WAR SI How a X^ittle G-irl ai cer J5ecan "Our Women in thc War" lu the South of today there is but ono war which is spoken of a-s "Tin "War." and that ia thc tori iblc fratrical strife that was waged bet Aeon thc people ot' the North and South from 3HG1 to lSt?f?. The events and incidents which arc hereinafter sci forth are true, and therefore for reasons of a modest and delicate nature the names of tho real persons in interest are not used, only their initials being given-with one exception, and that is thc name of the young Federal captain. Inasmuch as he .knows nothing of my purpose to write this article there can be no im propriety in the use of bis namo. And moreover, I desire that bis namo be given to the world that be may receive the honor which his gcutlc deeds of courtesy merit. Is it true that, "There is a Divinity that shapes our ends, Rough hew them how we will," although we may not always be able to fathom tho pur po60 of tbiB Divinity? It would be difficult to conjecture what special object this ruling power bad iu view in shaping the destinies of thc people who appear in this story. Neverthe less, it must be true that then- was a purpose, for it is incomprehensible that thc lines of thc lives of the dramatis personae, herein, should cross and recross so often, and ai ?uch long intervals of time through thc in fluence of blind chance. In tho last days of .January, or tho first days of February, ]H(ii>, thc vic torious army ofkGcn. W. T. Sherman, having accomplished its feu', of "Marching through Georgia," cro3scd over thc Savanuah River into South Carolina and took its destroying way toward Columbia, the doomed Capitol city of thc Palmetto State, which the people of tho North theo, in bitter ness, denominated tho "Hotbed of Secession." Abrigado cf this Grand Army of Invasion, found in tho woy cf its march thc quiet little village cf Barnwell, which was the seat of Gov ernment- of the County, as well, in middle-South Carolina. It was ia peaceful hamlet, inhabited at that time almost exclusively by noncombatants, consisting of old men, women, ohildren and slaves. On the ' outskirts of the village was che resi dence of Ooh A., a man prominent in the counsels, of the Government of tho State and high in the confidence of the people. The house was a typical old Southern home, belonging to no especial school of architecture, and made up of the main body, and nu merous additions, whioh if they did not contribute anything to the symmetry of the building,gc added muoh to its comfort and?'home-like attractiveness. The large whito columns, whioh sup ported the piazza, the indispensable adjunct to every Southern house, gave it an imposing appearance. Just in front of the house stood three large oak trees, /whose boughs gavo grato fu! shade to the occupants of the piazza. Those trees gave to tho placo its name, "The Oaks," a namo sy i ? onymous throughout tho State, with refined hospitality and intellectual cir:turo. The mansion, with its ap partenances of slaves'quarters, barns, stables aod other outhouses, stood back more than a quarter of a mile from tho main public highway to Aik en, and an avenue of beautiful wator oaks lined the driveway from this highway to the house. In tho spa cious iawn in front of thc house, Gen. Hunter, commanding p brigade of the Federal Army, fixed his headquarters, and his troops found excellent camp ing grounds in the lovely woods and spreading fields of the estate. There are vandals in every army. It seems to be an incident of the organi zation of armies that wicked and bru tal men must fe rm ? part of the force But we people of the South, and es pecially of South Carolina, may well be pardoned if we believe that there were more men of this bad character is Sherman's Army, whi?h invaded the South, than have been gathered to gether in one body since their proto types overran and sacked Rome. That they bad a total disregrrdof the rules of civilized ?warf are, and that they persecuted, insulted and robbed de fenceless woroon and ohildren, and ruthlessly and Wantonly destroyed private property is no longer a matter open to dispute. And it then brought shame, to the brave soldiers bf that same army who felt the disgrace these miscreants brought Upon the blue uniforms which they wore. Col. A.; and both Jiis, eons were in the Confederate Army, and at the time of which I am writing were with their' respective commands, far from home. Tho three young ladiee of thc \family had been scot to the Ursuline Convent at Columbia, S.

