. ITS REWARD AND ADMIRATION
For the Judge Who for "Fourtwa
Horrible Years Stood the Principal
Barrier Between Us and the
Kncroaohmenta of Power. "
At a meeting of the Greenville Bkr,
held in honor of the late Hon. Geo.
B. Bryan, the following memorial and
resolution." were unanimously adopted:
l??kiufl[ back upon the history of
our State tho most casual reader mmt
recognize that to tho membors of tho
legal profession belongs tho credit of
some of our greatest and best reforms,
and that to them we owe a debt of
gratitude for the extrication of the
polony 6$ well as the State from some
of her greatest perils. In tho early
.history of tho colony,- for instanoe at
a period when it seemed that the little
community,' surrounded by savages
and remote from tho mother country,
?was about to be? corrupted and lost
tinder the influence of the gold of
was Chief Justice Trott
jjf ho, by his course upon the Bench,
puljlio Huiitiuieut a?4 finally
succoede&'with tho aid />f the Bar, in
hrin|dag/tho letfdorsto uislico. Again,
tae closo of tho war for indepen
dent), when tho victorious party was
revenge mut tho Stato was
fa<uf*u rifting to civil war, it was the
voice of Judge Burke, from tho Cir
cuit Bench, that called a halt, and by
the fearlessness of his conduct and
impartiality of his rulingu brought all
ri<Prt thinking mon to a realization of
tho danger, aud restored peuoo and
prospority to the country. Theso are
but two instances of tho inUucttfco of
-? 4he Bench. Many moro might "bo
.^itocl, but none moro staking than the
judicial career of the 1crud, good man
.in, honor of whom wo are assembled
fcere to-day. Wo say his judicial
career, f?r while other Judges in this
-7 Btat > havo been called upon to iheet
particular emergencies. J udgo Bryau
for fourteen horrible years stood the
principal, and at times tho only bar
rier between us and the encroach mouts
<y of power, Having been n consistent
opponent of secession, ho could with
truth take tho oath that ho felt tio
sympathy "with a wnf for secession, but
hi8 heart was over aud at all timos^n
deepest sympathy with the su fieri ng?
of his people, and absolutely loyal to
v the causo of constitutional liberty and
pke rights oj^thex'itizens.
When ho took his sent upon the
Bench there sat at his sido a Circuit
Jiidgoinfull sympathy with., me do
minant party. At tho door, w\might
say, were the jbayonots of tho United
-' Stales army.' Near by was a military
tribunal claiming jurisdiction in all
?criminal matters. In Washington a
Congress determined to revolutionize
tho Stato Government. Tho question
was immediately presented whether
th? civil powejr had priority over the
? military, and- Judge- Bryan met it in
a manner worthy of tfll praise.
Although prevented by brnto force
from enforcing, the jjrocess of tho
Court, yet his com so was such as to
" arrest tho attention of tho North, and
to set,in motion those influences which'
finally brought us -relief. In opposing
tho efforts mado tq drive tho Bar. out
of the Courts, tho infamous Enforce
mentyVet, the attempts to deprive tho
eitizcT^ of the Stato of tho right of
trial by jury of" the vicinage? iu all
. tbeBo strugles (each of tllem of vital
importance to tho country) Judge
Bryau was a tower of strength in be
half of the right. Not until tho oflfow
tion of a Democrat to tho " oflico of
President ofi tho United* States did
these persecutions come to an ond,and
:~only then did Jndgo Bryan think of
retiriug. This he determined upon in
1886. He had reached tho age w hen
repose is tho ruling desiro of man.
.Though his mind was still sound, his
spowy locks aud slightly bent figuro
attested that he bore upon him tho
weight, of years. Ho enjoyed tho love
- and veneration of his family and
friends. He haft tho right by law to
; retire upon full pay, and amid tho
plaudits of the entire State ho steppod
? down from tho seat lie had so long
adorned. After his retirement he re
turned once moro to ^ho quiot, modest
Iifc>6f which ho was almost fond.
..Surrounded l>y a devoted family tho
. downward path of life, though accom
paniod by physical "labor and pain,"
the common ichertianceof alLmankind
who attained lo four scoro ^<Vrs, was
ptrowu With mauy*flowor?.
On the 28th day of September, at
Lis summer home, ho passed away in
the.midst of those he loved. It is this
event that wo have met to commemo
rate In doing so we do honor, no
"" only to him, but to ourselves our pro
feeaion of our State, of which he was a

