"Best on, embalmed and sainted dead, Dear as the blood yon gave; I No Impious footsteps here shall tread, The herbage of your grave." This is one of the verses on a beautiful monument I looked upon with tearful reverence while walking through Rosemont cemetery, at Newberry. Calvin Crozier was a Texas confederate 8oldier,who shortly after the close of the war, was going home and had 1 oao in V?ia /?V? avrrn Whon the train arrived at Newberry some lawless negro soldiers who were in camp near by went into the car and grossly insulted the ladies. Crozier and some others defended the ladies and in the melee one of the negroes was slightly wounded. Before the train left Colonel Trowbridge sent some of the negroes to arrest the man who did it. They made a mistake and seized Mr. Jacob Bowers, a railroad employee, and hurried him away to the colonel's quarters. Without trial he was summarily ordered to be shot. It was near midnight when Crozier was told of Bowers' arrest and condemnation; he promptly went forward and declared that he himself was the man who wounded the negro. Bowers was released and at sunrise next morning Crozier was shot to death, notwithstanding his demand for a trial and protest of Prince Rivers, an officer in Trowbridge's command. The negro soldiers danced with fiendish delight upon and around the shallow grave where they had laid him. Long after the war his bones were removed and this monument was erected by the good people of Newberry to his memory. Does history record any nobler sacrifice? Damon was the friend of Pythias, but this man Bowers was a stranger to Crozier. Much more of this pathetio story is reoorded in the "Annals of Newberry," an interesting volume written by John Belton O'Neall, LL. D. I was pleased to learn that other counties in Carolina were having their annals written and published in book form. How else can we hand down to posterity the good deeds of our ancestors? State histories cannot do it, for it would make many ponderous volumes, but even now it is not too late for someone of literary taste and fidelity in every county to confer with the old men and compile such a history. Such publications could be cheaply done and would be of inestimable value to the citizens. Mr. Chapman, a well-preserved veteran, a cultured scholar, a gentlemen of the olden times, is now writing the annals of Edgefield. I was informed on good authority that this Mr. Chapman was the real author of the school history of the United States that was published in Columbia, S. C., as the work of Alex. H. Stephens. Mr. Chapman submitted his manuiscript to Mr. Stephens and for the use and prestige of his name gave him an interest in the royalty. There was scarcely a change made in it from beginning to end. Newberry is a gem of a city and its population is perhaps more cultured and refined than any city of South Carolina. The professors of her college and high school, her lawyers and doctors and preachers apd editors are all gentlemen, not only in manners but at heart. The standard of good citizenship is high and the influence of her leading men pervades the entire community. Mr. Aull, the editor of the News-Herald, is perhaps the best all round man for his work to be found, for he is not onlj a man of high culture, but is eminently a practical newspaper man and is devoted to his calling. He has written the history of the state, and it is the standard in the schools. Two of his boys, aged ten and twelve, are at work in the printing room, and do good service. Mr. Aull is not at all reconciled to the modern system of grading the schools so that it takes eight years to go through their courses. If four years more are added for a college course there is no lime left for a boy to acquire a knowledge of work or habits of work. From eight to twenty he is a non-produeer, and when he graduates is fit only for the learned professions, if fit for anything. But his boys have to mingle study with labor and alternate the years of each. Mr. Aull is the president of the State Press Association. A1 onnraa "Korrhorrv ban A larCTA Cot ton mill. Almost every Carolina town has one or more. As yon travel from place to place they are in sight, and give employment to the poor. Five years ago Union had only 1,800 inhabitants, bat daring all these distressing years has continued to grow and prosper until now there are ?<000. One little mill, as they call it, started the boom and encouraged them to build another?a very large one, ! whose four floors cover a space equal to six acres. Next came an oil mill and a knitting mill and other industries, and now they are boring for artesian water, to supply a system of waterworks. Neither in the city nor near it are any people begging for work for employment is at hand. Then go to Spartanburg and be amazed. When I was there a few years ago there was nothing to make sSSsL .. / _ .. . ,vif* note of lave a college, bat now there are cotton mills near by that manufacture 140,000 bales annually, and it is claimed that no one county in the United States consumes as much. Not an acre of suburban land can be bought for less than $30. Everything prospers and everybody seems happy. The taxable property has increased four-fold within eight years, and the population has more than doubled. Where did all the money come i from, I inquired. From a small beginning?from one little mill, and it did so well that others soon followed. Northern manufacturers of machinery were attracted there and took one-third of the stock and paid for it in spindles and looms? and have made good money and are content. Some Charleston money is there, too. These mills have made from 10 to 20 per cent for several years and keep on making it, and these machinery men up north will do the same thing for the people of Cartersville or any other southern town that is healthy and -well situated, xney only wait to be invited. The Piedmont region of South Carolina is now the New England of the south. Even the young men and young ladies of good families in their towns are not too proud to take positions in the factories. They are bookkeepers, typewriters, correspondents and superintend in some of the departments And earn good honest money. Just think of it, what a revolution. For many years we have supposed that the state was nearly worn and her young men would have to accept Greely's maxim, "Go west, young man, go west," but not so. Northern South Carolina is richer today and more prosperous than any portion of Georgia. Anderson has nearly doubled her population during the last five years. New stores, new dwellings, new churches, parsonages and a fine public school building have gone up, a new courthouse is projected and all this comes from the cotton mills. It does seem as though the cotton we grow should be spun and woven at home. 1--4 - ?!* Ka rtld Viiqt.nriry 1UJ lOOl VIOIV nao w iiuv v?u town of Edgefield?a town almost retired from the pnblio gaze but one that has always felt proud of its prestige as the domicile of more great men than any in the state.