Mrs. A. with her two little girls, aged respectively eight and six years, Bod her devoted friend and cotnpauion, Mrs. V.. and the house servants, occu pied the mansion. The Federal soldiers speedily over ran the premises, 'helping themselves, without let or Intolerance to every j thing of value, but especially to ? everything that was eatable, cattle, ! poultry, eggs, bacon, corn, flour, all these were taken or destroyed. Desks, trunks, bureaus, all placea where it waH thought valuables could j bo hid, were thoroughly ransacked, j Thc stables and barns were burned, ' and live times the dwelling was fired. ? but each time the brave women within ! it, and a faithful slave, put out the j flames, till in theer admiration of : their courage and enduranco, and for j a certain reason which will presently j appear, a/guard was set over it, and it was saved from destruction. Upon tho approach of tho army, Mrs. A. had secreted, in a safe place, a small store of provisions, for the use of herself and those depen dent on "her. Necessarily the Bupply was limited, and the somewhat pro longed stay of the soldiers, in their comfortable camp saw thc little hoard of food grow less and less until : it finally disappeared. Then hunger j became an inmate of tho house where . prodieal plenty had been wont to bc kn own. I said there were vandals in all ar mies, aud that there were finally in Sherman's Army, but I have also said, or if I haveu't soid it heretofore. I say it now, there arc brave and chi valrous soldiers and Christian gentlo meu in every army, and there were many who answered to this description in thc army of which I am writing* who revolted at the scenes of cruelty and vandalism which they were com pelled to witness, with no power to prevent. Among the officers cf tho Head quarter's staff of Gen. Hunter, were a number of oultured and refined young men who had asked and obtained per mission of Mn. A. to use the piano, which had stood silent in the old house since its young mistresses bsd sought refuge in the Convent. Natu rally, they saw, and were moved by the signs of distress and hunger visi ble in the household. Among these officers was Capt. Amerious Whedon, of company A, 32d Indiana volunteer Infantry. Of fine form, slender pres ence and handsome faoe, he bore about him the unmistakable impress of the gentleman. His ?ind heart was deeply touched by the evidence of suffering within his view; but knowing the fortitude and unflinching courage of the Southern women, he hesitated to offer either assistance or sympa thy. At. lust, however, ho approached Mrs. A. and asked that the little girls be allowed to go with him to tho head quarters and get some food. The kindly offer was promptly declined by the Spartan mother; but Mrs. E. who was not less patriotic, but more politio than ber friend, consented that the ohildrcu should go with tho Captain. The younger one, a timid little thing, beld back, and resisted all tho bland ishments of the young officer-but the older one promptly aooepted his invitation and in a few minutes the little blue-eyed, homespun-olad "rebel" maida was skipping over tho lawn, her hand safely clasped in that of the "Yankee Captain." Her ac count- of the gentle reception and kindly treatment, she had had, melted tho mother's heart, and her description of tho delioious food, including coffee, "sure onocigh, real coffee," (then an unknown article in that latitude) won tho sister, and thereafter whilst the army remained in its' camp those ohildren took their meals at "head quarters." But the army had to movo on in its relentless way, and pretty soon the ohildren missed great ly the good f J od and the kindly hos pitality of their ?friend. These they doubtless recalled and longed, for, when in the days following the de parture of tho troops, they picked up the grains of corn with whiob they appeased their hunger. After the war the years went by io swift procession for the people of tho Sooth who, too proud to grieve and too busy to repine, were engaged ic the Herculean task Of teetering law, order and social stability to their country. Perhaps* fifteon years after those February days of '65 had gone by, a gentloman, whose home was in Barn well, S. C., was visiting relatives or friands in the Ststc of I nd i uni. Among othors whoso acquaintance bo formed was. Capt. Whedon, who, when he loamed that tho visitor rod ded i ? Barnwell, asked if he kniw aught of thc family of Col. ^ . when lie had ascertained that his acquaint ance was a friend of thc family, ho I gave him an account cf tho things which I have herein narrated, and said to him, "I have hero a book which I have long wanted to return to that family, and which I beg that you will deliver for inc." Thc visitor gladly undertook thc task, and in time thc volume was delivered to its owners. In the back ol' the book was written ; this, *'B.- to A.-" (the real names being given.) 