ETTA JANE.
(Correspondence of The Ledger.)
Etta Jam:, December 2i.—Mr.
Gecr}»e 15. Estes, of Ilrookston, le.\as.
arrived at the home of his parents
last night on a thirty (lays v.sit to
the scenes of his youth. He moved
west with his family live years ago
and speaks in highest terms of his
a lopted home.
One of our dogs left home one
night last week under circumstances
that had us to believe he had hydro
phobia. We are glad to know that
]\lr. Gibbs Wilkins killed it last
Monday morning. We suppose a
general dog killing will take place in
the neighborhood.
These still mornings we can hear
the five o'clock whistle at the Union
cotton mill—a distance of twenty-two
miles by public road and about eight-
teen miles Air Line.
The Fowler Brothers brought their
gin home last night and will linish
up their work for the season just as
soon as possible.
The warm spell of weather has
made those who have killed large
meat feel a little uneasy about it.
While shut in with rain and mud
we thought we would give The Led
ger a short Christmas letter to keep
up with the times.
The holiday season is unpreceden-
tedlv dull and quiet. 15ut few peo
ple claim to be ready for it.
The last issue of The Ledger is
a daisy. It reflects great credit upon
the management of the paper and is
highly appreciated by its patrons.
Our brother correspondent “‘Led
ger Reader” asks this question:
‘‘Why does Rhode Island sustain two
capitals?” We answer briefly :—Be
cause under the old charter the Leg
islature met alternately at two
places.” Will “Ledger Reader”
please toll us when and where a con
vention was held in a barn, and the
Bible adopted as a Constitution?
Some of our readers will no doubt
be glad to know that the postoffice
department has taken it in hand to
stop “speculative bidding” on mail
routes by attorneys and foreigners.
Next year the mail lettings in this
state takes place.
Several of our people went to Gaff
ney yesterday with cotton.
The rain will keep many of our
people from finishing up wheat sow
ing until after Christmas.
Hon. C. W. Whisonant, member
of the Legislative-elect, will leave for
the State Capitol on the 9th, of next
month.
Miss Bettie Blair will spend the
holidays at her home at Blairsville,
York county—and resume teaching
January the second.
Sam Strain is still sick. He has
been unwell for several days.
A friend sent us a copy of the
Chester Lantern from which we take
the following lines dedicated to the
memory of one of our dearest earthly
friends, and a gallant soldier of the
“Cliester Blues,” Capt. Ed. C. Mc
Clure’s company of the Sixth South
Carolina Regiment, who was killed
at the battle of Drunesville, Va.,
December 20th, 18(>1.
They were written by Rev. Hugh
Strong of the Presbyterian church :
••tVcon not for those
Who sink within the arms of death.
Ere yet tiie chilliii),' wintry hreath
Of sorrow o’er them blows.”
Why sees that father grief bowed bown?
And why that mother weeps'/
A lirst-born son, youtifr James McKeown,
in death’s embrace now sleeps.
A sister weeps beside his grave.
Two youthful brothers mourn.
Their brother fell among the brave.
At life’s bright op’ning morn.
He heard lii.s country “eall to arms.”
Jlis books were iaidaside.
He left ids home with all its charms,
In freedom’s cause he died.
James was my schoolrnaU'Iand my friend;
With grief I saw tiim laid
Where dust with kindred dust must blend
Till time’s great circuit's made.
His country mourns his early fate,
We“ps o'er Ids new made grave;
His dear helov’d Palmetto Male
Had ne’er a son more brave.
bet p;irents in submission bow
To Him who rules in love;
His ways Hlschildrcn know not now,
but will in realms above.
For He that gave could not withhold
’1 lie gift that was so dear,
He made him lovely and recall'd
Him to another sphere.
Yes, James was dutiful and kind
As hrotlwr and|as ton,
fn friendship true as steel refin'd,
Deceit in him unknown.
His memory lives, tho’ he is dead.
With those who knew him lies)
Near where he sleeps as oft they tread
They’ll say. “Sweet he thy rest.”
A friend of Ids soldier’s heart
This feeble t rihnte pays
A noble one is history's part
She'll litly speak ins praise.
James McKown was a brother of
Dr. Calvin Brice McKowo, of Black-
stocks, Ex-Representative S. T. Mc
Kown and Mrs. John D. Boyd, of
Cornwell, Chester county.
Those familiar with the history of
this battle will remember that in the
charge upon the federal works the
Sixth South Carolina Regiment got
in front of the First Kentucky Regi
ment which through mistake opened
a destructive fire upon it and killed
and wounded a great many men.
The scene that followed beggars
description.'' At this unfortunate
moments when the “Blue grass”
bo>s opened fire the gallant old sixth
was currying everything before it;
supported on the right and left by
Taxag and Minnisbipyians, respect
ively and this wave of Impetuous
humanity was lashing its furry upon
the federal line when the melting fire
from the Kentuckians gave the
federalsan advantage which they im
proved and the Confederates being
uwe stricken, were driven from the
field leaving their dead and wounded
in the hands of the enemy. Rdying,
the Confederates, retook the field and
preserved tho bodies of their dead
and a portion of their wounded the
federals hadn’t placed beyond their
reach.
Misses Mattie Killian and Della
White have sent us correct answers
to one of the questions asked
“Student.” It was Napolian’s coach
man who in a state of intoxication
drove his masters with such rapidity
towards the opera in Paris that he
passed over the mine in which an
infernal machine was conceal and
he was out of danger when it ex
panded killing twenty persons,
wounding fifty-three and shattering
the windows on both sides of the
street.
An Anoymous writer signing him
self “A Ledger Subscriber” wants
to known how lake Itaaca got its
name. We have often refused to
comply with such requests. We
don’t wish to be troublea with ques
tions unless we know who our inler-
roguter was; but we will answer him
as he is a Ledger subscriber:
When a company of explores had
found what they considered the
Mississippi river, a discussion arose
as to what they should eall it. An
old veteran voyager—Michal Calhoun
Arbutsaid: “Let us give it a new
name—something unheard of by
coining a word; will some of you
latin scholars tell me what stands
for true?” ’’Yeritos” was the re
ply. “Well what is the latin for

first and last syllables
take the other as the
lake—Itasca—meaning

‘True head.”
Hope the correspondent will give his
name next time.
Our next letter will begin with the
new year of which we wish our
readers a prosperous and happy one.

