The Chickamauga Monument.

The monument, erected by South
Carolina on the Chickamauga battle
field in memory of her sons who
fought and died in that battle, will
be unveiled May 9th with appropri
ate ceremonies.
South Carolina was represented in
the battle by Kershaw's Brigade,
composed of the second, third,
seventh, eighth and fifteenth regi-
mcnts and James battalion; Mani
gault's Brigade, composed of the
10th and 10Th regiments; the 24th
South Carolina regiment of Gists'
Brigade and Culpeppcr's battery.
The figures showing the casualties
in these commands are interesting.
Kershaw's loss in killed was 65 or
10 SO to regiment. Manigault's
loss was Sc killed or 13 20 a regi-
mcnt. The 24th S. G. lost 43 killed
and Culpepper's battery had none
killed and only ID wounded.
Ten men killed in regiment in
one battle is not an unusual loss.
Kcrshaw's Brigade at Gettysburg,
when very much reduced in numbers
on account Of hard marching, lost
115 men killed or 10 So men to the
regiment, which was almost double
the loss at Chickamauga.
At Fredericksburg the 3D. S. c..
regiment of Kershaw's brigade out
of 400 men lost 167 in killed and
wounded.
At Gettysburg Pettigrew's brigade
lost in killed ~ men to the regiment
and McGowan's brigade 90 men to
the regiment.
At Gettysburg the Goth North
Carolina regiment lost in killed SO
men or 81 more than Kershaw's
whole brigade lost at Chickamauga.
At Gaines Mill Orr's Rifle rcgi-
ment lost 81 men killed or 1G more
men than Kcrshaw's whole brigade
did at Chckamauga.
Counting both sides the per cent
age of loss was as follows in some of
tie more noted battles: Chicamauga,
25; Gettysburg, 80; Cold IIarbor,
33; Second Manassas, AZ; Shiloh,
20; Murfrcesboro, al.
In Dickerts History of Kcrshaw's
brigade there is no statement OF tho
losses of that command in any OF
the battles in which it took part, but
certainly it must have fought in
more desperate and bloody battles
than Chickamauga.-Abbcvillc Me-

A COLD BLOoDED MURDER.
Fearful Tragedy In New England Telephone
0tfice-Insanity the Cause.

Portland, Me-, April 24.-One of
the bloodiest tragedies in the history
of Portland in recent years occurred
this afternoon on the fourth floor of
the building occupied by the New
England Telephone Company.
The principal actor in the affair
was George II. Brainerd, foreman
electrician, who has been employed
for the company for almost twenty
years. For some unknown reason
and without the slightest provoca-
ton while chatting with his fellow
workmen he whipped out a 3S-calibcr
revolver and opened fire on the party
around him. He was evidently an
expert marksman, for in brief
space of time he killed one man out
right, fatally wounded another man
and probably fatally wounded two
others. Then he made an attempt
to kill Deputy Marshal w. A. Firth
when the officer tried to place him
under arrest.
The man who was killed outright
was II. Farnham, Of Boston, the
electrical engineer of the New Eng
land Telephone Company. Earl
Buxton, another victim, died in the
hospital tonight. Elmer u. Lane,
of Mechanic Fall, and James Wads-
worth, of Lewiston, are believed to
be fatally injured.
The only charitable motive that
can be assigned for the crime is
insanity, yet neither before nor after
the tragedy did Brainerd exhibit
any marked evidence of mental
arrangement.

State Confederate Pensions.

