JUDGE E. 1 BRINSON
DIED MON WTERNOON
Was Widely Known Lawyer, Citizen
and Church Man —Held Many Of
fices of Trust in Burke County-
Funeral Tuesday Afternoon at Mag
nolfta Cemetery.
In the death of Judge Edw. L. Brin
non last Monday afternoon about 4
o’clock our community sustained a
severe and distinct loss. Judge Brin
sou was a native of this county and
was highly honored and respected for
his splendid character and ability.
He was endowed with a studious
mind and In his youth cultivated a de
sire for extensive reading. In fact
all his life the study habit with him
was strong and dominant. He liked
the seclusion of his office and library
where he would enjoy for hours the
wonderful storehouse of the world’s
great minds. Judge Brinson had un
usual advantages in the way of pre
paration fo r his career. He attended
that great school—in fact one of the
greatest in its day—the Hephzibah
High School, and the influences of
the masters of that school of Wash
lngton Kilpatrick and William H. Dav
Is impressed his life at that formative
period which tells so largely In the
future activities of the man. Having
finished at this school he entered the
University of Georgia and was grad
uated with the class of 1874, receiving
the A. B. degree His re
cord at the University was of the
highest standing thruout each year.
He was trained for the practice of law
in the Law Department of Cumber
land University at Lebanon, Tenn, and
graduated in 1877, receiving the de
gree of Bachelor of Laws:
Immediately after receiving his de
gree Judge Brinson came back to W|ay
nesboro where he begun the practice
of law, and his success is well known
He was always a staunch Democrat
and served his county in offices of
prominence for a long term of years.
For eight years he was Ordinary of
Burke county.
He represented the 17th senatorial
district in the state senate and in 1892
he was elected Judge of the Augusta
Circuit.
In addition to his interest in the
public life of the county he was a
prominent member and a trustee of
the Methodist church. He was also
an active Mason, belonging to both
the Chapter and Blue Lodge of Ma
sons.
For several years juugt Brinson
was associated in the newspaper busi
ness of the Herald, published in Way
nesboro by Brinson and Levett.
Judge Brinson was born in Burke
county April 10, 1854 and
was the best type of Christian citizen
He loved his county and state and
wa sactive in all the efforts leading
to its welfare and advancement. He
was faithful in his church life and
consecrated his best efforts for many
years as a teacher of a large Bible
Class in the Methodist Sunday School
:He was a charming and delightful
speaker and his wide and well direct
ed reading and graceful manner of de
livery caused him to be called upon
on almost all important public oc
casions. In conversation he was par
ticularly interesting. It was delight
ful to hear him tell the stories of his
early boyhood, of his days at Hephzi
bah, and of many incidents of the
60’s, He was always chaste and elegant
in his thought, nothing low or de
grading ever entering into his conver
sation.
As a lawyer Judge Brinson was
sound and clear. He arrived conelus
sions after thorough and mature con
sideration and his opinions were held
in the highest esteem by members of
his profession thruout the state. It
was on the bench that Judge Brinson
seemed to attain and reach his best
service. He was Impartial, clear and
sound and his record cannot be sur
passed.
On December 14th, 1887, Judge Brin
son married Miss Annie L. Hearn, of
Franklin, Tenn., and with a number
of relatives survive him.
The funeral services were held at
the Methodist Church Tuesday morn
ing at 11 o’clock with Dr. J. P. Mc-
Ferrin and Rev. J. E. Seals in charge
Mr. Seals offered the prayer and Dr.
McFerrin read the service and spoke
most reverently and tenderly of his
friend and brother. The interment
was at Magnolia cemetery. The ac
tive pall bearers were chosen from
among the members of the bar and
his Sunday School class and were E.
V. E. M. Price, F. 9. Burney,
A. F. Evans, C. A. Gray and George
F. Cox. His Sunday school class also
acted as an honorary escort. There
were many beautiful flowers, some
of thehandsomest designs being from
the Waynesboro bar, the Masonic
lodge the stewards of the Methodist
church and his Sunday school class.

Rogers ginned the first bale in
Georgia last year. It is earlier in
July than Georgia has ginned a bale

logical mind. He spent his life a
staunch Democrat, was an ardent

town members of girl’s club 3 in the
county and district supervised by Mrs
Powell. The various organizations co