t)f the South Carolina State Weuthfi'
<? Service for September. ^
J. W. Bauer, director of tho Weath
ev Bureau, has jwbt issued tho follow
ing summary for September : The
past month was noted as being the
warmest September in tho interior of
* the State, of w hich record ia available.
Along tho^oast, tho mean temperature
was exceeded by that of 1881 only, in
the annals of the Weather Bureau.
Tho oxcess of heat ocourred mainly
during tho daytime as the night tem
perature differed but little from thoso
usual to September. The month was
remarkable for the number of days
with maximum tompcrutures of 00 or
above, the averago tor tho Stato hav
ing boon' 11 daysT ranging from three
at Port Royal to 27 at Shaw's Forks.
Thoro was n period of from 8 to 11
cousocutivo days on which tho maxi -
mum temporaturo foached 00 or abOvo
in the central portions of tho State,
which was the greatest heat-wavo over
recorded in tho same month, and sel
dom surpassed during the hottest
months.
There was only 26 per oentum of
tho usual rainfall and it was not well
distributed. Over a narrow strip ex
tending from Beaufort into Charleston
county, there was a slight excess;
omitting- this email territory, thcro
wus only 18 per centum of tho usual
amount for tho rest of tho State.
Three stations reported no nun, and
eight others less than half an inch.
AlLtRe rain fell before tho middle of
the month, followed by an unprece
dented period of clear, hot weather
that quickly dried tho ground and
brought tho growth of fall crops to a
standstill; cutting short such crops
as usually como to maturity by the
.cml of September. Tho top-crop of
cotton and lato root crops sustained
tho grentoBt injury J pastures U^camo
brown and bare; streams ran very low,
'and wolls went dry in a fow localities.
The drought was most, sovero in tho
western portions of tho State. Tho
month was favorable for harvesting,
and especially for picking cotton, tho
dry weather mado it possibLe to sccuro
the lint in the fiuekj. condition. It was1*
too dry for late Corn and peas. '
Thero was a light frost, the first of
tho season, in Oconee, Pickens and
Greenville counties on the morning of
the 30th.

Under authority of a joint resolution
oftho Legislature of .South Carolina,
passed Decern i i r 'J'J, 189-1, \iz:
"That thu GcKor lK'r be, ami here
hy authorized to appoint a commis
sion of ooo or morn suitable persons
'to select designs and places v>f location
for monuments to troops from South
Caroliua, ?h recommended by tho
Chiokamaugu commit' sion.
Section 2. That said commission
will make its report to tho Governor,
who will communicate with tho Gener
al Assembly at its next regular session
1895, with such recommendation as
ho may doom best, ut which timo such
further action upon tho reeomuionda
tioii.H vt the Chiokaxnauga commission
may bo takeu as tho General Assembly
may sue tit," tho following commission
was appointed' by thc"'t In V'Oflibr: Gen .
U. I. "Walker, Major J. D, McLucas
and Capt. 0. K. Henderson.
Tho commission has deoided to
reoommeud to t ho Legislature tho erco*
tion of the following monuments: One
principal monument, comuiomorativo
of the valor of all tlio South Caroli
nians engaged in the battle, to bo
placed on Dyer's Knoll, the spot where
KtTcliaw^s brigade matlo a most glo
rious and victorious charge, and a con
spicuous posit ion on tho Held ; ouo of
fltnaUqr size, oaoh, to Kershaw's brig
ade, to be placed whoro they fought
tho whole afternoon on Suodgrass
Range; ono to tho South Carolina reg
iments, (I nth and 10th) of Manigault's
brigade, to bo orccted where they
fought for three hours on Bnodgrass
Range; ouo to 1 1j o South Carolina
regiments, (10th and 24th,) Gist's
brigade, anyone to Culpepper's Bat
tery, tho position oftho last two to bo
designated hereafter. That to Ker
shaw's brigade, being to tho largest
number of South Carolinians, to bo
tho largest of these four, to Mauigayjt's
and Gist's smaller, and to (^ulpeppers
battery smaller still. J?ef these four
monuments Jho q<5m mission rather
favor a design somewhat similar to
tho monument to Battery I, XJ . S.
artillery, now on the battlefiomr^K^.^
All the monuments aro proposed to
be made of South Carolina granite, of
the most enduring kind, to be without
'any ornamentation which will be in
jured by tho wear -of the olements and
time, to have no sharp edges, the
blocks of stone to be joined in the
most secure and lasting method, all
lettering, otc., to be out in and no
raised letters to be used, and every
thing to be of the most substantial
and permanent workmanship and ma
terial. The past record of all bidders
will be considered as to thoir habit of
doing thorough work. Tho larger
monument to have on it, in some ap
propriate place, tho palmotto, our
State emblem.
Tho Legislature has made no ap
propriation of any moneys nor indi
cated in any way how much it will
appropriate. The appointment of tho
commission in 1803, whioh established
tho position of South Carolina troops
on tho battlefield, and of this com
mission on monuments, shows that it
intends to do something, andrthe com
mission expects liberal treatment at its
hands and a generous dotpdion to tho
noble men who fought and died on
this, one of tlio most desperate and
bloody battlefields of tho world's his
tory. It is advised that such designs
?be submitted as will make tho total
cost of tho monuments erectj^S, on tho
battlefield botweon 39,000 and $12,000.
Larger estimates will be received and
coDsidored, but it is doubtful if they
can bo passed, even if submitted to
tlio Lcgislatere.*
Tho Chiekamauga Park commission
will furnish tho sand and brokjjn stoue
necessary for tho foundat#*?lfs. ? Esti
mates must bo for tho monuments
erected on tho battlefield at Chieka
mauga.
Designs with estimates, or designs
without estimates, but accompanied
with an approximate idea of costs,
given by a reliable and experienced
builder of monnmeuts, will be received
by Geii. C. I. AValkor,-3 Broad street,
Charleston, S. C., if delivered to him,
sealed, by Novomber 8, 1895. They
will bo opened and passed upon at a
irieeting of/lhe commission to bo held
about November 12.
It must' bo distinctly understood
that tho commission does not bind
itself to aocept any design orestjmate.^
It can return tho siyuo only at owners'
costs, and the designs selected will
have to be submitted to tho Legisla
ture. No financial engagement can be
m?ule until the Legislature has mado
appropriation and given authority to
contract, etc. C. I. Wai?K*B,

