Death of Gen. Hill.
Wilmington Review.J

Lieut.. Gen. Daniel Harvey Hill,
one of the most prominent figures of
the late war, and one of the most gal
liant of the many brave and noble souls
who have made Southern valor and
chivalry as immortal as the everlasting
hills, passed quietly to his last long
sleep in Charlotte, on Tuesday after
noon, Sept. 24th, at the residence of
his brother -in-law, Mr.. ]. P. Irwin.
Gen. Hill was a native Of York
county, S. c., very near the North
Carolina line. He was born in 1921
and graduated at West Point in the
class of AZ with Gems. Longstreet, A.
Stewart, Doubleday, Reynolds and
others. He served with great gallan-
try and distinction in the Mexican war
and was twice breveted. He entered
the Confederate service as commander
of the First Regiment and fought and
won the first fight of the war, the bat
tie of Big Bethel.
He took a prominent part in the
battle of Big Bethel, and led success
lively in the following engagements
Williamsburg, Va, Seven Pines or
Four Oaks, Mechanicsville, Cold Har-
Dor, Malvern Hill, South Mountain
or Boonsboro, Sharpsburg and Freder-
icksburg. After this latter battle Gen
Hill was transferred to the seat of wal
in the West His reputation wa:
gained at in the battle of South
Mountain. He held the mountain
pass at Boonsboro against the whole
of McClellan's army from early dawr
until the afternoon, when Longstree,
and Hood came to his relief. The
fighting at this point was terrific.
At the close OF the war Gen. Eli
returned to Charlotte and published ;
monthly magazine, The Land NJ
Lone, which he was compelled tt
give up because of broken health. 1r
1876 he became President of the Uni
versity of Arkansas and in 1887 he wa
elected President of the State Agricul
S tural College at Milledgeville, Ga
. Because of feeble health he was 500
8 compelled to resign this position an
he returned to Charlotte. He was i
Wilmington last summer and visite
.s Southport, seeking relief.
3 Gen. Hill was brother-in-law
IS Stonewall Jackson. He was marie
to Miss Isabella Morrison, olde
Is daughter of the late DR.. R. H. Mo
risson, in November, 1848. Mrs. |
es H. Hill and seven children are ST
es living. Gen. Hills body was burit
- in the old graveyard, at Davldse
es College, where four Of his childrs
iwere buried.

Col. Fox also says: "The rolls of
the North Carolina regiments have been
printed, and with the eight regiments
of junior and senior reserves, show a
total enrolment Of $1,000" 1t thus
appears that North Carolina furnished
in the late war 10000 more soldiers
than her entire military population in
1861. 1t is somewhat strange that
facts, SO glorious for the arms of North
Carolina should be given to the world by
soldier engaged on the Federal side IN

In and About the Oxford Orphan
Asylum.


From the Orphans Friend we CLEAN
the following industrial items about the
Asylum:
We have between 5000 and 10000
celery plants growing finely at present,
One acre of beans planted about the
first of September will, we hope, yield
bountiful supply of late snaps:
We have put up four stacks OF hay;
and there is enough grass on the farm
now to make five or six stacks more
We have dug upwards OF 200 bushels
of Irish potatoes and fully 100 bushels
yet to be harvested. The quality Is very
good.
The prospect is diattering for heavy
Weld of field corn, although the rainy
weather forbade thorough cultivation.
100 barrels will probably be harvested.
Frequent sowings of turnip seed have
been made, and we expect plentiful crop
of turnips. However the insects are re-
markably troublesome, especially the
small flea bug.
The shoe makers seem to be greatly en-
couraged concerning their work. The
boys shoes are all finished, and the girls
well under way. "Jack Frost will not
catch us unprepared.
The boys are all disposed to relOlce
over the recent acquisition of their new
mattresses. And surely nothing could
be more acceptable nor furnish more gen
uine "solid comfort than good bed.
The abounding mercy and goodness OF
our Father is nowhere more apparent
! than in the midst OF this large family
which, in spite Of its many members. and
the rather unhealthy season, continues
to enjoy almost perfect health.
Our sweet potatoes did not have a fair
chance on account of the extremely wet
weather in July and August; but the
prospect is good for a large crop, and we
are getting ample supplies for the table
now, from the earliest paintings.

