The following account of hie death and sketoh ot his life la taken from the Greenville News of Saturday. Jim dreds of people in this county who knew blm well will concur in the high estimate placed upon his character: Dr. John F. Dorroh died at his resi dence in Rutherford street, this -city, at 8 o'clock yeatorday morning after an ill ness of nearly two months,in his seyonty aeveuth year. His end was very quiet and peaoeful. His fatal lllnoss was cuused by a severe strain of his back and abdomen received on the 28th of March. He had been detained that day at the common pleas court in which he was a witness in the case against the fertilizer company. As ho was driving home, rapidly turning the corner from Kuthoriord street into Buncombe, his buggy struck a rook or fell Into a rut, throwing him violently to one side. He was out again uext day but went homo and ?<> bed and was never out ot bis room again. He diagnosed his caso from the beginning and was suro he would not recover. Dr. Dorroh was born at Friendship, l.aureus county, near the Greenville line, July 27th, 1810. His family is a very prominent, influential and widely con ueoted one In this section of the state.

Saxon, daughter of Joshua Saxon, a prominent oitizen and magistrate of that neighborhood. Dr. Dorroh joined the Bethany Presby terian church in 1840 and was soon attor made an elder.

Hero be became an eldor in tho Wash ington street Presbytorlan church, whioh position he held to tho time of his death. Ho soon built up a very largo ?raotice hero. Ho was always romarka ly successful as a physlciau and was especial I v noted for his tenacity In fight ing lor tho lives of his patleuls. He would nover ooncode that hopo was gono and with his unwoaried enorgy aud patience and the knowledge and skill acquired by long experience and thorough reading he saved many despe rate oaaes. He remained In active prac tice until the beginning oi his last ill ness. ? He was tho father of thirteen children, eight of whom, with their mother, sur vivo him. Ho loaves threo daughters? Mrs. J.

W.U. Martin. Tho flouca Path High School. On last Thursday and Friday oc curred the closing exorcises of the Honoa Path High School, taught by Prof. -Wat kins. On Thursday night an entertain ment was given by the Palladian and Pierian Literary Society. Thera wero readings and recitations by tho young ladies which wero ren dered in a most excellent manner and showed a thorough knowledge of elocution. Four young gontle men debated the question, "Re solved that the North and South should be separated" and the com mittee decided in favor of tho affir mative. The speeches wore all good, of a much higher order than the average of school boy oratory, and some of them revealed an amount of information, forceful expression and ability to reason clearly remarkable in such young men. Friday morning the "Littlo Rose buds," a society of very small girls gave an entertaining exhibition, Uold Medals were presented to several pupils for scholarship, punctuality and deportment. One little girl had a record of being per fect in all studies during the entire session of thirty-eight weeks. The Anniversary address bofore the latently Societies was deliv ered by W. W. Ball. The Honea Path people have a right to be very proud of their school, It is a thoroughly progres sive Institution and Prof. Watkins is doing a valuable and great work In her community. When it comes to describing his own treatment by tho people of Honea Path the writer simply can not do the subject Justice. He was shown every possible attention and made to feel at home from the mo ment of his arrival. The kindness of his friends at Honea Path and the many pleas ant incidents of his visit will long be gratefully loiuembered.?Edi tor.

In an editorial last week com menting on the now famous Lavelle case you say "tho Governor sub mitted the question (of his sanity) to a committee of Experts and learned Aeseulaplans who dif fered as doctors have done afore time" etc. The report of the Special Commission, as 1 remem ber it, (for I have not the flle9 of the daily paper by me) does not justify your stricture upon tho cur rently reported tendency of medi cal men to disagree. The Commis sion was a mixed one, consisting of Doctors Tabor# Mcmminger ^and DeSaussure, and Messrs. McG?han and Tucker. A majority of the doctors as well as tho oxpert witness Dr. Babcock agreed in a report that was less favorable to the prisoner than the minority report filed by tho other two. Independent thinkers will often differ, but when they unite in an honest effort to solve difficult prob lems, affecting public polity, and to assist in tho administration of a justico that shall be un-influenccd by popular clamor or tho efforts of legal obstructionists, give them that credit which is their due. Very respectfully, Hugh K. Atken. Laurens, S. C, May 24, '93. The paragraph of tho Adverti ser referred to was scarcely in tended as a serious reflection on tho doctors although the report does go to prove the adago that they will disagree. The clositig words of Dr. Bab cock's report to the Governor are as follows: "After carefully reviewing all the medical facts of the case my conclusion is that while no one of the symptoms would Justify tho opinion of insanity, yet taken alto gether they present the strongest indications of a diseased brain, probably starting from injury re ceived from a sun stroke." Wo fully concur with Dr. Aikcn in Iiis estimate of tho credit due ''independent thinkers united in an honest effort to solve difficult problems effecting public polity," etc.?Ed.

