lish two recent communications of his in
Tho State which will no doubt prove of in
terest.
Mr-iCallioun's letter is as follows:?
My aim in writing you is to call your at
tention to the fact t hat Abtieville occupies
a prominent part in the discussion, both
as regards the seal ami tue last meeting ??i
the Confederate .cabinet. That being the
ease, and as I am working for Abbeville,
but, I finally succeeded, and the fact i6
admitted without question. In that sanje
connection came up the history of the seal
of the Confederacy, about which there is
now and has been much talk; and I have
been steadily contending for the Abbeville
seal as against all others as boing the true
original seal of the Confederacy. A. S.
Saliey. Jr., and The State, in an off hand
manner pronounce the Selfridge seal to be
j.u?. ;?nl T si i emit a un/i trivA mv

reasons for.
The State in a recent issue admits that
since Benjamin, Jr.of Kichmond, Vn.t has
written to a New York paper that the orig
inal seal was never used,?that the Ab
beville seal h;is|a "Factitious" value. Ben
jamin says that the original seal eaiui
from London too late for use, some time
in 1864. Theu, if that seal was never used,
what seal was? It follows that as a mat
ter of course the one that was at Abbeville
isithe only genuine seal.of the Confederacy,
and the only one that has any historic
value.
Now is the time for Abbeville to cstab
lish this matter beyond doubt, because
whatever conclusion is reached now will
go down in history as the true version of
the matter.
So far as I have seen, I am the only per
son in the State contending for the claim
of Abbeville now or has done much in that
line in the past. The cousequence is that
I have collected much important data both
as to the cabinet meeting and the seal,
much of which is unwritten history, and
all of it very Important to the history of
Abbeville. What I have collected would
make quite a nice brochure on the subject
that should not only be interesting to the
people of Abbeville, but to the general pub
lic Much of the data Is from prominent
men of the day now dead in the shape of
letters bearing directly on the two sub
jects.
We must succeed in not only giving the
Abbeville seal a "Factitious" value as al
leged by The State in comparison with the
Selfridge seal, but a real value as being the
only seal ever used by the Confederacy
and therefore the only genuine seal, and
the only one that has any sentimental or
historic value.
You can publish this letter If you so de
sire. I send you one of my recent articles
on the subject. I am with kind regards,
Very truly yours
W. P. Calhoun.
To the Editor of The State:
In a recent editorial you unhesitatingly
assert that the Thomas 0. Selfrldge seal
about which much is being written is the
genuine origiual seal of the Southern Con
federacy. After indorsing the line follow
ed by Mr. Salley and agreeing with his
conclusion, you go further and seem to
rest your case on the fact that the seal
which was at Abbeville, S.C., in 18S5, where
Mr. Davis held his last cabinet meeting,
was a copy. You have not the slighest
fact to base such a conclusion on. That
it was the origiual seal, there can be no
doubt, regardless of the well put up tale
by Bromwell and Pickett, the curio sellers.
It seems that about 1872 Bromwell
through Pickett sold or gave to Selfridge
what they represented to be the lost seal
of the Confederacy with the tale that has
recently been brought prominently to
light. Bromwell and Pickett, as the facts
show, were curio sellers for the money
that was in it.
It is a fact thatcau not be disputed that
President Davis held his last cabinet meet
ing at Abbeville, b. (J., in 1865; and the
same authorities that prove that fact
prove that the seal of the Confederacy
was there and seen by men whose words
cannot be disputed; and that Judah P.
Benjamin was there, the custodian of the
seal; and that there and then it was decid
ed to destroy the seal, a fact proved by
some of the most substantial men that
South Carolina ever produced; and who
say that what they saw and advised the
destruction of was the seal of the Confed
eracy, no suspicion of it being a copy ex
isting. Those'men were not curio sellers.
Mr. Benjamin never would have allowed
himself to be a party to the farce of de
stroying a mere copy of that seal when lie
knew where the original was.
There is 110 doubt about the fact that
Admiral Selfridge believed that ho had the
original seal of tbe Confederacy.
You assert in a manner which you iu
tend, it seems to bo final, in disposing of
the Abbeville end of the controversy, that
the seal seen there was a copy. Where is
your proof? Can you name one ground
upon which to be such a far fetched infer
ence? If so, let us have it.
by assertjng that the Selfridge seal is
the original you place the words of two
curio sellers agains the words of Armis
tead Burt, Wai. Henry Parker, Thomas C.
Perrin, Davis L. Wardlaw and other men,
who were present, saw the seal and who
state what took place in regard to it with
a minuteness that cannot be questioned.
During all of that discussion Mr. Benja
min did not hint even that it was a copy.
According to the Atlanta Constitution
the Selfridge seal is to be submitted to the
rvt^irvinol ?m o L'ftrc fnr t Imir 1 in) ni/tn o +/% itu
VlifjUiUi luuuvi sy 1V1 IUVU v/piuivn cvo iv iw
genuineness before the purchasers pay
over the money, there being a clause in
the contract of sale to that effect.
