By this time the entire brigade staff
was out of its tent, wondering at the
grief of the General. Eben Clunkback
walked over to where the mule was tied
and saw protruding from the ground
the hilt CT the Generals sword. He
pulled it out of the ground, united the
knot and holding it, handle forward,
approached the General.
HAh believe this yer is yo' swohd,
Gennle," he said.
The General took his face out of the
towel and looked up. Seeing the long
lost weapon he broke into a Shrek of
delight. Grasping the sword he re-
placed it nervously in the scabbard and
beamed on the staff.
"Ah wouldn't have lost that re
swohd, sub, eff the Pres'det had offahed
me Pohto Rico 60 it. Ah'll cut off a
few mo- hundred heads with that
swohd befo' l die" he continued, pat
ting his scabbard tenderly.
But how bout breakfus'?" inquired
the chaplain, anXiously.
The entire brigade staff looked upon
this as a most opportune question, as
was readily seen by the eager glances
they shot at the General. The latter
noticed this and seemed to be somewhat
taken aback at the impression that the
commanding officer was to provide
meals.
"We'l have to recruit a commits
sary, sub, but at present his duties car
be filled by ouah quatahmastah! OH

Kinley to o. K. the requisition, sub"
This message was delivered, al
though the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES was
standing within a few feet of the Gen
eral at the time. Dubious looks at the
General and the surrounding country
followed the order to have the supplies
charged at the store as, without an ex-
ception, the entire brigade staff, includ-
ing the General, had large accounts
there already, and there was some
doubt as to whether the grocer, Mr..
Kenyon, would let them have any more
credit.
A stern look from the General, how
ever, made the observation-disclosures
move slowly away in the direction. ~f
the store, although every little w-aie
he would turn and look back at the
group doubtingly. Finally ne disap-
peared around a bend in the road and
the staff went down to the stream to
wash.
Having nothing better to do before
breakfast the General sat down and be-
gan to sharpen his sword on a large
stone, and ave for the occasional rat
tie of his medals and the braying of
his charger there was quiet in camp.

had not disappeared before the warmth
OF its golden rays, when a solitary
horseman appeared at the crest of the

And it was the smallest, most woe

to prevent a stumble, the General, his
shoulders thrown back with a mill

eyes and beloved loudly.

contrary, the stirrups hung about
waist high with the General, whose
feet, encased in his big army boots and
adorned with massive spurs, dragged
on the ground, adding to the noise
made by the clanking of his sword and
the jingling of his medals.
In a few minutes the army of the

Harry McConville at Home.

When the Teller reporter called upon
young Harry McConville he was in the
midst of family reunion the hero of the
occasion. This seventeen year old
soldier boy has grown manly in an.
pearance in the period of his brief
absence. His face bears the lines of
/ sorrow and care. He is sallow from the
effects of the tropic climate of the Ph;lin-
pines

well but homesick. They have almos,
despaired. The soldier boys look forward
to the end of their two years term of Ell
iistment as almost i1terminable A,
ieast' they did when they were idle in
camp. They are not so much dissatisfied
since they have seen active service. The
battles relieved the suspense that came
from months of idleness.
Harry had not heard of the nrouot;or
OF Robert Stanton till his arrival in Lew
iston. He said the appointment to Lieut.
bafDonr's place was the very best tina,

it done and never opened their

" Jesus PAID It All.'

An exchange is responsible for
this, says the anderson Intrlligcnccr /:
"rhird note. Every editor has re-
ccivcd them. The postmaster sends
them to the editor. The postmaster
is not to blame. For instance, there
was a man by the name of, well, say
Tim Short, who sent us three notices
to stop his paper ; he did not want
it any longer. We wondered what
was the matter. Upon investigating
our subscription book we found Tim
was $3.50 short. lie never paid a
cent and yet he stopped his paper as a
matter of economy to us. A few
evenings age we stepped into church
and Tins mclodious voice rang out
loud and clear in that old soul
stirring song, tJcsus Paid it All.'
He might have been mistaken !;
but his earcstmcss impressed us. The
next day we sent him receipt in
full, begging his pardon for not
knowing that he had made an assign
mcnt of his liabilities to the Lord"
But this seems to be only one side
of the question. Did Tim ever order
the paper in the first place ? Is it
not likely that the editor only sent
him the paper originally in order to
"eXtcnd his circulation 2" Is it not
possible that at the time Tim was
taking and paying for paper of his
own selection ? Maybe Tim had
never read the gratuitous paper at
all but surely the editor should
have had consideration enough to
stop Tins paper on one notice with
out waiting for three. Some people
are inclined to treat Tim unfairly
If the editor had not sent the paper
until he had orders, he would not
havc any reasonable ground for
grievance against poor Tim. If it is
a fact that Tim made an assignment
Of his liabilities to the Lord, we feel
pretty sure that this particular claim
must have either been forgotten OF
thrown out. Even the Lord does
not pay unjust claims.-Y orkvilIo

Something About Governors.

Since the ratification OF the Con-
stitution of the State, June 3, 1880,
only two Governors have died in
office. Charles Pinckney was Gov
ernor ut that time. In 1888 Patrick
Noble, Of AbbcviIle, was elected
Governor. The Legislature up to
the civil war elected the Governor.
That was done early in December
and the Inauguration took place n
few days after the election. In 1910
Patrick Noble died and was succeed
ed by B. Il. lIcnncgan, Lieutenant
Governor. That was the first time
in the history of the State when a
Lieutenant Governor was called on
to fill the Executive Office. No other
Governor died while in Office until
the death Of Governor Ellcrbe. So
far as we know every Governor after
Mobiles time served his full term
until lIampton's time. lie was
elected Governor in 1876 and again
in 1878. Soon after lis second cleo
tion he was elected to the Senate of
the United States and Lieutenant
Governor Simpson succeeded him.
Before his term expired he was
elected Chief Justice and j. Is. Jctcr,
President pro tenn. of the Senate,
took the oath of Office and was Gov
crnor for a few months. In 1880
General Johnson lIagood was elected
Governor. When the election Of
1882 came he announced that he was
not Il candidate for re- election. 4
scramble for the Office followed and
when the convention seemed to be
tending towards deadlock, Hugh S.
ThOmpson's name was put forward
and he was elected, with John G..
Sheppard AZ Lieutenant Governor.
In 1884 Hugh ). Thompson and his
entire ticket were reelected. In
July, 1856, Governor Thompson re-
signed the GoVernorship to accept
the Office of Assistant Secretary Of
the Treasury under President Clcvc-
land. Mr.. Sheppard then became
Gov crnor and served until the end
of the term. In 1856 John Peter
Richardson and w. l.. Mauldin as
running mate were elected and re-
elected in 1888. I'm 1890 the Till
man regime came in and each Gov
crnor has served his full term until
the death Of Governor Ellcrbr.-
