WATCH FOR THE FIRST NUMBERS or -ii igcsJ HOW IIASKFXL LOST HIS AHM. III*. Gallant Conduct at the Rattle of Galncs' Mill. The article here reproduced was written by Gen. R. R. Hemphlll In the Abbeville Medium In 1SS9. Col. Has kell died at his home in Columbia on Saturday morning, as reported In The Sunday News, of yesterday: "The Democratic State execut've committee met in Columbia last week to elect a member of the National Democratic Exectlve committee to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of the late lamented Capt. F. W. Daw son. The Hon. John C. Haskell was j unanimously chosen for the honorable I and Important position. No better se? lection could have been made. He is In the full vigor of his Intellect aal powers, has fine exectlve talent, and Is a devoted party man. "Col. Haskell is a native of this county, and AJ?beville Is proud of her sen. Whatever station he has Ailed, and whatever duty he has been called upon to perform, he has always re? flected credit upon the place of his nativity and gained honor for himself. During the war he commanded a bat? talion of artillery, and upon nearly ev? er?, memorable battlefield of Virginia the roar of his well-directed cannon emphasized his love of South Carolina and his devotion to the cause of con? stitutional government. He was with Longstreet, and we fought under A. P. Hill. Once when we were hard pressed the *war horse' came to our relief. We still have In our memory a vivid picture of John C. Haskell ?s he came upon ths field. He rode a fine horse, whose arching ;ieck and dilated nostrils showed that he was at home amid the noise of battle. Col.' Hi.skell's slouched hat, encircled by a handsome golden cord, and the cape of his military cloak brought out In bold relief his soldiery figure. The earth trembled beneath his hurrying guns as they wheeled Into portion arid urlimbered. In a moment his blaxlnp Napoleons had thrown the advancing hosts of ths enemy Into confusion and turned ths tide of victory. "Col. Haskell has but one arm. He lost ths othsr at ths battle of Oalnes' Mill on June 17, IMS. How It was lost may Interest our readers. Osn. Lee had crossed the Chlckahomlr y and was advancing on McClellan. The "tTo^ughT^o^^ coming on the field, having made con? nection with Lee's force. Haskell war serving on the staff of Gen.. R. 1? Jones, but being inc ispoaed temalne at headquarters for some time after Ocn. Jones had gone towards the rtvci to observe the enemy. This did not suit him, and although scarcely In condition for any exertion at all, he mounted his horse and rode forward. He found Gen. Jones and Gen. Mc Gruder on high ground on the south side of the Chickahomlny. Beyond the river !n plain view the enem> were hurrying forward In dense col? umns to overwhelm our forces. Fron) recent heavy rains the river was out of Us banka. There was no bridge te cross, but It was necessary, to convey Information as to the movement of the enemy to Gen. Lee. Col. HaskeK rode a remarkably fine horse, once tin property of Gen. Turner Ashby, am he undertook to deliver the message. He quickly made his way to the river and soon the noble horse and its ga< lant rider were breasting the rushtm waters. A line of the enemy's env nlry pickets caught sight of the darin,, rider and opened Are upon him, ane continued to Ao so until he reaches the north side of the river and disap peared In a body of timber. The mes? sage was delivered, and Col. Haskel' remained with Longstret until late lr> the evening. He was directed by Longstreet to order R. H. Anderson ? Brigade forward. He did so, and go? ing to the front he found many men scattered and broken. He collected about two hundred of these, ami farming on the right of Whiting** division with a stand of colors In his nsnd. advanced with them to within al out fifty yards m the enemy's breastworks. Here his little finger was shot and bfOken? and his hor??c wo* shot and brought down to his knee; He- pulled his horse up and sperre I him, ami the faithful animal esrrled him an ! the fl ig right In among the enemy and fsll .lead. catching- Col Haskell's foot under him. "For SUSIS time It was Hnpexertl ' for Col. Haskell to f>SS htmsott kt ho fell a Yankee captain da??r?d ??? him ami attempts I t" take ths >;T Mil of colors from Hsokell'a left hand, bUl H.iskcll had a sword SWUng to h! right wrist by a sword knot, a ? j grasping it he struek: at the Ten! who by this time had drav n his p tol and fired, striking the star from the roller of Reekell'a eoet.

