"Washington after first Bull Run.
The book as a whole, all things
considered, is probable, the most
readable of auy produced on tither
side.
Of Longstreet himself it may be
said with truth, that no other Gen
eral on either side can parallel his
recoid as a fighter. Lee always re
ferred to him as i;my old war
boric," and his soldiers called bim
"Old Bull."
The Calhoun Monument.
A letter to tho Atlanta Constitu
tion from a Charleston cbrrespon"
dent announces that J. Massy
Rftind's heroic bronze statue of
John l>. Calhoun is ready for ship
ment and will be sent, to the city
at once, where it be placed in Cita
del square with an elaborate pro
gramme of dedicatory services.
The ninney for it was contributed
by the women of the south who
organized for the work before the
war. When the Federal army en
tere'1 Charleston Mrs. M. A. Snow
den, treasurer, had barely time to
sew the funds in the folds, of her
petticoat. In honor of Mrs. Snow
den's deed, one of the bronze tab
lets on the pedestal records it. Some
members of the committee desired
the word "gown" substituted for
petticoat, but they were voted
down. *
Thc Tillman Brothers.
The Constitutional Convention
gave to thc people of South Caroli
na a constitution good, bad, or in"
different as may be determined but
a constitution of their own mak
ing-much to be thankful for. But
it did more.
At the beginning of the session,
so we tre informed, the two Till
man brothers, George and B'tu,
were the recognized leaders of op
posing factions. More than one?
they measured lances, ona with tho
other, and each faced a foemnn
?worthy of his steel. These Jilts will
long be regarded as abb;, interest
ing, and eloquent, at times surpass
ing anything ever listened lo in
thi.-State. When the convention,
opened and for a long time , after
ward, we believe, they did not
speak. But a few night ? before that
body adjourned, it was whispered
about the hall that a reconciliation
had taken place arid when num jr-1
ons eyes turned in the direction of
the sea!s usually occupied by them
it was noted that the brothers were
in earnest conversation. The Sena
tor with his baud affectionately
resting upon his brother's shoul
der and'"Uncle" George regarding
Ben as a father would hts son. It
must have been a pleasing sight to
see these two great men, the last of
seven brothers, re-uniied. Th?y
were about to part, aud who knows
but for tho last time, for fate is
ever Uncertain. They soon disap
peared, arm in arm through the
same doorway. Brotherly love had
overleaped the barrer of political
differences. Within the space of a
few moments some Carolina histo
ry was written-and no'bing can
make a brighter page or paint a
grauder moral than this the last
scone in the last act of the great
play, "The Constitution."
LEGISLATIVE.
IX THE HOUSE.
In the House of Representative
Edgefield is taking as usualrp very
conspicuous place. Mr. L. J. Wil
liams has introduced a bill to
abolish the Citadel Acadamy and
made a lengthy speech thereon.
Mr. Williams holds the tenets in
this matter that Senator Tillman
started out with when Reform was
young.
By Mr. Thurmond-Concurrent
resolution to refer certain articles
of tho Constitution to certain joint
committees.
By Mr. Thurmond-To amend
the law relating to the formation
of new school districts, substitu
ting a new section for section 1008.
By Mr. Rainsford-To amend
the act abolishing the department
of agriculture and turning that
branch of the government over to
the Clemsou trustee so as to re
quire the funds to be turned over
to the State Treasurer.
Mr. Williams-To impose a tax
on dogs and to dispose of the funds
arising therefrom.
The bill is unique. It provides
for metalic dog tags, to be paid for
in money or in worthless dog
scalps. Officers have to act as ex
ecutioners and certify that the
scalp taken off after death comes
from a dog over 2 years of age.
THE CITADEL WIXS.
The Citadel won a victory in the
House on Saturday last as follows :
The regular routine business hav
ing Leen completed, the Citadel
panie up. Mr. V/. j". Johnson of
Fairfield moved to postpone the
debate until Monday as many
member8 were absent.
M r. McSweeney suggested Thurs
day as tho proper dav and the
suggestion was accepted by Mr.
Johnson.
Mr. Thurmond demanded tho
ayes and noes on adjourning the
debate until Thursday, with tho re
sult that the debate was not ad
journed by a vote of 48 to 53.
Mr. Thurmond, in speaking of
the measure, said that the Citadel
was notan institution which poor
boya could attend. The South Car
olin-.?. College. Clemson and the de
nominational colleges give every
?>ke very advantage to obtain a
H?r education. The abolition
BB Citadel was promised by the
.Mm movenient, and people in
.^kction want it abolished. It

African-American Gold Mining
and Trading Company,
WO BRO AD WA Y, NE IV YORK CITY.
OUR COUNTRY NEEDS IT-GOLD!
Tho principal objects of this company aro to buy,
sell and operate gold mines.
Perhaps you cannot afford to buy an entire gold
mine, but you can havo an interest in several valu
able ones through us.
Enormous fortunes have been male in gold min
ing, but never were tho opportunities greater than
they aro to-day.
The ownership of a few shares of our stock may
make you rich.
Some of tho wealthiest men of to-day became so
through mining. Tho cry of the whole world is for
Gold 1 and its value and necessity is being more
fully appreciated each day.
All precious mineral discoveries are practically
gifts to tho people. Each person is entitled to what
bo can fairly get. Whynot try for yourself through
us now ?
Splendid opportunics for securing great bargains
in mines come to us constantly. Our agents are re
porting from the gold fields of this continent and
from Africa. Tho company owns two promising
properties in Cripplo Creek. We propose to develop
ono of tho most remarkable, well-proven placer
mines in tho world, lt has already produced about
$2,000,000 by crudo si'-faco working, and ia esti
mated to contain over S2S,000,00^ In gold.
Now ?3 the time to invest wi?j us. Do not wait
until every man, woman and child is eager to buy
*nd prices havo advanced enormously.
In 1887 the first shipments of gold, amounting to
less than $000,000, were made from South Africa.
In 1894 the production was nearly $40,000,000. It is
estimated that works under way and contemplated
will produce $100,000,000 per year.
Less than five years ago Cripple Creek was un
known as a mining camp. In 1802 it produced
5200,000. It Is now r reducing $1,000,000 per month.
Two old men, tired out and almost hopeless, not
many years since clung desperately to a small hoi?
in tho ground which showed some traces of gold.
That hole has slnco yielded over $2,000,000.
Thc Idaho Mino bas paid nearly 30,000,000 in
dividends, the Crown Point nearly $12,000,000, the
Belcher over $15,000,000.
We know of no other prominent industry paying
such largo dividends on capital invested as fully
developed producing gold mines. Tho rate of 25 per
cent, per annum is quite common, while phenom
enal returns are made in many instances.
We offer for sale 50,000 shares of our capital stock
at the i:ur value
$10 PER SHARE.
Payable $2 per share on applicaUon and $1 fort
nightly, beginning Feb. 1, 1S06. However, those
desiring to pay in full can secure certificates of fuH
paid stock at once.
