LAST SHOTS OF TI1F WAU The War Between the States began j i and ended in South Carolina. His- j torians tell us about the Citadel cadets firing upbn the Star of the West as she steamed into Charleston har- I bor, April 12, 1861, bringing supplies oC war to the Federal garrison at Fort Sumter, writes Mrs. J. R. Vandiver in the Greenville News. They also tell of later attempts upon Charleston from the sea, and of the gallant defense, but no history has told j of the last shot fired in the war, because It took place away off from tfye seat of war in a section which, though it sent many soldiers to the front, had escaped the actual fighting. It was in Anderson county en thej first day of May, 186"). A body of Arsenal cadets commanded by Col. Thomas had been defending some fortifications above ureenvme, ana \ there was in Greenville a military J company which hau been organized j to guard life and property. Capt. A. j D. Hoke, of the "Butler Guards, its captain. Dr. John A. Broadus, afterward a prominent Baptist preacher, j and W. F. Price, a member of the South Carolina Legislature, were its i lieutenants. Mr. Price had opened the State Armory in Greenville and equipped the company with arms. On account cf this act, which might bring down vengeance on his head, Mr. Price, at i* i approach of a Federal company from North Carolina, left the , city, accompanied by a small party of civilians, all armed. They soon overI took the Arsenal company, which was! also retreating before the advancing! enemy, and the two united. They 1 traveled the highway between Green- | ville and Anderson. They camped | near the home of Mr. William E?j Long, northwest of Piedmont, and 1 stacked their arms near a well and, j being very tired threw themselves j, upon the ground to ? rest, many of; them falling asleep at once. j Coming from Pickens on that same ! roaa was a puny iu l aiiKt-e cu.vu.nyj on its way to destroy a bridge over i the Saluda river just below Piedmont,,' also in search of horses. Fearing no J danger they came yelling and firing | pistols, awakening the sleeping Con- j federates. A lew uf the younger Ar! ASPIRIN i Name "Bayer" on Genuine j | I lie ware!

Handy tin boxes of twelve Payer Tablets of Aspirin eost few cents. Druggists also sell larger packages. Aspirin is the trade mark of Bayer Manufacture of Monoacetieacidcster of Salieylieacid. i ; senal boys in their sudden alarm ran | away, leaving their guns. The great! er part, however, stood their ground i and lired such a continued volley into the approaching party, not having to I stop and reload because as their j charges were exhausted they threw aside their own guns and picked up ! i those abandoned bv the fleeing eai I dets, that the Federals retreated j .turning into the White Plains road land were soon out of sight, giving up I their plan of burning the bridge. They left behind them one m;in badly wounded, who would have been dispatched by the maddened boys except that some <>f the women of the community came upon the scene, begging for his life. One of them. Mrs. Moore, took him into her home, where he was carefully nursed until he was able to be carried to a hospital in Greenville. .Among the Confederate party was a young man named Paul Allen, a Charlestonian. who it is said, fired the first shot at the Star of the "West, having been a Citadel cadet at the time, and, who just to complete his record, in a satisfactory manner, fired the last shot at the retreating Federal cavalry in the final skirmish on the lonely road away off in Anderson county, ending all he had begun, one of the greatest wars in all history. The following boys, who were or have been citizens of Anderson county took part in this final skirmish: James P. Dean. D . S. McCullough, F. A. Silcox. J. if. Lewis, G. W. Sullivan, and E. A. -Smyth. The last three named are still li\ing. In this skirmish James Spearman, of Newberry, was slightly wounded in the hand by a slug fired from a shotirilll in fhp Tmnrfs of u npwrn renin wVir> was piloting the Yankees. The Monaghan cotton mill, at Greenville, now occupies the spot where the old armory stood. The skirmish spoken of above was between the old residence of Mr. William Long and the John King place, about two miles out from Piedmont. SOUTH CAROLINA RANKS FOURTH NUMBER BLIND Atlanta. Ca., May l.J.?In the State of South Carolina live 1101 of the 57,2*2 blind people of the United States, according to figures given on; by the Southern Headquarters of th> Committee for Lighthouses for tie Blind here today. South Caroli.t. ranks twenty-fourth among the 4;i states listed according to blind persons per 100,000 population and o the above number. 280 are white an 024 negroes: 2S<) of the whites an native horn and 0 foreign born. Th" statistics show that there are now 8". Wind persons being cared for in South Carolina institutions. The Committee for Lighthouses fo. the Blind of which President Warren G. Harding is honorary chairman, \val'ounded in New York 15 years ago by Miss Winifred Holt. Several "Lighthouses" as they are called? places of instruction for blind persons f /-, Klo t V? t /k unl . n' uxiai/ic iitciii i*/ uc\ v/uic ocu-ouj;* porting and to provide broadei\ and more remunerative fields of labor? were- established at that time under Miss Holt's direction. They proved so successful that now lighthouses are functioning in Italy and France. Plans are now under way for extending the United States so that blind people everywhere will be assisted. Sponsored and supported bv some of the greatest national lights in tinance, industry and politics, the Committee is about to launch an American appeal for $2,000,000 with which to broaden and extend the scope of its work at home. Contributions may be addressed to He wis L. Clarke, Treasurer, Committee for Lighthouses for the Blind,- 111 East. Fifty-ninth Street, New York City. Among other interesting data contained in the Committee's statement regarding the blind is the fact that of 20.242 eases investigated in this country, 1000 of that number were born without sight and of these. TOO were the offspring of parents who wedded Jirst eousins. Of the total blind population in America. 