IN ES4s:PLE FOR YOUNG MEN.
The young men of our country
will find in the biography of the
late General John E. Wool many
acts worthy of imitation, but none
more SO than his economical habit
and his determination through
life to secure pecuniary indepen-
dence for his declining years. At
the close of tho war of 1912, Gen.
Wool was taken home TO be treat
ed for terrible wounds received in
battle. When he was Gonzales
cent he had to pay a surgeons
bill which left him almost without
a dollar. AS soon as he was we'll
enough, the Government sent him
on a military mission to the West,
where he remained for FIVE years,
and never drew his pay in full,
but took enough only to defrav
actual expenses. At the close of
his appointment the United States
owed him $4,000. "This," said
Gen. Wool, jus: before he died,
was the only money l ever mado
in the whole course of my life
But always kept that out in safe
investment, at good interest. In
fifty years this $4,000 has grown
to S7OO,OO0." Here, then, was
the secret of his great wealth,
which not only astonished his
friends, but hundreds of military
men who served with him, and
who had superior opportunities for
making money. If any of our
young readers can put away 81 900
now, they will find themselves
rich when old and feeble, even if
they add nothing to the nucleus
after the first investment,

Lexington in the General Assem-
bly,, first as member Of the House
of Representatives, and then in the
Senate of the State. If we may
refer, with propriety, at all, to his
recent political relations, we may
record the fact that he was elected,
with great unaninity, by the Re-
publican party, in 1868, to the Of
flee of Lieutenant, Governor, and,
under the constitution, became er
o6icio, President of the Senate,
over, which body he presided with
entire acceptability and success.
The hearts Of his surviving family
and friends, and of. a stricken peo-
pie, are weighed down with sor-
row, but are comtorted in the re.
Election that above the gloom of
the grave shines the light of pure
and honest life.

sometimes consent to give the

that he conceived tho necessity OF

Of storing bis .provender but on

THE BLUE RIDGE RAIL ROAD
1t is now we'll understood that a
better route can be found for this
road than the old one. The new
route commences near the depot.
at this place, and in.ersects with
the original line eighteen miles
west of this point. BY this ar
rangement, the Stumphouse .tun-
nels and the two intermediate ones
can be avoided. Two miles in dis
tance can be saved by the change,
and the cost Of the new route over
the completion of the old one is
about the same.
We rejoice in being able to
make this statement by authority.
1t will destroy the prejudice en-.
gendered against this enterprise
on account of the assumed imprac-
ticability of boring through the
Stumphouse tunnel. Besides we
have assurances from more quar-
ters than one, that the road will be
completed at an early day.
Locally the proposed change of
route will throw the track in or
near town and with it a change of
depot.-Keoaoee Courier.

We arc grieved to be compelled
to announce to our readers the
death, on Sunday evening last, OF
Hon. Lemuei Boozer, Judge of the
Fifth Circuit of the Court Of Com.
mon Pleas and General Sessions,
while holding court in Camden.
A good citizen, an intelligent law.
yer, a capable and impartial Judge,
t h great destroyer, in striking
him down, has subjected the whole
State to a inournfnl calamity, GOV.
ering all the people with gloom.
Although Republican in politics,
we thank God that, in tho sterling
vigor of his moral constitution, he
was able to lift his mind far above
the murky region of party politics,
in the administration of the great
office Of a Judge, and to keep his
judicial robe folded around him
pure and unspotted even unto
death. What q solace this con.
sciousness must have been to him.
as all morta! hopes and aspirations
were passing forever awayl Judge
Boozer's mind was not brilliant.
but hi, judgment was sound and,
although his learning m ay not
have been 80 varied and attractive
as that of some others Of the legal
profession, yet upon the Bench he
was found to be fully equal to the
high tasks of his position, and, af
ter argument, capable of clear dis.
elimination and correct decision.
The qualities, too, of patience,
courtesy and IN ercy eminently
adorned him as a Judge, whilst
the social elements of his charac.
ter enlivened his companions and
made him acceptable on all occa-
sions. 1t must, indeed, be very
grateful to the feelings of hii
friends of the Columbia Bar, now
that the grave has intervened be
tween him and them, to remembe,
how thoroughly he had won their
kindest consideration and how suit
ably they expressed it to him a
the close of a laborious extra tern
of his Court, in this place, in Au.
gust last. Judge Boozer was a ma
tive South Carolinian, having beer
born in Lexington District, I

FIeuT THE DEVIL WITH FIRE.

There lived many years ago, in

what are you going after, and all
other questions that could be i'm
agincd in reference to the neigh
borhood, or the business of other
people. Having myself 80 often
undergone this unpleasant ordeal
with the old Captain, 1 resolved
on q very cold morning, in attend
ing a hasty call, that in passing his
place / would play the same game
Of annoyance that he g o m h
practiced on others. So riding ur
in great haste with my messenger
with me, l called to him to please
walk to the gate in haste, as I was
IN a very great hurry. He came
ont in haste, when informed him
that Mrs. q. was very i'll, and thai
was then on my way to see her
reigning mp my horse and bidding
him good morning. The old Cap
tain looked agbast an d replied
" Go on, you saucy buck" 1t il

chap, so far rs I was Individually
