HOW THE ST? The Ordinances Pas: Big Ma liklimoi As it may interest some of your readers to learn some more cf the facts concerning the secession of the South ern States I will, with your permission, give a few. The first State to secede was South Carolina, which she did December 20, I860. .The Legislature called a convention and the people elected the delegates, and if there was any Union sentiment in the State it was too weak to elect even one dele gate, for when the Convention met its one hundred and sixty-nine members were unanimous for secession. The next State was Mississippi; there also a convention of the people was elected under a call of the Legislature, and on January 9, 1S61, it passed an ordi nance of secession by a vote of 84 to 15, nearly six to one. But it must not be supposed that the t small num ber who voted against secession were Unionists. They declared themselves to be "co-operationists," which meant secession in another form, that is, they, were in favor of the fifteen Southern States holding a convention, and if a majority of them, which would have been eight, declared in favor of secession, then they were in favor of their own State seceding, and as more than eight States did eventually secede, of course co-operation would have resulted in secession. Indeed, some of the co-operationists were in favor of secession if only the cotton States agreed to it in joint convention. After Mississippi the people of Florida passed an ordinance of secession in convention on January 10,1861, by a vote of 62 to 7. about nine to one. And then, came Alabama, whose con vention on January ll, 1861, voted to secede by 62 to 39, the thirty-nine not being Unionists, hut co-operation ists, as the fifteen in the Mississippi Convention had been. In other words, the difference in opinion in the Ala bama convention was one between im mediate secession and secession a lit tle later, and after the convention had passed the ordinance many of the co operation delegates came forward and pledged themselves and their consti tuents to its support. GEORGIA NEXT. Georgia was the next State to secede, whichshe did on January 19, 1861, by a vote in her convention of 208 to S9. Alexander H. Stephens, afterwards Vice Fresident of the Confederacy, and hjs brother, Judge Linton Ste phens, being, the leaders of the 89. Immediately after the ordinance was passed Judge Linton Stephens intro duced a resolution ia which it was de clared that those whc had opposed it did not deny the right of a State to secede, nor that the Southern States did not have cause for secession, but that they only thought1 that it ought not to be exercised until every effort to .preserve peace had been exhausted. (It must be remembered that at that very time the Senators and Represen tatives in Congress of all the border Southern States, including Yirginia, were making every effort to induce the North to guarantee the rights of the South in the Union by constitu tional amendments, but which the North utterly failed to do, though had it been done peace would most assur edly have been preserved.) And then Judge Linton Stephen's resolution in the Georgia convention went on and declared that as evidence of the fact that those who had voted against se * cession did not deny the right of it, nor that the Southern States had cause for it, that all of those members of the convention who had voted against it as well as those who had voted for it should sign the ordinance which had been passed. That resolu tion was adopted and under it all of the three hundred and one delegates who had favored the convention of Georgia, (there had been four absent when secession was voted on) signed the ordinance except six, and even those six signed and placed on record a paper in which they declared that they would support the State in her action. Georgia, therefore, went into secession with practically the solid support of her people as represented in convention. Louisiana followed Georgia and seceded on January 26, 1861. The fight in that State was altogether between immediate seces sion and co-operation, such as it had been in Alabama, the Unionists, if there were any of them in the State, being too weak to make a show. Those who favored immediate secession won over the co-operationists in the elec tion and the convention passed an ordinance of secession by 1 lo to IT. The six States which have been named met together in Congress at Mont gomery, Ala., on the 4th of February, 1861, and formed thc Confederate States of America, and in thc mean time the Texas convention held on tho 1st of February passed an ordinance of secession by a vote of 160 against 7. 'Butas the Texas ordinance was to be submitted to a direct vote of the people on February 2'?, that State did not joiu thc Confederacy until after LTES SECEDED. sed in Most Cases by bjorities. ' id Times. that date. When the vote of the peo ple was taken in Texas it stood for secession, 34,794 against 11,235, or rather more than three to one in its favor. Those who opposed secession in Texas were led by its then Governor, Samuel Houston, and claimed not to be opposed to secession itself, but to be in favor of Texas becoming an in dependent republic as it had been be fore annexation to the United States. In a word, that Texas was to have nothing to do with either the Confed erate States or the United States. The question there then was between the Confederate States party and the advocates of an independent republic for Texas, and the Confederate States party, as we have seen, won by a very large majority, and Texas joined the Confederacy. VIRGINIA'S ACTION. The next State to secede was Vir ginia. After all efforts for