requiring the director of the census
to make periodical reports as
to the amount of cotton held by
spinners and dealers, and in warehouses,
etc., together with the number
of spindles in operation. The
resolution contemplates that these re>
ports shall be made on the same days
' as the reports as to ginning, condition
of the crop, acreage, etc., and
tire object is to provide the cotton
growers with information as to the
supply on hand and the probable
consumption, so that they may gov-,
em their operations accordingly.
(These statistics, it is believed, will be
of as much value to the farmers as
the statistics nowT given as to ginning,
acreage and condition, are valuable
to the manufacturers.
Mr. Lever has talked the matter
over with the director of the census
(and with a number of the house
leaders and has secured their endorsement
of his plan, and it will
quite likely be put into effect.

His Career.
Henry Jasper Brabham was boi
at Buford's Bridge, September
1843; he was the son of Josis
J. Brabham, a prominent figure in o
Barnwell county for many year
When fifteen years of age, the h
had attained enough common scho
education to enter a military scho
at Aiken. Here he went for tv
years, then afterwards he attend(
Cokesbury School for one year. Th
constituted his education as far ;
the school room was concerned, bi
beingva constant reader and studei
of books, as well as of current even
and affairs, he was one of the be
informed men in the community. I
was especially fond of and well a
auainted with historical matters. H
range of reading was quite comp'r
hensive, and his quiet talking on s
most any subject of ordinary inte
est was always interesting.

* | record shows that he entered the ar- ;
* j my at the outbreak of the war and i
* | remained on the firing line until Lee \
x j surrendered at Appomattox. His <
* j name appears on the rolls of the c
* [Southern Historical Society at Rich- 1
* j mond as having surrendered with i
* j his company; he was a member of t
* Company C, being second sergeant; <
* j Col. Johnson Hagood was the head j
* j of his regiment, which was the First 1
* | South Carolina Volunteers; this regi- t
* j ment was in Britton's Brigade. His <
* ; intense loyalty and devotion to the (
* | South and his comrades has been evi- (
* I denced time and again. In times of 1
* | business, when it might seem that i
* i he would have no time for conversa- (
* tion on matters other than business, i
* he would greet an old Confederate
* and go over the hard times together, t
* And yet he never forced the subject ]
* on any one. He was a good listen- 1
* er as well as talker. And it is re- i
* garded by many as more of a virtue i
* to possess that attainment than to s
* be a good talker. In connection ]
* with his Confederate service, he 1
* bought a handsome Confederate me- 1
* morial souvenir during the past 1
* year, to be given to all of the old 1
* veterans especially. This he termed j
* his first expenditure of any of the 1
* bank's money for sentiment. The i
* truth of this statement was known
* to those associated with him, for out
* of the numerous calls for help, for (
* contributions, and donations, he was K
* the one who gave and it was from
* his own personal funds, he taking
* the position that the bank's money ^
*\ was not for such purposes. The Con- (
? federate memorial was in reality an 1
in advertisement of the bank and not 1
re a mere sentimental expenditure as he ,
id said.
Business Career. <
Q' In October, 1865, following soon ]
^ after the plose of the war, he came ]
to Bamberg and began what proved
r' to be a life-long citizenship here., <
e' Entering the mercantile business, he 1
iy
* passed through the stormy times of j
1873 and the carpet-bagger times of <
5r 1876 successfully, and when he sold ;
g
' out his business in 1887 to enter an- 1
rother
line of business, he had accuQ~
mulated a comfortable living. The 1
successes of his mercantile career are <
well known to the older citizens of j <
iy' /
! the town, as well as of the neighbor- .
a" | ing country for miles around. Bam- i
berg was a mere village when he :
a" began and he was a pioneer in the 1
IS
community. At the time of his death i
re
^ he had been living here longer than 1
any other citizen and while some <
few are older in years as to age, they :
1 came here later. And in all that i
time, this man was a worker, a build- ]
ce i
^ ! er, a helper and no man has ever 1
| lived here or died here who will be i
! missed quite so much as he. His <
g- +
j business career has been one of con- ;
tinued success, but it was a success ;
g- '
, . I which came to a man who worked ]
.d for u- 1
^ In 1886 when Captain Isaac Bam- ]
berg was elected State Treasurer and !
ig
the private banking business which 1
^ he had conducted was discontinued, !
ir
H. J. Brabham took steps to organ- !
ize a State bank, and in January, ;
es _
1887, the doors of the Bamberg i
15
Banking Company were opened with
j Mr. Brabham as cashier and General 1
Francis Marion Bamberg, that other ]
splendid man, as president. Mr.
Brabham gave up his mercantile j
business at a great sacrifice to him- 1

