BObby's Composition on Parents.

Parents are things which boys
have to look after them. Most girls
also have parents. Parents consist
of Pas and Mas. Pas talk a great
deal about what they are going to
do, but mostly it's Mas that make
you mind.
Once there was boy came home
from college on vacation. His par
ents lived on farm. There was.
work to be done on the farm. Work
on the farm always has to be done
early in the morning. This boy
didn't get up. His sister goes to the
stairway and calls: willie, It's a
beautiful morning. Rise and list to
the lark" The boy didn't say any
thing. Then Ma calls: civilian,
it is time to get up. Your breakfast
is growing cold" The boy kept
right on not saying anything. Then
his Pa puts his head in the stairway,
and says he, "BillI' Coming, sirI''
says the boy.
L know boy that hasn't got any
parents. He goes in swimming
whenever he pleases. But am 90.
Ing to stick to my parents. How
ever, don't tell them so, cause
they might get it into their heads
that 1 couldn't get along without
them. Says this boy to me. par
ents are a nuisance; they aren't
what they're cracked up to be. -
Says l to him." Just the same, L find
'em handy to have. Parents have
their failings of course, like all of
us, but on the whole approve of

school went to calling his Pa the

SOME weeks ago, a negro man in
Nashville attempted an outrage
upon a young white woman. A
negro was arrested and taken before
the young woman, and she identified
him as the man who assaulted her.
While under arrest and on his way
TO Jail, the negro was shot to death
by the young woman's brother.
Now it is claimed by the friends Of
the negro, and his attorneys, and
virtually admitted by all parties,
we learn, that an innocent man was
killed that his friends can prove by
unimpeachable white witnesses that
he was in another part of the city at
the time the assault was made, and
could notpossibly have committed
the act. So the brother, who took
the law into his own hands; who re-
fused to wait to give the accused a
hearing who assaulted and killed a
defenseless prisoner, has been in
dicted and must answer before the
courts of his country for the charge
of murder, and before the final
Judgment of just God, who has
said, thou shalt not kill@' All OF
which goes to show how unreason-
able, how reckless, how wicked, is
the spirit of mob law.

The Parting of Lee and His Generals

Whether there is any truth in it
or not, the following which appeared
in the Commercial-Gazette is very
touching and interesting:
Amid the ruins of their capital,
with bare, bowed heads, in utter
silence and bitter tears, Lee and his
generals separated and went their
way to homes destroyed, families
broken up and scattered, and often
into exile and Oblivion.
The final parting was in front of
Lees mansion in Richmond, two
days after Appomattox. Lees
house is an ordinary square brick
standing alone on Franklin street,
one square from the Capitol. All
the other houses on the square are
connected. Upon the afternoon of
the second day after the surrender,
people in that vicinity were sur
| prised to see come riding up the
street from the south a company of
Confederate horsemeD. They were
unarmed. Their gray uniforms
were worn, soiled, and even tat.
tered, their trappings old and
patched. They wore slouched hats,
and here and there was feather
remaining of the once smart and
iaunty dropping plume of the Con-
federate cavalryman. They were
bronzed and brown and bearded
They sat erect and came on with
the splendid craftsmanship for
which they were noted. Upon the
collars of some of the gray jackets
could still be seen the faded and
furnished gilt stars, the emblems of
the wearer's rank.
In front of them rode Lee. His
two hands held tie loosely swing
ing reins and rested upon the pom
mel. His head was bent and his
eyes were looking straight ahead
from under his downcast brow, but
they seemed to see nothing.
AS the troops cantered up to his
old home, his horse stopped at the
gate, aud he aroused himself sud
denly, as from dream, and cast
his eyes upon the familiar windows
and then around over the group of
gallant soldiers who had followed
his fortunes for four bloody years
and gone down in defeat under his
banner.
The END of it all had come at last.
He threw himself from his horse,
and all his companions followed
his action. They stood hat in hand,
with an arm through the bride rein,
while Lee went from man to man,
| grasping each.hand, looking intent
ly into each face as though he
would impress it upon his memory
forever. Then he turned and
walked through the gate and up the
steps to his door. AS a servant
opened the dohr he paused with his
left foot upon the veranda, his right
upon the last step, and looked back
for the last time. Not a word had
been spoken, not a good by
uttered. There was no sound heard
but that of sobs, as these uukempt
and grizzled heroes of a hundred
battles leaned their heads against
the shoulders of their horses and
wept.
Lee gave one look, and broke
down at last. His hands were over
his eyes, his frame shook with sobs
as he turned quickly and disap-
peared into his lonely house. With
the closing Of the door behind him
ended forever the wild dream of q
Southern Confederacy.

REVENUE OFFICERS
Make Raid on the Indian Camp
Springs Distillery.
The PrOprietOrs Say They Had No
knowledge that the Law Was Be
ing Violated in Anyway.

