JUDGE ALDRICH DEAD.
Passed Away Tuesday Morning
at Florence Infirmary.

Florence, December 19:-Judge
Robert Aldrich, after a hard fight
with the ailment that seized him
some weeks ago, died this morning
1t the Florence Infrmary shortly af-
ter o'clock. Upon the advices of
the attending physician and realizing
hat the end of this brave and fear
less man was soon to be reached, his
loved ones who had gathered around
his bedside here for several days
were joined only late last night by
others, and just in time to be pres
ent to see the last vital spark of life
pass out.
Coming to Florence from Ben
nettsville and Darlington, where he
had recently held the winter terms
of the Marlboro and darlington
courts, Judge Aldrich was suffering
from rheumatic fever and from
which he had become considerably
weakened. He went to the Florence
Infrmary, where everything that
could be done by skilled physicians
and nurses was provided, but disease
had already fastened its fangs deep
into his vitals and he was unable to
overcome the ailment as he continu-
ally grew worse until the end came
early this morning.
Judge Aldrich was 81 years old
and had held the office of Judge of
the Second Circuit since January,
1908. His death is sincerely mourned
throughout the State, especially in
Barnwell, his native county.

struck II near the middle and 1t was
gone before Gordon realized what
had happened.
Into inaction. When the structure
had fallen from It's supports and
bouyantly come to the surface after
still clinging to the post. She seemed
to have remained on the top side of
the destroyed structure, and as yet
had not suffered greatly.
The team vas sent flying down a
side road parallel with the stream.
In five minutes Gordon was abreast
OF the swiftly floating bridge. He
leaned out and called at the top of
his voice: "Hold fast I'll get you
off somehow"
The woman waved a hand feebly to
signify that she had heard him. The
team went on at the speed OF the
wind. Half mile down stream he
jerked his horses to sudden stop
and sprang out on the spongy sod
A hundred yards above the bridge
had become entangled in a tree top
and was swinging out Of the main
current toward shore. 1t paused
dizzily in an eddylng circle. Gordon
could see the woman in the same
position that she had at first occupied.
He looked about for material for
an lmprovised raft. Nothing was in
sight and he was about TO pull of his
coat and swim to the rescue when the
bridge again swung out and went on.
Gordon sprang back to his vehicle
and followed in pursuit. calling as he
went: Keep up your courage. there
Is still hope!"
This time there was no response. II
was evident that the strain had been
too great and the woman had lasped
into Inconsistencies. The bridge ca
reened around the bend and once or
twice threatened TO capsize.
Gordon ran along the edge Of the
food, his team following In the more
elevated highway a few yards back
He called encouragement as he ran.
II required so much effort to keep up
With the bridge and its human
freight that he had no time to select
his way through the tangles OF bushes
and briars and in a few moments was
IN sad plight But he kept on with
no thought but the rescue OF the help

a half mile farther on the bridge
grounded against an island Of bushes
on slight elevation. In n moment

dead stop Gordon could see the
