THOMAS C- LAW. It in our sad duty to chronicle the decease at bis residence in Hartsville Inst Sabbath evening, the 4th inst, of Col. Thomas C. Law, aged 77 years. There has been re moved another of the old land* marks of oar county. Born upon her soil, roared in her bosom, and spending the wbol e of his long, and useful life within her bordeis he has been closely identified and prominently associated with the development and progress ot Dar lington for two generations past. OoL Law was born December 23, 1811, at the old family home, four miles above this plaoe, afterwa. ds owned by bis brother, the late Wil liam Law, and now the residence of bis nephew, Wm A. Law. His father died when he was an infant aine months old, and thus the care of bis widowed mother and himself fell upon the shoulders of his eldest brother mentioned above, whom he always loved and cherished as a father. His early edneation was •nob as the poorly equipped coun try schools of that day afforded ; but whoa about grown,ho spent two years at the lUea Greek Springs Military Academy in Bichland Coanty. la early manhood he entered upon mercantile parsnita In the village ef Darlington; bat after a tew yeers swperienee retired from this busi ness and devoted himself hence forth, to the end of his days, to plaatiag. la 1843 he settled upon that elegant plantation, at Harts- viUe, sinoe identified with his asms, and* well known over the eeanty for Its greet beanty, fine ealtnre and high productiveness. OoL. Law waa a typical Sonthern planter of the old school which no longer baea plaoe amongst ns. Inher- Mag a Mather ot slavea he never en* tiled the slave market either to bay re eed, but accepted thoee who fell te hie lot, as a responsible trust, to ha cared for and used for tbeir own as well as their master’s benefit. Henoe his tlaves were ever well fed, well clothed and well boosed, and tenderly looked after in ebildhood, sick doss and old age, being always treated as members of the house hold. And thus affootionate and tender ties were developed under tbeir domestic relations. As a strik ing proof of this, when the North ern invading army overran bis home in 1865, and for days be him self had to lie concealed in the swamp, one ot bis trusted servants carried him toed every day through the midst of the enemy, others faithfully stood by and protected as for as they were able, bis wife and daughters at borne; and when the invaders had passed by, not one slave had left, bat all returned to their places and promptly re sumed their nsnal work And these same former slaves have constant ly oome to him in his old age seek ing to testify tbeir continued affec tion and respect, and gathered in large numbers to attend his burial. tinder this condition of things. Col. Law, in the vigor of early life, applied himself intelligently, prac tically and successfully to his cbos. en avocation of planting’- And bis careful experiment*, his wise prac tice and his intelligent observations often reported to the Darliugtou Agricultural Society, of which he was for perhaps fltty years a zeal ous member, did much to promote the interests of agriculture among his fellow planters. Aud even un der the new regime succeediug the war, be had the enterprise aud practical wisdom to adapt himself to the obauged condition of things, aud was recognized as a most sue- oeaafnl planter to the last. „ In his domestic life Col. Law was peculiarly blessed. In 1836 be wm happily married to Hiss Mary W. Hart, daughter of Oapt. Thos. B. Hart, for whom Harfeville wm named; and the sweet and tender relation then constituted wm die* solved by his death Ust Snoday, after mope than fifty-two yean ot joyful cootinnance. Of this anion there were born fourteen children, five sons snd uine daughters, four of whom died in infaucy, another, a son, near maturity, and a daugh ter, Mrs. J. P. Green, a few years since; while eight still survive. Be sides tbeir own childien, Col. and Mrs. Law Lave- )lad at different times the care and rearing for years of two sets of nieces, who left moth erles , were thrown upon their pa rental hands. Aud as ]be honored aud revered head of bis house, he ordeied bis aft-iirs with discretion. His home was the abode of comfort, piety, peace and order, aud was distinguished for a hospitality ever generous, wholesouled and exten sive. Frequently, as tveu up to last summer, bis large residence was for months at a time filled to oveiflowing with relatives and friends, who