Life and death are but manifestations of the unchanging law oi nature. Death is always terrible even when it comes to him who has passed his thre* score years and ten, has set his house in order and calmly awaits the approach of the great leveller. How much more dreadful therefore to contemplate the passing of one who crumbles and fades while yet in the prime of his intellectual vigor! Such are the thought4 * which came to all of us when the daily papers announced the ^eath ol the editor of this paper at Hendersonville, N C, on the 19th instant. . Charles W Wolfe, the son of Charles W and Eugenia Scott Wolfe, was born in the Cedar Swamp section oi Williamsburg 45 years ago. His early education was obtained partly at the Sheridan school in Orangeburg and partly at the Wofford school. Later he entered the Cita* del, where he remained for over V three years, but retired before Jiis graduation. Mr Wolfe early took up newspaper work as his chosen field of labor and in 1898 purchased from L J Rrietnw who then owned the Da per. The County hecord. At the time Mr Wolfe came into possession of the paper The Record was a single sheet, outside patept and the in' side was printed on a hand press. Under his able management the paper was gradually brought up to its present high standard. As an editor C W Wolfe found the place in the world's work for which nature and inclination both fitted him, and had his health not failed him it is easy to believe that his talents would have caused him to be called to larger and wider fields. His was a keen, quick intellect, and his editorials were couched in clear, clean English without any effort to dres* his thoughts with the literary embellishments which so often spoil anotherwise good paper. His education begun in childhood was continued as long as he had health and strength, and constantly polished by an extensive reading of current '' ' ^ ' ;v .'%/X literature and that of the best. He kept a abreast of his day and times and particularly in what congLrned South Carolina. V In pt>1 ities he was sound to the core and upheld with voice and pen the highest ideals of his State and county. What he believed was right lie maintained to the best of j hi> ability, and it mattered not whether his views were shared by his friends or not. He thought for himself, formed his own opinions, and blazed his own way. If his subscribers did not like his policies, ' ? I riM IV 1 ,1,1 let tliein go: Din x i,ii3 lvecoru ?uiuui continue to reflect the views of the I editor. In this particular lie showi ed his independence, which in the press, as in all other professions,.is I the first element of success, and it ' is 110 exaggeration to say here that until his health failed him he made I The Record one of the most widely J quoted weekly papers in South Carolina. ' Mr Wolfe was a charming man to know. A brilliant conversationalist, | a close observer and a wide reader, he could go into any circle and hold 1 his own easily and gracefully. He served as a member of the House of Representatives from Williamsburg for two years but held no other political office. His pleasure was in home and in his paper. His journal, istic ideals were high and honorable . and his efi'ort was to lead his people into paths which were safe, and ,to mould and reflect the life around him. His going away is a sad loss to this town and county, for there are far, far too few men of his calibre who move and have their being among us. ^ About nine years ago Mr Wolfe was happily married to Miss Bertha Hodge, of this county, who, with a daughter of seven,survives him. For ' the past three years he has been ; confined almost entirely to his home [ & ? ; , lighting gallantly against the insidil ous disease which has at length over come him. He has suffered greatly } during these three years but has borne his trials with Christian fortitude, attended constantly and faithfully by the devottd wife and hand1 maid. Surely the knowledge of this should comfort lier! "Oh, for a place to rest, my God! If but 'neath some melancholy shade, Far from the* tread Of sin, where I might lay, unafraid, t My weary head. > Oh, give me such a place, my God!" . And so we leave our friend to his rest. Hail and farewell! i 111 health did much to cripple the 1 usefulness of C W Wolfe to his com: munity and to the State, hut Wili liamsburg county will miss him.

