CULP PASSES OVER SUDDENLY STRICKEN SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND DIED IN A FEW HOURS?WAS ONE OF UNION'S LEADING PHYSICIANS AND PUBLIC SPIRITED CITIZEN?BODY IS LAID TO REST IN GRACE METHODIST CHURCH CEMETERY MONDAY AFTERNOON AT SETTING OF SUN. Dr. Madison Wallace Culp died Saturday evening about nine o'clook at his home on North Mountain street. He was taken seriously 111 during the afternoon and while engaged actively In his work as a physician. He had recently suffered from an attack of grippe, and although had been keeping up his work, he had not regained his strength. Saturday at noon Dr. Culp attended a meeting of the stockholders of the Union i County Fair Association, and was j among those who spoke In the meet- < Ing, although there was no great ex- i , ertlon, nor anything In the meeting < that WU8 Calculated to Avcltn nr n??. tax anyone. 1 After dinner Dr. Gulp -wrote a pre- < scrlptlon for a patient while In the i Rice Di%g Co.'a store, and it was there he was suddenly seised with a i severe attack. He started to go up" the stairs to the office of Drs. Berry ] and Montgomery and had to be help- i ed part of the way up the steps. Ho 1 was given medical attention and ev- i erything possible was done for him. | hut the efforts were unavailing. TMi was carried home and, although con scions grew rapidly worse. The end. j came about nine o'clock Saturday i evening. He wee flfty-fonr years of < age. < Dr. Culp leaves a life, and two i brothers, Messrs. Bartow P. Culp, of i Union, and B. D. Culr of Portsmouth, Va. He was a native of Union, hav- j ing been born in the the house now known as the Hill House, not more 1 Benjamin W. and Cornelia Meng Uulp, his father belonging to a prominent family of Chester county, while his mother belonged to a prominent fam- i lly of Union county. Ae a young man Dr. Culp attended the school taught here by the late Judge D. A. Town- i send, anl later he persued a course of stndy In King's Mountain Military school. He graduated In medicine at the South Carolina Medical college. On April 15th, 1902. Dr. CuId was < married to MIsb Maray Graham, of Tattle Palls, N. Y? who with his two brothers survive him. Dr. Gulp was one of the leading physicians of Union, and was regard- t ed by his fellow- physicians as a man skilled in the science of medicine. He was eminently successful as a practlclcioner and was held in highoat oatoom Vvvr ttiAQO wVa V* I vub VDVVVttl \JJ VUWDC YY IIU IM1C YY II I ill as a medtaal practitioner. Not only was. Dr. Culp eminent In the field of his life's work, hut he was a public spirited and thoroughly informed man of affairs. He was regarded as competent to speak upon questions of public Interest, whether that interest was something relative to the agricultural affairs of the community or to questions relating to the social and moral bett'hrment of the community. Dr. Culp was a man of pronounced convictions, and was Inflexible In his stand for what he conceived to be right. He was R man with high ideals and was not afraid to stand for those Ideals, even if he felt he would have to stand alone. He loathed a hypocrite and was himself the soul of honor. He was. for these very reasons sometimes adjudged to he harsh in his attitude towards what he conceived wrong. Yet those who reaiiy knew him, soon learned that he was possessed' of a most kindly heart. He was ever ready to respond to the ing in his attention to real charity cry of human need.. He* was unfalland equally ready to throw the mantle of charity over the fallings of oth ers. And those who were in closest touch with him hear testimony to his havinjr arown broader in sympathy and Rentier in heart durlnR the last few years of his life. As the closinR of his earthly pllRrimaRe drew near his heart reached ont in prayer to the Ood-Father, and with the directness ana simplicity or a cniia nis nps spoke In supplication to the throne of | Ootf. On Monday. "April 1st, and almost at the set of the sun. his remains were laid to rest In the cemetery of BLEASE'S PLAN TO KILL CAMPAIGN WILL 00 INTO CONVENTION TRYING TO STOP COUNTY TO COUNTY TOUR?CONSTITUTION MAY RE AMENDED?PROBLEMATICAL WHETHER NATIONAL DELEGA*: TION WILL GO INSTRUCTED, Columbia, April 1.?The restructlon of the primary, the abolition of the county to county campaign and the election of a delegation to the national convention will be among the questions to be considered by the state Democratic convention, whioh is to be held in Columbia May 15. Eighteen delegates, double the repre Bentation in the national congress, will be elected to the Baltimore convention. It is problematical as to whether the delegates will go uninBtructed. Kor the past several days there has meen a rumor to the effect that an attempt would be made at the state convention to amend the constitution of the -Democratic party, so as to eliminate the county to county canvass by the candidates. It is said that the fortes in the convention in favor of the governor will try to put the Amendment through. It is hardly probable that the attempt will be BucceBsful. The plan proposed is to let each of the candidates make an Individual .cancasB of the State. Very tew of the voters would be reached under this plan. The county to county campaign seems to be firmly fixed In South Carolina politics. In the past, when there was a number of candidates In the race for the United States senate* it has been customary to hold two campaigns, one for the senatorial candidates and one for the state officials. So far only two candidates have announced for the senate, B. K. Tillman and Jaaper W. Talbert, both of Edgefield county. It is saidv that Senator Tillman will not make a canvass of the state, but that he will make only one or two speech?