HISTORIC Soldiers in the Eev( N'es I ? Columbia S Visitors to the State capitol often ask to see the great seal of the State, Francis Marion's sword, the mace sent over by George III., the original grant book, (showing the grant of territory to settlers in the 17th century, An drew Jackson's will, and other his torical treasures in the secretary of State's office. But there are many valuable old books and papers hidden away in dark recesses which are really more valuable from an historical standpoint. . Yesterday while looking for some records of land deeds, etc.. Prof. R. Means Davis found some extremely interesting documents which tell of old colonial days and of the struggle for independence from Britain's rule. These papers are principally the pay rolls and clothing accounts of Sumter's men in the Revolutionary war. t The official returns are there j signed by Cols. Henry Hampton, j Middleton, Hill and their captains, j The utter absence of red tape, as j compared with the methods of the ! present United States army, is the i first thi?g which attracts attention. \ The clerical work and chirography is i in many instances beautiful, and will ! compare with the \ ork of expert pen- j men of this day. , J Another very remarkable thing is ' that the soldiers were paid off, or j were promised pay in negroes. It will be news to South Carolinians even that the negro was ever used as legal tender. A negro is said in those days ! to have been valued at a hundred i pounds, nearly $500. As a "grown j negro" was a private soldier's pay for ! ^sten months, his wages must, have j been about $50 a month, or the prom- j ise of that much. !m . ? The sergeants received one and one- j quarter negroes for the ten months ! service. ; The interesting question ? arises, how did they manage about the quarter of a negro? One of the old papers entitled, "Pay list of Capt. Barnett's troop in Lient. Coi. Henry Hampton's regiment of Light Dragoons, commanded by Brig. Gen. Sumter, 16th March, 1782," will give some idea of the pay of the sol dier in those days. From this paper it seems that for ten months the pay of Jacob Barnett, captain, was two grown negroes. An drew Baxter, first lieutenant, was due one grown and one small negro; James Flannagan, second lieutenant, received the same pay, one grown and one small negro. Samuel Barnett, first sergeant, and six other sergeants, received nearly as much pay as the lieutenants, each sergeant receiving one and one quarter of a grown negro. * The pri vates each received one grown negro. The total number of negroes due the company for the. ten months' service was 683. Of this number 29 had al ready been given the company when the pay roll was made out. The paper does not state whether or not the remainder of the "legal-ten der" was turned over to the company, nor does it show how each sergeant was to receive his quarter of a grown negro. Another interesting document is the "regimental pay list of State troops, commanded by Lieut. Col. Wade Hampton, April 12, 1782." Lieut. Col. Hampton's pay for ten months was three grown and one small negro. Joseph Rutherford, major, killed, received three grown negroes. Andrew Anoddy, adjutant for three months, was to have received half of a grown negro and half of a small negro. E. Whorthers, adjutant for seven months, was due the same amount. John Harriss, quartermas ter, received a fifth of a grown negro and a fifth of a small negro for two months' pay. John Lofton, quarter master for the remaining eight months received the remaining four-fifths of a grown and of a small negr -. Thomas Allston, postmaster, received one grown negro and one-half of a small one for eight months' service. Toe pay of Col. Charles Middleton for ten months, as shown by these documents, was three grown and one small negro. The fay roll of Col. Wm. Hill's regiment is also among these papers. From an historical standpoint one of the most valuable of these docu ments is the roster of Gen. Sumter's brigade. It contains the name of every soldier iu that command and is arranged by companies and alphabeti cally. This roll is evidently a copy of the original, for the handwriting is more modern in its style. There are some other papers which were presented to the legislature in 1797 by the committee on public claims. Many of these ela i ms are for pensions and for money due for ser vices in the Revolution, lt is note worthy that while these soldiers were engaged "per negro," .