commanding the mortar battery at
Fort Johnston, did fire the first shot"
Gen Roger A. Pryor was offered the
privilege, but declined it, and then
Capt. James fired the cannon himself
Hon. Edward Ruffin is supposed to
have fired it a later time, the first shot
from Morris Island iron batteries. And
so the controversy goes on, year after
year, without reaching a satisfactory
settlement Mr. w. 2. Calhoun
is still keeping up the claim of the
Burt House in Abbeville, 5. c.. as
against the Heard House" in Wash
ington, Ga, as the meeting place of the
last Confederate cabinet. One writer
refers to the Robertson House"
which is confusing. DR.. J. j, Robert
son was then cashier of the bank To-
Gated in the Heard House" where his
family also resided, which causes the
confusion in names. 1t is true that
Gen. B. w. Heard did not then own
the house, but purchased 1t later on as
his residence, and it is best known as
the Heard House." although some
people prefer to call it the Robertson
House" when speaking of the cabinet
meeting.
The Morning News is correct IN
stating that Dixie" is popular all
over the country, and a song book
without it would fail to meet the de-
mands of the times. S. Y. Gillian &
Co. of Milwaukee, Wis, have sent me
a copy of their Western Teacher Song
Book" (only 10 cents), and l find in it
Dixie" THE Swanee Ribber," and
my Old Kentucky Home" and I'm
Going Back to Dixie"-all Southern
songs and yet popular everywhere.
The Society of the Cincinnati
will hardly put on the shelf good old
America" with any other new tune.
1t is true that Dixie" needs better
and more appropriate words, but
America" can rock along with the
same old familiar tune. The Rev. DR..
S. F. Smith, the author of My Coun-
try IT'S of Thee" was my pastor while
l was in Waterville. Me, over fifty
years ago, preparing for Waterville
College, now Colby University. He
came to the Baptist Church there
young man of exceeding modesty, but
rare excellence. He was a man to love
and respect, and when he wrote the
simple song that has become famous
the world over he little dreamed that
it would carry his name down the
ages and make it one of the immortal
names that were not born to die. My
later professor, Rev. DR.. Roswell d.
Hitchcock, is the only character l ever
knew that was more lovely than
Rev. DR.. Smith.

Mr.. William b. Collins of the Nc
Duffie Progress, published at Thorn
son, Ga, has my sincere thanks for
late copy of this excellent paper, as 1
find in ii a very interesting sketch en-
titled Betsy Ross and Her Descend
ants" by Miss Garcia Willingham of
Thomson. The facts in regard to the
descendants" of Betsy Ross are quite
new to me and no doubt will be to
many readers of the Morning News.
This sketch refers to her as Betsy"
but her name was Elizabeth, which
common custom has shortened into
Betsy" Her family name was Girls
com, and although three times married
she left no children except by her
first husband, John Ross. who was an
upholsterer. Her second husband was
named Ashburn, and her third, Clay
pole. There were three girls by the
first marriage. and the eldest. Mary
Ross, married Capt. William Mappin,
who located in Georgia, and the fam
lily lived near the old Columbia Mines
on the old Bolton place, now called
the Hunt place. As Mrs. Mappin
died and was buried there it follows
that the grave of Betsy Ross eldest
daughter is in McDuffie county.
Capt Mappin's descendants, through a
daughter who married Bolton. are the
Willinghams of McDuffie county and
their relatives of that name.
Some of the facts about the Betsy
Ross flag, in Miss Willingham's sketch,
are also in the St Nicholas Magazine
for July, in an article on 1.-THE Origin
of Our Flag" by Parmalee McFadden.
The article is valuable as showing the
changes that have been made in the
flag. The circle of thirteen stars has
come to be three rows of eight stars
each and three rows of seven stars
each; and yet the st. Nicholas Maya
zine, by some oversight. has only two
rows of seven stars, making the total
50 instead of As. And this cut has
been sent out, uncorrected, to newspa-
pers all over the country-a very Sc
rious blunder. Betsy Ross changed
Washington's star of six points to
more desirable one of only five points.
1t is not generally known that Keys
inspiring song, The Star Spanglea
Banner" was not addressed to the
original flag of thirteen stripes and
stars but TO the altered flag of fifteen
stripes and stars, for two new states.
Then the flag was changed back to
thirteen stripes and one star for each
state-now 45 i'm number, as above ex-
planned. The Betsy Ross House." or
shop, in Philadelphia, has been pre-
served and thirteen of her descendants
have formed a Betsy Ross society to
keep alive her name and fame.