Revenue Agent Ingram, Deputy
United States Marshall Il. B. Ballou
and Deputy Collectors Stoner and
Galloway, Wednesday morning,
raided the Indian Camp Spring
Distillery and arrested Jesse
Wooten, deputy dlstiller, charged
with defrauding and attempting to
defraud the government out of tax
on spirits.
The facts in the case, as given 10
a HERALD reporter by Deputy Mar
shall Ballou, are as follows:
Early Wednesday morning, before
day light, the above named repre-
sentatives of the government went
out to the distillery, which is stu
ated on the Bigbyville pike about
four miles from Columbia. Going
to stable near the distillery, they
caught Wooten up in the loft in the
act of emptying whiskey out of two
unstamped barrels onto the ground.
Deputy Stoner, who went in first,
received part of the contents from
one of the barrels on himself, and
was well soaked with the spirits.
Wooten was placed under arrest
and the barrels We're taken in
charge, and later on warrants were
served on the Moore brothers. The
officers, so Mr.. Ballou stated, had
been keeping an eye on the distil-
lery for some time. The men under
arrest gave bond before Judge
LOoney for their appearance for a
preliminary hearing before United
States Commissioner Farrell at
Nashville, tomorrow.
Revenue Agent Ingram was seen
Wednesday morning by Il HERALD
reporter and questioned in regard to
the seizure of the distillery, but he
was not in communicative mood,
and declined to give out any fur
Their information. In Wednesday
evenings Nashville Banner, how
ever, the following appeared in con-
nection with a dispatch sent in by
the Banners correspondent from
this place:
The report of this seizure was re-
ceived at the internal revenue office
at noon to-day, in telegram from
the revenue agent. Mr.. Ingram re-
ports that the officers seized the dis
tillery of Moore & Sons; located at
Indian Camp Spring, together with
a large warehouse and appurte
nances and $4,000 gallons of whis-
key"
MessrG. Ingram and Bullou left
town Wednesday evening, but
Deputy Collector Stoner and Gal
lOway are still here, and rumors are
afloat that more arrests are expected
| TO follow.

Negro Postmaster and His Babe Shot to
Death and Then Burned.
At Lake City, s. c., Tuesday
morning, the negro postmaster,
Baker, was aroused from sleep by
the burning of his house. Rushing
to the door, he was shot dead by
white men lurking out of the light
of the flames. His wife, following
him with her infant in her arms,
was severely wounded and a bullet
crashed into the baby's brain.
Other members of the family were
wounded aud some manned for life,
and the bodies of Baker and his
babe were cremated in the flames
that destroyed the home of the
family. President Mckinley had
been urged to remove the negro
from the office, but all requests had
been ignored.

Nothing worth mentioning has
developed since our last issue, con-
corning the Maine disaster. The
daily papers contain columns and
some of them pages about it; but all
they have to say one day is denied
the next. This government and the
Spanish government have their
divers at work to learn the cause of
the explosion; whether the pressure
il shown to have been from the out
side or she inside; and until some
official report is made by the officers
experimenting this work, nothing
further can be known than is now
known, and Congress Of course will
not considerable matter until they
have the facts before them.

Mr.. j. t. Moore,s Statement.

A HERALD representative yes
terday afternoon interviewed Mr.. j.
T. Moore concerning the above al
legged seizure He stated that the
trouble had been greatly eXqggera-
ted. In the first place the big
seizure reported was only IL gallons
instead of fifty thousand gallons,
and the distillery was never shut
down for a minute by the officers,
but is still running. In the second
place, neither he nor his brother
had been arrested or charged with
any offense, but had been requested
simply to give an appearance bond
as witnesses in the case against one
of his employees who had been ar
rested, Whatever "wild-cattin gn
may have been done by this en-
ploye or any other employee, he
said. was without his knowledge or
consent, or the knowledge or con-
sent of any of the proprietors. 1t
was a big sensation over a very
small affair; one of his employee
had been arrested for a small Of
tense, for which offense the proprie-
tors were in no wise responsible,
and that was all there was of it, all
street rumors or officers reports to
the contrary Notwithstanding, and
he did not expect any further de-
velopments, or any further trouble
to grow out of it.

WORDS OF HOPE FOR WEAK MEN.-Men with weakened powers and exhausted wig or have been taught to believe that such cases are hopeless. They lose all ambi- tion and give themselves up to despair. Their condition may be the result of hab- its, or indiscretions, or it may be to certain extent inherited, but there is com pensation in nature and these ills are cur able.

it is we'll understood that these cannon have no other value than as trophies, and expected that congress will, at the coming session, authorize their distribution as such among the states.
 If anybody in your neighborh hood, en- ticed by stories of gold and diamonds, has a hankering to go to South Africa, he will be interested in the following ex- tract from an official report made by Con- sul General Stowe: "That there are many Americans in South Africa who should never have come is evident. Many employment. I would advise Americans to stay away. Gold and diamonds are not for the many; all avocations are full {; living is high; to go up country is like jumping from the pan into the fire, for the conditions there are not encouraging.
 As soon as Mai. General Wade, one of our military commissioners at Havana, learned that Nuevitas and Puerto Prin- cipe Cuba would be evacuated on Nov. 22d, he cabled to the war department, SciIluS GHo utbuSOL UO if U. $. troops were not on hand to occu- py both places the minute the Spaniards leave, and asking that steps be taken to avoid trouble by sending U. s. troops at once. The war department has issued the necessary orders, and our boys will be there ready to take charge when the Spaniards march out. Although not giv- en out officially, the danger feared by General Wade is that the towns might be occupied by Cuban insurgents who might make much trouble unless our troops are there to forestall them.
 There is very little doubt that ex-Sec- retary John Sherman's mind is becoming a little fiighty.