The Valley Txginian, of Staunton,

Platforms will be SO much waste pa

revenue, and like interests, will be
thrown to the winds. 1t will simply
be whether the people of Virginia are
willing to pass under the iron rule OF

under a popular majority of from 25,-

If WE COULD KNOW.
Mrs. M. S. Sutphin, in Inter-O Ocean.

If we could only always know
The heart of him we think our foe,
What love and pity we had shown!
If we had known
The circumstances of his life,
His good resolves, his inward strife!
How tender then our hearts had grown
If we had known!
If we could know that when we pray
God hears and heeds each word we say,
And pities US, and loves us So
If we could know,
O !! what sweet rest the heart would feel
What sense of rest would DER us steal!
What loving words from hearts would
flow
If we could know!
If we had known while on life'S way,
With loved ones walking day by day,
Deaths shadow lowered round our
home
If we had known,
How we'd have sheltered that dear head !!
And unkind word had ne'er been said
How sweet our smile how soft our tone
If we had known!
If we could only know to-day
That loved ones who have gone away
Still care and love on us bestOw-
If we could know
That those who loved us and have died
Are sometimes standing by our side.
Life's journey then with joy we'd go
If we could know.

The Man Who Doesn't Insure.

One of our local insurance agents
and Henderson has its quota, repre-,
senting as they do the best foreign and
American companies-says this:
I have discovered that the man who
refuses life insurance for the protection OF
his family on the plea that providence
will take care of them is first cousin to
the fellow who crawled up the ladder
when the bear appeared, and encouraged
his wife in the fight which came off, by
shouting Justify: "Go it, Betty; that's
right; hit him anotherr' He is the kind
of man who borrows his neighbor's news
paper, is dead-head in his church, and
sits by the fire and smokes placidly while
his wife brings up the coal. He has won
derful trust in Providence-for somebody
else!

from the News-Observer.I

Some little time since, IN comment
ing on certain statements contained in
a speech | delivered before the Veter-
eran's Association of this county
(Vance) on July 4th last, you said that
you did not know the source of my in
formation and would be glad to have
it. The record made by the troops
from North Carolina for heroism on
the battlefield and devotion to the
cause of the Southern Confederacy, as
asserted in those statements, was so
far ahead of all the others of the South
ern States as naturally to excite en-
quiry as to the correctness of those
statements. In the last few days l
have obtained copy of work called
Regimental Losses in the American
Civil War, 1S61-1865" by VIM. F.
Fox, 1t Col. U. S. ", published by
the Albany Publishing Co., 1889.
In his preface Col. Fox says: "The
work is offered only as convenient
digest of official publications already
issued by the General Government OF
State Military Bureaus.
"No statistics are given here that are
not warranted by the official records
The work represents the patient and
conscientious labor of years, days and
often weeks, having been spent on the
figures of each regiment

Because the Associated Press is own

The reputation of Henderson as the

THE PLAN FoRADvERTIsERs.-N
less schemes have been devised for the
purpose of advertising. Millions OF dol
lars have been spent in trying to force
the public to read advertisements against
their will. These lodges are sprung
upon them when they least expect them,
and the effect is therefore annoying. 1t
is as if tramp should ring your front
door bell and ask for the loan OF quar-
ter. Advertising in a reliable newspaper
is different People expect to see it there
every day. Advertisers, in dealing with
the public, should remember that they
are asking favors; they should do so in
a courteous business-like emanner. There
is time and place for everything, and
the place for advertising is in newspa-
per, and the time-every issue.-Horaet
