Mr. Speaker, little did I think at the last ses sion of this House that it would be my sad duty to deliver a memorial address, and par ticularly upon Hie lives and characters of my two deceased friends and colleague*—Drs Owens and Smith. But “we Know not w hat the morrow may bnng forth,” and are thus constantly reminded, and to-day doubly so, with the truth of that old saying, that “TO the midst of life we are in death.” For width of us would have thought that two such robust, bealtby-looking specimens of manhood would have yielded so soon to death's invincible Hade?

The simple narration of the f&cte is an eulogy In itself. Dr. Oaeti* was a man that pow^wH-tl aids;, warm heart. He wait a kind, courteous, wliok-Mmled uum, beloved by LD uei^litioni and all who knew him. He was m omadstent luenxber of the Elko Baptist Church. Dr. Owens waa not a man that do*Ir**l or aspired to political honors, belnp more ineiiued to private life, hut when his neighbors and friends Instated upon bis bet'ominga can didate from their section of toe couirty, he felt that it was bis duty to yield to their re quest and to enter the political arena. As to kls action in tho House he did what he be lieved *o be his duty. With these remarks on thellfeof Dr. Owens, Mr. Speaker, wo will now briefly ala nee at that of our other deceased friend uud col- 1 -aKue, Dr. J. Ryerson fc Sm:th. Dr. Smith was boru on the 22*1 Sopteir.ber, 1857. He was a member of one of the most nt and influential families in Barn- founty. He received Ms education at VVUltaton and Furman University, and afterwards Kradunted with distinction fnim the Baltimore Dental College in IbfSO. He immediately opened oflleo In IViliiston and BamliorK, and soon commanded a larce and lucrative practice, lie ranked with the best dentists in the State. In 1884 he married, and last year he was chosen to represent Barn well County In this House. To show you how popular he was, ho received oyer two thousand voles out of twenty-five hundred east in tho primary election lor the House of Representa tives with thirteen candidates in the Held to contend against. As to his record here, you are well acquainted with the active part wlTtekJhe took. He was chairman of the com mittee on claims, which position he filled with credit. Dr. Smith was a of exemplary char acter, high-toned and honorable and was termed by one who knew him . well as being “one of nature’s noblemen.” He was a con sistent member of the Baptist Church at Wil- Hstou, and took an active part In Sunday- school work and religious matters generally. He was one of our most prominent young men. and Barnwell County and the State can ill afford to lose such men of his character and worth. Since the last session of this House, and only a very short while before his death, he was elected president of the Farmers’ Coun ty Alliance to succeed the Hon. D. P. Sojourn er, who had resigned. This was quite an hon or to such a young man and spoke well for his popularity among the sons of toil. He possessed, as you well know, a fine and manly figure, and to all appearances was in perfect health. He met death manfully, being fully prepared. Surrounded by Ms loved ones his soul took flight while his Ups yet trembled with a prayer. Upon such a death we can’t help from exclaiming; promincr well Coi a new method in b* succeMfullv taught much expemse. | ^eful, llftf desiring to ~ ■ obtain full partlcuUra < 8' ‘•Oh, death, where is thy sting! > Oh, grave, where is thy victory!” Thus Inbrief epace of time Barnwell County end the State of South (. arohna has lost two of It* Keprescntatives, and two of its “does and patriotic Only a I fouu«t that tould furnish Improvement, and tf any better plan could ba sug- areated the farners ware read? and wfi- I ng to accept It. The only hindrance to the 'Order, tba Colonel said, was from wltbin and not from without tbclr 1 rank*. lla eotpbaUraHy said that tbU j country is In a depresasd condition, > and that merchant#, bankers ami cotton nu n were iretuMlug In I heir b«)Cta aim- j ply on account of the uncertainty bf' thp financial condition. He aald what , firmer* demanded was financial rtlief and tax rwllef, an J when they get thoae j tv.o things they will have pki**y and ! live happily. In snhstantUMon of his charge of the uncertainty of financial affairs, he , remarked that Uradairect reported , that per cent, of buslueaa vm* dono , on time. Lack of confidence I* the i cause of this uncertainty, he said, and! be proved It by saj Dig that money I could he borrowed In New York at a low iutrreet subject to call, but not on ; time. As to the Ocala platform and sub-treasury bill Col Liv'ugston said i they were not undemocratic or imprac- ticabl*, a« soma writers tbink. Kelcr-J nng to Federal taxes the speaker said | that In l8o i there was forty-three bll- l lloa dollars of bu^ioess done In this 1 country, and out of that amount only seventeen and a half millions was taxwJ. Mr Livingston said that farmers were sufferers by alt taxes not being paid. He said there is a cry that there Is overproduction of cotton, but it is not so. Nothing Is overproduced except fools and rascals, that Divine Provi dence, who rules over univers**, never wasted ItU gifts. He said fanners were selling cotton now’ at less than 4t cost them to make it, and it w as because o'the poor financial banking system and because speculators are holding cotton. In his experience cotton al ways brought the highest prices when currency reached the highest point. One great trouble was, he said, that !>l per cent.*of the wealth of this country was controlled by ti vo Eastern States oirside of where the crops of thiscoun-. tiy are grown. Ho advised fanners this year to first make-crops of the ne cessaries of life needed at home, and then afterwards to plant cotton. * Col. Livingston referred td the talk that the strength of the Alliance was weakening and that the Order would soon be dissolved. In answer to that he said that the wish was father to the thought, for the Alliance was stronger now than ever before and that it was going to tenaciously hold together and accomplish its object, though It will take years to do it. He said he wanted Eastern political domination broken; that the North not only controlled the finances and commerce, they even are masters, dictators and controllers of political affairs. Ho said that the East is so strong that it elects the President and that a combination of Southern and Western States could not destroy their power. He asked who is going to fight the South in its efforts to have the Government improve the Savannah River and deepen the harbors on the Southern coast of the Atlantic? New York and Massachnietts are the States which will fight it because if the im provement is made it may give the South commercial freedom to th ment of the North. Ue closed his address with an appeal to the audience to give the Alliance their help and sympathy, for If the movement U successful the good re sults will be enjoyed by sll classes of Nihilist Conspiracy.” _Then came tbe- order for the “Couversasione atfllnTiing- ton House,” and then, of course, his for tune was made, and Badger became nn !

