tne Newber,y Bar In Memory ~
Late Srsnogr,pher "f she
seventh Circuit.
A most fitting and appropriate trib-
ute has been paid to the memory of
James D. Campbell, late stenographer
of this, the seventh judicial circuit, by
the members of the Newberry Bar.
Mr.. Campbell was faithful and impair
tial in the performance of duty, and in
his line of work had few superiors in
this country. This fact is evidenced by
the high and responsible position in
which he was placed by the National
Shorthand Association, which position
he held at the time of his death. He
was ever kind and. considerate and cour-
| teous to all with whom he came in con-
tact, and in the whole circuit which ne
served there was scarcely a more popu-
lar man.
On Thursday morning last the reso-
lutions published below were offered
by Hon. Cole. L. Blease, who moved
| that by order of the Court they be
spread upon a page in the journal OF
the Sessions Court, dedicated to the
memory of MI. Campbell. The resolu-
| lions were seconded by Messrs. W. H.
Hunt, o. L. Schumpert, T. S. Sease,
Lewis Simpkins of Laurens, R. H.
| WEIGH, M. M. Buford, and Jno c. Cog
| gans. Judge Buchanan, after adding
his tribute to that paid by the members
of the Bar, granted the order that the
resolutions be spread upon the journal,
and as a further mark of respect, ad,
| journed the Court until 8 p. m.
Following are the resolutions and the
! addresses of the gentlemen secondine
them.
TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.
Whereas, James D. Campbell, late
stenographer of this the Seventh Judi
cial Circuit, has departed this life; and
Whereas, the Newberry Bar desires
to express it's regard for him and its
appreciation of his many virtues, and
especially his fidelity to the duties OF
his high and responsible position; there
fore, be it
Resolved, That in the death of James
D. Campbell the Seventh Circuit has
lost a faithful and efficient officer, and
the State a true and loyal citizen.
Resolved, End, That we recognized in
him qualities of head and heart that
gave promise of a bright future.
Resolved, Sd, That a page in the
Journal of this Court be devoted to his
memory, upon which will be inscribed a
| copy of these resolutions.
Resolved, 4th, That a copy of these
resolutions be published in the county
papers.
HON. COLE. L. BLEASE:
Mr.. Blease, in offering the resolu-
tons, said:
Your Honor, it was my privilege to
know Mr.. Campbell. We always found
him faithful to his duty, true to his
trust, fair and impartial to each and
every n of us. We feel that we are
simply doing our duty when we pay
this respect to his memory, and move
to adopt the resolutions.
COL. o. L. SCHUMPERT:
I was fortunate in being associated
with Mr.. Campbell during his entire
career as stenographer of this circuit,
and under every and all circumstances
1 found him true, loyal, and faithful in
the discharge of his duty, loyal and
faithful to his friends, and I merely
rise, Your Honor, to announce my
hearty concurrence in the resolutions
just offered, and / take pleasure in Sec
onding those resolutions and move to
adopt them.
COL. w. H. HUNT:
feel that it would be improper for
me to keep my seat on this occasion
and not add my testimony to the great
worth of our deceased friend. For ten
years Mr.. Campbell has been with US at
every term of our court. He was al
ways pleasant, he was always cheerful,
he was always accommodating. The
fact is, I don't think I have ever come
in contact with a person who under con-
ditions-trying conditions, that would
ordinarily make an individual p~etulant
and cross, who was always as ready with
a pleasant response to any inquiry, and
always cheerful in giving information
to attorneys and officers of the court in
his line of work. I feel that in his
death this circuit has sustained a dis
tinct loss, the State has lost a true and
loyal citizen, and l feel that it would
be improper for our Bar not to take
some action in regard to his death, and
I heartily second the resolutions.
HON. T. S. SEASE:
am glad to have this opportunity
publicly to express the high esteem
that have always had for Mr.. Camp
bell, and I think that the entire Bar of
