RETURNING BATTLE FLAGS. Pile Spirit Shown Toward Confed erate Sentiment. A year ago this month dongress adopted the joint resolution authoriz ing the secretary of war to return the Confederate and Union battle flags that in the custody of the war de partment to organization that had fought under them. As soon as the resolution was approved the depart ment began its work, and by the end of_June all the flags that could be identified had been distributed, the governors of the states receiving them from-the Federal authorities. It was found, however, that 288 Confeder ate flags and 164 Union flags were lef in the department, it being im p4*sible to tell by what organization they had been carried. The war department decided to transfer the Union flags to the West Point military academy to be kept with, the other relies preserved there. What to do with the Confederate lags was a problem. It was evident that congress and the nation di4, not want them retained by the federal government as trophies, but no cus to'ian had been named to receive them and the secretary of war had no auThority to dispose of them. In his aniual report Major-General Ains w6th, military secretary of the d" partment, suggested that the uniden tified flags should be given into the keeping of one of the Confederate memorial or historical societies to be preserved with the care "that those wlo followed them in battle would be glad to bestow upon them.'" To carry out this. appropriate plan the house committee on military af lairs has reported a resolution au tkrizing the secretary of war to transfer the flags to the Confederate 3Memorial Literary. society of Rich mond. Thus the government will re lieve.itself of the flags, the retention of which was sure to create not a lit the ill feeling among the men who fought under them, and the banners will have a proper resting place in the Confederacy's capital city. There is no opposition to this plan in any quarter, and not the. least interesting feature of the successful movement -for -the return of the flags is the fact *that no prqtest against it has been made in congress or by any influen tial organizati,on or person anywhere. WILL BE CANCEJL.ED. Glass Contracts Will Be Called Off Even Though Legislature Should Not Require It. The dispensary investigating com mission held a meeting . on Friday afternoon in. order to give an audi. enge to the attorneys for the Carolina OGliss company, -says the Columbia State. The attorneys, Messrs. Win. E~ Lyles and F. H. Weston, urged -the committee not to push~ its resolu tien. o have repudiated all outstand ing. contracts between the State 'dis pensary and the glass factory. The .glass factory's represenLtp tives stated thatthey would agree to nearly. all of the recommendations of the "-mimittee as expressed by the resolution, but they asked the oppor *tunity to have the settlements come from themselves voluntary. They would agree to have all accounts with the. dispensary properly audited and would raise no objection to the, pro position to repeal the contracts. The committee has charged no in *tent, it has merely pointed out irregt~ larities, and it was decided last night to suspend the resolution for the pres ~nt. While Mr. Lyon and Mr. Fraser and others were in a committee roomi discussing the matter during a tem porary lull in the proceedings of the house, some papers were placed on the speaker's desk and Mr. Morgan, who was presiding, presented themi to the house. One was Mr. Lyon 's resolution providing for the glass company's dispensary contracts to be abrogated. The resolution was pas sed and ordered sent to the senate. It.was subsequent to this time that the agreement was .reached with refer ence to the conference between the attorneys and the committee. Mr. Lyon tried to get the floor in order to move to reconsider the vote where by the resolution was adopted, but the house. was adjourned before he could make any statement about it. F9llowing is the resolution which was adopted by the house: ''Whereas, it appears that certain contracts for glass have been awarded improperly by the directors of the State dispensary to the Carolina Glass c'ompany; ana "Whereas. eertai n puchas~es of' glass have been made withouf rear<l' to the rights and best interest of the State, therefore be it. "Resolved by the hotse of repres enatives, the senate concurring: * "Seetion 1. That the State boarI 4 directors:5 of the State dispensary be, and it is hereby. required to with draw from the Carolina glass con pany all orders. contracts and awards for glass now outstanding, except so much as may be necessary for not more than 60 days' use and that bids be reopened, advertisements made and notices sent to all