There is no politics in the high license dis
cussion. Cheap whisky is a misery that invades
the household without reference to political or
religious opinion. 1t should be cast out as it
comes in, without any entangling consideration
of other matters not pertinent to the main
question.

The Surviving Generals.

The only two great commanders now
living who faced each other in making
the thrilling and crmsoned annals of
the late civil war are Gen. William T.
Sherman and Gen. Joseph E. Johnston.
Grant met Lee, Joseph Johnston, Albert
Sidney Johnson, Beauregard, Bragg and
Pemberton in battle as chief command
ers, and of them Joseph E. Johnston,
Beauregard and Buckper survive.
Meade, who met the terrible shock of
battle at Gettysburg, was borne to the
City of the Dead within short time of
the imposing pageant that committed
the dust of Lee to the mother earth, and
Thomas and Hood, who fought the last
great battle of the war at Nashville,
both sleep the dreamless sleep of the
dead. Sherman and Johnston alone re-
main of the great commanders who
locked horns with each other in the fame
of battle. Their campaign from Chat
tauooga to Atlanta, and from Atlanta to
the sea was the most brilliant of the war,
and they are the only two great command
ers who are left to sit down and talk their
battles over, as they often do in the
heartiest good fellowship. Of the many
commanders of the heroic Army of the
Potomac, none remain, with the single
exception of General Mcclellan. Soft,
Mcdowell, Burnside, Hooker, Meade
and Grant, who in turn commanded that
magnificent army, have all gone to join
the great majority, and Longstreet is the
only one of Lees great lieutenants who
lipger with the living. Jackson, Hill,
Ewell and Stuart, who were in the great
conflict of the Army of Virginia, rest
with their great chieftain in the Old Do
minion. Joseph e. Johnston and G. T.
Beauregard are the only surviving Con-
fedcrate commanders who led great arm
les to battle, and they are whitened by
the frost of time.-Philadelphia Times

The Governor Ought to Sec Him.

Simon Gardner, citizen of Blossom
Cove, recently addressed an important
letter to the Governor. The following is
an extract from tho communication
II have this day named fine boy
after you. He is as lively as harvest
hands appetite, and can squall louder
than goat. How do wish you could
see him. His mother was dead set on
naming him after his Uncle John because
John Keeps store, but says, No, 40,
mother says /, we will name him after
the, Governor of this here State. We
amt never showed our respect for none
Of the Governors, and it's high time, let
me tell you What's the use in naming
him after the Governor says mother.
He will forgit it in five minutes, and
never will send the child nothing and he
is needing of everything Tut, mother,
John won't give him anything yes,
he WILL mother says. wouldn't give
in, though, and now the child is named
after you. How l wish you could see
him. 1t would tickle you mighty nigh
to death. He is mighty scarce o duds
but he's got a voice like a calf. He is
the peartest chap ever seen in my born
days. Mother wants to bet me that you
won't send him nothing, but don't bet
sense 1 tuck to preaching. She lows
that you air stingy, but | know heep
better than that. If you want to disap.
point mother send-I was going to say,
send down something. but never mind.
How do wish you could see him. -

elsewhere. Liked by everybody as a
gambler. Loved by every one who knew
him as Christian gentleman. IF he
we're Christian. Some say he wasn't.
I say he was. I don't believe such a
man could be hypocrite. He was
square as gambler, and more than
square, if that can be, as respectable
citizen. He had wife and family to
support, and he did it. He made his
money gambling, it is true, but he used
it right. Gus Sayers or Charles Norton,
whoever he was, nobler man never
lived. He was no common scrub. He
was gentleman by nature. There is
one in hundred thousand, though he
may lead two lives"

Suit for Custody of Children.

