The Passing
Sunday Show
Sizing up the Nationalities of the
Marchers by the Way They
Lift Their Feet.

A few Sundays ago the Close OBJ
server was in colloquial mood as he
stood watching the inmates do their
usual Sunday stunt in the yard. Speak
ing to the officer who was with him, he
said:
"How easy it is to tell to which par
ticular race man belongs simply by
watching him walk 1 believe l could
tell every mans lineage if l could not
see any more of him than his legs and
feet as he walked past me-.
"Take for instance that man with the
bald head and pronounced Celtic fea-
lures, marching in 'front.' Look at his
feet! You can tell he is>a Hibernian
without half trying Look how care
lessIy his shoes are tied; see his inde-
pendent, jerky walk; see the wrinkles
in the bottom of his trousers; they look
as though they had been recently rolled
up. He doesn't really know it, but he
is actually going through the same
maneuvers his ancestors did years ago
as they plodded in their unlaced bro
gans through the peat bogs of Ould
Ireland.
"See that Telton tooter. Cover up
his embonpoint and you can tell by the
stiffness in his ankles that he is Kai-
ser. That comes from wearing wooden
shoes in the beet fields of the Fader-
land.
"See that dark complexioned person
there. You can tell at glance that he
is Southern chef. He throws his feet
on the ground with the same tloppy
motion that he turns over pancake.
cit is the same with all. The Latins
! handle their feet with cautiousness
that plainly shows they are more ac-
customed to going barefoot.
"That man with the Indian blood in
his veins glides silently along as though
he were still wearing moccasins.
"See Ole standing there. If you
should touch him suddenly on the back
he would turn clear around and face
you without moving his feet and it
would probably be some little time De-
/ fore he re Alized that he had ordinary
shoes and not snowshoes on his feet.
"Look at Yon plodding along there
with bis legs spraddled out. He thinks
he is still wearing felt sox and reindeer
skin boots with the hair on.
"NOw take that little fellow on the
tail end. See the unusually long, de-
liberate strides he takes. The most
casual observer should be able to tell
that he is the son of German banker"
allows that ?" asked the officer who
J was standing near.
J "Why, that's easy" said the Close
Observer. EVERY time he lifts his
, foot from the ground he remembers
that sage advice of one of his old an
cestors: Take longer steps, son, and
YOU Won't year out your shoos so qvick.'
At this juncture the colloquy became
soliloquy and foated away on the
morning breeze.

BAILEY CASE
 IS REVERSED

The supreme court on yesterday handed down an opinion in the suit of J. I. Case Threshing Ma chine Company vs. J. C. Bailey and B. D. Woodward, an appe al from the Faulkner chancery court, holding that the decision of the lower court in this case was erro neous, and reversing the case with directions to enter a decree for the plaintiff.
 This suit grew out of the pur- chase of a traction engine by Bailey and Woodward from the threshing machine company. Up- on suit being brought by the com pany to collect the notes given for the purchase money of the engine it was claimed by the defendants that they were defrauded into pur- chasing the engine by the false statements of the agents of the company, and that the engine was worn out, broken down and worth less. The chancellor found In fa vor of Bailey and Woodward, and rendered a decree cancelling the notes which they had given for the engine and also the mortgage securing same.
 Justice Battle rendered the opin- ion of the supreme court, holding that the defendants had accepted the machinery, and having bought same under a contract which spe- officially stated that 1t was second hand machinery, and not warranted, they could not now complain of the condition of the engine.
 Bailey and Woodward were rep resented by G. w. and J. c. Clark, and the threshing machine com- pany by Frauenthal & Robins.

South, in addition to a number of
detectives, are searching for Foy W.
Dulaney, the missing Circuit Court
Clerk of Washington County, Ten
nessee, who suddenly disappeared
from his home nearly three weeks
ago. Warrants have been issued for
his arrest on a charge of embezzle-
ment. 1t Is believed that he Is near
ly $4,000 short as clerk. He left
other indebtedness of probably $780,
600.
It is singular coincidence that
Dulaney's stenographer, a pretty
blaek-haired girl, left Johnson City
the day before he was missing, and
has not been heard from since. Du-
laney left note saying he was go
Ing away to try his fortune else
where, and if left alone would, If
possible, pay back his shortage.
Dulaney has wife and one child
here. He is believed to have gone

SOLDIER AND JURlST
The Venerable Man Was Visiting His
Daughter When the End Of His
Long and Useful Career Ended
Body Shipped to His Home at Ben
nettSville for Interment.
nettsville for Interment.

Joshua Hilary Hudson, lawyer,
Judge, teacher, State Senator, and
Veteran of the civil war, one of the
most distinguished men in South
Carolina, died shortly after noon
, Thursday in Greenville at the home
! of his daughter, Mrs. William A.
Williams.
Death wasfdue to Bright's disease
which had confined him to his room
and bed for the past two weeks. His
last public appearance as speaker
/ was at the meeting. Of the State Press
Association when he delivered a
short impromptu address,. At that
time he appeared to be in the best
of health.
Several weeks ago he left his
home at Bennettsville to visit his
! daughters at Greenville, and during
large part of the time he spent In
Greenville he complained of feeling
i'll, and for the last few days his
family and friends have been ex-
pecting the end. He was totally
blind during the last hours of his
illness.
Judge Hudson is survived by the
following children: Mrs. William A.
Williams, and Mrs. A. A. .Bristow,
of Greenville,, and Mrs. J. l.. Jordan
and Mrs. w. R. Grassland, Of Ben
nettsville.
The interment. was at Bennetts-
Vile, the remains were taken to that
place on the train leaving Greenville
at noon Friday. Members of the
Greenville Bar Association will act
as honorary escort for the body when
it is removed from the residence OF
Mrs. Williams to the Charleston and
Western Carolina railroad station.
Judge Hudson was one of the
ablest lawyers, as we'll as one OF
the most prominent and highly re-
garded citizens, of the Palmetto,
State. He was president of the State.
Bar Association at one time, and!
| South Carolina has produced few
members of the legal profession who
stood higher in the estimation Of the
people.
He was a lifelong and consistent
members of the Baptist denomina-
ton and, as in affairs Of State, his
advice in church councils was always
respected and generally followed.
In 1897 Judge Hudson wrote his
autobiography for THE Bench and
Bar of South Carolina" by Col
Brooks, in which he graphically but
modestly portrayed the struggles Of
his early life.
