CONFEDERATE RECORDS.
The United states Governme
Wants to Preserve Tho m.

The Columbia Record says it was
not generally known that in the ap-
preparation act Of the recent congress
provision was made for the compila-
tion of a complete roster Of the officers
and enlisted men Of the Union and
Confederate armies. Secretary Of War
Root has sent a letter to the COVER
norS Of all states asking their co-opera-
tion In this work, which will be most
important and a stupenduous one. In
his letter he says there will be little
or no difficulty in preparing roster Of
the Union soldiers, for the states
furnishing them have already under
taken that duty and now have as
complete records as possible. He says,
truly, that there will be difficulty in
obtaining Confederate records in his
department, and we wish that was
the only difficulty to be encountered
In this great work, for the loan of the
necessary documents might easily be
obtained il they were in existence.
We fear few Of the Southern states
have ever looked after this matter at
all carefully or Systematically, and we
know that our own state has no re-
cords that are at all complete. Time
and again the legislature has been
asked to appropriate comparatively
small sum in order that Confederate
records might be preserved, and
though at times small sums have been
voted for the purpose, the amount has
never been large enough to insure a
complete and correct list of the names
OF all the soldiers OF this state who en-
listed in the war. 1t is hardly neccs-
sary to show that it is proper to pre-
serve the names OF all who fought or
died in the cause Of our state, not
only because such compilation would
be of great historical value, but be-
cause it is our sacred duty to do so.
The legislature in looking after the
matters of present or pressing need
bas neglected to appreciate the impor-
tance of this work, and the conse-
quence is that we have not these re-
cords for ourselves, and unless Con-
federate camps now take the matter
in charge and see to it that our re-
cords are complete, the government
compilation SO far as we are concerned
Will be very inaccurate. II the South
Carolina soldier is to receive the full
credit due him something must be
done to put our records in proper
shape, for the government records In
the future will be taken as official and

Employment for Girls.

One Of the most important OF the
new institutions started in Charles
ton and in the entire state, is the new
plant which the American Cigar
Company opened about eight weeks
ago in Charleston. The company is
employing young women and teach
ing them the art Of making cigars.
They have at present only about two
hundred and fifty. But can give en-
ploymcnt to five thousand. The work
is clean, healthy and easy to learn,
and the amount Of money that the
girls can make is far greater than in
any other trade or employmens. In
six weeks time the young ladies make
from ST. to S6 and in three months
from 81 to $40 per week A very
strong effort is being made by the
management to secure only the high
est class of young ladies who are fore
ed to earn their own living. The
Commercial Club OF Charleston and a
number Of the leading ministers are
assisting the company by sending
them all the worthy young ladies who
are in need Of employment, aud they
have given the concern their hearty
approval. In order to break the
monotony OF work piano is played
in the building every aiLernoDn and
the girls are allowed to sing while at
work. AN elderly lady acts as ma
tron and one Of the leading physicians
of Charleston is employed to treat the
girls free Of charge TO them. OF
course no negroes are employed and
everything possible is done to make
the work both profitable and pleasant
Good board is secured orgirls from
the country at very low rates.

Let the Sunshine In.

The room should be sunny In all all
ments except very few affections of
the eye, for sunshine is the best germ
destroyer we have, and will make a
room more wholesome and sweet Than
any disinfcctant, says the Scotsman.
Nowadays it is not considered neces-
sary to darkcn every sick room as it
used to be. | L Is more fashionable and
much more healthy to let in sunshine
all over the house than it is to close
the blinds SO that the furniture may
not fade. 1t is cheaper and much
plcasantcr to have faded carpet than
it Is to have a case Of sickness, and

The dark, stuffy room, whispering
voices and tiptoe tread have passed

The Human Body.

A French chemist, Of particularly
inquiring turn, says the Medical
Journal, has determined by expert
ment that the body Of an average
man, Of about 80 kilos, has all the
chemical elements represented in the
yolk and white Of twelve hundred or
dinary sized eggs of the common hen.
Properly reduced, such body would
furnish SO cubic metres Of gas and
sufficient hydrogen to fill a balloon
with an ajcensional force OF 10 kilos.
Normally, the human body contains
iron sufficient to make seven large
nails, fat for thirteen candles, car
bon for siXty-fve gross Of pencils,
phosphorus to tip eight hundred and
and twenty thousand matches, to-
gcther with the constituents of salt,
fifty-nine Jumps Of sugar and forty
two litrcs Of water. Would it not be

lation to these ends. Let us diver

GOES UP FOR LIFE.
W. Q King Convicted of Numbering
James and Samuel Rodgers.

