' ' M:p[SIIIIB?ltlff:f^m WAK Si A OL.i?U By Waltci SoiiiO weeks ago I stood by tho open grave of ono who had paused by more than a decade thc psalmist's limit of human life; a man whom I had known and honored and esteemed from my early boyhood; a man whom for all these years I had held free and fre quent oonveroo, and yot one in whose record as a Confederate Boldier there was an incident that came to mo only when "ashes to ashes" and "dust to dust" had broken the uilonce of tho soft May air and tbe earth lay fresh upon his new-made grave. As I turned ?way when the rites were end ed my friend Mose Murphy, who had shared with me the last loving service we could render to our long-time friend and who had been his comrade in thc o!d war days, said to me: "Few men in the army ever knew positively that any shot fired by them in battle or ?kirmish line had been effective, but the man we have just buried knew beyond the shadow of a deubt, in one instance, at least, not only that his aim had been true, but that it had found a shining mark in the person of abrigado oommander in the fedoral army." And then as wo strolled homeward under the shadow of marble and granite ebaf t andoonotaph, breath ing the fragrance of the bloomiog flowers that beautify the silent city, he told me the story. It was a May day in '64. Qrant's overland oampaign had met with fail ure both at the Wilderness and Spott sylvania. The long drawn agony of the "Bloody Angle" had ended, and and in tho early hours of the follow icg day, while the two armies, worn out with oonstant fighting, were rest ing in comparative quiet, a brigade from Hancock's corpa was sent out on a reconnoissanoe to ascertain if Lee was ohanging base. Crossing the stream that lay between the hostile lines, and passing through a lane that led up from the foot of the bridge, they reached s stretch of woodland within whose shaded depths s ?quad _- n,.v.k*. T__:_u..t iuu iivui ww a jjvgivu) vu |iiw><iv line, was keeping watchful guard. Two hundred yards or more in front of this line a vidotle post was manned by Lieut. Dial, Mr. Elisha Bheney, and another soldier, whose name is not reoalled. The federal oomman der, suspecting that he was nearing hostile ground, halted his brigade, de ployed skirmishers sod, drawing bis sword, prepared] to Uad them sa. Just then, from tbs little vidette post, there was a single puff of smoke, the ring of a single carbine, and the gallant qffioor fell fi om his horse, and was borna to the veranda of a dwelling that stood near the roadside, not far from, where he Veil. Only a single shot had been fired, and that had come .from Mr. Bheney's hands, but it hid counted. After a temporary ?eley, oaused by the loss of this lead er, the Ceders! brigade edvs?csd, driving the Confederate skirmishers, but on reaching the main line of Gen. G. J. Wright's dismounted cavalry, they were in turn driven baok* to their own lines, with some loss. Cobb's Legion in this engagement was com manded by Major Jones, the father of Mr. Allen W. Jones of this county, and a brave and efficient offioer of whose original company Mr. Bheney was a member. Of the essential aoouraoy of the story told me I felt assured, for as I had oooasion once to say of my friend, Ben 8esgo, I would believe any state ment Mose Murphy would mske even though I knew it to bo untrue, Feel ing come desire to know whether the "official records" of tbe wer wbnld Sisclose the identity of the offioer who ked suffered from the seoursoy of Mr. Rheney's aim,- I have consulted the official reports from Hanoook's corps the day named, and give Hlow the re port made by the wounded officer him self, Gen. Samuel B. Carroll, and by his division commander,. Gen* John R. Gibbon. . .;. * 3 Gen. Carroll says: "May 13, about 3 a.m. I was ordered by Gen. Gib bon, commanding division, ?0 take rho Second Brigade (Gen. Owen's) r?nd make a reconnaissance in front of v*y light. I started to ? alfill the e*dev\ but shorey after throwing ont skir mishers received . A severo wound, ?bleb compelled me 'to' leave the leid/?.': '.. :'! . Genoral Gibboas says: "On May 13, while intrepidly exposing himself luring a reeonnoisssnee, General Car* roll had his loft ?m ky^ rifle bullet, and was j serried fro m th o leid. His conspicuous daring during the campaign had neon most-, markst>. and his loss was a severe blow to tho ^vision." ; ) Generd Hanoooi,' al so, ia bk own report,, refers to the recennoissaaoe made by ?is order, sud to the W^OMOV in^-|^^?^arr^^e:;' .; %$Sm.

