LIFE OF SERVICE BROUGHT TO CLOSE I Rev. N. J. Holmes Dies in Greenville.. , I Greenville, Dec. 18.?The Rev. | Nichols John Holmes, prominent min-1 ister of Greenville and South Caro-j lina, died at his home last night after i ?n extended illness. He was 721 years of age. Mr. Holmes was president of the Holmes Bible and Missionary institutute of this city, which for some years, was conducted on Paris mountain. Before accepting this position he was an attorney for! 15 years at Laurens. His education) was received in this country and in J Scotland and Germany. j Hp is survived bv his widow, Mrs. j Lucy Holmes, daughter of the latei Governor impson, a brother, A. R. Holmes of Laurens, and a sister, Miss I Mary Bell Holmes of Columbia,' Funeral services will be held at the ! Holmes tabernacle here at 10 o'clock! Friday morning, after which the bcdv ' will be taken to Laurens for burial! at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. j The Rev:- N. J. Holmes was the! eldest son of the Rev. and Mrs. Z. L. I Holmes. The Rev. Z. L. Holmes was' a man of great learning and piety and was the founder of a number of Presbyterian churches in Laurens and neighboring counties. He was, too, a teacher most of his life, long time a professor in the old "Laurensville Female college," a prominent institution in its day, and his attainments onH fVi a nhvsical Ill unu r~* sciences were considerable. His younger son, the late Joseph A. Holmes, distinguished chief of the federal bureau of mines, was the inheritor of his father's scientific turn. N. J. Holmes served with the youths near the end of the Confederate war and a year or two later, along with a party of young men of the upcountry, including the late Samuel W. and William Vance, George_ John stone of Newberry, Carolus Simpson of Laurens, and perhaps others, was sent to the University of Edinburgh, where they spent some years in that world famous Scottish institution. On his return to Laurens, young Holmes studied law and soon entered upon *s pvnctice. For a time he was in the office of the late Coi. William Mini. . ."NTnmsnn. afterwards lieuten- I nt governor, governor and chief ustice, whose daughter lie married, . .nd later iiac'k-ed under the fr\n aire of ivd Simpson wiih Irs ^ro'her-ln-lav/, Cci.

Y/'vr i.: middle life, after about 15 years of j practice, he had gained a standing as one of the leaders of the up-country j bar, he resolved to enter the Presby-1 terian ministry. On account of his j recognized scholarship, for he had all < his life been interested in the work; of the church and was widely versed in its history and literature, the usual requirement attendance in a theological seminary was waived and he began at once the labors of a pastor. After a few years he took up the work of an evangelist. A man of purer life and more devout piety from boy- j hood to old age has seldom lived and j withal he was a man of uncommon intellectuality and strength of character. AIR ROUTE STARTS !

' | Immigration. (From the Ohio State JJournal.) I If our immigration laws had been ! forceful and comprehensive a few: years ago, we might not now suffer j the trials and tribulations through | which we are now passing. The fact \ is we have allowed more people to j come to our shores than we could j Americanize, and so they have j brought their old world ideas with; them, and these were too often opposed to law and order. But we have now only ourselves to blame, fori there was in time a strong enough! | demand for better immigration laws,! J that now would relieve us of so much; anxiety and peril. Much of neglect to build up our immigration legis-1 lation was due to politics, which is; always poking up its hydra-head to endanger the republic. But it is not { too late to advance our immigration! regulations. i I t i _ i I ews Bulletin ij i _ I Necessary in Asportation / biles must be economical," ral dealer in Chevrolet pasi. - - - but very little more to use ransportation utilities. . ce, comfort, and other adconveyance should all be automobiles. act that the great majority ve care that are also inexr motors built to make every 3ut waste to a minimum? lays and expense in ad.iust:tion that substitutes sturdy avy materials?even distriHiere should be no excess irts. s that render twenty miles for every gallon of gasoline e correspondingly eccnomiperating cost to be a factor i. ire no longer interested in equipped after they are 3r instance are necessary to They save time, labor and 3ed in the purchase price as 1 Jill other en'iiomenl now mica! transportation? -that this purpose?are real util: demand."
