HOW rap idly tho Confederate veterans are passing away. Within a brief six months McGowan, Hagood, Brat toa (general officers from South Carolina) Deeportes, and now McKie of the staff, with many of the rauk and file, have fallen vic tims to that common enemy, death. With the flight of time this list trill be iucreased iii rapid succes sion. Nobody realizes this more sensi bly than the grim soldiers of the South. They meet it with the same composure tij.it sustained them in the shock of so many bat tles and supported them so bravely through the perils and poverty and trials which followed defeat. The last great Borrow to throw its shadow over the State, espe cially Edgefield, is the death of Dr. T. J. McKie, as noble a Roman as his country ever produced. Long and trying years of inti mate acquaintanceship enables me to speak advisedly of Dr. McKie's character. He was one of the purest men, knigbtliest gentlemen I have ever known, and I mean this in its most . comprehensive sense.?He did not pose as a gen tleman on occasions. In his daily life, in his relations with the high est and humblest, in every walk of life, professional, business, social, he never forgot that deference due to others. He was always a mod est, respectful, self-respecting gen tleman. Endowed with a liberal educa tion and high professional attain ments, he cultivated the highest and best ideals in literature, in art, in nature, and sought only the elevated and ennobling pursuits of life. His services in the Confederate army were distinguished and with out a blemish. His patriotic lova of country, bis anxiety for her welfare and honor knew no bound save opportunity to promote them During the troublous times in our neighborhood, in Meriwether township, in 1874, when the ne groes, under the vicious leadership of bad men, were betrayed into taking the '-aw into their own hands, I had frequent opportunity to test his courage, telf-sacriflee and judgment, and can say with absolute sincerity, no man evnr met and overcame grave responsi bilities and dangers with more fortitude and fearlessness. Amid the most provoking temp tations to gratify resentments and wreak vengeance upon a people who attempted to assassinate him, in return for an almost paternal kindness and care he had always shown them, he never permitted his temper to get the better of his self-possession, or allowed himself to cross the path of moderation and forbearance. It almost makes ono shudder to recall, even at this late day, look lug back through the mists of a quarter of a century, tho terrible ordeal and trials through which we passed in Meriwether in '74. With the alien and scalawag in control of every office in the State, stimulating and urging the ignor ant and misguided negroes to acts nf lawlessness and spoliation, rt*itti the spirit of our people broken, md disheartened by the heel of oppression and wroug, with our families and property at the mercy nf hirelings and shameless profli gate adventurers, our condition ?eemed almost hopeless and des perate. Under these conditions ;he people of Meriwether struck the first blow, lighted the first torch for disenthralmentPand re lief, and taught their fellow citi zens in other sections of the State ivhat courage and self-reliance ex ercised with prudence and firm ness could accomplish. It was the beavy skirmish line which led up ;o and made possible the gieat cattle for white tupremacy and iberty of 1876. The splendid ;ourage of such men as Dr. Tom McKie, Joe Meriwether. Dr. Hugh Shaw, Joe Thurmond, John Meal ing, Levi Reese, A. P. Butler, Hugh ?cott, and the host of other high spirited, self-sacrificing men ear ned us through the fiery perils of ;hat eventful period. Through it all Dr. McKie was ,he same quiet gentleman, tireless, /igilaut patriot. He, with others, ook his life iu his hands and spared no effort to relieve his neighborhood of the reign of ter ror, precipitated by the enemies of lis State. Once, while in the discbarge of lis professional duties, he was ired upon from ambush in the night time, and almost miracu lously escaped di.'ath. His cloth ing was riddled with bullets, his norse wounded, from rifles in the nands of negroes at close quarters, hie came immediately from the ;cene of til i 3 cowardly attempt at issassinatiou, after midnight, to ny house to infor:? vs of what lad happened. I %?J *'my house.'' rie was received in the yard near ;he smouldering emben of my louse, for the torch of th*e incen liary had destroyed the house and ?verything m it, except my family, vho barely escaped with their ives. Amid this ghastly Bcene of ruin iud destruction, fresh from the nidnight attempt on his life, he lttered no word of resentment, nor I did he couneel reprisals or retalia t?o... We repaired to the residence of Mr. Archy Morgan, than whom there was no truer or nobler gen tleman to be found anywhere, and there gathered a posse of deter mined friends and neighbors, who patiently, but firmly manoeuvred tho insurrectionary negroes out of the neighborhood with loss of but a singlo life. There was never such an instance of self control and forbeaiance on the part of the white people. -Their provocation to retaliation and punishment was intense, bul they held