Clark. oooupied the extreme right of Grant's line, while Hampton's cavalry, to which Cobb's Lexton belonged, waB guarding Lee's left flank. These com mands, therefore, on May 13, 1864, were fronting each other. As this was tho only reoonnoissanoe made by any brigade from that corpB, and Gen eral Carroll was the only officer of that rank wounded on that day, these official reports not only thoroughly confirms the story told me by my friend Mose, but definitely determine the identity of the victim of his com rade's aim. These records further show that General Carroll had been at one timo colonel of the Eighth Ohio regiment, and that after recovering from the wound received on May 13th, he re turned to duty, ?nd in the early months of '65 was promoted by Gen eral Banoook to the command of a di vision in the Shenandoah Valley. The story I havo given reoalls a tribute paid to Mr. Rheney years ago by another comrade, George W. Hughes, who persisted iu entering the servioe himself over the protest of the examining surgeons, and fought bravo ly to thc last, dying in 1872. In speaking of Mr. R's. military service he always referred to him as one of the bravest men in the command, and said that when other men on the firing line were prudently seeking the pro tection of trees or other natural breast work, Mr. Rheney always fought in .the open, seemingly regardless of his own personal safety. Though entering the servioe in mid dle life, he survived the dose of the war by more than, forty years, dying in his 83rd year..j&L brave soldier, a good citizen, a kind neighbor, a loving husband and father, he was faithful to the obligations involved in all the relations of life. And when the fee bleness of ?ge osma on, and the end drew near, to his phyeioian, who urged bim to take the mo dio i no he had pre pared in order that he might get well again, he said: "No, dootor, I don't need any medicine. I am not siok. I am only worn out. I have lived out my time and I am ready to go." So, bravely to the last, fighting still in the open, with no tremor1 upon hie lips and no fear in his hesrt, he met his last evening and joined his com rades on the other shore. The news that Admiral Rojestven sky, on his trial by eourtmartial, has pleaded guilty of surrendering. a war ship in the battle of the Ssa of Japan, following as it does the trial of Ad miral NebogatpS for the surrender. of a division of the fleet and the convic tion and punishment of Gen. Stoossel for the \ surrender of Port Arthur, raises two questions: First, whctheV these commanders have been justly condemned; sud secondly, whether the Russians proved themselves formi dable opponents in respect either of generalship or of soldiership durtag the Far Eastern war. Let us look first at the oases of Bo jestvensky and Nebogatoff. The lat est student of tho war from a; naval point of view, Mr. F. T. Jane, though a fervent admirer of the Japanese, ad mits tb fit while the BRIMO fleet was hastily organised aud poorly officered,' it kept station wei) enough to excite remark when ? reaohed Singapore, and in several other matters wss found to bo superior to whit ned boon ex pected. .The ored^.for tome approach toem?ieuoy is given entirely to Ad miral Rojestvensky, whose abilities, owing to bie ultimate defeat/ in Tsun* ebima Straits, have hot, in Mr. Jane's opinion, been properly recognised. How did it happen that Rojestvenskp chose the inside route for Vladivos toek through th? Ssa of Japan aid on the eve of Togo's attack made the mis take of fomlag his vessels in two bat tle Beset : Afc appears that Rojestven-" sky's M^U had sighted ff' ^ 1 j took to bs the main' Japanese fleet o2 Fomoga, and there is no doubt she Balite I fleet when it entered the Straits of -ftuj^yj^^ bulk of the Japanese navy to be be? following night to act sufficiently in i unison to beat off two torpedo attaoks, and the wonder is that they held to gether so long, not that they so ottered so soon. Once scattered, their de' struotion was easy and inevitable. Yet it if. io be noted that even at the end only the four ships composing the ^ division commanded by Nebogatoff and the destroyer Bedovy, on ?vhioh Rojestvensky's party had taken ref- ' uge, were sufficiently demoralized to , surrender. Rojestvcnsky, though he ' pointed out that at the time he was dazed and out of his head, has ac knowledged tc the courimartial that he took no moasuros to avert the sur- , render of Bedovy, and Nebogatoff on bis trial pleaded that if he had con tinued fighting he would only have caused a sacrifice of life. This was doubtless true, but Mr. Jane concurs with many naval offioers in thinking the degradation inflicted on Neboga torl by the Russian admiralty justified by expediency; not only because the Japanese io similar circumstances would never have surrendered, but also beoauee Russians in the same war, andypven in the same battle, had set a beater example. The Oushakoff, for instance, refase?