station reports, was 03.5 aud tho nor

There wero frosts on the 1st, 2nd
und 8rd, roaohing from the extreme
western portions of tho State into tho
central aud northeastern counties \
where, however, but little or noinjury !
resulted. In tho western and extreme
northern counties the frost was heavy,
killing pea viuos, sweet potato vines,'
very Into corn, and what ootton leaves
that remained greeu, but it was not
cold euongh to injure ootton bolls.
Ihoro w as an entire Absence of rain
duriug tho week aud the drought.be
came greatly . iutou&ifled. r Over the
wlmle^Ststo there has uot beon more i
awibest a trace of rain sinoe from
the tfth^ ftiu 142th of September, and
in many places tliero has been no bene
ficial rain siueo tho 23d of August.
The effect of tho drought has been to
out short tho pea crop; stop the growth I
of cotton and out off tho toporopj pre- '
vent lato corn frfttn filling properly; to
out off tho yield of tweet potatoes, es
timated at from one-fourth to one
third; to greatly reduce, if not to
mako an entire failure, of all root
orops in general; to reduco tho
of molasses from sorghum and sugar
oauo; to ruin fall gardens; to keep
back the growth of winter vegetables
on the coast truck farms; and to pro
veut tho sowing of smal^grains. How
ever, tho long continued dry, sunny
weather gave excellent opportunity for
making hay of all varieties and a very
largo fodder crop was saved in tho
very best condition} for drying out
and housiug corn; for picking ootton,
which uiiido rapid progress, and tho
lint has been saved in ft beautiful con
ditio^ and tof general harvost work.
Thero,\vajij^almo8t continuous clear
weather tho whole week, on tho 7th
alone was tho sky obscured by clouds
iu tho western portion.
The condition of tho various orops
remains practically unchanged at the
end of tho week.
Rapid progress was made in picking
^uul harvesting cotton, so that it is
generally reported from tho eastern
portions of tho State that at least two
thirds of the orop;hus boon pioked and '
a largo pro] ortion of it marketed.
What remains in tho fields, in that
section, io all open, and picking will
bo finished in from two to thrcoweoks,
if the weather remains favorable. In
tho western portion of tho Stato pick-/
ing is less advanced, but oven thoro
nearly tho whole orop is open, and
picking and marketings beiug pushed.
Tho prevailing satisfactory prion of
cotton causing tho farmers to sell as
fast as gathered. Ap.picking advance*
towards completion the smallness of
tho crop becomes more and inoro ap
parent.
Tbero is little more to add to what
has boon said of corn in previous
bulletins. Husking and housing has
beeu carried on to somo extent, but
tho weather has been' such that corn
did not demand immediate attention,
was, in fact, better conditioned in tho
hu?k thau it would have boon iu the
crib. Tho crop is largo ..enough to
supply the needs of tho State, with
possibly a surplus.
Tho entiro season has favored tho
harvesting of rice, and that work is
practically completed on tho coast
and river plantations; upland rice
failed rapidly during Soptombcr, and
is ripening vorg unsatisfactorily.
Peas of late^ffiintiug did not till well,
and wilj be 1 iC short crop. Early peas
yielded- wen.
Sweet potatoos aud socond crop of
Irish potatoes are yielding very poorly
generally, although quito well in
places.
Tho growing soanon is now practi
cally ended und littlo change can
occur in tho condition of the differ
ent crops not yet entirely -gathorcd.
It is unnecessary to review /the
seasou as a whole, as a fllo of these
bulletins is a better record, except to
say that, everything considered, tho
fanners of South Carolina have abun
dant reason to feel satisfied with tho
season's results, for while some crops
were undoubtedly short others woro
correspondingly largo.
Although the weather conditions
may not have been perfect, and the
crops might have beon larger, yet
l?w, if any; States fared better, whi'e
many fared Worse. Tho entire ab
sence of destructive storms of wind,
rain, or hail is worthy of notice. j
Note. ? With this issue, tho SoaJifi
Carolina weather and crop Jnrt)6Gng
are discontinued for tho &?rfon of
1895. The bulletins have contained a
general, but faithful record of the
weathor that prevailed, ovor tho ontiro