sen uuauuan; jlvi uv iiwu vwa
a mere pittance as a salary for years.
He refused to let the directors increase
his salary time and time
3, again, and even during the time of
ih his greatest activity, he would not
Id consent for the expenses of the ins.
stitution to be increased by adding
id to his salary. He held the position
ol of cashier until Gen. Bamberg reol
tired from the presidency in 1898.
>'0 at which time he was elected to that
id | position. He labored faithfully in
is | that capacity until his death, his resas
j ignation having taken effect only one
nt I day before his death. The very tent
j nacity with which he held on to his
ts - work is the best illustration of the
St | maomitaoie win power ana uuiirms
le , energy and never failing zeal which
c- 1 seemed to possess his every faculty,
is | .Many times has he been seen to exe
| ert himself in some manner surprisil
! ing to those most intimate with him.
r-1 Even during the year just closed,
| when his health had begun to fail so
i rapidly and when night after night
id he would be sick with intense pain,
3h he would make his way to his office 1
:md there with that wonderful power
svhich he had for analyzing a set of
igures, whether a statement of a
corporation or of an individual, he
could grasp a situation in such a
nanner as to bewilder many men in
sound health and strength.
And it was in this office that he
'evealed his many sterling traits of
character as friend, adviser, business
nan and withal Christian virtues. A
nan who can realize his duty to
nners wxio are irusuxxg xxxxxx wxtxi
:heir all, perhaps, and who can so
ise and protect it that when twentvive
years have passed, they have no
^omplaint to make, but on the oth?r
hand all confidence and faith
=trengthened, that man has labored
veil and deserves to be known as a
rue man and worthy of emulation.
Uany heart aches came to this man
n his office, many times when he ap)eaied
to be hard hearted and too
exacting, and yet what he asked of
>ne he asked of all, he made no diferences
between the well-to-do and
)oor. And not only did he require
:hese things of others, but he was
?ven more particular to see that he
ipplied the same rule to himself.
What he preached to others, he prac;iced
himself, in business as well as
5ther things. He did not lend a
lollar as if he were dealing with a
lishonest man, he required his
'ripndc to rprne-nize the fact that he
vas acting for others and that his
pffice was somewhat of a public trust
md therefore to be treated as such.
Perhaps it is as a business man
:hat he will be remembered by most
people, but if he applied his keen
business judgment to affairs of busiless,
he also applied it to building
jp his town, county and State. For
several terms he served as alderman
and mayor of the town, these
peing the only kind of public offices
to which he ever aspired. In fact
fie had a great aversion to anything
which smacked of political honors
for himself. He did not hesitate to
:ake a stand on any matter involving
principle.
His Service in Other Ways. .
In 1892 a movement was begun
to establish a high school for the
lower part of South Carolina, to be
inder the jurisdiction of the Methoiist
Episcopal Church, South, and to
be a preparatory school for Wofford
College. Quite a fight was made for
the school by several other towns in
the State, some much larger than
Bamberg. Through the hard work
pf several citizens of this town, chief
? TT T Tt.nk
Of wnom was neury jasper ciauham,
the school was established
here. His relation to this school is
a splendid illustration of his spirit
of fidelity and loyalty to home enterprises
and undertakings. Year
after year he looked after the property,
keeping it in good condition
and beautifying the grounds with
trees, evergreens and shrubbery.
Word after word he spoke, and letter
after letter he wrote in the interest
of this school and his love in the
ioing of it was his greatest reward.
Het-served for years as trustee of the
school, being secretary and treasurer
of the board, and chairman of the
local board of control during almost
its entire history. Perhaps it was
the untiring service which he reniered
Wofford College through this
school that prompted the trustees
of that college to invite him to take a
place on their board, bu he declined
this out of his very love for home
and not desiring anything that would
3all him away even for a few days at
a time. He loved Wofford, however,
and was always ready to do anything
possible to help her, And he was
not forgotten by that great man, the
late Dr. Carlisle or his successor, Dr.
Snyder, for each time when they
would meet the writer and inquire of
Bamberg and the Carlisle Fitting
School, the next question would jbe
about H. J. Brabham, the friend of
the school a,nd of Wofford.
The figure of a medium-sized man,
1 * ? - ? J J ? ? * 4- Vk si fx r? ?v?
svorKing ana aiggmg auuui iuc campus
of the Fitting School was a familiar
sight for many years, and
now that he is gone from among us,
tie will be missed there as elsewhere,
for there are very few yards in this
community that are pretty with flowjrs
or evergreen that he did not touch
in one way or another. He was a
3tudent of flowers, and a devoted
friend of roses. This was but another
evidence of his strong character.
He was a true lover of those
two beautiful objects, children and
flowers, and so often he was associated
with them together. A child?
a flower?and H. J. Brabham! Tt
seems to me that it would please him
to be thus associated in the minds
af the little folks who are growing
Lip. Many times have you seen him
thus, and perhaps it was hard for
rou to reconcile this man of business
? :j.u iu:. rxinfnvn 13,it nViilrl aftpr