1'pon the Hy leaf these words were found: ''This book was picked up in the A's library Feb ruary ll, lSi;.">. by Americas Whcdon, Capt. and Act. Inapr. Gen. 1st lirig. 3d Div. l i A. C. A, Cumberland. (jen. M. C. Hunter, commander of brigade, requested me not io allow the tu^n to burn the hou^c. I remain ed behind and saw all saf'-, but was j captured thc same day, February 12, '05, several miles from Aiken, S. C., by Wheeler's Scouts." In the back of the book these words arc written (in pencil): "Amencua Whcdon, Capt. Co. 3, 82d Ind. Vol. Inf. Tue little girl that took supper with tho officers in thc margueo in thc front yard, captured the hearts of all, and was the means of saving the mansion." In the years that had gone by since the book was picked up at "Tho Oaks" and its return, the little girl who had confidingly accepted the "Yankee" oificer'd invitation to supper, had 'grown to womanhood and had married thc son of Gen. 13. ou whose staff her father served in the war, and who had presented this little volume to her father. It was natural that this me mento of past stirring times should bc given into their keeping since they were most closely identified with its history. It is now in their affection ate care, a constant reminder of theil honored fathers, both now gone tc their long rest, as well as of thc hu mane soldier, who, amidst scenes ol cruelty and hardship felt for th? frightened aud hungry children, am who comforted and fed them. At thc beginning of tho holidays o thc Christmas season of 1902, a youti| man applied al the office in Louisville Ky., of the Southern Railway for in formation touching thc most direc route to Barnwell, S. C., und was di reotcd by a clerk to the office of one c the officials, to whom he made know his wishes, and from whom he rouen ed tho information he Bought. When this business had been tram aoted tho official asked his. visitor , he was a resident of Barnwell, and wi ; told ihat he was not, bnt that he WE on his way there to spend the hoi days with relatives. ? moment ti: older man seemed lost in retrospei , tion, then he said, "I was onoe i Barnwell." Thereupon followed narrative of the coming of Sherman army, the encampment in Gol. A' i premises, the inoident of the invil tion to the children, the finding ar return bf the hook. When this la . step was resohed, the narrator ssii , "I recall that the inscription in tl book was this: UB- to A-." (givii thc real names- .of the donor ac donee.) Possibly you know them, < of them?" ..Yes," was the reply, "lam tl grandson of both of those gentlemei My father is the son of Gen.

It is needless to say the Capta was quito as ranch pl"s?ed at th meeti?x aa wau hin viiitor, albeit 1 could hardly realize that 'the litt blue eyed "rebel" maid whose piotu lingered in his fancy was the tooth of the stalwart six-foot young mi who stood before him.

Orr's .Regiment, Mc- 1 Gowan's Brigade. 1 Rutledge, Ga. A young captain of our county, himself a married man, read and wrute letters for many of his men unable to read or write. He hold me of open- ; ing a letter at the request of a .?turdy young soldier who had left a young wife at home. There was nothing of special moment in ?.he letter, but the soldier blushed and laughed when bia captain held up a blue yarn string and said, "What does this mean, Rod gers, a secret token from your wife?" '.Yes, captain, that means good UCWB." Months after, returning from a fur lough, the young soldier came to his captain and said, "I left a young sol der boy at home, sir, and we've" named him Robt. E. Leo." "Rodgers," said the captain, "was that the yarn striog token?" "Yes, captain, that was it." During the preliminary manoeuvors which preceded the battle of Chioka mauga, Manigaulb's Brigade was in position neara small farm, the hum ble log oabin of which marked tho poverty of the owner, but close to this was a patch of luscious sorghum cane, into which the boys found their way aud commenced to forage. As they' were in the midst of the cane,breaking it and pucking tho juicy portions, two new comers appeared on tho scene, Col. Sawyer, of thc 24th Alabama Reg iment, and ho owner. The Colonel promptly o.Jercd the men out, but the old woman interfered, her dress and appearance indicated how depen dent abe was upon that little patch for part of her support, but her heart was warm for tho cause. "Colonel," she said, "that's my sorghum, I rais ed it, but these are my brave boys, let them have all they want. Pitch iu boys and help yourselves. Ejes Ever Homeward. We are not yet the colonizers that our English cousins are. They neem to settle down anywhere, and 9tick in placid happiness. Here in Manila are many of them married to mestizas. Io China they have mated with Chinese. Io Japan they have suooumbed to the dainty ladies of that land of oherry bios? some. They da not'run away afterward, as some of our susceptible army officers have done. They settle down and stay, and bring up broods of little foreign oitisens, half John Bull and half otherwise,' and