Col. do Cholseul was born in France, but having lived nearly all hia life in this country, when the Confederate war bogun ho catao promptly forward and offered his services to the State of Louisiana, being prepared as an adopt ed 6on of tho South " to do or dlo lor Dixie." Tho fo lowing letter, written by a comrado who shured tho danger> of tho Held with him, gives soin-j idea of tho mllltaiy career of this French no bleman, who belonged to Stonewall Jackson's corps and fell in that great general's celebrated valley uampatpn : Nkw ?ki.eass, La., May 25, 181)8. Dear Madame : l will give you what I know of the lato Col. de Cholseul, ? who was a practicing lawyer In New Orleans up to tho time the war broke out and foreman of a volunteer lire company, called the American Houk and Ladder, No. 2. From that com pany and Columb.a, No. 5, was organ ized tho American Hilles, afterward* Company C, of tho 7th Louisiana Vol unteers. The American Rides and two other companies formed a battulion, called tho Sumter battalion, with Charitde Choiaeul as major. In M '.y, 1801, this command huj sent to Camp Monioe, La., and there was formed the 7th Louisiana regiment, with Harry 1\ Hays as colonel anu diaries do Choiseul as lieutenant colonel. Juno 7 this re giment was raustei ed into the Confeder ate service and was sent to Lynohl urg, Va., and from there to Manassas, where we encamped until July 7, 1861. On July 18 the buttlo of Hall Uun was fought; then followed Manassas, Slab Town, l'ort Royal, Middletown, Win chester, Cross Keyb anil Fort Republic, where our lieutenant colonel was mor tally wounded. Uo was in command of our regimont when ho was t hot, Col. Hays having been badly wounded at tho beginning of this engagement. Col. do Cholseul was with tho regi ment In all of tho battles above men tioned, and was a true gentleman and a bravo soldier. Yours respectfully, J. J. CUMPSTKN. Capt. Y. J. Walche, President Camp No. 1, United Confederate Veteran-, Army of Northern Virginia, also writes : Dear Madame : In reply to your letter I beg to any that I 'mow the Colonel personally, who waa a thorough gentleman and a gallant soldier; and I well remember tho battlo of l'ort Republic, becauso it was largely u Louisiana victory and wo lost heaviiy In all tho regiments of our brigat e. 1 belonged to the <>th Louisiana, and this regiment, with tho other Louisiana regiments, except the 7th Louisiana, made tho attack on tho enemy's left, while the 7th Louisiana and two Vir ginia regiments attacked on the i ighf, therefore we wero not together at tae time Col. do Choiseul was shot, but I reraemhor that ho took command after Col. Harry T. Hays (afterward our brigado commander) wks wounded and that tho lieutenant co'ouel was wound ed at tho head of his regimont. tt may appear strange to you that 1 cannot give you moro particulars, but that very evening, after tho battle had been fought and won, our army, under Gen. T. J. Juckaon, took up the march to join Con. Lee boforo Richmond, und arrived there in timo to take pa.'t in the Seven Days' battles around that city, hence thoro ia some dltfioulty in tracing up tno facta about do Choi a id's death and burial. Col. du Choiaoul waa engaged in all tho battles in tho Valley, and his ivgi mont, and indeed all of Jackson's troops, woll earned their name of 'foot cavalry'' by reason of their rapid movements. Gen. Jackaon'a fighting was hard and successful and in all this campaign Col. do Choiseul stood out as not only a bravo Officer, but an ideal volunteer soldier and Southern gentle man. Yours respectfully, Y. J. Walchb, Capt. (late) Co. I, (>th Lu. Vol. Heir.. C. S.