:hild knew the way to his garden of
roses. It was here that he spent
many hours and he knew flowers as
io other person in Bamberg knows
them. He knew them by name, both
flowers and children, and he was into
the secrets of both, as a sympathizer,
instructor, and as a friend.
He regarded the rose as his friend of
friends, but the child with the finger
I
bleeding from the prick of the rose
thorn was his dearer friend. He
loved all nature, and his large and
beautiful home yard and the years
he spent with the nursery, attest this
fact. The yard in which he loved to
work, especially on holidays, with
the adjoining park with the artificial
pond, beautiful with lillies and
alive with fish, the entire place, all
speak of his untiring love for these
things. And he had the great joy
of a helpful helpmeet through all the
forty-three years of married life, and
she entered into all the beautiful
plans with him and his home life
was a great help and inspiration to
any who ever entered therein.
His Church Work.
This man was with all his work in
outside enterprises, and extremely
busy lire, a raitrui ana loyai memoer
of Trinity Methodist church. He was
never so busy as to neglect his Master's
cause, and his was an illustration
of a Christian carrying his religion
into his weekday life and using
it for the glory of God. He was
a steward of this church for many
years, being chairman of board as
well as chairman of the board of
trustees of the church. He was
chairman of the building committee
which erected the handsome house of
worship now in use. He was a liberal
supporter of every form of
church wrork and no one ever called
on him in a worthy cause who went
away empty. He was without a
doubt the most liberal man who has
ever lived in Bamberg. Charity was
love with him and it took expression
in many varied ways whether the
tramp from the road, the child in distress,
or aiding in building a church,
a school, a railroad, or what not, as.
far as his means permitted, he gave
freely and gladly. His religion was
a great comfort to him. Only a short
while before his death, he remarked
to a friend that he knew his time
t
was not much longer and said that
he was entirely ready to go.
It was always a pleasure to him
to have the visiting ministers in the
town stop at his house. He enjoyed
the social intercourse of these men
of God, and he was ever ready to
make them feel that his house was
their home.
His Work for the County.
Mr. Brabham was one of the
prime movers in the formation of
Bamberg county and in having the
county seat located here. He was
chairman of the committee for the
creation of the county and also of
the building committee for the court
house and jail. This was in 1896.
In 1902 he was the county commissioner
for this county for the Charleston
and West Indian Exposition.
He was the originator of the movement
to erect the handsome Confederate
monument in Bamberg. He labored
faithfully in this cause and
later the matter was taken up by
the United Daughters of Confederacy
and carried to completion.
He took active interest in the
movement for a new railroad fronf
Bamberg to the lower edge of the
rnnntv and was alwavs interested to
the time of his death in the progress
being made in that work. In
fact he was always ready to encourage
what he believed meant the development
of the town, county and
State. He worked before hand when
a meeting was to be held, so that the
preliminaries would be settled, and
so that the project would go forward.
He was not a castle builder
or a dreamer of day dreams. He
looked at things from a business
point of view when they came before
him.
The Funeral.
And now the last sad rites have
been said, and he is dead. He sleeps
in the cemetery in which he worked
many days, helping to make the
place beautiful. Trees and evergreen
here abound, and his was the
hand which planted most of them and
so often cared for them. He was
one of the prime movers in locating
this burying ground, and it was his
wish that the place might be a beautiful
park and cemetery where loved
ones might come and think of their
loved ones who have passed on. And
now he rests there. The funeral was
held Wednesday morning at 11
o'clock, and he rests in lot number
one, thusMn his last resting place
still being the first citizen of Bamberg.
The funeral services were held at
the residence, being conducted by
Rev. W. H. Hodges of Trinity Methodist
church. After the service, the
...
casket was borne througn nis Deauuful
yard and from thence conveyed
to the last resting place of the body,
the following being pall bearers:
Honorary, Aaron Rice, J. A. Byrd, J.
B. Black, W. A. Riley, J. D. Cfopeland,
A. McB. Speaks, D. F. Hooton;
active, E. C. Hays, H. F. Bamberg,
G. A. Jennings, A. W. Knight, John
H. Cope, G. Moye Dickinson, W. D.
Rhoad, H. H. Stokes.
The floral tributes were many and
exceedingly pretty, many handsome
pieces being placed there by friends,
loved ones and organizations. His
body rests amid flowers, as he lived
so long among them, and it is his
will that it is so.
Mr. Brabham was married September
3, 1868, to Adelle J. Jennings.
They had four children, all
of whom with their mother survive
him, these being Otis Brabham, of
Allendale, Henry J. Jr., of Bamberg,
Vernon, of Cope, and Mrs. LeRoy
Wilson, Jr., of Allendale. In addition
to the immediate family of Mr.
Brabham, he leaves three brothers,
C. R., and W. M. Brabham, of Bamberg,
Charles H.. Brabham, of Olar,
o-nrl cieforo ITrc Tnlio A Rrah

to these there are many other relatives,
nephews, nieces and coun&ins.
