THE HON. PHILIP HOWARD, BAG

THE HON. PHILIP HOWARD, bach
elor, 30consul Of the United States
Of America at c., never knew exactly
how he succeeded in securing his APP
pointment, but he did know that in APP
plying for it, he had vaguely imagined
that he was TO have nothing 10 do ex-
cept TO draw his meager salary and
amuse himself. Now, after six months
at his post, he had made three impor-
tant discoveries: First, that there
was a great deal of serious work to
do; second, that he, being ignorant OF
the language. was absolutely incompe-
tent TO do it; and third, that he was
hopelessly in love with Mile. MarcelIe
du Pont, the young lady whom he had
engaged to teach him French. Mar
cello du Pont was a sweet, gentle girl
OF 20, with a face as fair as an Anda-
Iusian day, and voice that breathed
music. After the third lesson she saw
the love-light in Philips eye.
"Madamoiselle," Philip said, abrupt
ly, what is French for hearth"

"Bien," rejoined Philip, "and how

"And how would you say: Il love

An Abstract of General Noises Address
Prepared by Tenth Grade.

Lee and Jackson-A Character Con-
trast.
A tree is judged by the fruitit bears,
and so country is judged it's repre-
sentatives. This country is compare
lively young, and it is little surpris-
ing that it should have had such men
as Lee and Jackson to rise before the
world as its representatives in so short
a time.
General Jackson was a Puritan, of
Puritan stock, strong in his views, but
narrow-we may say bigoted. He was
a man of deep religious convictions.
When at the first battle of Manassas,
the troops of Bee. Barlow and others
were being overcome by Mcdowell
and his army, Bee rode up to Jackson
Jackson said to him, We'll sir, We'll
give them the bayonet. . These words
have made him famous the world over.
General Bee called to his troops to
look at Jackson standing like a
stone wall. - Thus Jackson received
the name Stonewall'' from a South
Carolinian.
He was rapidly promoted to the
command Of the troops in the Valley
of Virginia where, as division COM
mander he led campaigns which made
him famous the world over for the
rapidity and dash Of his attack and
the stubborness of his defense.
General Lee, on the other hand, was
a cavalier, of old and distinguished
ancestry. He received military edu
cation and on leaving school he enter
ed the United States Army, of which
be could have been commander-in
chief, had he not considered it his
duty to leave when Virginia, his native
state. seeded. He was made COM
mander-in-chief of the Confederate
Army and for four years in gigantic
struggle, kept at hey an army thrice
the strength of his own. During this
period with this high rank, he bore
the arduous duties and the vast re-
sponsi pertaining to that rank.
AS subordinate, General Jackson
was unsurpassed. He was Lees right
band, but Lee was Jackson's head.
Lees was the master mind that plan
ned the campaigns Of the lesser officer
AS we see them, the one of sterling
worth and honesty, yet narrow the
other, also of sterling worth but broad
of view and more perfectly shaped
along all his lines.
AS generals; the one. subordinate
commander, was unsurpassed in his
strict and sure obedience to the or
ders of his superior, brave in battle
and firm of purpose the other. the
general that planned the brilliant
moves executed by the subordinate;
full of resources and unlimited capa-

DEATH.

Died in this city last Thursday
night, after brief illness of pneu-
monia, Mr.. William White Dick in
the 54th year of his age.
Mr.. Dick was born in Sumter Dis
trict on June 6th, J84S, and was the
SON of Dr.. Thomas Morritt Dick and
Elizabeth White, his wife, and was
thus descended from two of the Oldest
and most prominent families in this
section of the State.
His parents having both died whilst
he was quite young, he was reared by
his maternal uncle, the late William
Nelson White, at his plantation resi-
dence. a few miles north of Sumter,
C. II.
He pursued his academic studies in
the schools of Sumter and at Cheraw,
S. c., until the latter part of the
year 1854. At that time the sixteen-year-
old boys were called into the service
of the Confederacy and Mr.. Dick at
once volunteered. He served in the
State troops during the brief remain
ing period of the civil war, and until
the star of the ill-fated Southern Con-
federacy went down forever.
In 1875 he married his cousin, Miss
Elizabeth, Lee, daughter OF the late
Col George ". Lee, of Sumter, and
shortly thereafter removed to the city
of Charleston, which has ever since
been the place Of his family residence.
He then became engaged in mercan-
tile pursuits and for many years repre-
sented prominent wholesale houses Of
that city, principally as travelling
salesman. For the past few years and
until his death he has represented IN
a similar capacity leading brokerage
firm of this city.
These occu pations brought him into
intimate personal and business rela-
tions with many persons and firms
chiefly in Central and Eastern Carroll
ma, and his death will be deplored by
a wide circle of friends and acqualnt-
ances.
His urbanity of manner, the genu-
inc warmth of his friendship, his
probity and integrity of character and
his unfailing courtesy won for him
many friends and stamped him the
true and perfect gentleman.
He is survived by his widow, three
sons and a daughter. The funeral
services were held in the Presbyterian
Church at 4.30 o'clock Friday
afternoon, and his remains We're
carried to Charleston by the
afternoons train and the interment
made in Magnolia Ceemtery. For
wears he was an officer of the West
Minister Presbyterian Church, OF that
CITY.