TRYING A DEAD MAN.
IT IS OFTEN DONE BY THE BRITISH
BOARD OF TRADE.
— •
Tho ProooodlnK Alwaja In Onlor
W hon n Vo.mhoI I.out nt Son and
llor Cniitnin Goon Willi Ilor to tho
tiottmai, an He Generally’ Doom.
Ah surely as tho “crowner’s queet”
follows on the-heels of mysterious death
so follows the board of trade inquiry on
any great disaster at sea. It is prosaic
ally named perhaps, but no trial for
murder is half so enthralling as this
investigation, when a dead man is on
trial for the slaughter of hundreds—
when the captain of the ship, though
lying fathoms deep, with the weeds of
the ocean tangled in ids hair, is yet ar
raigned before a living judge for what
he has done.
Wo are supposing that the disaster to
be inquired into is the loss of a great
liner, with hundreds ©f lives—one of
those huge floating rastles to whose
protection men and women trust them
selves as fearfessly tie to that ef their
own rooftrees has been flying Engkmd-
\rard with its load of human lives,
when came a shifting fog, a crash and
a cry in the night and disaster.
There is about this trial nothing of
the impressiveness of an inquiry at the
criminal courts. There aru no aldermen
in scarlet and fur, no sheriffs in ruffles
and sword. The judge, in robes and
wig, is replaced by three quiet men in
frock coats. They are fho president and
the two naval assessors—both captains
of the royal navy. The president is gen
erally Mr. Marsham, the magistrate at
Westminster—a tall and dignified fig
ure, with the whitest hair and the
deepest bass voice in the world. It is
be who conducts tho investigation,
questioning the witnesses and generally
directing, while tho naval assessors sit
with arms folded on their desks and
jerk in a question here and there on
some specially knotty point.
The bench sits aloft, below in the
well are the counsel, sans wig or gown,
the solicitors and various persons inter
ested. There is the manager of the great
line, anxious and preoccupied in man
ner, tugging at his mustache, and ready
to go into the box and swear te the
trust.and confidence reposed by bis peo
ple in the dead captain. Nay, perhaps
even the white bead of tho chairman
himself, baronet and M. P., may be
seen on the crowded benches. It is per
haps the first disaster tho lino has sus
tained, and he thinks with bitterness of
the eclipse ef the arrogant boast that
his line has “never lost a passenger’s
life. ” Truly, tho i»ouic gods have made
the braggart’s toward pressed down
and running over!
There are many bronzed and ruddy
faces of seafaring men to bo seen—many
heartrending quiet g-rflfcps of people in
deep mourning, the relatives of passen
gers. In a pen by themselves are tho
impassive reporters. Messenger boys of
the various journals and news agencies
form a whispering group on tho steps of
tho press box and every now and then a
great bundle of manuscript will be
banded over the partition and seized by
its proper Mercury, who straightway
disappears for a space. Perhaps if tho
disaster has occurred off a foreign shore,
you may sec one or two dark faced men
in resplendent uniforms, coast officials
courteously lent by the foreign govern
ment to give evidence.
The first day of an inquiry is general
ly given over to maps and charts. Hugo
and rustling sheets are opened in the
witness box, handed up to tho bench
and pored over by counsel. It is dread
fully dry and technical and gives tho
reporters little to do. Tho counsel will
still be talking, hut nobody marks
them. There is a big cohort of counsel—
counsel sepresentiug tho board of trade,
connsel representing the line, counsel
representing tho surviving officers,
counsel representing relatives of tho
dead.
Interest revives somewhat the second
day—the dead captain’s character is .be
ing proved. The officials of the line say
all they can. Burly, husky and rnddier
than the cherry, into the box steps tho
skipper of a small tramp steamship that
sighted the big liner just before the dis
aster. The saloon windows wore lighted
up, and he heard mnsic, he says. Tho
surviving officers go into thr box and
are closely questioned. Interest now is
at its height, for here are the men who
grappled with death on that reeling
deck in the lonely ocean, and hero, in
this crowded tiny court in tho heart of
London, are come to tell us all about it
Thou comes one of tho passengers
who survived, and ho is the most inter
esting of all. He brings the scene be
fore us—tho gayetyof the saloon, wboro
just before tho captain has been toasted
and thanked for his skill and care, the
sudden alarm, tho rush and confusion,
tho frantic terror of some, tho cool
courage of others. He paints also the
pale and steadfast captain on the bridge,
with his folded arms, going down to
death.
And so from day to day drags on the
slow inquiry till wo como to tho find
ing. The counsel have said their say.
the assessors have retired, and now Mr.
Marsham reads in his deep bass the
judgment of tho court It is a long
judgment and touches on many points
and among them the “negligence ef
Captain Mainstay, the master. ”
Negligence 1 And so Mr. Marsham
gets into his brougham and >s driven
homo to dinner, while alar tho deep sea
fishes dart in and out of tho hare ribs
