"FIGHTING JIM'S" breakfast
An Incident of the Civil War Recalled
by Dewcy's Goodness

There was grim humor in Dewey
when he stopped sinking the Spanish
fleet in order that the boys might not
miss their breakfast, as well as Wis

fighting he succeeded in capturing
Murphy's beat. That gentleman went
unon the deck where his captor stood
ready to receive him, the defeated Off
Ger having one arm in sling and using
his free hand to make a formal sur
render of his sword. Appearing not to
notice this, Jouett laughingly chided
his friend for keeping breakfast wait

Murphy was a hungry man and after
he had eaten like harvest hand, said ::
"Jouett, if you had only sen. me word
about this breakfast would have sur

man in thicket, and Coroner Nlb!ock
being notified went up and brought
the corpse to town Monday. Upon
suspicion word was dispatched to New
Castle and "Wednesday afternoon John
Nelson and Bert Gregori of that place
came over to investigate. Both at once
recognized the remains as those OF
an Austrian by birth, named Erminio
Zahei, aged 40 and unmarried, who had
worked in the coal mines on the Grand.
He left New Castle on the l2th of July,
after a protracted spree, with com
ple;c camping and pack outfit, and
pitched tent some seven miles from
where his body was found. He was
last seen alive July 18th, and just how
he met his death will probably never be
known, but is generally believed to have
occurred yhile in a fit of delirium. The
body was IN q fair state of preservation,
considering its ten weeks exposure.

The forest fires are still raging as
fercely as ever in the upper country,
and there is no telling when they will
stop. From the head of Beaver it has
spread north and west for several miles,
and one of the finest bodies of timber in
the county is being destroyed. Several
government foresters are in the vicinity
of the fire, but it seems no organized
efforts as vet have been made to control
the flames. On the north side of North
Fork, however, the settlers took the
matter in hand themselves, working
night and day, and that section at last
accounts was out of danger.

only children can. The pale gleam
of a crescent moon supplemented
by the soft glow of japanese Ian

children, like elves, disporting
themselves upon the green-sward.
Tables were spread IN the open

was kept up until late hour,
when the children went h ONE to
live over in their dreams the pleas

\ correspondent of The New
York Sun says: "My moral for
these times is this: when
mans country has by It's conSiitu
ted authorizes embarked in war, it
is the height of baseness to say
anything or do anything which will
encourage the enemy. II is OF no
sort Of consequence what your
opinions were three months ago,
your duty now is TO stand by your
country, right or wrong. to cheer
our gallant fellows on the ocean
and or the land, and welcome them
home again to grateful hearts"
This is the proper view to take
ofths war. However unjustiiiable
the cause may seem to us, when
our country goes to war orr whole.
heart and all our sympathies
should be hers. w hat we want is
tor the war 10 come to an end as
speedily as possible; and for this TO
come about We must 90 into the
war in no half hearted way. In
the history Of the United States
there has never been war but
some OF the people thonght it un-
justifabie, and yet when our
armies gained victories, these same
people We're ever ready to share

1t is impossible for any person
to prevent the influence and results
of his acts. "Am l my brothers
keeper" is not simply the idle
evasive answer Of Il man brought
to face his bloody deed, but
embodies an eternal truth. In a
strict and alarming sense every
one is his ''brother's keeper, ana
responsible to a certain extent iof
the conduct and destiny Of others.
This being true, not only must the
drunkard answer to the great
Judge of the Universe for his crime
against himself and society, but
for this crime the man who solo
him the liquor that made him a
drunkard, whether from behind
the counter of a bar room or
State dispensary, the Authorizes
that signed the right or license to
sell the damning stuff, and every
citizen who by his vote helped to
legallze the traffic, are responsible,
and, before God, if not before men
with the drunkard himself, must.
answer for the sin and crime. Not
only is this true but all who because
ofindifference or standing aloof, do
nothing to stop the sale OF lntoXl-
eating liquors, are also responsible
for the crime of drunkenness, and
participants in the destruction of
human lives, happy homes and
immortal SOULS.
The most shameless law ever
placed upon the statute books OF a
civilized, free people is the dis
pensary law of the proud state OF
South Carolina. Surely Satan
must have exhausted his ingenuity
when he inspired it, and all the
fiends of hell must have eXulted
that the greatest infamy of the re-
zion of sin and dar kness had been
reproduced upon earth. Let every
citizen of this commonwealth, who
loves his State, is devoted to the
best interest of his fellow citizens,
and who will not be a partner in
shame ard crime, now that he has
the opportunity, arise and help
wipe out the stain upon the State,
lift this iniquity from his people,
and Danish this curse from our
borders. Vote for prohibition, and
so vote for manhood, for happy
homes, for the highest prosperity
of the state, and for the interest
of the Redeemer's kingdom.
