friend, and distinguished brother
member Of our profession.
Only a little while ago, this en-
tire community was inexpressibly
saddened, and the State at large
shocked, as the news went forth
at early morn, that Charles G. Dant,
zler, the able and impartial jurist
the distinguished citizen, the warm
hearted friend and Christian gentle
man was no more.
There have been very few mel
whose death, in this State, In re
cent years, has awakened more pro-
found regret, and caused more uni
versal sadness and sorrow, than thai
of Judge Dantzler, which occurred
at his home, in the city of Orange
burg, S. c., June 20, 1910; and to
those of us, who knew him best, and
loved him most, his death brings the
keenest pangs, and deepest sorrow
Truly a good man has fallen and we
mourn his death.
Charles Glover Dantzler, was born

dency of that distinguished citizen,
Soldier, and Christian gentleman,

their fullest maturity continue 10

In the year, 1871, Judge Dant-
zler. entered Wofford College, and
graduated with distinction from that
institution, in 1875. Soon after this
was admitted to the bar, and prac-
ticed his profession with flattering
success, for about nine years. IN
the year 1884, he began his public
career. In. that year he was elected
by most complimentary vote OF MS
people as a representative from his
native county to the House Of Repre-
sentatives of this State. For six

many positions of honor and trust

ife's highest ideals, and was devoted
md true to his convictions Of duty.
Whether as a private citizen, lawyer
or Statesman, his life exemplified in
fullest measure, all the elements of
he most exalted manhood and Of
he truest nobility, but perhaps 1t
was the judiciary, that his pure life,
oroad culture, and spotless Christian
most adorned. He was in
Iced, as has been so often said, IAN
deal Judge and none ever wore the
Ermine more worthily.
But his life work has ended, and
he has gone out from among US for
ever. Dying he has left his impress
for good among his own community,
his State, and in some measure, upon
The World at large, and
Titles of honor add not to his
worth,
WHO was himself an honor to his
titles

found admiration of our distinguish

of one of it's ablest, most conscien-

and devoted member and friend
who in every relation in life, acted
well his part, and exempiified In the
highest degree, the true nobility to
which manhood may attain.
Resolve 2. That we, the members
Of the Orangeburg Bar. tender to
the family of Judge Dantzler our
