Hi- sound judgment and wonderful energy in the management of his business have secured to him a degree of suooeaato which few hve at tained, and his unquestioned integrity, large- hearted charity and unostentatious b-nevolence have won for him the respect and admiration of all. 1 nttrh as was his position as a baaiaeaa man and a citizen, those who were moot intimately con nected with him can testify to the loveliness of character which adorned him in his private life. It is, therefore, eminently fit and proper that this assemblage of friends and members of the Chamber of Commerce, with whom he has so long been associated,, have been called -together to give expression to their sense of the great loss whion has been sustained in the death of such a man. and it is unanimously - Beaolced, 1 hat this testimonial shall be recorded in the books of this . hamber, and that a blank pase of th same shalL be appropriated for the record of the name of Mr. Sadder and the dates of his b rth and death.

Chairman: In . seconding the reso lutions presented by your committee, I can add but little to their truthful estimate of the life and character of our deceased friend. His - contemporaries for many years, their testimony is the highest evi dence we can have of the great public and private virtues tbat made him so estimable a citizen..

While many ' know how Xo make money, few know How to spend it well, but he possessed the rare combination of knowing how to maxeto save and to speBd. and in all of these to benefit those amonir whom he lived, as well as to advance his own for tunes. The business and manufactories be con- dotted .and aided, the public works be .founded the hospitality he dispensed, have ail added, to me wealth, the comfort or the happiness of those among whom he lived.

This writer, lhJhe capacity of a reporter, has had opportunities to learn considerable in regard to J udge Meares and bis manner 'of dispatching business, and has learned to look upon him Hs one of the best Judges in the State. His rulings . and decisions are of the most impartial character, all offenders against the law be ing regarded by bim as on an equal foot ing and omhe same level, whether they are rich or poor, white or black, i He is un fettered by a feeling of obligation to any one and his judgment is untrammeled.