Before you can assert that the seal seen
at Abbeville was a copy you must prove
anu not assort that it was a copy. Fur
ther, you will have to disprove the testi
mony of the meu named above and the ac
quiescence of Mr. Benjamin in the destruc
tion of what he knew to be a copy. You
must show further that Bromwoll was at
Abbeville at the time named, and secuied
the seal, after it had been decided to de
stroy it in some way. The seal having
undoubtedly! been at Abbeville and not
Charlotte, N. C., in the absence of Brom
woll from Abbeville, kills dead the whole
frabric of the Bromwell-Pickett story, and
discredits the statement that they got it
le Confederacy
at Charlotte, X. C., iu the maimer de
scribeed.
The Abbeville end of the matter is no
myth, nor a tradition. It is based on posi
tive facts, about which there can be no
doubt.
If you can prove that the seal seen at
Abbevillle was a copy, then you will have
some foundation to base your belief on.
nml credence would be given to the tale as
told by Bromwell and Pickett. The origi
nal s<>al must be traced from Abbeville
atul not from Charlotte.

THINKS SEAL RESTS
AT BOTTOM OF 1UVEK
? ?
Win. P. Calhoun Believes Con
federate Kelic Was Thrown
Into the Savanuah.
To the Editor of The Sate:
i referred to the fact recently through
your paper that A. S. Salley, Jr., secretary
of the South Carolina historical commis
sion, was claiming that the seal returned
to Richmond, Va., by Rear Admiral Thomas
O. Selfrldga as the lost 6eal of the South
ern Confederacy was such. Besides, Mr.
Sal ley gave a trace of the seal and con
cluded that it wju> really tho much dis
ussed lost seal.
He says that it has been known since
1873 that the seal was preserved, but It is
rather strange if that is the case that so
inuch silence should have prevailed for
such a long time, when efforts were being
made to trace the genuine seal, and it was
much written about. Admiral Selfridge
could easily have stopped Inquiry by ad
mitting that he had the seal. It seems
that Col. Pickett, who had what he claim
ed was the original seal, was a curio seller
who wanted good prices for same; and he
no doubt did give Admiral Selfridge a seal
of the Confederacy as the original, or sol d
it to him: but, before the fact can be es
tablished that the one given Abmiral Sell
ridge Is the genuine seal of the Confeder
hc it will have to pe explained how It got
away from Abbeville, S. C.P where it was
seen in April, 1865, when Mr. Davis held
his last cabinet meeting in the house o!
Armistead Burt, as explained by the late
Win. Henry Parker of Abbeville, a man
whose word was never doubted by any
and whose character stood high in the
State. What Mr. Parker says has been
substantiated by others who were pres
ent. What should be done with tin) seal
was discussed after the cabinet meeting at
which the Confederacy was formally dis
solved, is given by Mr. Parker. All of the
iMx?viliA iiihji namnd bv Mr. Parker haw
long since passed away. but, in their day,
they gave the same version of tin) matter
us does Mr. Parker. It seeing to lmvr
been decided to deface the swal and to
throw into the Savannah rivor at the con
ference mentioned, and from all that can
be learned that is its resting place now
It was thought that aftvr being d?>fiM;ed it
was thrown into the well on the Hurt,
home; and a number of yoars later, the
well was drawn off and a thorough search
made for it without avail. Mr. Benjamin
crossed the Savannah river with Mr. Davis,
as did 6ome others of his official family
If Col. Pickett was at Abbeville at the
time (April, 1865), it may be possible that
the seal fell into his hands, but, if h?> was
not, the original seal of the Confederacy
lies most probably at the bottom of the Sa
vannah river, the western boundary of
Abbeville county, a lit resting place for it
because the first secession meeting was
held at Abbeville, and the Inst cabinet
meeting as well, and the Confederacy dis
solved there.
It would be impossible for me to give
the record of this matter, as I have much
on the subject that makes most Interesting
reading and containing facts that are not
yet recorded in history. Strange to say
that Mr. Davis, in his account of his pro
gress from Richmond to where he was cap
tured in Georiga, never mentioned being
at Abbeville In any way.
Mr. Parker so graphically describes what
took place, that I give his letter to me,
dated June 22,1903, in part. It will b? seen
that he relates facta that wero never
known, until I published them in 1903, to
any great extent. Mr Parker was of the
greatest aid to me in searching out the
facts of the matter.
The following is his letter and it is
well worth reading:
"Col. Wm. P. Calhoun.
'' Dear Sir: Your letter of this date iu re
ference to the 'last cabinet mooting of the
Confederacy,'received and I will give you
such information ai-out the matter as I
learned at the time from prominent citizens
of this city, or came under my own obser
vation." (After explaining how Mr. Davis
entered Abbeville and when; and that he
went to the Burt mansion, and by whom th?
members of the cabinet were entertained,
the disposition of the troops and com
manders, h? goes on to say):
"I have heard Mr. Burt speak of the cab
inet meeting at his house in the northeast
front corner room, in the second story, and
at whlchjhe was present. The cavalry etcort
was commanded by Gon. Dukes and Gen
Vaughn, I think. While the cabinet meet
ing was discussing tbe situation, tnd the
question of futher military operation which
President Davis advocated in opposition to
all, or some of the other members, as stated
by Mr. Burt, Gen. Dukes arrived and an
nounced that It was useless to consider
auy further resistance, that the cavalry
iinrior hini would not fiirht anv lonir
er and were throwing away their weapons.