peace had failed, after the action of the "Peace Conference," which she had declared herself willing to accept, had been completely ignored by the North, the Virginia convention passed April 17, 1861, an ordinance of secession by a vote of 88 to 55, there being one mem ber who asked to be excused from voting, and eight absent; all of these latter afterwards asking to have their votes recorded in its favor. Of the 55 members of the convention who voted against secession the majority of them (32) were from what is now West Vir ginia. And among the twenty-three who were from what now constitutes Virginia were no less personages than Gen. Jubal A. Early and William C. Wickham, both of whom were after wards among the stanchest Confede rates. Again, when the time came for the signing of the Virginia ordi nance, of the. original 152 delegates to the convention 129 signed it and 23 refused, including the one who had asked to be excused from voting. Of the twenty-three who failed to sign, only one was from the State of Vir ginia, as now constituted, the remain der being from what is now West Vir ginia. But though a majority of the West Virginia members did not vote for secession, a majority of them did sign the ordinance after it was passed. For wliat is now West Virginia had 47 delegates in that convention,, of whom 25 signed it. Besides these, when some of these delegates from West Virginia, who had voted against the ordinance, left the convention, and went where they began to take steps looking to a division of the State, they were expelled by the convention, and their places filled by others, who signed the ordinance. So that in all there are really* 143 names attached to it. On 3Iay 23, 1861, the Virginia ordi nance of secession was submitted to a direct vote of the people of the State including, of course, what is now West Virginia-and ratified by a ma jority of 97,000, the present State of Virginia being well-nigh unanimous for it, and there was even a strong vote in its favor in West Virginia, many of the counties there going for it. Arkansas followed Virginia, se ceding in May 6, 1861. That State had elected a convention long before, which was pretty evenly divided be tween immediate secession and co operation, and as a result the conven tion had decided to submit the ques tion as between the two to the popular vote on August 1, 1861, and had then adjourned, subject to the call of its president, in case developments justi fied it. After the passage of the Vir ginia ordinance the Arkansas conven tion again met, and then, as has been stated, passed an ordinance of seces sion May 6, 1861, the vote being 69 in its favor to 1 against. North Carolina was the next State to secede and join the Confederacy, which it did on May 20, 1861. The people there the preceding February, when there was still a prospect for peace, had by a very close vote voted down the call for a convention, the majority against it in the State being only 426. But after all prospect for peace h id vanished there was a tre mendous change in sentiment. A convention was called by the Legisla ture in extra session, and of the hun dred and twenty members which the people elected to it one hundred and eleven of them met at Haleigh and voted unanimously for secession. Tennessee was thc last State to se cede. She, like Virginia and North Carolina, hesitated as long as there was any prospect for peace, and her people voted down a call for a conven tion by a good majority which the Legislature had .submitted to them. But when it became evident that thc people of the North would give no proper constitutional guarantees for the rights of thc South in thc I "nina the Legislature of Tennessee- thc same Legislature which had before re fused to call a convention without lirsi submitting thc question of its call to thc people-met in extra session and voted to submit directly to the people the question as to whether Tennessee should secede atan election to be held June S, 1861, and though Tennessee had in it a far larger Union sentiment than was to be found in any other State which seceded, its people voted, when the question was submitted to them, for secession. 104,913, against 47,238-which was considerably more than two to one. And of the 47,238 votes against secession 33,000 of them were in East Tennessee. NEEDED THREE STATES. To sum up, no people were ever more united in favor of any one thing than were the people of the eleven States which seceded in favor of the Confederate cause after they had em barked in it. For there was then practically no Union sentiment amongst them, except in East Tennes see and a few counties in Northwest Virginia, now a part of West Virginia. Everywhere else among them, what ever sentiment of that kind there may have been, rapidly disappeared. The four bordet Southern States of Dela ware, Maryland, Kentucky and Mis souri did not secede, and there can be no doubt that at first a majority of the people of each of them were op posed to it. And it may have been that the Union sentiment continued to prevail in them even after the war commencsd, though there /is great reason to believe that such was not the case in the States of Maryland, Kentucky and Missouri, as there were certainly many changes in them from the Unionist to the Secessionist ranks, as in the cases of Gen. Sterling Price, of Missouri; Gen. Buckner, of Ken tucky, and many others. But be all this as it may, those three States had no chance to secede after the war be gan, no matter if a majority of their people had desired it. For being in the Union they were practically in possession of the Federals when the war started, and were held on to by them with a firm