An Appreciation. j
Our venerable townsman and j f
lifelong friend, Dr W L Wallace, t
announced on new year's day that t
he had retired from the practice j i
of his profession, having turned; \
over his clientele to Dr Kelley, J i
his bright and promising young :r
? Ic mnidlv raining 11
nnv - j o ^
the confidence of the public and 1
broadening the field of his useful- i
ness so as to worthily wear the I
mantle that has fallen upon bis c
shoulders. c
We do not believe in waiting J
until our fellow-man has passed \
beyond the power of human feel- i
ing to pay him a deserved tribute c
of praise. Planting sweet flowers f
on his grave is absolutely a i
Tainjaud futile waste of euergy, 1
so far as the departed one is i
concerned, however much consola- t
tion may be derived therefrom by r.
the sorrowing friends. Therefore I
what we shall pay in praise of our 1
esteemed old friend shall not be a '
belated and perfunctory tuueral {"
eulogy. *
Dr Wallace's life has been a long *
and active one, its tenure having
passed the allotted span of three
score and ten by almost another
decade, it beiDg about 77 years (
6ince he first saw the light in '
Marion county. His career as a
medical practitioner covers a period
of 53 years and, as he remarked
in our presence recently, the scene 1
of his activities during this loDg
life of usefulness has been within
an eight-mile radius of Kingstree. '
Always ready to respond to the call
of the sick or suffering regardless '
of the social or financial standing
of his patient, Dr Wallace's prac*
tice included verily "all sorts and
conditions of men," running into 1
many hundreds. With him the
healing art was not primarily for
pecuniary reward, but rather (
a labor of love,
"When pain anil anguish wring the J
brow,
A ministering angel thou,"
is the tribute paid him by many a j
poor fellow sick and helpless, with- i
out money or prospects of getting ]
any, who would have suffered on but i
for the faithful ministrations of l
this big-hearted, philanthropic phy- 1
sician, nurse and pharmacist, who i
not only filled his own prescriptions j
but ofttimes actually gave food and
clothing without which nature would
have stood helpless in supplement nrr
tho remedial atrencies employed.
**? v " - - . J
Like many another true Southern-!(
er of his profession, however," Dr | (
AVallace's efforts and energies were!
not always directed toward the heal- J j
ins of the sick. "When the clarion _
? a
cull of duty sounded to repel the in- y
vading hosts of his country, the a
phyiciau laid down liis scalpel aud a
took up the sword as eager to kill
as he had been to cure in defense
of his beloved .Southland. His war ii
record is as honorable as his record b
of devotion in performing his arduous
professional duties in time of
peace.

roice and soothing touch, his large j
ircle of friends throughout this and ,
idjoining counties all feel that this I
aithful servant has earned the right
o spend iris remaining years free
rom the cares and anxieties incident
o the strenuous life of a country
loctor and though loath to give him
ip, yet they reali/.e that according to
rature's inexorable law his remainng
years are comparatively few.
They rejoice, however, that the Docor
looks so hale and hearty and all
rope that his days may yet be long
ipon the land. May his sun shine
iright to the end and go down with>ut
a single cloud to mar the beauty
>f its departing radiance.
Hurriedly written and arrang?d
vithout regard for continuity of
deas, this crude sketch would fai 1
>f its purpose if we neglected to reer
to oue particnlar form of altrusm
that has marked the life of Dr
t\'allace,that is the number of young
neu he has taken np and trained aud
educated in the medical profession,
rwo of these were his own sons,who
>assed away in the flush of young
nanhood on the threshold of life
vith promise of more than ordinary
success in their profession. There
ire several others, practicing physijiaus,
to whom he opened wide the
loor of hope and opportunity where>y
they achieved their ambition to
'allow the highest calling,except the
Christian ministry, that it is the
privilege of man-kind to pursue.
Mr Bryan on tbe Country Paper.
"I am glad to commend the
ivork of the country newspaper.
It can be owned by the editor
who edits it and, therefore, has behind
it a concience and character
which can be identified, which is
flose to the people and can give
voice to th<? sentiments of its readers.
We have to depend more and more
upon the country papers for an
educational work that is necessary
to a correct understanding of
public questions. There is a lot of
iliffereuce between i man who
Writes what he is told to write
and the man who writes what he
believes is a message to his readers.
At this time, when the great dailies
are becoming more and more business
enterprises rather than exponents
of opinions, and especially
when a number of them have become

