Distinction in Texas and Was IL
GaHaii; Confederate Soldier.
Con. Hamilton p. Bee, a native of
South Carolina, died at his homo in
San Antonio, Texas, on the Bird inst.
The following sketch OF his life is
copied from the San Antonio Daily
Express
Gen. Hamilton j. Bee was born in
Char rlcston, S. c., July %, 1922. In
October, 1887, when just entered into
his 16tk year, he left Charleston to
escort his mother to tho husband and
father at Houston, after Il separation OF
Two years. They camo from New
Orleans on the steamer Columbia, she
being on her first trip, and tho first
vessel Of her class Of what became to
be the famous Morgan Line to cro.s
Galveston bar, when, after the great
storm OF the preceding September, not
Il house stood on Galveston Island.
The reunion OF the family at Houston,
then in tents and boats, was u ioyful
affair. The parents expected Ham" I"
to return to New Orleans and complete
his business education in q grocery
house, but the boy was so charmed with
the wild hustle, frank people and grand
prairics of Houston that he successfully
begged to remain. From that time
and soul with Texas. The position
pof his father, with his own sprightly
and gcntlemanly bearing, ut once in
troduccd him TO the leading men of
the country.
In 1899 Gen. Bee was appointed
secretary on the part Of Texas to the
commission to run the boundary line
between Texas and the United States
from the mouth OF Sabine Bay to Red
River, work that was completed in
lSll Ccscccon was the Texas com
miss loner, and Judge j. Fl. Ovcrton, OF
Louisiana, the American. Geo. W.
Smythc represented Texts as engineer,
while two young United States army
engineers, since become distinguished
IN war on opposite sides, represented
Joseph E. Johnston and Gen. Geo. G.
Meade.
Gen. Bees next service was as one OF
party headed by j. G. Eldridge, sent
by President Houston to find and treat
with the. Comanche Indians. With
them were Thomas Torrcy and few
friendly Delaware Indians as guides
and interpreters. They left Fort Mar
lin, thirty miles from Waco, In March,
1913, and for five months they never
saw hut or sign OF civilization. For
uayS al tlmc they were without food
and many hours without water. When
live hundred miles from tho nearest
cabin, though bearing white Nag,
they were captured by over q thousand
Comanche warriors. Their lives hung
on brittle thread. a council OF
chiefs sat on their destiny from the
rising to the setting sun, the Della
wares, who were not in danger, using
all their powers to save them, and, at
frequent intervals, advising them of
their seeming fixed doom. AS the sun
neared the horizon every chief but ono

Lancaster used every effort to per.
suadc some Worcester capitalists of
repute to head the subscription list,
but they ali fought shy of it. He
found the hardhcaded Yankees less
susceptible to his powers Of persuasion
than the people Of the South. He had
been borrowing small sums OF money
from his acquaintances, but even they
were. becOining suspicious. He had
reached the end Of his rope, and the

Piedmont Sun: It is said that
when the corner stone of the first mill
at Piedmont was laid, there was some
ceremony attending it, and quite a
number Of persons we're present, as is
the common custom. n cavity was
made IN the stone as receptacle for
any relics those present might sec fit
TO deposit. Some gentlemen present
put in number OF coins. Word went
around that largo sum Of money had
been placed in the hollow OF the corner
stone. AS q consequence that night
some evil disposed person tore down
tho fresh laid brick and robbed the
stone of its contents. He was poorly
paid for his trouble, however, for
though the articles had some historic
interest they had no intrinsic worth.

A REMARKABLE MAN.-The recent
death OF ex-senator Charles w. Jones,
OF Florida, recalls the pathetic career
of one OF Americas most gifted public
men. Speaking OF the sad event The
Detroit Free Press says "To the
citizcns Of Detroit the announcement
of his death will especially bring to
mind q striking and attractive person
age who within ten years was famil-
lar sight upon our streets, we'll known
in political circles and popular in our
best society. The distinguished South
crncrs prcdlcction for Detroit and his
infatuated regard for ono of Detroit's
accomplished ladies, which at ono
time was the talk of the town, will
also rccur at this time. The career of
the Nl0ridian Senator strikingly illus-
tratcs the nIutability Of human great
ness and the uncerture tenure with
which our public mon hold their prom.
incncc in the public eye. A dozen
years ago Senator Jones, of Florida,
having attained distinction at the bar
OF his State, was prominent leader OF
his party in national politics and an in.
tlucntial mombcr OF the United States
Senate. Five years later this intellec.
tual light suddenly disappeared from
the armament OF national political life
and since that time the ex-senator
has been virtually dead to the world
and almost forgotten by the American
public. His final demise under circum.
stances so painfully in contrast with
hls triumphal career Of so short time
ago will recall for moment this once
genial and witty statesman, profound
cODsti itutional lawyer and effective
pnblic speaker. Then the general
public will forget Senator Jones as of.
fectually as it has forgotten hundreds
OF other men who once played leading
roles in the great drama of political
life" I

Is accounted for by him in that he is

One Must BE the superior.

III any living organization the supreme
power never dies. The king never dies,
and against the possibility of the pres.
dent dying we have made an elaborate
provision, which sufficiently speaks for
the danger it seeks to avoid But in the
slow moving action of the huge organ
isms that we call nations and govern
mcnts there is time enough for kings
and presidents to sleep to be off guard :;
whereas, i'll the rapid movements of
ships and tho frequent sudden vicissi-
tude of sea life the captain-tho cap
tain's power-cannot sleep 1t is plain
to say his person must. No more than
tho proverbial switch tender can he, as
habit, be on duty 90 hours out of the
"a. Hence arises the necessity for the
watch officer, who is in charge Of the
deck and vested while so with all the
captains power for the conduct of that
which goes Oh on deck or pertains to the
direction. He holds this control not he
cause he is the captain or lieutenant by
grade and title, but because of the office
he is then filling Is this considered AN
cxtravagant claim-unlimited:
And as it is on deck so it is in the en-
CINE room. The man i'll charge there,
himself in his sphere, exercises control
as absolute as the captain and the officer
Of the watch-like them absolute, like
them limited But there are two Oh
duty at the same time--the deck officer
and the engine officer, the directive and
the motive forces. The unity of result
demands that they be not independent
One must be the superior, and it must
be the one who has charge Of the direct
i've force, as that which is the more cs-
sential TO the safety and government of
the vessel; not because the one man is
superior to the other man, but because
tho one power is more important than
tho other. Captain A. T. Mahan, U.

France Compliments the English.

An Englishman. though generally
thick skinned, does not take III an i'll

In their loudly expressed loathing Of
the unknown country across the channel
they forget their legitimate revenge,
and they would pretend to fold the Ger
man TO their breast, as they long since
welcomed his beer, if by the pretense
they could put another insult upon the
loathed island. For them the English
man is vcritablo bogy-a composite
monster, with tho NAV of the ostrich,
the beak of IL hawk, the claws Of tiger,
tine manner of Il Clergyman and the
cunning Of an ape. This terrific crea-
ture, says the French journalist, roams
up and down the world, in PEELED only
by the lust Of plumber and blood, but
