About two weeks ago we sent out statements to all of our subscribers wh > are as much as one- year behind. Some have renewed their subscriptions (for which we wish to thank them). while some others haye appar ently paid rio attention to the notices. We hope every one will renew before next week, as we will be compelled to cut off all who do not. We do not send The Sentinel to any one who does not authorize us to, and when their subscription ex pires we expect pay for it. We are trying to improve The Sentinel all the time, but, if it does not suit you and you wish it discontinued, we will not fall out with you about that. All that we ask is that you pay up your subscription; and we will be glad to have all renew. If you think there is a mis take in your statement let us know and we will take pleasure in straightening it out. We will not cut off any body who has not received a notice. Gov.

Address ." Dr. : Earl S. Sloan Boston, Mai. George Wasi By Mrs. C. When the war tocsin sound ed in 1861, there was a strong healthy lad just 21 years old, who lived at Piercetown, in Anderson county, who gladly left his home and joined thej army. He entered Evans' bri Bade under General LMe. His %:t move was to organize a regiient at camp Hampton, four miles below Columbia. They immediately moved on to* James Island. Stopping there for a brief period, longing for the taste of battle. They wvent onl to Richmond where that taste was soon gratified. The first battle that he was in, was at Frazer's farm near Rich mond. He was a little nervous in this battle, but soon grew ac customed to fighting. These, were the days when our men were nearly always victorious. After this he was in battles up on battles. One of the hardest was that of Manassas, there was an awful conflict, lasting nearly all of one hot day. The yankees were driven back into Washington, and there was re jocing in the south. The Fed eral army reached Malvern Hill, twelve miles below Richmond on the 1st day of July. Their position was protected by Fed eral gunboats on the river. Early on the morning of July, 1st. the whole Confederate army rshed forward to the assault. IAll day long the furious strug gle continued, but not decisive. For seven long, hot days the battle wvent on, andl at last the victory was claimed by the Yankees. No such dreadful scene had been enacted on the American continent. The bat tle ended the great campaign of '62. The Federals had lost num bers of their men, and the Con ederates still held Richmond. Our hero had been with ackson, who marched through ?ennsylvania then on back to Virginia. He was sent to guard the trenthes near Peters urg. These trenches were dug on a hillside and were about ten feet deeu. With others he staid on guard eight months and was at one of the port holes when the awful "blow-up" hap pened. He was crushed by the earth and his body badly bruis ed. For a long month dead bodies of men were dug out of the trenches. The Yankees Ead 3 regiments of dIrunken negros in their front when they ae the charge. Capt. Ben Martin came to l)orr's rescuie and carried him to a hospijtal at Goldsboro where e e.laineid for six wveeks. That afternoo~n t he Confederates1 rallied and helud Petersburg, tve Pup' 7HATM6&"Y x //A Guard Against Cotton Anthrac nose - -North Carolina reader says: "low long will the disease of cotson, called anthracnose, or hol! rot, remain in the soil? Can I safely plant land adjoin ing that on which the cotton was diseased last year, or will it be necessary to leave a strip of land between where the diseased cotton grew last year and where I plant this year' Another reader asks if he can treat cotton seed with anything to prevent the recurrence of the disease this year. Authracnose does not appear to be a disease of the soil but is carried in the seed, and land where the cotton was diseased last year may be again planted to cotton this year without danger of the disease, if seed free from the disease are used. No method of treating infect ed seed has yet been found ef fected. The only safety lies in planting seed from cotton that was free from the disease last year. Some varieties appear more resistant to the disease than others, or at least, some ,varieties seem to suffer more than others. If a mavn has a variety which is diseased, that he wishes to keep because of its other good qualities, he can probably ob tain a resistant strain, or at least one fairly free from the disease, by carefully selecting seed for planting for several years from plants that show absolutely no trace of the dis ease.-Tait Butler in Progres sive Farmer. iington Dorr E.

There were 1.300 men on gu:.rd and after the blow up r 44 answered After six weeks in the hospit al, Mr. Dorr went back to join his old regiment at Petersburg After this he was sent to Sulli vans Island to guard Fort Sumter, where he staid until the last cannon fell fro'm the parapet. Then he wvent on t c Jacksonville where he formed a line of battle and went right after the Yankees, making be lieve they were a great army, and captured them and sent them to prison. Then they went back to Charleston. Dur ing those four years he was in nine states, from Missipsippi to Pennsylvania. Young and full of life he did not fear the Yran kees or ever think they would defeat our brave soldiers. Once he was sent to Big Black river in Miss., where they found the enemy so strong they knew they would be captured, so turning, they retraced their steps, marching forty miles in one day. This was the hardest day's marching they had ever done. Think of walking forty miles in August and never stop ging, no dinner and rarely a drink of water. Some of the men drank out of horse tracks when they passed low places in the road, but were not allowed time to pause. When night came on they were so worn out and tired they did not mind the rain for sleeping, but quietly ulled their caps over their faces and slept a dreamless sleep. There were some who took a chunk of wood for a pillow. This was one of the h-irdest marches our hero had known. They marched on by Mobile to Charleston, fighting where ever they met the enemy. At last they went back to Virginia. Our hero was a young man with a young man's dreams and hopes, and it was only three months before the surren ler that he gaye up. lie was with Lee at the surrender and had not been home once during the four years. His form is aow growing very feeble and :he frosts of seventy winters are whitening his head.

Sister Jones was devoted to her Saviour. She was one ~of the shining lights in Griffin church, ready to do what she could for the promotion of her master's cause. She was a good neighbor, ready and will ing to help the needy and to visit and minister to the sick. She has built for herself a b3monument more durable than eperishable material and more precious than polished marble. She was taken sick about five months before her death. She bore her sickness with christian courage and fortitude. She said she was prepared to die and was going to her heavenly home where she would be freed from suffering. Her funeral services were conducted by the writer, and the large congraga tion that attended shows how sh was esteemed and respected by all who knew her. To say she had no faults would be say ing she was not human, but her virtures so overshadowed her errors that they were lost sight of in reviewing and ad miring her many noble christ ian graces. Her body sleeps in tegrave at Griffin church to await the resurrection of the jut, and her spirit has gone to be with her Saviour in paradise, which is heaven to her soul. Conscious of our weakness and inability to do justice to the subject of this sketch in giving a brief biography of her life, yet we feel it due her. So please overlook my errors and magnify her virtures. In con clusion we dedicate to her mem ory the following lines.
