Retreat, Neveri

In an Irish garrison town theat-
rical company was giving perform
ances, and some soldiers from the To-
cal barracks were engaged to act as
supers. Their duties included the
waging Of a fierce fight in which,
after a stirring struggle, one army
was defeated on a given signal from
the prompter. For few nights all
went we'll, but on the Friday even
ing special performance Of the
piece was to be given under the pat
ronage of the colonel and other Off
GERS Of the garrison. The two armies
met as usual at the end Of the second
act. when they fought and fought and
kept on fighting, regardless Of the
agonized glare in the eye of their
(actor) general, who hoarsely order
ed the proper army to ''Retreat, con-
found you!' But the fight still went
on, and soon the mortified manager
saw the wrong army being driven
slowly off the stage, still fighting
DESPERATELY. Down came the curtain
amid roars Of laughter, and the fun
ing manager hastened to ask the de-
.linquents why they failed to retreat
on hearing the signal.

JUDGE THOS. S. SEASE.
Took The Oath Of Office as Judge
Of Seventh Circuit-Newberry
Boy.

mos. >. ScaSe, lallEe OIL New
berry and for many years Il success
full solicitor, in fact one Of the best
in the State. Yesterday took the oath
Of office as judge of the seventh cir
cult. He was elected solicitor Of the
seventh circuit while residing in
Newberry. Later he moved to Spar
tanburg and when Newberry was
placed in the 9th circuit he remained
solicitor Of the 9TH.
At the recent session Of the legis-
lature he was elected circuit judge to
succeed Judge Hydrick who was made
associate justice of the Supreme
Court.
The following tribute from Judge
Memminger, who is holding court at
Spartanburg, Mr.. Sease's last court
as solicitor, will be read with pleas
ure by Mr.. Sease's many friends in
this county:
Judge Memmingor, in speaking to
the grand jury at the opening Of the
general sessions court, paid high
compliment to Solicitor Sease and
gave due praise to his splendid rec
ord as solicitor Of the seventh judi
cial circuit. His remarks were as
follows:
"During the week as you know,
gentlemen, Mr.. Solicitor Sease retires
from that office, during the term of
which he has accumulated store of
honor and has become a power for
law and order in this circuit. As a
fit result and elimination Of those
services. he has been chosen to be a
circuit judge; as one among the
twelve of us who in turn are over
this state, have given to US by the
people of the state, the power Of life
and death and the melting out OF that
most serious of all human preroga-
tives, criminal punishment, which ci-
vilized society must of necessity for
its own preservation and protection,
lodge somewhere, and seeks to lodge
only in those in whom it can have the
utmost confidence. We feel sure that
in the larger and perhaps more dlt-
ficult sphere of official administra-
ton the people of this county as
we'll as of the whole state will have
cause to be as proud of Mr.. Sease as
judge as they must Of necessity have
been Of Mr.. Sease as solicitor"
"Mr. OTIS Of Cherokee, will as you.
know, take up the work Of solicitor
under appointment Of our governor
recently made and announced. We
wish and have cause to expect OF him
earnest and efficient work. You will
accord him that attention and re-
spect to which the high responsible
ties Of his office entitle him. We
trust and confidently hope that 1t
will prove to be- true that in this case
"the mantle of Elijah shall have fall
len upon the shoulders of Elisha -
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1909-04-16

The Spartanburg Herald has the
following to say editorially:
"Judge Memminger's tribute to
Solicitor Sease upon the eve Of Mr..
Sease's retiring from that office to
become circuit judge, is entirely ap-
propriate and expressive Of the SEN
timent of that county and the entire
seventh circuit. Solicitor Sease has
been a "power for law and order"
and his ability as prosecuting at
torney is thoroughly understood and
respected wherever he has appeared
in behalf Of the State.
"May the same good sense and
high principle that has characterized
his course as solicitor attend him
throughout his career on the circuit
bench. There is work for such men
on the circuit bench in South Caro-
lina.'

THE PRIESTS OF IRELAND.

No body of ecclesiastics in the world
has been SO traduced and misrepre-
scented as the Catholic priests OF Ire
land. The lying press of England has
denounced them for their activity in
the political affairs of their native
land. and declared that the Irish peo-
pie have been priest ridden and kept
in ignorance by them. The Irish peo-
pie know better and resent the calum-
ny. In the day Of distress, the priests
of Ireland have never deserted the
people. In the days of persecution, at
the risk of their lives. they stayed
with the people and did everything
possible for the spiritual and temporal
welfare of the flocks committed to
their care. At all times, the priests
and people have been united, and the
power Of England has never been able
to separate them.
During the agitation for Catholic
emancipation, the priests Of Ireland
stood shoulder to shoulder by O'Con-
nell and without their aid he could
not have extorted partial justice from
the British government. In the days
of Parnell, the Catholic priests stood

is BOSTON WORTH WHILE?

An esteemed afternoon city cOntem-
the Boston Herald. and proceeds in its
own inimitably facetious way to poke
fun at the Hub, winding up its pleas
antries with the following sentence:
We are seriously of the opinion that
if 1t We're not for Lynn Haven oysters
and the girl with specs, Boston could
hear? Lynn Haven oysters!" Must
he a brand new variety of the succu-
lent bivalve! Perhaps our esteemed
ncigllbor is thinking of the far famed
oysters of Lynn Haven Bay. down on
the Virginia coast near Hampton
Roads. Some years ago when the cable
flashed the glad tdings to our shores
that an American horse had won the
Grand Prix" in Paris, Senator Beck
of Kentucky was especially eiated Inn
mcdiatcly sunmoning page he sent
monds. of Vermont, who carefully read
the telegram. and then crossed the
chamber to Mr.. Becl1s seat holding the
telegram in his hand. At his approach
tho Ashland sage arose with features
all aglow and exclaimed: We'll. Ed
monds isn't that glorious? An the
blood of Lexington will tell" The
great Vermonter bowed in assent. and
then quickly inquired: WAS Licking
ton a. trotter?" Beclls chin suddenly
dropped Then regarding the Yer
mont senator with profound disgust he
slowly repeated the question: WAS
Lexington a trotter?" Senator" he
continued: when you mako that prom
ised visit to me in Kentucky. after
you cross the Ohio never let an. body
know it might not be safe-that you
We're ever ignorant of the fact as to
whether Lexington was II trotter!"
Now. we hope that one of the good
things still in store for our disting-
uished confrere is a dish of Lynn
Haven Bay oysters under the best con-
ditions-close to their native habitat
but we advise him not to let any Vir-
ginian know that he ever supposed
that the unrivalled product of the "Old
Dominion" came from the vicinity OF
Boston. It might not be safe!

During the past year, $4,000 Ameri-
cans crossed over to Canada to settle
on the virgin soil of that British de-
tendency. Ex-Governor Folk OF Mis-
souri,, thinks that these Americans will
soon demand Canadian annexation to
the United States. He is mistaken.
The class of Americans going into
Canada are no great lovers of the
United States, or they would not leave
the republic and swear allegiance to
the British king and his Union Jack
for the sake Of a cheap farm. The
most of these emigrants are Americans
only in name, and their demand for
annexation would be UNDECIDED oy the
patriotic citizens who glory in the
Stars and Stripes.
