I On the maps of the world you'll find it not; Twas fought by the mothers of men. Nay, hot with cannon or battle shot, With sword or nobler pen ; Nay, not with eloquent word or thought Tram mouth of wonderful men. But deep in a wailed-up woman's ' heart Of woman that would not yield, But bravely, silently bore her part Lo! there is the battle-field. No marshaling troop, no bivouac song, I No baener to gleam and wave! But oh, these battles! they last so j long1 From babyhood to the jrrave! [JOAQUIN MILLEU. GREAT GENERALS. By Col. Theodore Dodge of the United j States Army. CESAR. Caius Julina Caesar wa,e ihe most useful man of- antiquity ; do ing equally good work as states man and soldier. It is only as a j soldier we are to study hun. Cosar came of good stock. In youth he was one of the dandies of Rome, but commanded respect. Salla remarked : "That it would .be well to hayer an eye to yonder . dandy." PUt is. worth, noting that the so-' called "exquisites" have generally made good soldiers from the days of Alexanders ,. "Companions down to the time of Wellington, who' wrote home foom the penin ?^;sittla for "another regiment of | v.? dandies." Caius Julius had been a weakly lad, but gymnastics and. a right regimen had given him a fair physique, his education had been attended to, and he early made reputation as a lawyer and Orator, held several public offices and be came a leader of the young upper tendom of Rome. Caesar did nothing, however, which showed any exceptional force of characterjintil he was middle-aged mau. His foe, Pom . pey, waa surnamed "the Great"'at r~iour. Coear'e distinguished liarnot .opeu^uutu ne was ] forty-twof' His opportunity came when he I wa6 chosen consul with Gaul as | , his province. Both he and Pom pey belonged to the triumvirate that governed the Roman state, but Pompey was the leader. Cosar saw that if ho could subdue the Gauls-^always the terror of Rome he would be the great national herb. He saw, too, that while fighting the barbarians he would be creating an army of veterans with which he could rise to sole control. His way of approaching the new . business of war shows that Cosar considered first the "strategic sit uation," jost as Alexander or Han nibal would have done. In those days "strategy'* WAS understood as a science. Tactics -the art of maneuvering troops on the battle - field--was well de veloped. Strategy has been called the art pf moving troops on the map. It is the art of moving armies over a large section of country in such a manner as to place the enemy ata disadvantage. Cosar made a study of the na tural features of Gaul-its moun tains, river?, forests, and coast J lines. Then he formed a general scheme of conquest. Some of the chiefs of Gaul were very able men, but in eight years Cosar made the country a Roman province. Shortly after Cosar and Pom pey found themselves arrayed in j arms against each other-the other member of the triumvirate, Crassus, had died. Pompey stood for the aristocratic party-Cosar for democratic ideas. Pompey had vastly larger, re sources, but Cosar in ten months had driven him over into Greece and himself held all Italy. He marched into Spain and captured and disbanded Pompey's seven legions there. Then he went into Greece with his veterans and fought Pompey again, and Pompey fled to Egypt; whither Cosar leis urely followed." There wewy campaigns in Africa and Asia, biit the end was that after only fourteen years of war this man, who wa? not bred a soldier, stood monarch of Rome in all but the name, and controller of the whole of tho then-known world. How was i! ? :v"* ; He had gono into the business of war with a trained brain in the maturity of its superb vigor. His intellectual grasp of any situation .was perfect. His control of men was complete; his character im. posed on every one that ever proached him. His ner strength enabled him to und any toil, any strain. And Cosar was always lu He knew the fact and seemec rely on it. He often did th: glaringly care??ss..

