Judge O'Neal, in the Yorksville En-.
quirer, tells tue following Of Judge Will
liam Smith Of South Carolina
He had tue rare blessing to win the
love Of one Of the pureSt, mildest; and
best women, whose character has ever
been present to the writer. He married
Margaret Duff. In his worst DAYS, she
never upbraided him by word, look or
gesture, but always met him as if he was
one of the kindest and best of husbands,
This course on her part humbled him, and
made him weep like a child. This sen.
tence, IL is hoped, will be remembered,
was the language of Judge Smith to the
friend already named, and to those
who knew the stern, u~nbending public

Historical Facts Worth Preserving.

The Saxons first introduced archery ID
the time Of Voltigeur. 1t was dropped
Immediately after the Conquest, but re.
vived by the Crusaders, they having felt
the effects of it from the P~arthians.-
Bows and arrows, as weapons of war
were in use with stone cannon balls, as
late as 1910. 1t is singular that all stat.
utes for the encouragement of archery
were framed after the invention of gun.
powder and FIRE arms. Yew trees were
encouraged in the church yards for ma
king Of bows in 1742. Hence their gen
erality in ch~urchyards at the present
time.
Coats Of arms came Is vogue n the
reign OF Richard |. OF England, and
became her aditary in families in the year
1892. They took their rise from the
knights painting sheir banners with diff.
terent figures, to distinguish them in the
Crusades.
The standing army OF modern time
was established by Charles VII, of
France, in 1856. Previous to that time
the king had depended on his mobiles for
contingents in the time of war. A
standing army was first established in
England, in 1858, by Charles |, but it
was decided illegal, as well as The organ
ization Of Royal Guards, established in
1886.
Guns were invented by Swartz, a Ger
man, about the year 1868, and were
brought into use by the Vanetians, in
1892. CanInn were invented ~ an anita
rior date. They were first used at the
battle of Greasy, in 1916. In England
they were frs used at the siege Of Ber-
wick, in 400. 1t was not until 1914,
however, tina they we're cast in England.
They were u ed on board of ships by the
Y e%nitians, IL 1875, and were in use
among the Turks about the same time
An artillery company was instituted in
England for weekly exercise in 1910.
