-COL. O. W. BABB WILL NOT MAKE RACE Gves- as Renson Announcement of Moore's Ca'ndidacy for Re-Election. Colurmbina, Fob. I .--Announceniont' that he would not enter the campaign next sulinamer for the oillde of adjutant general was definitely made late Sat urday by Col. O. W. Babb, assistant adjutant general, of Columbia, consid erod one of the most widely known of ficials in the state militia. 'le -stated that the previous! an nouncenent of the cairdidacy of W. W. Moore, adjutant general, for reelection was his 'principal reason for this do termination. Ho expressed apprecia tion- for the interest shown by the officials and members of the National Guard of South '-Carolina and others not connected with the state military in his making this race. Col. Babb has been connected with the state militia for a number of years. Ile was captain of Co. !D, First. infantry, which ilgured prominently in the riots 'at Spartanburg in 1908, and has served efflciently as assistant ad jutant general of this 'itato under Ad Moore, the incumbent. lefore accept ing the oflice he now holds, Col. Babb was deputy clerk of court for Laurens county. One of the most important inci dents is his career in the state militia was the part he took in the unveiling of the monument to Gen. Schuyler at Saratoga, in New York state, in 1912, as the official representative of South Carolina. He placed at ithe foot of this monument the flag of South Caro lina, where also were placed the flags of the 12 other of the 13 original states of the Union.-Columbia Rec ord.

Bw A Northern View of Stonewall Jackson Written During War. (Presbyterian Standard.) Through the kindn s of Mrs. Stone wall Jackson we are able to give our readers an editorial on the "Death of Stonewall Jackson," written. by a Northern man, May 22, 1863. When we remember the bitterness of feeling on both sides at that C'ime, the kind spirit of this editorial speaks much for the nman who wrote It and much for the man of whom it was written.-Ed. 8th November, 1913. Mrs. Mary A. Jackson. Dear Madam: I am not a veteran of the war, for I am too young, but war literature is very interesting to me and particularly your contribution in the Hearst Magazine. I have read Ilenderson's "Stonewall .Jackson," more than once, also the "Life and Letters of Margaret Junkin Preston." I have always regarded your husband as one of the original and in teresting characters of history. I pray that you will not look upon this letter with its enclosure as anything other than a trace of Northern like in a 'period or darkness. Asa McFarland was owner and ed itor of tl e New Ilampshire Statesman many ye rs. I remember hiim as an old man, but his sons have long been my friends. Mr. McFarland was.a son of Concord's third town minister, whose pastorate beginning early in the 19th century ended fn 1825. 1 mention thin to show who the write of the editori al was, written in the darkest days of war, not in exultation, but in sadness, It Illustrates in large measure how General Jackson was looked upon by 'people who held him in respect, not hatred. I have always regarded ,this country editorial as one of those con tributions to the truth of sincere judg ment of man's acts which deserve ree ognition. It is with this sentiment, den r madam, that I sends the editorial to you. Believe me very truly, Charles R. Corning. Let me say that the writer of this editorial was a .republican-almost a radical.

The people of Virginia are mourn ing 'as they rarely if ever did for any other inhabitant of that common wealth, the death of Stonewall Jack son. HIs name, as most readers may bo aware. was Thomas J. Jackson. 'The lrefix so gbnerally used indicat ed one of the 'features of his mInd inilexibility of' purpose. To that were added other desirable attributes by which men acquire influence over others, and are long and affectionate ly romemcbered when they* are gone. Jackson was a remarkable person; and his death is the subject of regret among other people than those in re volt. The Albany Journal expressed In one line the feeling of loyal pee, plc, when it said: "Ve hoped for his capture-not his death." The deceased general was one of those who, in seasons of peril, throw every imniflse of their souls into the public service. ie went into thq re bellion with the sanlme unquenchable zeal, the same transfixed, immutable purpose, that aniimatedi Robespierre and St. .Just in the first French Revo lution. Indeed, .lackson was the St. .ust of the rebellion, with this es sential difference, that Jackson cher ished the most i)lrofouenl religious con victions. He believed in Providence as made known in revelation. le be lieved that hu-man affairs are controll ed by an Almighty Heing-not as a fatalist or a deist' believes, but that God employs human agents to carry into effect many of his own designs. To In exibility of purpose and pro found religious convictions were add ed the most disinterested purposes and the most heroic courage. His zeal was clear anid constant as the light of a never-obscured star. In all stages of the rebellion, his whole soul was ab sorbed in it. He went into the strug gle utterly Irrespective of personal consequences. He never, it is said, manifested a mercenary -purpose, and was as fearless as a lion, although docile as a child. ills camp-alas! how unlike the camps of many gen erals!-was a place where prayer and praise mingled on the altar; a camp whence he went forth to cares and IROD Company IRON RACKET with ii noney.

The careers and death of such men are not without their influence even upon those who cannot be expected to grieve when they are gone. It can not be otherwise. I We may deplore their errors, but find it impossible to resist the effect of. their exalted con cepitions of What they believed to be duty to their fellowmen, their coun try, and their God. That the deceas ed 'hero. believed blimself in the line of his duty, there can be no doubt whatever. No hypocrite could have wrought himself into such tension of will, rendered such heroic service, and been so transfixed and bound down to a cherished purpose and the world will o credit to itself, and strengthen iman kind in noble purposes, to permit Stonewvall Jackson to pass into history as a Christian soldier. There is a sympathetic chord running through the human race, which often extorts our respect, even when the judgment con deminus. Loyal p~eoplec through the North are glad that a powerful foe of the 1inlon has been removed; but it is a credit to themn that they would have preferred, in the foregoing lan guage of i contemporary, that Stone Wall .lackson had been capturoil rath er than slain. The only improvement that can be made of the death of so remarkable a man is, to hope and pray that exam Ales of similar herois-m may be multi plied in the loyal armies of the Repub lic. Where have we an oflicer in high command, of so many desirable ele ments of character as were mingled in Stonewall Jackson? Is there a soli tary example of such unostentatious deportment. such dauntless courage, such uncomplaining endurance--in tastes simple as a child, willing to en counter hardship, perils, fastings, death, even, at any moment, for the cause of the Union and the Constitu tion? There are good generals in our army but not one, of whom the public is aware, who has the power Jackson possessed of so infusing 'his own burn ing, unquenchable earnestness and un flagging energy into his men, that they loved hima a tendeer father, became his arms, his legs, his spirit, and then moved with the irresistible energy of those laving such a leader.