* -o surrender, and sank atill firing. In an earlier fight near the same spot the Rurik had ohosen a similar fate. The deaths of those who went down in the Rurik and the Oushakoff were by no means fruitless, but on tho contrary were almoBt BB useful to the Russian navy of the future aa if they had occurred in the hour of victory. Mr. Jane re minds us that if the priooipic of justi fied surrender should be admitted it would prove impracticable to draw the line. He looks, therefore, upon the i meroiless degradation of Nebogatoff and his captains by the Russian ad miralty as perhaps its one strong ac tion during the war. With that ac tion is oonip-."ed the course of the Chinese authorities, who executed every man left alive af ter the surren der of WeihaiWei in thc China-Ja panese war, and' thc Carthaginian practice of eruoifying a defeated lead er. . It will he remembered that the British navy reoeived a similar warn ing against incapacity- when Admiral Byng was put to death for his defeat, off Minorca. It is. certain thai thc orders of the Russian admiralty were very ole Br. They were that in t*c event of defeat a eapteic was to de stroy his ship. This bsd been done by the captains of the. Variag and Koriots, asd it had been dose, though not very thoroughly, by thc naval officers when General Stoesael surren dered Port Arthur. It was done by most.of the osptains of thc ill-starred Baltic fleet, and ought to have been done by Nebogatoif aud Rojes'tvensky, though in the latter's case there may : have been extenuating circumstances. As for Svoeasolj who figured as a j hero in and outside of Russia while ? a j I yet tbs feet? were imperfectly know*. , ! it was established before the court* martial when ho came to bo tried th st although the garrison in Port Arthur was exposed to a murderous plunging fire after the Japanese had gained pcssesBion ot We surrounding kcighte, yet the fortress was still supplied with enough food and munitions, cf ; War to resist for months.

The cattle tick carries the"germ" that oauscs Texas fever, a disease very fatal to grown cattle. Cat tle that (ita raised on land infested with ticks are inoculated with the germ by becoming infested with ticks imme diately after birth. At this age they suffer a very mild attadk of the disease with no visible external symptoms and after they have passed through it they are then proof against the infection and can be exposed to tioks later in life without harm. But if cattle are raised on land which there are no tioki and ere afterwards moved to tick-in fested lands, they will become infest ed with the disease. They will. a1s( suffer from the disease if they remait on the land on whioh they were reiset an i tiok-infested osttle are introduce! among them. "Beoause of these faots the federe government has established a quema tine line across the country dividing th regions infested with tioke from thoa io which there are no tioks. No esl tie oan be moved from the tiokinf eete regions across this quarntine line es oept for immediate slaughter. Oattl for dairy purposes, or for feeding c breeding are barred. Thus the ma ket for the cattle produced in the Stat is considerably restricted. in the tiok-infested area, notably Vi ginia, North Carolina, Tesas av Oklahoma, whioh had within the boundaries an. area in whioh tioke e jilted only a few farms or ranches, ha' succeeded in having such areas plsoi above the quarantine line, thus ope .og new marketa for the cattle rata therein. This . was accomplished 1 the passage of a law hy the legislate establishing a State quarantine divi ing the slightly infested area from t' other pert of the State and the era* cation of the tioks from the infest pisces io the slightly infested ari When these conditions are broun, about the State quarantine line si then 'adopted by the Federal gove! ment and made a part of jibo natioi a naran tino lino. 'This plan is just feasible in Sooth Carolin* as in any the States mentioned.
