JUDGE WILLIAM H WALLACE
Soldier, Jurist and Statesman—A
Loss to the State—Sketch of His
Life.
Greenville Mountaineer-
The news will be received with sad
ness throughout the State that Judge
William H. Wallace has passed away.
He had been eick for two weeks with
grippe at his home in Union and was
thought to be improving, hut a sudden
relapse took place on Thursday, 2lst
inst., which speedily terminated in his
death. Judge Wallace was one of the
best beloved'Aen in South Caiolina.
He had troops of friends in every part
of the State, and it is not saying too
much that he never lost a friend by
his own conduct. Upright, honorable,
genial and companionable, from his
youth he was endearing his fellow-men
to him and received their cotdial affec
tion. When the war clouds lowered
'^Bver this section in 18C1 and men were
called upon to select leaders for the con
flict, it was not surprising that W m. II.
Wallace was soon chosen to command
others, lor he had been schooled to the
control of himself a >d was a flt leader
of meu thereby. He entered the Con
federate service as a private, but in a

had ceased, and was a <|Wtrt, bo
blown up or destioyed by falling earth
at the explosion of’ the mine, July 30,
1864. In September he was promoted
brigadier-general, and up to the eve
of the surrender he commanded the
brigade, lighting gallantly at Gravelly
run and Namozine church on the re
treat. At Appomattox Court llotise,
on the night Of April 8lh, he was as
signed by General Gordon to the com
mand of Johnson’s division, in which
capacity he reported to Gen. Clement A.
Evans and paiticipated in the last action
of the army on ihe morning ot April
Oth. After his parole he devoted him
self to the practice of the law, the care
of bis plantation and the restoration of
good government in the Stale. He was
one of the few Democrats elected to
the Legislature iu 1872, and was re
elected in 1874 and 1876. In 1877 be
was chosen judge of the Seventh cir
cuit, a position in which he continued
to serve with honor and ability until
1803. when he retired irom public life.
It is safe to say that no man over
sat on the bench io South Curoliua
wbo gave more satisfaction in the ad-
miuisltaiion of bis oflice— and this to
lawyers and luigstils alike. He was
patient, thorough, alert and painstak
ing. Courteous always, he nevertheless
maintained the dignity and entorced
the rule s of the court»on all occasions.

after early breakfast, and was in Jat k;

four roads. It was a daylight trip and
I had opportunity to notice the changes

new route to Florida is a star line
from Atlanta and the West. It in
cludes the Nashville, Chattanooga and

Jacksonville,*ihe prettiest cleanesf and
best regulated city in the South. All
of them first-class roads, with parlor
cars and dining cars and sleepers that
run all the way thro Jgb. They don't
even tarry at Jacksonville, but keep
on and on to the jumping off place, if
you wish to go there. That new ro d

made this speed end comfort possible.*. tioM.ital

For her t7 a week she labors never less

Hie grandfather was

who remold to >oulh Carolina before
the war of tbe revolution, in which he
Was a patriot soldier. General Wallace
was graduated at the South Citroliu*
college in December, 1849, and in the
following spring was married to Sarah,
daughter of Robert Dunlap of New
berry. She was the niece of James
Dunlap, appointed governoi of Florida
by Andrew Jackson, aud granddaugh
ter of William Dunlap, a revolutionary
soldier who was the grandson of Johu
Hunter, a native of Ireland w ho was
United States Senator from South Car
olina in 1801. General Wallace was
occupied as pianter in Union County
until 1857, when he became the pro
prietor of the Union Times newspaper,
and in 1859 began the practice of law
at Union. In 1860 as a member of
the Legislature he supported the call
for & convention, and at the expiration
of bis term he enlisted as a privifte in
Company A, Eighteenth South Carolina
volunteers. A few flays later lj.e was
appointed-adjutant of the regiment by
,Col. James M. Gadberry, who -was
killed at Second Manassas. Before
gfling into the field the regiment was
reorganize !, and Wallace was erected
lieutenant-colonel in May, 1861. The
regiment was ordered into Virginia in
time to engage the enemy near Mal
vern Hill in Augu t, after which it
fought at the battle of Second Manass
as, losing- about half its number iu
batrte, including the gallant Colonel
Gadberry. Wallace was at once pio-
moted colonel, and he led his regiment,
in the bngade of Gen. N. G. Evans,
through the buttles of South Mountain
and Sharpeburg with the army of
Northern Virginia. Subsequently he
was on duty In defense of Charleston.
In the spring of 1864 the brigade under

You never «sw an Irithuian

belWetu 80 and 90 years of age, all
huddled up in his ea-y chair aud bis

the lady, as good as she was beautiful,

‘Faith,’ »a,s old Terence,‘“tis your

“But iu other things tbe Irishman is
as true as steel. If he is your enemy,
keea your eye on him; if ho is your

memory of St. Pitrick, be is a imHlel of
constancy. He. hits been celebrating
it ever,since that go >d man was taken
up into -glory, and w ill continue, 11 •
doubt, to celebrate it until the final

rays ou the pallia* cheek of the dawn,
we hear the stirring strain-.of that air
which for four and twenty hoars will
resound around the globe—‘8t. Pat

“Oh 1 in these days of time-serving
and sycophancy; in these evil hours of
abandonment of principle and servile
worship of power of gold, how glorious
an example of constancy; how noble

grcaier than the entire miuistenal
force of the Presbyterian and the Metho
(list Episcopal denominations in this
country. At the average per capita
cost of living iu America 810,000,000
wohkl be sufficient to tuaiutaiu a city
of more thau 75 t OOO population. It
would pay what would be accounted a
large salary (810,000) to 1,000 meu
and a fairly good annual income lo ten
times that number. It would give
about 3,000 young meu or women a
college education, and allow.each one
of them not Jess than 81,000 besides
for “a start in the world.” Perhaps,
the 810,000,000 in Mr. Carnegie’s
hands will do the world as mulh gbotl
ultimately as though it were divided
up feir some of these purposes, espe
cially hi view of the announced fact
that he proposes to give away the most

Mrs.
Kent
Tiix Ohly Woman Jailer
Evelyn Munh, of Greenwich,
oumy; l.oug Island, is the ouly wo
man in the country who officially oc
cupies the position of jail kee|>er. Mrs.
Muith was born in the building ovei
which she h.is presid'd for the last
twenty years. For more than fifty
years some member of her family has
seived in the p«>»tUou which she now
occupies. She has never been attacked
by a prisoner, and during her long term
of service there have been only two
esc ipes, both of them at the same lime,
before the present modern jail was
completed. Mrs. Smith rarely has
trouble with a prisoner, even those
who are brought into the jail by force
quieting down uu ler her intlueuce.
She declares that no class of people
are quicker to appreciate kind treat
meut and courtesy than criminals, nud
that it is much easier C handle them
with pleasant words than with hand
cuffs and solitary coutinement. Tbe
number of prisoners under Mrs Smith’s
care averages ten. During her temi
porary absence from home her place as
jailor is taken by her daughter, Mrs.
Annie Burdick. ,
