How Gen. Hampton Put IL Stop to
Sherman's Brutality-Story or n
Man Who Drew the White Bean.
The Ridgeway correspondent of the
News and Courier records the death
of Mr.. William Evans, gallant Con-
federate, who lived in Fairfield Coun.
ty. The correspondent says:
The death Of Mr.. Evans recalls an
incident of the late war that should be
recorded in history. 1t will, for all
ages to come, fully portray the charac-
ter OF the great leaders on either side,
viz Gen. w. T. Sherman and our own
Wade Hampton.
On the l7th of February, 1865, Sher-
mans army entered and burned the
principal portion OF the beautiful city
OF Columbia; next day marched north
towards Winnsboro, destroying the
railroad thence to Wateree River
and on to North Carolina. His line OF
march was traced by the smoke OF the
homes he destroy ed Along the line
Of march he made prisoners OF all the
old men and boys, together with al
the sick and manned soldiers at hom,
on furlough. OF this number Mr.
Evans was captured with several other

WHY HE DIDN'T CARE.
"A Western Stage Driver Met With
His Match.

AS we left Sandy Gulch for Rising
sun there were six male passengers to
go by the stage, and the route was
over the mountains and full OF chances
OF disaster The driver came out for
breakfast as soon as the stage was
ready. and looking about on the pas
sengers he selected small, palefaced
man and invited him to climb up beside
him. While the pale-faced man was
climbing the driver whispered to the
rest Of us
|" picked him out in order to scare
him to death. You fellows will see
heap OF fun before we've gone ten
milos -
Two minutes west of the gulch the
road made a sudden turn with sheer
fall of hundred feet down to Wild
Cat creek, and the driver put his
horses at the gallop and said to the
pale faced man.
we may get around all right, or
we may fetch up down below. Hold
yer breath and say yer prayers !"
The passenger made no move and
dld not change countcnance, and after
making the course all right the driver
rather Indignantly demanded
Didn't you see that the ofr-wheel

precipce :"
1T ran within six inches, sir :" was
the reply.
Beyond the curve was down grade
OF a mile, and with a yell and flourish
OF his whip the driver urged his horses
to dead ran. The five OF US inside
had to hang on for dear life, and every
half minute the umbering stage
seemed bound to go over. Alongside
the driver the pale-faced mar smoked

Three or four miles further on the

edge OF the precipice, and only sud-
den effort OF the horses saved the
coach. We wero flung in heap and
frightened half to death, but the man

driver turned on him with

from this immediate neighborhood
They were treated in the most in
human manner, reviled and cursed,
made to walk knee deep in mud behind
the wagon train, often had nothing to
eat but little corn, that they would
pick up, left by the horses fed in the
camps as they marched by. 1t rained
every day, poured down il torrents at
night; with no fire, with wet clothes
and shoes, they where chilled to the
heart, suffering from the pangs OF
hunger, the inclemency of the wealth
err, and grieving over the desolation OF
| their loved ones at home.
All along the march there were
oummers or stragglers Intentionally
left behind to do their horrld work,
On several occasions they met with
warm reception at the hands Of Con-
federate scouts, who left their worth
less bodies in the big road to tell the
tale.
1t was reported to Gen. Sherman
when near Cheraw, and he at once
issued an order to retaliate upon the 4
prisoners in his charge. The modusE
operandi WAS as follows All OF theS
prisoners were formed into line, sury
rounded by company OF infantry. AnN
ili:er read Gen. Sherman's orders,
" That some of his foragers had been~
killed, and one prisoner was to be ex-
ecuted for each one Of his men killed
by the Confederates."
A small box containing number of
beans was presented each prisoner TO
draw one q white bean was life, a
black bean was death. MIR. Evans and
others around here drew white beans
and their lives were saved for the
time. "A good old man near Mr.. Evans
drew black bean this told him it
vas death. He replied, "I am an old
man, | have never been in the army,
nave never shouldered masket; |
woud not repine to die in front of bat
Tie, but it is cowardly to kill an unpro.
tected prisoner. [ have four sons in
the army, and | believe they are right.
have been deacon Of the Presby-
terian Church for thirty years. Good
bye, my friends. | will trust in God
for the future"
They marched them of. In twenty
minutes the sound of musketry told
that they had paid Sherman's brutal
debt, On the next day Gen. Wade
Hampton's. letter to Sherman was re-
ceived, (Which The News and Courier
has published on former occasion.)
Gen. Hampton wrote Sherman he had
been informed OF his brutal orders an
known to civilized warfare, and that II
any more Of his soldiers were killed he
would at once retaliate two for one,
officers preferred.
This stopped another bean-drawing
to be had next day. All honor to our
noble, fearless Hampton.

An Interesting Interview With the
Famous Arctic ExpiOrer-He Be-
lieves the Maine Was Destroyed by
q Mine

Brig. Gen. A. w. Greedy, chief of the
signal service corps of the United
States army, but more widely known
to the public rs Artic explorer has
been on u visit to Charleston, and while
IN that olty he was seen by reporter
for the News and Courier, and was
asked what he thought about the pros.
pect for war. His reply was that he
was not in position to know much more
about the situation than any other
citizen. He had his own work to at
tend to and generally tried to let the
people ut the White House have their
own way without any Interference from
him. But he added that he had his
own opinion, rs we'll as any one, and
saw no reason why he should not OK
press it, He had seen the report of
the commission and the photographs
accompanying it, and could see no rea
son to doubt the Maine had been blown
up from the outside. That being the
case the burden OF proof fell upon
Spain, and Spain had made no attempt
to disprove the guilt. Beyond a mere
declaration from her Representatives in
Washington that tn ere were no mines
in the harbor, and the finding OF the
Spanish commission which was most
probably made to order, she had done
nothing.
He was not at all surprised at the oc.
currence, he said, and thought it en-
tirely in keeping with the Spanish
character, which was proverbially cruel
and treacherous. Ever since Spain be

 There was enthusiasm to burn in
 Tucson yesterday. When the rumor
 of the capture of a Spanish boat with
 goo men got about town the Ameri-
 can flags could be seen popping up on
 various buildings. The city hall boys
 claim the first blood iii this matter, and barring mistakes they were doubt
 less first. In connection with their flag raising there was an interesting
 incident. The flag was run up and Chief Oakes started down town to see If there were any more bulletins. At Court and Pennington he turned around to admire old glory Instant ly he started back to the city hall, and from the pace he struck the crowd was sure he had more news. Hear asked the crowd as Oakes, with pale face approached almost on a dog trot. Nav, but I'll be dod- gasted if my country is in any distress that I know of, and I want that flag turned right side up mighty quick" The flag by mistake had been run up with the stars on the bottom, and it made the soldier blood in MT. Oakes's veins boil when he saw it. Talk about patriotism! Why there's patriotism in Arizona to throw at the birds.-l Tucson Star.