Why I Support Tillman. Greenville News. I am a supporter of Ben Ti man ; once npon time I was not. I opposed him from impuli which means I did not under6tai the situaton at that time ; nov Bupport him from principle. I did not change my vic because I thought "office in sigh for I have never held office ai will never, pf my own choosing. Governor Tillman also, as far i I know, has a cordial dislike f me because I ?.aid, "Ben, the Tex* cowboy, lassoed Ben, the farm* at ?very turn" on the sub-treasu: bill at Spartanburg; the truth I could not help saying it, for was.so. .. . . ?j^v ~rl do not'sai^^row ??? pu whether Tillman or anybody. eh likes or dislikes me:; I. can, ac always do. dig for myself. N( ivould I support or oppose a ma for office for either of these rei sons. I want to know if he stands o principle, and if his principles ai right. But to the point. In referrir to my le tter in The Cotton Plai you state that "I mix things an give no plausible reason fe supporting Tillman." I am prou to come under the witticism of ? brilliant a writer as yourself ; bi I must say that* from your stanc point "things* doubtless loo mixed," and will continued to loo mixed so long as you persist i mixing thejn*. ?You:"Btatev that national * issue have no place in State politic upon which I will agree with yo when you have explained tha Boies und Campbell did not ru on the tariff issue in their r< spective States, or that tariff is nc a national issue. I think tha there should and can be but on issue in State politics : a pun honest, popular and ,economica government, or contra. Such government in State neaps sue a one m nation. Do you really want to knoi why I support Tillman? I wil tell you whether you do or not ?ls Because he is the leader an champion pf a pure,- econ?mica and popular government. 2. Because, without experienc he has horse sense enough to clea the path of every obstruction tba such devils as yourself put in th way of a popular government. 3. Because he has done the bee he could do under the adverse cir cumstances that the oppositioi has caused to surround his ever act. 4. Because I have every reasoi to believe that he is sincere an< honest. 5. Because he insists upou run Ping the government instead o leaving it to corporations ai formerly. 6. Because he has the grit tx stick to right if he gits licked That's the kind of man I am. 7. And because to toll the truth I just naturally like him, becaus* Hike the principles he represents If these are not reasons enougr. send down and I will give yoe some more. A word about our dailj newspapers-they are "arnoosir cusses." Sometimes the News is righi and sometimes it is wrong ; there foro it will not do to take it as a weathercock. The State does j not try to be right, so i s not open j to criticism. The News and Courier gets on both sides of every j question andris wrong on both, j It is a sound rule to lay down [ one that I have long since adopted j -to favor everything that journal I opposes; that a man is a good) man that is attacked by it, etc. The Columbia ?egister-?well 1 Larry is a daisy ; I have but one j objection to him. . Once I saw two men about to get iii a fight; one had a shotgun and by way of unnerving his antagonist remarked that the gun was loaded with four ounces of | powder and forty buckshot. A n ? ol d man, who was laboring toquiet them and who, by the way, was standing at the butt end of the gun, yelled that there was as much danger behind as in front of the gun. Just so with Larry; he is dangerous at both ends. There is no teliiiug at which end he is going to "bust," therefore l am afraid to fool with the cussed thing -it is risky. I hope they will all live in peace and happiness and die of a greeu old age-for they don't do any political harm. I am a friend of the press-have a always been, except a press of hard times and a press for money, Rpsectfu?iy, WM. C. WOLFE. Wolfe's Plantation, March ll. Mechanism of the Heart. In the human subject the average rapidity of the cardiac pulsation of an adult male is about seventy beats per. minute. These beats are more frequent as a rule in young children and in women, and there are variation's within cerfain limits in peculiar persons owing to peculiarities of organiza tion. , It would not necessarily be an abnormal sign to find in some particular individuals the habitual frequency Of the heart's act* seventy fiveto eight per minute. As a rule, the heart's action is slower and more powerful in fully developed and muscular organiza tions, and more rapid and feebler in those of slighter, form. In animals, the range is from twenty five to forty-five in the cold blooded and fifty upward in the warm blooded animal-3, except in the case of a horse, which has a very slow heart beat, only forty strokes a minute. The pulsations of men and all animals differ with the sea level also. The work of a healthy human heart has been shown to equal the feat bf raising five tons four hundred weight one foot per hour, or 125 tons in twenty-four hours. The excess of this work under alcohol injvary ing qu?ntitles is often very great. A curious calculation has been made by Dr. Richardson, giving the work of the heart in mileage. Presuming that the blood was thrown out of the heart at each pulsation in the proportion of 69?strokes per minute and at the assumed force of 2 feet, the mileage of the blood through the body might be taken at 207 yards per minute, 7 miles per hour, 168 miles per day, 61, 320 miles per year; or 5,150,880 miles in a lifetime of 84 years. The number of the heart in the same long life would reach the grand total of 2,869,776,000.