MISCELLANY.
Judge William Smith.

Judge O'Ncall furnishes for the York
vile E"Qujrcr a sketch of Judge Smith,
from which we make an extract:
William Smith was elected Judge on
the 2Sth of June, 1903, in the place of
Judge Trezcvant, who had died the Fcbru-
ary preceding. He was President of the
Senate when elected, and was lawyer in
the full tide ofsucccssful practice on the
Middle, now called the Northern Circuit.
He was born lii North Carolina, but when
or where, ] have been unable to ascertain.
lie migrated to South Carolina, and settled
IN York district, when very young and
poor.
He was educated in part, probably, bv
the Rev MIR. Alexander, the able taachcr
and minister of tile Presbyterian faith, at
Bullock Creek, and finished his course at
the Mount Zion College, Winmsboro. =
While at Mr.. Alcxandcr's school, he met
with Gen. jackson as u school mate, and
no doubt when the two noble Romans met
Mt Washington, as President of the United
states ana Senator from South Carolina,
they met as friends in early life, and friends
in all the fierce political strifcs to which our
country had been and was then subjected
At thirty years ofage, Mr.. Smith began
the study of the law, and as three years
was then the prescribed term of study for
the graduate of College, he must have
been thirty three years of age, when admit
ted to the bar.
Hc represented his early life to an init
mate friend-Col Thomas Williams, for
merly of York, now of Montgomery, Ala.
bama-"as wild, reckless, incorporate, rude
and dboisterous, yet rcsolutean determined"
He had the rare blessing to win the love
of one of the purcst, mildest and best wo-
men, whose character has ever been pre-
sented to the writer He married Marga-
ret Duff. In his worst days, she never up
braided him by word, look or gesture, but
always met him as if he was one of the kind
est and best of husbands. This course on
her part humblcd him, and made him weep
like child. This sentence, it is hoped,
will be remembered, was the language of
JUDGE Smith to the friend already named,
and to those who knew the stern, unbcnd-
ing public character of the Judge, it will
teach lesson of how much patient wo-
mans love can accomplish. He was at last
reformed by an instance of her patient love
and devotion, as lie himself told it:
Tho evening before the Return Day of
the Court of Common Pleas for York Dis
trict, client called with fifty notes to be
put in suit. Mr.. Smith was not in his of
fice--he was on what is now f,shionaby
called spree, then frolic. Mrs. Smith
received the notes, and sat down in the Of
flee to the work of issuing the writs and
processes. She spent the night at work
Mr.. Smith sin riotous living" At day
light, on his way home from his carousais,
he saw a light in his Office, and stepped in,
ara to ija sTHa: EaFprieo saw his auliable
