In Memory of a Gallant Soldier. To the Editor of the Dispatch: It is with much sadness that I learn of the untimely death of my old friend and comrade, "Major E. R. Quattlebaum, and it is through the columns of your valued, paper that I would like to add a few incidents and facts to last week's sketch of his noble life. It was my pleasure to know him in the organization of the 20th S. C. Volunteer Regiment, commanded by Col. L. M. Keith, in October 1862, at the old race track near Columbia, S. C. He was only a few years my n nnMo monlr rAnncr man SC111U1 , CL iiu uiv. J wauij J vuug - " and a perfect model of a soldier. We became bosom friends and this friendship never lessened to this day. He was made sergeant-major of this grand old regiment from the ranks of captain in Harman's Co. K., and held this position with great credit to himself and his county up and until the 13th of October, 1884. We were sent to reinforce Gen. J. B. Early, in the .valley of Virginia. By we I mean Kershaw's Old Division. On this day we marched some 20 miles in the rain, arriving at this point 3 miles beyond Strausbuxg, Va. When we engaged the enemy behind a rock fence we were, hungry, worn out with fatigue from this force march. After two hours of hard fighting we dislodged Sheridan's forces from behind this fence. When our line reached this fence we held it for some time against a fusilading fire from the enemies' pickets behind rail piles. M. T. Smoak and myself of Co. B,, which was in the extreme left of the regiment, passed through this fence and took up a position some aundred yards in front of Leaphart's company ait the top of the hill," where we kept up a continued firing at these pickets. Very soon Gen. James Connor, our commander, and no braver man ever went into war, rode Up to where Smoak and I were and seeing the advantage of our position, called to Sergt. Quattlebaum to bring our regimental colors, then carried by Sergt. G. D. Sellers. As soon as he arrived the regiment cleared the rock fence and formed line of battle. Before the line was completed, tnougn,a snen iromwieenemies guns, stationed a mile beyond us across Cedar creek, exploded near us and a piece of this shell broke Gen. Connor's ieg. Sergt. Quattlebaum, with four others of "the litter corps, picked him up and were carrying him to the rear, when another shell from this same gun exploded, killing one or two of the men. A piece of it as large as your hand struck Sergt. Quattlebaum behing the right shoulder blade, carrying away the blade and a lot of flesh. He'too was carried off the field as dead. Our command marched back to Fishing Hill that night and took up quarters. The following day Col. S. B. Boykin sent for me. He directed me to get ud a list of the killed and wounded. I made report of the casualties of this engagement and reported Sergt.- Quattlebaum mortally wounded. I continued to fill this position until we surrendered. In 1867, after mourning my friend as dead for four years, I got on the train at St. Matthews, S. C., for Orangeburg. You can imagine my surprise to meet him on this train, a hale, hearty young man, on his way to Poughkeepsie, N. Y., where he went to school. I had never been able to find him since. I loved him as a brother. Therefore my deep and heartfelt sympathies are extended to his loved ones. F. M. Pooser, Co. B. 20th S. C. Volunteers. Augusta, Ga., Dec. 11, 1906. How's This?

Coney and James Clark, two prominent young men of Columbia, were arrested on Thursday last by Southern railway detectives for forg1ing a bill of lading for ten bales of cotton shipped from Pelion.

Senatar Tillman is probably the only American statesman the woman members of whose household trust to select hats, gowns and oth^rmillineiy dear to the masculine eye. The Soutii Carolinian is somewhat careless about his own attire, but in the matter of feminine dress he has developed such fine taste that his wife and daughter depend upon his judgement in the selection of their hat, gowns, wraps, etc. He never goes to a large city that he does not carry back home some article of attire for Mrs. or Miss Tillman, and, curiously enough, he keeps up with the latest modes more carefully than they do. It is a rare treat to hear him criticise the dress of women he sees in the streets* or meets at social functions. With judgment that is declared to be unerring he can tell whether or not a woman finely Hi C33CU 11C19 H iopici^ Cil guuu L*?uv '11 the cut of her gown, the style of her hat or the combination of" colors in one or both. For a man who has led so busy and strenuous a life as Senator Tillman few people would suspect that he has developed 90 fine a taste. In the matteruof flo\ve :s he is also a connoisseur. "He has on his plantation in South Carolina one of the finest . flower gardens in the United States, and his great chum, Former Senator Chandler, enjoys nothing better than a visit to the Tillman home, or a gift of rare roses from the Tillman garden. The Tillmans have great boxes of these flowers sent to them about once a week whenever they are in Washington in the winter.?Washington Herald. Danger in Asking Advice.

Jeremiah Timothy Weed was born April 29th, 1S24, and died Dec. 3rd, 1900, aged 82 years, 7 months and 4 days. He was a consistent member of the Methodist church. He joined Capt. Nunnamaker's company at the beginning of the war and served to the close. He leaves six children, besides a host of relatives, friends and comrades, to mourn his loss.

"Christmas has become a burden almost too great to be borne. Think | of the many weary hours the business world is now laboring overtime to take care of the extra work entailed by the proximity of Chritmas, many a tender heart which longs to discharge the obligations thrust upon it by the gifts of friends in former years, and yet which is unable to respond to the expectation.
