resented the State in cases involving
important public interests and gave
opinions in many matters affecting Of
ficial action. Among the important
cases in which he recently represented
the State was that involving the con-
stitution Of the statute known as the
Brice law'-resulting in victory for
the State and for those who upheld
that law.
Such, very concisely stated has been
the official career Of the distinguished
advocate. In his own practice Mr..
Youmans had, both in the civil anu
the criminal courts, in the supreme
court of the United States and of this
State, as we'll as in the lower courts,
been actively engaged in cass of great
interest and Importance. In every
instance he showed himself to be n
lawyer worthy Of place in the very
front rank of the profession which
he pursued for half century with
honor to it and with credit to himself.

Y i; assured my constituents in the

surely keep any Tolbert out of the
Apoeville postmastership. I did not
IVY that, but promised to keep them,

Senator Penrose had told Senator

SKETCH OF MR.. YOUMANS.
Prepared During Last Summer s Cam
,paign by Mr.. Jno. S. Rey-
nolds.

The following excellent sketch Of
the life work of Gen. Leroy F. You
mans was written by Mr.. John S.
Raynolds of the Columbia bar, who
is an authority on the history Of such
eminent men and by long association
and intimate friendship Y with Mr..
Youmans is fully qualified to speak
Of his worth:
Leroy F. Youmans graduated from
the South Carolina college in 1852,
and was admitted to the bar in 1856.
He entered the military service in the
War Of Secession as first lieutenant
Of company Of mounted riflemen,
from st. Luke s parish, Of which John
H. Screven was captain. His service
in the army continued to the close Of
the war, at which time he was lieu
tenant in Company F of the Third
South Carolina cavalry. Though elect
ed to seat in the house Of represen-
tatives in 1862 and in 1865, he never
availed himself Of the exemption from
military service, which such election
afforded.
In 1866 he was appointed by Gov.
Orr to be solicitor Of the southern cir
cult, was afterwards elected by the
legislature, and held that Office until
displaced, in 1868, by the institution
Of the government organized under
the Reconstruction acts Of congress.
In 1870 an effort was made, in the
"Union Reform movement" to drive
out Scott and his party in control of
the State government, by concilia-
tory and "compromise policy
Judge R. B. Carpenter, Republican,
being the nominee for governor and
Gen. M. G.. Butler that for lieutenant
governor A thorough canvass Of the
several counties was made, and Mr..
Youmans did his share in stumping
the State.
In 1872 Mr.. Youmans located in
Columbia for the practice Of his pro-
fession-having for some years pre-
vious had his office at Edgefield. In
the campaign Of 1875 he took the
stump for the Democratic ticket head
ed by Wade Hampton it was found
necessary to 60 into the State ST.
preme court to protect the interests
and enforce the rights Of the lawfully
elected governor and house Of repres-
entatives Mr.. Youmans was among
the lawyers engaged to present the
novel and difficult legal questions thus
raised. The contest resulted in the
decisions sustaining the legality Of the
"Wal]ace House." holding that Wade
: Hampton was the lawful governor Of
South Carolina, and deciding that D.
! H. Chamberlain, still claiming the
Office, was without authority Of any
sort. 'a .". .....

United States Attorney.


In 1885 Mr.. Youmans was appoint
ed by President Cleveland to be Unit
ed States attorney for the district Of
South Carolina. From the close Of
the Civil war to the time of that ap-
pointment the federal courts in South
Carolina, Notwithstanding the high
character and impartial administra-
tion of the district judge, the Hon.
George S. Bryan, were somewhat in
disrepute-at the best they had not
the conference of the white people,
and were regarded as in some sense
of foreign jurisdiction in which those
people could not expect full justice.
The position Of the district attorney,
when Mr.. Youmans was appointed,
was one Of some delicacy-a part OF
his task being to restore the federal
courts to their rightful position in
the eyes of the white people, to con-
form to the standards followed by
Judge Bryan, and to cooperate with
him in so administering all the feder-
al laws that the courts of the United
States in South Carolina, while do
ing Impartial justice, should again
command the respect and enjoy the
confidence Of all the people. TO this
responsible post, that Of the head Of
the bar in the federal jurisdiction, as
the attorney general is the head of the
bar in the State, Mr.. Youmans so
gave the benefits of his experience,
his learning, and his standards Of Of
ficial duty, as at once to show that he
was the right man in the right place.
His career as United States attorney,
creditable throughout, was ended by
his removal by President Harrison be-
fore the term was out.
Mr.. Youmans sat on the bench In
both the circuit and supreme court,
by special appointment. In those
stations he so conducted himself as to
give entire satisfaction to lawyers
and litigants alike.
On the resignation Of Mr.. Town
send, in 1905, Attorney General Gun,
tor rendered to Mr.. Youmans the post
Of assistant. Accepting the appoint
ment, he entered actively upon his du-
tics--the lamcntable disability Of Mr..
Gunter necessitating the doing Of all
the work by his assistant. Succeed
ing Mr.. Gunter, Mr.. Youmans had
since had charge Of the business Of

