In Slavery Days.

The Southern Farm Magazine is at
some pains to show that story cur.
rent in the press, illustrative Of the
fact that Gen. Hampton did not know
some of his slaves at sight, was sppli.
cable to several thousand men who
owned slaves to the number of O hun
dred and more. The particular Incl
dent CT the STORY, that Gen. Hampton
once met one Of his farm laborers on
the road and asked him "who he be.
longed to" is familiar to everybody in
the South, as it is localized in every
county with different owner in each
case Some ee .he facts ~hioh the
Magazine mentions in it's article are
interesting, however, in widely diff

The total white population Of the
South in 1860, according to the GEN.
sus, it is noted, was 5000, 76O, Of which
384,s64 owned the 1888, ,696 slaves
in the country, excluding 2 owned in
Kansas, Is in Nebraska, 20 in Utah
and 18 in New Jersey. One man
alone owned more than 1000 slaves
and he was South Carolinian.
Eighty-eight owners, in nine States,
mad more than 3O0 each, and thirty of
the eighty were South Carolinians.
One.ffth of all the slave e-holders-or,

and the greatest number Of these small
holders in one State was in Virginis,
which had also the largest proportion
Of slaves, $50, 1868.
The figures Jus. given show that eli
the slaves were owned by less than s
per cent Of the white population, and
were themselves but half as numerous
as the white population.
In these conditions, seeing that the
slave worked only for his owner, it is
evident that the Northern idea that

I'd fire from the repeating guns of the
enemy To my inexperienced ears it
was as if giants were engaged in rip

entrenched. They had ample artillery

troops TO avoid fighting whenever
they could. on his march to the sea,

bered with the wounded. If the Off
Ger in command of the militia had

their lines, they did retreat Immediate

This force was largely recruited
from our best families. 1t was COM

Bonnie Blue Flag mas grown to be eleven, he shook out the folds and the flag open ed, disclosing the single star surrounded by ten sisters.
 Several States lay claim to the flag that bears a single star. Texas has a lone star Our North Car olina State flag bears a single star between the leters IN. CT on blue field. Above 1t is the inscription May 20, 1775,' which was the Mecklen- burg CN. O Declaration of Independence; and below 1t is the inscription, April tz, l77s,s the date of our Revolutionary Congress at Halifax. N. c. But there is red and white bar perpendicular to the blue field. So We find that no State can properly lay claim to the blue flag with a single star. It was no doubt evolved by Mccarthy from the enthusi- asm of the time: but South Carolina may have given him the idea which he wove into verse. Harry Mccarthy has not much else to keep his memory dear to the land he loved so well and served so faithfully. Let us leave to him that which is his beyond a doubt--the authorship of "The Sonnie Blue Flag"

 Therefore, on every morrow. are we wreathing A fiowery band to tind to the earth. Spite of despondence, of the inhuman dearth Of noble natures of the gloomy days. Of all the unhealthy and oerdaTkened ways Made for our searching; yes, in spite of all, Some shape of beauty moves away the pail From our dark spirits. Such the sun. the

The College Girl.

Chicago Chronicle.
 Prof. Katharine Lee Bates of Welles- lev. writing to 'Ehe Boston Transcript, contrasts the college girl of today with the one of twenty years ago.
 Then the college girl was an exception in her community. She was usually the daughter of d struggling country minis ter, a missionary, or lecturer-that Is to say. she came from household of plain living and high thinking. "She was stoopshouldered, perhaps, and deficient in social ease, but she took her mind se- riously."
 Today Professor Bates finds the college girl ia the merry foreground of the stu dent world. going to college for ''the life. She is well gowred, athletic, radiant She Is free from morbidness and is not fright ened over religious doubts. She will be less easily imposed upon than her mother by auackery in print or on the platform.
 In other words. to put it briefly. the col- lege girl of the period thinks in her heart that youth, beauty, charm, the genius for affairs arc the points that count for a woman of the world. All of which means that college life does not tend to destroy the "eternal womanly' but is develop ing A new and most interesting type of It.

