Romantic Story of the War.

BRAINERD, Mimi, September PA
queer story Of the war of the rebellion
and the sundering it made of family
ties was brought to light here to-day
in the discovery and Identification of a
long missing heir to an estate in Virgil
MIA, recently become very valuable in
coal mines.
The estate was that of Pleasant
Williams, over on the Virginia side Of
the Cumberland Mountains, some
twenty miles out from Cumberland
Gap. When the war broke out William,
who was the elder son, was in school in
Kentucky, and espoused the Union
cause. He enlisted in Kentucky regl-
ment and served through the war. An
incident Of his soldier life was captur-
ing q brother in the battle of Perryville
who was in the Confederate army.
The war ruined his family's property,
and hearing Of the death of his father,
to whom he was greatly attached, this
Union son drifted away to the North
west, whence a report OF his death
reached his family. The ruined family
left Virginia and drifted to Missouri,
and the remaining Children prospered
and some got rich. In recent times coal
mines of great value were found under
lying the old plant alton, and a syndi-
cate purchased them for large sum,
but the title could not be perfected
without proof of the son Williams
death.
a search followed, which led from
clew to clew to the discovery of Will
liam Williams here, where he is work
ing as common laborer. E. 6. Wal
tiers, agent for the syndicate, who
found him, was accompanied by Will
liam's brother, John, who when the
two last met was a siX-year-old lad,
before the war broke out. The missing,
heir was paid over nice sum Of money,
and he is to receive on completion of
the papers a sufficiency to make him
we'll off for the rest of his life.

yestiges of an Ante-Indian in the Great
Northwest

CHICAGO, ILL.,, September so, 1855
Professor Henry Montgomery, OF the
University of North Dakota, is at the
Palmer. He talked freely Of his recent
discoveries near Devils Lake. He has
found the remains of an extinct race,
which, for the want ola better name, he
had called the mound builders. He has
been at work at these discoveries since
1883. He eXcavated tWenty-One mounds
last wear, and each mound averaged
fifty feet in diameter, with a range OF
from thirty to ninety feet, and was
five feet high. Seventy-one skeletons
of human beings were taken from these
mounds The sutures Of the skull were
quite distinct and were decidedly mark
ed in form. Implements of stone, bone,
copper, and some of birch bark, were
eycavated, as we'll as earthenware Of
skilful workmanship. The copper in
the tools was undoubtedly taken from
the rocks in the vicinity, as it is of the
same quality and fibre as that now pro-
duced. The Professor is Of the opinion
that these skeletons belonged to Mon
golian race, not such as the Chinamen
of to-day, but a larger sized people.
Some Of the skeletons were six feet IN
length. Buried in these mounds were
also skeletons of bears and other ami
mails, and as altars of clay were found;
1t is believed theseanimals were offered
as a sacrifice, and that many of the
mounds were sacrificed. Professor
MONTGOMERY is satisfied that city
once flourished there, and it is his in
tention to continue his explorations for
some time as there are more yet to De
ODened.

The Abbeville Press and Banner
thinks the Legislature could do the
public great service if Trial Justices
and constables were made salaried
officers. 1t thinks that by such a sys-
tenn fewer trifing cases would reach the
higher court and that there would be
less litigation. We are inclined to
agree with our cotemporary and yet
we believe that those who dance
should pay the piper. We know it
would be a good idea for the constables
of trial justices to be sworn in and
made bonded officers so that they
could be held responsible for their Off
cial acts and we are inclined to the
opinion that it would be well for both
constables and trial justices to be sal
aried but let the fee bill remain and
turn the costs over to the county treasu-

Gentlemen: Replying to yours of I'd
instant, in regard to those resolutions,
I will say: From information received
of reputable and trustworthy citizens,
and who vouched for all that is charged
in those resolutions, I did introduce
those resolutions at meeting referred
to.
I believe in equal and exact justice
to all men. I also believe in integrity,
truthfulness and honesty of purpose
in political as we'll as in private mat
ters.
I do not believe in what is called
crawfshing. But man or party Of
men who are il error, l think it is
manly and a noble act to acknowledge
it and then set themselves right as
speedily as possible.
Now, gentlemen, as far as to
my knowing individually of any of
those charges set forth in those (now
famous) resolutions, I know nothing.
Neither did l know at the time those
resolutions were presented who were
the vouchers referred to. They GER
tainly did not refer to any one vouch-
ing for simon-pure Democratic ne
gro.
A good many of you gentlemen [
have always considered to be
friends; and I recognize none of ycI
as personal enemies.
I acknowledge the fact that there
are always two sides to question.
I thought at the time that l was not
the proper one TO introduce those reso-
lutions-and my mind has not since
changed-for the reason that ! was not

was represented to be efacts. Rut, how
ever, when I presented those resolu-
tions to The meeting it was presumed
by the people that I was the father OF
them. And father of them I will be,
unless l see that it is dishonorable or
ungentlemanly or wrong to own such
a child.
But, on the other hand, if find that
those resolutions are not founded on
facts, I will disinherit them from that
time, hence forward and forever.
Hoping, gentlemen, that this will
prove satisfactory to your communica-
ton, am, yours respectfully,

Flour May Go to Ten Do liars Barrel.

