(4.) On March 23, 1 Rev.
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.
Afojreoyer, if the Russians nre
the Assyrians (as some think ) then
t he present war between Russia j
iind J ape 11 is 1 >111 the renewal of a
. tiuht unto death that took place ill
Western Asia nearly ii(KX) yenrp
n^o, hi d which resulted in the
thitib-a bein^ driven from their
own laud into the laud of the Sutii
isinij.
Does Revelations, l(i:R}, refer to
the Japanese; and wiU tue (inal
result of this war be thnt those
Jlittites long banished front the
fineestfal lioirje. shall return to the
and of their fathers with tflad
heatts and triumphant son^s?
If God does restore the old
homestead to those rods of Heth,
who were only t ho friends of Abraham;
is not much mqre certain
that He will restore to the children
of /^hrahant (l^nt "B[oly J^and"
of which .Jerusalem was the centrp

A Comparison of Losses.
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.
?- ? ?
Pat an End to it All.
A grievous wail of times comes as a
result of unbearable paiu from over
taxed organs. Dizziness, Backuch, Liver
complaint aiul constipation, But
thanks to Dr. King's New Life Pills
they put an end to it all, Thqy are gentle
but thorough. Try thom. Only Wo.

DEATH OF R. SIMON BENNETT.
A Fort Mill Yonng Man Meets Death
On the Car Tracks of Charlotte,
IV!i\ K. Siiuon .Bennett, who
with several frionchs went to Cluirlotte.on
the afternoon txnin Saturday,
was struck and instantly
killed by an electric car ?->f the
iC's co,uipany about 12 o'clock
Saturday ni^ht. The killing Itanp*
ned at a poii.it near Lattn Park.
mihi rroin 111 h evidence product u
at the inquest it sot-inn that
liis dontli was the result of his
lntviji^ beeome thoroughly intoxicated
and unable to dni;^ himself
from ilie car tracks upon which
ho had fallen.
Before leaving Fort Mill Satur
day Bonnet, it is said, told u
. friend that he was iroinir to Char
, lotte to net him a little whiskey its
he had had none in some time.
He had only a small amount of

hero. 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. M. Harry & <. where a
1 post mortem examination led
; the fact that he had been strueN
I on the left side and that a leu and
I and arm were broken and his bodv
terribly bruised^ It was evident
i that Bennett lived only a few sec'
onds after the car sru.-k him. 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

'p. D. Crump, inotormnn of the
car which struck Bennett and the
orily eye-witness to tne' killing, in
well known here, having for sortie
t/imo worked at the Catawba Powi'V
Company's plant, on Catawba
/river, and later at the MiIIfort mill
[in tKis place, lie was persona vl
acquainted with llemiett, and upon
discovering that the ear had
struck and killed his friend, ho
was almost hoai t-broKen. 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. Chandler, 1
was held Monday morning at 10 ,
