The voice of spring has undoubtedly
been heard in the land and the uncer-
tain glory of an April day gives prom
Use of an early summer. The green
yule of u singnlarly mild winter has
not Is yet fulfilled the predictions OF
those who looked for u singularly I'M
healthy spring. Still the doctor m
up smiling and rubs his hands at the
prospects of mountain fever, lung
racking colds and pneumonia. He
hoes not yet despair, and rs he anx
iouslyinquircs of his trusty apothecary
how much demand there is for quiz
nine, lie mentally consoles himself
with the hope that in the absence of
other ills he can yet fall back upon
spring fever and general debility.

THE IRON CHEST.
BY AN OLD CONTRIBUTOR.
CHAPTER TX.

I will pass over the next two years, during
which continued my collegiate course, re-
turning home for the vacations, and finding
everything there going on as usual. l per-
suaded my friend Seiwyn to accompany me
on the last of these occasions, and pay US
visit of few days. He could not remain
longer on account of other engagements. de
made himself very agreeable, and quite won
my mothers favor, but fancied that neither
Olivia or Rudolph were particularly impress
ed with him, though they did not express
themselves to this effect.
My last term was nearly expired, and was
anticipating all the glories Of graduating with
distinction, and retiring, crowned with honor
from the field of competition, when was sud-
denly summoned home to attend my mothers
last hours, she having been seized with vio'
lent illness, from which there was no hope OF
her recovery. I cast all other thoughts to
the winds, and full of melancholy expectation,
set out Immediately on my journey, unde.
very different auspices from those which had
hoped would attend it. 81
reached home to find this beloved parent
still alive, and in full possession Of her senses
but rapidly sinking under the fatal pressure
of disease. She was free from pain, and vel
coined me with smile angelically sweet.
"Thank God you are come, my Phillip,
she said, as embraced her. 1T was my one
fervent wish, that I might see you again, and
now it is grati6ed. Do not shed those tears
for me-" she added, seeing that I wept; 81
am quite happy and content, and we must re-
member that our parting is but for time.
Alas it was for Eternity, but she knew il
not.
Three mournful days passed away, and on
the evening of the third she called me to her
side, desiring to speak to me alone.
"Philip, dearest child" she said, in weak
tones, as I clasped her dying hand. Il have
a very earnest wish in my heart, that would
impart to you before am called away. You
know you have ever been my favorite son,
though your good brother has also been a
dear and dutiful child. Your future welfare
concerns me much, and have long secretly
cherished plan for your happiness, which it
would console me, in parting from you, to
hope might be fulfilled. 1t concerns also the
happiness Of another"
'Tell me what it is, dearest mother" re-
piled.
She was silent for moment, then said
"You love Olive, Phillip, do you not~
eyes" answered. II am very fond Of
her."
"Philip, would have you make her your

the enemy. The British fell back few PAGES.
A sergeant of the royal army then announced
to the Americans that if they would surreisss
der they should have honorable quarters.
"By what authority" inquired Captain Barn
well, "do you make this promise' What is
your rank p It was replied, 81 am but
sergeant in his majesty service, but my word
is as good as that of any oficerin the army"
This assurance having been given of their
safety, Captain Barnwell and his men sur.
rendered. No sooner had they laid down
their arms than they were set upon BY the
British, with bsyonets, and nearly all either
killed or severely wounded. Captain Barn
we'll received seventeen bayonet wounds, snd
was left on the ground supposed to be dead.
He, however, afterwards recovered.
Connected with this affair of Captain Mat.
thews with the British at Johns Island, there
are several little incidents which are not
wholly without interest. The name of the
second sentinel with whom the British came
in contact, in their approach to the camp of
Captain Matthews, was james Black. He
was brave man and uid his duty to his
country faithfully He was ship carpenter
By trade and resided in Beaufort. One of
the many wounds which he received was
bayonet stab in the feshy part of his back,
the point of the bayonet going towards the
back bone Ths-wounds Of bravo mon
were afterwards dressed and he was sent to
Charleston. In order to keep the wound
open the surgeon, or whoever it Was that
dressed it, inserted piece Of gentian root,
several inches long, in the cavity made by
the bayonet This was not discovered for
some time, and the gentian root becoming sat-
urated with blood, increased in size and tore
the wound asunder, causing great infamma'
tim and much pain. The gentian root was
taken out, but the inflammation had reached
the spinal.marfow and james Black died.
Robert Barnwell was, as we have already
stated, stabbed with seventeen bayonet
wounds and supposed to be dead. He was
taken up and removed to the house Of Rob
ert Gibbs and kindly nursed by Mrs. Gibbs.
This suggests another noble deed that oc-
Cured in the Gibbs family. During the stay
of the British on Johns Island, the family Of
Robert Gibbs were forced, one dark night, to
leave the house and seek place Of refuge.
In their hurry to depart, they forgot an infant,
a distant relation of the family, in the house.
No one would volunteer to go back for the
child. The servants refused. Moved BY q
kind and plying heart, Mary Ann Gibbs, a
girl of only thirteen, faced the darkness Of
the night and went back, more than a mile
after the child. After being several times
refused by the occupants of the house, she
succeeded, at last, in obtaining permission to
enter the room in which the child had been
left. There she found the little fellow sleep.
ing soundly, unconscious of the booming Of
cannon and the clashing of arms. She took
him up in her arms and hastened to join the
other members of the family. This child,
thus rescued by Mary Ann Gibbs, was the
gallant Lieutenant-C Colonel Fenwick, of the
uar of 1910 ..-,..

