SKETCHES BY EX-CONFED.
he Writes Of People of Ante-Bcllum
Times.

The subject Of this sketch, Henry
Burton, lived at tho old Burton home
stead about ono mile from Longshore.
MIR. Burton was born in 1877 and
died in loI2--nearIy So years. His
ancestors came to South Carolina
from Virginia and my impression is
that his mother was Douglass.
The family WAS of English origin.
All the Burtons loved good horses
and dogs, and MIR. Burton was no
exception to the rule. He kept a
pack of fox hounds as we'll az a good
opossum and turkey dog. He WAS a
hard working man in his young man
hood, but having secured large
property he took life easy, and had Il
good time hunting and fishing, &c,
although he always retained lively
interest in everything that pertained
to the good of his community. He
was very wealthy, owning sc q
acres of land and hundrod
slaves. He was a We
man, and | do not believe a W,
man ever went to him for ussisth 60
and was turned away empty handed.
Or course many took advantage Of
his genel os;ty and the result WIS
that after tho war he had lot of
security money to pay. From 1865
to 1872 he had taken up security
notes amounting to $4,000, and
after his death his executors paid
out large amounts on account of 80
cnrity notes. Still, when his estate
was finally settled up he left IL nice
landed estate to his widow and chill
dren.
Mr. Burton was of medium height
but was worry strong man. He was
always full of fun and frolic, and
yon would always find him IT, lively
crowd telling and enjoying jokes, but
| never knew him to take drink of
whiskey az Il beverage. He WAS q
good business manager and his farms
were run very successfully. Being
over tie army age he did not join
the army until the old men were
called into service, then he ioned
the reserve, but was detailed and
kept ut home to collect the tax
and see that the soldiers wives
and mothers had something to live
upon. He was the right man in the
right place, and no soldiers wife
suffered for the nocessarips Of life if
MIR. Burton knew of her condition.
His charities we're bestowed for char
ity sake and were kept hid from
every one if possible. Even his own
family never knew of great many
| of his charities. have known him
to put hilself to great deal oil
trouble to holp people in fnancin
straits, who knew Nothing of his in
tentions to help them. After the
war there was a soldiers widow's
home forced On the market. Mr.
Burton told her he woulG buy Oh,
place for her and give her time tc
pay for it. Mr. Burton made tn,

SOLICITING BRIBES'
| Charge of Boodling Made Against a
h Milwaukee Alderman Culmi- r
mates in His Arrest.
Himmelstein Denies Everything and
Mayor Rose Says He Will
Stand by Him.

Special to The Journal.
Milwaukee, Wis, Aug. 15.-As a climax
to repeated charges Of soliciting brides,
Alderman George IIimmelstein was yes
terday arrested and gave bonds in the
sum of $1,000 to appear for a hearing to-
day.
The case was first brought to public no
tice by J. l.. Gaines. a coored saloon
keeper in the tenderloin district. The
chief of police reported adversely on the
renewal Of Gaines license, on account Of
the character of his place. The question Of
renewal then went to the council commit
tee on licenses. Alderman Himmelstein
is chairman Of that committee, and also
is saloonkeeper. Gaines charges that
Himmelstein demanded 800 Of him as the
price of renewing his license. His state
iment that he was told the money would be
divided among the members of the license
committee has stirred up some Of them,
who purpose to have the matter sifted
thoroly.
Alderman Himmelstein denies every
thing and Mayor Rose says he believes
him to be an honest man and that it will
take proof to convince him to the con-
trary.
The publication Of these charges gives
added significance to the reform move
ment started by Rev. Judson Ellsworth,
Rev. L. H. Kellar and some other prom
linent pastors who have representative con-
gregations. They have suggested Rev. H.
H. Jacobs as an ideal candidate for may
or at the head Of the reform movement.
Mr.. Jacobs is University Of Wiscon-
sin man who made success Of preach
ing at the Hanover Street Congregational
church and then took up the university
settlement work. and Is conducting that
with equal success.

barley or wheat, to corn, might induce
