State troops enrolled 3, $50. or et1ec-
tire GIT, aggregating, as above stated,
7l0S3 officers and men enrolled, OF g.
S3S effective.
The magnificent way and the rare
unainity with which South Carolina
stood by her colors and redeemed the
pledge Of 1860 of life and honor is best
illustrated By the simple fact that the
voting population of the State was but
so, 0OQ in 1860
But this does not limit the contribu-
ton If the State. Entitled to equal
honor with the officers and men Of the
line ase those self-sacri6cing and skill
full men who composed the engineer
corps, the medical staff and the band Of
chaplSns, as we'll as the quartermaster
and conmissary department.
Nor should We overlook the services
of the signal corps; the Captains
Courageous Of the blockade runners,
and the officers and men that South
Carolius gave to the iron-clads in the
harbor Of Charleston and to the Con-
federate States navy, the heroism Of
which ismatter Of history.
In rev viewing further the contribution
Of this State to the cause Of secession
and Staterights, must be taken in ac-
count the military skill Of the general
officers from South Caroli'.a in the Con-
federate amies, Of whom, appointed
from Scatl Carolina or from other
States, the records sh~W FIVE lieutenant
generals, sis msjor generals, besides a
long array If brigaGier generals, colo
nels and majors OF ether commis-
stoned, noncomnlssioned officers and
privates coming under this head there
is no record.
So much, oncisely stated, for South
Carolinas contribution to the ca1se to
which she W,s pledged by the ordi-
nance Of secession, passed December 20,
1860.

INSURANCE FIGURES.
Nearly Two Million Dollars the
Amount of Gross Premiums.

Daring the past year the insurance
companies Of all kinds doing business in
this State have done an enormous busi.
ness, to Judge from the summarized
statement made up by the comptroller
general Wednesday for his aSrua! re-
por;. The statement shows TIA: the
increase has been close to one million
dollars as compared with last year.
'l'ne statement last year shows that
the gross premiums collected in THU
State By accident, life ard fire iusur-
aucc companies for the three quarter.
ending Sept. 25, 1898, amounted to
1912, ,26l25, and the one-half of one
per cent tax thereon was So, 56l "a.
Thi: years statement covers full
year and shows that the gross premiums
amounted to $l,94S. S24 39-nearly
two millions of dollars--and the one
half OF one per cent. thereon to be
50, 743. 63.
The statement by quarters is as fol-
lorS.
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1900-01-10

But this, owing to the imperfection
Of some of the rolls reported, does not
give the full showing. AS to the 81
infantry company rolls, 26 contain no
report Of died in battle or from
wounds; 43 no report of died from
disease" l67 no report Of died in pri-
son, and is no report Of wounded :"
AS to the Sc artillery company rolls,
% contain go report of died in battle
or from wounds" 25 no report of died
from disease; 49 no report Of died in
prison, and q no report Of wounded. ="
Applying now the rule Of averages to
these incomplete rolls, it appears that
the infantry casualties may fairly be
put at 81, l46; the cavalry at l, 739, and
the artillery at l, 1863, making total Of
24,245, Classified as follows:
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1900-01-10

Ia a00ltl0n, the onclaI RECORDS snow
50 companies of State troops or re-
serves, with an enrolment, Including
field apd staff, of 4,944 enrolled, Or
4,9ll total efective-which is known
to be far below the actual figures, since
there were organized at least II regi-
meu;s of reserves in addition to other
State troops.
I, thus appears. from the figures Of
the rolls in the State historians Gus
,ody and duty fled, that South Caro-
lima furnished for Confederate service
6l,609 officers and me0 total enrolled,
or SO 965 total effective, and for State
service I, ,9A officers and men total en-
rolled, or 4,94l total effective.
Making now the moderate estimate,
and the estimate that the truth of his
tory warrants that 5 per cent. Of Con-
federate and 25 per per cent. CT State
troops are not carried on the rolls, it
further appears that South Carolina
gave to the Southern Confederacy a
otal of II ,0S3 officers and men enrolled
or 50 S3S efTecti1e as follows.

cipitated aad then grandly breasted,
receiving her full share Of the fiery
bolts of battle from 1861 to the end.
The report Of the State historian, laid

deaths from disease and in prison, and
the wounded to be as follows:

Long Island Railroad made another striking ad-
vance in yesterdays market, comparatively light
transactions. The amount Of this stock available
for speculative purposes is small and in conse-
Quence the slightest demand causes a sharp ad-

Street that the Vanderbilts have secured substan-
tial interest in the property, but no one can be

floating about the Street.
