Henry Ward Beecher's Opinion Of "Stone-
wall" Jackson.
To the Editor of The Sunday News:
In the South Carolinian of May 80,
1868, I find the following tribute to
the death of "Stonewall" Jackson, by
the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, copied
from the New York Independent.
Coming from such a man as Beecher,
thought it might be interesting read
ing to the present generation. l give
it in full. GEO. w. LoMAx.
Abbeville, September 2.
"a brave and honest foe has fallen.
Thomas Jonathan Jackson has died of
wounds received in the confusion of
the battle of Charlottesville, at the
hands of his own men. There is not
left another man in the south to take
his place, and the Richmond papers
scarcely exaggerate when they say
that the Confederacy could better have
lost $4,000 men. Good in council, his
peculiar excellence was in the field.
We know of no man on either side
that surpassed, if any equalled him,
in handling an army.
awe are IN some respects better
Judges of his military talents than
southern men, since we felt the blows
which they only saw dealt. 1t is GER
tain that no man has impressed the
imagination of our soldiers and the
whole community so much as he. An
unknown man at the beginning of the
war, save to his brother officers, and
to his classes at the military school at
Lexington, Va, his footsteps were ear
liest in the field from which now death
has withdrawn them. But in two
wears he has made his name in every
civilized land on the globe as general
of rare skill, resource and energy.
"No other general of the south could
develop so much power out of the
slender and precarious means, by the
fervid inspirations of his own mind,
as Jackson. He had absolute control
of his men, seeming almost to fascinate
them. He drove them through march
es long and difficult, without resources,
feeding them as best he could +; he
delivered battles as a thunder-cloud
discharges bolts, and, if the fortunes
were against him, then, with even
more remarkable skill than in advan-
cling, he held them together in retreat,
and with extraordinary address and
courage, eluded pursuit, sometimes
fighting and sometimes fleeing, till he
brought his forces safely off. Then,
almost before the dust was laid upon
the war-path, his face was again turn

IN STARTING FIRES REMEMBER

That a small stove or furnace crowded
with coal is not as economical of fuel
nor as considerate of health as larger
heating facilities and less use of fuel.
That open CRATES, while they furnish
an element of good cheer, are not as
economical of fuel as the close-heating
appliances; although for purposes of
ventilation the open methods of heat
ing have decided advantage over the
closed ones.
That selffeeding heaters are gener-
ally considered mediums demanding
less attention and less fuel than those
"brought up by hand"
That students of hygiene maintain
that coal containing a considerable
amount of sulphur contaminates the
air.
That thin layer of coal on stove
or crate bars, give better results than
fuel unduly loaded.
That, generally speaking, hot water
or steam heating gives moister tone
to the atmosphere than dry air sys-
TENS of heating.
That radiators neither take in nor
drive out bad air, and have no ele-
ments of ventilation whatever.
That q vessel of water should hold
q prominent place in rooms heated by
radiators, as we'll as in those headed
by stoves, hot air or open CRATES.
That living rooms and work rooms,
where the occupants are actively en-
gagged, should have thermometrical
register ranging between 81 and 6S
degrees F.; for sedentary habits, from
"a to 76 degrees F. These records to
be varied at different hours of the day
or night, with due consideration to the
amount of sunshine or shade in the
room.

WHEN GIRLS USE SLANG
They Lose the Esteem and Respect Of
Refined People.

They Lose the Esteem and Respect of
Refined People.
"It is unfortunate that slang phras.
es are so easily slipping into our every
day conversation, and taking apparent
ly so fixed place in our talk" writes
Edward w. Box in the December
Ladies' Home Journal. "And the
worst of it is that so many people are
using slang entirely unconscious of the
fact that they are doing 80. If the
common usage of slang were confined
to a particular order of girls, it would,
perhaps, serve as an indicator of char
acter, and pass unnoticed. It would,
at least, not touch the sensibilities of
gentlefolk. But it is not so confined.
Slang is invading the very incest of
circles; it is beginning to influence
the talk of our most carefully-reared
girls. And this is why the habit
should receive closer attention. Girls
are forgetting that slang phrases and
refinement are absolutely foreign to
each other. A slang phrase may be
more expressive than term of polite
usage, but it is never impressive, ex-
cept to Impress unfavorably. 1t is
high time that our girls should realize
that they should speak the English
language in their conversation, and
not the dialect of the race-track, nor
the lingo of the baseball field. A girl
may cause a smile by the apt use OF
some slang phrase. But, inwardly,
those who applaud her place her, at
the same time, in their estimation.
No girl ever won an ounce of respect
by being slangy. On the contrary,
many a girl, unconscious of the cause,
has found herself gradually slipping
out of peoples respect by the fact
that her talk was dotted with slang
phrases. 'Oh, she is clever said a
woman not long ago, of a girl who
could keep a company constantly
amused by her apt use of slang. 'She
amuses me greatly. But should not
care to invite her to my home nor
have my girls know her. 1t is a poor
popularity for a girl, which has as its
only basis the cap and bells of the
jester. The life of the jester is never
long"

TYPHOID AND WATER SUPPLY.