ITO be Continued.]

The NEXT CorToN CRoP-The published
reports from the Southeast Atlantic ports in.
dicate that the movement of commercial fer
tilizers to the INTERIOR this year, is considera'
bly, larger than last year. This fact is al
ready the basis of considerable speculation,
inasmuch as the inference is drawn that an ef
fort will be made to make an unusually large
crop of cotton. This is not warranted by the
information in our possession.
We find that Northern manufacturers of
fertilizers have made large shipments to South
ern ports. These have generally passed into
the interior and, in some einstances, were Of
fered ut unusually low rates. But the great
er part of the shipments are believed to be in
the hands of agents awaiting buyers, and it
is reasonable to suppose that considerable
quantity will lie over until next season and
will not be taken up for consumption. In the
standard Charleston Phosphates, of various
kinds, no larger business than usual has been
done. In some cases there is marked de-
crease in the amount sold.
The planters are very poor. In this State
there is less money to-day than there was ten
years ago. There is not the means or the
credit to admit of an extraordinary outlay for
fertilizers, nor is there any disposition to force
the production of cotton. On the contrary.
the tendency, year by year, is to rely more
and more on small grain, and to make the
cotton an incident and not the main object of
the years work. This is very generally the
case, we presume, on the South Atlantic, and
our conclusion is that they who count on a
big cotton crop, because Of the shipment of
fertilizers this season, will surely be disap-
pointed Charleston Ne,us and Courier.
How TO BE M1sERABLE.-Think about
yourself about what you want, what you like,
what respect people ought to pay you, what
people think of you; and then to you nothing
will be pure. You will spoil everything you
touch; you will make sin and misery for your
self out Of everything which God sends you.
You will be as wretched as you choose, on
earth or in heaven either.

It was by pride, by seeking his own glory

officers snd engaged with them in converse
ton. Having learned all that he desired
respecting the position Of the forces under
the command Of Captain Matthews, he COM
municated the same to the British command
er on James Island. At midnight detach-
ment of the British, In two divisions, crossed
from James Island to Johns. One division
marched to Fenwick's house, the other to
Matthews landing. They were now in posi-
ton to surround the camp of the Americans.
Every preparation being made, Fenwick gave
the signal, and both divisions Of the British
commenced to march simultaneously on the
American camp. Fenwick, although he had
but few hours before supped in the Ameri-
can camp with the officers, acted as guide in
leading the British against his personal
friends and neighbors. The first sentinel was
taken by surprise, and the countersign extort-
ed from him. Before the second and only
remaining sentinel could give the alarm, he
was bayonetted. The sentinels thus removed,
the British were not long in surrounding the
camp of Capt. Matthews. Every man was
made prisoner.
The camp of the Beauforseompany, under
the command of Captain Robert Barnwell,
was then surrounded and dema6d dmadesfor
its immediate surrender. "What4set the con.
