Recent Fire Recall* Blase Started by '
Confederates to Stop Sherman .
(iaffney, Dec. 8,? 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.
Col. John P. Thomas whs in com
mand. Col. Thomas will be remem
bered as one of the South's greatest
educators. He later conducted with 1
great success the Carolina Military
Institute at Charlotte, N. C., in a
building in tin?, third ward, which is
now used as a graded school build
ing.
Gen. E. M. Law was at that time
provost general of Columbia. He
Tiad been~\vounded ahd was carrying
one arm in a sling at the time when
a drunken camp follower, who had
stolen a roll of leather from a store,
and about fifty companions, came
riding down the street and faced the
cadets and threatened to ride through
their ranks. 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.
Prof. .Samr- However, was unfo!
tnnate in thi> -nstance, as the arsc
ral in wh:ch was his library was de
stroyed by fi-e
Although ?? i r)> sixty-one years
have elapsed since this occurrence,
Pr;-f. Sam's recollection of the e\ents
are vtry vivid, showing thai, time
has, not affected his memory. He
h now in his eighty-fifth yea?\ \t
that time he was about twenty-four
years of age. He had been married
about nine months and his young
wife bravely shared "with him the
times of trouble.
Negro Shocked To Death.
Trenton, Dec*. 7. ? John Key, a negro
from Edgefield, came to T. P. Slater's
jnilLi? have corn ground. He received
his meal and started home. Later Mr.
Slater noticed him lying some dis
tance away and went to see what was
the matter and found the negro dead.
He had grasped a live wire lying
across his path. His fingers ? burned
off ? lay on the ground. Mr. Slater
was shocked by the wire but not ?e
riously.

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. "B#t, oh, how soon he would
find himself in somebody's roaster
or adorning the Sunday-go-to-meeting
hat of some fat, provincial lady!
''The great wild beasts, though they
live in glorious freedom, suffer.
Lions, leopards, tigers, elephants,
eagles, have a hard life and a con
stant search "for food, and many of
them are destiued for the lead of the
human ? or inhuman ? hunter's rifle.
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. That is the hippo. 1 1 *? can
spend his life in philosophic calm,
live it out to the end, and grow to be
a couple of .centuries old ? so at least
learned men say." ? Living Age.
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. ^