And then I stroked my long gray beard (my beard jp my greet feature, you know*, fve got a rather low forehead, but then the eacienta ad mired low forehead#—taoui froute, Hor ace. lla. ha! “You’d make a capital nihilist," said uiuttM, old man?* aair sculptor airily.

And then the matter dropped. The next thing 1 heard was that Bad get was going tu immortalig* the Goose ciob—that he had determioed to paint a picture of Uie thirty moat celebrated members. Badger became suddenly pop ular. “Dear old man," he said to me, “1 want you to sit." 1 wa# delighted. I only sat for the face, you know, and I was iu tho very j center of the picture. Badger selected j twenty-nine other victims. The like j nesses were wonderful. The member* actually fenght for the honor of sitting i to Badger*and then he shot himself up in hi# atndio, and denied himself to everybody on the pretense of patting in the figares. There wasn't one of us who had theMeost doubt that tho great pic- tote of the Goose clnb wonlcfbecome a# celebrated as Terburg’s masterpiece, “Tho Congress of Monster." We felt— by we 1 mean the happy thirty—that we were already immortal; we felt that Badger would hand us down to posterity as representative light# of literature, science and art We’d have dono any- thinjpfor Badger at that time. We—1 and the other twenty-nine immortals—, were continually calling on Badger; but we never could get a sight of of the pic ture; he was invariably not at home. And then a dreadful rumor ran about the Goose club. Pugwash, the sculptor, came back from St. Petersburg, where he had been executing a commission, and ha told us that Badger had painted one of u font and had painted him in. We—X 'mean the original thirty—endured weeks of agony till the academy private view. We couldn’t get anything out of Pug- wash; he declared that he was sworn to secrecy: he even pretended that ho didn’t really know which of us was the—well, Peri at the gate—for he swore that the picture was covered up mysteriously with clothes, merely leaving an opening in which his head was inserted. How We all envied Pngwash! He, at least, was certain of immortality; But I was determined to ascertain the truth at once. Difeetly the hanging committee at Burlington Honse com menced its labors, I called on every academician and associate I knew. They the sculptor. It wasn't a well chosen moment for slapping me’bhlfite back. ''! turned gloomily toward him; my UeaK was too full for words. “Wliut's the Pug wash the sculptor airily, yon had your pocket picked?” •, ‘ It’ll be Hi. av. fu 1 Wow for Badger,” Kid I in a rffice that might have touched the heart of a atone. “It'# a fearful dis appointment to na." be a fool," aald Pugwash, drag ging me to lay feet “Let'a come and have a look at it.” * I followed him into room 6.
