Af ter an experlfiice of now nearly a quar ter of a century In making brief and In obsf-rvliiB the work of lawyers of , all kinds, and particularly or the younger members of . the. bar, I can truthfully etiy that , I have never aeon any young lawyer who surpassed him in tha ability to prepare a brief and In ability to dls firlmlnato between ; decided cases, and select thosa that were In. nnlnt on " his side. He had the lawyer's Inatlnct,. which every true lawyer can ao oasi-.y and ao quickly discern. '. . " "I talked to him often of hi life' purpose, and . I found that, he had an ambition and determination to attain tha highest measure of success tat any sacrifice, save only that of hi Integrity. And yet with all hla desire to get busi ness and to aucceed In life, I am glad to be able to aav that he never did any thing to get clients which would, violate any of th rules of legal ethic. ( ' '1 -deeply deplore hla death; to ma ifter sonally It 1 a loss unspeakable. 'The legal profession needs a constant influx of Just suph lawyers a he ws to help u uphold and . maintain tha, high, atatt dard of our profession.' ' "How remorseless was Death ta atrlk dowa such an one aa hat I know-, -that thla la no time for preaching; and If it were, I am no tit preacher. Trt 1 can ay, I hop without cant, that I stand absolutely appalled at th "deep mystery of his taking off. It la no wonder that tha greatest of all heathen philoaopbera considering - tha mysteries of life and death, . and beholding a young' life like thla so full of promise, and yet so sud denly eut -off,, found in it th highest argument lor tha Immortality - of - tha soiih He argued that ther must be a pine aome wrier In which such an In tellect could come to full fruition; this la our only comfort to-dgy. I am told that there ta a river-In th Southland that burst from, th earth and flow In tha sunlight for several miles, and then suddenly disappear beneath.' tha surface a If lost to the world forever. But th traveler going i aome dlstano beyond, suddenly and unexpectedly sees thla -aam -river com, forth from th darknesa and from th eerth la a bolder, and atronger- stream than ever, and then goea on lta eours broadening and deepening until ' it help .to r fill tha mighty ocean which bear up the armies and navlea and commerce of th world.

ITALIANS IRRESPONfimLU Peonnfre llcarltig at Marion Saturday At 111 Likely Ilevoal Jr'act That Tln-re Are Iwo tilde to Labor Mtuuiloii on the. South A AVeatern, , Special to The Observer. 'v- V" f Ashevllle. ; Aug. 20, The - hearing before a United States ' commissioner at Marlon of peonage chargos against certain . contractors of the South West, era Railway next Saturday, Aug ust 31. bids fair to be Interesting. The ' preliminary was set for several days ago, but " a - postponement was deemed advisable and the ' date was set for August ISth. District Attor ney Holton and. his assistant will rep resent the government . and ; all the evidence of peonage r act ices obtain able wilt be presented. There Is said to , be ' some , absolute - evidence that peonage haa existed on the worka ot the South 'Western "between Ma rlon and Bpruce Pine, where hundreds of Italians are employed." but thosa familiar with condition at the oon atructlon camna hold that there are mitigating circumstances , and that, while the South & AVeatern may be techUcally guilty,' tha dagoea ar by ho. means blameless, t-- ?- . - A genleman here -Saturday from Marlon, who ia conversant with con ditions oa the, works of the South A Western, declared that from personal knowledge the Italians war a hard lot to handle and that the j-atlroad lost hundreds of dollars by the for eigners' utter disregard of their. ob ligations and promises. It Is said that the railroad.' In order to secure all the -men possible to work on the construction - of . the - road, advances money for railroad fare and other ncasarle and that th Itallana.-who ar by no means Ignorant of th laws, after working a few days, skip out or refuse to work and tha company must txar the loss. Thla gentleman said that it la no unusual thing for th Italians even on fair, daya to refuse to leave their -camps and go to work and that often, after working a few hours during a day, bunchea ot them will lay down their picks and shovels and alt around idling-and smoking cigarettes, refusing toatwork and to tally . Irresponsible, if Is aaid - that there are two sides to. tba trouble on the works of the South at Western and that the investigation will doubt less develop- an unsatisfactory situa tion. - Ther la no dependence to , be placed in th Italians, it is a mis erable class of labor that the railroad r.ow- has to deal with. .'i.,;;y. j..- - OALYESTON'B SEA WALL P make life now aa aafe In that city aa on the higher upland.
