was probably about the middle of
the Eighteenth Century that the first ! cf
of the name came from the Rhine du

part of what we now know as Lex frc

who grew to manhood at his father's Pe
home near the present town of Leesville.
He was educated in the com- ^

entirely in the German language Je!
which was taught exclusively among H<
the earlier settlers. i ye:
In early life he married Sarah, a : re]
daughter cf Henry and Eve Weaver, I Se
and settled near his childhood's home.
There were four sons cf this mar- gt.|
riage, all of whom moved West and or(
Dnly returned at occasional intervals
and on short visits to the old home. ve]
The only daughter, Mary, married the ge]
well known Capt. Wm. Howard and gj.,
passed her life near where she grew ecj
to womanhood. She died a few years ; aQ
since, having attained the extreme j
age of ninety-one. Captain Quattle- wj

Thomas married Epsie Jackson and -Df
lived a long and useful and honored v

Adjutant General of Maury's
Texas Brigade. Some of the episodes
of his army life while connected with
this gallant command read like the
romances of the middle ages. At
fho rdnse rf the war he was in com

with the rank of Colonel. It is told
that he was really appointed Brigadier
General before the close of the
war, but his credentials never reached
him. Some years of bis life were
passed at his old home after the
downfall of the Confederacy. He
was afterwards placed in charge of
the government improvements on the
Chattanooga and Flint rivers with

How Soldiers Were Fed in China.
The Washington correspondent of
the Philadelphia Public Leger gives j
this interesting account of the man .
ner in which the different armies of ;
Ctiina are fed, clothed and otherwise j
provided foi:
CaDtain Thomas FrankliD, of the I
commiseioDary department, who was
on duty with the United States |
troops in China, was designated to (
examine and report upon the equip- !
I ment and provisions made for main'
taining the troops of the several '
m,
COLUMBIA, 8.
Prompt Attention.
Oct
nations on duty in China and tc
especially observe how the American
troops compared with those of the
other nations.
Captain Franklin in his report declares
that the American soldier was
the best fed and best cared for of all
the allied army, and was the best all
round fighting maD. The soldier required
and received better food than
the soldier of any other army, a fact
which astonished European military
officers. "When a British officer, who
had observed the quality and quantity
of supplies issued to the American
soldier, inquired how often the
excellent bacon that was issued was
given the men, was informed they
could have it three times if they desired,
he was incredulous. But,"
while our supplies cf every desciiption
were more geDerou9 in quantity
and superior in quality than those of
other nations, they were not packed
with the same care to insure safe
transportation and ready handling.
In this particular the British and
Japenese were in advance of the
others. With the Japanese few packages
exceeded in weight 100 pounds
and were arranged to fit the coolie
labor. Considerable quantities of
' ?1 U*. iU A A mAfiAona in

transit because of weight of the
packages, which was 600 pounds
These were difficult to handle and in
coDStquence were liable to accident
aDd breakage, with inevitable loss by
theft. In the British army the
weight of packages was limited to
160 pounds for pack animals, which
enabled them to be moved easily and
rapidly. Except a generous supply
of ammunition, the Russians did not
seem to have aoy stores to move
Most of the supplies for the F/encb
aimy were purchased in the east, for
the reason that they were dispatched
hurriedly from France. Their com
missaries, therefore, could Dot be
cnmnared with that of the United
States.
The Germans were handicapped
with big packagep, and in that respect
were as bad as the United
States. In addition to bulk, the
packages were sufficient in strength,
leading to breakage and consequent
loss.
In addition to rice, bread, dried
fish and tea, the Japanese ration was
varied with beef and mutton. The
Silkbs used only mutton or goat, !,ut
the Mohammadans ate everything,
-1- mL _ T> .- ,3
except porK. iue xtussiaua dccujcu
to have do commissary, and practically
lived on black bread and a soup
made of every and anything, yet
they thrived and were apparently
contented. The Russians, however,
had cooking arrangements superior
to the others. Upon a springless
carriage was mounted an iron furnace
under a boiler with a water
jacket. Into this boiler the Russians
put everything in the way of material
for soup that came into their possession.
The cover was then screwed
dowr, the fire lighted and the perambulating
caldron was sent after
its company. When camp was
made, all the men bad to do was to
stack their arms and march past the
soup mi chine. As they passed each
soldier received his ration of hot,
well cooked, thick soup, which was
drawn from a faucet. Meanwhile
the cook wa9 chopping bread with a
hatchet. The bread seemed to have
been made of equal parts of braD,
sand aDd sawdust, aDd was sour.
The Russians looked hearty and
strong, therefore it is inferred th*y
thrived on their diet.

Children keep cooler than grown- w
up people, because they keep think- W
ing about something else. se
If the best child could only look tv
as innoceDt as tbe worst woman, do- tb
body would ever koow who ought to
get the whipping. *
The only difference between the w
man who thinks women can't fQol him ^
and the man who knows they can, is cc
That he gets fooled a little oftener. ()j
When a woman is very positive she
is Dever certain. te
The longer a man lives tbe more he 2;
has to live for and the more he has to m
live without. g.
When a man gets married there is
at least one woman that he loses all

The average man would rather

have his wife act like the devil and '
look like an angel than to act like an

It always seems like a miracle to a
man the way a woman will manage a
big bat, a long skirt, and a bundle

When Eve bit into the apple 6he ^
probably told the snake that she was
tired of forever taking her husband's
advices. d
As far as appearances go, a woman P
will act more comfortably while her e<
heart is bleeding than she does when ^
i she has a hang nail. ^
i The first two months the maD a:
would take the baby up in the garret
and hide it if he thought his wife or C)
the nurse wouldn't catch him at it. a!
There is a certain way a girl fixes
a lamp when a man is coming to call 81
on her which she calls "just enough h
lit."
It makes a girl look awfully mad S]
! to catch herself yawniDgaod realizes tl
that she has caught it from a man h
that she just hates. tl
When a man hates another man the w
worst it is for the least reasoD, when fc
a woman loves a man the best, it is s<
when he is the least worthy. a
