Of 1895 was recommended for passage, with
similar action on other bills.
Sears of Burt ana r,..s Of Hall, the
latter manager OF the sugar concerns pre-
senting this claim, spoke for the bill, II. r.
433. Ferrsr argued that the beet sugar
factories complied with the law to buy
sugar beets at 81 premium in good faith,
thinking they would get the bounty OF
V cent a pound for their manufactured
articles, and he declared It was repudi-
atiug an honest debt for the state to fail
to pay these claims.
sweezy of Adams briefly spoke against
the bill and Fries of Howard then made a
fofcible argument against II. II was his
maiden speech. Mr.. Fries said he was a
beet sugar grower and declared that he and
other such farmers had. in some instances,
failed to get the premiums which the fac
tories we're to pay on bsets. He read COM
munications from other beet growers max
ing similar Statements He was opposed
to allowing this claim, which he held to be
unjust. n
When Fries concluded Ferrar took the
floor and emphatically declared it a per
nicious and unwarranted" assertion to say
that beet growers did not get their pre-
miums. He dehed Fries to prove his
charge. He said those letters are tissues
Of falsehood."
Fries again spoke, reiterating some of
his statements insisting that the farmers
had lost money and did not want to help
pay claims to the factories, which he ar
gued had acted in bad faith"
Once more Ferrar resented these charges
and defed successful contradiction.
Thompson Of Merrick spoke effectively on
the, question, holding that as the validity
and Justice OF these beet sugar factory
claims have already been determined, the
claims became an obligation Of the state
and should be paid, unless the legality OF
the act of 1895 could be denied. He
thought 1t was beyond the province OF the
Legislature to pass on this question. He
himself thought the act was constitutional
and the only question remaining, therefore
was, will the state pay an honest debt!'
He wanted the claim paid.
Gilbert, Mangold and McAllister then
spoke for the bill, urging that it was a
just debt and should be paid and not re-
pudiated.
SweeEy closed the debate, speaking
| against the claim. He said there was no
evidence to prove that this claim was Just
and regularly incurred. He said the only
real evidence at hand was against the fair
ness Of the claim-that presented by Fries,
who was a beet grower, who said he did not
get all his premiums and presented sworn
statements of the same sort from other
beet growers.
The passage of the bill was recommended
by a vote Of 38 to "a. The committee arose
bt Sis and, on motion Of Bacon Of Dawson,
took a recess until 1880.
The night session began at 8 O'Clock.
After a fight the sitting committee sue
ceeded in advancing s. F. 100 to the head
Of the general hle. 1t was considered in
committee Of the whole and by 1t recon-
mended for passage, but on motion Of Jouv-
enot the report was not coneurred in and
the bill was returned for specific amend
ment. "
Kennedy's bill to make wife or child
abandonment a felony was recommended for
passage.
At 10 o'clock the house adjourned.

would have been successful. This
statement was confirmed by letter
from Gen. Lee, which is quoted bv
Longstreet.
This summary Of Lcngs.reet'a de-
fence of his conduct hardly does him
justice. but we do not recall that any
newspaper has ever stated his posi-
tion when the battle Of Gettysburg
was under consideration. His book,
From Manassas to Appomatox," is
a valuable contribution to Confederate
history, and yet it has been read only
to be harshly criticised for what he
says about Gettysburg, because he
makes the capital mistake of being
disrespectful when dealing with the
facts relating to Gen. Lee. His pro-
vocation for discussing these facts
were the assaults madc upon his own
record by Gen. W.N. Pendleton, chief
of artillery, and by Gen. Fitz Lee, a
nephew Of the Incompatible leader of
the Army OF Northern Virginia. The
bitterness with which he was attacked
does not justify much that is said
concerning his commander, and Gen.

blunder to his unfortunate political
alliance, the two grave mistakes Of his

WAR STORIES.
When Lee Needed the Boy General,
Micah j Jenlxins.

Yesterday was the anniversary Of
one of the greatest battles in the his
tory of the world-G Gettysburg. Around
this little village in Pennsylvania 40
years ago the forces 6f Robert T.. Lee
hurled themselves against the great
armies Of Meade, the federal command
er, and there resulted battle sangui.
nary 10 the extreme, the result Of
which was victory to neither side.
Yet it was loss to Southern arms,
for it forced Lee to give up his often
sive warfare into the country of the
enemy and caused him to fall back
upon his own country already impov.
erished by the ravages of mighty ar
mics.
South Carolinians did their part at
Gettysburg, although The glory was in
great measure given to others-and
gloriously did all the Southern troops
deport themselves in this great battle.
1t is on record in Gen. Lees own
handwriting that had certain brigade
of South Carolinians been there, the
fortunes Of the battle would have
been quite different. It is singular
that ctho great commander-in- chief
should think that the tide of the bat
tie could have been turned by just one
brigade-when 30 many thousands of
troops were engaged-but the follow
ing is copy OF the letter written by
Gen. Leo to 'th@ boy general"
