COL. W. H. MARTIN
HAS PASSED AWAY
Died in Asheville Friday
Afternoon.
AFTER LONG ILLNESS.
Was Useful and Promi
nent Citizen.
He was Oue of the Leading Civil Law
yers of Upper Carolina?Tho
Funeral Sunday.
Col. Williamson H. Martin of this
olty died in Asheville, N. O, Friday
afternoon. Col. Martin was one of the
leaders of the Laurens bar. He was in
his 52nd year. Ho had been in ill health,
suffering from a complication of dis
eases for the past six months and in
February was desperately ill with
pneumonia. He also suffered a stroke
of paralysis some months ago, but had
recovered sufficiently to return to his
office. With Mr3. Martin and theJ
youngest of his two sons he went to
Asheville about a week ago.
Col. Martin was a native of Laurens
county; a member of an old and promi
nent family. In early life ho was a
merchant, but about 22 years ago
studied law in the ofilce of tho late
Col. It. P. Todd, with whom he later
formed a partnership, succeeding to
the whole practice upon Col. Todd's
death. His practice was for the most
part confined to the civil side of the
courts and he was eminently success
ful. He thoroughly mastered his cases
and tho justices of the supreme court
had a high opinion of his ability. He
was never active in politics, though
his alignment on the conservative side
of public issues was always well known.
He was a member of Gov. McSweoney's
stall. Since its organization in 18S7 he
has been a director of the Poople's
Loan and Exchange Bank, one of the
largest of the financial institutions
here, and his sagacity as an advisor
was valuable to It. He was also one of
the largest local subscribers in the
building of the Laurens Cotton Mills,
but had sold his shares in that com
pany some time before his death. He
was an active figure in other smallor
corporations that have aided in tho de
velopment of the city and county.
Col. Martin's homo in Main street
was one of the handsomest in Laurens
and a few months before his death he
1 ad greatly Improved It. Hl6 imme
diate family consists of his wife and
Iwo sons. While his friends bad de
spaired of his recovery for some time,
his death comes as a great shock, for
he has been out down in the fullness of
a successful career.
The body arrived from Asheville at
2 o'clock Saturday and the funeral took
placa Sunday afternoon, brief sorvices
being conducted at the grave by Rev.
W. S. Holmes of the Episcopal Church,
assisted by Rjv. J. D. Pitts of the Bap
tist Church.

Col- Martin Is also survived by one
brother. Mr. F. B. Martin of Youngs
Township, and one sister, Mrs. E. Slt
greaves of Laurens.
Col. Martin's death Is profoundly
mourned by a large number of friends.
He was a usoful oitlaen of much force
of character and his death is a loss to
tho county and state.
He was recently elected a member of
the vestry of the Episcopal Church.

The Model Army of ?lic World.
What nrmy was tho strongest of its
time? .lodging by results, tho Roman
nrmy was so from the fifth century
lt. O. onward until tho division of the
empire. Its lighting organization was
as complete as and possibly more prac
tical than Ihnt of any army of today.
It was based on a territorial system
Which maintained the comradeship of
locality Without bringing It into an
tagonism with that of tho corps, for
each of the thirty-five Roman "tribes"
was required to furnish to each legion
four "centuries" of 120 men, each of
which worked together as a local unit.
Tho legion was divided Into five co
horts or battalions, of which three
Were troops of the lino, two were a
kind of militia and the fifth was n de
pot battalion. For nlmost eight centu
ries tho nrmy thus constituted not only
conquered tho then Known world, but
acted as explorers beyond its limits,
and nt tho same time made and un
inndo kings and emperors In Rome It
self. In modern times the Prussian ar
my, which won Bndown and Sedan
and overran both Austria and France,
was tho strongest tho world lias

Shot John Phillip* as the Latter
was Kating His Sapper.
At Norway, S. C last Wednesday
night, Charles Evans, a negro, who had
been looked up In the village guard
house on the charge of shooting John
Phillips, whito, at his supper table,
mentioned in last week's Advertiser,
was taken out by a mob and hung and
ihot to death. A daughter of Phillips
was also woundod by the shot which
mortally wounded Phillips.
It appeared that a few days previous
sons of Phillips had had a difficulty
with Evans and his brothers and had
whipped one of the Evanses. The Ev
anses were said to be notoriously bad
negroes, of somo education, and given
bo causing trouble.
V odour's Inquest was held and the
verdict was that Evans met his death
it the hands of parties unknown to the
jury.
Last Saturday the negroes at Nor
way became threatening in their atti
tude to tho whites and Capt. Lewis
Uaskell and a company of 60 soldiers
were sent down by Governor Heyward
[rom Columbia. The troops returned
Monday, no trouble occurring.
Phillips, the man shot by Evans, died
Sunday, after lingering nearly a week.