-Medical World. -__--^_ Dame Fashion has never pre sented us with a costume more dis tasteful to the eye than the Rus sian costume. There is nothing either pretty or stylish' about it, and I imagine only those who go to the extreme in fashion will adopt it. The skirt is tho regular bell skirt with a band of trim ming around the bottom, but the blouse is what is so ugly ; has the appearance of a long, loose sacque, with a yoke, and belted in at the waist. It will only suit a very slender, graceful figure. Long ribbon sashes that reach to the bottom of the dress are very much worn, not only on evening dresses, but street dresses. Ribbon and lace will be used very much for trimming this summer. Also belts with wash dresses and round waists. Says Edward Atkison : There are two things needed in these days first, for rich men to find out how poor men live ; and second, foi poor men to know how rich men work. The number of paupers in Lon don, England, is estimated at from 95,000 to 105,000. ANIN,TERVlEM1fiW; C/B?I^T;ABITO HE REGARDS THE POLITICA L ?T??? ATION AS SERIOUS. FARMERS* MOVEMENT IN DANGER. ?

A BBEviLLB, 8. :C^: March Special to the Regj?ter.-^o?Bid^ ?rable interest haying been aroused by reoenf lit&rances of Hoik | W? C. Benet, a representative of'the Register called on him to-day fori the purpose of securing an inter? f view. 1 '7-, ? ? ' . "Mr. Benet," said the reporter, "since your leadership of the fight in the House of Representatives j for the Agricultural College youjj have beeb prominently identified J with . tho Farmers' Movement. Would you object to giving me an J interview upon the political situa- f tion in this State?" "Not at all. The political pitas/' tion I regard as very serious; Thar Democracy of South Carolina is in great danger of dissolution. Tbs strong hatred of Governor Till man which possesses many of our: leading men, and which is more, than two years old, and dates from his Benne tte vii le speech of seven or eight-years ago, seems to have, deprived them of political eye sight; and they appear to be bent in their blindness on him, no matter at what cost to the ? Democratic party. "Deep-seated antipathy to the Farmers' Movement is another strong motive in the hearts of 3 these men. Add to these the dis? appointment and mortification' at their own overwhelming defeat' twp; years ago, and the.triumph of comprehend ^the . state bf which has brought about the call, ing of this March convention. "The Thirteen who called the convention are, with one or two exceptions, representatives of the class who controlled this State from 1876 to 1890. Their powder was overthrown in 1890 by Till man and the farmers. Loss of j leadership is never pleasant. De feat by political enemies of an other party is bad enough, but de feat by the uprisen mass of their own party is mortifying, not to be borne, and never to be forgotten or 'liv'-- . forgiven.' "Tillman was a new man. He carno unbidden. He had not been put in training. by those who: ar? ranged the biennal rac es'for 'public office. He was not of their set. They had never met him in society; or in official circles, He had none' of the customary and approved credentials, no war record, no Wal lace House fame, no South Caro lina College diploma, not even a Citadel comradeship ; yet he won the race, the rest were nowhere. And, worst of all, he captured the crowd, that well-drilled army bf the Democracy that hail so docilely ojbeyed.the commands of the old political leaders for fourteen yearn and more-they, almost in a body, went over to Tillman and' chose him their leader. "This was a grand surprise. Bui ? it is a great mistake to suppose it was only a campaign incident. It was a revolution. It changed com pletely the title to political power ; it took it from the hands of a few and placed it in the hands of th* I people. And there it will stay if j the people are true to themselves. "Political power now flows in a new channel-a channel so deep and with a current so strong thai their March Convention will strive1 in-vain to change or stem its course, unless their action brings about a bolt from the party and a bid, as in 1890, for the R?publi I can vote." "What effect will this new move ment have on the Democracy of South Carolina? "It will, I fear, greatly disor ganize the party, unless the lead ers in the movement by precept and example prevent their follow ers from bolting. This calling of a March Convention, after tho call issued by the Executive Commit tee of the regular Democracy of the State, is a vote of want of con fidence in that committee ; and it will dispose of the minds of many to disregard the authority of that committee and of the regular Dem $?o you think there ia any < ijij&f a split, by reason of 0$- foi a convention of the j jraites and it^ti-^^^j^ PP'did not. think "in 1890 t wag danger ,.of a: split; and until the Haskellite conven met ?nd nominated an indepj Blicket did ? believe' a "?p?t 5 sible.

