Death of G. Walt Whitman.
Hon.G. 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.
The remains were taken to Jonesville '
id intered beside those of his relatives
, Gilead church yard. The remains
ere accompanied by Mr. J. II. Gault,
[r. A J. Lee, Mrs. G. L. McDonuald, 1
t Abheville, Mr. Whitman's only living
ster, and his neice3, Mrs. Ilettie Graam
and Miss Pearl Smith, of Spartanarg.
The ladies of Union brought a beautiil
floral tribute of sweet roses and
owersof several designs. A beautiful

Talker and Miss Alice Hurt. It was
