It CG' was probably about the middle of the Eighteenth Century that the first ! cf of the name came from the Rhine du and found a home in the western part of what we now know as Lex frc ington. Here, December 1st, 1774, an was born Cantain John Ouattlenaum. bii ? -V 7 | who grew to manhood at his father's Pe home near the present town of Leesville. He was educated in the com- ^ mon schools of U"e community and aD 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 baum lost his wife in 1809, and dur- | -g-( mg tbe iollowmg year marriea j>?eta, wj the only daughter of Thomas Burkett, who was a gallant officer in the Revolutionary War, and his father's ^ comrade under the immortal Marion. 5 u To this marriage were born four sons, Paul, Thomas, Walter and Joseph ^ Thomas married Epsie Jackson and -Df lived a long and useful and honored v life in his quiet country home- near the head waters of the North Edisto river a few miles south of the now ^ thriving town of Batesburg.

He was j widely known and greatly respected aD for his high Christian character. \T Paul, the eldest son, is the subject of this paper. Capt. Quattlebaum, after his second marriage, moved to Ligbtwood creek, of four miles south of Leesville, and pr constructed lumber and flour mills C and engaged extensively in farming, j while he followed as well his avoca- A. tion as a gunsmith. The "Quattle baum Rifles," his own handiwork, &. were long famous in the country I "c around.

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 H'UU wtie luat ujr wo iiuicuk/nua iu 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.
