To fill the fire cisterns with artesian water

it is reported as being good and sweet at the

DAWSON AS A SOLDIER.
Gen. Sorrers "reminiscences of the
Dead Editor.

Gen. Sorrels "reminiscences of the
Dead Editor.
Gen. G. NJ. Sorrel, who was intimately
acquainted with the late Capt r. w. Daw-
son, having been associated with him during
the war, reached the city last night from a
trip to Florida, where he received the intel
ligence of Capt. Dawson's tragic death
'He was my friend and comrade," said
Gen. Sorrel with his career, and with
the brilliant and useful life that he has led
since the war. the public is familiar. |
think that the marks of his usefulness will
be deeply planted in South Carolina, the
state of his adoption
Gen. Sorrel recalled a portion of the youth
of this brilliant character. ut was in
1862" he said, while / was adjutant gen
eral in Gen. Longstreet's corps in Virginia,
/ think it was then posted about Culpepper
court house, that young officer fresh
from Richmond, reported to the lieuteaaut
general for service with his corps. 1t was
Lieut.. Dawson. Fresh, fair, handsome
and ardent in military service,
he had just passed very
satisfactory examination before the Rich
mond authorities in the ordnance depart
ment, and to that department | issued an
order assigning him to duty. The chief Of
ordnance of the Longstreet corp at that
time was Lieut.. Col Pavton Manning of
Mississippi, one of the bravest officers in
tho army. While entirely capable and
skillful in the handling of his important du-
ties, Lieut.. Manning was very fond of being
with the troops on all trying occasions, and
was only too glad to have capable assist
ant, and to him Dawson was ordered to re-
port. The young officer soon made himself
felt in the ordnance department of the
corps. He took charge of it under his chief,
Col. Manning, with great activity, method
and efficiency, and think it is safe to say
that there was no corps of Less army,
whose ordnance was better served than
that of Longstreets corps. Capt.
Dawson, for he soon afterward OBJ
tanned his promotion, did not content
himself with the purely administrative
duties of his department. At any oppor-
tunitY that he could find, without neglect
ing other duties he was quick to appear in
any active operations, and bis conduct in
the field on such occasions was always
marked by brilliant courage.
~ recall the services of this copfederate
afficer with the greatest interest. He was
so young, so ardent and so intensly devoted
to the cause which he left Eng
land, to esporse, that he at
once became an interesting character
even at that early day. he began then to
make that host OF friends, which only yes
terday assembled by his untimely grave.
Dawson served on Longstreets staff, |
think, to the very last, and wnen the end
came, l lost sight of him until he appeared
unexpectedly in Charleston in the journal
istic field, in which he afterward achieved
50 great a success"
or the manner of Capt. Dawson's taking
off, Gen. Sorrel said that he could not
speak without the deepest feelings. Capt.
Dawson" he said, twas not a man to seek
violent scenes with the possibility Of sucn

THE CHARGE OF JUDGE POWERS

Il
Mr.. James A. Stone was killed in
the Hartford bridge disaster on Febru-
airy 5, 1887. His administrator brought
an action against the G. V. Il. X. for
damages. The case has been on trial
at Burlington during the last few days.
Much interest attaches to il from the
fact that of several suits entered this is
the first that has been tried. The de-
cision in this case will have something
to do in determining other cases. AT
the present writing the jury has not a
greed and there seems to be preva-
lent impression that it will not agree.
Judge Powers presided at the trial, and
delivered the charge to the jury. II is
regarded as very able summing up of
the case, and it is to some points made
in it that we wish to call attention. 1t
is charged by the plaintiff in this suit
that the defendant was negligent and
in consequence of this negligence he
lost his life. The burden of proof here
rests with the plaintiff. He must show
that the defendant owed him duty
and that there was breach of duty.
What constitutes the burden of proof?
1t is not necessary that jury should
be convinced to moral certainty but
it must weigh evidence for and against
claim. If the beam, in its best judg
ment tips in favor of the claimant then
he has answered what is legally known
as the burden of proof. The party who
takes the affirmative in an issue must
produce more evidence in support than
is produced against it. If he does not
he has not sustained the burden of
proof and the verdict must be against
him. In regard to the duties of the
carriers of passengers by the powerful
and dangerous agency of steam they are
held to the greatest possible care and
diligence. This duty of care extends
to everything connected with the busi-
ness, employees, roadbed, machinery,
etc. Trains must be run in prudent
and careful manner, and when road
is thoroughly equipped for business it
is in duty bound to make use of such
new appliances and methods in operat-
ing It's road as have been found to be

and hoes. Farther down the stream is
grist and saw mill, while a half-mile
below the village on this same stream
is rake shop where the large drag
rakes are made. A small bridge spans
the stream between the fork factory
and the pond and just short distance
beyond stands the school house, two
story white building with belfy on
top. Around this schoolhouse are
number of large shade trees and di-
rectly in front and overlooking the vii
lage is the band stand. This yard is the
picnic ground of the many fishing par
ties. The village has band, that for
new beginners furnishes excellent mu-
sic, and they often play in the band
stand on pleasant summer evenings
The village has two stores and a post
office. The stage runs between here
and the railroad station at West Ran
dolph every day. There is a hotel
that furnishes accommodation for man
and beast, a shoe shop, harness shop,
blacksmith shop and meat market
in the place. The church is hand
some building, having been newly re-
paired a few years ago. 1t is Con
gregational church presided over at
present by Rev. VIM. Carr There is
nice parsonage also newly repaired.
The houses have many of them been
painted within a short time and most
OF the yards are ornamented by shade
trees. The inhabitants are orderly,
quiet and industrious. To all lovers
Of nature, pure and simple with 10
touch of art to mar its beauty, this lit
tie village with its sheet of sparkling
water, its green trees and grassy banks
the whole enclosed by hills, themselves
a garland Of green must bring a feeling
of rest and peaceful harmony.
