 luck for the consequences. It is grati- fying to note that all surgeons in this country accord to Dr. Davis full credit for this distinct advance in this very difficult field of surgery. Our foreign confreres through their ignorance of our literature have not made the acknoledg- ment due him, This signal observation of pr. Davis places his name along with Bobb. Simms and Tate in the history of the surgery of gall stone, which in itself is sufficient to immortalize the man. Hepatic surgery was a favorite field of study and practice with our colleague, and his sudden taking off leaves incom- plete his book upon this subject. Who can doubt that it would have been a prized contribution to our literature?
 Forcefu Man.
 Tn all things Dr. Davis was a forceful man, but in nothing was this character istic so strongly brought out as in our society debates. His advocacy of any cause was fearless. Quick to challenge all questionable statements, he would yield with sweetness and grace when in error Intellectually combative and pugnacious, he spoke with candor and truth, and would tolerate nothing less in his adversary. His oratOry was al- ways serious and intense, at times elo- quent, but not ornate. To him our society proceedings was too important a matter for frivolity, and as secretary, he would insist upon expunging from the minutes all things irrevelant or improper. How frequently have we seen him rise and remind us that i've are making history; we are writing book"
 For fourteen years this man labored for a definite purpose; and it is gratify- ing to know that he lived to see the realization of his hopes. Beyond this. his labor was unrequited Should we not as a body. give expression to our ap- proval and appreciation of his efforts in some becoming way? Our colleague was a provident man; his family are not in need of financial aid. but let us extend to the bereaved widow what she will value more-assurance of our sympathy and abiding interest To his brother, our colleague, we offer the hand of true friendship and encourage him to main- tain the high name that they together have won.

That is charity exemplifed it was on Friday, the day of the week when the sisters do the sewing, patching and mending for their charges, after school hours.

Upon asking the sisters many questions for you know they are close to us all, l ascertain ed that the institution was mainly sup ported by contributions; that number of kind ladies of the different denominations in the city were at work soliciting for this worthy cause.

 When the tanner enters a den of wild beasts the animals fawn at his feet, meas uring his whip with crafty eyes and won- dering whether they dare to spring. So the grizzled man-eaters of the republican national committee have crouched at the feet at Theodore Roosevelt, glancing fur lively at the whip of the Presidency, but for which they would pick their master S political bones.

 When he was barely of age, it occurred to certain politicians that young MT. Roosevelt would be a handy instrument to use In downing their opponents in fac tional row. They regretted the idea later. as other politicians have done since in

 As we recall the personality and the incidents in his career, we are almost per suaded that the life of Dr. Davis was set aside for a special work, and richly endowed with the attributes for its ac- eomplishment It is easy to point out here and there other southern surgeons possessing surpassing qualifications in limited lines of work; but view this life in it's totality as it evolved from it's crude state amid discouraging surroundings, shackled with poverty, without facilities save of his own making, unbaffled, he worked on and yet ere he had reached his 10th year, he was rich in professional honors and dear to the hearts of his peo- pie. Surely this is success. Parallels there may be, but 1 know none such Elias Davis was the foremost surgeon of the south. He came upon the sphere of action twenty years ago; and, as a master mason is chosen to square the corners and bridge the arches in our architectural piles, so he, the master workman in our profession, was appointed to construct the southern corner of the magnificent edifce of national medical science.
 For him our profession knew no sec tonal limitations. From the half dozen members of the Alabama Surgical and Genealogical association, there evolved the Southern Surgical and Genealogical association, geographically limited for time, by Mason and DiXon's line Now, we are a national body, and to his wis dom, activity, tact and courage we owe our present renown.
 Spirit of Elias Davis.
 Whether l speak to you as citizen or man of science, 1t matters not. We are gathered from all parts of the union with common and single purpose-the ad- vancement of science in the cause of humanity. No sectional lines divide us, no populstic theories infest us, no dreams of free coinage allure us, no problems of the races perplex us. Be you Puritan or Cavalier, New Yorker or Floridian, l say to you in the language of the great Lamar, My countrymen, know one an- other and you will love one another" This was the spirit of Elias Davis He loved the south and her people, he never wearied of singing the name and fame of her medical heroes. He was not con- tent that the south should be known by few ilustrous names that lowered like Alpine heights above all others. He strove to place southern surgery upon so high plain that none could shadow. He played the same part though upon diff ferently appointed stage, essayed by the immortal Grady and l say to you, he would have been known to the world as a patriot had not been known as some thing greater-a physician.

Honey BY the Ton.

W. Fl. Ford, of Taylor township,
has the Tribune's thanks for a liberal
supply of fresh honey which is a de.
liclcy that few people could fail to
enjoy. Mr.. Ford's crop of honey this
year will be considerably more than
a ton and it is of the very best quail
ity.
Eight years ago he got his start in
the honey business, by hiving a stray
swarm of Italian bees that had taken
up their abode in an old sycamore
tree near his house. The original
swarm multiplied until he had a full
fiedged apiary on his farm, but the
number was subsequently reduced to
seven hives by the severe cold a
couple of winters ago.
At the beginning of this sum-
mer Mr.. Ford had forty hives, which
are now increased to l39, some OF
them containing several swarms.
For a time Mr.. Ford was unable to
secure hives as fast as the bees
swarmed.
The season has been an extraordi.
nary one for making honey.
