Syracuse N. " HERALD.

Syracuse N. " Herald.
The South certainly furnished its share
OF heroes and conspicuous figures III the
late war. Schley is a Southerner, Hob
son a Southerner. Bagley Il Southerner,
Blue a Southerner, Lee a Southerner.
Wheeler a Southerner, and latest to be
recognized. Lieutenant Brumby, who
hoisted the flag over Manila, is a South
erner. The South has thus taken a
pretty important part in the war and kept
I'D its reputation for bravery and gal
lantry.
When Henry Ward Beecher was in
England during the Civil War making
his powerful speeches there to influence
public opinion in favor Of the Union, he
was interrupted on one occasion with the
suggestion that the Northern soldiers had
not yet whipped the South. and quick as
a flash he replied. yes, but they have
been fighting Americans" American
courage and valor were tested on both
sides in the Civil War, and it was be-
cause Americans were fighting Amerl-
cans that the war was was so deadly and
so prolonged. General Grant said that
any man who deprecated the bravery of
the Southern army slandercd the North
ern soldier. General Sherman gave will
ing testimony to the bravery and SPLEEN
did soldierly qualities of his Southern an
tagonists. SO it is not surprising that
men from the South distinguished them
selves for courage and gallant action in
the late war.
We can be proud of the fact that all
the heroes Of the war were Americans,
whether they came from Alabama or
Maine. North Carolina or Utah. The war
has wiped out sectional lines. 1t has
lone more to develop the national spirit
and weld together the affections of the
people of every section than could have
been lone by years of peace.

Suffers-Most of Early Tobacco Cut.
Washington, Sept. 6.-The Weekly
Bulletin of the Agricultural Department
is as follows:
The a%bnormally high temperatures
throughout the week have been favorable
for maturing crops, more particularly
over the central and northern portions
of the country from the Mississippi Val
ley eastward, while in Kansas, Nebraska,
South Dakota and portions of Missouri,
hot winds have proved injurious. In
the central and western Gulf States the
week has also been generally favorable.
but III the south Atlantic portions Of
the East Gulf States excessively heavy
rains have caused much damage. On
the Pacific coast the conditions have
been favorable.
Corn has made rapid progress toward
maturity under the abnormally high tenn
perature conditions. a large part Of the
crop in States where it is usually exposed
to danger from frosts being now safe.
and the remainder will mature earlier
thar usual. Late corn has been seriously
injured by hot winds in South Dakota,
Nebraska. Kansas II Missouri, while
heavy rains have caused rotting and
s%prouting in the South Atlantic and East
Gulf States.
Cotton has suffered seriously from
rust. shedding and insects over the
eastern portion of the cotton belt, from
which sections numerous reports of rot
ting and %sprouting are also received. es-
pecially in Georgia and the CarOlinaS,
where the rainfall has been e%XceptionI-
ly heavy. In Louisia4a and Texas re-
ports of shedding and damage by in
sects are less numerous than in the pre-
ceding week. In the last named State
rain is needed for late cotton and the
top crop. Cotton is opening visibly in all
districts, and picking is progressing ia
vorably over the central and western
portions. but has been retarded by rains
in portions of the eastern section.
Most of the early tobacco has been
cut and housed. under favorable cOndi-
tons. and the late crop is generally
promising.
The soil conditions over the central
and northern districts of the country
east of the Mississippi river have con-
tinued favorable for blowing. but in
Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska it has
been too dry for this work.

Mrs. Pence was a model Christian

death has cast IA gloom over the city.
The home on Morgan street, kept ever
cheerful by her smiles, has wrapped
about it sombre mantle of mourning.
Her aged mother has watched with
wrinkles filled with tears the departing
of the soul hat was a great comfort i'll
her declining years. Her husband
knows the sore bereavement of home
bereft of its brightest gem. Her gifted
young son, Mr.. Thomas J. Pence, city
editor of the Morning Post, has no
longer the loving inspiration of a mtt
indulgent and devoted mother to guide
his pen. Her brother. Mr.. w. y. Jones,
feels the keen loss of fond sister, wSo
loved as she was loved in return, and
her only sister weeps because the cord
that bound them each to the other has
been broken, and a large circle of

The funeral will be held from the resi-
