LEARNED DIVINE DIR. WILSON.
The Accomplishments of Lamented
Minister Told.

The following notice of the death
of DR.. James Herbert Wilson, OF
South Carolina, is taken from Tne
Lutheran OF Philadelphia.
THE death of DR.. James Herbert
Wilson, D. D., removed from earthly
activities one of the foremost leaders
in our church in the South. He was
taken suddenly i'll while apparently
enjoying his usual coed health. and
died within few hours of severe
heart attack, July s, at Sumter. =
CDR. Wilson was born April Is,
1854, at Williamson. His parents,
Delaney Lane Wilson, NJ. D., and
Hannah Barrett Wilson, both died in
1857, leaving their younger children
to the care of foster parents. James,
at the age of three, was cared for in
the home of Mrs. Kerr, in Saluda
(then Edgefeld) county. Although
his parents had been Baptists, he
grew to manhood amid Lutheran
faith, and was ever its stanch de-
fender. His desire for an education
was gratifed by his foster parents
sending him to Newberry College as
a member of the class Of TT. He
was awarded the college oratorical
medal for an address on The Human
Face unexcelled in college annals
for uniqueness, beauty of thought
and eloquence. He completed his
course at the Theological seminary,
Salem, Va, in 1880, and was ordain-
ed by the South Carolina Synod in
November of the same year. His
ministry of SO years included the
following pastorates: Early Branch,
1SS0-S3; Cameron, 1883; Ehr-
hardt 1SSS-1902; Salisbury, 1902
OF; Orangeburg, 1910-13; Sumter,
1914-I9. He also served as the flnan-
ciaI agent of the Salem Orphan
Home, 1907-0S, in the canvass for
the cancellation of a debt of $4,000;
and in a similar connection with
Marion College, 1913-14. He was a
member of the board of trustees of
Newberry College, and also served
on the board of Mont Amoena Semi
nary while he was member of the
North Carolina synod. AS men,
Der of the board Of directors
of the Southern Theological Sem
mary he served as its presi-
dent. Newberry College conferr-
ed on him the A. NJ. degree in
1880, and that of doctor of divinity
in 1905.
CDR: Wilson was president of the
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1919-08-14

South Carolina Synod for two terms.
On the floor of synod no member sur
passed him in his grasp of conditions,
and he carried his knowledge into ef-
feet along with his splendid executive
ability. He was able to narrate with
marvellous accuracy the most minute
details of complex issues and difficult
questions which concerned the synod.
He was firm but fair in his
convictions and commanded the
respect and confidence of the
entire synod. His influence eX-
tended beyond synodical bounds
70 the general body, to which
he was sent as delegate more often,
perhaps, than any other pastor.
"Companionship with DR.: Wilson
was the delight of his friends and
Pensioners. Modesty was one of his
chief virtues as minister and man.
His sermons bore the imprint of
earnest preparation and thoughtful
ness of the needs of the people. The
gospel of his Lord and Savior was his
theme, and he made it the pattern of
his own life.
"In 1879 he married Miss Mary l..
Dunlop, of Salem, Va. She died in
1898. He also lost a son, Robert
Dunlop, in 1917. One son and three
daughters survive-Lawrence L., of
Palmetto, Fla; Mrs. G. E. Belts and
Miss Harriet B. Wilson, Atlanta, Ca,
and Miss Pauline Wilson, Mortified,
Mass. Services we're held at his late
home in Sumter, July II, where he
was pastor of St. James church. Ad-
dresses were made by NJ. O. J. Kreps,
D. D., president of the board of direc-
tors of the Southern Theological
Seminary; A. G. Voigt, D. D., IL. D.,
dean of the seminary, and H. A. Nc
Cullough, D. D., pastor of St. Pauls
church, Columbia, all Of whom testl-
fled to the character and eminent
services of DR.. Wilson. DR.. Brunson,
OF the Sumter Baptist church, paid a
beautiful tribute on behalf of the
Sumter Ministerial Association OF
which DR.. Wilson was president at
the time of his death. declaring that
he was loved and admired by the
entire community without regard to
creed, and that his simple faith in
Christ had made a profound impress
sion upon the entire city.
s'The final service was held Sunday,
July 13, at Mt. Pleasant church, Ehr-
hardt, S. c., amidst the scenes of his
longest pastorate. The service was
in charge of DR.. Kreps, assisted by
the pastor loci, P. D. Risinger. S. w.
Copeland, former parishioner, bore
tender testimony to the virtues of his
pastor and friend. Here in the

labor performed for the current rate in that locality It may be the custom in certain locality for work to be performed for nine or ten hours, and the prevailing wage in that locality may be paid on that basis, but the state requires of it's agents and subdi- visions that this prevailing rate must be paid to employees for eight hours of labor. The statute leaves it optional with the state or it's political subdi- vision as to the amount of wages actu- ally to be paid, provided that it shall not be less than the prevailing wage in the locality where the work is per formed. In doing this the legislature pensation commensurate with the work performed.
 The provision that such scale of wages must be paid, and that the num- Der of hours of labor shall be so limit ed, is also applied to contractors or sub b-contractors in the execution of any contract or contracts with the state, or with any political subdivision of the state. The reason for this is obvious, the work done is none the less public work, performed by the state, though it may be done by private contractor. It is the nature of the work, and not the character of the agent, that determines, and it belongs to the state to prescribe the conditions upon which it will per init public work to be done on it's be- half, or on behalf of it's municipali- ties

ESCAPED CONVICT
 TAKEN O|v COAST

Carl Du Vey. who recently Tit out" from Florence. has been captured in Los Angeles, according to advices re- ceived here, and will be returned to the prison.
 Du Vey, who is said to have a long record as petty thief and second-class burglar, was sent up from this county for seven years for the theft of bicy- cle.
 The story of his escape is unusual, almost unique. In addition to his other accomplishments, Du Vey is an expert barber Now, it seems that the town of Florence, a short time ago. was in need of the services of a talented ton sorial artist, and, therefore, having learned of Du Vey's talent, a petition was framed asking that the man be paroled on his honor not to leave town, and allowed to operate shop. This clemency was extended by the authorities and Du Vey became the more or less official town barber.
 But the climate palled upon him, or, perhaps, there were the alleged attrac- tions of the reputed night life of Los Angeles. Whatever the cause, he took the opportunity to "fly the coop" and the next that was heard of him after the general alarm went out was of his capture in the Angel City.

MAY NOT W0RkMENM MORE
 THAN 8-HR. DAY

That the state may not work men more than eight hours on public work, that they must be paid the going rate in the community regardless Of whether the going rate is based on a custom of eight hours or more, and that the same rule applies to all po- litieal subdivisions of the state, coun- ties, cities, towns and so forth, is the gist of an opinion rendered yesterday by F. J. K Mcbride of the attorney gen. erals staff of assistants in reply to an inquiry from Hywel Davies, federal mediator for this district.
 The law quoted is the Arizona stat ute, which is very explicit in the above matters, and in addition specifies that only American citizens or those who have declared their intention to be- come such may be employed.
 Commenting on the law, MT. Me- Bride states, in part:
 "The statute is very explicit in it's terms. The hours of labor are limited to eight for each calendar day. The wage to be paid for the eight hours of labor is to be not less than the cur rent rate of per diem wages in the To- cality where the work is performed, regardless of the number of hours of
