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.

G. tu Hampton says in reference to
an article in the Abbeville Medium,
published some time ago, that the
charge made therein about his being
“very particular in refusing anything
now coming from McKinley, hut
stayed in office until he was dis
missed,” is absolutely false.
He wishes it stated that when Mr.
McKinley was elected he sent his
resignation to one of the leading Re
publican senators requesting him to
hand it to McKinley when he was in
augurated. This senator did so us
soon as President McKinley toak his
seat. He says: “My resignation
was in his hands as soon as Mr. Mc
Kinley took ins seat as president.”
Southern Dairying;.
[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.
The markets are good, there being a
local market for much more than is
produced at the present time.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.
Rev. 8am Jones was to tegin a
series of meetings in Savannah last
Sunday, and great uneasiness
been felt by his friends lest he
should get into trouble with the sa
loon men and the turbulent element
of the city. These have threatened
lo make it warm for him, if he says
what he has said at other places.
The public may rest assured, how
ever. that Ham will say what he
wants to say, and if a warm time
fhall follow be himself will be an
important factor in the process
geuerating heat.

It was our purpose to give in this
issue the very eloquent sermon de
livered to the Masons .Sunday night
by R-v W. 8 B. Ford, pastor of the
Second Bsptist church, but owing to
^the very crowded condition of our
^columns we were compelled to omit
it until Friday’s issue. We regret
having to do so; but our readers may
expect it next Friday sure, and we
hope that the short delay will but'
add to the interest it will insp re
when it appears, as it is without a
doubt ons of the most masterly ora
tions it has ever been our good for
tune to hear.
Caesar Booker, a negro, living at
Washington. Ga., is supposed lobe

being given as I2h years, lie was

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. If there was
one present who did not enjoy him
self to the fullest capacity of his
powers of enjoyment, he would be
ashamed to admit it.

A IMg Killed.
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. The pig was closely w. tched
after it received the bite and on Fri
day last it began to have fits and to
show unmistakable symptoms o>
hydrophobia.
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.

in the road. The wagon wheel struck
the rock and tilted the wagon throw

Advertising is called by
some an art.
If it be an art it is the art
of telling a story simply and
convincingly.
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.