Farmers would have been much bet

Farmers would have been much bet
ter off If such a thing as q sweat pad
had never been invented. There is a
tendency to depend too much on the
pad and not enough on fitting the col
lar to the shoulders of the horse. Many
old pads should be burned. They are
hard, filled with gum and dirt and
occupy a space on the collar that is
only cumbersome. Better have a can.
vas collar that will fit a particular
horse than all the sweat pads that
could be offered.
How many Indian gifts" are there
on your place? A little boy asked his
father what an "Injun gift" was. His
father told him 1t was something that
was given away and taken back
again" Johnny then said: "Oh, like
the runty calves you give me If I'll
feed 'em and then you sell 'em when
they get big and pocket the money"
1t Is Johnny's calf and papa's steer.
Treating son in this manner will
make him tired of farm life, and he
will leave the farm quick, and he
ought to.
Hay stacks should never be used II
the hay can be put under shelter. Hay
sheds, which are simply roofs on poles,
cost but little, and will save much
valuable food in year. Glover hay
does not retain its quality when close
ly packed, being liable to heat, which
Is also an objection to baling 1t. The
best prices for hay are obtained only
when the hay Is bright and clean. and
when exposed to the weather 1t is
liable to injury unless stacks are made
by experts. The best hay is that which
has received careful attention in both
curing and storing.
Tarring is still favorite means Of
protecting seed corn from crows. Soak
seed in warm water SO hours, roll in
coal tar or tree ink and then In land
plaster. Crows and blackbirds will let
1t alone, and the plan is easier and bet
ter than lines or scarecrows. Sweet
corn Is perhaps the most popular of
garden vegetables and should be en-
joyed as long as possible. By protect
ing the first paintings with straw and
cutting the late crop and storing before
frost green corn may be had from the
middle Of July until fortnight after
the first killing frost. Crosby and
Evergreen are two standard early and
late kinds. Excelsior Is one of the
sweetest. All three are good general
purpose sorts.

The Egyptians used straw and by boil
ing straw in water and mixing clay
with 1t he found that it gave hard,
shapely bricks that did not crack or
deform in baking. Analysis proved
the effect due to tannin dissolved In
water. Further experiments showed
that from one-half to 1 per cent Of

resistance Of the brick. The process

Dehorning calves is described as
such a simple operation by the agri-
cultural department bulletin on this
subject that 1t is difficult to explain
why 1t is ever postponed until the
horns are fully grown and the neces-
sity arises, If hornless cattle are want
ed. for saving them OF. To dehorn
secure a pencil of caustic potash at a
drug store. When the calf Is three to
four days old, throw 1t to the ground,
locate the little knot which indicates
the young horn, wet 1t well, and rub
1t with the pencil, held In gloved
hand. This is all there is to the opera
ton. 1t constitutes but few min
utes' work and causes no pain to the
animal. II after a couple of weeks
any signs Of growth appear, a second
application will complete the job.

In recent treatment Of foot and
mouth disease in France some good re-
suits were had with outside use Of
sulphate Of iron. 1t was found that
the spread of the disease could be
more effectively checked by this treat
ment than by any other method. The
affected animals were sprayed with a
20 per cent solution Of sulphate of
iron. The mouth was washed with a
10 per cent solution of the same chem
cial, and In acute cases 8 per cent
solution was administered internally,
to the amount Of ~ pints per day for
adult animals and half that quantity
of a 2 per cent solution for calves.
Complete recovery was brought about,
and the disease was prevented from
spreading.-American Cultivator.

It Is found that red clover produces
more aftermath If the first crop has
not been cut too close, and especially
so, II very sunny weather occurs when
the crown of the root has recently
been exposed. 1t is contended that red
clover Is most permanent, and the ar
termath Is better when the crop Is cut
by the scythe than where the moving
machine Is employed. This result has
been ascribed to the cut surface made
by the scythe being somewhat oblique
and so running off the rain, whereas
the cut of the machine is perfectly
horizontal, allowing the rain to enter
and to rot the root, but 1t is probable
that the greater length of the stubble
generally left by the scythe is the true
cause.-Massachuse Ploughman.

Governor Dockery Of Missouri is
eulogistic over free trade. He ignores
the record, as democrats will do some
times, and attempts to make the people
believe that under free trade, only, will
they enjoy prosperity and happiness,
full and complete. The disaster that at
tended the country through the march
Of his party free-tradeward under the
reign of Grover has either not come to
his knowledge or is completely ignored.
Some men would starve, die and rot
under the operation of a pet measure
and continue to sound its praises with
their latest breath and after they had
attained the shores of eternity. Other
people are not constructed that way
therefore the reason that free trade was
buried and has not been able to bob ur
with much force since 1896.