*, m* TaiAast hai aWttsMTiml nounced that he will make a campaign. The two campaigns will be combined this year, is ?he opinion of members of the executive committee. The itinerary for the compaign will be prepared for the new executive committee of the party, to be elected at the county conventions May 6th. The committee will meet, very probably, when the state convention convenes here May 15 and decide upon the Itinerary. The first campaign meeting was held in 1910 at Sumter June 22. The national convention of the Democratic party will be held In Baltimore June 25. It has been suggested that, as many of those dlrectly interested in the campaign will attend the national convention, the first campaign meeting be held on June 17 this year. Six meetings would be held, then a rest of one week, resuming the campaign July 1. Mrs. Lula W. Turner Dead. Manning. March 31.?Mrs. Lula Wood Turner, wife of Mr. W. M.-'Turner, died at their home in Manning shortly before 8 o'clock last night, after a lingering Illness, aged 37 years. Mrs. Turner was a native of Union county, but had been living in Manning for ten years. She leaves her husband and two little girls, of about 5 and 7 years, besides one brother, Mr. KinprHOii Wood of Wont Vlrelnia and two Bisters, Mrs. Bertha Armentrout, of Tennessee, And Mrs. Ida Aycock, of Barnwell. The Interment took place In the city cemetery this afternoon, the funeral service being conducted by the Rev. P. H. Shuler. pastor of the Methodist church. The burial service was attended by a large gathering of sympathizing friends of the family ?News and Courier. Mrs. Turncr was well known in Union and had a wide circle of relatives and friendB, who will be grieved to hear of her death. Or. Ray I,paten (inlon. Dr. H. A. Ray, w.ho has been with the. Rice Drug Co., for the past year, haa resigned hie position and returned to h is home in Charleston. S. C., where he will accept a similar one.

GREGORY, THE POSSESSOR OF A REMEDY FOR CANCER WHICH IS SAID TO IIAYE PERFORMED WONDERS IN TREATMENT OF THAT DISEASE?PEOPLE OF HIGH AS WELL AS HUMBLE WALKS OF LIFE HAVE GITEN TESTIMONIALS ? INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT THE REMEDY. Mr. K. M. Gregory, one of Union's citizens, is the possessor of a remedy for cancer which is said to have produced wonderful results in the treatment of that dread disease. In fact, some of the testimonials, coming as they do from men of intelligence and culture, bear every evidence of sincerity and of trustworthiness. It was upon being shown some of these testimonials that The Times man became interested in the remedy and in Mr. Gregory, the owner of the remedy. Mr. Gregory has testimonials from bankers, merchants, planters?men of prominence and of intelligence, to say nothing of a number of testimonials from people in humbler walks in Ufe. Mr. Gregory says he came into possession of the remedy through his father, the remedy having come down to the latter through his great grandfather, and his grandmother. It has been the custom to pass the secret to one member of the family, thus guarding the secret. The remedy was used at infrequent intervals until it came Into the possession of the present holder of the secret formula. Mr. Gregory has used the remedy quite extensively and with remarkable results. if the testimonials are to be relied upon, and they bear every evidence of being genuine. Mr. Gregory has decided to widen the usefulness * OB^MMI^Pt? a9^|B| K. M. Gregory. of the remedy, but will do so in the future solely under the guidance of a regular physician. Those who come to him for treatmnet will have first to come under the examination of a regular physician, and upon the advice of the physician, and only upon such advice, will the remedy be applied. Mr. Gregory Is a man of limited education, but possesses a large amount of practical common sense. He was, in early life, a farmer, and is now, and has been for several years, a machinist. One to see him dressed in his overalls would not 1 udge him to be a healer of disease. He is, ?n looks, a typical working man and has the mark of his call( ing upon him. We present herewith a cut made from a photograph recently taken of Mr. Gregory. He is well known in j Union and throughout Union and other counties of the state. Elsewhere in this paper will he seen an advertisement of this remarkable remedy. But what is written in this brief sketch is done solely upon the Times editor's willingness to at least pass on the in_ formation for the benefit of those 0 j suffering from this fearful disease. The treatment is worth at least an honest investigation. Mr. Hodges at First Church. d Rev. J. L. Hodges of Kelton, preached for the congregation of the First Baptist church Sunday evening and a large crowd was present to hear in him. Mr. Hodges moved to this coun? ty last year and by his earnest preaching and strong christian character, has greatly endeared himself i* to the community. He serves the " cfesrohes at Kelton, Lockhart and 'PMlHpi.
