On Saturday, July 10th, 1002, the committee of the Laurens Bar Associa tion, appointed to draft rosolutlons In memory of Ms Into President. Col. 13. W. Call, inai!o its report to Court. The committee consisted of Messrs. J. W. Fergu on, H. Y. Simpson and Lewis W. si ml; ins. in absenco of the obair man, Col. J. W. Ferguson, on account of siekness, Col. Simpson submlttod the following resolutions in moat appropri ate remarks, which were adopted: Whkukas, the Great Law Maker of the Universe has summoned Col. B. W. Ball from his duties below to those that await him above, "And wiieueas, by his success in the profession of his choice, founded upon tho mastery of its principles, and his famillarl'y with all cognate branohes of knowledge which he skillfully used and made subservient,ne placed himself at the head of the Laurens Bar. "And whereas, In ethics ho was an exemplar for his brethren, and by his affable intercourse, pleasing addrose, engaging demeacor, and courteous in torchnngo of thought and opinion, he lifted tho practice of his profession be yond personalities and beyond tho reach of tho pettifogger. * ?Therefore bo it resolved 1st: That in tho death of Col. B. W. Ball tho Bar of Laurens has lost tho honored President of its Association and one of its most eminent inombors. "2nd: That we will cherish his mem ory and strive to omuiate his example. "3rd: That our hearts go out aud mingle In the sorrows of his family in their great afllictlon. "?Uh: That tho foregoing preamble and resolutions be spread upon the minutes of the Court, and that ?im Clerk send a copy to tho family of our deceased brother." The resolu'lons wore seconded by un usually hearty and graceful tributes on tho part of Messrs. Simkins, McGowan, Fcatherstono, Barksdale, Martin, Dial, Todd, ltlchoy, Babb, Cooper and Knight of tho local Bar and of Mi'. J. B. Park, late of Laurens, now of the Greenwood Bar. They recounted with natural pride the public career of the deceased as a citizen, soldier, lawyer and legis lator, and how he ever "with loyal heart, and tho purest hands discharged evory public t'ust." How in the practice of tho law, he had the highest ideals. His chief object was to enforce tho right and remedy the wrong, the matter of making money out ot it be ing a secondary consideration, and the present commercial tendency in the profession being abhorrent to his taste and principles. They recalled most feelingly his private virtues and graces. Each gratefully bore testi mony to some loving service done; and tho younger members of the Bar es pecially heartily adverted to his cor? dial reception of them on coming to the Bar and of his ever ready help af terwards. Bis broad sympathy, his love for mankind,was dwelt upon as his distinguishing characteristic, and if Drummond has'logically proved that lovo is tho greatest thing in the world, thon was the deceased eminently en dowed with true greatness. From the character of this lawyer and gentle man of tho old school (how few alas remain!) were drawn lessons most need ful for tho now generation of. lawyers. Judge Watts spoke very feelingly to tho resolutions and gave many per sonal incidents moat characteristic of tho sound hoad and heart of the de ceased, with whom he was long inti mate as a kinsman, neighbor, legal preceptor, partner and friend. Ho then ordered the Clerk to inscribe the re solutions In tho minute book of tho Court and to dedicate a page thereof to the memory of the deceased; and tho Sherill', out of respect to his mem ory to announco the Court adjourned. _S.