glass dealers heretofore doing business with the dispensary and to all other known glass -dealers or glass manufacturers. setting forth the amount, kind and quality of glass to be bought or bid upon; that such bidding and awards thereupon shall be had quarterly and purchases shall be made for only one quarter at a time and shall be con ducted as far as may be practicable as is or may hereafter be provided by law for'the purchase of liquor and wines. "Section 2. That the dispensary in vestigating committee be required to employ an expert accountant or ac countants to check up the- accounts with the Carolina Glass company and that such other persons be employed as may be necessary to aid in check ing up said accounts and examining said contracts and orders." Killed In Spartanburg. Jesse Bush shot and killed James W. Israel in a field on the lands of Mr. Berry Cudd about five miles be yond Spartanburg. near Whitney on Friday morning. It was the result of a serious family trouble. Thursday night the daughter of Bush, about 14 years of age gave birth to a child. It is 'said that Israel was accused of being its father. Tfie Bushes live near Lolo, but last year they lived on the Cudd place, not far from Israel's house. Seeing Israel in a field working this morn ing,,Bush armed with a shotgun and a pistol, approached him and fired three times. twice with the gun and once with the pistol. The gunshot wounds killed Israel. At the time Israel had a hoe in his -hands working, but when command ed to throw up his hands he dropped the hoe. The coroner's inquest was held the verdict being that the de ceased came to his death from a gun shot wound, the gun being in the hands of Jesse Bush. Immediately after the killing, Bush delivered him self to the sheriff. He is in the coun - tv jail. Israel is survived by a wife and two children. He was recently indict ed in the magistrate 's court for hug ging and kissing the wife of his brother-in-law against her consent. The case was compromised. TWO MEN or NEVE. Dramatic Incident of the Siege of Varsovie. It is doubtful if the soldiers of any nation are braver than those of Rus sia. It is related of field Marshall Paskievitch that in the course of the siege of Varsovie, being somewhat discommoded by a hot fire from a cer tain battery, he ordered it to be shel led, but to a purpose. His troops did not seem able to locate the enemy and their shot had no effect. Final ly the field marshall himself gallop ed forward and sternly commanded: ''What imbecile is in. command here?" "I am"asered an officer who approched. "Well, captain, I shall degrade you, since you do not know your business. Your shells have no effect.'' " True, sir, but it is not my fault. The shells do not ignite." "Tell that to others. Don't come trying to fool me with si,eh chaff. You will receive your punishment this evening." The captain coolly took a shell from a pile near by, lit the fuse and, holding it in palms of his hands, pre sented it to the marshal, saying: "See for yourself, sir." The marshall folding his arms across his breast, stood looking at the smoking shell. It was a solemn mo ment. Both men stood motionless, awaiting the result. Finally the fuse burned out, and the captain threw the shell to the ground. "It's true," remarked the marshall turning away to consider other meas ures to silence the enemy's fire. In the evening, instead of punish ment the captain received the cross of the Order of St. Vladimir. It somnet imes happens that when type is set it hatc'hes uut i ronblle.

Maine. an artist named Hatha way. whose studio was located near the steamboat landing, says an ex clange. The character of the transient visit ors which comprised the bulk of travel to that resort was illustrated hy the reply the artist gave to one of his patrons, ,who remarked that probably he found few purhasers of his works. 4 That is so.'' replied Mr. H., with a mournful shake of his head: "the majority of people who come to this place have $2 and a shirt and don't change either while they are here. 000 OCI N'. Crops That CoFVnaC IaeYoYields Per Acre We will convince you that you can "increase your yields per acre" and you won't have to keep it a se cret, either. Read what Messrs. Wherry & Son, of the Magnolia Fruit Farm, Durant, Mise., write: "From two acres of strawberries, on which 1,000 pounds of VirgInta-Carolinla Fertilizers per acre were used. we cleared a profit of $75.00 per acro more than the other 14%~ acres of strawberries which had only 500 pounds of this fertilizer." Thus double the quan tity of these fertilizers on each acre . of any.crop, and.more than doubly ''incresse yor yields per acre. Be I sure/~f uy only V irginla-Caro 1lina ertilizers.
