a committee to investigate the winding-up dispensary commission, so we 'may expect Col. Tom Felder tc begin wr'iting his. history of the dis pensary. We hope he will deal in facts and not give vent 'to his flow' of invective and vituperation. There is no good in further muddying the stream. If the committee appointed by the chamber of commerce to raise money for the employment of a paid secre tary will get busy it should 'be easy| to secure the necessary amount to, make the experiment. Then if a good live man is employed Newberry should begin to go forward. It might attract more people to Newberry and result in enhancing values, but that woulc scarcely be detrimental. Nobody who knows Judge Watts as a man or a jurist will consider for a moment as serious tDle intimation that I he continued the Boozer case because of fear of any one. He 'has never been known to shirk his duty. One who writes anonymnouey such charges gives r:cre evidence of fear. That is a very sensible letter cof Mr. .T. R. Gilliam to Solicitor Cooper in the matter of an extra term of theri court for the trial of the Sam Booze: case. There is no demand or neces this character should be tried by the regular judge. A FRIGHTFUL THING. As the girl, who was only three years of age, was breathing her last, Mr. Goelet lifted her into his auto mobile and rushed her to her parents home where she died. After hearing ,the testimony of eye witnesses the cor onel exonerated Mr. Goelet.-Press dispatch in Monday's papers detailing the running down of a little girl in Middleton, N. Y., by the automobile of Robert Goelet, a millionaire. He was exonerated by the coroner, but the coroner's exoneration and th' tenderness of Mr. Goelet in lifting the quivering form into his automobile could not and can not lessen the an guish of the hearts of the parents in the sudden and awful death of their little girl. TRUE AS GOSPEL. Miss Georgia Hamilton, of the Or ville, Ohio, Crescent, addressed the recent meeting of the Ohio press as sociation. Among many other good thoughts were the following: "The columns of his paper are the means of making a living, and it can not be expected that he has the ready cash to donate to different enterprises and keep himself in good standing with his fellow men if in return for his labor receives no recompense. To many it seems unreasonanle that the editor should charge for this little notice and that, for the columns of the paper are public property. 'God loves the cheerful giver,' and the edi tor is made to believe he must con tribute to the welfare of his town by giving this firm and that a 'little puff' to boost their business. "The common impression is, -t give you a little something to fill up.' Yes; we must fill up on something, and the editor and his family enjoy a good square meal as well as the average citizen of the town. Th,e publisher is handed a notice which to the eyes of the contributor is a small matter, but if space is valued at all it is worth something, especially i-f it benefits the advertiser in his business. This same person would not think, no doubt, of entering a grocery store and asking the proprietor for a handout, the but cher to donate 'him a little meat or the merchant to give him several yards of cloth. Yet the newspaper man is besieged every day with the! liberal offer of a notice to fill up." The State newspaper should not ask such searching questions. New berry does not want "a still chamber of commerce." The city that does things nmust be active and wide awake. We have just now a few vacant resi ences in Newberry tha,t might be se :ured by people who would like to :ast their lot inr a live town. Examine your' labels. There - are' several expirations of subscription with this issue. If you wish the paper ontinued to your address so inform h'e Herald and News office. Other ise your paper will be discontinued. Church of the Redeemer. (Rev. 'Edward Fulenwider, pastor.) The following is the program of di ine services at the Lutheran Church. f the Redee-mer next Sunday: 11 a. m.-The regular morning ser-' ice with a sermon b.y the pastor on he subject: "Known by Marks." Text: Go through the midst of the city, hrough the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the1 en. . . . But come not near any an upon whom is the mark." Ezek. 9:5 and 6. Looking at the great wick-' dness that abounds men are in dan er cf tecoming despondent and dis ouraged along relsigious lines. The cry goes up: "The world is growing orse." More than one good Chris ian today, like Elijah of old, finds imef unde3r his juniper tree with fit of the "blues" 'because he thinks .e is the only one left who serves d.'- Let us look about and gather: ourage and inspiration. God has ever been without witnesses even in Lhe darkest periods of history. He m:c his "peculiar people," they are r.ark.ed, and are safe from the execu ioner. Some practical lessons will .be ~ivn in the sermon. 8 p. m.-The subject of the sermon will be the words .of God to Adam as e sought to hide himself among the :rees of the beautiful garden of Eden,; Where Art Thou?" Men are today 1 :rying to hide themselves from God mong the things of this beautiful. orld. We must all, no matter what ur station in life, give an account of )useves, and answver the questioni, I Where a3rt thou?"'. There will be familia:- hymns and 1 ;ood music at both services.

