But, perhaps, you never knew how
near jackson came to accepting your chal-

On the contrary" Walker answered,
II don't suppose he ever gave it serious
thought. Considering the disparity in
our years and position at that time. 1
presume he treated it, as he should have
done, with quiet contempt
you never were more mistaken in
your life," quickly spoke Stuart, he
aoas three days debating aDhether he should
fight you or not. He came to my room sew
eral times to consult me about it; and
had the greatest difficulty in restraining
him from replying to your demand. He
would listen to my arguments and remon-
strances in an abstracted manner. but eg-
cry now and then he would reply in a
quiet but determined way: "7he QOuao
gentleman thinks he has been inSulted and
demands satisfaction, reckon he ought to
haoe 1t I" l finally succeeded in my efforts
but you can rest assured that If he had
followed the bent of bis own opinions and
inclinations your challenge would have
been accepted and you would have had
satisfaction to your hearts content.
The stirring events of the war after
wards frequently threw these two gallant
officers together and in their zeal and de
votiOn to the common cause of their coun-
try they buried their former enmity, and.
at last, became fast friends. The feuds OF
the past were forgotten in the dangers OF
their present, and each united with the
other in patriotic ardor and chivalrous,
unselfish efforts to secure the success Of
the arms and the establishment of South
ern independence.

1t was still warm and lying just inside,
the field against the fence, which separ-.

to Folly Mills. It had been shot IN thes
forehead with a load of small slot and the,

Mr.. Kayser bought the bull in New

Please allow me space in your columns
to make some inquiry as to petition sent
to tina City Council three months ago and
which, assn It yet received an answer. 1
would lHke you to inform me why 1t Is that
every city in the State shows more favor
to the coiOred military organizations than
the city, of Staunton? The Adjutant Cen
eral Of the State wrote ME to ask the CITY
Council to pay the rent of our armory,
and went to the clerk Of that Honora-
ole Body and got him to write the petit
tlon, but have not heard from it since
We have 48 men in uniform and have
been paying S. M. Wilkes $l6,66 per
month for rent of our armory. THIS com
pany was organized July 10Th, 1882, in &C
cordance with the State law, and it's term
Of enlistment will expire July 10Th, 1887.
We are now paying $3.50 per year rent for
an armOry over the ten pin alley at
Burke's livery stable. We are also now
unlfOrmiug our company in the new State
regulation uniform, and would like for the
city to help us.
l do not see any reason why there
should be any prejudice as TO the progress
q the colored military organizations here.
l am sure we try to be peaceful and quiet
citizens, and hope ever to be.

Challenging Stonewall Jackson.

We copied last week from the Rich
mond Estate" a "Reminiscences of diff.
Guilty at the Virginia Military Institute
in ante bellum days, between James A.
Walker. then cadet from Augusta coun-
ty, and Prof. T. J. Jackson. 1t was er-
roneously stated that Gen. Walker knock.
ed the Professor down and his diploma
was withheld for it, The WythevilIe En-
terprise" Says this is an error and gives
the following true version of the difficulty,
which it gets from perfectly reliable
source:
The quarrel between them originated in
the lecture room at the Virginia Military
Institute, and grew out of dispute about
the correctness of demonstration of
some mathematical problem by Walker,
who was, at the time, a cadet at this in
stitution. This demonstration the Pro-
fessor, then known as Major Jackson
asserted to be wrong. Walker, whose
standing in mathematics was high, insist
ed that it was right and demanded that
JACKSON should point out any error that
existed in it. One word led to another and
Waller was finally ordered to his room
under arrest Tor impertinence and "dlsre-
spectful conduct TO superior"
These charges were preferred against
him and be was expelled from The LDsti-
tute; but upon his trial he subjected their
author to such severe and rigid cross
examination that the witness finally lost
his temper and gave the fiery cadet a
direct insult. This was more thaa human
nature could bear: He kpew that his dem
onstration of the problem was correcs,
he believed that his quarrel was just. and
that the order of dismissal from the Insti-
tute was deliberate wrong. He was not
in frame of mind then that could tameIy
submit to having insult added to injury
and be determined at ones to pursue the
only eosrss, as he then thought, left open
to him-and this was to demand satisfac-
" from Jackson. So lie challenged him

Farmers Club.

The monthly meeting of the Belmont
County Farmers Club was held in the
Mayors office on Saturday afternoon, at
o'clock. Mr. Henry Morgan, the treas
urer, reported the expenses of the Insti-
tute fully met.
The question of Economy in the win
ter feeding of farm stock" was opened
by Young, in carefully prepared
paper advocating more attention to the
comfort OF the horse-a greater variety
of food with regularity in feeding and
watering, and daily exercise when not
working. The question was discussed
by Messrs McKelvey, Denham and Gift
fin, and the subject carried forward to
the next meeting to be re-opsned by
Henry NJ Daniels who will present some
profitable experience in economical feed
ing.
Mr. Joseph Fl Dsnham followed upon
economy in the feeding of cattle; he be-
lieved for dairy purposes the stables
should be warmed with stoves if the
temperature fell below the freezing
point; thought coal cheaper fuel than
corn, and the additional flow of milk
would more than com pensate for the
additional expense. He also recon-
mended the cutting of all fodder and the
grinding of al grain. Mr. Denham gave
an experience in sowing cern for fodder;
he believed that acres cultivated for
fodder would yield q greater quantity
than was ordinarily obtained from nine
acres cultivated for corn. Mr. Denham
believed Silos had come to stay, and pur
posed constructing one as an experiment
next summer.
Msssrs Daniels, Fawcett. Worley and
Taggart discussed the subject, criticising
Mr. Denham's position upon corn fodder
culture. Mr. Daniels believed that with
the rich soil of Belmont county it would
be more profitable to raise corn. Mr. Nc
Kelvey asked the question, Would not
a Weld of so bushels of corn per acre
acre purchase more fodder at the aver
age per shock than could be grown upon
the same ground if cultivated for fodder
only?" Pending the discussion the
meeting adjourned until the second Sat
urday in March, when the question will
be re-OpeDsd-Amos Fawcett leading
upon economy in feeding hogs, followed
by John Watson and Emmett Giffin upor
feeding sheep.
