Pardon for a Deserter.

Private Shehan, of the Union com.
pany, who deserted from his command
a day or two after he was mustered into
the service: will very probably be par.
doned. Governor Ellerbe said that he
would sign an application for the young
mans pardon, and the regimental Of.
fcers will probably do the same. She
han did not appear to appreciate the
gravity of the offence he had committed,
and he has been sweltering in the jail
for month, ;and that is thought to be
sufficient punishment for the first Of
fence of the kind. Shehan was taken to
the regimental camp under military
escort, and he will be kept in the regi.
mental guard house for some time. II
is expected that the necessary papers
will be forwarded in a few days, and
that Shehan will be pardoned without
delay.

A Strangely Lost Race.

The great mystery about Indo-China
and one which must ever be insoluble
is the story of the lost race and the
country. The mighty walls of Angkor-
Wat, rising in the midst of sparsely
vanished civilization of that strange
populated jungles, remain as the me-
mortal of a great empire which has
utterly disappeared and is altogether
lost to history. No one will ever know
who planned this gigantic temple, or
what tyrant hounde on his myriads o,
people to build up these immense
blocks of stone and cover them with
the most elaborate of sculptures. Ang-
kor-Wat is one of the most aStonisn-
ing monuments in the world and this
forgotten temple was built so as to
endure as long as the earth itself, were
it not for the irresistibly destructive
effect of plant life on the strongest
walls that man can raise. Only a
highly civilized and wealthy people
could have erected Angkor-Wat-a
very different race to the Annamite Of
modern days. The whole nation has
disappeared as utterly as the busy myr-
lads who once populated the wastes
and solitudes of Memphis.-Singapore

A Gallant Band Of Veterans.

An event in the history of Charleston
that will be remembered was the visit
of Camp 1904, United Confederate Vet
erans,> from Augusta. with their parade
from the depot to the German Artillery
Hall in full war rig of gray Confeder-
ate Jeans uniforms, rifles. blankets and
canteens, in honor of the memory Of
Jefferson Davis. In many respects 1t
was the most remarkable sight ever
witnessed in the city. Not man Of
the fifty-two was under 55 years Of
age, and the majority of them exceeded
three score. All had seen hard service
in the cause of the dead Confederacy,
and The majority bore honorable
wounds received in its defence.

will be no fatalities resulting. One of the
men will lose an arm, as that member was
so blown to pieces by q shell that apputa-
tion above the elbow was necessary. All
the other patients will be more fortunate.
Surgical science has made great ad-
vances since the Civil War, and there will
be no such loss Of limbs and other perman-
ent dis1gurements as occurred thirty years
ago.
The sick men, about forty-four. in num-
Der, have no signs OF contagious diseases,
their ailments being chronic, such as con-
sumption. heart disease, etc. They were
taken from the fighting ships, as the
Northern latitude will aid in their recov-
cry, and also because sickness on board
ship has a depressing influence on the
fighting crews. The sufferers, both sick
and wounded, show their delight when
taken aboard the Solace. 1t Is appointed
like modern hospital, with cheerful
wards and every facility toward restoring

logging plant, consisting Of one OF the
latest improved pull boats, with O
house boat for the accommodation OF
the operstors, left for the Pee Dee
River, where they will begin at once to
get logs from the swamrs, not beng
dependent any longer upon the freshets
to float the logs out. This large mill
plant has been shu. down for more
than two months, owing to lack OF
logs.
Messrs. Doyle, Thicker Il Doyle,
who have been operating a saw mill
plant at Olivet, on the Black River,
have purchased the property known as
the Palmetto Cypress Company site,

Might Have Been Serious.

A young lady from Augusta had 8
narrow escape from what might haye
been serious street car accident IN
Broad street at Charleston. She was
riding down toward the old postotfice
and had just reached the corner OF
Church street. when an East Bay car
turned in for the Battery. The young
lady evidently thought that the car
would run on out to Meeting street, for
as it made the tnrn she ran on the
fender with her wheel. The motorman
put on brakes and the car came to a
sudden stop. The wheel was pitched to
one side and the rider made quick
grab for the platform railing. it was q
close call. The car was stopped and
the lady got her wheel and rode away.

was invigorating and delightful.
Arriving at the Island the people
proceeded at once to the parade ground
and amused themselves by inspecting
the tents of the soldiers village and
listening to the music by the splendid
First Artillery Band. Time passed
pleasantly enough, and when the hour
arrived for the flag presentation oil
hands gathered on the west and south
sides of the open ground, just south of
the tents.
Andersons heavy battery was called

and marched to position facing south,

rade ground. The corps of cadets Of the

on the left of the heavy battery. This
formed two sides Of square.

One of the methods he adopted to
ascertain the wishes of his pat

return postal card on which was
to be written an answer to the
query: "How shall I run my
paper?" A prize was offered for
the best answer received. One
intelligent but plain spoken pat
ron, fired back the postal with
the endorsement. "Run it as you
id pleased" The editor ex-
amined the replies critically,
thought over the matter awhile
and finally awarded the prize tc