7!)Ti> are earning their own living: '1783 are white and 1103 negroes. The above figures include all sightless persons actually making their own way independent ?>:" others, whose vocations vary from that of agriculturalist to store clerk and clergyman. ^ 4 |i ? Mother Knew A minister's son was playing outside the parsonage when one of the parishioners passed. He had heard that the boy's father had been "called" to a western city. "Has your father accepted the call?" "1 don't, know anything about that." said the boy. "When* is your father?" asked the parishioner. "Oh, pa." said the bov, "is upstairs praying1 for light, but nut is packing the furniture." J SLACKER S MOTHER *tXST PAY $7,000 ! i Or Serve One Year in Atlanta Penitentiary Philadelphia, May 17.?Mrs. EmJ ma O. Bergdoll was today sentenced I to pay a fine of $7,000 for the part I .she was convicted of having taken in j the evasion of the draft laws by her | sons, Grover and Erwin Bergdoll. Ii ! she refuses or fails to pay the fine, Judge Dickinson, of the United States district court, imposed the alternaj tive sentence of one year and one ' day in the federal penitentiary at Ati . lanta, Oa. Her fine must bo paid by I June 13. j A 1 i 1<? fine, with the same alterna[ tive. was imposed upon two of her ! co-defendants in the conspiracy case, j One was her son. Charles F. Braun, who changed his namt because of the j notoriety achieved by his brothers, and the other her life-long friend and ( counselor. .Tames E. Homig. The two other defendants. Albert Mitchell and Harry Sehuh. were fined $1,000 each, with the alternative of spending six months in the Mercer county jail at Trenton. X. J. ! Counsel for the defendants immediately filed for formal appeal from the sentence. This action, the clerk i of the court explained, was for the j purpose of staying execution of the j sentence, as otherwise the defendants would have boon sent to jail immediately. Judge Dickinson, in pronouncing sentence upon Mrs. Bergdoll. declared there was no way of ascertaining: how much of her guilt was the act "of a fond and foolish mother,', and, while her motive did not affect her guilt, it might mitigate the punishment. Her greatest punishment, he added,' would be the thought that her sons had brought disgrace' upon her. o one would wish to see a mother sent to jail for merely helping her sons, guilty as they were, he said. j In sentencing Homing, who is 70 years old. Judge Dickinson said his only claim to leniency was his age. He censured the former city magistrate in blunt terms. Braun's mo: tivesl. Judge Dickinson said, htfd perhaps been the1 best of any of the defendants, and he did not consider it just to punish him more severlv than the others. He pointed out that the jury had recommended mercy in the case of' .Mitchell and Schuh. Says She Won't Pay. ; As she walked out of the court room, Mrs. Bergdoll turned to newspaper men and said: "Never will 1 pay a line. Perhaps I ; shall go to jail.' Maybe I'd be better ; off so." I The five defendants released in 1 $10.000 bail each ending an appeal. Thought He Was "Joshed" i When Prof. Sir Walter Raleigh i was asked to lecture at Princeton College recently, Prof. Root went down to the station to meet the distinguished visitor. Prof. Root did not know Prof. Raleigh, but walking up to a man he thought looked like him, J he said: "I beg your pardon, but am I addressing Sir Walter Raleigh?" The man looked at him for a moment and, thinking he must be crazy, replied: "No. I am Christopher Columbus, j Walter Raleigh is in the smoking I room with Queen Elizabeth." i I !

I i STATE SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION NEXT WEEK ! lieports received from all over the ; State, it is said, point to a record breaking attendance at the Sta-te Sunday School Association Convention at Winthrop College, Hook Hill, June 8, 0. 10. It is said that the program is the strongest and most attractive in the history of the organization, and with the added attractiveness of VVinthrop College as the place of meeting, the attendance is expected to go beyond all previous records. A thorough organization has been | perfected by the Convention Promotion committee in nearly every county in the State and hundreds of men and ! women are busy working up a large delegation from their respective com1 munities. Especial attention is called to the fact that the special railroad rates of one and half fare for the round trip are on the certificate plan, conditional upon 350 certificates being presented for signature at the convention: consequently everyone coming to the convention is urged to get ^ his certificate when he buys his ticket as he cannot otherwise get the benefit of half fare returning.
