W. Shand, of Co lumbia. Chief Justice Jones and As-! sociate Justices Gary, Woods and Hy drick added heartfelt words Col. Henderson said that as a jurist Judge Pope excelled in the law of real property; Col.*Brooks thought him at his best in equity-"the greatest equity judge South Carolina has ever had.'' Mr. Shand dwelt especially up en his association with Judge Pope in the War Between the Sections, when their regiments were brigaded togeth er and Judge Pope received seven -wounds. Afterwards Mr. Shand was for four years reporter of the supreme egurt, when Judge Pope was an as sociate justice. It was Mr. Shand who nominated Judge Pope as one of rne counsel for the State in the fraudulent bonds cases, litigation which saved to the commonwealth more than $1,500, 00 at a time when it was much straightened finapcially. Col. Brooks's Tribute. * The following is Col. Brooks's eulogy on Judge Pope: Infirmities of age and wounds caus ed him to write the following to his excel-lency, Ma\ktin F. Ansel, governor of South Carolina: Columbia, S. C., January 6, 1909. Realizing that my time of active service is drawing to a close, and can-' eeiving it to be my duty to retire from office, I hereby tender my resignation as chief justice of the supreme court~ of South Carolina, to take effect April 25, 1909. With love for all the people of our State, yours truly, - 4 Signed) Y. J. Pope. He was an honor to the highest of ~ce within the gift of the people of~ ~he greatest State in the greatest na tion that he sun shines on. Our hero belonged to Nature's no Sility. On the 3d of June, 1864, at second Cold Harbor. when night and silence held united empire over the field which -was so soon to run red with blood of the martyrs of our righteous cause, 'which made the country great, our hero. the subject of this sketch. was sleeping with the armor of war buck - ITed around him. In fact. ,all the men of these two -magnificent armies slept en their armnor. save a few who watch * ed how calm and still lay now these en 'whose blood was so soon to make The ground red beneath a cloudless sky. * Each moment the darkness fled aid the splendor of the dawn increased. TIhe sun was not yet risen. But the east blushed with a roseate purple, and the morning star was melting into the depths. im was then that Grant ordered his mighty army to charge the army of Northern' Virginia, that incomparable army which never had, and never will have, an equal. I was thrilled by the startling peal of the bugles, the roar of cannon, the rattle of small arms and the shouts and7 groans of the men. 'Oh this bloody occasion was 'when our hero behaved with such gallantry. In the fatal charge 13,000 of Grant's nen were shot down in 30 minutes, while the- great Lee lost three hun ed. Grant ordered another charge, erra- his grand army refused to move. For three days his dead and wounded lay 'whe-re they were shot down be -fore he would ask for a flag of truce ~to bury his dead thousands. During the four long, weary y ears of the war our hero wais shot' up more than any man, to survive, in the migh ty struggle. Seven times, in as many *aattles, he was shot. As a soldier, he was superb; as a emr he was upright; as a 'lawyer, he was conscientious and able; as a staimp speaker, he was exceeded by none and equalled by few. Equity was ~ds forte. This Stat~ as eer prouced a better equity lie lived out tho alloted time to: man. lacking twelve days. His whole life was a continued sermon, and his texz. was charity and chastity. He loved his Tellow man and was beloved by many. He was broad minded and loved his friends above party prejudice. Well do I remem her the 25th day of June, 1890 at Lex ington, S. C.. when. our people being so fearfully divided. some good but nisguided men vantCL to miob a prominent candidate. and, but fo- the influence of a menmier of this co1t. then a candidate for the high office of lieutenant governor, blood would have been shed. After the speaking our hero. then a candidate for attor~ ney general. wvent to the brave and fearless candidate, who was willing to fight the crowd. and said: "You and your friend shall eat dinner with me today. Almighty God forbid that our people should ever be so divided again is my prayer." Chief Justice Pope made law his chief study, to which he directed ev erything else. His industry was in defatigable, his parts. quick, his appre hension lively, and his judgment sol id. He was meek, humble and modest in his sufferings, forgiving from his heart and tenderly loving his fellow man. He learned early in life that passion and revenge often make men furious, and that the lust of power, worldly honor, applause or wealth may prompt them to brave dangers, but that these passions leave them weak and dastardly in other cases, be ing most grievous crimes and full of misery. "Religion," he said, "is the only basis on which true magnani mity And courage caif stand. It so en lighten4 the mind as to set a man above all human wants and to pre serve him in all changes and trials steady and calm in himself. It se cures him against the errors, the in justices and the frowns of the world, and is, by its powerful motives, the strongest spur to all generous ac tions, and, under afflictions and suffer ings, a source of unalterable peace and overflowing joy which spring from an assured confidence in God's will is always most just and holy, and that He will be his protector and re warder." Ho~w well our hero knew that re ligion exerts this powerful influe'nce in us, and that it appears in our hearts, in our actions and in our con duct. It is not enough to encounter dangers with resolution; we must', with equal courage and constancy, vanquish pleasure and the softer pas sions. or we possess not the virtue of true fortitude. How often he used to talk to me about his three lovely daughters, one of whom preceded him to the grave by several years. He felt that her sweet hand was always beckoning him to come on to the beautiful home prepared for them 'by the angels. Of these lovely 'women one was his step daughter, of whom he would say to me: "I love Katy, now the accom plished wife of our tioq'!ent Col. George Johnstone, ju.st ta much as though she were my own child." A devoted husband, a devoted fath'er, his children called him "sweetheart." Farewell, my distinguished friend and comrade. Soon we who heard the roar of the same cannon and the rattle of the same musketry that you heard over the grave-dotted p-tins of Virginia, will assemble on the brink of the River of Time, awaiting the sound ,of the last reveille in the morn ing, and you will meet 1is at the cross ing. with Hampton and Butler .and Kershaw anid Hagood and the old Bald Eagle of Edgefieid, where we will rest under the shade of the trees.
