Death OF a Gallant Confederate.

! Lewis s. Truitt died in Abbeville last
Tuesday very suddenly. He was stricken
with apoplexy and passed away within
about two hours. Mr.. Truitt was known
as one of the most gallant soldiers that
ever espoused the cause of the Confede-
racy. He was a member of the Nine
teenth South Carolina regiment and was
conspicuous for his bravery in the bat
ties around Atlanta. In one of these
battles he was the seventh man to take
up the flag, six having been killed or
wounded within short while before,
and he advanced the standard to the top
of the enemy's earthworks in the face of
q CALLING artillery fire. 1T was at one
time during the progress of this battle
that the Confederate lines we're badly
broken and Gen. Stephen ID. Lee, riding
up to Truitt, demanded the colors, but
Truitt refused to surrender them. Gen..
Lee said to him: "Do you know Who'll
amp The reply was eyes, i know you,
Gen. Lee, but it is my duty to carry the
flag, and / will carry it wherever you
order, but YOU cannot take it.' Gen.
Lee passed on 10 another regiment, and
upon demanding the colors, they were
delivered to him. Several years ago,
while Gen. Lee was visiting Abbeville,
Mr.. Truitt called on him and the Incl
dent just related being mentioned, Gen.
Lee asked him: "Were you the man who
gave mo the flag or the one who did
not?' The answer being in the mega
tive, Gen. Lee replied: "Would to God
there had been 10000 more there just
like you and different story would have
been told of those fearfulSbattles."

500 last week on the river. The work
was rough and hard, but good pay
secured an abundance of labor. All
sorts of wild tales are told about what is
to be seen along the river banks-dead
horses, cows, fish aud human corpses
are some of the. things that are reported
TO be seen in the wrecks. Some people
that had appropriated cloSh from the
river have been uneasy for fear of getting
into trouble and have been hauling it to
Jonesville and turning it over to the
mills, but no doubt there is much more
still hidden away in the country. A
search warrant would pick up many a
bolt of the factory clothi and perhaps
many other things.

1t is 3 fact, as any old soldier will
tell you, that you never hear the bull

Booker Wanted in Africa.

s Booker T. Washington, president of
Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, called
upon President Roosevelt recently to
consult with him concerning his accept
ance of an offer he received recently
from Lord Gray OF the British South
African Company. The company de-
sires Washington to visit that country
and make study of racial conditions in
British territory and report to the COM
pany and to the British government his
plans for the betterment of the indus
trial, educational and moral conditions
of the people. Washington would be
absent on the mission about six months.
1t is scarcely likely that he will accept
the offer, as influential friends have
ntEed that it would keep him away from
his work in this country too long.

isfactory manner the question of caring
for the needy and destitute at the
stricken mill towns of the Cliftons and
Pacolet, the central relief committee of
this city lis now directing its attention to
giving material assistance to a number
of farmers who met disastrous strokes
of illlfortune by the food of June 9th.
In q few number of instances these peo-
pie have been given a lift in the shape of
sum of money to put them on their

The exodus from the mill towns CON

who can or will work will have employ
ment in the factories Of this and adjacent
States.
Several wild rumors have been set
ahoat about small pox at Pacolet and at
the Clifton mills. There is no foundation
for such statements and they are the at
tendents on such calamities as recently
befell the county, aptly illustrating the
old adage that "misfortunes never come
single handed.n Mill officials need have
no hesitancy on this score of employing
operatives from Pacole. or from Clifton.

of the bullet is the atmosphere
vibration which is created and the
resistance which the air offers to the
progress of the bullet. This cannot
be detected by the ear until the bull
let has crossed a parallel line with
the ear. 1t may eail over your
head or whiz close to the ground,
but if it passes you at all the ear will
catch the sound of it's flight. To the
soldier of many battles the voice of
the bullet is music. He knows that
he need have no dread of the bullet
that sings in his ears. Itis the bullet
that he does not hear that must be
feared, and it is this bullet which
always brings harm to him. No
soldier ever heard the bullet which
inflicted wound on him." New

