One Of Morgen's Raiders.

Gen. John B. Castleman, of Louis
vile, KY, is in the city. Gen. Cas-
tleman was one of Morgan S raiders,
and during the war was captured upon
one occasion, tried and condemned to
be shot. While under guard of de-
tachment of Federal soldiers in a de-
pot at Chicago he saw one of his
friends who would have been arrested
also had he been recognized. Castle
man walked upt well-dressed young
man standing near and asked him if
he would do favor for a man who was
about to be shot. The young man
said that he would, and then Castle
man pointed out his friend and re.
quested the stranger to so to him and
tell him that he;was in danger and had
better leave Chicago at once. Upon
receiving Castleman message the
Confederate FASTENED away. Castle
man was taken back to prison, but was
reprieved and got safely back to the
South. Some years after the war,
when he was Adjutant General OF
Kentucky, he attended banquet in
Louisville. Upon entering the room
he recognized the stranger who had
befriended him in Chicago, and walk
ing up to him he asked: "Do you re-

Greatly WrOnged.

SpARTANBURa, Feb. G.-The publica-
ton of the alleg led details of gigantic
trust to control the price of cotton by
means of round bales and the establish
ment of ginneries and congresses all
over the south, made by the Alliance
organ at Raleigh q few days ago, has
brought to light the fact that the mechan-
ism BY which the round bales are made,
was patented by Spartanburg county
man, who, strange to relate, is the real
inventor Of the Bell telephone.
This man is Thomas M. Workman. He
is farmer and the owner OF travelling
sawmill. The same year that the Bell
telephone was patented Mr.. Workman,
then at Laurens, s. c., showed several
men whose af1idavits can now be had, the
details of his invention. Most of them
thought him crank when he talked OF
transmitting the human voice by means
of electricity. But the Rev. q. L. Holmes,
scholarly and scientific gentleman, was
much taken with the device and urged
Mr.. Workman to perfect his Invention.
He opened correspondence Immediately
with an electrical house in the north, with
parties in Washington and finally fell in
with Prof. Alexander Hamilton Bel,
whose letters are still in Mr.. workman s
possession. At first he wrote to Bell re-
servedly in regard to what he had, but as
further details were desired, and nothing
seemed to promise from his repeated Of
forts to engage sympathy and assistance
he decided to make a complete exposition
Of his invention, which he did, to the man
who secured the most valuable patent on
the telephone.
Eight years ago Mr.. Workman conceiv:
ed the idea of packing cotton in round
bales. He urged the Identical arguments
now being used by the cotton exchanges
and the alleged cotton trust. He went &c
far as to invent and patent press which
would turn out round bale of cotton in
one fifth the time that was required tc
pack bale of the usual shape, even by
the swiftest presses on the market. Mr.
Joe Bailey, capitalist and banker OF
Clinton, 8. c., became interested in the
invention and bought half interest
which he stills holds.
If fthe threatened trust materializes, Mr.
Workman may yet be of as much service
to the cotton growers of the south as he
has been to all who use the Bell telephone

America at the Head.

The adjutant general of the regular
army has laid before Congress, as pro
vided by law, statement of the mum
Der of men in the United States phys.
ically able to perform military duty if
called upon to do so. The number OF
such men is 10, ,O24, ,549. The number
is important, because it shows that
the United States have more men
available for war than any other ma
tion in the world. The foremost
place was held previously by Russia.
The best estimates put the present
population of the United States at
72,OOO,OOO. The population Of Rus
sia by the last estimate was $4,000,
900. The number of available men in
Russia, however, is not so large in
proportion to the whole population.
In the first place the proportion OF
male residents in the United States is
larger. The immigration to the Uni
ted States is mostly male, and there
has been some emigration from Russia
almost wholly male. According to the
last Federal census of the United
States there were !, 5000 more male
than female residents of this country,
while from the last authentic Russian
census it appears that for every 1000
male persons in Russia there were
l,O27 females. Moreover there is a
much larger class of non-combatants
in Russia than in the United States.
By "non-combatants'' arc meant those
who, for religious and other reasons,
are opposed to warfare and secure cx-
emption.
According to the last figures at
hand, there were $500, 900 Hebrews
in Russia, and there are 100000 in
the United States. Years ago the
Quaker population was considerable
in some American States, particularly
Pennsylvania, but there arc now only
100, 900 members Of all denominations
of "Friends" in this country.
