He was Oue of the Leading Civil Law yers of Upper Carolina?Tho Funeral Sunday. Col. Williamson H. Martin of this olty died in Asheville, N. O, Friday afternoon. Col. Martin was one of the leaders of the Laurens bar. He was in his 52nd year. Ho had been in ill health, suffering from a complication of dis eases for the past six months and in February was desperately ill with pneumonia. He also suffered a stroke of paralysis some months ago, but had recovered sufficiently to return to his office. With Mr3. Martin and theJ youngest of his two sons he went to Asheville about a week ago. Col. Martin was a native of Laurens county; a member of an old and promi nent family. In early life ho was a merchant, but about 22 years ago studied law in the ofilce of tho late Col. It. P. Todd, with whom he later formed a partnership, succeeding to the whole practice upon Col. Todd's death. His practice was for the most part confined to the civil side of the courts and he was eminently success ful. He thoroughly mastered his cases and tho justices of the supreme court had a high opinion of his ability. He was never active in politics, though his alignment on the conservative side of public issues was always well known. He was a member of Gov. McSweoney's stall. Since its organization in 18S7 he has been a director of the Poople's Loan and Exchange Bank, one of the largest of the financial institutions here, and his sagacity as an advisor was valuable to It. He was also one of the largest local subscribers in the building of the Laurens Cotton Mills, but had sold his shares in that com pany some time before his death. He was an active figure in other smallor corporations that have aided in tho de velopment of the city and county. Col. Martin's homo in Main street was one of the handsomest in Laurens and a few months before his death he 1 ad greatly Improved It. Hl6 imme diate family consists of his wife and Iwo sons. While his friends bad de spaired of his recovery for some time, his death comes as a great shock, for he has been out down in the fullness of a successful career. The body arrived from Asheville at 2 o'clock Saturday and the funeral took placa Sunday afternoon, brief sorvices being conducted at the grave by Rev. W. S. Holmes of the Episcopal Church, assisted by Rjv. J. D. Pitts of the Bap tist Church. The following were the pall boar rers: Active?W. W. Ball, W. I). Fergu son, J. O. Owens, F. P. McGowan, H. Y.

Martin of Youngs Township, and one sister, Mrs. E. Slt greaves of Laurens. Col. Martin's death Is profoundly mourned by a large number of friends.

What nrmy was tho strongest of its time? .lodging by results, tho Roman nrmy was so from the fifth century lt. O. onward until tho division of the empire. Its lighting organization was as complete as and possibly more prac tical than Ihnt of any army of today. It was based on a territorial system Which maintained the comradeship of locality Without bringing It into an tagonism with that of tho corps, for each of the thirty-five Roman "tribes" was required to furnish to each legion four "centuries" of 120 men, each of which worked together as a local unit. Tho legion was divided Into five co horts or battalions, of which three Were troops of the lino, two were a kind of militia and the fifth was n de pot battalion. For nlmost eight centu ries tho nrmy thus constituted not only conquered tho then Known world, but acted as explorers beyond its limits, and nt tho same time made and un inndo kings and emperors In Rome It self.
