more determined stand has, ever been
taken by any command than that made
by the 7th battalion on thc morning,
of thc H?th ol* May, 1 r>Ul. Its loss
was probably moro than any regiment

to the trenches, the brigade soon suc
ceeded in driving the enemy from their
second Hue of works and the field was
won. They left their artillery and
thc field covered with their dead and
wounded. We pressed them to tho
river aud in a few days they crosssd
thc .James and joined (?rant near
Rich mond.
Now, Mr. Kditor, in conclusion,
though I dislike to indulge in person
alities, I wish to tell of a few brave
deeds committed by brave men while
engaged in this bloody struggle. Just
before thc battalion reached the first
linea of the enemy's works, Sergt. H.
W, Phillips, of Company 15, received
a ball in his shoulder that whirled
him around like a top. AH he sank to
tte ground, he said: ''I am ruined,
give it to them boys." As our line
cauic in contact with the wires meu
tioned above and the men were thrown
to the ground, thc brave and gallant
Lieut. Wm. A. Harvey, seeing the
situation, sprang to his feet, waving
his sword and yelling: '"Forward,
boys; we will take that battery or
die." I'oor fellow! Just one month
later, while leading a skirmish Hue
against a battle line of Federals oa
O'Hare's Hill, he fell to rise no move.
On reaching and occupying the ene
my's outer line of works, Col. Nelron,
while rapidly passing along tho lines,
cried out: "Major Rion, hold these
works at all hazards." The gallant
Major replied: "I will do it, sir."
AB the firing again began Major Rion
mounted the parapet, whioh exposed
him from the belt up. He ordered
Privates McDowell and Scott to load
their guns for him and he fired
them as faRt ns they could. They
loaded and handed up to him for
twenty minutes. Pie was ordered
down,by Col. Nelson. "I mad? it hot
for their gunners, Colonel," was his re
ply.
Just as the Federal lines were giv
ing w?y and their men fleeing to the
woods and our firing ceased, Private
Jacob Poteat, of Company B, leaped
upon thc captured works, saying:
"They arc flying, boys. Let us oap
turc them or drive them to h-."
Just as these words passed his lips, a
ball pierced through his brain and he
fell dead at his captain's feet.
When Capt. Brooks, of Company
H, had realized that his company had
all been killed and wounded, he order
ed that all his dead men. 19 in num
ber, he brought to him, while he yet
lay on thc dust; and bloody ground,
suffering and bleeding from his own
severe wounds. Ile had them buried
in one grave. When thc last sad duty
was performed, he arose from the
grounds, wiped the trickling tears
from his powder-blfcckened and blood
stained cheeks and exclaimed: "My
brave heroes! they died for their coun
try," and he left the field.
I do trust the memory of the gallant
and noble deeds of the Confederate
soldier may live and sparkle in the
breast of generations to come, for in a
very few years there will not be one of
us to tell the tale. J. H. Neil,

Women Marry When too Young.
Baltimore, July 20.-Since Gov.
Warfield delivered his address advis
ing the Wilmington High School girls,
to shun Cupid's darts until they had
roached thc age of twenty-six he has
been repeatedly challenged to justify
his position.
The Governor has been out of town
a great deal lately, but was finally
pinned down and asked to explain:
"That remark," he said, "was made
playfully and without premedita
tion. It was not taken altogether
right, either. What I really did say
was: "My advice to you is not to
marry too early. If asked the age
when you should marry I should say
twenty-six. That was the age of
Mrs. Warfield when I married her and
I I have said io my daughters that I
should not give my consent to their
marrying until they arrive at that
age."
"Seriously speaking, I do think
that many lives are made failures
by persons marrying before their
characters have been formed. You
know 'When first we love we rare
ly wed.' This is a very true say
ing.
"Young people are impressionable
and romantic, and if left to their own
free will are apt to rush into matri
mony without properly considering
thc grave responsibilities of married
life. Many cases have come under
my observation where youthful and
hasty marriages have resulted ju un
happiness, discontent and lives of
drudgery. The old saying, 'Marry in
bas?te and repent al leisure* proves too
often true.
"Young women and men should re
member that the romantic attach
ments of youth are not lasting. I
would not wish to be regarded as
laying down iron-clad rules concern
ing the exact age when a girl should
marry; it might be at twenty-two,
twenty-four, twenty-five or twenty
six years, it all depends upon the
physical and mental development of
the girl.
"I meant rather to indicate that a
girl should not marry until she was
over twenty-one and of an age to
comprehend the responsibility of the
marriage state and to make an intelli
gent choice of the man whose compan
ionship will be either a help or hin
?eranoe to her life.
"There are many serious questions
to bo considered in deciding upon this
most important step. Health, hered
ity, environment, state, social ten
dencies-all should be oaretully weigh
ed if a h*ppy married life is desired.
Girls should not be carried away with
the good looks and . fascinating man
ners of men. The man a girl would
marry when she leaves school is
usually not the man she would seleot
after she has seen more of the
world."
