LLOYD MITCHELL OF OLD TINES
Some months ago Mrs. Sallie Lamar, of
Augusta, the widow of Colonel Thomas
G. Lamar, lpn. US her scrap book Of the
war; and in it, among other pleasing
"reminiscences, we find the following.
All our elderly and middle-aged people
remember Lloyd:
During the heaviest of tie firing from
Fort Sumter, as Colonel Lamar was
looking hastily around upon some of the
batteries, he approached soldier sta
toned by gun not pointed towards the
fort but located for other purpose. Know
ing the man, who was originally from
Edgefeld, he said to him, 'Hello there
Loyd, what in the thunder are you CO.
ing by that gun in the midst of this fire:
Jump into your rat hole. man, quick" "
But Lloyd remained immovable, and
looking askance at the excavation thus
recommended to his attention slowly re-
piled: "Not now, Colonel; the thing
might cave in, and then you see, some
day after the battle, they would may be
dig me up, and they would be sure to
say, well, here's Lloyd Mitchell, he run
away and buried himself for fear OF An
derson.' No, STREE; they put me by
this here gun, and mean to stay right
by it live or die" Colonel Lamar pass
ed on, and has since the battle requested
that Loyd's behavior should not 60 un,,

SAVING AND SPENDING.-It is not
true that the great victories of life are to
the sharp and immoral man, as rule.
Here and there, oy sharpness and cum
ming, men rise into wealth, but that
wealth is not Of kind to remain. 1t
takes certain amount of virtue, of self
denial, of morality to lay up and keep
money. In the lives of nearly all rich
men there have been periods of heroic
self-denial, of patient industry, Of Chris
tian prudence. Circumstances did not
make these men rich. The highest moral
prudence made them rich. While their
companions were dancing away their
youth, or drinking away their middle age,
these men were devoted to small econo-
mise-putting self indulgence entirely
aside. If our correspondent or our
readers will recall their companions, we
think the first fact they will be impress
ed with is the measure of equality with
which they started in the race for COM
potency or wealth.
The next fact they will be impressed
with is the irregularity of the end. Then
if they make an inquisition into tho
causes of the widely varying results, they
will be profoundly impressed with the
insignificant part circumstance" have
played in those results. Circumstances
why, the rich mans son who had all the
circumstances" of the town has become
beggar. The poor, quiet lad, the only
son of his mother, and she widow,
who could only earn money enough to
procure for her boy the commonest ed
ucation, is @ man OF wealth and has be-
come patron of his native village. The
man who possesses and practices virtue
makes his own circumstances. The self.
denying, prudent man creates around
himself an atmosphere Of safety where
wealth naturally takes refuge-provided
of course, that the man has the power to
earn it, either in production or exchange
of any kind of manual or intellectual
service. e.-,ScriJner.

The Proprictors of the Nems and Courier
offer 800, IN gotl, for the best Serial Story,
written by q resident of South Carolina, il
Illustrative OF Southern life, before, during or
since tho war. The conditions are Us fol-
lows:
/. The story to consist of not less than
twenty chapters averaging ten pages of fool
soap or the equivalent.
2. The manuscript to he sent to the pro-
prietors OF the -Ncics and Courier not later
than April next.
3. Each manuscript to he accompanied by
Il sealed envelope containing the real name
and the address Of the author. and bearing
on the outside motto, which shall likewise
be placed upon the manuscript; the sealed
envelope to he opened only when the award
has been made.
4. The stories to be read by committee
of three residents of Charleston, selected By
the proprictors OF the Nc,US and Courier, who
will make their decision on or before April
18th.
5. The story which shall be declared to be
the best to be the absolute property Of the
propric;ors Of the Ncws a'a CoWicr and
published as q serial in the Weekly Nc,cs.
Rejected manuscripts to be returned FORTH
with to the authors.
In making this proposition the object is
to encourage, as far rs practicable, the de-
yclopmcnt of literature in South Carolina,
and to give tie reading public, through the
Weekly Nems, tales of Southern life which
shall preserve the recollection of traits of
character and social peculiarities and habits
fast passing away, and keep before the rising
generation the memory of n struggle more
glorious than that of the Revolution and of
suiIcrings greater than those which were
borne by the men Of Sevcnty-siX. Should
the experiment now made prove successful,
the prOrrictors of the Ntws dI.d Courier will
hope to extend the literary field and enlist
rs contributors to the Weekly Ncps the most
brilliant writers in the whole South.

TIE LOUISIANA TRIALs.-Gov. Mich
oils, of Louisiana, has ADDRESSED letter
TO President Hayes in which, referring
To the prosecutions now pending in the
Circuit Court of the United States against
citizens of Louisiana, lie expressed pro-
found regret that in in matter of so
much Importance Judge of tho Sa-
preme Court of the United States should
not be present To participate in the de-
cision of the vital question which the
cases involve so as to afford the amplest
opportunity of having them passed upon
by the highest tribunal of the Supreme
Court of the United States. Gov Mich
oils declares that any decision which
might be rendered in those cases, rest
ting upon a mere concurrence of opinion
of two judges of interior jurisdiction,
(the effect of which concurrence would
be to bar the presentation of tho legal
questions involved to the Supreme Court
Of the United States,) would not carry
with it the weight and authority which
the Importance of the issues raised and
the sense of justice and right of the
American people absolutely and imper-
atively require.