About year ago Mr.. John A.. Calla-
ham, a respectable citizen living in tue
upper portion of this Coasss the.
Anderson line, decided to move to Geor.
gia. His wife. had died short time
before, leaving him three children of
very tender age, the eldest being onHs
five years old. Before leaving for GesaN]
gia, Mr.. Callahan committed the care Enss
these infants to their maternal grad $
mother, Mrs. Tucker. Having resid
in Georgia some time, Mr.. Callahal
married again, and having home pre-.
pared to receive them, very naturally
desired the care and custody of his chill;
dren. But on the other hand, Miss
fuckers motherly affection had twiaiM
very closely about these three little bols,
and she resolved not to permit them to
submit to the rule of STEP mot&er, ard :
the more effectually and securely % ra.
tain possession of them, she obtained iys
petition to the Probate Court of q lls-
County letters Of guardianship forES Ebdh
the persons and estates of these infanls.
The guardian actually and formalIy, ao-
pointed for the children was hey son,
James R. Tucker, who resides with her.
Suit was instituted by the father III tile
Probate Court for the revocation of this;
guardianship, and in the Common Fle,s
for the possession of the children on
writ Rabeas Corpus. Boths-cases DIN
for trial on Wednesday Of last week. .sa H.
proved to be both novel and intensssns MM MM
The petitioner, Mr.. Callahan, BY hisa
torneys, Messrs. Calhoun & Mabsis
alleged as grounds for revocation
guardianship, went of notice, absence9sf
jurisdiction in the Court, and antagd
ism of property interests between d
guardian and the wards. The ,espdI.
dents were represented by w. 81. Parsa
Esq, in the absence Of Benet & Smia
and after 8 learned argument on, b9
sides, the Court decided to revoke
letters of guardianship as prayed RliI
the petitioner. The records show
no such case had ever before been N
in that Court, and neither the SIy1 =
of the State nor the decisions rs
Courts threw any light on the caseS j.
Ra5eas Corpus case was trieSl lS
Judge Cothran at chambers, MI r.
Calhoun & Mabry for Callahan,
toner, and w. II. Parker, Esq, forn
respondents. After hearing argul
on both sides, the Judge decided that fay
children must be delivered to the father,
although it was hard to deprive the aged
grandmother of her little motherless
grandchildren, whom she naturallysre-'
garded with so much affection. As soon
as the decision was pronounced, g most.
affecting scene followed. The grailds.
mother and her daughters clung to9the:
little children, weeping bitterly.
While all concurred in acknowledging
the legal right of the father to the chill
dren, there was no one present who did
not sympathize with the grief of the,
aged grandmother. The argument of
the counsel on either side was exhaustive
in both cases, and the case attracted;
much attention from the novelty OF the
proceedings and the respectability of tho
parties. Press and Banne,r.

Value of Cotton Seed Meal as ManGse,

one question of great Importance, p

seed is worth twelve dollars per t
is cotton seed meal worth Al.
have tried to have it answered -
have failed.-W. NJ. w.. Noakud
Answer.-On this basis mentidl
ton seed meal is worth $50 ton, T.
ing in a general way. 1t is som ign6a!
difficult to compare whole cotton seed
meal as manure. When one desires q
quick acting fertilizer, the meal is tEeA
better of the two. Where y slower 5acs
tion is desired, the whole seed are better.
For instance, whole seed would be better
than meal to plow in with small grsinsin 8

The Mason Harvester aud Gin.

Since last year the Cotton Harvester
Company, which controls the patents on
G. r. Mason's cotton harvesting machine,
has pushed the work Of perfecting the
machine and protecting it with American
and foreign patents. Last Winter the
company constructed new iron shop at
Sumter and equipped it with the neces.
sary machinery to enable Mr.. G. L. Ma
son, with the aid of skilled mechanics, to
overcome the defects in the last years
machine.
1t is with pride and qualification that
we can say that the new machine has just
been tested at Sumter, S. c., where the
workshops of the company are located
and that it is q perfect and practical
success. The application of the princi-
pie used in last years machine has been
entirely changed TO meet the defects
which then presented themselves, but for
obvious reasons the company has decided
to make no publication concerning the
machine as now constructed, and has
closed the doors of its shops against all
visitors. 1t is the purpose of the compa-
ny, if possible, to construct suitable
works in or near Charleston at an early
day TO manufacture the machine for the
next crop.-NeWs and Courier.

saying a word. The paper stated that
there was not any more sougs and prayers
that night. The meeting broke up, and
such was the excitement that the Ken
tuckian would have been lynched had it
not been for the interference Of Gus, who
told the people to let him alone, that he
would explain all the next day; and the
fellow seeing what storm he had raised
was glad to escape with his life. He
was never seen afterward, for if he had
been some of the boys would have killed
him.

called at Gus house for an explanation.