Columbia, S. O., April 24.-The
State Board of Pension Commits
sioners finished their work to-day.
The pension list this year shows a
decrease of 1868 as compared with
last year. The reduction is largely.
due to the requirement. that new ap-
plications be made under the recent
ACT OF the General Assembly. I'm
der the old Act any widow of Con-
federate Veteran who was in needy
circumstances was entitled to pen
sion, whereas under the present Act
widow to receive pension must
herself be GO years old or over, or be
the widow Of soldier killed during
the war or who died of wounds or
disease during the war. The Pension
Board, on account of this new phase
OF the law, refused applications for
the widows of many veterans. In
some cases tho widows were as Young
as 30 years and many were only 40
years old.
The Pension Board could not fix
the amounts that were to be received
with absolute certainty, as pension
applications are liable to drift in
until the money is actually distribut-
ed. AS far as it is possible to appor,
ton the fund, upon the figures in
hand, the pro rata share for each
pensioner will be under the 500. 900
appropriation
19o0-Class A, $72 each Glass
b, s16.40 each Glass @, s12.3O each.
19O1-Class A, $96 each Glass
B, 1882 each; Glass Q, s14.64 each.
The Comptroller General has asked
the Attorney General for an opinion
as to whether he can distribute $780,
600 instead of 100000 to the Con-
federatc pensioners. 1t will be re-
membered that the Pension Act car
ried s150,000, while the appropria-
ton bill only has 100000 in it.
Mr. Dcrham will be guided by the
opinion that he receives. If the de-
cision be favorable to the distribution
of the $150,000 the pro rata distri-
button will be Glass A, SOC; Glass
b, $29.80; Class @, $22.35.
1t will be interesting to note how
the pensioners Of the State are dis
tributed, and how some counties
have a decidedly larger number of
pensioners than might be expected.
Of course, in Greenville and Spar
tanburg, and the upper tier of coun-
ties, where there is a heavy white
population, the numbers can be fullv
understood, but how some counties
with comparative small white popu.
lation can have so many more pen
sioners than Charleston or Orange
burg, for instance, is not so easily
understood. The tables show the
following classification of the pen
sioners of the State for the present
wear by counties

Presidents Special Train.

The composition of the special
train upon which the President and
his party will make the 10000 mile
trip to the Pacific and return has
been determined. 1t will consist of
an engine and seven cars, including
the private car "Olympia," which
will be occupied by President and
Mrs. Mckinley. The "Olympia"
will be used only on the trip out.
The return will be made in the pri-
vate car "Campania." 1t will be
one of the finest trains ever put on a
railroad track. The "Olympia," in
which the President will go west,
has been used by him on several
other occasions. 1t is 70 feet long,
has five private rooms and one sofa
section. Two Of the rooms contain
brass beds, large mirrors, wardrobes
and every convenience. The dining
and observation room is located at
the rear Of the car. 1t is 16 feet
long and has an extension table and
contains two cabinets. 1t is finished
in vcrmillion /; the private rooms in
maple, mahogany and koko, and the
kitchen in English oak. The car is
lighted with gas and equipped with
steam heat. The "Campania" is
almost counterpart of the "Olym-
pia," except it contains a parlor in
which is sideboard, an organ and a
writing desk.

Reliable information has been re-
ceivcd in Beaufort to the effect that
the Charleston and Western Caro-
lima Railroad has been acquired from
the Atlantic Coast Line people by a
new company, chartered as the Lou
isvillc and Port Royal Railroad Com
pany. This line, formerly the Port
Royal and Augusta Railroad, ex-
tends from Port Royal to Anderson,
South Ca, olina, and it is the purpose
OF the new company to build from
the latter point through Rabun Gap
in the Blue Ridge mountains to Lou

THE SWEET POTATO CROP.
1t Is Very Profitable When Managed lnteIll..

gently--About Fertilizers.
This crop is not fully appreciated.
When farmer knows how TO keep
them there is fair profit in raising
them. If sold at 30 to 40 cents a
bushel before they arc put up, there
is profit. They are handy to have
around from September to May.
Fried potatoes for breakfast, baked
ones for dinner, roasted for supper,
with occasional puddings and GUS
tards every Sunday, are very helpful
in hungry family. Harvie Jordan,
in the Atlanta Journal, gives the fol-
lowing suggestions as to planting
and cultivating the crop.
Freshly cleared sandy soil, we'll
drained, makes the heaviest yields of
potatoes. Ordinarily fertile soil,
properly manured, is preferable to
very rich land. Except in soft,
sandy soils the land should be broken
deep and close, and narrowed to a
finely pulvcrized tilth. Particularly
should this be done with our stiff
clay lands. After good breaking,
lay off the rows three to four feet
apart with long shovel and dis
tribute the fertilizers. If barnyard
manure is used, distribute in the fur
rows from four to five tons per acre.
If commercial fertilizers are to be
used q good formula can be made of
the following:

Flood Sweeps Ohio Valley.

One of the most disastrous floods
in the history of the country swept
the Ohio valley last Saturday and
Sunday, and had not entirely sub
sided up to Monday night. There
was heavy fall of wet snow that
piled to depth Of from Is inches
to three feet, and on top of this
there came torrents of rain. The
Ohio and Monongohela livcrs rose
rapidly, and soon the stage of the
water was high above the danger
point at Pittsburg, and all of the
other cities along the route. Rail
road traffic was stopped by high
water and landslides, and hundreds
of factories were flooded, throwing
out of employment more than $4,000
men. The property loss runs up
into the millions, though the loss Of
life is fortunately very small.