The Caverns ot the Shenandoah
The exhibition of caverns to the
traveling public is noted by the United
State i Geological Survey as a grow
ing industyr to •L\e Shenandoan Valley
of Virginia. Tht. famous Valley Pike
now a link in Cue New York * > Att*n
ta highway is traversed yearly by
thousands of auo mobile tourists prop
erly intern open seeing Ame»:ea ttrst
and no one has adequately seen Amer
ica who has not visited one or more
of the caverns in the Shenandoah
Valley. Until recently the only cav
erns that were accessible to the pub
lie were the celebrated Luray Cav
erns, in Page County, and Weyers
Caves, in northern Augusta County,
near Grottoes. However, within
twelve months , the Endless Caverns,
near New Market, in Shenandoah
county, have been thrown open to the
public, and on May 31 another cav
ern near Mount Jackson, also in Shen
andoah County, made its first bid for
public favor.
The latest opened caves hav„ been
named Shenandoah Caverns. They
are about 3 miles south of Mount Jack
son and 2 miles west of the Valley
Pike, with which they are connected
by a macadamized road. They are
close to Shenandoah Caverns station,
on the Harrisonburg branch, of the
Southern Railway, and are readily ac
cessible both to the automobilist and
to the railway tourist. Commodious
rest rooms are provided near the rail
way. The visitors descends into
these caverns by a concrete stairway
and soon sees the first stalactites
which appear as stout daggers of
ccrystalized lime carbonate, hanging
like icicles from points where sur
face water drips from the limestone
roof. At the foot of the stairs is the
spacious anteroom to a long chain
of high-valuted chambers connected
by narrow passageways, forming in
general plan a gigantic letter S, all
illuminated by cleverly concealed
lights

are pendent stalactites and uprising
stalagmites—the first inverted narrow
cones fed by tricking films of lime
bearing water; the second pillars or
columns fed by spattering drops of
water. Giving free rein to fancy the

Rev. H. W. Williams, better known
as “parson” ended this life last Wed
nesday evening at a ripe old age. Rev
Williams came to Waynesboro about
thirty years ago and in that time he
possibly made more friends than any
other man we know. He was al
ways interested in all things for the
uplife of the community. He was a
the chain the show piece is a narrow
30-fr>ot cascade of white glittering
crystal flanked by twin falls of pale
translucent orcher. At the base and
to the rear of this diamond cascade,
visible by peering between slender
columns of oriental alabaster, is the
“Fairy’s Secret,’ a tiny pool illumnia
ted in due season by animate dtorches
presumably carried by a brood of
phosphorescent larvae of some insect
perhaps a small fly that is commonly
present in such caverns.
As he progresses from room to
room the visitor is apt to think each
succeeding chamber superior to. the
last, but whether or not this is true
all are likely to agree that the most
charming of all is the one that com
pletes the inbound trip. At the end
of the developed portion of the cavern
a chamber of high valuted roof sudr
denly gives place to a low-ceiled
room containing a lakelet in which
are mirrored a multitude of delicate
stalactites—a pool of a thousand crys
tal pendants the very quintessence
of the übterranean charms.
Acecording to A. C. Spencer, of the
United States Geological Survey the
caverns of the Shenandoah Valley are
far more numerous than the casual
visitor would be likely to imagine.
The rocks in which this broad trench
like valley has been excavated by
water are mainly limestone, and wher
ever these rocks occur the existence
of caverns is indicated by two unfail
ing signs—the presence of innumer
able water sinks, and the absence
; of brooks tributary to the rather reg
ularly spaced creeks. The brookless
tracts receive a due share of rain
fall an<j must obviously contribute
water to maintain the flow of the
creeks and river®, but their contribu
tions are not delivered by way of the
surface driains but through under
ground channels that supply copious
spirngs in the deep valleys. The
sinks are rude funnels, by means of
which surface waters are diverted to
the subterranean waterways.
The devolpment of extensive un
derground waterways in limestone for
mations like those of the Senandoah
Valley hinges upon the two geologic
facts that large masses of rock are al
ways cut by joints and that limestone
is dissolved by rainwater, which al
ways contains more or les® carbon
dioxide. Surface water entering
fissures, joint cracks, and breeding
planes attacks the limestone walls
and thus by a process of etching con
verts close fractures and joints into
relatively open crevices. As this pro
cess of solution goes on lateral con
nections will be made from crevice to
I crevice, and the downward etching of
'the linked opening will be halted on
ly when the subsurface water chan
nels have become closely adjusted to
the water table controlled by sur
face streams. Thus it is that the
caverns of the Shenandoah Valley are
formed
SUMER COMPLAINT
Last year 7,554 babies died during
their first year: a large number of
these children died of gastrointes
tinal conditions. Gastrointestinal
conditions are usually called “stom
ach upseti” or “summer complain”
generally meaning that the baby has

If the baby becomes nauseous, vom

do not think he is teething, nor that
his condition may be neglectei. A ba
by with diar.’hjea, especially diar
rhoea accompanied by nausea, vom
iting and fever is a sick baby and
needs the doctor. Stop all food for
twenty-four hours or even longer.
Give him in place of food water that
has been boiled and cooled, a little
at a time but very often. If you cau
get it give the baby crushed ice in
small amounts by mouth. A twenty
minute tub bath with gentle rubbing
given one or more time a day, will
be very comforting and will probably
save the baby from having convul
sions. Put an ice cap, iced cloth or
cloths wrung out in cold water on his
head, and if his feet are cold put a
hot water bottle or hot cloths to the
feet.
Remember that it is much more im
portant for you to take care of your
little sick baby than it is to take care
of a sick cow or a sick mule. The
baby is worth a great deal more than
your farm animals; it takes a great
deal more intelligence and care to
keep him in good condition. Anything
that will help you in the job of rais
ing a strong healthy child), should be
worth more than anything that helps
you with your farm, your roads or
anything else in the world.
