"Quick perceptions, stud ious hahlts and a most gonial dls- 1 j x >h1 t ion characterized Dr. Gary and made for him many frlemls."

She Is perhaps the only woman living who has had three sons on the bench at the same time. Ernest (Jary was for several years >i student, at the Cokeshury Conference school in his native village. He -read law In 'Augusta, in the office of bis uncle, Maj. Wm. T. (Jary, and after ward was the law partner qt Edge field of another uncle, Con. Mart. W. Gary, until Gen. Gary's death in 1881. 1 Ity then became associated in the practhti of law at Edgefield with N. G. Evans and tills partnership endured I until 1 892," when Mr. Gary ascended I the bench. Meantime Mr. Gary had.. .been ac tively In public life. He liecame a member of the general assembly . in 188(1. was reelected In 1888 and again in 1890 and served in the house of rep resentatives with conspicuous ability;! fciotahly as chairman of the Judiciary J committee. '? He was also county chair man of the Democratic, party in Edge Hold. was a delegate to several Demo cratic State conventions and in I892y| was an elector at large on the Demo cratic national tloket. Gen. Joseph Brevard Kershaw of Camden, having declined reelection as judge of the Fifth Judicial circuit, Er nest Gary was elected by the joint as sembly in 181)2 to succeed him and since then as his several terms have I expired he has been reelected. South * Carolina Bench and Bar (Brooks) published while Judge Gary was yet alive, says of his career on the bench : "Judge Gary has made an exceed ingly able Judge and has won the high esteem and golden opinions of the bar throughout the State. The ease with which he presides and the promptness and correctness of his rulings have been remarked time and time again. He conducts the business of the court upon common sense principles and from the beginning, of Ills Judicial ca reer has been deservedly popular with all the ottlcers of the court and the jurors, whom he always treats with due conshl ration and looks after their comfort as far as comports with the orderly discharge of the business of the court. "Judge Gary Is an untiring worker and as soon as the adjournment of the. court he prepares the deer.?es in those cases which were heard and could not be disposed of during the term. He has worn the ermine worth ily and we wish him many more years of useful service on the bench." Judge Gary was married November 15, 1905, to Miss Eliza Hliett, by whom he Is survived. Mrs. Gary is a daugh ter of the late John T. Rhett of Co lumbia. Judge Gary was one of the nine chil dren born to his parents. ' Surviving him from among these is Mrs. James M. Eason, of Charleston, with two brothers, Eugene Blackburn Gary and Frank Boyd Gary, both of Abbeville. E. B. Gary has been at various times lieutenant governor of South Carolina and associate justice of the State su preme court, of which tribunal he Is at this time the chief justice. F. B. Gary now judge of the Eighth judicial cir cuit, was a member of the constitu tional convention of 1895, served three terms in the general assembly, during part of which time he was speaker of the house of representatives; and was elected by the Joint assembly as United States senator to fill the unexpired term of Asbury C. Latimer, deceased. Duncan C. Ray of the Columbia bar said of Judge Gary last night: "In the death of Ernest Gary, South Carolina' has lost an able, upright and a just judge. Called at an early age to scueceed Jos. B, Kershaw, beloved by every true citizen, Judge Gary bad before him a difficult task, that of measuring up to the standards fixed by this great jurist "But well did Gary meet this obli gation and now, when, after 22 years of service upon the bench, "he goes to his rest, all will agree that he success fully emulated his noblo predecessor and beyond this there can be no higher commendation.' "He sought to be Just above all things, and yet tempered Justice with mercy. Firm but. considerate, he was a model Judge. Of him it could be truly said: "fils life was gentle and the elements so mixed in him that na ture might stand op and say to all the world, this was a man.' " _ PROTECT THE BIRDS. Orioles, Swallows and Night Hawks are Valuable. hi' nil the birds known mm natural cuciide* of the cotton boll weevil, ori swallows a ml uiuhthawk* are t In* uiosi Important. according Cm 4he Hio logical S?rM',\. Insect s|?erlalists ??f the bureau litivt1 made extensive inves tigations of (lu* MUlijcel, which have de vcIojmmI that there a ro tin kinds of birds (hat eat (lie weevil. , The ni^hflmwk, or hullhat, cat flies the weevils on the win# In Miij'Mliliirii hh' mi in t ?*? in, especially during their nil gratlon. Unfortunately, the nighthawk Is shot for H|H?rt or eaten for food In Home sections of the KoUtll, hnt Its value for food Ik infiltcslunil as com pared with the HervlcoH It renders the cotton grower and other agricultural ists, and every effort should |s> made to spread broadcast a knowledge of Its usefulness as a weevil destroyer, with a view to Its complete protection. The oiiolup, barn swallow, rough-winK swallow, hand swallow, rlitt swallow, and t lie mart In are all |>crslstcnt ene mies of the boll weeVlI. From the standpoint of the fanner and the cotton grower these sw'allows are anions the must useful birds. Fs peclally designed by nature to capture Insects in midair, their powers of flight and endurance are unexcelled, and lu their own hold they have no coniiiett tol's. Their |H>culiar value to the eot ton grower consists in the fact that, that, like the nighthawk, they capture boll weevils when flying over the fields, which no other birds do. ? Flycatchers snap np the weevils near trees and shrubbery. Wrens hunt them out when concealed under bark or rubbish. Itlackhirds catch tlieui on the ground, as do the kildeer, titlark, meadow lark, and others ; while orioles hunt for them on the bolls. Hut it 1A tin? peculiar function, of swallows to catch the. weevils as they arc making long flights, leaving t lie cotton fields In search of hitUng places in which to winter or entering them to continue their work of devastation. Martins are not at all fastidious about the outward appearance of their dwellings, and a largo gourd susiiend ed from the top of a dead tree or a I wile, or any kind of a weather-tight, box 6r barrel, however rude, when di vided into compartments answers their needs as well as the most costly and ornamental house. The rooms should be about 4 l-U inches wide. 7 Inches high, and '8 inches deep, with entrances at>out .'1 inches in diameter. They will not build close to t.lie ground, having a wholesome fear of cats and other invaders; hence the houses should be elevated from the ground not less than 15 feet. Drinking water is essential for martins and all other swallows, and the presence of a small pond, lake or river greatly increases the chances for colonization. He Bought a Saw Down In Georgia Home time ago a man went into a store to buy a Haw. He saw the kind he wanted and asked the price. It was $1.65, the dealer said. "Good gracious," said the man, "I can get the name thing from Sears, Roebuck & Co., for $1.35." "That's lenn than it cont me," naid the dealer, "but I'll Hell it on the name teruiH as the mail-order house just the same." "All right," said the customer. "You can send it along and charge It.". "Not on your life," the dealer re plied. "No charge accounts. You can't do business with the mail-order house that way. Fork over the cash." The customer complied. "Now two cents i>ostnge and live cents for a money-order." "What?" "Now two cents i?ostnge and five cents for a money order, to a mail-or der house, you know." The customer, Inwardly raving, kept to his agreement and paid the seven cents. "Now twenty -flve cents expressage." "Well, I'll be ? ." he said, but paid it, saying UNow hand me that saw and I'll take it home myself and be rid of this foolery." "Hand it to you? Where do you think you are? You're in Georgia and I'm In Chicago, and you'll have to wait two weeks for that saw." Whereupon that dealer hung the saw on a peg and put the money in his cash drawer. "That makes $1.67," he said. "It has cost you two cents more and taken you two weeks longer to get it than if you had jmld my price in the first place." ? Big Dry Goods House Fails. New York, June 25. ?