Mr. Harris, it will bo remem bered was ono of tho Tillmanitc delegates to the National Demo cratic Convention, presumably a Hill man, but, to tho HUrpriso and chagrin of bis associates, he, with Mr. Jervey, of Charleston, voted for Mr. Cleveland. For this net of disloyalty to tho "dominant ele ment" in South Carolina, Mr. Har ris was "black-listed" at Washiug by tiovernor Tlllnian and Senator Irby. Ho was tho man, abovo alh othorg, whom Irby has been fight ing here. The appointment Id regarded by SouthCarolinians hero as the sig nal of SeifatorSutler's success and shows protty clearly how the patronage is going. The appoint ment was predicted several weeks ago In this correspondence. Hen Perry sent the following tel egram this evening to Irby, to whom he does not speak, "Your friend, It, W.

Mrs. Jane Martin is quite sick at this writing. Miss Mattie Owlngs and Claudo Brown visited B. L. Owings last Sunday. Mrs. Whitley, of Abbeville, was In this soction last week visiting rolatlves. Mrs. J. N. Odell is quito sick at this writing. Mrs. Mamio Hill is visiting at Owingsville. Jim.

The remains were Interred at Ce dar Grove. Rev. W. H. Waters preached the funeral sermon to a large and sympathetic audience. Mr. Geo. 11. Jones and Miss Lil lie Westmoreland started to drive out to church last Suuday week, but instead drove several miles around to Rev. W. H. Waters? by whom tho marriago ceremony was performed. A select party of young people enjoyed a picnic at tho Shoals last Saturday. Many supposed mad dogs have been exterminated In this section. In general the gardens are be hind. Wo had our lirst mess of new Irish potatoes on tho 15th and beans on the 21st. Cotton is dying out very much from the cold spring weather, the stands are very defective. Some has been planted over. Several families, who moved from tho farm last fall to tho cotton mills to better their condition, have moved back, and aro wiser but not bettered by their first move. To-day as wo close tho infant child of Mr. Land Bragg is boing carried to Cedar Grove for burial. Its mother preceded itono week. C. Mountvillc, I took a short tramp through tho neighborhood of our sister city Mountvillo a few days ago and found everybody busy, busy. Tho plow, the boo and tho "battling" stick and wash-board all going. Tho good stand of cotton and corn all well tilled. Tho numerous fields of fine looking grain nrivo promise ol an abundant harvest. Forty years ago my lot was cast among tho people around Mount villo and I find tho same energy, thrift, stay at home and attend to your own business, now as then, still wearing "a smilo for those who lovo and a tear for those who hate." I saw one of Mountvilles most popular young men on tho way and ho was a perfect picture of self complacency?had just boon bask ing in tho sunlight of bin "Belin da's" smiles?ho looked as if Daniel Lambert's Linon Duster wouldn't begin to make him a vest pocket. I dont blame him for she is pretty, intelligent and the busy beo "doth improve eaeli shinning hour." Wo aro looking for our College boys and girls homo soon and how proud we aro of their record: There's Jeaao Teague jn.Nashvilie, a "chip of the old block"; John McSwain in Spartanburg, ho is bound to keep climbing till he reaches the top; Carroll Nance in Frskino too much of McGowan? Miller?Nance blood in him to ever keep him down?bo has entered the race to win; Miss Mamie Pitts in the "Winthrop" gives tho most gratifying evidence of tho careful training of that veteran teacher, her father. K, No flowory rhetoric can toll tho merit of Hood's Sarsaparilla as well as tho cures accomplished by this excellent medicine.

Fastest time seems to be the motto of the day in railroad circles of the New South, and the Richmond and Danville, it appears, has reached the climax. Since January, 1891, that company has been operating three (3) through passenger trains between New York, Atlanta and New Orleans, one of these being the justly celebrated "Washington and Southwest ern Vestlbuled Limited," making the run from New York to Atlanta, Ga , a dis tance by its line of 91a, miles in 23 hours, or an average of about forty miles per hour. The great New York and Chica go Limited of the Pennsylvania K. R. makes the run from New York to Chica? go, a distance by its rails of 876, in 2i hours: thus you sec "The Greatest Southern System" (the. R. & D.) is giv ing the "New South" a service that is equel to that of the "Standard Railroad of America" (the Pennsylvania lt. R. ). These fast mall trains make the run from Washington to Atlanta, southbound in eighteen hours and fifty minutes, while the corresponding northbound train, No. 36, leaves Atlanta, at 7130 P. M ,arrives in Washinuton 2.55 P. M. following day, making close connection for Baltimore, Philadelchia, New York and Boston, arriving in Baltimore 4.17 P. M. Philadelphia 6.40 P. M. New York 9.10 P.M. next day and Boston 7.30 A. M. Time to Washington nine teen hours and twentyfive minutes, and to Nfiw York twenty-five hours. The fast time, splendid equipment and magnificent service of the R. & D. is greatly appreciated by the traveling public, as is manifested daily by their very large and constantly increasing passenger travel. The management of the company is in structed to employ men of intelligence and high character?broad and liberal in their view, "strictly business" in their methods and rules of conduct, just and resonable toward all patrons, showing no favoritism, making no promises to be broken, guarnntceing nothing they can not accomplish. Such a system, with such a management, is justly the pride of the people it serves and the section through which it passes. The influence of its progressive policy has become contagious on every mile of its great system and has acted as n stimulating impulse to the energies of the people in every State it touches with the magnet ic power, from Washington on the Po tomac, to it8 western terminus, Green ville, on the Mississippi River.- -The Republic.
