Native of Union
Judge Gage was born February 4,
1886, near Fairforcst, Union county,
S. G. His parents were Robert j. and
Martha (Wiliams) Gage. His father
was planter who was noted for his
kindness of heart, cleanncSS of in
tcllcct and sound Judgment He was
a member Of the general assembly
from Union county and i'm 1883 he
served on the board Of visitors Of the
South Carolina Military academy.
His mother, though an invalid nearly
all her life, was q woman of fine in
tcllcctuai cndOwmcntS, remarkable
social charms and deep piety. She
was great help to ncr children in
their studies, even after they reached
the higher grades, and was kind and
helpful to all to whom she could rem
der service.
The first patcrnaI ancestor in this
country was John Gage, who came
from C0leranc, Ireland. His father
was Robert Gage, who lived and died
nj the old country. John Gage locat-
ed in Philadelphia in 1900, and two
years later removed to Union, S. c.
He was the father Of Robert J. Gage
On the maternal side, the first anccs-
tor in America was Richard Will
liams, who came from Galmorgan-
shire, Wales, and was living in Taun-
ton, Mass, in 1887 Edward Williams
father of Martha Williams Gage, was
fifth in the line Of descent from him
For a long period this branch of
the Williams family resided in Maine
and several Of it's members were
prominent in public affairs.
In childhood and youth George
Gage lived in the country. His health
was delicate, but his tastes were fol

outdoor work and sport, and being
much in the open air gave him in
creased bodily vigor. The dcvasta-
tion caused by the Confederate
war placed the family in limited
circumstances and made it necessary
for him, at a comparatively early age,
to take up the various kinds of work
which boy on the farm is able to
perform. This experience taught him
the value Of doing things for ones
self" and proved of great benefit in
later years. From 1864 to 1871 he
attended the inferior schools which
at that time the country supplied In
the year last named he entered Wof-
ford college from which institution
he was graduated in the summer of
the following October he entered the
employ of the Carolina Savings bank
of Charleston, where he remained for
three years. Afterward he studied
la wat Vanderbilt university from
which institution he was graduated
in 1880 with the degree of LII. b. I'M
mcdiatcly after his graduation he OPP
cncd law ojce in Chester For a
time he was associated with his uncle
by marriage the late Giles j. Pat
terson, and the late #. G. Castor, and
afterward for several years with j.
x. Henry. His natural ability,
thorough preparation and excellent
judgment soon won him a large and
lucrative practice. In 1898 he was
elected circuit judge to succeed
Judge !. ID. Witherspoon Of York.
and was reelected by the legislature
in 1906. He served as circuit Judge
until January Is, 1914, when he was
elected associate justice Of the su-
prcmc court which Office he has ably
filled for the past seven years The
political honors that have come to
him are those Of member of the Ches-

ter city council, '8Sq; presidential
elector, 1888; member of the State
Constitutional convention, 1885, and
member of the state legislature, 1897.
Chose Profession Early
His principal difficulties in acquir-
ing an education came from the
necessity of strict economy. During
the five years in college his expenses
were only $l,100. The books which
he has found most helpful in fitting
him for and aiding him in the work
of life he named as the Bible, works
or history, psychology, biography
and law. His first strong impulses
to strive for the prizes he has won
came from his admission to college
at the age of Is, and day spent in a
court room at Spartanburg about
1873. He was left free to choose his
profession and his purpose to study
law was formed during his second
year in college. In estimating the
relative strength of various innu-
enccs which have helped him in at
tanning success he named those Of
home first. He stated that his moth
er eXerted a strong and inspiring in
ilucnce upon his life, and that his
parents had almost constantly at
Their country home men and women
OF culture and character. Next came
the influence of college, especially
Tor its bringing him into contact with
DR., Carlisle, who then became
and who remained until his death a
great force in his life. Since mar
riagc his wife has been most en-
couraging and helpful.
Loved Home Life.
Judge Gage never joined any fra
ternal order of social clum, finding
his best entertainment with his
family, his books and his friends. In
politics he was lifelong Democrat.
Ills religious affiliation is the Meth

has never paid attention to athletics,

The Middle Aces RevaIued,

One of the most notable changes in
the perspective of modern thought Is
a revaluation of the Middle Ages. They
have long been popularity regarded as
the Dark Ages. This tradition is one
of those half-truths that have been
learned by rote and repeated so often
that they are taken for granted.
But further study and investigation
have compelled change of Judgment.
Not only during the period commonly
called the Dark Ages did the human
spirit reach supreme triumphs in the
fields of art and architecture, but the
brush of Titan and the pen of Dante,
plumb a depth of social thought and
experience that has hardly been sur
passed.
Moreover, it is now realized that out
of these so-called Dark Ages came the
great tidal waves or modern industri-
alism, the beginning of free city life,
and the quest for political and social
rights. In spite Of some dissertations,
some thrones and affairs overturned,
the five centuries of the Middle Ages
gave rise to the modern university with
it's various colleges and throngs Of
students. They gave birth and ex-
preston to the ideal Of chivalry and
did much to exalt the appreciation Of
labor.-Minneapolis Journal.
