A War Tale from a Veteran.

In conversation uith Rev. j. B. X
Smith, Of Georgia, who is visiting in
the city, the Spartanburg Herald re-
porter obtained an interesting story of
the late war, which has never appear
ed in print Mr.. Smith has just re-
turned from a visit to Virginia. The
story is as follows:
While Stonewall Jackson was march
ing to strike the Infamous Milroy at
Winchester, Va, Private D. Nj. Bell,
of Co G. 5th Virginia, Private Sh .lay,
Of the 11th Virginia and three other
Virginia soldiers were resting on the
roadside after slaking their thirst at
Gurdons Spring, when the thunders
of cold Bluelight' artillery opened
before the stragglers, footsore and
worn, had time to decide what route
to take, to join their comrades in the
fight, they discovered regiment Of
Yanks in front coming in swinging
"double quick" away from the field
on the road where they lay. After a
hurried consultation they threw them
selves over stone wall on the right,
distributed themselves at regular iu-
tervals, and as the fleeing enemy ar
rived at she right place, ordered them
to halt; the order was repeated and the
second time accompanied with threat
of death from battle line which they
Informed the Yanks was posted in the
pine thicket on the other side Of the
road. The order to halt and lay down
arms was promptly obeyed by the ter
ror-stricken Yanks and Bell ordered
them to form in column of fours facing
toward Winchester, which they did.
Bell then passed down the line, count
ed them carefully, and placing him
self at the rear, Shifily in front and
the three others at proper distances
along the line, marched them mile
toward the place he supposed General
Jackson to be, when they were met by
a regiment of Ashby's Cavalry, who,
in spite of their protests, took the
prisoners away from them and carried
them to headquarters. The five weary
comrades who made the capture were
so outraged at being robbed Of their
prey, they never went back to see
about their guns laid down in the road
there we're $50 of the prisoners.
Comrade Bell is now resident of
Stanton, Va. in the undertaker's bus
mess. Rev. Mr.. Smith spent week
or more delightfully."- in his house and
had the story from his own lips, the
line of battle on the other side of the
road was a first class fake.

What the Colorpd People Of Green.
wood County Say.
Greenwood Inder.


The colored people of the town of
Bradley, Greenwood county, beg "a little
space to put on record their utter con-
dcmnation of some of their race at
Phoenix on november 9Th. They de-
sire to make this statement as to their
feelings and intentions:
While we deplorc the reckless igno-
rance of those of our race in the Ph0e-
nix affair, we at the same time dislike
to see the entire race araigned in the
public prints as lawless people.
We inveigh against lawlessness, by
whomseever committed. We are en-
deavoring to foster the good feeling
between the races. We have striven
for this end in the past, and shall con-
tinue this course in the future.
We can but deprecate the folly and
ignorance of those who blindly follow
the lead of demagogues, who would
hurl them into turmoil and strife to
carry their own Infamous purpose-and
then abandon them to their fate.
All good citizens, both white and
solored, deplore the sad affair at Phoe-
nix.
We are sorry that some of the white
Republican leaders did not see the
mistakes of their relatives 80 years
ago, or even one month before the last
election. Probably there would have
been fewer widows and fatherless
children thrown out upon the charity
of this hard world.
1t has been said that one white man
can easily lead one hundred negroes
his way, while with great difficulty a
c0lored man may draw ten after him.
If the white man has this great in
flnence over the negro he should Use
that influence in leading the negro to
peace and prosperity.
The colored people have gotten moth
ing for following these demagogic po-
lilicians but widows, orphans and con-
tempt, while the demagogues got the
Offices.
We have sworn our eternal "No' to
support politicians whose greedy end
is money and Office. The negro should
by this time see that their votes have
only been used as catspaws to pull po-
litical pinders out Of the fire for these
demagogues to crack. There are hum
dreds who have not bowed their knees
to Baal. Let others say and do what
they will or may, we and our house
will serve the Lord.
We are going to economise, get
homes, get education.

lose some of its patronage now that

PARKS BILL PASSED.

The Senate yesterday passed House
bin No. 50, popularity known as the Parks
bill. This measure requires every holder
Of n note, bond, or other evidence on
debt to list the same for taxation, and for
falling TO do so the debt cannot be en-
forced by law until the taxes are all paid
with 70 per cent. additional. Inasmuch as
banks pay their taxes upon their capital
stock they will probably not be affected
by this law. but the private holder must
list each Of his bonds and notes separate
ly, or else take the consequences.
The belief is that under this bill the
state will derive large additional reve-
nue. from evidences Of debt which IT can
not now reach. 1t is quite possible. how
ever. that the law will give rise TO seve-
raj legal questions, and II would. there
fore. not be safe to calculate upon the eX-
tent OF its productiveness until these have
been settled.
As we understand II, where a note Is
deposited in bank and the proceeds are
put to the credit OF the customer, then 1t
becomes the banks property.
This question was asked during the de-
bate I'm the Senate yesterday. and was

a good deal has been said recently
about the failure Of the experiments Of
inoculating for rinderpest. However, DIR.
Turner, the Chief Health officer in Cape
Colony, and DR.. Kolle, assistant TO
DR.. Koch, have just published a report
Of work done in the laboratory Of DR..
Koch at Kimberley, which, it is contend
ed, partially explains the discrediting
Of the experiment. Dr. Koch's theory
was that cattle could be insured against
rinderpest by incubation with gall taken
from animals that had died of the de
ease on the fifth or sixth day. On the
other hand, it was held that the disease
might be communicated by these means,
and only infected herds and herds in
their near neighborhood were treated
An abstract OF the report referred to
says that the results seemed to confirm
the opinion Of sceptics, for the rinderpest
broke out even among inoculated animals
The fact, however, that a herd was Of
ten infected before incubation. without
its being detected. was overlooked, while
external circumstances sometimes IA
vored the spread Of the disease. The ami
mails are generally driven into corral
for incubation, and if one Of them hap
pens TO be infected without the fact
having been noticed, it may infect seve-
raj others. Dr. Turner and Professor
Koch have proved in many cases that
incubation does no harm to cattle. The
Professor even injected virulent rinder-
pest blood mixed in large quantities with
rinderpest gall, and the animals still re-
manned healthy. 1t is not denied that
gan NEGOTIATIONS are not yet free from
disadvantages, but II is claimed that
they have already done great deal OF
good. Sir Godfrey Langdon, it is stated
reports that out of hundred thousand
cattle treated in Basutoland. 10000 es-
capped the infection altogether.
