MGee McGec" says in the Ander
son Mail: "A land boom last# as long
as there are suckers, and then it
backfiraa. I know, I've been in one.
vStill in th? backfire."
The witty Anderson philosopher
speaks ah experience that is not un
familiar in Several sections of the
country.
Booms do not help communities or.
individuals. The sky-rocket type of
real estate boosting is dangerous in
stead of being helpful to a commun
ity. Where, as a result of such booms
substantial buildings are erected, the
community is helped thereby because
few such building* are ever torn down
but individuals get badly battend
(sometimes and this, always retards
community growth. Green wood

Rock Hill Negro Liven After
Prepared; For Crave
t L L _
Hock Hill, May 28.? After all fu
neral arrangement* had been made
in his presence, and unable to talk
or make it known that ho was living
"Uncle Green" Barber, ante-bellum
negro, revived and today appeared on
the streets of Hoc& Hill, after hav
ing been marked on police records as
having died of heart failure while
uttending preaehing at Rock Grove
negro church Friday night
The facts are vouched for by
Patrolman David Moss of the Rock
Hill police force, who talked to the
negro and alio to his brother, John
Barber.
Friday night police received a re
port. that "Uncle" Green had been
found dead -in his seat after the ser
vices. A coroner's inquest was dis
pensed with, as officers were con
vinced there was no foul play. A call
for an undertaker and for a coffin
was sent in. Hours later, "Uncle
Green" gave the first sign of life,
j Teday he appeared on the streets
little thft worse for the experience,
hut admitting that he was frightened
nut of his wits, believing that he
was to be buried alive.
He told officers that he had heard
the wailfng of his relatives, the call
for the coroner, undertaker and cof
fin. He declared that the "cramps
had him," but better authorities be
lieve that it was temporary7 paraly
sis. The scores of negroes who saw
him at the church and after he had
been 'carried to his home, declared
that he showed^ no sign of life.

Hud fee? Associate Justice of Su
preme Court Since 1912
1?
(Sum tor Item, May 21)
Thomas Boono Fraser, Associate
Justice of the Supreme Court of
South Carolina, died at 10 o'clock
thin morning, at the Tourney hospital,
after only a few hours illness. He
was at his office yesterday as usual,
and attended the weekly prayer meet
ing of the Presbyterian church laxt
night. During the night he^became
ill and summoned his family physi
<Man, who found him suffering from
an acute attack of heart trouble. He
was removed from his home to the
hospital about 2 a. m. and everything
possible was done to relieve him. The
'attack, however, did not yield to
treatment and he continued] to grow
steadily worse until the end came
shortly before 10 o'clock. The cause
of death is given as angina jtectoris.
Justice Frascr was a native of
Sumter, having been born in this city
June 21, 1860. He was .the second
son of the late Judge Thomas B.
Eraser and Margaret (Mclver) Fras
er. He attended the Sumter schools
and Davidson College, N. C., gradu
ating from the latter institution in
the class of 1881, with the A? B..
degree. He read law, in the office
of his father, who was one of the
leaders of the South Carolina bar,
and/ in late life, for many years,
judge of the Third Judicial circuit.
He was admitted to the bar in 1883,
and entered upon the practice of law
in this , city immediately thereafter.
Hi: was elected a member of city
council and served as alderman for
two terms. From 1001 to 1012 he
represented Sumter county in the
lower house of the General Assembly
and was chairman of the judiciary
committee for five years. In 1912
he was elected Associate Justice of
the Supreme Court and was re-elected
in 1016.
Justice Kraser was a life long
member of the Presbyterian church,
serving as member of the board of
deacons and -subsequently for many
years as elder, Feu- more than thirty
years he taught in the Sunday school
of. his church and was one of the
organizers of the Men's Bible Clasji,
of which he has been one of the two
teachers from the date of it* organi
zation until the present time. He was
also one of the leading spirits in th^
formation of the Sumter Business
Men's Christian Club, as he has been
in all other movements for the moral
and religious betterment of this com
munity.
He married Miss Emma M. Ed
munds, daughter of the late Rev. N.
W. Edmunds, D. I)., December 10,
1 s8(), who, with one daughter, Miss
Claudia Eraser, survive him. One
brother, Rev. A. M. Eraser, D. I).,
of Staunton, Va., and two sisters. Mrs.
A. S. Mclver, of Darlington, S. C.,
and Mrs. D. M. Young of Sacramento,
Calif., of his immediate family alsJ
survive.
Justice Frascr was a man of whom
.Sumter was proud, a citizen of whom
nothing but good had ever been said,
learned in the law, a just and feai ?
less judge, a sincere and zealous
Christian, whose life from early
youth exemplified in word and deed
the faith that he professed. When
there is so much that could be set
down in his praise and in apprecia
tion of h'.s service and of the ex
ample hi st' t of right living and right,
thinking it difficult to find words
in which to a fitting tribute '.o
his memory. It i.-> best, perhaps. to
say that he was a good man, a
patriotic citizen, a devout Christian,
.i just judge, who so lived that he
ever held the esteem and confidence
ol" the entire community in which he
was born and had lived for s:xty-fiv>
years. No finer tribute could be pan!