-.till they applied for pensions and for war pay in thc coin of the r^alm, dollars and cents. The coroner of Laurens county was paid $8.57 for holding an inquest. : PAPERS elution "W ere 3? aid in . roes. tate, Nov. 29. Post mortems were about as cheap in those days as they are now. I Another appropriation suggested by j the committee was "To the Corpora tion of the City of Charleston for money expended by them for the re lief of the Unhappy sufferers from Saint Domingo in 1793-94, $966.60." The bill states that while there was no law to force the payment of this claim, still the committee "thought it wise to reimburse the city of Charleston. There are many, many papers here j which would be valuable to a biblio j maniac or Curio hunter, and there are j many which are valuable as history, j There is a vast amount of uuwrittcn ' history and love and legend stored away in the musty vaults at the State house. In discussing the revelation of these historical treasures. Prof. Davis and Col. Tompkins both agreed that there was work enough to keep a man busy compiling. historical statistics and information, and that the work was of euough value to the State to warrant the legislature in making an appropriation for that purpose. It I may bc that a bill will be introduced I at the coming session providing for such work to be done by the State historian. Home-Made Playthings. ! Often honie-inade playthings are i treasured by little people more than ! expensive trinkets. Our children are J domestic in their tastes at present, so j I procured some pasieboard boxes ? about 24xlS inches, and 9 inches high, and we made a house and barn. Have ! plenty of old pasteboard boxes to cut up for partitions and furniture. We made kitchen, pantry and ; dining-room in one. box; in the other., ealled the upright, was the sitting room and bedroom. Cut the partitions to fit tight, or they will always bc tumbling down. Cut double doors between sitting room and bedroom, and use any pretty little scraps you may have of silk, lace or velvet for portieres. The pink and green papers in which so many packages come wrapped were out in fancy patterns for carpets, which let the white of thc bottom of the box show through for the pattern. They also make pretty coverings for the tables and beds. The chairs, tables, beds, etc., are cut from pasteboard, more or less fancy, according t<? the skill of the artist. Then we cut a family of paper dolls to inhabit the house, clothing them from some of the bright paper. Another box has been made into a barn with.pasteboard stalls, mangers and stanchions, being divided into compartments for horses aud cattle, with a place between for hay; the hay is represented by very thin little papers. The horses, cows and calves arc made of pasteboard, and at e fed regularly on paper rations; the coyer to the box is set one side for a barn yard, in one corner of which are the tank and windmill, made also of paste board: the pitchforks, shovels, ham mers, etc., are made of stiff paste board. A small shoe box, with pasteboard wheels and tongue, is the wagon, and wrapping cord is utilized for har nesses. A handsome rag doll can be made of cloth, if one is handy about such things, and they are often preferred to a more expensive one. ( An elephant made of gray cloth, with a small red blanket on, is greatly enjoyed by children, especially when playing circus. A pair of lines, 1 inch wide and 3 yards long can be koit of odds and ends, and are very serviceable when the chairs are used for horses, or wheu one drives another. In short, if one has a little ingen uity, a little time and remembers what pleased them when they were children, their children need never lack playthings, even though the pnrse is empty.-Marguerite Lyndilh in the Household. Two Pointed Question? Answered. What is the usc of making a better article than your competitor if you can not get a better price for it? Ans.-As there is no difference in the price the public will bay only the better, so that while our profits may be smaller on a siogle t-ale they will be much greater in the aggregate.

Almanacs have been known the days of the ancient Greeks, j the Middle ages down to our owi j were thc depositories of astro! predictions, pandering to the ere* of the supersitious public. Now are more and more becoming houses of chronological, astronoi economical, historical, political statistical records, all brought the latest date. Primarily, how and principally they were instru? for computing time, designed t< nish tables of the days belongi the several months. The Anglo ons called their tally sticks, or kind of notched instruments, on v they carved the course of the t during the year, to fix the times, o ! new aud full moon and the fee days, almanaght. It was used fo: computation of civil and ecclesias dates. The usual derivation of word almanac, it is true, trace* word to Arabic, respectively Ci origin. To the Arab of Syria a nakh means temperature or at: phere, which reminds of Cow] lines : .'Tn watch the storms and hear the And give all almanacks the lip." . The almanac itself has, of cou undergone many changes in its and honored career. So hoary-bea aud ancient a personage as Fa: Time, says a receut writer on thc ? ject, must necessarily have acqui in the course of his ceaseless jourm a considerable number of curiosi and eccentricities. With these, which the almanac keeps record, people have much acquaintance. T the year has three hundred and si: five tlays, twelve months, fifty