Ele said I was wanted there to talk to the people, and iio veoturod to lix tho cay and iho compensation for . loss of fcimo und waste, of tongue. I , hau never heard of I'eizer nor could I lied it on u:y antiquated map. Hut I did lind it ou one of later date, and supposed it was some small village I thai had u cotton mill and a dam on 1 I the 8aiudb uud some tenement houses. . Nevertheless) 1 accepted the call, for the oiler was liberal. The next mail brought a Blmilar invitutiou from Pied mont, another utill to<vuu only six miles from Peizer. i So I Journeyed from Atlanta to Greenville, and there, changed cars lor my destination, which was only twenty miles away. It was night when 1 roaobed the place. My good friend, Mr. Padpett, who is the democratic postmaster,' took mo to his house. I had not seen tho town, for it was quite dar . " What is the prospeot for an audience?" I Inquired. "Very good," lie said. "I think you will have j Boveral hundred people out to bear i you." " Why, how large is your town? What Is your pop latfonV" "About 7,000," he said. I was amazed. A town twiee as large a- Curtorsvillo and 1 never heard of it uud it is not ou I my map. He explained by saying that i it was only twelve years old, and had j four largo cotton mills that employed over 2 000 operatives, and consumed n< arly 100,01)0 bales of cotton, and the I company owned some ."1,000 acres of land, and all the houses and stores and I churches and several miles of tho river. " Did yen advertise me pretty well ? 1 asked. " Oli, yes !" lie Bald. , " We church folks told ii to everybody wo met, both in the town and in the ' country, and they all said thev wore I coming." "Publish it in the papers?" said i. "No, no. We have no papers i here, and no priming ulHee. Wo didn't j even have a poster or u hand bill, but. i we talked it a good deal." Wei!, I listened 'And wondered, and my con tldenOO was shaken. After a bounti ful supper and r. little mixing up with the children, we went to the. larg*o Ohuroh where I was to hold forth, and found it already pretty well lilled. !>i a brief time I stood before inoro than 500 people, and was inspired to in ike iny best effort, for 1 had an orderly and attentive congregation, and we all fell in love with mo another. I never j have had a more gratifying lecture 00- 1 oaslon. Next morning was spent in viewing the oily and tue nulls and tho library. The merchants carried im nu use stocks in large stores, and there j were many nice resldencoj fe>r the I managers and heads of the various dc i partments, but they were all built and aro owned and leased by tho mill com ! paoy. This company owns and con ! trol8 every foot of land and evorythlug I that is on it. Captain Bmyth, of I Charleston, Is tho king, too e/ir, a j big-hearted, brainy mau, and every body respects and loves him. He i a ton of that celebrated Presbyterian minister of Charleston who during his ministerial life, was a notable' mar. in eel Ig I >'u circle-. I i*env mbor that ho was one < f my father's fi i >nds. " Who ;s your mayor?" said I. "We have I none ; no mayor nor alderman, no municipal corporation, no marshal nor police. Captain Smyth runs the town. Everybody who comes hero for employment is investigated eaiofully. H's antecedents must be good or he can't stay. Wo bavo no lawyers nor eo .tors ; don't need any. We allow th'-m to come in and look around." " Did you know that 1 was a lawyer ?" suid I. "Oh, yes; but wo learned that you had quit the practice and reformed, and so we invited you." ' I don'tseo any negroes about hen said i. " No, wc don't want them. There are- u few, hut they live outside. Some of thcin cook and wash for us, but Captain Smyth don't want us to mix With them or depend upon them. He wants everybody to depend upon themselves as much us possible." "And so yon have ruled out lawyers, editors and mgroes?" "Y:s," said he, " urd there are no saloons or blind tigers or oigarottes." ' How about doctors?" I asked. "Oh, of course we have I doctors ; yes, wo have two doctors und ceo dentist and four preachers, ail sf lect, and one photographer." The Company has a good public library and pays a man to keep it. I visited mill No. 4, au up tO-date mill in all respects. It Is operated by eleotriolty that is generated two miles distant ut some, falls of the Saluda river. This mill amazed me. No coal and no s'.oam. It la 128 feet wide and ?l!8 feet long ami is four stories high. In one great room I saw 00,000 spin d es turning. in two others there were 1,100 looms. It requires 1J0O operatives to attend to this ml I, ana it takes 66,000 bales of cotton for a year's supply. Just think of it. Tho Superintendent? Mr. Guy, had the ol water to stop about half way up be t veen floors so that I might have a good view of the machinery and the b isy boys and girls In this r pinnin?: room. This room he called his ehiiu ri n's room ; not tho children's room, but my children's room, he said. Scon s of llttlo chaps not more than ten years old who looked their love for him. Thoy worn tho brightest and healthiest children I over saw in a n ill, and earn from 25 cents to 00 coats B day. Many of the grown girls earn from 00 cents to $1.25 a day, and t he average pay Of them nil is U2. cents. This is good wages, for their work is easy and healthy. The rooms are never too hot or too cold ; for tho temp erature Is kept uniform bv fans and heaters In tho basement. No grease or fatty matter is u>cd on tho mach;, nery?nothing but pur? mineral oil* Tbese oh ldrou aro required to leave ihn mill at certain periods and goto their public schools, ?htch aro sup ported by the company. I visited me school and found .'100 of the pupils, gathered in tho largo room to receive, mo and liston to a brief talk about m, Old school days and some words of en? oouragement to oheer them up.

