L -1 -N DEATH CALLS I CAPT. CHAS. PETTY Was Veteran Newspaper Man, a Confederate Soldier, Member of ng Famous Wallace House and a Christian Gentleman. y died at his home at Spartanburg Tuesday morning of last week after on an illness of less than a fortnight. Though extremely weak from the infirmities of old age, Captain Petty f,\. was conscious until the last and during the early hours of this morning he conversed with his loved ones about the bed. I)e?th was due to a general physical breakdown, though, a few days ago he fell and suffered a shock, which probably hastened the end. Five weeks ago he celebrated his 80th birthday. The funeral services will be held ou from the late residence some time tomorrow, the hour and more complete lie arrangements to be announced later, or Confederate Veteran. " Charles Petty was born January 16, 1835 on the farm of his father, James Petty, two miles west of Gaffney. re Hi's father was from Orange county, ne Virginia. His mother was Ruth Cannon, sister of the late Gabriel Cannon ilf When a young man he began teach1." ing in the Spartanburg Female College and in 1859 married Julia Davis, of Wilkinsville, then in Union county. n1 Shortly after "The Star of the West" was fired a call was made for in a certain number of companies. Seva eral in this county were organized. One was known as Company C. 13th. S. C. V. Of this company, Charles Petty was a member, T. Stobo Farrow was captain. D. R. Duncan, J. W. ?" Carlisle and A. S. Douglas were lieutenants. When the regiment wa-ed organized, Capt. Farrow was elected major, D. R. Duncan was promote! to captain and Charles Petty was elected lieutenant. Those four officers went through the entire war tcou gether, neither being seriously wounded. Lieutenant Petty was with nis rege< iment during the several days around ng Richmond and was engaged in the battles of Gaines' Mill and Cold Harbor.

Y., manufacturer ut of aeroplanes and himself an aviator eti Mr. Curtiss has been watching re lie ports from the war zone in Europe fit regarding the aviation operations, and has had many private reports of these operations. "It is generally understood among an aeroplane experts that the Germans 1't xire preparing to make an aeroplane n- raid on the English coast and that the English reinforced, perhaps by lis the French, will rise to meet them," Bu fc'.id Mr. Curtiss. "I can see only one result of such a fight?the defeat all of the Germans. I believe this will be the case, because the English aerod nlanes are most efficient in every respect than those of the Germans. They are faster, better constructed and can rise to greater heights 1?

QUESTS ENJOYED A Presence of Monkeys at Format Meaner by Mrs. Longworth Made a Decided "Hit." It hnppened that Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, tho daughter of former President Roosevelt, and -wife of the distinguished Ohio representative, had presented to her among many hundred other gifts, two little monkeys. who lost no time in sustaining their reputation for mischievous antics, and kept the Longworth household In a panic as to what was going to happen next. They were too nimble and quick to be punished for the evil of their ways, and so, week in and week out tho monkeys had a lovely time of it. When Mr. and Mrs. Longworth entertained. the little creatures were shut up behind lock and key, and usually wore themselves out in their effort to break through, and went to sleep in consequence, from sheer exhaustion. This had always insured the success of a party, without any disturbing interruptions, until one fateful night when Mrs. Longworth looked up to discover a monkey grinning at her from the top of a picture. It was only a second until the other one climbed up the corner of the cloth, and snatched a few nuts from some of the panic-stricken guests. His partner in crime leaped from the picture and perched himself upon the shoulder of a guest, and the details < of what followed are not laid down In the directions given to polite society as how to entertain. "Hut," laughed a guest not long ago, "I shall never forget how utterly funny it was, nor how we all enjoyed it, just as soon as we were asured the monkeys would not eat us." | WAR NEWS FROM KANSAS Up to 1 A. M. tho Situation in Jenks' Home Was Reported as Remaining Unchanged. The battlo at Short Jenks' home continues unabated, says the Atchison Globe. At eleven o'clock this morning Mrs. Jenks made the following official announcement: "With a brilliant charge about breakfast time I flanked my husband with my stalwart foot and ha doubled up and then retreated in haste. It was almost a rout." At one o'clock this morning Mr. .looks officially announced: "The situation remains unchanged. There have been attacks and counter-attacks on both sides, with no decisive results. I'm now well intrenched and confident behind a tub in the cellar. I believe I will ultimately triumph. The enemy is making many claims, and making those things is the easiest thing in the world to do. If she had a cannon that was as rapid as her mouth I would be compelled to admit that my position is serious. At is It, I concede nothing. I will conserve my strength and forces, with the view of getting out of the cellar and consulting a lawyer. I urge American newspapers to judge not until the real situation is known. History will vindicate me and declare that I did not start hostili- ! ties. My sister-in-law urged my wife < to start them. My wife didn't need a great deal of urging." Off to the Front. A theatrical woman went into a Itroadway drug store and leaned upon the show case. A druc rilsnensor vanced precipitately and stood smiling expectantly before her. "Have you got any smokeless powder?" inquired the woman sternly. The young man backed off in fear that the war news from the other side had unsettled the woman's mental balance. "Smokeless powder?" he gasped. "No, madam, we haven't any. You will have to go to a gun store for that." "You haven't got any then?" she persisted, piercing him with her deep, dark eyes "No, ma'am," he said, all of a tremble by now. "What do you call that in that box in the show case?" she asked, pointing at the article in question. "That's ordinary face powder, lady," he explained freely "Well, that's smokeless, isn't it?" she said with a silvery laugh, and the drug dispenser was nearly overcome by the reaction.