"Mr. Burt stated that Mr. Davis dis
played great emotion, and throwing his
head back, either hid his face in his hnnds,
or spread his handkerchief over his face
I am not sure now which. As stated by
Mr. Burt, after some little time, President
Davis was led from the room, and the mem
bers of the cabiuet agreed on final dissolu
tion. "I have heard from Mr. Perrln and
members of his family that the disposal of
the Confederate seal of state was discussed
at his house afterwards and he advised that
the seal be defaced with a hatchet and
thrown into the Savauuah river,-which
they would cross ou their way to Washing
ton, Ga, It was not known whether this
was done or not."
Then followed much interesting histor
ical information and facte as to who was
with Mr. Davis at the time and the manner
of his leaving Abbeville.
All of the information that I have shows
that the seal was at Abbeville at the time
named, but, there is no positive proof as to
what was really done with it The evidence
as to its disposition is circumstantial; but
that It was seen there is positive. There cau
be no error in that. Mr. Picket may have
ruu across a duplicate, of which I have
known; but that he could have had tlio
original unless he procured it at Abbeville
is out of the question.
It would require too much space to go
into detail, and I have selected Mr. Parker's
letter as being direct, without having read
over all the data that I have.

GASOLINE ENGINE
ON THE FA IOI.
Clemson Extension Work.
Recent years have witnessed a very
marked Increase in the use of mechanical
power for the performance of many classes
of farm work that our fathers accomplished
by hand.'
Of the va' lous power-producing mcldnes
in use on the farm' probably the most used
and the most adaptable to ail sorts of con
ditions is the singlo.cylinder gasoline en
gine of the four-sroke cycle type. This
machine is made in two iorrns. vertical uuu
horizontal, and with either air or water
cooled cylinder,
While machines of different makes vary
as to detail, they all have thusainc
essential parts; namely, cylinder with in
let and exhaust valves, piston, connecting
rod, crank shaft, crank-shaft bearings with
tupports, lly wheels, exhaust valve opener
governor, ignition apparatus, carburetor,
cooling apparatus, and oiling system.
These engines may be purchased in sizes
from onc-haif horse power upward.
Unlike the steaui engine, with pulling
powers wo are famtliar, t he gasoline en
gine will not carry much overload; hence
it is advisable to buy a machine large
enough to do the maximum work required
of it without overloading. If the engine is
to be used for pumping only, small special
vuimiiiv-wr tnnr>hi nr?c fr.hn.fr f/ivi* PYPplloilh ?Of
rice may bo bought at a reasonable price,
If the farmer owns but one engine, it is
probably advisable in all cases to procure
a largo machine than the small sizes, a
machine that will drive the wood saw,
the corn shelter, the feed grinder, and so
on. These machines give a relatively high
efficiency at light-loads, and it is therfore,
not objectionabl to run them light. The far- j
"mer, for a small outlay of money, can pro
vide a room in which ho can set his engine
and such machines as lie desirs to run with |
it. and his wood saw may occupy an open
shed at the side of the room. A rod of cold
rooled 6tecl, mounted in hangers attached
to the overhead woodwork, makes an ex
cellent line shaft at low cost. This shaft
should run lengthwise the full length of the
room to provide for as rnanv machines as
the room will hold. The feed grinder, corn
sheller, ect., may be put together in a part
of the room separated from the balance o f
tl.n ......... V... ? o../l fl.Su
partition nun be installed the washing ma
chine, the cream separator, tlio churn, the
electric plant, etc. These machines are
driven by the line shaft by means of belts.
In the limited space alloted to this article
it is not possible to enter into a detailed
discussion of the many uses to which a
gasoline engine may be put on the farm, ,
but the winter wishes to impress on the j
farmer the fact that it is well worth the
farmer's time nnd effort to acquaint him
self with the possibilties of the gasoline
engine with reference to bin own particular
case. Manufactures and dealers are ready
to supply full and free information on re
qust. A great many people are under the
impression that the gasoline engine is a'
very unreliable and dangerous thing. This
erroneous impression is due to the fact
that the machine is not understood by
these, people. As a matter of fact the
machine is one of the simplest of prime
movers, and if kept in good order and in
proper adjustment, it is a most dependabl
ource of power. When the farmer forms
Uie liai.ui, 01 running mnvii in* irt.
uuontly and looking it over for loose nuts
and slipped adjustments, at the same time
looking carefully to thequulity of lubricat
oil he uses, ne will find that lie possesses
?s a safe, economical, and very satisfactory
power.