Mr C C Tracy, an eminent lawyer of Walterboro, died, at his home in that plaice Friday of last week. Mr Tracy ^as 59 years of age, and by a special act of the Legislature began the practice of law before he was 21 years old. Mr Samuel W Dixon of Florence died shortly after 12 o'clock Monday at his home in that city. He was about 72 years old and a Confederi ate veteran. He was connected with the Southern Express service for 49 years as messenger or agent, and only retired from active service last 1 year of his own volition. The -badly decomposed body of an i unknown man was found Tuesday afternoon in a tank car of the Texas Oil company's plant near Charleston. The supposition is that the man had ' been beating his way on the car and ' went into it to avoid being detected by any of the train crew, or perhaps i went into it to sleep. While in the car, it is thought that the gas fumes and heat killed him. m # Beauty More Than Skin Deep. A beautiful woman always has good 1 digestioja.

SUPREME COURT JUDGE ADOPTS JURY'S VERDICT DECLARING THAW SANE. New York, July 16:?Harry K. Thaw shook oft* the grip of the law today, motored down Broadway to i the applause of admirers, crossed; the ferry to Jersey City, bade the j Sheriff good-bye and whirled away j toward Philadelphia, followed by a - -i? ?^ l.i ? z:n_ J !.v ! procession 01 auiomouues luieu wtui n newspaper men. ' J He reached Newark, ten miles j away, about 2 o'clock and stopped | for luncheon. A crowd quickly as-1 sembled outside the restaurant. They cheered him. Thaw s announced intention was to motor to Philadelphia and there take a t|*ain for PittsburR. - . . Outside of Newark Thaw lost some of the cars which followed him. Apparently he had headed back for New York as a ruse to elude the newspaper men. This created some speculation, as he had previously said he wanted to attend a theatrical performance on Broadway tonight, and had abandoned the idea rather reluctantly. Fof the first time in over nine years Thaw was free today to go and come as he pleased. Supreme Court Justice Hendrick, shortly before noon, annunced that he had adopted the verdict of the jury which Wednesday found Thaw sane. The writ committing Thaw to Matteawan seven years ago thereupon automatically became inoperative. The State's lawyers appealed and Thaw was released on $35,000 bail. TTnrlor thp fprms of t.hp bond he is to hold himself amenable to the court's orders until the appeal is finally decided. Meantime he may go wherever he pleases. Thaw seemed delighted. He said he was very happy and frequently stood up in his automobile to bow to those around him. What Thaw's attitude would be towards Evelyn Nesbit Thaw was a matter of considerable speculation. He would not return a direct answer to any question on this point. When one interviewer asked him if he expected to see her soon Thaw looked at his questioner steadily for a few moments and turned away without a word. Plan Your *Vinler Garden. Now is the time to plan your win- IT ter gardens. About the 15th or J 20ttf of July you may carefully select your winter plat, lime it well, subsoil about 12 inches. Lay off one-third of it in rows 2 l-2? feet apart, using plenty of leaf molcf and well rotted compost as fertilizer. Plant Irish potatoes on this one-third of pjat, using the small potatoes left from the spring crop if you have them. If not. plant the Lookout] Mountain potato for autumn use. This crop can be left in the ground and used during the entire winter. There is always a ready sale for fresh Irish potatoes in fall and winter. About the middle of August 1-6 of the plat may be planted in Rutabaga turnips, 1-6 in the egg turnip, which comes off very early, leaving the same territory to be planted in lettuce the first of November. The remaining 1-3 of plat may be planted in the White Pearl onion which will be ready for market the first of February, if the sets are planted the first or middle' of September. By planting this early in the fall they bring a fancy price in the;market, coming on so early in the succeeding year. Then.too, the ground will be available in March for planting pimentos or some other product. Onions require very frequent cultivation until the bulb is about two instUnn in liiamafav fK on tV-io anil I I I IIJL'.ICO 111 UinillWbWl} l/iivii vuv ww?? | should be drawn away from the bulb, leaving it exposed above ground, from which, through the thread roots, it develops very rapidly. Winter gardens should be planted through July, August and September. To increase variety of production on the plat the Irish potatoes may be gathered and spread in a house for keeping during the winter, leaving the space they occupy on the plat to be planted in beets the first of November. These yield an abundant harvest for February and March market. They, too, require frequent cultivation. Amanda Edwards, Co Agt Home Dem Work. Diarrhoea Quickly Cured.
