"Home again! Home again"

Ami it lilis my heart with joy
To greet (ny friends nnee more."
Wo ask space in your popular
journal to chronicle our appr?cia
tion and indebtedness td that big
hearted Scotchman Col A J Math
eson for tho many courtesies shown
usduringhis extended trip across
the water, covering a period of
several month.s, which incorpora
ted, in its itinerary, the most
prominent and attractive countries
of ancient and modern history.
What a proud privilege il was to
I take ibis outing with the compan
ionship of bis devoted wife, his
lovely daughter and the channing,
cultured Miss Theodosia dones ol
.Marion, daughter of that elegant
gentleman, now deceased, Mr Fred
doues. A holy as sweet in dispo
sition ns the breath ol'new blowi
violets and gentle in manner a
summer evening's latest sigh that
shuts thc rose. The trip was oiu
ol'unalloyed pleasure, figuratively
speaking, ab ovo ad milhun. Even
day seemed to give emphasis t<
tho joy of tho preceding ono. Th;
ecstatic experience could reeeiv?
no further impetus however, aftei
they reached Egypt and saw tin
wonderful Nile with its massiv?
dams submerging some of tin
richest treasures of bygone conto
rios, the Unrivalled fertility of it
soil, the majestic pyramaids, iron
whose giddy heights, Napolcoi
told his soldiers centuries lookci
down on them, but crowning ant
adumbrating all of this m agni li
cence, was tho excavations now bc
ing made, revealing tombs tba
give impregnable corroboration t
the enunciations of Holy Writ.
NV hat a rich legacy the lifo o
such a man as A J Matheson is ',.
his contemporaries and to poste j i
ty. Starting in life in obscurity
he has, through indomitable wi
power, inflexible integrity an
phenomenal business capacity ai
cumulated a massive fortune, anc
in his conflict with tho business c
life he has not been made avar
Cious, narrow minded, or contrai
ted in his views, but is free froi
the dross of selfishness and wai
of philanthropy, which seem I
be inevitably associated with n
insatiable greed for money. IV
Matheson has had sense enough I
make money and sense enough I
enjoy it. His return to his si
porb home was an ovation. Ever;
body was glad to see him bai
and so much improved physical!;
1 le has d o ti o so much f<
Bcnnettsville and did it so wei
that he will leave behind him wllC
he is called up higher, a memoi
redolent of tho fragrance of sprit
time to all succeeding generation
His absence from home, even U
a summer vacation is felt as a re
calamity.
The most highly prized of tl
souvenirs he sent the writer is tl
one from Glascow, a city now i
800,000 souls. This is a post
card, on which is depicted,
vividly, the plaid of the Mclnty

a few years ho married the sist
of Judge Graham of North Cai
lina. A most estimable lady. S
and her infant died, the seco;
year ol' their marriage. My fath
was so devoted to her that he liv
single ten years. Then he marri
a widow, Mrs Dougherty who
husband had been an artist of eel
brity andlo?nted in Columbia.' All
of his studies show that ho had no
supeior in his profession. My
motlier hud no children in this
marriage to Mr Dougherty, Mrs'
Dougherty was ti daughter of Col !
Richard Howard, a wealthy Kn-j
? glishmnn, on the staff Of Light ?
Horse Harry Lee- Din ing the
war, in passing through tho Jeffr
ies Creek section, now Florence
county, bc became .so'enamored Of
the conn.ry, that after the war, ho j
sold his Virginia property and
bought thousands of acres of this
Jeffries Creek hind where he lived
until tho eloise of his life. Col R
G Howard, whose photo with a
biographical sketch appeared in
the Confederate V?t?ran some- !
time ago, ti man ol conspicuous
personal beauty, fascinating man
ners and pronounced magnetism, a
senator ol his county for many
years, was n grand-son bl Col R
Howard. Another grand-ion, Maj
John C McClonaglian, one pf thc
most brilliant young mon the state
ever produced died of hemorhnge
in tho Charleston hotel, near thu
end ol' the war. Ills death was
deeply lamented.
My lather (.lied while 1 was.a
student at Mount Zion college.
Through a remarkable coincidence,
my room mate, in thc same mail
thai brought tho sad intelligence
o' nly fa: lier's death also brought
the intelligence ? f the death ol'Ins
grand father, who was really the
only father he over know, as his
father died while he was an infant. .
My mother, in har widowhood,
sent live sons to battle for their
country. Of these Capt George j
lost an arm at Fredricksburg, Capt
Duncan one of nis lungs, he 'e
turncd and was badly wounded in
the thigh, the writer an arm at tho i
seige of Charleston. Sergeant Joe
reported killed at Petersburg, was j
desperately wounded and captured
but returned two years after tho
war, Capt Archibald named for his
father, was killed in tho sanguin
ary battle of Sharpsburg. He was
a graduate of Princeton and a law-'
yoi with a brilliant future, though
not yet 21. We never recovered
his body. How sad thc reflection.
A grave In thc woods grass,overgrown
A grave in the heart of his mother
His clay in thc one lies lifeless and lone
'There is not a name,there is not a stone
And only th* voice ol' tho wind ma
le c. th moan
over the grave, where never a
flower is strown
Hut his memory lives in the heart
of the ?thor.

SOME FINE CORN
W. M. De ss of Brownsville Ex
pects to Make 150 Bushels ort
an Acre.
VV Martin Dees of Brownsville
lins one of the finest aeres of corn
in the county.
Last spring, Mr Doos and FD
Graham happened to get into an
argument as to tho proper width
of corn rows to make tko most.
Mr Doos contended that tho rows i
should alternate in width, one j
middle hoing six foot and the next
ono foot. Mr Graham thought j
that it would ho best to have all of
thom four feet. They agreed that I
each should plantan acre according
to his own plan and soo which j
would make tho most.
Mr I >ees has lo,000 stalks on
his acre, lt, looks nov like ho will)
average a good car to each stalk,
and will get al least 150 bushels
from thc acre. Mr Graham's corn
is also very line, Iud Mr Does
seems, at present, lo have a little
the advantage.
Mr Does' corn is planted similar
io the famous acre in Ked 1 lill on |
winch Capt. 7. ,1 Drake broke tho
world's record.