rested by federal officers, on the
charge Of having violated those acts
OF congress which purported to pro-
tect the political rights Of the, negro
race-generally called the enforce
ment acts. Several Of the parties
charged were tried in Charleston in
the United States court, Chief Justice
Waite, Circuit Judge Bond and Dis
trict Judge Bryan presiding; the jury
failed to agree. The case was hare,
fought at every stage---important le-
gal and constitutional questions being
raised. Mr.. Youmans was prominent
among the lawyers who gave their
services to the accused in these cases.
His address to the jury in this Ellen
ton caes was noted as one Of the
clearest, strongest and most finished
representations ever heard in any
court house in South Carolina. It was
OF this speech that F. w. Dawson, one
OF the most brilliant and powerful
writer's in the Journalism of this coun
try, wrote at that time:
"The speech Of Mr.. Youmans for
soundness Of reasoning, apt citation
of authority, whitening sarcasm, hap
py illustration literary finish and ear
nest, fervid, overpowering eloquencc,
has seldom been equaled. In his pc
rorationh he made themost eloquent ap-
peal to the jury that has ever been
heard in that court house."
On the same day, r. B. Rhett, Jr.,
editor of the rival Charleston paper,
The journal Of Commerce, said of
the same speech:
by many persons of experience
present, it was said that Mr.. You
mans speech was the finest effort
they had ever heard in a court room.
At the conclusion of his speech there
was that involuntary movement of
the crowd which always follows the
conclusion of strained attention,
which testified mutely but eloquently
to the power which the speaker exer-
cised over thcm.'
While attorney general Mr.. YOU
mans was ordered by the governor Of
the State to appear in the federal
court in defense of certain State elcc-
ton officers, notably in the trial OF
certain citizens Of Richland and Sum
ter. Mr.. Youmans' addresses in the
Acton and Maycsvillc cases were not
ed as among the clearest, strongest
and most finished representations
ever heard in any court house in
South Carolina Of his speech in the
Mayesville case, April 1882, the bril-
liant and accomplished Edward Is.
Murray, whose early death Letters
and Law in South Carolina will long
lament, said in his paper, the Ander-
son Intelligenccr: "For reasoning
power, for thrilling eloquence, for
chasteness of style and composition,
for irresistible force and crushing
criticism, it deserves to rank along
with the best specimens of oratorical
effort in either ancient or modern
times.'

VITALITY THE MAIN THING.
He Who Has 1t Pulls Through, but
the Other Fellow Dies.

He Who Has 1t Pulls Through, but
the other Fellow Dies.
Two men undergo operations of the
same character in Il hospital. The same
surgeon does the work The conditions
are identical. Equal care Is exercised
in each operation, and each Is success
fully performed. Yet one man recov-
ers; the other dies. Or there is ire
mendous business pressure which does
not let up for months. 1t puts the men
under 4 terrible strain. One man goes
to pieces, and his business is wrecked
lie cannot keep the pace; he loses con-
troll Of himself. His rival has no bet
ter brains than he. perhaps not SO
good, yet he pulls through successfully.
We say that there Is a difference in
vitality; that one nun has more Of 1t
than the other.
l once saw man In a hospital who
was suffering from five fatal diseases,
and yet he would not die. He had
kept on living year after year In spite
Of everything. He refused to succumb
We find the same thing illustrated ev,
cry day. In a shipwreck there are men
who seem to give up their lives with
out struggle, without any power to re-
sist; others cling to an open raft for
days without food, almost frozen, con-
stantly whipped by the waves but for
some reason or other they survive. The
vitality in them is strong.
Notice how rapidly and surely one
man RECEIVERS himself after a nervous
breakdown while another drags along
through years of semi-invalidism. No
tice the results upon two men of long
cold drench of rain. One of them
comes down with pneumonia; the other
suffers no i'll effects. How is it to be
explained?
He has reserve sOmewhere-an in
ner power Of resistance, an aggressive
something that will not be downed.
We call it vitality. A man can't have a
more valuable asset than that. 1t
means Joy instead Of dumps, success
instead of failure, life perhaps instead
of death.-Luther II. Gulick, NJ. D., In
Worlds Work.