The Berlin Tageblatt, of Jane II, in
mail adyices from Lodz, Russian Poland,
gives an account of the disturbances
there on Monday last About 5000
young workingmen, Jews, paraded the
streets in an orderly manner, but as o
socialist demonstration. The police, in
view of the number of those engaged,
called on the Cossacks for assistance,
and then thepolice and Cossacks charged
the workingmen, beating them with the
flat of Sheir swords and with their fists
and mercilessly continuing the beating
after a number of the men had been ar
rested and were helpless, and further,
beating them when the prisoners were
taken into the police station, where, ac-
cording to the mail adyioes, blood iran
in rivulets." 1t is reported that ten en-
thusiastic young men were beaten to
death and thatyof the 100 who were ar
rested all were seriously wounded. Sur
geons worked for five hours sewing up
wounds after the fury of the police had
been spent.

Cotton MlIIs Closing Down.

Augusta, Ca, June 27.-The Enter
prise cotton factory has closed down a
week for repairs and it is announced
that after that for the next two weeks
the mill will be run for four days each.
Then, it is rumored, the mill will close
down.
The Sutherland Mills, that for most of
the time have been in operation both
night and day, have closed down. 1t is
be forced to do likewise for the lack of
cotton and the inability to buy it for
manufacture into goods at present prices.
When the mills close down, however, the
hands will be kept together for the fall
and paid half wages all the time they
are idle. In this way there will be no
want among them.

Of these, the known and the un.

O'Hara, Mexican war soldier from
the South, a soldierof the Confede-
raoy, words which, cast on metal tab-
let's, are read by thousands of visitors
in the Federal cemeteries of our
country.
The muffied drums SAD roll has beat
The soldiers last tattoo;
No more on Life's parade shall meet
That brave and fallen few.
On Fame's eternal camping ground
Their silent tents are spfead,
And glory guards, with solemn sound,
The biyouac Of the dead.
No rumor of the foe g advance
Now swells upon the wind
No troubled thought at midnight haunts
Z
Novision of the warriors strife
The warriors dream alarms;
No braying horn nor screaming fife
AT dawn shall cali to arms.
Their shivered swords are red with rust; |;
Their plumed heads are bowed;
Their naughty banner, trailed In dust,
lis now their martial shroud.
And plenteous funeral tears have washed
The red stains from each brow,
And the proud forms, by battle gashed,
Are free from anguish now.
The neighing troops, the flashing blade,
The bugle's stirring blast,
The charge, the dreadful cannonade,
The din and shout are past;
Nor wars wild note, nor glory's peal,
Shall thrill, with fierce delight,
Those breasts that never moro may feel
The rapture of the fight
Thus meath their parent turf they rest,
Far from tho CORY field,
Borne to a Spartan mothers breast
On many o bloody shield;
The sunshine of their native sky
Smiles sadly on them here,
And kindred eyes and hearts watch by
The heroes sepulchre.
Rest on, embalmed and sainted deadl
Dear as the blood We gave;
No impious footsteps here shall tread
The herbage of your graves;
Nor shall your story be forgot
While Fame her record keeps,
Or Honor points the hallowed spot
Where Valor proudly sleeps.
The marble minstrels' yoiceless tone
In deathless song shall tell,
When many a vanished age hath flown,
TheNstory how ye fell; [blight,
Nor wreck, nor change, nor winters
Nor Times remorseless doom,
Shall dim one ray of glory's light
That gilds your deathless tomb.

The South Carolina Colleges
for Teachers.

