BUDGE.
The Story of Faithful Dog.

"Speaking of dogs" said General Joe
Bartlett few evenings ago to General
McFeely, as he refectively sent the
smoke of his cigar curling up to the
ceiling, "do you remember that big
three-legged yellow dog called Bulge
that followed the army of the Potomac
during the early years of the WARP Well,
Bulge was character, if l may be par
doned the expression. He was a pa
triotic dog, too, for he was one of the
first to get to the front in 1861, with
the three-months- men, of New York, of
which he was native. Bulge was a
terrible fighter. l remember when the
troops were on the march to engage in
the first battle of Bull Run, he chewed
up every rebel dog en- route. Every
man that wore the blue was Budge's
friend and took it upon himself to see
that he had the best the camp and the
country afforded. When the fight was
we'll under way on the plains of Manas-
sas it was fun to watch Bulge chase the
half-spent cannon balls and shells as
they rolled along or ploughed up the
earth. 1t was while engaged in this
cheerful pastime that bulge lost his left
fore leg; a cannon ball took it clean
off. We, who took an interest in him
were about that time too much engaged
to look after wounded men, much less
dogs, therefore Bulge was left on the
field as we supposed to die or fall into
the hands of the enemy.
Some days subsequent to the battle
when we had all returned to our old
camping ground, who should come
limplng in on three legs, his tail wag-
ging like mad with JOY, but old Bulge.
Well, sir, some of the boys who wit
messed the scene just shed tears over
the fidelity and loyalty of that dumb
brute. A surgeon of the 27th New
York fixed up the stump, and in the
course of time it healed. Bulge was
all through the Peninsula campaign,
and during the advance and retreat he
hobbed along, and during engagements
followed his favorite pastlme, chasing
cannon balls and shells. Nothing could
abate his zeal in that direction. Bulge
followed the troops back to Washing
ton, took part in the second battle of
Bull Run, the battle OF South Mountain,
and then hobbled until he reached
Antietam. In the battle of the second
day Bulge chose to take part in the
conflict on our right, and seemed to
enjoy it. He was very busy that day
and had got so that he could make
good time on three legs. He had
plenty of balls and shells, can tell you,
to look after, too. When the fight was
over along in the afternoon Bulge was
missing. The next morning in passing
through the terrible 'cornfeld' in search
of our dead and wounded soldiers,
some of the boys ran across the lifeless
body of old Bulge, and, by his side,
was the body of wounded member of
the brigade who had been in the habit
of feeding him. Bulge, he said, re-
NAMED with him when he fell, and
when the rebels swept through the
cornfield in one of the numerous
charges made, Bulge defended him
against what he knew was the assault
of an enemy, and was shot down, loyal
to the last to the old flag, and the Con-
stitutlon and the Union, too, if he was
nothing but dog"

The Republican Executive Com
mittee met last night at Won Claims
Hall, Hoboken. The difficulty over
the nomination of Water Registrar is
not yet settled, and so far no nominal
ton has been made, but it is expected
that the committee will endorse
Henry Lohmann, who is running in
dependently. q Ex-Mayor Timken, a
seceder from the Democratic ranks,
has been offered the nomination, but
up to the present time he has not
made up his mind.
The action of the City Committee in
nominating Henry Patterson for
Water Registrar is ridiculed by Demo
Gratis and Republicans alike. Mr..
John Reid, one of the most prominent
republicans in Hudson county, said
the Democrats had been smart, and
had fixed the convention, making a
majority for Patterson, who would
indirectly aid Henry Quidore,
the regular Democratic nominee,
Patterson was nominated one night,
and taken off the ticket the next, as a
howl was raised all over the city.
Since then the Republicans have been
utterly d~emoralized. They are in a
hopeless quandary, and up to the
present time do not know whether
their nominees will accept or not.
1t is expected that there will be a
split in the party at tonight's meeting,
as the opposing factions are both de-
termined to carry their points.

Worthy of Notice.

The NeavbeTy Herald and Nc,ps quotes
portion OF an article on "Illiteracy in the
South" which lately appeared in the World,
and ai!udinS to the statement that the per-
ccntaSe or iIliterateS Is lowest in Wyoming
:erri ory. where the women vote, asks: "Does
our contemporary mean to say that the fur
ther the franchise is extended that the lower
is the per cent. of illeracy? Or that because
.he women are allowed the right to vote illit-
eT;try is decreased?"
The World did not mean TO make such n
claim, hut simply to direct attention to a
striking coincidence which the World thought
worthy OF notice. Charleston World.
Another matter of note. Before the war
when South Carolina did not encourage pau
perism, and when only about S25, 900 was CIV
en- annually Tor the schooling Of pauper chill
dren, the illteracy among the white people
reached n lower per cent. than in any other
State in the Union. Only two-thirds of her
people voted then.
Since the war, when all her people vote, and
when nearly half million dollars is contri-
buted annually for public schools, the Hitter
acy among the whites increases with each
succeeding census.
1t is notable however, that no advocate OF
exhorbitant rates OF taxation ever cites any
recognized authority to show the good results
from taxation for the support Of the schools.
They always speak buncombe, and furnish
glittering generallties. AS soon as the advo-
Gates of larger conflscation of property for
any figures TO prove the correctness of their
fallacy, we will expect to see the newspapers
n ote the fact in black type.

what has been done and Is being done in the

more christian effort and christian enterprises

God and his cause than ever were before. All
the great christian enterprises as the Bible

more money and employing more laborers

so, whereupon Mr.. COlyer finally consented
to go with him, but before going out the de-
warrant whereupon Justice Miller was sent
for and upon being introduced by DR.. Carlton
to Mr. Applegate forthwith issued the neceS-
sary papers. when to our utter aStonishmcnt
and great confusion, as the detective lifted
his hat and bowed good afternoon, wc'found
before us the person OF our own townSnlan
j. w. Morrah. All this happened In broad
daylight, and the countenances of the above
gentlemen can better be imagined than por-
troycd by the writer.
They were like the boy the calf run over, rs
they stood utterly confused and had nothing
to say. Mr.. MOrrahs onl ly disguise was in haV-

MIR. Morrah was then escorted down town
and introduced as an "Alliance man VINO
talked freely about establishing Il store mt

delighted and gave him great encouragement

still not finding him out, lie was introduced

Disregard Of the Copyright Law.

We notice that some Of our exchanges pub
lish the letters of "Bill Arp" We also notice
that the letters are copyrighted"
Thinking that we might copy the same In
the Press and Banner we wrote to the author
Of the letters for terms.
In reply, after naming the papers which
had authority to copy these letters, and say
ing If we thought proper to publish them at
the price which he named, he added: 81 will
not contract with any other newspaper in
South Carolina
The strange part of this affair is, that he did
not name single newspaper which comes
to this office, as having the right to publish
"Bill Arp's" letters.
We are quite sure that the brethren who arc
publishing "Bill Arp's" letters do not know
that they are infringing on the authors
rights. and are making themselves liable for
the consequences of n disregard of the law
which protects an author.
We are not interested one way, or the other,
and do not care nickl lie whether every paper
In the State publishes these letters. We are
only remarking on state of facts, as they
exist.