Gus excused himself for o moment and
stepped into the hallway. A report of
pistol was heard. Hurrying out of the
room they found poor Gus lying flat of
his back, pistol clenchcd in his right

blown off. His wife and two children
had heard the shot. and came from the
room to ascertain The cause. Mrs. Nor
ton threw herself, shrieking on the dead
body of her husband, and the children
crouched down by his side, calling him

scribed as horrible. The wife and two
children, by embracing the dead body,
became stained with blood, and it was
with difficulty that they we're torn away.

REST IN ACTION.

Absolute Rest and Perpetual Activity
Equally Incompatible With Life.
Absolute perpetual rest and absolute
perpetual activity are equally incom-
patible with life. Each, duly balanced,
is the complement of the other. Sleep
is simply rest in its completest form
rest of muscle, rest of brain and rest OF
all the organs, save those necessary to
existence. The tough heart rests be-
tween the beats, nor can it be much ac-
CELEBRATED by stimulants without imme-
date or remote injury. The harder
working lungs rest between inspiration
and expiration.
The brain must have rest, or fail.
Such case of unresting activity as that
of Henry Kirke White-and there have
been thousands like it-should show
scholars that nature holds it an unpar-
donable sin to rob the brain of its right
full rest. Others, who toiled like White,
instead of paying the penalty in early
death, have exchanged genius for mad
ness or imbecility.
But a large part of our needed rest
may be secured in connection with a
high degree of activity. The clerk
threatened with writers cramp' may
escape, not SO well by lying for month
in a reclining-chair as by engaging in
athletic games, chopping wood, or
rambling in the forests.
Generally only small part of the
brain is unduly used, and that may be
recuperated by calling into action some
other part; that is. by change of mental
application. Gladstone doubtless rests
his brain from the cares of State as
much by such studies as Homer as by
the sturdy blows of his ak. The pas
tors calls at the homes of his flock not
only double the good of his preaching,
but most effectually rest his brain by
the change.
The mere money-getter tends to be-
come monomaniac. The miser dying
in filth and rags beside his boarded
gold, is the end of avarice. The power
and the dispos ton to accumulate need
to be balanced by the disposit'o on and
the power to use acquisitions properly
and wisely.
Ii one has overworked both stomach
and brain. let him beware howhe Yields
to the temptation to stimulate them
artiticially to their wonted activity. On
the contrary, let him give each long
rest, while he bestirs himself to gen
eral inauguration of his physical system.
So whatever organ has been over
used, rest that. And this can CON-
monty hest be done in connection with
a full, or special. activity of other
parts Youths Companion.

THY FOLD.


All through the day the storm-cloud slowly
fills;
Ever among the mists we blindly grope,
Hungry. and cold, searching mid towering
hills,
Till, with our erring mind-no faith, no
We lose Thy fold.
Faster the gray clouds press the snow-drifts
And thro' the darkness beams no welcome
star,
Thro' the long night our weary footsteps
quicken;
Having no lamp, we know not where we
Show us Thy foldl
Still do we lwander, tho our hearts are bleed
Over The forests wide and prairies drear,
= Till our blanched cheek, and lip that quakes
with fear,
Plead for Thy fold
The sweet young grass blades wither, droop
The sharp rocks pierce our feet SO sadly
sore,
And when the darkness shows that night is
nigh,
o Shepherd, guide us, that we stray no
more
Far from Thy fold
o Father, hearken to our earnest cries,
Give us Thy hand, cast fear from out our
hearts,
In pity lead us when the light departs
Into Thy fold

The Bible.

The revision of the early Protestant
versions of the Bible in different coun-
tries, and the widespread interest felt
in the work among all classes, are
among the many signs that the Script
ures are not losing their hold upon the
minds of men. The study Of compare
tive religion does not operate to weaken.
it rather tends to increase, the influence
and authority of the Christian Bible. Les
any one attempt to read the Koran, and
he win rise from the effort with pro-
founder sense of the depth of power
that belongs to the writings of thH
Prophets and Apostles. Editions Of
heather scriptures and excerpts from
heather sages which have been some
times put forth as rivals Of the Bible
bring no very large profit to editors
or publishers. The Bible remains 4
well-spring of spiritual life The con
yiction is not likely to be disIodged that
within its hallowed pages life and iin-
mortality are in truth brought to light
The progress of culture and civilization
in the lapse of ages does not lessen the
worth of the treasure which they con
