INCIDENTS OF FAST RECALLED. Historical sketch of tho Grubbs Fain? Ry, ami Other Matters. AB far as 1 know, John M. Grubbs and ii I H brothers and sisters wor'o born and lMsod In Anderson county, near Helton and Honea Path. About Hie year t83?5 John M. Grubbs mar rled tho daughter of John Cox ami moved to Fork township and raised a family there. His sister, Peggy, married William Cox, a brother of John Cox. I mention Aunt Peggy and her daughter particularly for the reason that I hoarded with them for three months during tho Civil j War, and went to school. Hotsy mar ried Norris Wright, un old-time tax collector for Anderson county, at tho timo when tho negroes and the land paid nearly all tho taxes. Cona married a Robertson. Disle was married tb reo times, the surnames of her husbands hoing La ti mer, Tribblo and Hill. Stephen Shirley, a half-brother, married a Majors and raised a fa in 1 ly between Helton and Anderson. He was a soldier of tho Civil War and was buried alive at the blow-up at Petersburg, Va. His brother. George, moved to Hart county, Georgia, and settled near Shoal Creek and raised a family there. Wllllamston Grubbs remained near Honea Path and raised a family. W. T. Grubbs was born In -Fork township on April 5, 18-11. Ho and his older brother, R. W. Grubbs, vol untcodcr for tito Civil War at tho same time and Jollied Capt. J. L. Shanl<lin's company, Sloan's regi ment. This company was mndo up partly from Pondlctou and partly from Kork township. They hoarded the train at Old Pendleton In 18(51 and went to Columbia und drilled there for six or eight wooka. The regiment was then ordered to Rich mond, Va. In a short Hmo they were ordered to Manassas Junction, whore tho first big light of tho Civil War was expected to he fought. Early on Sunday morning, tho 21st of July, the F?llrtb Regiment was ordered to fall in line and got ready for Hie light. In tho meantime Capt. Whit Kilpatrlck's company was sent up the creek to guard the bridge to keep the enemy from crossing. Our lieu tenant-colonel, C. S. Mattison, sitting on Iiis horse in tho rear of tho regi ment, said to us: "Remember, men, you aro South Carolinians!" We could seo the enemy crossing the creek up above. We were soon on the march to meet. them. Tho Fourth Regiment and Major Wheat's Battal ion of Tigers, from New , Orleans, were tho first to engage the enemy that morning. Wo bold them in check for some time and then foll hack to our rogular army. They said that "we would be only a breakfast spell; that they would whip us out and go to Richmond, our capital, and have a ball that night." They got the ball so heavy at the junction that they decided to go the otherfway. Tboy were routed about the middle of tho evening and wont back townrd/Wash hlgtoil in ii panic. We had plenty of fresh troops thal Came In after th? enemy bad boon routed lb follow up pur victory, and probablj would have fulton Washington city, bul it was ordered otherwise, and our victory ended there. The saddest thing that liapponed to our company occurred the next day while we were at camp on the hank of Bull Run. Some of tho boys had been out on the battlefield and gathered np some brass shells that had not been exploded. John Lewis, one of our company, was handling one and dropped lt on Hie ground and it exploded, and one piece of he shell hit Waddle Hlllhouso and killed bim so dead he novar knew what it. was that struck him, and another piece struck Michael Bollotte about the ankle and broke his leg. 1 think the leg was amputated by Dr. P. H. E. Sloan, surgeon of the regiment. Bollotte died in a short time. At the Second Battle of Manassas my brother, R, W. Grubbs, was so badly wounded that he died in 21 days, at Warronton, Va.. My younger brother, John L. Grubbs, joined Orr's famous regiment, Capt. F. E. Harri son's company, and was severely wounded in the leg in one of the battles mid went on crutches for some time. Whoo ho was able to return to his command ho got a transfer to the Second Rffles, to bo with his brother. A the Battlo of Will's Valley, near Lookout Moun tain, ho was killed-ibo same night that Col. Whit Kilpatrick and many UFT CORNS OR CALLUSES OFF Doesn't hurt! Lift any corn or callus off with fingers Doesn't hurt a blt!

Her husband, a da ugh tor, a son and daughter-in law, Mrs. Ca they said, had all been greatly helped by Tanbie. "My husband suffered from indi gestion, and ho was troubled a lot with headaches, and also his appetite was bad. Ho complained frequently of being wonk and run-down. My daughter Mattie had about the same trouble her father did-indigestion, nervousness and terrible headaches. Mr. Cathoy thinks Tanbie is a mighty fine medicine, for it helped him so much. Now ho never complains of his trou bios for which he tool; Tan bie, and Tanbie got him in fine shape. Tho Tanina just made a new person of my daughter Mattie, and soon had hor In fine health.

Dr. Garfield explained that bis purpose was to furnish Mie confer ence data which he would uso in de termining what wage advances, if any, agreed to hy the operators and miners could be borne properly by tho public. "I represent the people of the United States in a different sense from tlie Secretary of Labor," Dr. Warfield said. "It is part of Mr. Wil son's function to effect conciliation.

Washington, Nov. 19.-Failing af ter throe attempts to ratify the ponce treaty, the Senate late to-night laitl it aside, ended the special session and wont home. All compromiso efforts to bring ratification failed, the three resolu tions of ratification going down by overwhelming majorities. The Re publican leaders, apparently de spairing of bringing two-thirds of tho Senate together for any sort of ratification, then put in a resolution to declare the w>j* at an end. Two of the three ratification votes wore taken on the resolution drafted by the Republican majority, contain ing reservations which President Wilson had told Democratic Sena tors in a letter earlier in the day would mean nullification of the treaty. On qnch of tho votes most of the Democratic supporters of the troaty voted against ratification. Defeated 50 to 30. The first vote on this resolution stood 39 to 55 against. On the sec ond vote, taken after several hours of preliminary wrangling, in which tho Democrats made vain efforts to win over some of the Republican group of mild reservation ist?, forty em* Senators, voted In th?; aillrmatlv? j o-hd P';>-OMO in tho neghrtvoj Th'ju thin! vote was on a straight oui ratification without reservations, which gol only 3 s votes to ; o oppos ing il. Only ono Republican-Sena tor McCumber, of North Dakota-? voted with the Democrats in its sup port. Tho result was to place the treaty in a parliamentary status which its enemies declared amounted at least temporarily to rojectlon. Its friends, however, had hopes of reviving it at another session of Congress. Asks Prayers of All Christians. Prod. H.