Another posslh!" explanation lies in tho tidal efioot of tho sun's attraotlon which constantly tends to dlslnto grate tho meteoric muss and dlstrib uto tho moteoric matter uniformly around tho orbit. Tho earth at each return would Intorcept a less numbor of metoors in this thin stream.

Charleston News ami Courier. The recent shooting affair at Seller.-, following so closoly ou tho Oi/.ts dis dosure In Columbia, has set everyone . ting about ttic dispensary aud its management. Tue geuoral opinion of .-?outa Carolinians met with in tho UOtuls of tliis city is that liie entire p ipulution of the State hui becom ? iisgiistod with the long array ol ? e indal8 and gore that besmear tho re curd of the " groat moral institution." U omrso there was a large element in I buO State which has been opposed lo tho dlsp?DSary frum tho start, und re cently this element of opposition to tho State's rum tr.iiiio has boon groatly uugiaen ed hy additions from the ranks of those who once honestly supported if, hut have now become nauseated. Men who really thought the dlapen* sary the very best tiling that could possibly bo devised for controlling tho whiskey business have changed tbolr opinions during the last few montns and are now for it-; abolition o:- modi fication. Among tho prominent men of tho State who have recently visited Char leston was Senator Appolt, of Clare - don County. Tho Senator is a nij.n who keeps abroast of politics in the State and when asked If, in his jplniou, there would Oo any change in tile dlS pensary law, said : " Vet. 1 think there will no a modi* float Ion of in j dispencary law. I at tended the State bail' and met quit.: a number of my colleagues, auu to a mau they wore ol tbo opinion that u very material change in the law was iieece* su"y to moot too demands o! tue p o plo, and aUo to meet existing oonui nous. Well, I hardly know what will bo tho.ohangc, but unless the General As sembly abolishesitbo present system at Columbia the p<opIO,,lri my opinion will abolish tiie members of mat body just us toon us they can goi u wnauic at them.

Why hero in Charleston a stranger ?vouid hardly know of tho ex istence of tho dispensary law. Blind liners are overyw-horo ? Hie Statu gois no revenue, nelthei' does the county o." oiiy. uevertholCrtd urge quantities of liquor are sold, crime resulting there fiom, aud your Court cxponsos i.r piling up a burdonsomo tax upon the property owning cias.s. To tuy mind it is the Bill lost of bOah to taik aOOUt enforcing any law in a community vshore those opposed to the law are ohargod With its execution, and tho juries often made up ol men some of whom are engaged in too illicit sale of liquor. " No, I have no matured plan at pres ent. J have soon listatoJ where Si na tor Tlllman favored abolishing v!io present board and -to create a board consisting of tho Governor and other btale ollicers. I am opposed to ttt 0 a pt ,n ami will vote against any bill Im posing the duties of running tho dis pensary on the Governor. I favor sub mitting tho liquor qucdtlon to toe p.: i pie ; that is, lor the General Assombly to provide means for holding an elec tion on the same day in every couuty, a choice of three tickets to bo voted : Dispensary, prohibition or high licjnse. in the counties voting for the dispen sary, for the entire managomout, pur en using, etc , to be |>ut into the hands of a local board, composed of the mayo.-, county supervisor and a uon-ofllee Lidding oltlzon, who shall be appointed by the Comptroller Goneral, or, my, tbo foreman of tiio grand jury. Vi ore should boa provision In tho law per mitting tho question to be voted on whenever onethlrd of the voters of a county petition for the same. By this plan the town, tho county am tho State would have, a representative on the board to look out for the respec tive Interosts. Then I would Impose on tbo Comptroller General a supervisory power over tho finances of tin: In t iu lion. If prohibition is carried ROOUld he. a BUffloient public sent i Ut to a'.d tho local ollicers in i in-. onfoi'CO in Mit of the law. Then with "high lioen-o " the licensing power, the licensees and the police power would rc/ulato and onforCO the law, This, ::> my opinion, cruel dy outlined, is a solution of this vexed question and one '.hut would bring about a renewal of respect for law, so grossly laoklng in communities .vhoron law Is obnoxious." ?Tho beer which 1?