grip. Had they have seceded, and had their people been as thoroughly united in favor of the Con federacy as those of the eleven States which did secede, there is nothing more certain, unless it be something which has already taken place, than that there would have been to-day two Anglo-Saxon republics on this conti nent where there is now only one. Because, notwithstanding its vast superiority in numbers-several hun dred thousand of which superiority was obtained by enlistment among the Union men and negro population of those border Southern States; and notwithstanding it had that which the Confederacy did not have-the aid of fleets to co-operate with its land forces, and which co-operation most certainly saved Grant's army from uttter and complete destruction the first day at Shiloh, and saved McClellan's army from final capture after its defeat in the battles around Kichmond, besides which its fleets enabled it to blockade the ports of the Confederacy, and thus prevented them from shipping their cotton to Europe and obtaining the supplies which they needed-in spite of all those and other advantages, the North had a close, a very close, call in the struggle, so close that had the full weight of the three populous and wealthy Southern States of Mary land, Kentucky and Missouri, with all their other great resources, been thrown into the scale on the side of the Confederacy, it would have been a sure winner. W. Richmond, Va., March 15, 1899. Bees As Weather Prophets. As forecasters of the weather, bees never make a mistake. They know what the weather for the day will be without consulting the direction of the wind or marking of the barometer. If there is going to be a rain they will not go to work, no matter how fair the sun may shine in the morning, and if the weather is going to be clear, the thickest clouds in the morning do not keep them at home. Go to the bees in the morning, and if they are going out and coming in as usual, it is safe to make hay or to go to the picnic. If they are loafing about home as if they intended to take a day off, depend upon it they know there is going to be rain soon. Sometimes they will be seen rush ing home, as if in a hurry, but none will be noticed flying away to the fields. When this happens a hard storm is threatening, one of those sud den electrical storms that form and break almost without warning.-Farm er's Voice. - m . 11 Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. This remedy is intended especially for coughs, colds, croup, whooping cough and influenza. It has become famous for its cures of these diseases, over a large part of the civilized world. The most flattering testimonials have been received, giving accounts of its good works: of the aggravating and persistent coughs it has cured; of severe colds that have yielded prompt ly to its soothing effects, and of thc dangerous attacks of croup it has cured, often saving the life of the child. The extensive usu of it for whooping cough has shown that it robs that disease ol' all dangerous cou seqiienci s. Solu by Hill-' br I>rug Co. INFORMATION FOR VETERANS. General Order Relating to tlie Annual Re-Union. TUE INTELLIGENCER is.in receipt of the following, dated ''Headquarters South Carolina Division. United Con federate Veterans,'" and designated as "General Order, No. 40." It is sign ed by C. Irvine "Walker, major gen eral, and is attested by James G. Holmes, adjutant general, chief of staff : I. The ninth annual re-union of the United Confederate veterans will be held in the "Cradle of Secession," . Charleston., S. C., commencing on the morning of May 10, 1899. The headquarters of the division during the re-union will be at Market Hall, Meeting and Market streets. Comrades will please register there and during their stay make it their gene ral assembling. II. While the comrades of the di vision will be the guests of Charleston, (and indeed cf the people of the State of South Carolina) none the less they must play the part of hosts, and be prepared to share their blankets, and the contents of their haversacks and canteens with the visiting comrades from other divisions, and with all Confederate veterans who may join us in commemorating the memories so dear to us. III. In order to take part in the proceedings and have the right to vote, camps must pay their dues of 10 cts. per capita to the U. C. V. organization, either direct to Major General George Moorman, A. G. and C. of S., U. C. V., New Orleans, La., or through the di vision adjutant general. Dues of 5 cents per capita to the division, to be paid to the division adjutant general, (with arrears for those camps that have not done their part heretofore in sus taining the division) ; all must be paid before April 1, 1899. IA'. Camp9 and comrades are urged to bring with them any Confederate battle flags they may have, as well as their camp colors for the parade, es pecially as they will be wanted in the ceremonial of Memorial Day, May 10, (the 'anniversary of Stonewall Jack son's death) the day observed in this city. The Ladies' Memorial associa tion having invited the U. C. V. organ ization to join them, and General Gor don having accepted the invitation of the association to preside. V. Miss Mary Carwile, of Edge field, daughter of Brigadier-General T. W? Carwile, commanding Second Brigade, is announced as Division Sponsor for the current year, and Miss Lula Cassels Lake, daughter of Colonel George B. Lake, as Maid of Honor. The honorary maids of honor (for the Charleston Re-union) will be Miss Minnie Agatha Wright, of Gaines ville, Texas, and Miss Lulie Wagener, grandniece of the late General John A. Wagener, of Charleston. The com rades of the