weeks, and starts on the first of J uary, is about the extent of most r pie's knowledge of chronology ; calendar. Thc most important church festi of the year is Easter, because by data are fixed all the movable holid of thc year. For thc first three c turies of the Christian era thc churcl of the East and the West obsen Easter at different times. TheEasti church observed Easter on the sa day as thc Jewish Passover, while t West or Roman Church celebra! Easter on the Sunday following tl date. The Celtic Church observ Easter at a different time from eith but at the Council of Whitby, in 6( the English church formally attach itself to the Church of Rome adopti og her time of Easter celebi tion. In 325 A. D. the Council Nicma fixed the date of Easter, J the moon had been full on the nig after thc crucifixion, it was agre that Easter must depend upon tl phases of the moon, and therefore a movable feast; and it was fixed < the first Sunday after thc full mo< of the spring equinox. The Bish< of Alexandria, Egypt, was chargi with the duty of making the necessai astronomical calculations, as th science was most advanced in th: city. Every year, about Epiphan, he issued a circular letter-the "Libi Paschalis," Easter booie, communie ting the result of his coniputatioi and hiring the date of Easter. Il also, iu this sort of almanac, con merited on ecclesiastical and otht questions of the day. In England th date o? Easter is fixed by act of Pari ament and by the rubric of the churcl Easter has a range of thirty-five day ia which it can fall, thc earliest dat is March 22d, and the latest Apri 25th. In 1818 it fell ou March 22d and cannot do so again until 22S5 lu 18Sd Easter fell on the latest pos sible date, April 25th. This had no occurred since 173l>, and will not occu again until 1943, the only time in tie twentieth century, and 2038. A nev attempt is just being made to fix ; narrower limit for easter by confining its occurrence to the week from Apri 4th to 11th. There are some curious facts con nccted with the days of thc week or which centuries arid months begin, No century can begin on a Wednesday. Friday or Saturday. The month ol October commences with the same daj of the week as January, except in i leap year. September and Decembei also start on tho same week-day, and so do February, March and November. The first day of May, June and August never fall on the same week day on which any other month begins. April and July always start on the same day of the week. This year January and October begin ou a Saturday; February, -March and November on a Tuesday, April and July on a Friday, Septem ber and December on a Thursday, June on a Wednesday, May on a Sun day. August on a Monday. Leap year, however, always throws this lit i tlc arrangement out of gear. Ghrist ! mas always falls on the same day of thc week a-; .Ww Year's Hay. and a year always cuds on the sane.' week day as it started. Next year will start on a Sunday, and there will be ti us fifty-three Sundays in thc year, a j thi! g which happened last in 1393 and occurs ?oily fourteen times in a century. Only very rarely is thc number of a year a square, lu 18-19 ?t was the square of 43. The previous occasion was 17G4, the square of 42, aud in l?ijfi wc shall have thc square I of 44. Sweet Pol ato Starch. To the Editor of thc Nacs enid Cou rier : The subscriber has read and reads with a great deal of interest all that appears in your paper about planting wheat. Four fanners, if not more, in this immediate community are going to plant some two acres each. You are doing the State a great benefit by so thoroughly airing the subject. Indeed, you have been rather the pioneer in the State in the way of rejuvenating old and introducing new farm crops and other neglected industiies. The necessity is upon South Caro lina farmers as never was before, of mending their farming ways. They are in front of a veritable sea, there are mountains on either side and a ? host of creditors behind. They must ! cross the sea and must settle honora bly with their creditors. How are they to do it? By curtail ing cotton acreage? Yes, but what shall bc planted on the part cut off? Wheat is all wellcnough, huta money crop is wanted of a size to which the wheat crop will not reach. Now, the writer is going to risk your wrath in naming a crop w ich he has before brought to your notice, and a product to be made from it: sweet potatoes and sweet potato starch. He remembers you commented very favor ably on the matter of his letter, and some correspondence with promoters resulted, which is still going on. With your permission he will now state again some facts in connection with thc crop. It has bceu discover ed recently that the sweet potato is rich in starch, enough so to make it a suitable raw product for the commer cial manufacture of starch. You no doubt remember that our mothers made starch in a primitive way from thc sweet potato during the war. The project is still in embryo com paratively. There arc