When asked whether modern mam
mas do not eonsider it their duty
to .see their daughters comfortably
settled in matrimony, the Governor
said :
"Marriage for the purpose of set
tling a daughter in life is, as a rule,
a failure, and an unhappy one. No
parent, and especially no true and
loving mother, will wish to 'push her
daughter into matrimony before she
is fully matured and fitted for the
grave responsibilities of married
life.
"I was thirty-eight years old when
I married, and my wife waa twelve
years my junior. Wo sro happy and
contented with our lot, and have lour
children-threo girls and one boy
all Vigorous and healthy physically
and mentally. Henee my reasons
for advocating a mature age before
marriage."
"And suppose those yoong daugh
ters of yours look at tho matter from
a standpoint ether Iban years when
they leave school?' ' the Governor waa
asked.
He smilingly replied: >I have
warned them not to expect ray oon
seat to their marriage too young, and
I trait to oon vert .them to my way of
thinking by the time they ?aaoh%a
marriageable ago."
Cultivation of Alfalfa.
Columbia, July 30.-Commissioner
E. J. Watson has branched out and
taken a dip into the realm of agricul
ture. There has been a great deal
written about alfalfa in this State in
recent years, and there has been a
considerable amount of confusion as
to how to get the best results from
this important crop. Upon the occa
sion of Prof. Spillman's recent visit to
this State Commissioner Watson urged
him to prepare a special article upon
alfalfa in this State, and the following
artiele was furnished in compliance
with that request:
This valuable crop is adapted to cli
matic conditions in all parts of the
State of South Carolina. It is adapt
ed to a wide variety of soils, but does
best on rich alluvial soils. It will not
grow on distinctly wet land, though it
will stand considerable overflow. It
is very difficult to start on poor, thin
land, and is very subject to destruc
tion from weeds when tho alfalfa is
young and tender. On good rich laud
the best method of starting alfalfa is
to plough thc land broadcast Dear or
Bhortly after tho middle of summer,
harrowing every half day up to thc
plough to prevent the formation of
clods. The plow should run 7 or 8
inches deep unless the land has for
merly been plowed only 3 or i inches
deep, in that case plough an inch
deeper than the land has been plough
ed before. Keep the land well har
rowed 60 as to kill the weeds and keep
in moisture until about the first of
September, then sow alfalfa seed
broadcast at the rate of about 20
pounds per acre and cover it by means
of a drag harrow. If the season is
favorable this will give a good stand.
If the fall turns out to bo exceedingly
dry the stand will fall. In that case
the seeding should be repeated on the
same lacd in very early spring.
In uplands that are not in very good
heart it is wise to go to some trouble
in preparing it for alfalfa. A good
course to pursue is to sow rye in the
fall of the year.. When this rye is
heading out next spring, turn it under
good and deep with a turning plough,
harrow immediately, slanting the teeth
of the harrow so as not to drag out the
rye. Let the land lie about six weeks
to give the rye time to decompose
thoroughly and let the rains wash out
the resulting. acids from the soil. It
is a good thing to apply about 20
bushels of lime per acre at this time
if it is available. This lime should be
air-slacked, sown broadcast, and bar
. rowed into the surface. After the rye
has had time to rot aud the aoids to
be washed out, sow an carly variety
of cowpeas such as whippoorwill. Cut
these for hay the latter part of Au
gust. After the hay is off, disk the
land very thoroughly and sow alfalfa
as above indioated. It is very im
portant that alfalfa be allowed to go
into winter with a good covering,
whioh may be scoured by leaving a
growth of at least six inoh.es on the
field in the late fall.
The worst trouble that will be met
with in growing alfalfa in South Caro
lina will be the presence of weeds, par
ticularly orab gras a. The remedy for
weeds other than orab grass is to mow
' frequently the first summer. The
mowing will not hurt the alfalfa and
it will discourage most kinds of weeds.
If orab grass appears in the alfalfa a
different course must be followed.
Mow the field and pnt a heavy drag
harrow upon it with the teeth set fair
ly straight. In this manner it is pos
sible to harrow the orab grass out, for
it is easily pulled up, while the alfalfa
will be harmed very little, if any.
On good land that is free from
weeds, in a favorable season, alfalfa
ought to make four crops of hay the
first year after fall sowing. The sec
ond year it will make four orops better
than the first. There is one . small
field of alfalfa in South Carolina sown
sixty-nine yews ago on whioh there is
still a moderately good stand, so that
it would seem>the orop is long-lived.
The alfalfa orop may be made use of
in three ways with very great advan
tage. First, it furnishes an abund
ance of very valuable green feed for
summer. Second, it furnishes a large
amount of very fine hay, whioh is BO
rich that even hogs may be wintered
on the dry hay. They will not make
any gain on this feed, but if given an
abundanoo of it they will not lose
weight. The third use is for hog pas
ture, A g 3od stand of alfalfa on good
land will carry from five to eight head
of hogs per aero during the whole sum
mer season, and if these hogs are fed
from one to three ears of oom eaoh
per day, they will make rapid growth
and produce pork very cheaply.
Alfalfa also makes good pasturo for
horses and mules, but is dangerous for
saltia sad eheop on account of bloat.
There ia danger from bloa* only whoa