SnUNUBlY :jyst?kious akfriy Out' Mutt Slut to Dentil Hint Another Badly Wounded?The flayer Suri-u dared and is in Jal!. Tho (hecuvllle Mountaineer. Dr. Tlics, F. James, of this city, was killed in the Six Mile section of PickoUS County on Woduosday night. His son, Hauip Janios, was dosporatoly wouudod at the same time. There is an element of i yStory about the affair, and tho re ports reaching this city have' ?00U very meagre, the Six Mile section being I somewhat remote from railroad stations and telephones. Tho killing was done by Sam Lanier, a young white man, who has surrendered to the shorilT of Plckons County, La- I nier's wife scorns to have been primarily the cause of the trouble. Tito presence of the young man with Dr. .fames is against tho theory that thoro was undue intimacy between Mrs Lanier and the senior .James. The pro' able explanation is that Whlskoy was the lirst clement of the trouble, that section being reported to be infested" by blockade liquor, and i>r .lames seems to have rested under the imputation in that section of being uu informer, as lie was formerly con nected with tho revenue Service. Dr. James, as he was commonly called, was well known in this city, having resided hero at two or three dillcrent periods and coming here frequently when living in Anderson County. He was about lifly live years of age and was a native of Anderson County. He be gun life in very bumble circumstances, bui acquirod considerable property. Many years ago lie commenced opera tlOUS as an "Indian doctor" and became quite notorious on this lino. He was never regarded as u regular practitioner, and so far as is known he acquired his medical education dining an enforced sojourn in the West. He practiced ex tensively in Anderson and I'ickcns J bounties, Lately he moved his family ; to this city, but spent most ol his time in I'ickcns, >'ii a farm near Six M ile moun* nun. Several years ago Dr. James was a deputy marshal in tho revenue service and was known as a daring raider and a \ keen seeker. Ho leaves a wife and eight children. The burial was at Si loam chun h yesterday aftomoou. Hob Jiiinu-, a eon of tho deceased, re* turuod yesterday from the scene of the tragedy, having come the large part of tin thirty miles in the night. He heard par; of tho testimony at the inquest and talked with his wounded brother. II s story removes some of the worst features of the case as regards Dr .lame-. The story he got is that Dr. .lames and llauip went to the home of Sain Lanier, who is a tenant on their place, to spend the night. Lanier and his wife, who is a moro girl, had a quar rel, and Hainp in attempting to stop it, got into a dilliottlty with Lanier Hatnp was stabbed thicc times, once in the left arm and twice, in tho side. The , physicians think lie knife penetrated the lungs. The woman insisted that she was going to leave the place and go I to her fathers, and disregarded all re* ; monstrances, She went out and hitched up Dr. James' horse. (lamp was getting weak and Dr. Jamos took him to the buggy, and the two men, with the wo man, went to the home of Tyler Endes, Mrs. Lanlet's father, one ! mile distant. Arriving at the house 'iic woman got out lirst and started to the house. As she got clear of the hoi sc and buggy two shots were llred from behind a pile of laths, a few feet away. Hump was hit in the Head and face by several shot and Could not tell accurately about the shooting. He did not hear Iiis lather groan or make any noise whatever. When Tyler Eadcs reac cd the buggy 1 he found Dr. .lames dead on the seat, having simply falle i back, his head hanging over the rear of the bujgy. ? Two loads of No 11 shot struck him in the breast ami in the lace. The breast ! wie.i horribly torn up and the eyes were I shot entirely out. Lanier told EadoS ? what he had done, [lamp says tin gun ! was not at Lantor's house when the fuss commenced and it is said to be H ides' I gun. The shooting occurred about one ' o'clock at night. Hump .lames' condition is desperate I and his brother think- his chances for life are very slight. The slabs are his worst wounds. The woman testified that Dr. JaiUOS slab iod Hainp and that she was dragged by Hi ? .James into the buggy, but got out bofor reaching her I fat nor'8 Little is known of Lanier, as I came into that community only a year i ago. He and his wife have not lived I happily during their short married life.