"It is well known, Mr. Ben? that you did not support Govern* Tillman in the last election unt after h 9 received the nominatic of the Democratic party. Whi do you think of Tillman Wa Go erne*?"

But i. what he actually bas done as Go\ ernor, I fail to see he has falle below the standard of forme Democratic Governors. In th Coosaw litigation, the Cantwel case, the Agricultural Hall eas and the proper taxation of bank and railroads, his administrado: has been working in the right di rection, and its work will ulti mately redound to tho good of th State. In spite of his animad versions on Judge Wallace, in hi official message, I do not bel io v he desires to dominate the judici ?ry. The election of Judge. Mc Iver to the office of Chief Just ic proves that. Judge Norton an? Judge FrarVir, too, were re-electei during his administration, an they are not regarded as arden supporters or subservient follower ! of Tillman. Then, there is th establishment of the Industria College for girls, a thing to b proud of ; and I may add tho es tablishment of Clemson College for without Tillman it would neve have been established. His ad ; ministration has been marked bj great activity in all its depart I : : - . ' . mente of work-by. too great ac tivity, some may think; ; but rarely action ie more wholesome than the delightful do-nothing torpor and stagnation which characterized some.former admin*! istrations. When the time comes, Goyernoir. Tillman will give an account of his stewardship,, j and he will meet the attacks of his ad versaries assaliently and as suc cessfully as he did in 1890. Put, apart from, the question of Till man's merits or demerits, I be lieve his enemies have rendered Lie re-election a political neces sity. The safety of the . State Democrat io party demands, it. The cont inuance of white man's rule demands it. The success of the Faariers' Movement demands it. If they ignore the last, cer tainly the men of the March con vention must own that Democratic rule and white supremacy are of mon importance than the defeat or the re-election of Tillman." "What do you think of General Hampton's letter to The State? ' "On that subject, like our lead ing daily journals, I would rather be silent. Governor Tillman may be imprudent in what he says and writes, bat he certainly has never taught doctrine like that contained in the opening paragraph of that letter. General Hampton says : " 'If. the 'dominant party,' as ' those members of the ring like to call themselves, refuse that de maud of those opposed to them, my opinion is that the convention which is to meet this month, should- have a primary, and if the . result shows, as I have no doubt it will, that the opponents of the present ^ministration are in a j majority, tliey, as the true Demo eratic party, shouUl assume control, not only of the policy to be puf sued in the approaching canvass, but of ] the State itself : " , .. . ... ? - . i "You will do woH ..to print the j last four lines in italics..