Let Confederate Soldiers Write Sketches of Their War Records for Their 'Families. The memory of the Confederate war is fast fading away. Many who glance at this issue of the State will live to see notioes like this in the paper: " died on the ? inst He was one of the l&at surviving soldiers who fought in the Confederate army.M It is to be regretted that so mtxch history relating to a cause which was fought for so grandly should utterly perish. How much do the school children of South Carolina know of "Fighting Bick" Anderson, one of the brayest men who eyer drew a sword, and who reoelved warm thanks from Robert E. Lee, one of the noblest men who eyer liyed. Yet "Fighting Dick" Anderson was a soldier who would haye been an honor to any country or any time, and I am proud indeed to tell the school children of Sumter county that he belonged to our county. If I were able, I would publish, in monographic form, succinct biographical sketches of oyery ex-conieaeraie soicuer now living m Privateer township. I would nave each sketch aooompanied by a likeness, and would entitle the volume "Sketches of Confederate Soldiers Living in Privateer Township, Sumter county, South Carolina, in 1897." I would not compile such a volume because I hoped to reap pecuniary reward, for I know only too well how little interest our people take in historical or biographical works relating to our State, and such a work as I have described would not even pay the expense of publication; on the oontrary, it would be a most costly undertaking. Still, I wish that such a volume could be oompiled about the living Confederate soldiers of every county in South Carolina. Volumes like these would not only be of interest and great value to the future historian, but also as genealogical matter. I am truly glad that Seuth Carolina is doing the part she is in preserving Confederate records. Money spent for this purpose is well spent I want to make this suggestion to the Confederate soldiers of South Carolina: Write suociuct sketches of yourself and give all of your descendants a copy. If yon are unable to write the sketch yourself, get some one to write it for you. Nothing elaborate need be written, a form like this could be used: " son of . He was born at on . Attended school at . Belonged to Company , and served in tne uonieaerate army ? years, was present at the following battles -7-. Married , and has the following children . Thia sketoh is written by him for his descendants." Such a sketch as this coold be easily written, and in future days would be of inestimable historical value. Ittft this is not all; children would feel more veneration for a father who would give in tangible shape an account of his war record, and when that father was dead and gone, how much they would prize the sketch. .Perhaps this suggestion will not be followed by a single sketch, but I do no harm in making it, and I make it for the cause of history. ?McDonald Furman in Columbia State. HISTORY MIXED IN JAW JAW. Worth Did Not Lead the United States Ardly Into Mexico and It was the Palmetto Flag that Held the Place of Honor. The Atlanta Constitution devotes three oolumns in a recent issue to writing up the wire grass region of Georgia, which is described as a land of plentiful promise. It is said that immigrants are pouring in and that agriculture end horticulture flourish. At the Atlanta Exposition we saw a sign in the Georgia building which read as follows: "Cedartown welcomes Northern settlers." We presume no Southern or Western men are wanted in that section. Poulan, the new settlement, does not seem to be so exclusive as Cedartown, for we see that Col. John G. McPhaul, a genuine Tar Heel, figured conspicuously in the ceremonies attending the laying of the corner stone of this new enterprise, which is in Worth county. The Tar Heel raised the stars and stripes and, according to the correspondent, his "place as the developer of this section must now become a matter of history." Speaking of this flag business the correspondent says; "A significant part of the days proceedings was the unfurling of the old flag to the breeze. It was fitting that in a county named for the gallant man under whom the American arm v entered Mexico, and who carried that flag to its first victory in a foreign war, should assemble her people under its folds as the protection under which it is possible for individualism , to accomplish its best results. While there were in the assemblage many new citizens from north of the Ohio, who may have felt that it was to them that Urn aot was due, yet when they looked around them and saw come of the identical veterans who had followed the stars and stripes all the way down until it floated over the Chapultepec, must have abated somewhat their sense of proprietorship and yielded the prior claim to the men who fought under Worth in Mexico and gave his name to their home upon their return. The Georgians get their historical facts mixed. Gen. Worth did not lead an American army into Mexioo. Just before hostilities commenced, in 1846, he became miffed about some point of military etiquette, handed in his resignation and went to Washington. While he was there the victories of Palo Alto and Besaca-de-la-Palma were gained. As Booh as he heard the news in Washington he withdrew his resignation, but did not get to the seat of war until these two battles were gained and the city of Matamoros was taken. From that i time on Worth did good service, but the j flag that floated over Chapultepec and Mexico was a Palmetto standard. Gen. , Worth was a merchant's olerk when he : entered the army and was not a West Pointer.?Abbeville Medium. First Thespian?Have a warm reception In the last town yon played, old man?

It Is usual to compare the battles of the last century with the battles of today, and to dilate upon the greater deadlines^ of the modern weapons aud the modern results. But the facts are all nhe other way. At Fontenoy, for Instance, one volley of the Coldstreams struck down 450 Frenchmen of the Regiment du Rol.

The fact Is that modern fighting tends more and more to become a game of long bowls. This was the cause of the small execution (lone at Krugersdo:.*p. On the other hand, our forefathers at Fontenoy and elsewhere held their fire till they were within twenty or thirty paces, and the officers passed their canes along the musket barrels to make sure they were not alraod too high before the volley was delivered. Moreover, the men were formed In solid column or square, and every shot told. It lookn as If the greater range of the rifle would be followed by less loss of men, and certainly the rapidity of the discharge of the magazine rifle tends to enconrage wild and careless shooting, and Is against cool and accurate workmanship.?Saturday Review.
