SimiisoM, 8(), died .Saturday night at his home. He was a distin guished citizen, member of the Laii rens bar for approximately 'dO y<-ars. dean of bar am! past president of the l.aiirens Bar association. Because of the infiiinitie.s of age, he had !u‘en a shut-in during the last several years. Cheiu fully he had con tinued t.o receive visitors and inti mate friends at his home, the homo of a!uIouiaJ tyji^* of his parent-s. His pass- ling is inourried by this city and the entire county, for he had been a faith ful, aliiding frierpl of all, jiarticularly of thi>s(' comprising the citizenry of the town in which he had spent His long life'and which h«^ had loved with patiiotic devotion and zeal. Henry Ydung Simpson, horn .Inly 29, IHol, was a son of the. late Wil liam I). Simpsop, governoi’ and chief justice of .South ('arolina, and .lane Young Simpson, who were themselves de.scended from distinguished fore bears and had laam i<ientified with the business, professional and religious lif«- of the community and county from pioneer tlays. The men gave gallant .service in the I'onfederiite war and in the suhse<|uent wresting of the state from carpetbag rule and plunder. He completed his formal education, in cluding law, at Princeton university. He had an active part in the historic campaign that resulted in the election of Wa<le Hampton as governor and W D. Simpson, his father, as lieutenant governor. Suh.se»juently, he'wa.< ap pointed a colomd on Hampton's staff. In the practice of his profe.ssion, he had among other law parliiexs, his. brother, Wi.star Simiison; his brother- in-law, the late Nicholas .1, Holmes, who gave up the law for the ministry; the lat«* G. Douglas Barksdale. After the turn of the <;entury, Rolnu-t A. Cooper, now a fetleral judge, associ ated himself with Colonel Simpson. A few years later. Col. R. K. Babb be- canu' a memlier of the partnership, under the firm name of Simpson, Cooper and Bahh. Thus it has contin ued, with .Mr. Babb conducting the office alone, since the practical re tirement in recent years of the senior memht'r, preei'ded by the removal from the town of Governor CcMvper. _ Colonel Simpson was a member of the leg.silature in the IHSd’s. In poli tics he was a conservative. He had very little taste for political -prefer ment for him.self, but he continued to take an interest in county, state and national Demoeratic tickets as long as jiitS” health perinTHfHT. He was an effective ami eUajuent speaker in the courtroom ami on the'hustings. .As a member and ruling elder in the First Presbyterian church, he ac cepted the assignment to make the principal address, to include a recital of the church’s history on the occasion of the centennial celebration .April 3, 1932. This was one of bis last public addresses, lit was in the nature of 1 per.sonal recolU'ctidns and a .sermon I in one. Speaking at the time of his .relationship to the church, he said: (‘'For SO of these 100 years, lacking ,a few months, I have come along •with the church, was reared under its influence, if not in the church itselLi- .At the organization of the cbiifch, among the names of the women who l>ecame members, you will find the name of Mrs. Lucy Young, my grand mother. and the first infant offered for baptism that day was Jane E. Young, my mother.” I On the (Kcasion of his vksit to I.,au- a year ago, Judge R. A. Cooper, j in private conversation wdth a group jof friends, paid this tribute to Colonel Simpson: “If the people of I.aurt‘ns ^county had known Col. Henry Simp- ' son as I have known him through a 1 long, intimate relation, they would [have drafted him for the highest post of honor in the state.

Clemson’s mighty eleven ran rough shod over Presbyterian’s weak and in effective line-up Saturday to accumu late 46 points in their most crush ing victory of a long .series of annual ^openeTS~ar Clem son. - The Stockings hit scoring territory through a recovered fumble as the game opened in their only scoring threat. Giving way to Clemson’s on rush, they he!plcs.«ly allowed three first-half touchdomis. The .second se mester netted four, despite some good defensive work by the P. C. line. Neely allowed three sets of fast and husky backs to ronrip through the flazed Hosemen. His line functioned smoothly and effectively to’-give the rear guard all manner of offensive opport unties. Steele Caldwell played an in.opired, heads-up en<l, with Boswell and Hipp doing their share at the tackles. .John son’s pony back field had too much brawn and power thrust at it to make any headway.