when they die they are buried whare they HyerL Our people are different. They want "God's country," They miss the elevated and the red and white dows, and the "news extraB'' and the snow, and the other things that go to make up tue composite photograph that pic tures homo to a citizen of the United -'3tai.es, If they settle here they explain that it is only temporary. "They oame to "make their pile," and go back-to live. Christmas accentuated this feeling. From the highest to the lowest eaoh exile insisted on stioking close to the tradition? of home. The stockings and the turkey and tho cranberries aud the trees-were rigorously neces sary. Yet nothing quite compensated. On Christmas eve st a brilliant table, flashing with oolors and gay with ,holly, the eyes of two' civilian offir oials met, peering through the fra grant mint that crowned their juleps. "Pretty fine, by Jove," said one enthusiastically. "Yes," muttered the other, "but it isn't New York 1" That ie the spirit. It must bo New York or Oshkosh, or Philadelphia, cr Dead Dog, or anywhere in ''God's country," But it must be there.

Thc recent riot? in Russia ami the :on11icts between the people and the soldiers have their origin io disputes that aro now a hundred years old. The hoy who is interested io Russian iii story-and e very boy ought to bo, "or, in tho Wost, it is the largest na tion of thc world-may understand the situation and what has led to the pres set troubles by studying the following points: The farmers, thc small merchants ind the studcuts of Russia have been asking for a century past that tho Uzar give them a parliament in which they may have representation eo that, in regard lo imposing taxes, making war, in developing the country, they may have a voice. They have none now. This parliament, if granted, would be almost similar to thc Congress of tho United States, having two branch es, and debatiog all great public ques tions before any final action on them could be taken. The noblos, or people of the .so-call ed higher classes of Russia, the offi cers of the army, and the omoials holding governmental positions, have resisted these demands on the ground that the government of Russia vests all power in the Czar, and that, if a parliamentary or constitutional govern ment should bo created, the powor of the Czar woull be gone. Back and forth the two sides .to this issue have struggled for a hundred years, and neither is victor yet. The riots reported in the public press in January were not as serious as stated, although many innocent people were killed. The best judges of thc situation, learned men of tho colleges and uni versities, egree that, while the present uprising failed of its purpose, it is but one of many leading to the ced of all monarohicil government in Europe and tho establishment of re publics quite similar to that of tho United States. Trie trend of all government the world over is to that whioh gives tho voice of the people the freest expres sion and does not place poner in tho hands of any single person. Of this kind of government President Roose velt ij tho highest exponent at tho present time. Mining Arsenic. A Virginian farmer, up among the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, cleared a new field and pastured hia ows there. Before long the animale aiokeoed and one died. Thinking that perhaps the spring whioh bubbled from the rocks in apparent purity might bo the onuee, the farmer caused its waters to be analysed.'. It waa found that they contained arsenic in snob quantities as to render them dangerous to man and beast. This discovery, says tbe Boston Herald, ded to an in dustry, unique, not only in tho United States, but ih the western hemisphere; that ,is the mining of arsenic ores and the manufacture of white arsenic, for the supply of which America has hitherto depended entirely upon for eign markets. 1 ' Arsenic is mined in Japan, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Germany, and Eng land: Ita uses are many.. As a poison it has been known from very early time?. Thc peasant women of Austria con sume large quantities of it, having faith in its virtues as a beautifier, and the men of the same region are addict ed ip its use in tho mistaken belief that it increases their bodily strength and endurance. Arsenic is a useful minerai. It U used in tho manufacture of . glass, white metal, Paris. green and a great variety of paints; in printing . calico, io flaking toilet soaps, cosmeacti, xn? compilion powders; in the manufac ture of firework;* and aa a constituent of many alloys. For thoBe and sirni^ lar purposes between five and six thou sand tons-.are imported into tho United States every year. The average value ; of white arsenic may, be placed at about eighty-five dollars a ton. . ; It was only about, a year ago ; that tho arsenic ore was discovered in Vir ginia;; then the . mountain top round the present mining town of Br in ton was an almost unbroken > wildness.