bringing -10 to 15 cents. The; ground
is too hard for .sowing oats. Many
farmers wanted to got them in tho
ground during September, so that they
may get a foir start before tho freezcj
set in This year they have failed.
It is estimated that thoro are at
present not less than 20,0'Jl) people
gathered around the cotton mills in
tho four counties of Spurtanbnrg,
Greenville, Laurens and Union, and
?when tho mills now building 'and pro
jected are completed, say a venr hence,
it is probable that the number of this
mill population will reach 25,000 or
30,000.
A Spartauburg farmer says this fall
up to dsto is like the fall of 1850. It
was ?o dry that corn was^rcady to
gather October 1. The. fall was fol
lowed by the heaviest snows that have
fallen in his memory. From January
1 to about the 1st of March tho snow
wsb not olT the'grouud.
Clieraw h?s seven or eight cotton
buyers this season and tho prices have
ranged above those paid at tho ports.
' The extremely dry weathor has kept
the staple from getting dirty and a lino

Tho notorious outlaw, Emanuel Wil
liam*, was killed at Soivoru id*turi}?y
night by Mr. Osoar Mover, ? <^on<}Uo
tor and Southern Kx press moadouger
on tho Carolina Midland Railroad.
Mover and William** had bad some
1 rouble some two or throo weeks sinoe 1
at Seivern, and Moyor hud boon advis
ed by numerous friends to bo on the
alert, lost Williums would tuko an ad
vantage tsoino timo and lull him in tho
dark,
Moyor, who runs regularly as con
ductor on tho Caroliua Midland Rail
road, roooivod a dispatch at Wagenor
Inst night reading thus: "lie on the
lookout; Koinothing wrong in town." i
Signed. "
Thin put him on hia guard, when ho <
wont into Seivern ho 11 rat asked tho
agent and afterwards Engineer Good- j
win to walk with him to hi* boarding
house. Uoodwin agreed to do it, aud
whott they hud come in about two steps
of his house door Moyor saw a man '
lino out of tho bushes to hia left with
hia loft hand in hia bosom as if grip
ping a weapon.
Meyer li rod and tho shot took effoot
in the left side about on^-half inch
from a lino .with tho nipple and two
iueho.t lo the right of it. Tho ball
passrd through the heart and lung ami
pressed against the ?kin on tho back
hide. Aeting Coroner O. -lones linlU
gear held tho inquest today, and tho
jury, with Mr. Emanuel Husboo aa
foreman, brought in a vordiot that'
"Kmauucl Williama canto to hia death
from a gunshot wound in the hamla of
Oscar Meyer, aud that tho said Oscar
Moyer'a hlo wan in imminent danger
at t ho t i me. "
M? yer has numerous friondH, and
everybody i.ooius to t hink that tho \ or
diet \\;*s pi rfeetly rightooua aud en
tirely consistent with tho fact .
It will bo remembered Dial Williama
ia the man who, for nil intents and
purposes, haa boon out law ed by sever
al States. lie ia Urn man who ia sup
posed to have killed Mitchell Poole, of
this county, about two years ago.
After his trial for thin ho waa carried
lo Alabama to anawor for orimoa ho
wus\upposud to have committed, and
put out otj^onil there. His bondsmen
proved that ho was drowned in tho
Alabama river and tho bonds woro aat
wiled.
' From that tituo ho was successively
in Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia aud
Florida, till .limitary. 1 when ho
, waa brought back to South Carolina
' on suspicion that he was tho murderer
of County Treasurer Copes.
| Under thia charge ho wua lodged iu
tho Penitentiary and retained tliero
till some timo in April last. Williams'
* career has been a notorious ono of
critno and depredation.
Oscar Moyor ia a young man, honest,
frugal, industrious utid striotly atten
tive to -his own business, of a quiet
disposition and perfectly culm aud
considerate. lie stands very high, in
tho opinion of his omployors, tho Car
olina Midland ltailroad and Southern
Express Company, who, no doubt,
will ?co that ho has a fair showing in
the Courts.

As he did ao tho gun wa$, discharged
and the load of alioot entered one of
his legs above the knee and fractured
