Jonntlinn tGohle, nil American missionary in Japnti wrote tlins: i "Most popular writers have classed the Japanese people as Mongolians, our recent diseoyc-ry in ancient ! philology tinus the language still in use in Japan, through Siberia j and intervening counties to Ha-j inathin iSyria. proving that the j Japanese, without doubt, are of the same race as the sons of Hetli, with wlioin Abraham bargained for the bmial place." If the Japanese lire Hittites, then they are descended from a* cultured and warlike nation that dUO ) years ago lived in Syria, and t in thp valley of Euphrates .warring frequently with Hip Assyrians, their hitter pnemies.

Tho State, in reviewing the Iobsoh sustained by the Russian army j in 1 he Held, Bays: To the casual reader it seems that the Russians are losing an | unusually large number of officers of high rank. Lieut. Gen. Count Kellnr was killed in a recent." but t It*, Admiral Alakarotf whh blown up in a battleship and Lieut. (Jen. Stoessel has either been killed in action or has committed suicide in despondency. Other generals 'of lesser rank have been reported wounded or killed. The New Orleans Picayune gives a list uf 52 general officers of the Confederate army who were killed in the War Between the war between the Sections. One of these was a general of the highest rank and commander-in-chief, Albert Sidney Johnston, who fell at Shiluh. Three lieutenant generals were killed in aetion?Leqnidas Polk. Stonewall Jackson and A. P. Hill. There were killed eight major generals and forty brigadier generals. In the battle of Gettysburg alone, where the Confederate losses were so heavy, live general otficers were killed?Maj. Gei>,_ Pender 'and Brigadiers Annstond, Barksdale, Garnett and Semtnes. In the wilderness four generals foil? j Brig. Gens. Jenkins,'J. M. Jones,! Stafford and Terrill. Five lost j their lives in the siege of Petersburg?Lieut. Gen. A. P. Hill, Brigadiers Elliott, Girardey, Gracie and John Gregg. Pea Ridge cnu' t III* KUM fif lllfOJ Tt r I I 1 II /I I La l*u MeCullough, Mcintosh and Slack. Franklin took off four Adams. Carter, Gist and Strahl; and Sharpsonrg 3? Anderson, luumh and Starke. In other battles two general officers in each were lost, and in others one each. The Confederates fought great odds and they fought desperately, both officers and men. The officers never told their men to go where they would not go themselves; they were lenders in every sense of the word, and the most of them won their stars by gallantry on the tield of battle. Few escaped bei:ig wounded more than once and the records show that many of them led their brave men into the very jaws of dentil. Even General Lee was more than once lt*(| from the scene of danger by those who realized better than he (1 id thaf his place was at the rear and not on the tiring line in battle. ?- ? ?

Upon reaching Charlotte, Bennett, with Iti-t friends, went t<> i a bur, where each drank a ^lans of beer. The crowd left the bar and, , according to the statement of a I member of the party, the ^las.s of j beer was all that Bennett drank up to 0 o'clock. At this hour the idfai^ortunnte younj^ man becutni' Jseparaxed^^tTt-diis friends and they knew nfltluii/K more of him I until after his de*^ : Immediately nfLr the accident, Bennett s lifeless form was carried to the undertaking establishment : of -I.

The body remained the undertaker's hIiiiD until nftur fliw jnnii?>ut Sii.i day, at which the street car people were exonerated of all blame. The circumstances uUending the young ninu'6 death, as developed at the inquest, were that Bennett, together with a man | named Oztnient, boarded a car at the square and went out to Lattal Park.' While there Ozment lost i sight of Bennett, and, the latter, after remaining at the park a short time, decided to return to the city. Acting accordingly, lie boarded a car, the conductor of which was. J. Al. Cox. After the car had gone several blocks Bennett asKed the conductor to stop the car, saythat Ijo desired to go back to tho park jlo see a party. Co?, testified on tl/e stand that when Bennett left }iis car lie was so drunk lie ( Bennett) could liardly walk. US ,i-.i ..... ...... a ...: j uIU, not oi:u UUUIICIl (lllj 11 Id I 'p. D.

IV fore the coroner's jury Crump testified as follows: "We were going to the park and had left sqaro at 11*127. As we approached the boulevard I slowed up to make the turn. Then I went ' on till 1 turned down the grade to 1 I ?P ! ???' m'necoc I'at .1 clid Avenue. The ear was coasting along. We had a light on b fore, and there was a light, a city light, on the nide of the track. The upright pieces of the lamp cast a shadow about 3 feet wide and 1 don't know how long. The man was in the shadow1, with hi* head and shoulders o\v the left *ail jyntT his Vibdy in the space between the double tracks. I did not see bin) till the fender was right over him. I plied the brake and stopped the car within 3(5 feet, Powell, the I conductor, and myself went back. We did not hardly know what to do. He asked me if I would slay until he went to a telephone, f told him 1 could not do it. The man did not move or make any sort of noise after he was struck. We did not touch him. Intelligence of Mr. JBonneti's death reached Fort Mill early Sunday and a number of his Kinsmen left on tho morning train for : Charlotte. The corpse was brought to Fort Mill at 10:30 Sunday night and taken to the home of Mr, W. T. Hoagland, brother-in-law of the ; deceased. Tho funeral service, conducted by Rev. J, C.
