Major Jenkins was until recently collector of internal revenue, at Co lumbia. A few weeks ago, however, This office was abolished and he was given in its place an appointment as deputy collector at Charleston. It was * while in the discharge of the* duties of this office, which necessitated his; travelling extensively through the; State, that he became ill at Blackville n.'pp'k- ngD - 0Son oi Famous Soldier. Major Jenkins was the eldest son of Ger.. Micah Jenkins, who lost his life at the Battle of the Wilderness in a charge, which has been described as being among the most brilliant and most gallantly executed movements of the sort during the War Between the States. The son inherited the father's martial ardor, and at an early age secured an appointment to the United ? States Military Academy at West Point. Upon his graduation, he was ' assigned to duty in the West, and saw service in the Indian wars, being wounded in the course of the operations against the redskins. He was promoted for gallantry in action, but shortly afterwards resigned from the ' army and became a teacher at a militory school at Warrenton, Va. Later he returned to the family plantation on Yonge's Island, in this State, and was there living the life of a planter when the war with Spain broke out. Captain of "Silk Stockings." Leonard Wood, who knew Mr. Jen kins well, and who was acquainted with his abilities as a soldier, urged him to join the Rough Rider regiment, then being organized for active service against the Spaniards. .This the South * Carolinian did, and he was appointed by Col. Theodore Roosevelt, commanding the regiment to be captain of Troop K.

Jenkins distinguished himself at the battle of San Juan Hill, winning the highest praise for his gallantry in action and his coolness on the field of "battle. In recognition of r his gallantry and merit he was promoted and given the rank of major. He was also presented by Col. Roosevelt with a medal of honor as a testimonial to his bravery in battle.

Greenville, Oct. 18.?It is believec here that the assertion may b? safely ventured that Greenville is the only city in existence, certainly on this continent, that has had a citizen called from the avocation of barber to a professorsip of Latin in a college or university. In M84 S. A. Poetz came to Greenville from the Black Forest region ol Germany, soon after the arrival in this city of Prof. Adolf VonFingerlin, whc taught at one time in Furman university. Prof. VonFingerlin is now in California, and he has called ilr. Poetz tc join him in his university work there, knowing him even as a young man tc have been proficient in Latin. S. A. Poetz was the first white barber to open for business in Grenville and probably the first in South Carolina. As a young man he came to this city and for years in his leisure he has pursued his linguistic studies, until now at the age of 40 he is said to be one of the most proficient men in Latin in this country. During his citizenship here he gained the confidence of everyone. GATE LIFE FOR UXKXOWX GIRL. "?wsy" Who Gare Skin to Sare Burned Girl is Dead.