their hands, realizing that the negro was not 60 much to blame as their cowardly ?hite allies, who fled for safety as soon as the danger signal way raised. I wish to repeat and em phasize that in all this excitement, turmoil and uncertainty, Dr. Mc Kie never once lost his head, self possession or magnanimity of spirit. He?visited the sick of the very people who had sought hie life and relieved their sufferings with as much quiet fidelity as if they had been his protectors and guardians. And he continued his ministrations often without com pensation up to within a few weeks of his death. Sound the hearts of those people to-day, the negroes of that neigh borhood, and you will touch a chord of sorrow and sympathy, which attests their love aud re spect for their dead friend. Well may they lament his death, for in the performance or his professional duty he made no distinction of j race or color, but treated all with the same conscientious considera tion. Death ipa debt we all have to pay, but we eau illy afford to spare such characters as Dr. McKie; unfortunately for us, they are be soming more rare as we get fu ther away from the days that bred them. He was not only an accom plished physician, buta high toued gentleman, and we shall miss him after a long, honorable, useful 3areer, as few men are missed. His delicate sensibilities, mod est, retiring disposition made the active participation in the turmoil j? politics distasteful to him, but be always felt the keeuest interest in the political welfare of tfcfe jountry and the honor and charac ter of State aud county govern ment. He entertaiued the su Dremest contempt for the d<?ma ;ogue and chafed under the exac tions and false pretensions of un all men. No man ever established and ived up toa higher standard of | ife, or left a more valuable herit ige of honor and upright living to hose who come after him. M. C. BUTLER, Washington, D. C.

Through the inventive genius of one George A. Lowry, a machine has been invented that seems destined to revolutionize the cotton business. The machine is a simple piece of mechanism that puts -cot ton in round bales and while it is yet new and untried except the experiment made by the company, it is looked on favorably by the cotton men who have seen it. General Stephen M. Wells, president of the Planters Compres -t. Company, of Boston, was in the city yesterday with a bale of the cotton baled by the machine and photgraphs of the machine. The machine, as pictured here, is attached to the gin and as the cotton is ginned it can be put right . into the machine and baled beiore leaving the ginhouae. The cost of machine ie something under $500 and it may be run by the same power that runs the gin. The bales made by this process are round, and in size they are eigh taen inches in diameter and forty two inches high, each bale weigh ing 250 pounds. The cotton is packed in spinal layers, while its density is forty-four pounds to the cubic foot, as against a density of twenty-two pounds to the cubic foot in the bales put up by the ordinary compress. It is not packed too tightly tobe used as soon as the bale is opened. In the other round bales the trouble has been that the baleB have been put around a solid rod and while the cotton was loose on the outside of the bale, on the inside it is packed so tight that it is perfectly hard. This machine leaves a hole through the center of the bale through which the wires tha4, hold the bale together are run. The cotton goes in the top of the machine very much like the meat is put in a sausage machine and comes out the lower end in a roll ready to be baled. When the machine, is perfected it will take about five minutes to make a bale. A knife that works automatically cuts the roll of cotton off just the length of the bale and in five minutes more another bale is ready. The greatest advantage . of the new kind of bale is the facility that it will give the farmer ii handing hisxrop. The bales are smaller, and being round in forrh are easier to handle. Another great advantage iain the shipping. The owners of the process claim that twice as much cotton may be put in a car when baled by their) process than in the ordinary bales. The oales are encased in cotton duck and held together by four wires, all of which weigh not over two pounds. The cost of j covering a bale is 22 cents. All together, it is claimed that the saving on every bale of cotton to all parties will be between $3 and $4 per bale. A company with a capital of j $5,000,000 has been organized to manufacture the machine and introduce it in the country. It is proposed to organize branch companies in each State with local sapital. The owners of the machine say that they will have it] ready in time to handle all of the aext crop and that it will revolutionize the cotton business. This new process of baling | iotton is known as the Lowry process, from the name of the | ? inventor. Mr. George A. Lowry, ?vho invented the machine, is ;be mau who, some years ago, 1/ nveuted a machine for taking ;he bristles off hogs. He sold the uvention to the Armours fori &100,000.-Atlanta Journal. rf nearie pain, danger and joasible death for nome vives. For others it neaw? practical Iv no liscomfortat all.