A suggestive paper by Professor w.
P. Mason, entitled "Sanitary Prob.
lens Connected with Municipal Wa
ter Supply" has been published in
The Journal of the Franklin institute.
Some interesting facts are recorded
concerning the health Of some Ameri-
can cities in relation to typhoid fever
and water supply. The writer tells
US that the average annual typhoid
death rates for thirteen Massachusetts
cities, before the introduction of pub
lie water supply was 7.94 per 10000,
while since the improvements have
carried out the deaths from typhoid
fever have fallen to 1888 per 10000.
In the whole state of Connecticut the
percentage of typhoid deaths to total
deaths has fallen from about 5.S in
1870, to 1.S4 in 1898.
But although much advance has
been made in the improvement of
American water supplies, great deal
remains yet to be done. A source OF
pollution too often overlooked is the
contamination of water in the pastures
through which it passes. Mason cites
an instance which came under his no.
tice of 26 COWS in a pasture through
which ran the open watercourse con-
Meeting the storage and distributing
reservoirs of the city. The animals
had perfect eedom to wade in the
stream to wiUlin a few yards of the
point where water entered the city
mains.
A very remarkable example of how
typhoid fever may be spread is given

HIGH PRESSURE FARMING.

The Success of Mr.. ID. 81. Rush, Of Orange
burg-No Reason Why Others Should
Not Do as Well If They Would.
To the Editor OF The News and Courier:
Whilst in Columbia last week, on
the state fair grounds, in the midst Of
q great crowd, I met an old boyhood
companion, Mr.. David H. Rush, now
farming in Orangeburg county, and in.
cidentally asked how he had succeeded
with his farming operations this year.
was dumfounded at his reply. Said
be-: ~ had in 140 acres of cotton,
which made $50 bales, averaging 500
pounds each, 81 acres of which made
SO bales, or at the rate of 936 pounds
of lint per acre. made enough corn
to last me for two years. I made my
own supply of wheat, cane syrup and
rice, and whilst my neighbors last tall
were not sowing oats, put in to work
sowing them, and haye made 40 bush.
els per acre. A day or 80 ago sold
my neighbors 700 bushels for seed. I
made great quantities of potatoes, and
actually supplied meat from my smoke
house to all the hands on the place
without the purchase of single
pound" Said 1, "Good gracious,
Dave, you must be stretching the
blanket" "Oh, no." said he; sit is
the truth, it is the truth" If he says
it is the truth, it is the truth, and that
is all that can be said. There is no
use to doubt it.
1 shall expect you to carry out your
promise to send a reporter up to Ell
loree to get Mr.. Rush's method more
fully and to give me and other farmers
the benefit thereof through the col
unns of The News and Courier.
I will only add that Mr.. D. H.
Rush was born in Spartanburg county,
at the crossing of the South Tiger
river by the Southern railway; that
he went to school in the old field
schools near home, then two years at
the Thalian academy under the Rev.
J. L. Kennedy, in Anderson county !;
then ,yo years at Reidville Male High
school, from whence he went to the
war in Hampton's legion, and was
wounded in the first battle of Man
assas, in consequence of which he lost
his left arm. He was placed in hos
pital in Culpepper, Va, where 1 went
to his rescue with his mother. He
was the first wounded man saw dur
ing the war, and he knew how to fight
then as he does to farm now. He is a
cross of an Orangeburg Dutchman
upon Spartanburg Scotch-Irish wo-
man.
Do not forget to send your reporter
to see him, for feel sure that such a
splendid example of high pressure
farming can but stimulate the balance
of US to do better.
I think he is entitled to be called
the champion farmer of South Caro-
lima. If anyone can beat the above
showing, would like to hear from him.
I asked him how he attained such
magnificent results. He said by
liberal use of COW house and stable
manure and 600 pounds of the follow
ing mixture: 800 pounds acid phos-
phate, 200 pounds cotton seed meal,
SO pounds dried blood and so pounds
muriate of potash, costing between %
and Sc an acre. T. J. MOORE.
