Citizens of Tennessee Town Reward Dr Hill.?. Several of I)r Hillis's "admiring friends" of McKenzie, Tenn., shortly after his utterance about wanting to make up Booker "Washington's bed, made up a purse of 30 cents and sent it to hint at Brooklyn along with the following note: "We are all poor, but we want to share our substance with you in admiration for jour wonderful sacrifice of yourself on the altar of duty for mere opinion's sake. Your courage in assuming the affirmative on the question, ' Shall Ifc>?ker Washington have me gpread his quilts?'' is one of the finest examples of manly independence that the twentieth century has yet produced. We rather think the Indianapolis chambermaid has you bested at this stage of the game, and her position is probably more renu lucrative than yours, bnt we glory in your spunk and we are not willing for your efforts to go unrewarded." Melvin J. Hirsch, Esq. Mr Melvin J Hirsch, whose death we recorded lust Thursday, was born in Mexico August 14, 1842, and was therefore nearly sixty-one years old at the time of his death. When quite young he removed with his parents to Charleston, S. C., where, after completing his education, he entered the counting rooms of Mordecai & Co, ut that time the largest importers in the city, running a direct steamship line between Charleston and Havana, Cuba. At the outbreak of the Civil war Mr Hirsch, then quite a young man, ioined the Washington Light Infan try, with which company, he participated in the various campaigns on the coast and in Virginia, serving the larger part of the time in the capacity of regimental commissary for Col Simonton's regiment In 1866, he opened a mercantile business in Kiugstree, was elected clerk of court in 1868, and at the expiration of his term iu 1872, was elected to the Legislature, serving two terms in that body until 1876, when he was elected solicitor of the Third judicial circuit, then comprising Williamsburg, Georgetown, Clarendon and Sumter counties. In 1880, he withdrew from active politics, devoting himself to the practice of his chosen profession, the law. Having lived in Kingstree the greater part of his life Mr Hirsch was well known in Williamsburg county and his geniality and affability of-manner gained him many friends.'' He was of a cheerful, socidl temperament, never being too mucji occupied with his own af' _ ? ? raWjio^Bcrve or ucuuuimuuai/c u friend^wtfether he was consulted pro fessionaily or otherwise. He wa s a metober of the Masonic Order, having passed to the degree jof Royal Arch Ma$on, and he also belonged to the Knights of Honor and the Knights and Ladies of Honor, having at one time held the office of Dictator in the one and Protector in the other of these fraternities. For a number of years up to. his death he was on the board of trustees for Kingstjee school and for the past three years he had served as chair man of *he county pension board. Accompanied by Messrs Louis Jacobs, M F Heller, J A Kelley, R K Wallace and E L Hirsch, the remains were taken to Charleston last Thursday night, and Friday morning, at 10 o'clock, laid to rest in th Huguenin Avenue (Jewish) cemetery, the service for the dead being conducted by Rev B A Elzas, rabbi of Beth Elohim.
