B&LES SPENCER Mc CALL : f??uy 1 td? Soldier-Merchant-Banker- 1 ]? Farmer-Statesman-Publio Bonefaotor Closes His Life Work. 1 IN ever have wc beforo been called upon to chronicle so sad and de plorable au event as that which has cast over our town and county and oven our state a cloud of sorrow, in thc sudden death on Saturday morn ing December 31st, 1904, of Hon. CHAS. S. MCCALL, nt his home.on Darlington street formerly known as tho Dr. Julius Jennings residence at half-past 7 o'clock. He had been sick ior a week before, but was con valescing so rapidly, that he expres sed his intention early that morning of going down to his store beforo noon. Calling his faithful nurse, he gave orders for an oyster soup for his breakfast, saying that he would take a little nap before rising, and, alas, it was to the sleep of death. The news of his death was a shock to the entire town. There wus a choked feeling of "hush," as one after another passed the word. A gloom of sadness settled over the town. Stores and business houses closed their doors and "the mourn ers went about the streets." It will take days, even months for us to realize that he is dead, and that we shall never more see him in his ac customed place of business or hear his voice again in words of cheer or counsel. ! Although near 62 years of age, he was in good health up to a few days before his death, when ho re turned from the long trip to tho cotton growers convention down in Shreveport, La., during that severe spell of weather the week before Christmas. But God, in His wis dom, has seen lit to call him from earth to heaven, and we bow in humble submission to His will. An aged mother, two brothers and four sisters survive him. He was a member of the lamous Hampton Legion, and served to thc close of thc war, making a record that was au honor to himself and lamil)*. This in a measure accounts for his great interest :n tho Hamp ton monument, an?' of his death was chain rte commission. He was promii cd with every moven to tho upbuilding of nd state. At thc tim he was state senator, * an, commander of Can sec retary and treasure ion of the old C. F. & Ti ; town as thc S. C.

His modesty was a ? 1 Iii merit. Truth was his ir r. His heart beal with . n stness. Ile was us hone: n, and it grieved him things went wrong art where you will in this ou will lind monument his lib erality and cul A LJ .vas the first banker Marlboro ever had, and the first to write Insurance. As u fanner he was a grand suc cess, as all his farms attest. Perfect drainage and diversified crops were his plans for success. Most of his finns arc self-sustained. Ile planted full crops of corn, and planned for '250 lbs. of pork to each plow hand. Besides these he raised bountiful crops of peas, potatoes, .syrup, tur nips and cabbage, for farm use and the town trade. All of his farms were supplied with pumps, and two ol' them with artesian wells. Not many knew that ho had also started a large cattle farm or ranche on one of ibo finest ranges in the county supplied with good water and fine pasturage. On this ranche he had also started a game preserve, where wild turkeys, deer, quail, pheasants and other game, could multiply in abundance. He too was a friend lo tho poor and helpless-even the birds found a friend in this noble hearted man, for when thc weather was very severe and tho ground covered willi snow sh niling oil' their supplies of food, he would send men out with rakes and bags of grain to pr?vido them with sustcnanrc. Shelter and food was richly provided on all his farms for every living thing. His lile was a beautiful one, always willing and reiuly to contribute his part Lo making mankind belier. His home life was a model in his devotion to his aged mother, brothers and nophews. The quiet, unoalontatious life of tho jood man may not ho chronicled and ^netted while he discharges his daily loins, hut it is sure to he felt and ippreciated hy those among whom it s spent. Tho lives of such men teach ?y example, day in and day out, and Iraw men lo them because in them nen see a sincerity and nu honesty hat never fails and that no tempts iou can shake. Tho wicked respect nd tho righteous love such a man. Cvery home and every heart is open J him. His kind words and his good ceds fall upon willing ears and touch 2spoiiB?vo hearts because of llio meek nd gonllo spirit with which they are poken and performer.

' Mr. Editor-About the year 1840, there liverl ^man near my home Lhat waa. ,\,.wL?oi'?unate as to get a fall and break some of his ribs. When he lound ''he could not make it," he set up and sung these words : "O bless the Lord, I can rise and tell the wonders of Emanuel.'" Then the old man would grunt um ph ! Then he would sing again. Well, now, if I had not fallen today perhaps I never would have remembered the man who got his ribs broken. I was out cutting today on a tree that had fallen across my fence about live feet from the ground. I thought that I would step off of the tree on the top rail of the fence, not knowing that it was broken by the fall of the tree, an t down I went to the ground in the fence corner with axe in hand and it very sharp. I did not get cut with it, but, by the fall I got hurt as I thought on the spur of the moment, but I grunted awhile and rubbed the bruised parts and then found out that I was not so seriously I hurt. I then sorter raised up and looked around to see if any one was looking at me and laugh ing. I lay down again and rub bed some more ami then I hap pened to think of the man who fell and broke his ribs and the words lie sung, and i urst forth in laughter, then picked up my [ixe and went to cutting again, glad enough that 1 was not hurt ?mymore. So some time 1 will some to town and call and sing the old man's tune for you, pay my subscription and go home. JOBI. COVINGTON. Hebron, January (5. 1005, Reducing The Acreage.
