"I knew him well. Horatio. A man j
or lnnuiio jc.;i aau most. excellent
fancy."
It has been years since I met my
friend, Mark Blanfcrd. I see by the
press dispatches that he is d^ad?died
in Columbus iast weak, it grieved me
for a tfcne. although ho was old enough
to die. Eighty yea1 s is a good old
age if the matt is good. Every time one
of these eld trees falls it shocks me.
George barn s died not long ago in
Augusta, and 1 was grieved, for I loved
him and 1 unconsciously whispered.
"Next!v Only three of us left of the
Senate of lS.i'l. Three w> re forty- .
four, but the old reaper has cut down >
all but our Chi f Justice Simmons, our
chaplain. Brother Yarborough, and my- I
self?and I am tick?
But 1 was ruminating about Judge
Elnnf rd?men caned bid Ma le?we
a\h:> know him best, lie was, as Hamlet
said of Yorlck. a man of infinite
Jest and most oxeeUe>nt fancy. When
the spirit moved him ho could entertain
his friends most pleasantly and it
was our delight to get him and Judge
Vndcrwood and Judge Buchanan together
with Evan Howell as a teaser
and spend tho evening horirs during
the session of the supremo court wh 'U
Mark was one of the judges. During
tho cou'-t hours Chief Justice Warner
was sitting there as serious and solemn
as a Presbyterian preacher drinking in
the record and digesting the law of Cue
case, while Mark took in the surroundings
and absorbed ...e humorous side
of everything. He was a good lawyer,
but jumped to conclusions 1 ?... ? a woman
and never saw much difference
between the plaintiff and defendant
unless one of them was a woman or a
widow. One night we visited Mark in
his room and ne regarded us with his
experiences in justices* courts when he
was young anil devilish. The old time
justice court was a good school for a
young lawyer. lie not only practiced
law In it. but the arts cf oratory and
could use big words with impunity, for
neither the old squire nor the Jury
know their meaning, but were impressed
with their learned length and lingering
sound. I still remember the Frotinan
case that Mark rehearsed that
night. A \cmkeo school teacher from
tlio Nutmeg stt a lied sued dim .Tonkins
for ?1S worth ot' schooling foe h's two
boys. Troup and Calhoun. Jenkins
wouldn't nay It because the two little
mi litters hadn't learned anything hardly
and tliey told him that Fret man
.gave powerful long rcces-es and carri
1 on with the "nig girls amazing,
iospocially with Sally Amanda Jones.
1'r ?tman was a good-looking yan'ur,
with pink cheeks and winning ways,
and was popular with the girl scholars.
(Sometimes Salamander, as they called
her. didn't go out at recess, but pre- j
tended she had some sum.s to do. and i
wanted the teacher to show her how.
Troup oaid he heard her squeal o a
day, and peeped through the crack and
saw Fretman squeezing of her. Sha
was a red-headed gal.
Old Phil Davis was the justice court,
Mark's plea was that Fretman wasn't
a scholar, and not tlttin* to teach, and
that he couldn't read wrltin' nor write
reariln' nor sppll all the words In
Daniel Websttr's blue-back spellln' i
book, and he made a motion to put
him cn the stand and spell him. Feetman's
lawyer fought It, but the o'd
squire said lie must spell. Fretman was
seared. He trembled nil over like a
cold, wet dog. "Spell Phthls'e," said
Mark, and he spelt It correctly. Ha
then spelt him right along on all sorts
of bTp words anil little words and long
words, and afterwards, but Fretman
nev? r missed until finally Mark says.
"Now spell Ompompynusuk." Fretman
f'l.iw a long breath and sad it
wasn't in the book, llut Mark proved
by an old preacher that it was in the
book, and so old Phil spoke up and
said: "Mr. Fretman. you must spell it. I
sir." He was then sweafin' Hke a run- !
down Ally. He took one pas* at It and
missed. "You can ccme down, sir."
old Mark, "you've lort your case."
Ann sure enough old Phil gave Judgment
against him and he had the cost
to pay. But ho was good grit, for hs
stuck to his school end his Salainan- j
dor.
At the next court Mark mnvnA
r.onsult ft doctor who had sue 1 a feiler,
and he filed a plea of mal-praotiee and
demanded a rrofert of his diploma.
The doctor said he had one at home,
and begged for time to go after. Old
Phil gave blm time, and he rode 0 I
tulles and back as hard as he coul'J
lick It. and shook It in Mark's face
triumphantly. Mark smiled and said:
"Now, doctor, please take the s anl
and translate this furrin' language. Into i
English, eo that his honor n;ftv know
whether it Is a diploma or not. It
loeks to me like nn old revolutionary
grant of land." Of course the doctor i
couldn't translate it. and lost lib case 1