Last night our old friends, Lew Dockstander's Minstrels, among other features of their performance, gave a graphic illustration of the methods of a woman in a street car. The picture was recognised promptly by the audi? euee, as evidenced by tho laughter and applause with which both sexes greet ed it. Tho familiar form of tho dis puto as to which of tho two women passengers shall pay tho fare, while thc conductor patiently waite, banging to bis job by his eyelids, tho slow and careful search into the handbag f jr tho purse aud through ail tho parti tions in the purse for tho money, end ing with the fishing up and oalm pre sentation of a $5 bill were repeated, of course, with some burlesque and exaggeration. If stage conditions bad made it possible the minstrsle might have gone further and illustrated tho calm indifference with wbioh so many women hold a street car full of busy and hurried people while they ex change their farewells with a friend and the tranquil deliberation with which they olimb aboard. The truth ia, Southern women have been de ferred to and petted so muoh that many of them are inclined to forget or ignore tho existence of the rights of others. The deferenoe and petting are entirely right and we hope to see them continue always, but the women should keep in mind that in theil turn they owe sonic deference to the demands and requirements of modern lifo and conditions. One of the most urgent of these demands is alertness and promptness is all dealings anc doings in which the public is oonoern ed. A familiar sight on our streets is < lino of from four to sis. charming wo men, strolling abreast, engaged ii earnest conversation with each other apparently oblivious of the fact tba they oocupy the entire sidewalk an aro forcing people who are trying t pass them io either direction to tak to' thc gutter. In some score of othe ways which may be mentioned, i street oars, in railway oars, on. th sidewalks, in tho stores, driving an riding, the average woman manifest her indifference to the rights of oth< people. Io these matters and in many others involving consid?ration for the rights and comforts of our fellows, women are the most conspicuous of fenders,, but they aro not the only of fenders. As they offend because of their failure to study aud appreciate new oonditioos, many mon are far more offensive beoause of their exag gerated acceptance of new conditions and forgetfulness of tho time-honored: requirements of kindness and courtesy. It is not only in public, but in per sonal and business affairs. Very few men in business are considerate o?" the feelings and rights of their em- ? ployes or associates as they ought to be. Those of us who employ take lit tle advantages, frequently of people who are unable to. help themselves. A man who would 1 not think for tx. moment of stealing a dollar will de liberatively Bloh an hour or two of bis employes' timo. We forget that peo ple who ure required to servo the pub lio, suoh as minor officials and employ es of corporations, 'have feelings andi rights entitled to respect. We are? rude, harsh, impatient or exaotiog ia circumstances in which we would nat dare to take similar attitude toward, our equals or people who were in posi tion to resent our insolence. Wc send. - our drivers and servants out in weath er under conditions which we would not think of enduring'for ourselves,. ' very often meroly to gratify our whims or to save ourselves a small inconven ience or annoyance. We impose on those who serve us in various capaci ties unpleasant tasks without stopping; to think how we would like them if our positions were reversed. We do? not take time or thought to be polite and considerate, and we forget that the first claim on all tho courtesy we have or cad acquire is with those-who? aro dependent on us or who are not able to resont discourtesy. This lifo would, be infinitely happier and sweeter, business and social af-. fairs would move far more smoothly and the general moral.tone of commun ities with other people of ali. kinds and everywhere, and faithfully striv ing to take tho pains tobe considerate of the feelings and respectful to.the rights of ?our brother men and- sister women in all ranks pi life and in al? vocations nod conditions.--A.