He lived in South Carolina all of his life. He was married to Susan Knight October 8, 1839. She died in 1840. He was married to Cynthia Cole Febru ary 23, 1841, and to this union ten children were born, three of who'm are Idead and seven still 'surviving, ~as follows: Mrs. T. Y. Henderson, Foun tain Inn; D.

Cyn thia Crisp died May 1, 1896. Joel Tillman Crisp died March 27, 1911. Ho leaves seeen surv.iring chil dren, 115 grandchildren, and great grandchildren and two great great grandchildren. He lived to see his fifth generation. He was a brave Con federate soldier, one of the first vol unteers in the army; went from Laur, ens county, Company G, Third South Carolina regiment, Capt. Todd, serv ing the first twelve months, when be ing over 35 years old he came home, but returned to service and served until the end in the Pioneer corps. He was promotedl at the second bat-' tIe of Manassas to wagon ma~ster. He was also a member of the James D. Nance camp at Newb3erry. Mr. Crisp made his home with his daughter, Mrs. M. E. Hitt, during the last 21 years of his life, and died there. He was ill only, a short while, and was perfectly conscious until about a half hour before his dieatn. The children wish to extend their sincerest thanks to Dr.,W. E. Pelham, Jr., who was so tru~ and faithful dur ing the illness and death of their fatbe-:, and it is also comforting know ithat the Daughters of the Con federacy did not forget him. It was my privilege to visit Mr. Crisp several times during tne few months residence in Newbelry, ana he alway.s appreciated my visits. As the word of God was being read he listened atten,tively and entered hear tily into the prayer. On account of ill health he had not been privileged to attend the worship of God's house, but wished that he might be able soon, but he will never get to the earthly temple, yet he worships in a far more glorious temple, one r.ot hand made etenal in heaven. The only thing he dreaded at the last was the pain of- death. Said he had no fears of beyond. As passages from God's Word were being read he would say, I have read that often, and they have confided me. "Servant of God well done, Rest from thy loved employ; The battle fought, the victory won, Enter thy Master-s joy. The pains of death are past,' Labor and sorrow cease, And life's long warfare closed at last, His soul is found in peace. Soldier of Christ, well done, Praise be thy new employ; And while eternal ages run, Rest in thy Savior's joy. G. A. W. Card of Thanks. Mr. and Mrs. Raney Bitt wish : xteid their many thanks to theiri ~riends and neighbors, and also to Dr. Pelhamn and Rev. Geo. A. Wright for heir kindness shown them in the ill less and death of Mrs. Bitt's father, ind also during Mrs. Bitt's illness. Vlay God's richest 'blessings rest upon; each of these. JUDGE GARY DISENGAGED. lut Not Assigned to Union Court The Situation. Columbia, March 29.-The prereneo >' Judge Ernest Gary in Columbia his week adds another interesting hnse zo the special judgeship fight. nc'irv reveals the situation that u.ge uaruy nas no termi of court this.j ~ h that this fact was known to the gov ernor, as he so stated in a letter t< the secretary of the Union bar asso ciation. Section 2,742, of the code, conclud es: "In the event there he no circui judge disengaged, then the governoi upon the recommendation of the su preme court or the chief justice there of, if the supreme court be not 'n ses sion, shall immediately commission a special judge such person learned i, the law as shall be recommended t hold courts of such circuit or to hola such special court." The suprem court in the recent James Davis de cision ruled that the governor can nc commission except upon the recom mendation of the supreme court. There may, of course, be some rea son why Judge Gary was not sent t Union, but nothing has been give out here in explanation. It was as certained from the records that Judg Gary has no court this week, and i was learned here that he is in tow: and has been here since Monday What effect this will have on the spF cial judgeship matter is also nc known. The statement that Judg Gary is here is made solely from news standpoint. There has been much talk of man damus. It is not probable that sue: will result from anything that ha yet developed. Talk has even gon further, to a caHing by the legisia ture in these matters. In such a: event the chief justice would presid over the senate. There has been onl one press suggestion of such a cours It is known here that Governor Bleas is "keeping tab" on everything tha has happened. GOOD ROADS MEETING.

Prof. Unna, of Hamburg, Germany, and Dr. Sabourand, the leading French dermatologist, discovered that a microbe causes baldness.
