Walt Whitman died at his ome in Union Monday morning at 5 'clock from a stroke of appoplexy. He ras attacked at 2 o'clock in the morniDg nd a physician was immediately s imloned but nothing could be done to save im and he died iu three hours from the me the doctor was summoned. Mr. Whitman had been ill since Thursday of ist week, but no serious result was exacted and his death was quite a schock > bis family and to the community, te was 53 years of age and leaves a wife ad two daughters, Mrs. Kitty W ault. 28 years of age, and Mrs, Djt ?e, 18 years old, and many relatives ad friends to lament his death. Mr. G. Walt Whitman's was sampling of a checkered career, aud while & waq pnnQtHoroH or?r?or*f pin Ko twou anesf, kind, warm-hearted and generis. He had his ideas and held on to is honest convictions tenaciously. PoLically he was everl istingly opposed to ng rule, cliques and combinations, hich possibly accounted, in a measure, ir bis ill success politically. His name well known not only in this State but distant States. He was one of the original if not the iginal mover for reformation. He Ivocated the principles adopted liter r the reformers before Hon. B. It illman ever went upon the stump. He id many excellent ideas, politically, me of which are well known and dorsed by the thinking people of the ate. He believed in fostering the mmon schools and the employment of mpetent teachers therein. He was posed to lavish appropriations to the tiher institutions of learning to the triment of the common schools. He Id, and his position was well taken, at a classical education was not excted to be obtained by the son of the enge poor man, and to foster them by fish appropriations of the people's xes was simply supporting an institu>n at the expense of the taxpayers that imbered on its roll of students very w young men whose parents were not lly able to pay their tuition at a higher stitution of learning. While the erage taxpayer's son comes to a halt iien he reaches the end of the common hool course, for the simple reason that i was not in financial position to bjard d clothe his son in a city inequil style those sons of wealthy parents. lie lieved the greatest good could be ac mplished Wwith school funds by giving the common schools longer terms and ore competent teachers and so do we. Mr, Whitman was so persistent in the vocation of measures that he considsd for the best interest of the grea'eit imber, that ho was sometimes dubbed cranky, but this did not d'sturb him the least. When he was once oroughly convinced that he was right held on like grim death to his position d would not enter into any com?:ose measures not even for his own per. sal gain, ana we cannot help admhing a trait of his character. Mr. Whitman was born in Spartanrg and was educated at Wofford, lich college he entered at the age of . "He was the youngest son of Mr. ivis Whitman, of Boston, Mass, who me South and married a Miss Dyer, Greenville, S. C. The family moved Spartanburg where Mr. G. W. Whitin was born. Mr. Whitman's first occupation was at of teaching school. He then entered < e ministery in the Methodist church, , d served several circuits, including 1 innsboro, Camden and Lynchburg, < ter which he was stationed at Spring reel church in Charleston. From here i went to Marion street chuich in ' >lumbia. He later went to Jonesville ' d.entered into the mercantile business. ! iiich he followed hfteen years, at the me time be also ran a store in Cailis'e >d for a short time he ran one at Paco5. He moved to Union in 19 jO and eued up a small grocery and confec- < >nary business on corner of Main street i ?r the Court House where he was still i ling business at the time of his death. I Mr. Whitman entered politics while i lived at Jonesville, and wa3 sent to the 3gislature as representative. He has ice ran for olllce several times, twice r governor of the State. On one of these lbernatoiial campaigns he stumped the ate on his bicycle, showing his inimitable pluck; Though his financial ndition was sin that he had not the herewithal to r ^ . the canvass by ilroad, he did d that discourage in from makin; jSSf&co. lie had his fa^flVlt is true, but there ! ea great mawr worse men than G. ''alt Whitman tend many of them have diouled him. We are too prone to nsure, too slow to praise. While he ?d his faults, let us gently diaw the ;il of charity over them and let him ho is without fault cast the (list stone.
