AN INCIDENT Wirtl A MOKAI-. “The reporter happened to enter as the last ot the vacant seats were filled, and was surprised by the sud den hush all over the hall. A mo ment’s glance towards the head of the table explained it all. private L. C. W. Knight, of Haskell’s South Carolina cavalry, was asking a bless ing, and every head was bowed. Private Knight is not a preacher, i federacy! but the veterans could not feel at ease without grace being said. The incident may not strike any one as singular describetl in cold type, but the air of Christian humility was noted by every city man present, who saw in it perhaps new proof that ‘God made the country, but man made the town.' ” The above paragraph is taken from the News and Courier and was writ ten by its regular staff correspon dent, Mr. Augustus Kohn. from Co lumbia during the re-union last week. Private Knight represents the typical Confederate soldier and the incident is far-reaching in its in dications and suggestions. No such incident has ever occurred or ever will occur at any re-union of the G. A. It., and th s fact, too,'.is signifi cant. We think the correspondent's ref erence to the old proverb is untimely and inapplicable, if his object is to have us infer that city people would not approve of Private Knight’s pro cedure; or, however it may be now, no Mich distinction could have been justly made forty years ago. The rank and file of the Confederate army was made up mainly of such men as Private Knight. They were not religious fanatics like Cromwell’s Round Heads, but they were men who feared and honored God and shaped their lives and conduct by the precepts of His revealed word. They were quiet, honorable, upright farmers, artisans, clerks, and mer chants, with high standards of honor and of duty, and they held their lives cheap in comparison with the obligations of thedr manhood. Such were the qualities that made them the most invincible soldiers that ever went forth to battle. Their enemies were in the main a horde of men gathered from the over-flow of Europe and of the great northern cities, without individual character, and with no motives stronger than those of rapacity and of animal courage. The result was that on every battlefield where there was not an cverwhelming disparity of num bers, the issue was never for a mo ment doubtful. .lackson in the val ley defeated and broke up in rapid succession three armies each far out numbering his own; Lee at Chan- cellorsville fought and defeated over three to one on ground of his antago nist’s own choosing; and in the Wilderness campaign his army killed and wounded ten thousand more m«i than their own ranks contained. It was such men as Private Knight that performed these deeds. The city people should stand uncovered in solemn reverence while he “says grace” for his comrades, and “stran gle the fool who would dare to scoff,” for this was the Confederate soldier’s teresting of its historical productions were separate sketches of the nine survivors of the .Secession Conven tion, and the reprint of Col Gibbs account of the burning Of Columbia. It was a master feat of journalistic genius and enterprise to get up such an edition at such a lime. We have deposited it among the v 'liable his torical documents being collected for the Winnie Davis School of History and sometime in the years to come it will be read from beginning to end by the future historian with thrilling interest. The re-union in Columbia was the greatest one ever held and the State did much towards making it so. Honor to the State and hats off before Hie spirit of the dead Con- YOUTH AND PLEASURE.

[Southern Kurin Magitninr.] The South offers excellent advan tages for successful dairying. It has the climate and the soils that pro duce the most luxuriant growths of pasture, as well as forage crops, and to this may be added the additional fact that pasturage in one way and another may be secured through at least nine months of the year. A wide variety of crops for ensilage may be grown, and the length of the growing season will enable these crops to reach maturity before being turned inlo the silo. Instead of pay ing high prices for land, as is the case in the North, it can be pur chased at much lower figures. Run ning water is pure and abundant.

Perhaps the largest number of young people who ever attended 11 social function in this city took part in the festivities, and the reception rooms, parlors and dining hull, which had been b(autiful!y deco rated for the occasion, presented scenes of natural and artistic beauty and loveliness that made a beholder feel ns though he had wandered into dreamland or into some fabled haunt of the Muses. All kinds of delicious refreshments and dainty good things were served in abundance, and under the skilled supervision of Uncle Sam Hopper, they had been prepared in the rich est and most tempting manner possi ble. It is not necessary to aay that ibis feature of the occasion was the acme of perfection in its sumptuoiis- ness and in the substantial enjoy ment it furnished every one of the merry banqueters. All in all, it was a happy assera-| blage, and the hours so freighted with pleasure glided by to the de lightful music of silvery voices and gay-hearted laughter.

About three wteks ago a pig belonging to Mr. John Millwood, of this city, was bitten by a mad dog, or a dog thought to be mad at the time.

Detective Bert Hallman was sum moned and he at once repaired to the scene of trouble, where, with a well directed shot, he laid the porker low. We do not know whether the pig was really in a bjdrophobic state or not; hut we have it on good authority that it was dead before Bert shot at it. Bert sticks to it, though, that he killed the pig, and we are not inclined to try to deprive him of the glory of his achievement.

Nobody knows more about the strong qualities of an establishment than the proprietor who oversees it. Other things being equal, nobody should be able to write more convinc ingly of the articles he of fers for sale. In a store where the employer sells goods side by side with his clerks it is rare that the employer will not l>e the best salesman. The reason issimple. He knov, s the goods from A to Z. He probably has pur chased them. He knows his aims. His arguments carry weight because they are convincing. The same arguments pre sented in the same way, with the same enthusiastic spirit, the same knowledge ot detail, would attract new customers if presented through the advertising col umns of this paper.
