The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1915-05-19


Senator, Major Louis Applet.
The writer first met Mr.. Applet
to know him well at the home of
his father, the late Arthur Har-
vim many years ago when Maj.
Applet was then a candidate for
Probate Judge for Clarendon
Twenty four years ago it was
my pleasure to render Maj. Ap-
peIt favor for which-the writer
has ever since been assured OF
the lasting gratitude and appr e.
citation by the subject of this ar
ticle, and it is ever a reminder
of the truesness of that saying.
81 expect to thru this world but
once, any good thing therefore
that I can do, or any kindness
that I may show any fellow hu-
man being, let me do it now, let
me not defer nor neglect it, for
there is an all wise Providence
who rules over all who has de-
creed that I shall not pass this
way again" From former por
litical opponents, from every
source the writer hears the
highest praises of the many
virtues of our dead Senator. A
kind hearted generous father, a
devoted husband, a statesman,
journalist and a devoted friend
of struggling humanity has gone
to his eternity amoug loved ones
of other years to await the ar.
rival OF those of coming years.
4 quote from poem dedicated to
my father by Prof. Francis
Nicholas Crouch, auther of Kath-
leen Mauvorneen.
To the far beyond be has gone
Where men of his record are known;
With the angels of light,
Gently: guiding his fight
To the Heavenly rest he has won-
His nature WAS man of true worth,
Appointed by God at his birth
To be friend and beloved.
Wheresoever he moved,
The model for man while on cath.
The beyond, his ambition, his goal,
By serapha transported his soul,
Through the assure above,
Where the Holy is love.
Points! enters his name on the roll.
Removed from the world robed in grace
His spirit wondering thru space,
That bourne, promised haven
The good and forgiven,
Tranquility Happiness-Peace
May we meet after life fickers out,
And hear the fond welcoming sheut
My brother l am meeting!
With blessings and greeting!
While rejoicing, all Heaven rings out.
Just two weeks before Sena-
tor Applet was last i'll he was
the guest of the writer at din
ner in Sumter at the Claremont
Hotel, and knowing that I dab
undergone several surgical op-
erations, and forced by necessity
to another this summer, he told
me then that it was inevitable
that he would have to 60 through
the terrible ordeal, and there
arose Immediately a feeling of
mutual sympathy W h i c h
strengthened the ties of genial
friendship, and we often on pre-
yious occasions commisserated
with each other over our kin
dred fates and misfortunes, and
added that he then knew how to
sympathize with me in my
trouble and affection, and low
that fate has decreed that he
should proceed me to that
bouvne from whence no traveller
returns, it if indeed pleasing and
agreeble to record in the COL
umns of The Times,my sinrere
sentiments of commendation and
praise of his life works, and the
aid he unostentaciously render
ed to the real needy among his
fellows. If the public will par
don, and can claim the priv
ilege of personal mention, the
Hon. Abe Levi told me on the
day that Senator Appelt's earth
ly remains were placed to their
final resting in the land of his
adoption, that he knew TO
thousands of instances where
Major Applet had rendered de-
