JOHN BELToN o'NEALL.
JUDGE WILLIAM SMITH.

| WILLIAM SMITH was elected Judge on the 2Sth
of June 1908, in the place of Judge IRRELEVANT,
Who had died the February preceding. He was
President of the Senate when elected, and was a
lawyer in the full tide Of successful practice ON
the Middle, now called the Northern Circuit.
He was born in North Carolina, but when or
where, have been unable to ascertain. He mi
grated to South Carolina, and settled in York Dis
trict, when very young and poor. ..
He WAS educated in part, probably by the Rev.
Mr.. ALEXANDER, the able teacher, and minister Of
the Presbyterian faith, at Bullock's Greek, and
finished his course at the Mount Zion College,
winusboro'. While at Mr.. ALExANDER's school,
he met with Gen. JACKSON as school-mate, and
no doubt, when the two noble Romans met at
Washington, as President Of the United States and
Senator from South Carolina, they met as friends
in early life, and friends in all the fierce political
strifes to which our country had been and was
then subjected.
At thirty years Of age, Mr.. SMITH began the
study of the law, and as three years was then the
prescribed term of study for the graduate of a
College, he must have been thirty three years Of
age, when admitted to the Bar.
He represented his early life to an intimate
friend-Col. THOMAS WILLIAMS, formerly of York,
| now of Montgomery, Aiabama-"as wild, reck-
less, Incorporate, rude and boisterous, yet reso'
lutte and determined"
He had the rare blessing to win the love Of one
of the purest, mildest and best women, whose
character has ever been presented to the writer.
He married MARGARET DUFF. "In his worst days,
she never upbraided 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 humbled him, and made him weep like q
child" This sentence, it is hoped, will be remem-
bered, was the language Of Judge SMITH to the
friend already named, and to those who knew the
stern, unbendng public character Of the Judge,
it will teach lesson of how much patient wo-
mans love can accomplish. He was at last re-
formed by an instance of her patient love and de.
yotion, as he himself told it.:
"The evening before the Return Day of the
Court of Common Pleas for York District, cli-
ent called with fifty notes to be put in suit. Mr.
SMITH was not IN his ofice--he was on what now
fashionaby called spree, then frolic Mrs.
SMITH received the notes, and sat down in the Of
fee to the work of issuing the Writs and Process
es She spent the night ut work-Mr. SMITH Sin
riotous living" At daylight, on his way homo
from his csrousas, he light in his Office, and
stepped in, and to his great surprise saw his ami
able wife, who had jus. completed what ought to
to have been his work, with her head on the table
and asleep. His entry awoke her. She told him
what she had done, and showed him her nights
work-ftty Writs and Processes. This bowed the
strong man, che fell on his knees, implored her
pardon, and then aud there faithfully promised her

His intercourse with his friends was unrestrain-

anecdotes of the Bench and Bsr, and Of his varied

his friends. But to those whom he disliked or
who he supposed disliked him, he was reserved
