One by one the ranks of the chival rie gray are thining as each grizzle< warrior passes over the river to thi Great Beyond. When General Joi Wheeler's eyelid's closed in deat] there passed away one of the mos vxique and picturesque character that helped to make the history of th Southern soldier bright and glorious True Gen. Wheeler served his coun try, and served it well, in the nationa halls of congress and in his short bu heroic service in the Spanish war, bu it is not of these services that we lov to remember him by. It was tha more glorious, more splendid. mor eOivalric devotion to his belove< vouthland, as the dashing impetuou cavalry officer in the Confederate ar my, striking dismay and terror to hi foes, ready for any privations, fo shall have been destroyed by th, to begin" anytime. When'the bitter animosities engen dered by that fratricidal struggl, shall haveb een destroyed by th "keen tooth of time," history wil aecord this chivalric soul its tru niche in the temple of honor an< fame. It is well that his sacred ashe skall rest in the soil of the beautifu southland which he loved so well, an for which he was so willing to Ia: down his life. On a gentle slope a beautiful Arlington, the former hom, of his illustrious leader, General Rob ert E. Lee, he lies buried-the iron; of fate that he should lie among thos who were once his deadly antagonists We have no disposition to appea sectional but it occurs to us it woul have been but justice to the charaete of a great officer and consistent wit other states to have his remains res in the bosom of his na.tive state c Georgia. The illustrious Lee. the in mortal Jackson repose in the so each so grandly and heroically d< fended; the knightly Wade Hampto rests softly under the pines of his ow beloved state-and it does seem the Wheeler, the equal among the grea 'est of cavalry officers, should has been laid to rest -in his native state c Georgia. It seems to. us it won] grate upon the feelings of .the Confei erate survivors, that one of thei 'former comrades in arms shall slee his last sleep among those who wei not his comrades. We regret that our usual interesi ing Prosperity news letter is erowde out. It will appear in our next issu1t DUNCAN A BANKRUPT. I'ermer President of the Union ani Buffalo uMil-In the United States District Court Yes terday Presented a Peti tition to be Made a Bankrupt. Thomas C. Duncan, former pres ident of the Buffalo and Union cottoi mills, and reputed to be a man o considerable wealth, was yesterda: adjudged a bankrupt in the Unite States District Court and .John - Earle, of Columbia, was appointe referet to administer the affairs o the estate. The petition to hay Thomas C. Duncan adjudged a bank rupt was filIed on November 13 by th Union and Buffalo Cotton mills an< the Exchange Banking and Trus company. The case has also attracted n< small interest in this and other cities not only on account of the money in volved, but also by reason of th, *moves of the attorneys in the case When the ease was deferred froi Tuesday, January 23, to Tuesday January 30, it was believed that som< coilnpromise would be arrived at be tween the contending parties. The case was to have been called yesterday morning at 10 o'clock, and in anticipation of the examination o: T. C. Duncan, who, it was rumored -would go on the stand, a small erowd gathered in the corridors of the post. office building. But the hearing was deferred to 12 o'clock, and at 12 it was again deferred until 2 o 'clock. When court finally convened Attor ney .T. P. K. iryiu, who was repre- A senting )unean, read a petition, in' which Duncan asked to be adjudged 1 bankrupt. The petition asking to be n adjudged a bankrupt came somewhat I as o surprise to those who had fol- e lowed the case in the courts. and it . was commented upon that Duncan J finally admitted that he was bank rupt, and was not so proven by the petitioners. Of course Duncan will not take the stand in the bankruptcy proceedings. but he may be called to testify by Referee Earle at the hear ing which will be had in Union on February 27. and at that hearing some ilight may be thrown on the books t that have been missing. Duncan's Petition. Duncan 's petition read by Attor ney J. P. K. Bryan, was as follows: 1 And now comes Thomas C. Dun can and shows to this court that at and before the filing of the petition herein his property, at fair valuation. was altogether adequate to pay his debts in full. That his assets consist ed in large part of securities and property in course of construction. and these securities were pledged as collateral. That it required the cooperation of the creditors ond pledges and rea sonable business management to ob tain the fair and full value of the same. e '"That notwithstanding the earnest 1 endeavor of this respondent in per e sonal negotiation with his creditors i and the creditors of his creditors to t obtain the best results from such s properties, and securities, upon a fair I adustmenjt of values, the efforts of I this respondent have been unavailing v owing to the lack of harmony among t his creditors. That at this time, hav a ing made all possible efforts for co - operation of his creditors to realize r to the best advantage his assets, to e pay his creditors in full, and finding the same now unavailing, he prays r that this court now declare him bank d rupt, and administer his property for* r the benefit of his creditors.' 1i When this petitioni was concluded. tAttorney W. C. Miller, who was ae-. ftively handling the case in the absence -of H. A. M. Smith. moved that John i J. Earle, of Columbia, be appointed referee and that the first reference abe had at Union on February 27. At n torney Bryan objected to the refene~ t for a moment, and favored Coluwhma: ;as a lplace for holding the first hear eing. He finally consented, however, fand Mr. Earle was appointed referee. d The petition to have the Union cot -ton mills adjudged bankrupt will be r argued on February 7. The petition--4 P ers are the Union and Buffalo cotton emills companies and the Exchange Banking and Trust company. In the United. States district court yesterday, the following were adjudg Ied bankrupt on their voluntary peti tions in bankruptcy: Alvin Hook, Richland county; Earle appointed referee. Thomas J. Ryan, Richiand county: iEarle appointed referee. John W. Berry, Orangeburg coun ~ty; Bowman appointed referee. "Ah. my beloved !' he cried, fer vently, "I am not rich in this world'si goods, nor am I elevel- as some men -are. But if a tender and everlasting 1love g<oes for anything f "It goes with me. all right,'' she in Sterrupted. "'But, .John I 'm afraid it 1 won 't go with the b)utcher. ''-Cleve - land Leader.
