Judge Orr had the courage to go
into the convention and nominate an
independent Republican for Cover
nor. An earnest battle was made,
but all the election machinery was in
the hands of the most reckless rulers,
and Moses was reelected. Failing
to succeed in winning reform State
government, he decided in 1872 that
he could best accomplish some good
for South Carolina by going into fell
lowship with the National Republic
can party, and / last saw him when
he was in Philadelphia as chairman
of the South Carolina delegation in
the National Convention that re-
nominated Grant.
Age and tireless effort and con-
suming care had broken the vigor of
his health, and his course was Bit
terly condemned by many Of his old
South Carolina friends, but no man
ever acted more conscientiously to
serve the interests of his people.
Soon thereafter he was appointed by
Grant as Minister to Russia, and was
confirmed by the Senate without
objection, bat age and care had
multiplied his infirmities, and on the
9th of May, 1873, just two months
after he had presented his credentials
to the Czar, he died in the Russian
capital, and thus ended the life and
efforts of one of the best, purest and
bravest of the sons of the South

Secession Convention of South Caro-
lima, in which he earnestly opposed
the withdrawal of the State from the
Union, but he stood almost alone,
and when the secession ordinance
was adopted he yielded his own per-
sonal convictions to the sovereign
power of the State, and when war
came he was among the first to march
regiment of his riflemen to the
support of the Confederate cause.
Before he had attained any active
military service he was elected to the
Confederate Senate, where he served
during the entire existence of the
Confederate government. He was
one of the three Confederate COM
missioners appointed by the State to
visit Washington in December, 1860,
to treat for the surrender of the forts
in the Charleston harbor, and he
was the one member of that commits
sion who seemed to understand the
magnitude of the issue they were
called upon to solve. He was a care
full student, an intelligent observer,
and he was one of the most genial
and popular of all the Southern Con-
gressmen. | think it safe to say
that he had more acquaintances and
warmer friends among the Northern
Representatives than any other man
from the South, and he understood
the North and its resources and the
character of its people better than
any of the madcap leaders who
plunged the country into civil war.
GOVERNOR OF SOUTH CAROLINA.
His career in the Confederate SEN
ate was not an aggressive one, as he
better understood the resistless trend
of events than did most of his asso-
ciates, but he was schoolgirl the
doctrine of the sanctity of State
sovereignty on which the Confede-
racy was founded, and he sustained
the secession government according
to his best judgment. When the
end came and the Southern armies
were surrendered and their banners
furled, he at once directed his efforts
to the great work of restoring the
people of his State to some measure

JAMES L. ORR.
Congressman, Speaker, Confederate Senator,
Judge and Minister to Russia.

James l.. Orr, of South Carolina,
was one of the ablest of the Southern
leaders for a decade before the civil
war, when he served in Congress,
and he had very important part in
the reorganization and final recon
struction of the State after the over
throw of the few able national leaders
who, while heartily sympathizing with
the South and sincerely devoted to all
Southern interests, was not blinded
by sectional passion, and well under
stood that secession meant war, and
that war meant destruction. He
was thoroughly honest and patriotic
in all his purposes and actions thor
oughly commanded the confidence
of the Southern Democrats before
the war, and of the Southern leaders
during the existence of the Confede-
racy (wben he served uninterrupt-
edly in the Confederate Senate)
and of all parties-carpet- baggers,
adventures and radical Southerners
in the many bitter and desperate
conflicts in his State which attended
reconstruction.
oRR'S ANTE-BElLLM CAREER.
Orr was born in Craytonville,
South Carolina, May 12, 1922. He
was Of the old Scotch Irish stock
that emigrated southwark from
Pennsylvania and gave the three
counties Of South Carolina in which
they settled the names of Chester,
Lancaster and York. While he was
South Carolinian by birth, educa-
tion, affinity and interest, he was
born and reared in the western val
leys of the State, which are shadowed
by the mountains, and while slaves
existed there they were compare
lively few in number, and labor in
the shop and field was not regarded
as degrading to the white man, while
in the central and eastern part of
the State the slave population
largely predominated over the whites.
He did not inherit fortune, but by
care and frugality he attained col
legiate education, graduating at the
University of Virginia in 1912. He
then studied law and located at
Anderson, among his old neighbors,
to practice his profession, where he
established and edited village
paper entitled The Gazette. When
but twenty-five years of age he was
elected to the Legislature and first
attracted general attention by his
earnest and able denuncation of
notification, that was then lingor-
ing issue in the State. Four years
later he was elected to Congress, and
his first contest was opposed by a
more radical Southerner, but Orr
was elected by decided majority.
He was reelected at the four fol-
lowing consecutive elections without
opposition, and in December, 1857,
when entering upon his last Con-
gressional term, he was chosen
Speaker, after having been unani-
mously nominated by the Democrats.
He thus served in Congress during
the bitter contest for the repeal Of
the Missouri Compromise and the
desperate struggles later made over
the Kansas issue, but he was always
conservative and sought to exercise
q wholesome restraining influence
upon the blind leaders of slavery
who led it to its final and convulsive
overthrow.
IN THE coNFEDERATE SENATE.
In 1860 he was elected to the

pine Death Roll.
In the Alpine Club, Saville row, Lon
don, carefully preserved in glass
cases, are some bits of human skulls,
splinters of glass bottles that once
held refreshments, short lengths OF
broken alpenstocks, and ragged cloth
ing bleached white by the Alpine
SHOWS.
They tell the melancholy story CT
brave men who lost their lives in the
interests Of science.
But the ghastly daily sacrifice that
is now going on in the Alps has raised
the question whether the non-scien-
tifc mountaineer, who climbs for the
pleasure" or excitement Of the thing.
or for the vain glory that it brings
him, is not hopelessly insane.
Study the man in the Swiss hotels" ="
writes correspondent. "and you will
find him as rule a weird and extra
ordinary being. He has curiously
shaped head; his beard is trimmed
fantastically or not trimmed at all;
his clothes are an extravangaza.
"Talk with him, and what is his
talk? 1t is about mountains and more
mountains and more mountains STILL
His eyes flashes fire, he raves wildly
Of unknown beauties, Of the delights
Of facing death.
"In fact, he betrays all the symp-
toms that would have stamped him IN
the mind of Burton as mailman.
There is only one other theory
that would seem to explain this rush
Of inexperienced men to their doom"
adds the correspondent.
MANY believe in it, and why should
it not be true, for the Alps offer an
easy death, untainted by suspicion,
and one which is not without romantic
interest to the suicide"
The mania for mountaineering, ac-
cording to a well-known phrenologist,
is due largely to the shape of mans
head. 1t Is a head which indicates
a love of adventure, Of overcoming
difficulties.
"You always find," said this author
ity, chat in those who have love
for climbing, the lower part OF the
forehead is prominent. This part is
connected with all the observing pow
ers, form, size or color and indicate
resistance"
Any one who is an enthusiast upon
Alpine climbing is, correspondent
declares, suffering from g form of In
sane vanity closely allied to that SO
often found in criminals.
eff" he adds, "the laws could be set
in motion all over Europe to prevent
the spread of this dangerous disease.
by prohibiting the climbing of danger
GUS mountains, there would be no
more useless throwing away of lives In
the Alps.
"I should like to see the mountain
climber (and the English parson is
the most dangerous type) put undor
restraint, like any other harmless