Although nearly approaching It's cessJ
tennial anniversary, the South Carolina
College shows none Of the decEepitude
of old age, but rather increasing signs
of vigorous life. A new departure Of
great Importance to the College and TO
the State has just been inauBurated.
For some years the College has had q
department of pedagogy, for the train
Ing OF teachers; but last winter, for the
first time. the Legislature created q
number of endowed normal scholar.
ships one for each county. 1t is the
intention of the Trustees and Faculty,
to set these scholarships upon high
plane, and to seek thereby to qualify,
superior young men for positions OF
leadership and influence In our public
schools. However largely women may
be employed as teachers the work of
superintendence, direction and control
must continue to be most largely In Abe
hands or the men; and It Is to supply
these teachers OF leadership and in,
fiuence, In the community as well as In
the schools, that the College will chiefly
aim, through these scholarships. Hence,
no young man under nineteen years OF
age will be eligible, and preference VIA
be given to those applicants who have
ALREADY taught with success for at
least one year.
special and technical course OF
study has been established, on high
yet practical plane; and II ts intended
that thfs department shall be worthiiy
entitled to be called q college for
Teachers" All the work viii be dis
tinctively normal, and apart from the
regular College classes. The Trustees
and Faculty feel sure that In preparing
body of strong and we'll equipped
men teachers the College viii aid in
supplying one of the most important
needs of the state. They hope, also,
that this work, in It's success and it's
results, may meet with such public APP
proval as to lead hereafter to it's still
further enlargement
Circulars have been issued giving the
study.
The present session, now nearly
ended, has been very encourasinx. Not
a ripple has disturbed the internal
peace of the College. The now Preai-
dent has won golden opinions, and has
more than maintained the confidence
and affection gained I'm his long service
as professor. The friends Of the Col.
lese look hopefully forward to the con-
tinued success and increased usefulness
OF this venerated institution, which win
soon enter upon its second ceatury OF
honorable history. E8~F#

PLAN TO RAISE MORE CORN TO AN ACRE
Iowa Mans Discovery the Yield With But Little work
On One Farm Seveny-two Bushels Are Now Grown to the
Acre. Trophy Corn Growers.

carried out last year. Several thou
sand acres were planted with SEED
sorted by hand through planters ad-
tusted to drop the proper nnmber OF
kernels. Previously the best yield was
fifty-eight bushels per acre. Last year
the average was seventy-two bushels.
OF the gain Professor Holden est1-
mates so per cent was due to the stand
and 20 per cent to the excellent germi-
mating power of the seed In the ex-
detrimental fields under Professor
Holden's control the Yield has never
been less than sixty bushels since 1896.
That isn't practical" objected a
farmer in one OF Professor Holders
meetings. 1.-THE idea Of my sorting
grains of corn by handl I have some
thing better to do"
"Au right" answered Professor
Holden. 1--WE will say that you hire the
work done by a man to whom You pay
So per day. He will sort at least a
bushel of shelled corn every day. That
bushel will plant seven acres Of
ground. The fact that it has been sort
ed will add at least ten bushels to the
acre yield. At an average price of 80
cents a bushel that would mean re-
turn of S21 for the So you invested in
having the corn sorted. But you can
do it as we'll on winter evenings, when
1t will have cost you nothing"
The imperfect stands Of corn Pro
lessor Holden says, are due to the ir-
regular shapes Of the kernels and the
lack of adjustment of the drop plates
in the planter Kernels takeISSat ran
dom from full ears of corn and sown
through ordinary plates win fall very
unevenly. The plate should be fled so
as to drop each Size of kernel almost
uniformly and the kernels sorted &C
cording to size.
When the kernels were sorted for
size and arranged IN two lots and
plates adjusted for each lot, one test
resulted in one kernel being dropped
twice, two kernels two times, three
kernels ninety-fve times and four ker-
nels one time. The other lot dropped
two kernels four times, three kernels
ninety-two times and four kernels four
unexpectedly a perfect stand.
So Professor Holden says that the
season of corn planting should be pre-
pared for in advance by sorting the
kernels into lots and throwing out
those which will not terminate we'll,
and then filing a plate to drop each of
the kernels of each lot the proper num1
Der of times. The plates and lots
should be labeled, and for each lot of
seed the plates should be changed in
planting.