MISSEApoLIs, MINI, Oct.5.-Every
one of the twenty-five immense -four
ing mills in this city is grinding to its
utmost capacity and putting out all the
flour it can. All the flour men say
they would not be surprised if flour
sold for $40 barrel before the advance
stopped. The highest price it has ever
touched at Minneapolis is So. G. A.
PiIlsbury said this morning in regard to
the advance; 1--WE have had quite a
little squall in prices, but that is moth
ing to the cyclone that is coming later.
Nv reason for thinking this is the fact
that there is not enough good miller's
wheat in this country to supply our
local demand for good flour, to say
nothing of the foreign demand, which
cuts no figure on the present crop, and
no matter how much they would offer
for our flour, our home trade must
have it at a higher price.

NEwBERRY, S. c., Oct. ?, 1888.
Mr.. w: A. Hil-Dear Sir. In. the
resolutions offered by yourself and
passed before meeting of citizens in
Mr.. H. II. Blease's office on September
first, you speak of those who vouch for
Democrat negroes at the primary
election held on the 28th Of August,
last, as irresponsible vouchers"
This is very harsh expression, as it
implies lack of moral character when
used in its common acceptation.
When citizens are fully conscious of
the rectitude of their conduct, and of
having abundant evidence to make
good everything they vouched for and
Of only having exercised their right
under the rules of the primary, they
are unwilling to be published to the
world as irresponsible persons.
After thinking the matter over, We
were reluctant to believe that you were
fully apprised of all the facts in the
case. And we hoped that you did not
intend to apply such language to any
of your fellow Democrats.
We therefore write to ask if you had
reference to any Of the undersigned. If
you did, please state which ones. We
also wish you to state whether you
drew those resolutions or not; and if
You did not, please state who drew
them. And in case you do not know,
please state by whom they were placed
in your hand.

4 LADY'S NARROW ESCAPE.
Attacked by Negro While out Horseback
Riding-Eescued by Party who Lynch
the Negro.

GALVESTON, TEXAS, October s.
Aaron Bean, a negro, was killed by
mob of infuriated citizens near Jasper,
Texas, on Wednesday. y young daugh-
ter of John Lee, a prominent farmer Of
Magnolia Springs, while out horseback
riding was accosted by a negro, who
was also on horse. She whipped her
horse into run and endeavored to
escape. He pursued and overlook her
and dragged her from her saddle. A
party of white men came along at this
juncture, and after wounding the negro
succeeded in arresting him and turning
him over to the sheriff. On the road
to the Jail a mob was formed and the
fellow was taken from the officers and
riddled with bullets.

THE PRIMARIES.

To judge from the newspapers on1
would conclude that there has been in
many counties in the State considera-
Bile disafection and dissatisfaction in
many places with the results of the pri-
maries.
It is natural that in heated elections
and in contests that were close and
where the rules governing the prima-
ries are not strict that the defeated
candidates should feel little disatfect-
ed and be able to see the fraud and
irregularities only on one side but
where there is such general complaint
there must be some little foundation,
and We suppose some lrregularltiesWere
practiced by both sides in every prima-
~ in the State.
The rules governing our primaries IN
many counties are too loose and liable
to be abused in heated races.
For the good OF the party we should
think of these matters and endeaEor
so to amend the rules that there can be
no reasonable ground of complaint. We
should not open the way for divisions
in our own ranks. The primary system
is the only way to get the expression of
the popular will, yet from past expert
ence, a good many strci primary men
are becoming convention advocates.
It seems to us it would be good idea
for our next General Assembly to pass
an Act regulating the holding Of pri-
maries. If this is not done the rules
should be so arranged that registration
or membership in an organized Demo-
cratic club should be necessary to the
right to vote, and every man should be
required to vote at the precinct in his
own township.
The Democratic party cannot we'll
afford to have too much fighting within
it's own ranks. We niay have q COM
mon enemy to fight and We s!lc@ld be
united in our efforts.
The primaries for this year are all
over now and the nominations through
out the State are all made and we know
of no independent candidate except
in Oconee, where there is an indie
pendent candidate for the Senate, but
it can do no harm to think of these
things now and be ready for the next
race.