A RIVAL TO THE BYCYcLE.-The
newspaper carrier who serves papers to
attendants in the permanent exhibition
building goes his rounds at the rate of
twelve miles an hour. He travels on
machines not unlike rollcrskates, which
are called pedomotors, according to the
inventor, j. II. Hobb, all architect on
Walnut street above Fifth. The day is
not far distant, predicts the Philadelphia-
Record, when the whole city will be on
wheels, when pedestrians will be skim
ming through the streets at the rate of
ten miles an hour, without more effort
than is now put forth in perambulating
half that distance.
The pedomotor consists of four tough,
light woodeiiowheels, supplied with an
outer rim of tough India rubber. These
wheels are secured to frame the shape
of the foot, which is strapped to the pedal
extremities in the usual manner. Un-
like roller-skates, the wheels Of these lit.
tie vehicles arc not under, but are placed
on each side of the foot, thus giving
the wearers a good standing, as we'll as
a solid footing. The rear wheels are
three inches in diameter, while those in
front are buttwo and half inches. This
gives the foot slight incline, and when
in motion has much to do in impelling
the pedestrian forward. Extending from
the toe, with a slight curl toward the
ground, is piece of casting termed the
pusher, which is simply used in mount
ing an elevation or steep incline. From
the centre of the heel small brass weel
extends backward, serving as q guide as
we'll as brake. The whole scarcely
turns the scale at a pound weight. In
using them, no more effort is required
Than in ordinary walking. The wearer
steps with his regular stride, and is
amazed to f6d himself skimming over
the ground so rapidly with so little mus
cular effort. Mr.. Hobbs explains the
mystery of the rapid movement in this
manner: A man whose stride is thirty
two inches will traverse forty. eight
inches, or one.half further, with the Pc
domotor. This is because the body is in
constant motion. For instance, says be,
the traveller starts, and while lie raises
one foot to step, he continues rapidly
onward until that foot is set down and
the other raised to make another step.
This gives him more momentum, and
away he goes over the two miles in the
same time to accomplish mile with the
feet. No effort of the body is required
for their use, as in skates. The traveller
simply puts one foot before the other,
and finds himself whizzed along at u
lively rate.--Scientifc american.

NIGHT Work on MORNING NEwspA-
PERs.-Rev. Dewitt Talmage, in his
pictures of the "Night Side of New
York." thus discourses on the night
work in newspaper offices:
"We went in. We went up from
editorial rooms to type-setters' and proof
readers lofts. These are the foundries
where the great thunderbolts of public
opinion are forged. How pens scratched !
How the types clicked! How the scis-
sors cut! How the wheels rushed, all
the worlds news rolling over the cylin-
der-like Niagara at Table Rock. Great
torrents of opinion, of crimes, of acci-
dents, of destroyed regulations, of
avenged character. Who can estimate
the mightiness for good or evil of n daily
newspaper Fingers of steel picking
off the end> of telegraphic wire facts of
religion and philosophy and science, and
information from the four winds ofhcav-
en-! In 1850 the Associated Press began
to pay 100000 year for news, some Of
thcindividual sheets paying S50,OOO extra
for dispatches some Of them, indepen-
dent of the Associated Press, with wire
rake gathering up sheaves of news from
all the great harvest fields of the world.
Il is high time that good men undes-
stood that the printing press is the nigh
ticst engine Of all the centuries. High
water mark of the printers type case
shows the ebb or flow of the great ocean
ic tides of civilization or Christianity.
Just think of it! In 1886 all the daily
newspapers of New York issued but 10,-
900 copies. Now there are 100000, and
taking the ordinary calculation that Eve
people read each paper, two million five
hundred thousand people read the daily
newspapers ofNew York Nothing more
impressed me in the night explora-
ton than the power of the press. But it
is carried on with, oh what aching eyes,
what exhaustion OF health l did not
find more than one man out Of ten who
had anything like brawny health in the
great newspaper establishments Of New
York. Do not begrudge the three or
the five cents you give for the nc@spa-
per. You buy not only intelligence
with that, but you help pay for slleepicsS;
nights, and smarting eyeballs, and racked
brain, and rlysepulcher.

A gentleman in this city is in commu-
nication with the committee from the asso-
citation Of shoemakers in Lynn, Massachu-
sets, who have been appointed TO visit
the South with Il view to locating 4 large
branch of their business in some of our
cities or towns. He has offered them such
inducements as to render it certain that
they will at least not fail to stop in Char
lotte and examine into the advantages
which this place affords for their pur-
pose. This is a matter which may be
productive of great results to Charlotte,
and we are confident that our business
men will exert themselves to show fully
the claims which the city affords. The
association which this committee repre-
sents is large and wealthy organization,
and the establishment of a branch Of
their business in this locality would be a
decided advantage to several branches
of Charlotte Observer.
