JUDGE ALDRICH'S TRiRUTE T? JUDGE CHAS. G. DANTZLER Below is given the remarks ot Judge Robert Aldricli, on the occasion of the memorial exercises held June 20 In the Linnens court, in Honor of Judge ('lias. (1. Dantzler of Orangeburg. As stated last week, appropriate address es were made by the different me in ?*bc-is of the Laureus Bar and court * officials, including Col. .1. \V, Fer guson, c. C. Fcathorstono, V. 1'. Mc Qowan, H. v. Simpson, R. A. Cooper, lt. E .Babb, .lohn V. Bolt, .lohn M, Cannon and \V. U. Rlcbey, Jr. His Honor Robert Aldricli .presiding judge, said: While l should not have been un prepared to hear of the death ol Judge Dantzler, I was. as a matter ol fact, very much shocked this morning when I was informed that be bad pass ed away. We have all known for some months that he was III, and but recent ly 1 was informed that his illness was Of a fatal character, and yet it is hard to realize thai the career of one who has tilled so large a place in public observation and public useiuluess, has ended. The life and character of Charles 0. Dantzler ought to be written by some one gifted in that line and held up as an object lesson to the youth of South Carolina. 11? I had a son to rear and educate, I do not know a man whose example I would advise him to follow any sooner than I would Judge Dant/.ler's. When I was much younger than I am now, at the beginning of my pro fessional life, like most young men and young lawyers 1 worshiped at the Shrine of intellect. 1 tried to pattern my life after the grent orators and the y brilliant jurists and the profound judges of the world. 1 have lived long enough to know that that is a mistake. The men who reap the richest rewards and enjoy the highest happiness, are men of modorate endownmonts, but who are true to themselves and de velop themselves to the highest ot their capacity. Such a man was ('has. G. Dantzler. He was a man of decided ability, in my Judgment, of the very highest order of ability. He bad the ability to do right at all times and under all circumstances -to think right, to act right, and to walk up rightly in all the relations of life. The consequence was that be com manded the respect and the confidence of those who knew him host, and when ? was known that the .Tudgo of the First Circuit, about eight years ago. wouKl not stand for ic-oloction, Judge Dantzler was the unanimous choice of the Bar of thai circuit. And thai is al! that the legislature wanted to .know, lie could have been elected iiv the legislature without the endorse ment of the Bar, but when those in the general assembly who had a pref erence for him learned also that be was endorsed by the entile liar of the 1 First Circuit be passed into office without opposition. And it was not long before we all saw that no mis take had been made. .ludge Dantzler and myself lived in adjoining counties, and we practiced I together to some extent, sometimes on the same side, sometimes on oppo site sides, and I do not think I ever saw a truer mind than his a mind I capable of reasoning correctly from premises to conclusion. And. while mctapliasiclans may not agree with me I believe that his ability to reason (correctly is explained by the fact that he always tried to reason rightly. I It is very gratifying to me. ami will i be to the lawyers in our part of the Stale, and to the bar of Orangebtirg and to his family, to know that at this I distance from bis borne he was so highly valued and so much appreei ? ated. Von are making no mistake, breth ren, to think well of your judiciary while they live, ami the consciousness that they will receive your meed of praise when they are gone, if they deserve it, strengthens their arms and holds up their hands in their efforts to serve you and to serve their people. None of us can stay here long, but all I of us can act rightly, to the best of our human ability, what time we do I slay here, and the knowledge that we j will be appreciated by those whose I good opinions we value, is very com forting and very sustaining. I will order the preamble mid reso lutions spread upon the journal of the court, that a copy of them be en grossed and forwarded by the clerk to the family of Judge Dantzler. and that they he published, together with, the remarks on this occasion, in the papers of f..aureus county, and of Co lumbia and Charleston, and that in honor of the memory of the Hon. Charles (',. Dantzler. deceased, that this court be adjourned sine die. CA 1.1/ TO KKD SINKT MUX. Alllllinl Reunion ?III he Held In Spar tunburg August 17-18. Pondleton, s. C, Juno 21, 1910.

Owners have t?U days after purchase, in which to register their machines. The fee is one dollar. There has been so much said of Into about the supervisor of Lexington county not working lite proposed au tomobile highway, which runs through the Dutch Fork section of this county. Supervisor Langford was asked when he hoped to begin work on the road. 1 "It is my intention now to begin work on the Columbia and Newberry road, starting at Broad river bridge and continuing until the road in fin ished to the Newberry line, l will base a good force of bands, at least M more than I had when the gang was in the Kork bist year. 1 also have six mote mule:, than last year, ami it Cttll readily be seen that I will push the work on this new highway rapid ly. .lust say to the papers that 'Old Louis' is going to give those people a gOOd road, one that wli lie a credit to tiie county." Figures secured by the department of agriculture from the county clerks of court Indicate that the automobile and good roads go hand-iu-huml. The department recently addressed circu lar letters to the county supervisors calling for information as to the Im proved highways in each county. Sev eral days ago a letter was sent to the clerks of court asking for information as to the number of motor vehicles registered in o?;ch county of the Slato. "Step, I.(ink and Listen." i From the Washington Star.) Podestrnins are slowly hut steadily learning the lesson thai before they step oft the curb they must "stop, look and listen," in accordance with the old fundamental doctrine of law gov erning the responsibility of individuals : when approaching a potential source of danger such as a railroad crossing. It should not be necessary for the motorist to sound a horn to let any body know of his presence in the neighborhood. Of course occasionally conditions develop when such a warn ing is required, such as when a car suddenly conies out from behind a screen of other vehicles, and Which it is overtaking, or at some congest ed crossings. Yet with everybody toot ing at once the value of the warning of each horn is dimishcd. Unless some check is put upon tie volume or character of the sound pro duced by the auto horns pandemonium wiii quickly ensue. There is now a large premium awaiting the man who can invent some new form of shocker, SCreecher, howler or other arrester ot attention, and at the |ircsonl rate ol progress our streets will soon be a bedlam of hideous sounds, with pedes trians more confused and in greater danger than ever unless limy rely Structly upon the eyes ami place no faith whatever in their ears for their protect ion. In number of automobiles in use Charleston leads the State with 27!). Greenville comes second with 222, It is expected that Itichland county will show at least 250. .\ significant feature of the report is that it is shown that the largest number of automobiles are to be found in the counties having the most miles of improved highways. In substantiation of this statement, it is found thai the county having the least number oLmlles of good roads has on ly four automobile:;. Laurens has three garages and auto dealers. \V.
