FRASER, WALLACE
AND WLTHERSPOON.
Greenville Bar Honors Their
Memories.

Saturday afternoon the members OF
the bar held q meeting in the court
house in honor of Judges Wallace,
Fraser aud Witherspoon, and there
was very full attendance Judge
Benet was presiding, and when the
time was indicated by him, Hon T.
O. Donaldson presented series of
resolutions in respect to the death of
Judge VIM b. Wallace of Union.
He was followed by Capt A Blythe,
who submitted tribute to Judge i.
D WitherspooD. Mr. 81 j. Bayns-
worth then offered resolutions in
regard to the death of Judge Thos
B Fraser. These tributes were
couched in beautiful and appropriate
language, and faithfully portrayed
the lives and character of the emf
pent jurists who have passed away
80 near to each other
Messrs Donaldson, Blythe and
Haynsworth supplemented their trib-
utes with feeling and pertinent re
marks, and they were followed by NJ.
F Ansel, B M shuman, j A Nc
Cullougb, W N Graydon, J H.
Hayward and John H. Earle Mr.
Graydon is visiting member of the
bar, and made very happy effort
The local members all sustained
themselves admirably, and it was a
most striking fact that each speaker
pointed oct distinctive features in
the life or character OF the deceased
judges, showing that there was
wealth of material from which to
draw in their history Several of
them alluded to the remarkable coin
cidence that they we're engaged in
memorial services in honor of three
men of note, not only in the profess
sion, but in all walks of life. and
especially that Wallace, Wi,herspoon
and Fraser had borne conspicuous
though different parts in the redemp
tion of the State from alien rule and
bad then been chosen to rehabilitate
the judiciary
Mr. & J Hsynsworth said this
was an unusual occasion, for the
members of the bar to pay tributes
upon the death of three men whose
uames have adorned the pages Of
South Carolina history They were
all leaders of men, each in his own
way, but recognized as such by the
people among whom they lived and
labored They were ready to sscri
fee ambition and as servants of the
State they were honored by their
fellow citizens with universal respect
aud confidence, which is better than
the honor of holding Office The
speaker knew Judge Fraser from his
own childhood. and was taught to
love and respect him He was
honest, modest and true in every
relation of life, and every man,
woman and child in Sumter county
loved and honored the perfect gentle
man and upright citizen He never
feared to do his duty, but he was
kindly to all Judge Fraser knew
the law, the principles of right and
wrong. and he sought to apply them
in the administration Of his judicial
Office He was not brilliant lawyer
nor shining light, bus a true man in
any position he was placed Green
vile Mountaipeer.
