About eleven O'Clock Tuesday, December
2S, 1908, General Robert r. Hemphill breathed
his last at bis home In this city.
General Hemphill has been IN declining
health for some time, and for the past rev
months has been confined TO bis home.
From the nature of bis disease death was ex.
pected at any time, yet his family and friends
were hopeful until almost suddenly the end
came. How gratifying to know that once
more on earth he had the pleasure OF seeing
bis children and grandchildren sropnd the
HON circle, but alas! the joys OF this world
are feeting, and sooner than expected ne was
removed from this happy scene.
For many years General Hemphill has
been chief editor of the Abbevllle Medium:
and as journalist he welded forceful ana
ready pen, backed by brilliant plpd: he
was great reader and kept abreast OF the
times In all topics and current events OF tne
day and times. In all Of which ne wa. was
thoroughly posted, especially In the polltical
world, In which be was, and has been lor
many years, prominent factor, not only IN
Abbeville county, but in the State as well, al
all times serving with distinction ana aoii'
ity In any position to which he was cal!eo.
Truly It might be said OF him "he was tne
peoples man" for he had great following,
being elected and reelected time and again

The Hunting Season.

It talmost goes yithont saying that
If birds, game and fish are worth pre-.
serving, then they must be intelligent
ly looked after. andto do this entails
expense. How shall this. expense be
met? The question has been agita--
ted for a long time, and the net result
is that all States and countries that
are preserving game have tadotpedy the
license system. None has ever aban-
doned 1t. This universal experience
ought to weigh nightly In determfn-
ing q States polio. s. q
Fortunately for South Carolina,
game protection is undertaken at p
time when the State has the benefit
of observing the operation of this, Ill
cense system ,as~H has operated in
other. States, and can profit by their
experience with abundant opportuni-
ty for improving on their Systems.
There is, no need of long and costly
experiment. E5
Outside Of what has been done at
the North and in the West, many
Southern States have, adopted the plan
of putting a license on hunters, 1:
Among these are Florida, Aiabams,
Mississippi, Loufsapa, Texas and Ar
kansas. In. these atha conditions are
fairly similar to- the conditions. in
South Carolina, and In Mississippi
they are almost exactly the same
The plan, as proposed by the tAudu.

be carried out In this wise. Upon
passage Of an Actby the General AS

Yesterday when the Rev Dr. Charles NJ.

Church. Germantown spoke on The
Science Of Prayer" The sermon followed a
short address on the value Of the meetings
by Secretary f. B. Tihbitts.
The sermon was a plea FOR knowledge
rather than belief. The time was past for
believing only. the time for knowing had
arrived and Christians should know that
their Redeemer lived rather than to mere
ly believe in his existence.
The relationship of men with the Deity
was that indicated by the opening word
of Our Lords prayer "Our Father" Dr.
seasholes thought that although prayer
was essential ia illness. Christian Science
was too narrow and that prayer should he
used IN conjunction with other mode.
