The Gaffney Led ger Issued today Kays: The burning of tho covered bridge at Columbiu last Sunday night re calls to the memory of Prof, R, Q. .Sams, of Gaffney, the burning of tho stiucture at the sam site on Febru ary 16, 1805, by the Confederates in an ,effort to prevent Sherman's army from entering Columbia. At that time Prpf, Sams was teach ing at the Arsenal Academy of the South Carolina Military Academy. Prof. Sams was a lieutenant and had under him a detachment of about twenty-five men. He was Ordered to guard this bridge. 'Later a super ior officer . came down and ordered fire to be set to the structure lo pre vent the entrance of Sherman's army inta Columbia^ Prof. Sams is not quite certain now that this was the proper course to pursue. He entertains the opinion that the burning of the bridge in censed Sherman and his, arrfiy and caused them to* commit greater depre dations than they otherwise would have committed had they been per mitted to enter the city unmolested. The burning of the bridge served only to delay the advance of Sher man's army two or three hours. They simply went upstream about a mile o* two and put down a pontoon bridge and went on over. All the while the Federal army kept up an incessant fire, on Columbia. The scars of that attack may still be observed on the cast .end 'of the state house, where ?several shots struck. Prof. Sams and his men were or dered down on Main street to pro tect the stores from the pillaging of the Yankee soldiers, The * streets were thronged with camp followers, many of whom indulged in rum ex cessively.

Gen. Law caught the fellow with his good hand, jerked him off the horse, and turned him over to officers who put him into the guardhouse. The courage of this brave man put an end to the rioting. Sherman's army kept advancing and the cadets were ordered to re treat, which they did, and Sherma* took possession of the town that night.

K 1 >r(t oU # Hippo To Be Envied An unnamed explorer is quoted in the Berliner Tageblatt as speculating on the relative happiness of men and hippopotamuses. Other animals, it appeal s, have their troubles. "Many a belitfver in the transmi gration of souls might like to be a magnificent,bird of paradise flutter ing from twig to twig in the tropic heavens when he returns to earth," he says.

Let us say nothing of the slavery of domestic animals, which are eaten in return for their services to.,men. "There is only one free and for tunate beast, whom man leaves in peace because his skin is useless, his flesh repulsive, and hunting him dan gerous.

Best Reason of AU Four editors frpm the four points of .the compass, all strangers, hap pened to gather one night in the same isleeping-car smoke den. After getr ting acquainted all around and set tling all the national and internation al problems of today, the conversa tion somehow drifted to marriage. The eastern nfcle editor said that :t man out West got himself int'9 trouble by marrying two wives. The western public molder replied by as suring his contemporary that a good many men in that section have done the same thing by marrying one.' The northern champion of the people's rights reported that quite a number of his acquaintances found trouble by merely promising to marry, and going no further. Then the southerner closcd the formk,and put the paper to bed by telling about a friend of his who got in mighty bad by simply being found in company with another man's wife. ^ LaiicuiSU'r "fiountv .turkey growers sent a carload of this Thanksgiving food to the Northern markets recent ly, this being the second car load to be shipped from Lancaster.