"Haskell then went to the left and came again to the men he had col lected and found them in front of the twenty-four gun hattery, which was ?weeping the plateau in their front. They rallied to a man around the Hag. which he still held in his hand, and he led them forward with Hoods Brigade as it made its second charge. At the very cannon's mouth his arm was torn into shreds and he fell, still grasping the colors. There he lay un? til night had closed the conilict, when Gen. Whiting, passed by, recognized him, nnd had him conveyed to the field hospital, where the wounded arm was temporarily bandaged, and he was sent to Richmond. A few days afterward the amputation was per? formed." AKOVSED AGAINST ENGLISH. Liberi ans Complain of Various Se? rious Aggressions. Las Palmas, Canary Islands, June 22.?The American scout cruisers Chester, Birmingham and Salem, Which left here today with the mem b?rs of the commission that investi? gated conditions in Liberia on board, are expected to arrive in New York on July 4. The members of the com? mission are R. P. Falkner, E. J. Scott and George Sr.le. It is possible that the commission's reports will say something with regard to foreign ag giesslon in the negro republic. The commissioners spent three weeks in Monrovia, considering the internal affairs of the country, and the impression was pained from statements which they made here that they had not found any com? plications which could not be unrav? eled with the help and moral sup? port of the nations havirg commer? cial interests in Liberia, or whose colonies adjoin that republic. After the conclusion of the work In Monrovia, the Chester, with the chairman and secretary of the com? mission, and Capt. S. A. Colman, the military attache at London, proceed? ed to Sierra Leone, to confer with the British officials with regard to the boundary disputes and other questions at issue between Sierra Leone and Liberia, which are the most serious problems facing the lat? ter country. The natives along the boundary complain that the Government ot Sierra Leone has practically taken posaesalon of 350 square miles of ??JSw?wsa*s4>^valuable, most thickly populated and most productive terri? tory on the northwest frontier; that It has expelled the Liberian # officials from the territory just south of the connecting loops of tne Sierra Leone Railway, the center of Important trade routes. The extension of the British railway Into this strip would divert the trade to Sierra Leone from the Hinterland, without the payment of duties to Liberia. While the Chester was north, the Birmingham, with the other Ameri? cans, went south to visit the Krue ?oast and the French boundary. With regard to this boundary there does not seem to be any serious questions, as Liberia has granted a concession to alternate sections of land along the frontier to Americans. The gov? ernment, however, seriously com? plains of Interference on the part of the British in an attempt to estab? lish full authority over the natives of the Krue coast. This Interference re? cently took the form of refusing to allow Liberia to bombard the vil? lages of rebellious natives. These conditions together with complications which have arisen In connection with Englishmen who are employed in the military department of Liberia, have aroused intense en? mity against everything English. When the commission arrived at Monrovia they were welcomed as the saviors of the country, and it became necessary to point out that they had eome only in an advisory capacity, and depended upon the Liherlans to rehabilitate their country.

Columbia, June 27.?The State lab? oratory, under the direction of Dr. F. A. Coward, who has been elected by the State board of health, will open at science hall at the University of South Carolina on July 1. The formal an? nouncements are being sent out to every physician in the State by Dr. C. Fx Williams, the secretary of the State board of health and State health of? ficer. Some months ago the State board of health decided to establish this lab? oratory, which will be used for an ex? amination for germs for contagious and infectious diseases and also for the examination of animals supposed to be infected with the rabies. There will be no charge for an examination, although the board can not arrange for quarters for any patients eent here. Dr. Coward has recently re? turned from Baltimore and other ci? ties, where the recognized Pasteur treatment is given, and as a result the State board will have a thoroughly equipped laboratory and one of the best In the country. Dr. Williams writes to the physi? cians as follows: "The State board of health an? nounces with genuine pleasure that its laboratory will be ready for work July 1. The work of this laboratory is Intended for the benefit of citizens of the State, and will be open to them through the medical profession. "The scope of work to be carried on will be confined, for the present at least, to bacteriological examinations looking to the prevention of contag? ious and Infectious diseases, and to the administration of the Pasteur treatment for rabies. "The bacteriological work will cov? er examinations of water, milk, sput? um for the presence of tubercle bacil? lus, blood for the presence of malarial parasites, Wldal test, cultures for diphtheria, feces for hook worms and smears in general. "In the Pasteur department exam, lr.allons will be made of animals sue reeled of rabies and persons bitten by animals found to be rabid will be tiented. There will be no charge for any examinations or treatment. Furt he Information may be obtamed by ae' c!r?9?ing either Dr. F. A. Coward,Di rector of Laboratory, or Dr. C. F.
