Mourned At Sumter ' a Former Judge Robert Obadiah j J'urdy dted at his home here at one t o'clock this morning from a sudden 4 hoar" attack. .Judge I'urdy's death j came as a great surprise to 'his many Y friends, as he had been attending to t his pi active as usual up until yester- 1 day. He suffered a slight attack \ .Sunday and remained home yester- 1 day, but his condition was not consid- ] ered alarming. The announcement of Judge Purdy' .-udden passing came as a great shock to the community in which he 1 has been a prominent figure for many years. Horn in Lawrenceville, Va., February 11th, 1H57, he was educated in the common .schools of his native -late and in the Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical College. He graduated in law from the Unive-;!y of Virginia, and 'came to Carolina in 1881 to practice his i .-.-ion in Manning. There he married December 18, 1883, Miss Hat:.v II. Ingram, daughter of Dr. John I Ingram. Soon afterwards he formed a copartnership with Col. Joseph II. Karlc, ami in 1H8G removed to this - 'y and cast in his lot with the people of Sumter. Public spirited he was, and identified himself wth the best interests of his adopted homo; serving a worthy part in moral and religious work. As mayor and councilman he wrought diligently for public welfare. He was a devoted member of Trinity Methodist church, fill ing Acceptably the offices of Steward school superintendent. In, i|^02 he was elected Circuit Jud^e, \ which office he voluntarily reslgWeS in 1907 after a few years of distinguished service. Returning to private practice, he formed copartnership with Mr. R. J. Miami, so recently deceased. j Of kind and geniul nature he made \ many friends, and held them firmly ( to the end. . Though departing at a ripe old j age, his departure was all too >nun ; for his devoted family, and 'hej friends who knew him he.-* and I.?% ? d him most.

Yesterday the owner* of the HamIton Woqlen Company, whoae plant s in Southbridge, Maaa., surrendered o the agitators who Bowed diaaenion among its workers intimidated ts loyal men and made profitable optration impoaaible. They voted to lose the mill, They sacrificed a busiless which wa,s profitable in the past ,nd, if undisturbed by outsiders, captble of earning profit in the future. Today 1,100 men and women of touthbridge who have earned in the damilton plant their own livings und he livings of their dependents will >egin to look for new jobs. Axnong hem are men and women whose ootB strike deep in Southbridge men ?nd women who have been loyal in their service. Among them, too, are men and women who turned against the company because they were deluded by glib organizers from outside who preached the doctrines of socialism and of anarchy, using any philosophy that served their purpose of inculcating suspicion, ill-will and bad feeling. Some of these men and women have savings piled up against a rainy day. Their rainy day lias come. Tomorrow the selectmen of Southbridge will be looking for means to feed and clothe and shelter certain of these men ami women. The selectmen's job will be difficult; the 1,100 are a fifth of the worker- in the town; they include home owners and renter- who hitherto have paid taxes, directly or indtroetly. l'he selectmen can seize and sell the homes of owners who do not pay their tilxcs, evicting the inh!e-s, along with their children; hut thi- i- not a satisfactory Way collect taxes. Day after tomorrow some of the owners of the company may he looking for shelter, may he looking for food, ("omnionly in such a corporation there are share owners whose all is in the company- ?widows, old men. youngsters who are beneficiaries of estates that hard work and self-denial built up. Some of them, too, may see their homes sold for taxes by the selectmen of Southbridge. But the agitators will not be able to see the full fruits of their victory. They will hurry off to some other town where fresh dupes await them to contribute to "war chests" or "defense funds" on which these interesting parasitical products of industrialism grow fat.?The New York Sun.

We left lome on Saturady full of hope, ham ind eggs, enthusiasm, ami anticipaion, and besides, we had a reasonable amount of legal tender in our locket. We got there on 74 gallons of gas, 2 quarts of oil, lb hamburgers, 6 bottles of beer (for my 2 friends) no punctures, and 10 oranges. We put up at a nice hotel, really nicer hail our funds (still intact) justified, but we wanted to appear as rich as possible. The first duty's menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner (we called supper dinner? down there), was about as follows!: Chicken friccassee, onions au gratin, cavier, planked steak, broiled T-bones, Fruit Blanc Mange, and about 15 other rather expensive delicacies. The second day came and we began to order more carefull, so for breakfast, we had the pretty waitresses fetch us . . . some homecooked steak, 1 egg and 2 rashers of bacon, French fried potatoes, sauerkraut, and coffee. And then we all got together and began to figger and recount our money, allowing for the hotel bill 5 days later. The third day rolled around: we played off kinder sick for breakfast and all of us took cakes and syrup and coffee. We skipped lunch; everybody said he wasn't hungry. (We were dutching our way, doncherknow). But we went to supper rather early and had plenty potatoes, some fish, a slice of ham and tea. (We did away with dinner except at noon and re-instituted supper).

The whole story is contained in one of the most interesting tiles in government archives -document "126, 120"?five inches or more in thickness, and dating back to 1811. It is colloquially named "conscience fund" although there is no such fund in fact, as its receipts are carried under the heading "miscellaneous receipts." The items which compose these Receipts consist of remittances, usually from "unknown persons," who at one time or another defrauded or imagined they had, the government. The fund is 122 years old, and contains! contributions ranging from a 1-ceot stamp to $80,000. This latter amount however, was made in a scries of four returns from an unidentified donor. 4 Contributions have been made to the fund each year since 1827, with the single exception of 1848. The banner period was in 1016 when $54,000.15 was received by the then Secretary William Gibbs McAdoo, now Democratic senator from California. The file discloses that religion is the impelling .motive behind most contributions and payments , although some are dictated by other motives, h or example, there is a case of an American tourist arrested for speeding in Southern France, and fined $6.85. He refused to pay and went to jail instead. Hut he returned to his government, upon his release, the fine, asking that it be applied to the French war debt. A typical letter from a conscience stirred by religion follows: "Since becoming a Christian I am duly impressed to restore a postage stamp which I used once. It had served its purpose once but seemed not to have been cancelled much, if at all. Nevertheless I used it as I was at the time very much in need of one. "I am restoring it four-fold and trust I am forgiven for using it. I haven't been guilty of it any more. May the Lord bless each one and save our souls. I he 1-cent stamp came from a person who bought a lead pencil in Buffalo from a Canadian. The penny payment was to take care of the 50 per cent duty on the purchase. Another letter contained a farthing fiom a Britisher who was incensed at his country's failure to pay a war installment. 1 he farthing represented his pro rata share of the indebtedness. And still another inclosure was fiom an unnamed American tourist who reimbursed the government for some acorns picker! up as souvenirs on I he battle field at Gettysburg. For every , contribution received, however, there is an equal or greater number of applications for money from thd funds for the church and for charity. ?T Marine Recruits Wanted The Savannah, Ga., Marine Headquarters has been authorized to accept a limited number of young men each month during the balance of this fiscal year for service with the Corps, he Savannah office, in command of Major K.
