might require in furtherance Of these
orders. 1t was signed, Abraham Lin
coln." This was about August 1, 1863.
Montgomery went home and at once
showed his letter to the commander at
Vicksburg, who ISSUED orders that he
should be protected in the possession
of his property. The president direct
ed the secretary of the treasury to in
struct agents to let Montgomery alone,
and he was not disturbed. After the
war; he went quietly ahead with his
business. He saved money, and kept
the hands pretty we'll together though
they were few. During the years of re-
construction, Montgomery went on
with his cotton growing, and attended
closely to business. His credit IN
Vicksburg and New Orleans was equal
to that Of any planter in the country;
his orders for supplies were promptly
filled, and his payments were made at
the promised time.
In 1882, Montgomery felt that he was
getting too old to manage properly the
business of the estates. So friendly
suit Of foreclosure was brought, and the
great estate, Joseph Davis having been
dead some years, reverted to JEFFERSON
Davis. He and Montgomery settled
their accounts, and Montgomery, after
that settlement, which assured him
some 100000, was the richest colored
man in Mississippi. Two years there
after he died. No man, white or black,
could have been more sincerely mourn
ed. Montgomery's funeral was attend
ed by Mr.. Davis and by all the prom
inent planters within 20 or 30 miles.
In an address at the grave, Mr.. Davis
said: II have had in my life many
true and faithful friends, but none
more faithful than was he whom this
day we have laid to rest. RUFUS

that is of interest in the social, relig-
ious, educational, agricultural, CONNER
cial and industrial affairs Of this imme-
diate section. Next after York county,
follows the same interest In the affairs

ing. After that, Is published the more
important news Of the state, the nation
and the world, all In a condensed, but
comprehensive form. The paper Is IS
sued twice-a-week in order that its
readers may be kept In closer touch
with everyday developments, and each
issue is intended to contain condensed
SYNOPSIS of all the more important
events current since the preceding is

tention to accuracy, comprehensibil1ty
and promptness, and try to make pa

events Of the day, without having to do
unnecessary reading. In addition to
close attention to the news, the literary
feature of THE ENQUIRER Is also i'm
portant. It aims to instruct, entertain
and inform. 1t seeks to present moth
ing except Of a wholesome, elevating
character, that will sustain the old and
inspire the young in the higher ideals
of life and duty. In all Of the features
outlined, THE ENQUIRER excels all
other South Carolina newspapers, and
has but few rivals in the entire coun-
try. These results are the product OF
years Of experience and Of ceaseless
toll, as we'll as Of heavy expense, the
like Of which is not approached by any
other weekly or semi-weekly newspaper
in the south. In printing only what
should be printed and leaving out what
should not be printed. 1t Is without
superior and the highest ambition of
the publishers is to continue to sustain
and upbuild the reputation the paper
enjoys in all its most praiseworthy fea-

His Wife Told Him.

Bishop Benjamin J. Kelley. who spent
some days in London, both going to
and returning from Rome, says the Sa-
vannah Morning News, has brought
back with him to Savannah, story
that the bishop says illustrates the typ
ical Britisher's perception of joke.
He has a nephew in the British army,
who entertained Bishop Kelley while
he was in London at the service club to
which he belonged. Sitting in the club
reading room with party Of men, Off
GERS and civilians as we'll, when the
Irish spirit Of mischief, bubbling out
from between the warp woof of his
cloth, induced the bishop to say:
by the way, perhaps one of you gen
tlemen can settle question that has
often troubled my curiosity. Is it pos
sible to make butter Of goats milk?'
The Englishmen around the table
stared at the bishop with well-bred
amazement, somewhat startled, SEEM
ingly, that clergyman should be real
ly curious on such subject. None OF
them ventured, however. to answer the
question.
"I don't know, I'm sure" said one OF
them, "but I'll awsk my wife"
"Oh, don't trouble yourself" said the
bishop. 1T was mere idle curiosity on
my part" But as the party broke up
and started towards the door the bish-
op nudged his obliging acquaintance
elbow and murmured: Il should think
you could, you know, because a goats
a good butter"
Hail." said the Englishman, with
bland and perfect uncomprehension-
and the bishop went on his way to
Rome.
Some weeks later he returned to Lon
don and to the same club, where as
sembled in the course Of time much the
same party. He Of the obliging dispo-
sition button-holed the bishop on the
spot.
Il say" he said, "you remember you
awsked me if goats milk would produce
butter"
YES" said the bishop.
well, ! awsked my wife and She
said It would make very good butter.
indeed"
"Ah," said the bishop.
And 1 say" continued the English
man, with a constantly rising inf1ec-
ton, "you remember you said you
thought it could, because the goat Is
good butter"
YES" said the bishop, possibly in
some trepidation of spirit
well, my wife says" said the Eng
lishman, that was the joke"
Whereupon the right reverend bish-
op of Savannah, unable longer to con-
tain his mirth, turned and fled.
