WAR SI Sergeant J"asper, the 1 Miss Kl izabel li Vate buring the attack on Kort Moul* IT?O, June 'JS, 177?;. tho flag staff of thc lort was shot away a rid fell with ihe flag outside of thc f'urt. I'po ri this Sergeant .Jasper of the granadiors nf tlie Second regiment, leaped over the breastworks, snatched tho stare of liberty up, wrapped them around his ann, arid leaped upon the breastworks, Fastened thee: to his sponge staff, and placed them again in their daring sta tion, waving his hat at thc same time ind shouting, "dod save liberty and my country forever!" lie then re ared to his gun, where he fought ihroughout thc engagement. On July 4, President Rutledge risited the garrison at Port Moultrie, rhen he returned his thanks to them for their gallant conduct in the d? fende of that fortress. On this occa sion he brought into view the heroic Behavior of Jasper in replacing the colors, which had been shot away during thc action; and taking his own jword frjm his side, he presented it to Sergeant Jasper as a reward for his bravery. He also offered him a com mission, hui this Jasper absolutely refused. l'I am greatly obliged to you, governor," said he, "but I had Ttl her not have a commission. Asl im, I pass very well with such com pany as a poor sergeaut has any right to keep; if I were to get a commission Il should be forced to keep higher company, and then, as I don't know .how to read, I should only bo throw ing myself in a way to bc laughed it! ' Three days after tho battle Col. .Bernard Elliott's wife presented two elegant flags to thc second regiment, which had so bravely defended Port .Moultrie. They were presented to Inc brave Jasper. Mrs. Elliott, in presenting the colors said: "I make not tho least doubt under heaven's protection you will stand by these colors as long as they wave in the air !>f liberty." Sergeant Jasper smiled when he took them, and vowed be f*Would never give them up but with his life." His promise was literally fulfilled soon after at Savannah. Jasper wa? as intelligent as he was brave. He possessed hot only the dashing gallantry which he exhibited at Foit Moultrie, but cool, calm cour age. Moultrie had great confidence in bim, aud gave him occasionally a rov ing commission, allowing him to take ?nt with him six mon of his own selec tion at a time. He often went out in ibis way, and sometimes returned r;hh prisoners before his absence was observed. At one time he went into ?he British lines at Savannah and de livered himself up as a deserter, com plaining of the ill usage he received Ia the American camp. Tho British who had heard of his heroic conduot ' and character, strange to say readily accepted his story, and gladly receiv ?u 3d him.- Jasper seems to have enjoy* ^ ad their hospitality, for ho remained with them eight days, and then, hav ing thoroughly informed himself of ?heii situation, strength and inten tons, quietly returned to his friends 7ith the information he had obtain ed. "Old Parson Weems," in his "Life of Marion," tells us of a brother of JaBpcr, who joined the British and - - ield the rank of sergeant in the gar con at Ebenezer. He visited him, and his brother was alarmed, as he Jeared he might be seized and hung jp as a spy. Jasper tells his brother ?Jhat he is no longer an American sol dier. "Well, thank God for that, William," replies his brother, "and 3ow only say the word, my boy, and iere is a commission for you, with regimentals and gold to boot, to fight foi- his 'majesty." Jasper shook his .icad and observed that though there was but little encouragement to fight for his country, yet he couldn't find it in his heart to fight against her. Be stayed with his brother several days, hearing and seeing all he oould, and then, by a round about way, re in* turned to the eamp, and told Gen. Uncoln ali about it. Weems- also says that Jasper made LS ?ecoo i?N trip to Ebenezer, this time taking with him his particular friend, Sergeant Newton. They spent sev eral* days at the British fort. While > they were there 10 or 12 American y prisoners .were