THE PIKCHOT-BALLIXGER IMBROGLIO j

Washington, January !*: Mrjul
Pinchot has given out a staremen t: j?-.,
in which he praises the Roosevelt j a{;
conservation programme and eaIV Kupon

to protect their interests, ami insists j
there is i mined'ate danger that water J 01
powers will be ahsorbed. lie says ' <u
that the enemies of conservation in i re
(' tigress, through the Tawney! re
amendment, stop the work of con-! m
servation. He says, "those who'IV
steal public lands steal homes from j m
met! and women who need them."jcl
Congress can stop the pillage orjto
Congress can let it goon. He does jsh
not refer to Ids dismissal from i ni
oflice and lie does not criticise | th
President Taft.'j but lit- lauds Mr pi
Roosevelt ia calling the conference to
of Governors ln'P.HN, which re- ot
suited in the National Conservation T
commission and a message from te
Roosevelt transmitting its report pj
to Congress. It is now plainly su
realized that as a free lance Mr tb
Piuchot will jbe 110 less potent in pi
national affairs than he was when tb
a public officer. It is even possible m
that his detachment from office has c<j
marked him as the most eminent
advocate of national conservation of
and made him more effective for to
this cause than he was before, tb

great question for which Girfortl R
Pinchot stood and stands. ci
i V]
In time of war promotion is
rapid. Lieutenants and privates, sa
who went iuto the Civil war and ^
were fortunate enough to live *
through it, came out in many %1
cases as colonels and generale. ^
The army and navy is always ready
to light, realizing, if not expressing, u(
the feeling that promotion is Dl
certain through the death of a P1
at
superior officer: but in peace all
this is changed. West Point and ^
the Naval Academy turn out .
lieutenants in grert numbers while
colonels, commodores, admirals and
generals live on with provoking ^
persistence, keeping the youth wait- 1
iog too long for stars and bars ai
and the emoluments of higher 0
office. The country also, it is sus- "
pected, suffers from this persistence
in longevity, for the history al
of wars, as well as of prize fights, as
shows that the aged man is seldom
successful except in planning.
Success m all physical undertakings
depends more on celerity and \\
endurance than on anything else, is
There is a plan before Congress ^
for eliminating the older officers
from the service so that in case of w
war a corps of commanders,
both on land and at sea, may be
available of a younger age and r
more vigorous physique than were
those who went to battle in the
early days of the Civil and Spanish A
wars. n
Ex-President Roosevelt did all he [}
could to get younger and fitter
officers into tfie army and navy.
He had all ill-concealed contempt
for the old, fat and gouty heroes of
past wars, whom he saw in the in
department bureaus and at the ^
clubs during his long official
residence in Washington and he
doubtless had a lively remembrance .
of the Falstaffian mountain of llesh y!
that sweltered in Cuba while he
pretended to command the army, fl
His pushing General Wood to the
head of the army and his rapid promotion
of other young officers J
for distinguished service in the
Philippines has done more to ^
shock the gouty heroes even than
lis insisteuce that they shall prove
hemselves able to ride and march,
furious, isn't it, that policemen
ind army officers grow to be fat
.ml unlit for use so early in life? ^
There has been considerable ex- !|
itement and discussion in political
ircles during the week. The attiude
of the "Iusrgents" and" Reguars"
has been discussed and at *
ae time there seemed to be an in.
