A BLAST FROM SHERMAN.
He Gives His Opinion of the Senator
from South Carolina.

He Gives His Opinion of the Senator
from South Carolina.
NEW YORK, Feb. S.-A reporter
yesterday interviewed General Sherman in
regard to long article by Senator Wade
Hampton on the burning of Columbia, South
Carolina. The Senator's story of that event
filled eleven columns of the Charleston
News and Courier of the 5th instant. The
article, from the beginning to the end of
its eleven columns, is a bitter attack on
Sherman and bristles with such phrases as
General Sherman's reckless disregard of
truth" utterly unworthy OF credit" "he
shall be dealt with as all defamers deserve"
base and cowardly assaults SHERMAN is
convicted by his own statements Of glaring
inaccuracies, not to use harsher word"
The closing paragraph of Hampton's story
begins: There seems to be here the usual
discrepancy between the statements OF
Sherman and those of truthful persons.
General Sherman read the article yester-
day, and then said: "Why, bless your soul,
| have no answer to make to this stuff.
Lord bless you, 1t is not worth the trouble.
It's such an old, old story. Wade Hampton
knows as well as do that did not burn
Columbia. but that he did. have told the
story in my memoirs. Why, look here"
and General Sherman became earnest, "the
town was of no earthly conse
quence from a military point of view. 1t
was not worth burning down. 1t was a
wretched little place of no more account to
us than stump by the roadside. 1t was
merely stopping place for the night We
marched on to Goldsboro the next day. l
had more important things to think Of than
burning this stump by the roadside. was
on my way to Richmond. was after Lees
scalp. l hadn't the time or inclination to
bother with the miserable little place. It's
of no consequence to me whether de-
stroyed Columbia or not, but l suppose it's
deal of consequence to Wade Hampton
down there to try and show his friends and
neighbors that he didn't before he ran
away. AS to answering this fellow, this
Wind-bag-faugh! Hampton is a braggart
and blower. He always was. Did you
ever notice the weakness of some of these
southern fellows for blowing? How they'll
talk about their splendid estates, their
plantations, sir when they have few
measly acres worth apout IS an acre.
Hampton is of that sort. The whole ques-
ton as to who burned Columbia was sifted
by the International Commission, a not
over-friendly body, before whom the British
owners of some of the cotton destroyed
wrote their names. II they could possibly
have shown that the United States burned
that cotton they would have done so, and
they failed and that settled it."

full for the loyal attitude Of Germany on the
Bulgarian question. We place our
relations on the strength Of our ARMY. If
we haye no cause in it all the better; but
we must make our arrangement with the
idea we do not use it. We Germans fear
God and nothing else in the world. Fear
of God makes us wish to foster peace. He
who breaks peace will arrive at the convic-
ton that the war-like and exultant love of
fatherland, such as summoned the whole
population Of Prussia to arms in 1913, is a
common possession Of the entire German
nation, and he who attacks will find 1t
arme do a man, every man having in his
heart firm belief that God is with u.s."

Money,in Watch Repairing.

From tho New York Graphic.
There is more profit in the repairing
department of matchmaking than there
is in any other trade in the country, I'M
less, possibly, it is plumbing. Take, for
instance, the main spring of watch.
The general price for replacing one is
anywhere from $3.50 to So. Now, o.
main spring to jeweler costs little more,
all told and set, than 25 cents. Then
there is the eXtravagant price that is
always demanded for cleaning watch.
Few jewelers. ever charge less than Sl.5G
for such work. The time usually taken
for doing this class Of work is not more
than from half to three-quarters Of an
hour. The main spring itself costs on
an average about 8 cents. Then there
is an enormous profit made on watch
crystals. The standard price for them
is 25 cents each. The jewelcr buys them
by the gross or in less quantities for
30 cents per dozen.