brought there as de? -. xierter* ftfom, Savannah, whither they ' -4*ercJLoAb? sont immediately. Jasper -mfcr?o see ?hem. There they sat . ?ll handcuffed. A pitiful sight was a ywrug- woman, wife of one of the pris v ?ncrs, with her child, a little boy Nabout five years old. She sat on the ground in front of her husband, hold ing her baby in her lap. Jasper told Hewtou/he felt he must resoue these poor/prisoners or die with thom. New ten said he felt so too. The prisoners were sent to Savan nah with a guard of a sergeant and cor WRIES. tero ol .Kort .Moultrie. s in Columbia State. ' poral and eight moo. Soon Jasper j and Newton loft oo an errand to the j upper country. They followed close after the prisoners, watching to strike a blow, but this scented impossible, as there were only two of them to ten of thc others. About two miles from Savannah they came to a H pring call ed Sp:-., hire they stopped for water. The corporal with his guard of four men, conducted the prisoners to thc spring, while the sergeant, with his other four, having grounded their arms near the road, brought up the rear. The prisoners were permitted to rest. Two of the corporal's men were ordered to keep guard, and the J other two to givu the prisoners water, j These last approached the spring, where .Jasper and Newton lay con cealed, and resting their muskets against a pine tree, dipped up water, and having drank themselves, turned away to give the prisoners water. "Now, Newton, is our time!" said Jasper. Then, bursting like two lions from their concealment, they snatch ed up the two muskets that were rest cd against thc pine, aud instantly shot down the two soldiers. The sergeant and corporal about this time recovered from their momeutary panic, and seiz ed the muskets. Before they could use them the Americans knocked them down with tho guns. Snatching up tho guns, they flew between the enemy aud ordered them to surrender, which they instantly did. Having called the prisoners to them they quickly, with tho point of their bayonets, broko o?r their handcuffs and gave each of them a musket. Then in stantly, for fear of being overtaken, they snatched the arms and regimen tals of the slain, and recrossed the Savauuah and rejoined our army at Purysburg. Three years after the battle of Fort Moultrie tho flags that Mrs. Elliott presented to tho Second regiment were planted on the British lines at Sa vannah. Lieutenant Hume in the act of planting one was also shot down. The bravo Jasper, on seeing Humo fall, took up the flag and plauted it. in doing so he received a mortal wound, but, the retreat being ordered, he was still able to bear the colors off with him. The ball that struck Jasper opened a blood vessel in thc lungs, and he bled to death. -^ * m A Story of Fitz Lee. We find the following in an ex change: "The late Gen. John B. Gordon and Gov. Candler, of Georgia, wera together in a hotel in Atlanta once when Gov. Candler asked the general if he had over known of a witty darky 'Yes,' said the general, 'one.' When Gen. Robort E. Lee waa fighting Grant in the "last days" an old dar key boseiged headquarters with re quests to sec "the gin'ral." He was turned away a dozen times. But one day he succeeded in reaching the guard immediately in front of Gen. Lee's tent, and almost got into the tent it , self beforo he was stopped. The alter I cation which followed was overheard by Gen. Lee, who called out: "Lot that man come in!'' Then into the tent came the fellow, a ra vhoned, shambling, gray-headed, gnarled old darkey, who scraped the ground with his foot and kept turning his bat around nervously in his hand. 41 ? "Well, where do you belong?" demanded Gen. Lee. " 1 **I b'longs to y'r company, gin' ral," returned tho darky. " * "No you don't," declared the general, sharply. "Everybody in my company has been shot. How is it that you haven't been?" " 'The darkey soratohed his head. Then from his twisted mouth came a confidential whisper. "Well, you soe, gin'ral, it's this a-way. I ain't boen shot, 'cazo when dey's a fight goin' on