After this battle < Mr. Severs and Mr. Gaillard were ' both taken prisoners ana Mr. Severs was detailed bv the Federal surgeon to take charge of some ot the wounded, and Corporal Gaillard was one of the , men under his caie. After Mr. Gail- | lard's death, which cceuired iu Oc- 5 tober, Mr. Severs took the books, ' hoping some day to deliver them to , the family of the dead soldier. During l the rest of the war these books were ' carried by Mr. Severs, and ever since ( tbe close of the war he has tried to ( find tlie lighiful owner but succeeded ( only a short time ago.

Mr. Editor: I do not know what others may think, bat on reading an 1 editorial in the State on Superinten- ! dent Mayfield's candidacy for the ' presidency of the South uaroiina uoilege, defining the peculiar qnalifica : ion ot what a man ought to be to fill that place under the present condition of the college, I was forcibly impressed that no man better answered and came nearer possessing all those requirements than Prof. R. Means Davis No one, not even yourself, iu writing on tbe subject seems to have seen if. We are too proae (o look away ofl' yonder when better and more suitable material is right uuder our n )ae. I do not think tLe trustees of ihe college can find a man fiat will bring about that condi.ion of its utioir- so much needed, it s*;etn?, just at this period of its history as the election of Mr. Daris as president; he will reconcile her enemies and win for her friends. It is needless for me to say a word in his praise and fitness for the place. Everybody knows and admires him both as a man and sc.. Jar of the highefet type. Tin college would honor herself by electing him to the highest position in her gift as hor president, is the hum'jle opinion of June 26, IS97. Pincy "\Vood<.

In spirit ana sentiment the July Ladies' Home Journal is interestingly in accord with that of our National birth-month. An article on "The Greatest Nation on Earth," by William George Jordan, pictures, in a most vivid way, the vastness of the United State?, and by simple comparisons and j telling illustrations contrasts ever: ! phase of our greatness with that of I other nations. Allied in patriotic sentiment is Clifford Howard's article "When Dolly Madison Saved the Declaration of Independence." This tells ihe story of the heroism of President Madison's wife, who saved the most precious document in America from falling into the hands of the British when Washington was in flames. "The Women's Patriotic Societies" gives the aim* and purposes of these organiza ioin and the requisites for membership. "Fifty Years of Postage-Stamps" brings to mind thatjast a half century ago our Government made and sold its first stamps for letter postage. "\Tr\rr* 4 V./\ 7?r?/v"!?oV? VArol "f mi 117 Jtli/W iuau LJat/ iv;m Is under review, George W. Smalley's article on "The Personal Side of the Prii.ce of Wales" is timely, as it is interesting, in presenting a close view of the Heir Apparent in his ever, -day life. Edward W. Bok editorially addresses girl graduates, and discusses "(ioiDg Away in summer." in ma eerier of Bible lessons, Evangelist Moody takes "Love" for the text, and "Droch" writes on the timely theme of "Outdoor Books." "The Brigbl Side of Disagreeable Things" reveals Robert J. Bunlctte's clcvere?t vein. Lovers of fiction will share with "Cap'n Bill" the joys of bis wedding invitation, and enter heartily into the tender wooing of -'Iler 'Lad.'" Along more practical lines are Mrs. Rorer's lesson on making salads and salad dressing, and the care of the house in hot weather; Ruth Ashmore's "What 'Empty Stocking Clubs' Can Do," giving a novel idea for new clubs, and showing how the children of the poor can be aided and their Christmas made bright. The first article in a new series, "The Ladies' Home Journal's Moderate Cost Houses," by its own architect, gives most minute petaii and practical suggestion for a model suburban house. Articles on needle-work for summer hoar* give many valuable suggestions. An artistic feature of striking interest is Alice Barber Stephens' drawing of tbe Amercan summer girl, ihe openiDg illustration of the number.
