Death of Dr. John F. Dor roh.
Dr. John F. Dor rob was a native of
Lauren? and throughout his long lifo
wo? closely connected with the county
and Its people.
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.
He was educated in the country schools
?which were then of a very high order
?and at Laurenn. lie studied mediolno
at the Jefferson Medical (Jollogo of Phil
adelphia and graduated lit 1830. I I e re
turned to Laurons and began tho practice
of medloine there at Byrd's Cross Roads,
eleven miles boldw the court house.?
May 22d, 1815 he married Miss Mary E.
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. Ho was a successful
pbysioian and farmer until the begin
ning of the war when he volunteered in
the Confederate service. Ho served as
surgoon to the end and then returned to
Laurens where he immediately resumed
the practice of his prolesslon.
In 1873 be removed to Greouvllle.
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. D. Sheldon, of Westminister;
Mrs. Edward Earle. of this county, and
Miss Sallle L. Dorroh, or this city?and
live sons?Charles F. Dorroh, of this
city; W. C. Dorroh, of Birmingham;
John F. Dorroh and Alfred Dorroh, of
?Savnnnab, and Lewis, who has boon at
tending tho Mouth Carolina college. All
tho members or his immediate family
wuro with him at the time or his death
except Mrs, Sheldon. She had been
here almost constantly, but had return

her rather to bo better.
The body will bo buried to-day at
Spring wood Cometory at 11 o'clock. In
obedience to Dr. Dorroh's request the
only services will bo thoso at tue grave.
There will be no funeral exorcises at tho
residence or church.
The nows of Dr. Dorroh's death will
be recoived with gouoral and doop re
grot. Tnn>u),h all his long lifo ho was
a good and useful citizen, an ablo phy
sician^ kindly neighbor and devoted and
untiring in his altert um lor his land 1 y.
He was a man of strong convictions and
clear ideas?cast In tho good old Ameri
can mould. Illght was right and wrong
was wrong with him; a good man was
good and to bo respoctod and helped,
and a bad man was bad and to be detest
ed and avoldod, and ho know no com
promise. His voice and example woro
always strongly and cloarly for what ho
belioyed right and against what he be
lieved to bo Wrong. Ho was alwaj's
scrupulous in his intogrity, and in his
death ho iris loft grlof in tho hoarts or
many friends and an honored name to
his children.

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

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

Tho Doctors and Lavelle.
To Editor of Advertiser:.
? 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.

Washington. May 27.?Special.
?Governor pllman's black-list
was shattered all to pieces to-day
by the appointmont of Robert W.
Harris as postmaster at Union.
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. Harris, was
appointed postmaster at Union to
day. Come on and assist me."
Irby is fighting Perry as hard as
he fought Harris,
The Internal Rovonuo Collet*1 ?r

was not appointed until that date,
being one of the last collectors to
be appointed in tho South.?The

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

lya aud Tuesday,
The Great Fast Mail.
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.