I always stays with the gin' rals." ' " That does not "sound like" Gen. Robert E. Lee. We doubt if Gen. Gordon has been correctly quoted. If he has been, he has gotten old Gen. Lee mixed up with Fitz Lee. The story as it has been always told in Virginia is as follows. When Fits Lee was making his canvass for gov ernor, and when upon a platform at a publio meeting in one of the counties near Lynchburg, he was told that an i old eolored man wished to come up and shake hands with him. He said: "All right; let him como," and the old darkey was soon afterwards brought forward and introdueed to him. Old Uncle Ben, for that was his name, said to Fitz Lee that he had been in the Confederate army from first to last, with his (Ben's) young master. The general asked him to what command his master belonged. Uncle U ti replied: '\J;?ugstreev? " Thc general then suggested to lien that hq had probably seen some hard fighting. 1'nele Hen sai'1, yes, he had been in mai.y battles. 'And which do you think was thc hottest one?" he was asked hy Fitz bee. Why," re sponded lucie Hen, "Gettysburg was by long odds the wust I ever seen," ;;' 1 he added, "I tell you the truth, gciierai; at Gettysburg I runned like a dog." "W here did you run to?" inquired Fitz Lee. "I ran to the safest place I could find," said the old fellow. ' And where was that? ' said his good-humored questioner. "1 runned to where the gio'ralB were," promptly responded thc old man. This ready rcspOU.se - this uninten ded joke on the ?ener?is - brought forth a peal ol' laughter from Fitz Lee and the crowd of people around him. The ?tory was often repeated as one of the incidents of that campaign. Gen. Fitz Lee him.?elf bas delighted lo tell it and to give Uncle Hen credit for his sagacity in seeking a place of refuge on the {?eh: of battle. - Rich mond Times-Dispatch. -?? (iafiuey'd Tin Deposit. Of the recent discover}' of tin near Gaffney an expert mineralogist who was there recentlyis reported as saying: "It is thc biggest thing that has hap pened in the South since the civil war. lt is more important than thc oil fields of Texas." Thc ore is being mined on the land of a farmer one mile from Gaffaey. Ho recently sent a carload of 20 tons to New York and received a large sum for it. The ore was shipped to Corowall, England, to be smelted. Thc ore at Gaffney is said to bc the richest in the world. It is cassiterite, 70 per cent pure. A syndicate is takiog options on all land between Gaffney and King's Mountain. There has been no dis covery of tin in the United States ex cept in the Black Hills, S. I)., and very little is found there. The owner of the Gaffney unties has refused $100,000 for a fractional interest. The ore that is obtained from thc miue at Gaffney is the only oro of tin that is oi \uy importance-vise: dioxide or staunic oxide, which is called tin stone, or cassiterite, and in its pure state consists of tin 78 and oxygen 22. Its specific gravity ia a notable feature - 0 il; aud it strikes Gre with steel. One man who has seeu the mine de scribes the ore as a dark, grayish sub stance, not unlike metallic iron ore in appearance. Thc two principal rea sons why ibero arc not tin smelters in the United States are-first there is very little of tho cassiterite ore found; none at all, except in Dakota: seoond, the process of smelting is a difficult and delicate ono, requiring specially constructed and expensive machinery. The government at Wfishington haB taken cognizance of tais find, and some days ago sent an expert to Gaff ney to examine it. His report has already been filed. A great many other expert minors have visited tho place, and the owner, it is said, is daily besieged with offers from pro spective purchasers; while the neigh boring farmers are kept in a state of keen interest by propositions from persons who wish to enter into various oontraots with them, offering to take options and regular mining leases. It is putting it mildly to say that the Gaffney people are excited over the situation.-Yorkville Inquirer. Cheap FxcurYion Rates.

