In men whom men condemn as ill,
I find so much goodness still;
In men whohi MEN pronounce divine,
I find so much of sin and blot?
I hesitate to draw the line
Between the two?where God has not.'

Charles W. Wolfe.
(By Hon R J Kirk).
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. Fie

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.

THAW SHAKES OFF !
GRIP OF LAW.
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.