yet one or two points to be settled by factory promo ters. Only Che immediately concerns the farmer. The others are for the other party, that is the manufacturer, and it is well to add that experiments are now being conducted that arc ex pected to settle conclusively by their determinations these points. Thc one farmers must settle is, can they raise sweet potatoes in such quantity and at such a price as will supply a factory? It is this question the writer wants you to push home to the farmers of the State. Thc price which is proposed now to be paid by the factory is 20 cents per bushel. Now can the farmers do it? It would be well for you to get some practical farmer, one who works and fertilizes well to make a calculation of the cost of an acre of cotton and one of sweet potatoes. Let us just now only take for exam ple an acre of ground which will make a bale of cotton. This bale of cotton let us put at $25, and just now that will include val. e of lint and seed. Now how many bushels of potatoes can bc made on an acre of similar ground; 200 bushels-$40; 300 bush els-$60; 400 bushels-$80? Now on an acre of ground so fertil ized and cultivated as to make a bale of cotton -IOU bushels of Southern Queen sweet potatoes can be raised. Ol' course, all land will not make that many, neither will all land make a bale of cotton or yellow wrapper to bacco, or 30 bushels of wheat, but it will do for calculating comparative cost and proceeds. lu this calcula tion one must take into consideration the danger to any crop from the ele ments, except potatoes. Hail can't hurt them, wind can't, storms of rain cannot, earthquake will only loosen the soil so they can grow bigger. Now, it has been determined that thc most prolific varieties aro thc best adapted to thc purpose, a wonderful providence, indeed. It will take from 500 to 2,000 bushels per day to run a factory. A small factory to uso 500 bushels per day will cost about $S,0U0: to use 2.000, about $25,000. To ran four months, daily capacity 500 bush els, will take 300 acres, making 200 bushels per acre; 150 acres makiDg 400 bushels. A first-class ginnery will cost $2,500. Yet many individual men buy and operate such and count themselves lucky to make it pay for itself in two or three years. Why could not some of the large farmers own and operate some of these small factories? If not strong enough individually then several together. There are capitalists now ready to meet thc farmer half way. Indeed, it may be possible to get the factory people to ?onie, without any local capital invested, if the farmer will j only guarantee the crop, and that is j what this writer wants you to bring out; cet farmers to figure on cost ol' i production und say whether they can : ? i . ? it, and then they can bc introduced to I he factory people, j This question of supply is thc big ges! one just now. As Lt i s an en tirely new vcnLure i:i <'u' South fae j tory people waul it. fully decided b - ! fore going to work. Cotton mill men j who use a large quantity of starch , might consider the subject with pro ! fit. There are now three different ; sets of experts working on thc sub ject, in the most intelligent manner. Thc writer seet this summer a lot of potato vines to one end of the [Inited States for planting, and this fall a couple of bushels of potatoes to thc other end. both fur experimental purposes. For as he said above, de terminations will be made this winter which will be conclusive in their character, after which the potato grower and the factory people will meet. If possible a meeting must bc had before another crop year opens, and the community that first wakes up to its possibilities will be the ? favored one. Some talk about raising j sugar beets. A sugar beet factory ! costs all the way from 3500,000 to $2, 500,000. Why not talk about some thing reasonable? And it takes from 20,000 to 100,000 ames. Agamemnon Pomme dc Terre. South Carolina, Nov. 27. Left to Her Own Resources. i A Boston mamma was instructing 1 her little daughter how to behave when she went to luncheon at the Bishop's ! house. "'Now. dear, when the butler j hands you something the tirst time take j ! a little on your jiblie. When he conics the second time you may help your , self to a littie more ; but the third [ time you must say : 'No, thank you,' i just as you do at home." So the little Boston child went to the Bishop's house to lunch, and came heme much delighted with her visit. "Did you do just as I told you, darl ing?'' inquired mamma anxiously. ''Yes, I did," was thc reply. "I took something very nice when it was handed to me the first time, and then, when thc butler came again I took a little more ; but thc third time 1 said: 'No, thank you.' But when he came the fourth time you hadn't told me what to do, so I just thought of papa and said: 'No, damn you?'"-Bos ton Uv n i ld. - It is a man's character, and not his political or religious opinion, that gives him a standing among good men in all communities.