William G. King, the white man
who murdered James and Samuel
Rodgers In Florence County on jan
uary 81, was found guilty with re-
conmendation to mercy Friday by
the Jury In the court OF general ses-
sions at Florence. His attorney,
Walter Wells, ESQ, made motion
| for u new trial, but wien court re-.
convened Friday afternoon he an
! nounced his auandUnment OF Tile mo
ton, but gave no ice Of an appeal To
the supreme court. judge Gage then
sentenced King to the penitentiary ut
hald labor for his natural life.
| a dispatch from Florence to Tile
State says verdict has given unusual
satisfaction, and groups OF men can
be seen on tho streets discussing the
case. Then general cunccnSus OF
opinion is that it marks tic hegin-
ming of Il new era in South Carolina,
especially this part OF tile State. 1t
Is aS>Lrted that this is the firSt con
viction Of Il white man for the killing
OF another in this judicial circuit
since Lockhart was convicted OF man
slughter in Williamsburg county years
ago under the late Judge ]. d.
Withcrspuon.
All the evidence in the King case
goes to prove that 1t was an llnpro-
vokcd. uncalled for murder OF two
obscure men, and all about dog
which King admitted that he had
never seen. 1t is learned that the
jury on the first ballot stood eight for
for murder with recommendation to
mercy, three for murder outright. and
one for manslnughter. On the sec.
ond ballot eleven were FOR conviction
with recommendation to mercy and
one for manslanghter. The next
ballot was in conformity with the
verdict rendered.
When King was asked If he had
anything to say why sentence should
not be passed upon him, he shook his
head and said, IL have nothing to
say"
Judge Gage did not undertake to
give him a lecture, neither did he re-
fer to the hcincus crime OF which he
stood convicted, but simply passed
the formal legal sentence OF life i'm
prisonmcnt in the pcnitentiary.
William King is. a man who per-
haps has seen 53 summers; about six
feet tall, weighing about l6O pounds.
He has brutal face. large protrud-
ing jaw bone, cold steel grey eyes
which move restlessly from side to side
without turning his head. His head
is very small and exec edingly narrow
across the base of the skull. 1t is
stated that the two Rogers men are
not the only victims OF his nimble
pistol.
!, Upon what grounds his attorney
will base his appeal to the supreme
court Is not known. for it is an ad-
,mttted fact that the judge charged
the:jury.onzeyery point on which iiiie
was requested and neither directly or
Indirectly referred to a single fact
connected with the case, nor did he
touch upon the evidence in the case.

A Terribie Tragedy.

A horrible tragedy occurred at Riley
station, KY, on the louisville and
Nashville railroad Thursday when
Deputy Sheriff J. B. Williams with
posse Of three men, went to arrest an
unknown crazy man. The maniac
was armed with three pistols and was
frightening people in that vicinity.
He imagined mob was after him to
hang him. When Deputy Sheriff
Williams and his posse approached
the enraged man and attempted to
overpower him he drew his pistol and
commenced to fire. The deputy sheriff
was shot through the body, sustaining
a serious wound: Gabriel Floyd, in
the back, Samuel Payne, through the
arm and Samuel Devers received a
scalp wound. After Williams had
fallen he raised and fired bullet
through his antagonists head killing
him instantly. Nothing was found
on the dead mans person to Identify
him, but he had S42 iE money and a
gold watch. Early in the day he had
said that his mother lived In Nelson
county. The recovery Of Williams
and FlOyd is doubtful.

Rural Free Routes.
Woods Inst Week.

There are now 230 rural free dcliv-
cry routes in operation in South Car
olina and more In process OF being
established. These carriers are paid
by checks issued by Postmaster Ensor
against funds on deposit in the Caro-
lima National bank, the national de
pository in Columbia. Some idea OF
the magnitude to which this service
has grown in this state can be OBJ
tanned from the statement that the
monthly pay roll of these carriers
amounts to over 81 900.

Nothing But Rot.

The Columbia Record says n good
deal Of nonsenslcal rot is being talked
and published as to what was. said
between Chicco and the governor In
their interview, and some of the
bright sayings ascribed to the blind
tiger dealer, he is mentally incapable
of concciving, much less saying. The
interview, in SO far as Chicco was con-
ccrned, was in one sense nm outrage
Gus insult to the majesty Of the law,
and had he not come under flag OF
truce, as it were the governor would
have been justified In at once placing
him in Jail. This making Chicco the
hero Of conversational controversy, sc
to speak, Is disgusting, when the cir
cumstances are considered.