division are to be con gratulated upon having as sponsor and maids of houor four young ladies who will worthily represent names that appear on the honor roll of the Con federacy, and they will vie with each other in honoring them. To Miss Wright the thanks of the comrades are due for her modest but effective efforts to influence the vote of the Texas delegation at Atlanta in favor of Charleston and her acceptance of the sponsor's invitation to serve as one of the honorary maid3 of honor, is another pleasing evidence of her gracious consideration for the Confed erate veterans of our State. VI. The camps of the division are earnestly called upon to put them selves in position to exert the full in fluence this division is entitled to, as the representative of the first State to assert itself for state rights in the six- j ties, and all Confederate veterans in j the State, not now members, are fra ternally invited and urged to join one of the camps of the division, or to form new camps. VII. The commanding general of the division suggests, that as many of the camps as can do so, uniform their members in a simple and inexpensive suit, or sack only, of Confederate gray, with a dark hat. This seems to be the sentiment and custom of many camps in other divisions of the (J. C. V. Each re-union 9hows more uniformed camps, and the South Carolina division should keep pace with the growing sentiment. To Cure Earache. Take equal parts of glj-cerinc aud laudanum, slightly warmed, and pour into the ear from a teaspoon ; insert the cotton afterwards. This is better than wetting thc cotton with it, be cause it will reach the intermost parts of the ear and soften thc wax, which is frequently thc cause of thc pain. If the car itches inside do not insert any hard substance, but chew uutil soft one end of au ordinary wooden toothpick and usc that instead. Again, if a bug or gnat or any foreign sub stance gets in the ear, immediately fill thc car with melted hird (not too wann.) This will instantly kill any insect, which will, by turning the head io (?ne side, pass out with the lard.

It sounds like a garment that should go into a trunk with white duck shirts and sailor hats and a chiffon parasol. But it isn't. In reality* it is a new idea for keeping.womankind warm, not cool. It is designed for wear at just this time of year and the shop that is not showing them at present had bet ter look to its laurels of popularity. Now that the spring changes of clothing are soon toc?me, one of these vests will mean a deal of comfort. If yu ur winter fur is laid away in cam phor just the night before thc vernal thermometer takes a drop of 15 de grees, put on a paper vest under your spring jacket. You will not feel the cold and you won't catch or e. These waistcoats are shown in the shops, cut to every figure. They are cut exactly like the cloth garment worn under a jacket and are formed of paper or paper fiber. For 50 cents you can have one of the fiber, which is not covered in any way. For 75 cents comes thc same article with a neat, close-fitting cover of cambric or silicia. One dollar to one dollar and fifty cents will buy a vest, cloth-covered, and not be distin guished-except by thc warmth-from the vest of a man's outfit. They are really delightfully warm. Saleswomen in some of the smart shops say that these paper sheathes are re placing those of chamois. "Women who are devotees of the tailor suit have depended on the chamois jacket for protection for years. They are glad to discover something which is warmer and-important point-cheap er. It is not a new discovery-that of the heat locked up in paper. The country housewife has been making paper quilts for generations. The country boy has long been cutting it to fit into the soles of his shoes, for preventing frost-bite. Every other traveler on an ocean steamer brings along a sheet of it to plaster across his back. The paper vest is only a very clever adoption of a very old bit of everyday knowledge,-Philadclphia Press. To Iron Table Linen. Linen by good rights should be dried only enough to make it possible to iron it well.? It is well nigh impossi ble to iron out wrinkles that have qnce dried in ; even with good sprinkling this is a difficult task to do, as anyone may know who has tried it. After the linen is washed and rinsed until quite clean, then let it hang in the sun if possible until just dry enough to iron nicely. Have the iron hot ; a luke-warm iron will not do. Fold the cloth lengthwise, if at all, for the first pressing ; 'press hard and iron smooth ly, until the linen is quite dry; unless it is perfectly dry it will not have that luster and brilliance that all well-iron ed linen has. Fold the cloth length wise until it is narrow enough to suit thc taste, and then crosswise folding is allowable. The only points to be observed are these : Iron the linen before it is dry and iron it until it is perfectly dry. This will assure perfect work. Avoid starch in linen as you would upon silk or such fabrics. It is en tirely out of place. Table linen should be ironed in the same way tablecloths, and all fancy foldings avoided. Sometimes in hotels fancy foldings are used, but for the home table let the napkins be folded in plain squares and be ironed per fectly that their gloss will be an at tractive feature at the table dec orations. Strike Quickly. M On the instant when a lion shows his tem per " said a famous .lion tamer "cut him quickly over the face. Don't wait until he springs at you." This is equally good advice for treat. ?ip ing the lion of disease. Many an attack of dangerous illness would bc headed off if at thc first premonitory Symptoms the victim would strike quickly.