loved to visit them and who always met a cordial wols come aud a bountiful hospitality. Col. Law was a public spirited loyal citizen, who always took a lively interest and an active part in the affaits of the State and the Coooty. He never held an office of emolument, but in the dsys before the war long served on the Boards of Public Roads, Free Schools, Ac., which services, though altogether gratuitous, be performed with as much energy and fidelity m if he had beeu well paid for them. In early life be developed a great fondness for the military, aud be ginning with tbe “Darlington Whigs,” tbe Nullification company ot 1832, he continued in the militia service until be attained tbe rank of Colonel of the 29th Regimeut, S. C. M., which office he filled with pride and efficiency for many years and then retired. Bat GoL Law lived not cbietly for this world. Descended through bis father of sturdy Scotch-Irish stock, and through hie mother, a DnBose,of French Huguenot blood, he wm trained from infancy in tbe strict school of Presbyterian piety, and in 1832, when he had jnst ats tained maturity, be professed bis faith in Christ and onited with the Presbyterian Obnroh of this town. Of this ebareh be con tinned an earnest and consistent member nn- til tbe organization in 1867,'near his home, of Center Point Cbnrch of which he wm madee Ruling Elder. In this little organization, chiefly the frnit of his own efforts sod largely of his own family, be ever maintained a deep and.lively interest With regard t» it he well exemplified t the beautiful .words of a sweet old hymn: i’y . “For h<r m; tenn (knit fnll. For k«r m; prn;on nneend, To ktr my onroa and toil* bo «l?an, Till enrea and toila akall and." Col. Law has always been of deleeat e frame and often suffered from ill health. But by constant care of himself and u temperate systematic prudent life, he was remaikably well preserved for one of his age, and possessed the fall ase of his faenlties nearly to the end. Bat last Jane owing to great feebleness, he met with a severe fall, which while no bones were broken, shocked his system and induced greater feebleness. In September be bad something like congestion of the brain, which well nigh carried him off. But by care ful medical attention and tender nursing, he rallied in a measure from this attact. Last week, bows ever, this trouble returned, and he was again prostrated, audafterhing for a few days in great prostration, hot most of the time unconscious, about five and a half o’clock Sun day evening, bis spirit left tbe laxly and winged its flight to God who gave it. Ail his surviving cbiMrcn had gatbeied around him during this last illness, and wife, daughters aud sons tenderly and lovingly ministered an o him till lif ) ended He was buried at Center Point Chnrcti on Tuesday last, tae Rev. Dr. Edmunds, of Sumter, long his pastor and a loved and loving friend, performing the funeral ser vices. A large congregation as sembled to pay respect to their de parted friend and many a sorrow- fnl heart stood around bis grave that day. Aud now we may ex claim, “Our fathers! where are they!” A uoble carer is ended, a valuable citizen is gone; but be has left behind a worthy example of strict integrity, moral excellence, aud Christian zeal; and we can truthfully say tbe world is the bet ter for bis having lived. OUK GRADED SCHOOLS- The proposed Bill for the Dar lington Graded Schools which will be presented to tbe Legislature at its approaching session is to be found on another page. This Bill was carefully drawn np by one thoroughly conversant with educa tional matters, and is an admirable ene in every respect. Of coarse, it will undergo some changes before it is presented to the Geneial As sembly, but in tbe main it is tbe law w bich is to govern our long wished for Graded Schools. SOMEBODY SERIOUSLY*TO BLAME. A member of tbe County Demo cratic Executive Committee receiv ed tbe following telegram from a prominent citizen of Florence on tbe morning of tbe elec ion : “No Managers notified ; no tickets ; no arrangement for Election at Flor ence poll. What is to lie done ?” It was subsequently ascertained that, for the reasons given in this telegram, no poll was opened at Florence at all on the day of el- c- tiou. W’ho is responsible for this! The fault, wherever it may rest, is unpardonable, and the most search ing investigation should lie under taken at once to ascertain where the blame lies. A (’all tor the Farmers’ Association.
