era) terms a member of tho general
assembly, . wan chairman of tho State
hoard of health, was president of the
South Carolina Medical Assoclatlonl
and in Masonry was most excellent
grand high priest. "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."
Earliest of the known American an
cestors of Judge Gary was John With- 1
orspoon, horn noa r (j la scow In 1(170,
who lied with Ids family to Ireland
under the persecutions of tho Stuarts
and thence emigrated iti to tbatj
section of South Carolina now known
as \Villlnmshurg county, Witherspoon

herself a granddaughter of the dough
ty Scottish proncl^er and reformer,
John Kiiox, whose wife was Lady . Mar- 1
garet Stewart, descendant Of Robert,
Ihiko, of Albany, second Hon of Robert
IT, King of Scotland,
Judge Gary's . mother, who survives I
him, was before her marriage Miss
Mary Caroline Blackburn daughter of
the late Stephen Blackburn of New
berry county and descendant of Wll- 1
Ham Blackburn, an officer of the Amer- 1
lean army who died In the battle of
King's Mountain. 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. ? The great dry
goods house of H. B. Claflin Co. fail
ed today with liabilities of $35,000,
(?00. The afcsets are estimated at $40,
000,000.
Two proceedings, friendly and un
friendly ? threw the firm Into bank
ruptcy and two receivers were named
under bonds of $500,000 each.
The Claflin Co. controls or Is affil
iated with Homo 30 retail stores thru
out the United Stat** and it was the
indorsement of their paper held by
more than 3,000 bankers here and In
interior cities that caused the crash.
Lots of things and men seem easy
until one tries to do them ?