He says the par agi apb. is fraught with, mis chief;' that *thiB. declaration pf General Hampton is dangerous and revolutionary;',that if 'such a suicidal policy' were adopted by the March convention 'it would mean the Anal dissolution of the white man's party in South Caro lina, and the speedy overthrow of the white man's eupremecy in the government of the State.! So says Colonel Hoyt, and I .cannot dis agree with him. I can only wait and see if the coming March con vention, ia going to follow Hamp ton's, lead.", .L j j "What ia your, opinion . about the, demand for a direct State pri mary?" "Well, it does sound. strange to hear thia demand made by the op ponents of Tillman. I cannot forget that when I offered a reso lution for a direct State primary in the State Convention of 1386, while Captain Tillman supported my resolution, it was defeated, by the very influences which now are to be represented in this March Convention. The main argument against it was its im praotibility and unwieldiness, and that it would swamp the low country vote. "For my part, I am still in favor of a direct primary, and it may be Tillman and his friends favor it too. Bat, let be clearly ' stipulated that it shall be a primary at which only white Democrats shall be per mitted to vote. The indirect pri mary for delegates was, I under stand, suggested to meet both the impractibility argument and the objections of the low-country Counties. Be very sure, however, that if this March Convention, acting under General Hampton's advice, should order a primary, such a primary will be confined to the friends of the March Con vention and will be ignored by the regular Democratic party. "Allow mc to add that some newspapers' are suggesting that my speech at the Abbeville farm er's meeting on the 7th inst, indi cates that I am a candidate for Congress or for some State office. You will state for me that such is not the ?ase. I am seeking no office. In thot regard my views are as disinterested as are those of any member of the March Con vention."

Jim Akers, a small, tow headed, knock-kneed man, with irregular teeth which made his month look like a steel trap twisted all ont of plumb, says the Southern Bivouac. His wife was a large, raw boned woman, fully ahead taller and if ty pounds heavier than Jim. She, had the temper of a half famished wild cat, and no darkey*just 'gittin' religion'was ever half as much afraid of the devil as Jim was of her; he had reason to. be. When she was fairly on. the warpath she breathed chain lightning and flung cyclones from the tip of her tongue. Nor did she content herself with words only,. however bitter, .and furious. She very often brushed the poor little wretch with a hickory until he felt as if he had borrowed his back of a saint fresh from the gridiron. One bright, golden, delicious afternoon m the latter part of May, Jim left the patch where he had been hard at work all day and 'snuck een' to his cabin by the back way. He proceeded hastily to doff his every day clothes and don his Sunday garments, casting furtive glances all the while at the black browed, terrible dame sitting in the doorway knitting. With trembling haste he completed his preparations and was shambling ou: again, when his wife, pre viously apparently oblivous of his presence, shot a. fierce glance at him, which made him jump almost out offris shoes and brought tho perspiration out from every poire. 'Whar you boun' fur? she asked, 'I 'lowed I wuz gwine down to the fish fry a hour or two. Them boys is a nevin'--' 'Well, you 'lowed wrong. You jest histe off them clothes, and go t bask inter that patch and finish hoeing them pertaters. Don't you J distress yourself a 'bout no fish . fries'. 'But Ed Sykes and Hank Evans cTrtrerT58o^ 2 disappoint 'ern/ J 'Well, I'd rather you would. Shet up now, and do ez you're told.' . - ] Jim gasped and quaked with ] fei.r; but for the first time in \ many years' he thoroughly realized the tyrany under which he was crushed. His heart was set on ' going to a fish fry, and in that i feeble fluttering little organ a . faint shadow, a dim eidolon,of spirit became suddenly aroused. He hesitated a moment, ventured even to return, the gaze of those glowing,, wrathful eyes and then started saying. 'Well, I'm a-gwine.' Great Jehosaphat ! Houp-la ! She swooped on him like an owl on a mouse. The air was filled and darkened with dust and sandy hair and agonizing shrieks. Ed Sykes and Hank Evans, at the 'crossroads,' became convinced that Jim's cabin had caught fire, and that he was perishing in the flames. They rushed in all haste to his. assistance, but as they neared the spot the clatter subsided, and they .heard a stern feminine voice which caused them to halt and keep, ont of sight, say : 'flow I reckon you'll do ez yer tole.' ? Then they recognized Jim's pi ping voice, protesting between' con vulsive sob : 'I'd sorter giv out gwine befo' you spoke.' $ A. VAX.TJAJBLE PRESENT.