Fortuite ls Won lud Lost "?Sell! N?>, you wouldn't any more than I did," Haid the stranger at thc liuford. "] was thousands ahead and I got delirious, or may be I was just a plain fool. I didn't know very much about speculation. I had play ed poker, and had the same experience that every man who is not a profes sional. I had won as much aH several hundred dollars in a night, and the next day 1 had gone out and spent my winnings recklessly and foolishly. A few nights later I lost as much or a go: 1 deal more than I had won. In other words, I threw away what I won and put my nose to the grindstone to pay what I lost, and this did not take into account the tax on nerves and health. "Hut I bad never speculated until last fall. Everybody was talking cot ton and as I happened to ha''c a good deal of extra money at the time I bought about $700 worth of contracts. And cotton went up. I was interested over the first winning. I soon became absorbed. I paid no attention to my family. I thought only about cotton. I got $5,000 ahead. I held on. My profits rose to $8,000, and I began to make plans for the future. I used to fii:ure with al pencil what I oould buy. Soon I was $10,000 ahead. I waa in an intensely em otional, excitable state and could hardly s!?.cp. The market! That was all I thought about. "My profits went up to $15,000. I kept all my winnings in-took noth ing out-kept pyramiding. Some of my cooler friends came to me and begged me to close out my contracts, but I was wild. "I got $18,000 ahead. That waB more money than I ever expected to have. It never ocourred to me that I could lose. As I look back upon it now I know I was iosane. I was so certain that I was coming out winner that I made positive plans as to what I should buy and how I should invest the money. My profits keot climbing. Past $20,000 they wont, and I began to lose flesh and go unshaven. "The moro I won the greedier I be came. When I began I would have sworn that when I got $5,000 ahead I would stop, but at the $25,000 profit mark I was a furious bull, screaming that cotton must go to 20 cents. And one day I was $29,000 ahead of the game. Mind you, that was my money. All I had to do was to call ou my bro ker for a settlement. And that was nil the noney I really needed. I get a good ? ilary and have an ecGuOmiuai, sensible T^mily. That $20,000 meant a collegiate eduoation for my boys and girls, comfort for my wife, and com parative luxury for all of us. I knew that. 1 now look back with utter amazement upon my feelings at that time. My family knew what I was doing, and they begged me to close out and be oontent with my small fortune. To all such advice I turned a deaf ear. I was a sort of maniac. It seemed suoh an easy way to make money. The bulls must continue to win, I thought. I was to be rich rich! My pulse was too quiok and there was fever in my head, but I was eostatio. "Then the slump came. You re member it-remember how it came to ruin the joys of Christmas. The market broke and soon I was stagger ing around like an imbecilo. I was in a new game and I didn't know what to do. I didn't know how to proteot my self; I had no adequate means to pro teot myself as to margins. I just stood and gaped in terror at the mar ket and became completely demoral ized. I lost mj nerve, and when the market had reached a point where I was only $300 to the good I crawled io like a whipped our to my broker and closed forever with the cotton market. "And I don't get over that experi ence. I try to think that I came out $300 to tte good and I was fortunate at that, but it's no use. Day and night I am thinking of that lost woalth. I don't get as muoh pleasure out of simple things as I used to do. That gambling experience will hurt mo till I die. It is a terrible thing to play with unseen money, my friends." -Charlotte Observer. An Easter Hst. Daniel J. Sully, on the day of his admission to the Chicago board of trado, lunched at the Chicago club. He wore a new derby hst, for he had been pretty severely mauled by the brokers, and his old hat had been al toge thor ruined. "You are not wearing the same hat you had on this morning, sir/' a re porter said to Mr. Sully, with a smile. "No," the broker admitted, and he went on: "Now I'll tell you an appropriate and timely story-a story about a hat and about Easter.

The Hearst boomers are working hard in thc Hay State, but their nomination papers filed here today from the Bos ton district have failed to fill out as they hoped. Hearst boobers have started to work this week in the Southern States, and the results of their efforts will be known withiu thc next ten days. William J. Bryan is coming out boldly for thc Hearst boom at an early date, both editorially in his weekly Commoner und in his speech es. His announcement is likely to give the Hearst boom an impetus* that will make trouble for the conserva tives at the time tho conven tion meets. Thc argument that in telling most among the labor element is that Hearst is the only candidate who is fighting thc trusts fearlessly, and who will use all the powers to dis rupt them if he were elected. - Tho Georgia republicans had stormy times io their State conven tion held in Atlanta on Wednesday, and it was necessary to call in the polioe and have members ejected from the hall.

'iHotWon 'i Die Of consumption" is a remark often made of a fleshy man. The remark expresses the popular recognition of the fact that the sign of consumption ia emaciation, loss of flesh. On the other hand, a gain in flesh is a sure sign that wast- / ing diseases are be-" lng cured. Emaciated peo ple with obstinate coughs, bleeding lungs, night-sweats and weakness, have been perfectly cured by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. The several steps of the cure were re corded in ounces ?rui pou?u? Ox in creasing weight. When there is gain in flesh the wasting disease is being surely cured. Mr.Wilt H.Whitmire, rf Arkton.