of the water and nailed on rough-look- ing block, at which the workmen sits for weeks at a time carefully putting In place shred after shred.
 It is this length of time and tediousness in labor that accounts for the high price placed OF Panama hats. An idea of the real situation in Panama may be had from the following communication re- ceived by S. M. Jackson & Co. of New York, from their South American agent:
 Replying to your valued inquiry of April 25,'' said this correspondent ''re- garding which we have had to make in- uuirIes, we find that the finest hat re- quired by you would necessitate four months to manufacture, and would cost between SSO and s100 in gold"
 When hat costs sl00 in its unfinished condition at the place of manufacture, 1t Is not to be wondered at that the same hat, after going through the customs house here, where 35 per cent. duty 's exacted, should retail at $500.
 Thero Is one distinction in Panamas Of the utmost importance, a distinction that If oticed, stamps the wearer as a real swell" or or tho other hand pretendsr Your genuine. high-priesd Panama IS made in one piece, and has no lining while the inferior style of hat, made Tor the vast part in Antioquia, Colombia, IS woven III TWO DdILS anu Has l The latter Is regarded with contempt by South Americans, though 1t oftentimes pases in the United States for the real thtng' and Is priced accordingly.
 The perfect I'anamas lra woven by the women of Ecuador and those that live .n the two provinces of ToEma and Suaex, Colombia. The Ipen can rarely be induced to work. no matter ow considerable the pay, and contractors have about ceased trying to galvanizs them with energy. But the wcmen are more industrious, and plod along week after week tearing the pIim leGf with certain nicety, and then weaving in the snreds. one at a time.
 The value of a hat entirely depends up- on its texture and pliability. One that costs $500, for example. should be SO close ly woven as to apear practically smooth to the naked eye. It is. of course made in one piece, and If the owner has not been cheated, he should be able to squeeze his hat through a finger ring. A hat capable of this treatment Is about as rare as a blue diamond
 There Is no telling where the Panama hat craze will end. or the amount of money that will be spent thereon this season. The masculine population seem to have gone quite mad over 1t. and dealers are taking advantage of the mo- ment to reap a harvest
 Tn other years. said a fashionable State Street natter recently, "I would have sold several thousand stif-brim Mackinaws in the first part of the sea- son. but this season have sold less than a hundred. Only Panamas are wanted.
 "Women. too, have caught the infection. and you will find that before the summer is half over fashion will decree that to be up to date 6 woman must own Pal anna hat"

 The Di. ector then presented before the Chapter a petition to Judge Skeggs re- questing him to use his influence in hav- ing adopted in the schools of this county the Listo, ies and literature selected by the U. D. C. of the State in which there are records of the Confederate heroes. ,ns petition was signed by all officers and members present.
 A new entertainment committee was appointed. consisting of Mrs. ". M. GI'ubbs, Miss Annie Leigh Harris and Miss Annie Lou Jones.
 The Chapter adopted the following new resolutions.
 Article 1st-That the President appoint committee If three. 1t being their duty to keep advised as near as possible, of the health of all Confederate Veterans in Decatur.
 When any are sick one of the commit tee must make call Of inquiry and carry flowers. if practicable, in the name of Joe Wheeler Chapter.
 When one Is found in need. 1t must be reported to the President, who with the other members of the Executive Board will act as they think best The commit tee to be changed every three months.
 Article 2nd-That the Historian be di- rected to see personally as many Confed- crate Veterans as possible and request each to write an account of his war ex- perience, giving the name of his company and officers and where enlisted. Ask them to give minute descriptions of every bat tie in which they fought, whether they were wounded or not and who if any were promoted for bravery
 These records are to be safely kept in a book for that purpose by the Historian as property of Joe Wheeler Chapter, U. D c. By doing this we will assist in making true history for the South, also making 1t easier for descendants of the Confederate Veterans to obtain undis- puted credentials.
 Article 3d--That a record be kept of the names of every member of Joe Wheeler Chapter with a true statement of their claims to the title of U. D. c. Each
