SLAUGHTER IN GREAT BATTLES

Considerable comment has been
occasioned by the enormity of the
slaughter in the battles between the
Japanese and Russians. Lao Yang
was the scene of a most narrowing
slaughter. and yet, the Newark. n.
J.. Advertiser says
I'll turns out that the battle of Liao
Yang, between the Russian and Jap
"nese forces, was not the bloodiest in
military history" In eight previous
great battles. three of them during
our civil war, the percentage of loss
was much greater. A list of these
principal battles is worthy of study:

A Fairy Grave.
Let little grave be made
Half in shadow, half in shade.
In quiet kindly place.
Friendly as her face.
Let the passing fairy bird
From his airy height be heard;
Ever, ever. for that ground
Only gentle sound.
Let the singing winds. which be
Winged dream and melody.
Singing softly. by her lie,
Softly singing. die.
Let the bee has sucked the bloom
Homeward journey by her tomb.
And his tithe of sweet be paid
To her sweeter shade.
Let the low clouds. red and gold.
Mourn her on the mountains old;
Beauty. aye her guardian be,
You and melody.
Spirits Of sound and souls of flowers.
All you dearest griefless powers.
You with whom she went away.
Send her night and day.

Death Of James a. HOyt.

On last Friday afternoon at three
o'clock James A. Hoyt, one of the old
est as well as one of the best known
and most honored editors in South
Carolina, died at his home in Green
vile, aged 81 years.
In 1866 Mr.. T. B. Crews was fore
man of the Laurensville Herald office.
Mr.. James A. Hoyt and this writer
were printers in the office at the time.
A friendship sprang up between these
three that has ever since bound this
writer to the others, and in Col. Hoyt's
death a heartfelt loss is realized.
Col. Hoyt was active along all the
lines of good citizenship, and his influ-
enee for good was gentle and far
reaching. In duty towards God and
man Col. Hoyt lived a blameless life,
and in dying he leaves behind him the
legacy of a clean record. From his
youth up to old age his private life was
correct.
In all that looked to the welfare of
the State or the people, Col. Hoyt al
ways took an active part, and in every
instance he threw the weight of his
influence to the side of right as he saw
it.
In his editorials Col. Hoyt has al
ways been outspoken and clear in his
%utterances, leaving no doubt as to
where he stood. AS editor and as citi-
zen his upright course and his sinceri-
ty of purpose made their impress upon
the press and the people of the State.
In lieu of any sketch of his life that
we might write, we copy from the
State an excellent review of the useful
and honorable career which has just
ended.

Sensitive.

Our good friend and neighbor the News and
Courier is sensitive on the subject of section
alism and the war. AS evidenced a hundred
times, and especially in discussing Roose.
velt's speech at Gettysburg.
Why not let Roosevelt have bis say" If
anybody will examine the proceedings Of the
Secession convention he will find therein the
causes of the war fully set out. 1t is useless
for us at this late day to try to hide the facts
that brought on the war. We are not asham-
ed, and need not apologize now.
No soldier on earth ever acquitted himself
better than did the Confederate soldier.
We do not object TO the word "Rebel." 1t is
a better word and more definite in it's mean
ing than "Confedcrate." Confederate may be
of doubtful meaning. but who can doubt the
meaning of Rebel. We rebel against wrong.
We may 60 into a confederacy to do wrong.

manga Park. 1t was dedicated TO American
valor, without reference to the side on which
the soldier fought. The resolution looking
to this act of magnanimity was introduced
into both houses of Congress at a time when a
single objection would have defeated the
proposition.
We think as q brave and soldiery people we
should not deny the causes OF the war. To do
so, looks too much as If we were ashamed of
the fact that We fought for our rights, without
apologies to anybody.

Good Feeling Between Charleston
and the UD n

In the meeting of the Democratic Stale
Convention Mayor Rhett of Charleston, was
elected delegate TO the National Democratic
Convention.
While the present good feeling is a matter
of congratulation, the Press and Banner is of
opinion that II is we'll TO recognize the fact,
without raking up old things, or recalling
memories of the past. All Of the u~p-country
would be proud to know that, Charleston in
feeling and in touch Of the elbow, feels
that she is a part of the State, and that the
old city recognizes the mountain folk as peo-
pie, or as men and brethren. Then why
should the News and Courier not see the
existing inclination ofall the people to get
together? Why hou reference be had to
old things? Why not let past differences,
or former grievances be forgotten forever?
If Charleston could let the fact filter into
her brain that there are good men in the up.
country, and that q mountaineer may be a
gentleman, even though he does not eat
boiled rice and raw fiddlers, this old world
would rock along much better.
If the ~up-country and Charleston should get
together, let US all be happy. Don't dig up
old skeletons or revise unpleasant memories.
In supreme moments or former days the
up-country and Charleston have stood to-
gether, shoulder to shoulder. Then why
should we stand apart today because of
triaes?

COUNTY MUTUAL
ASSOCIATION
OF AMERICA.
Ahbeville Division.
Abbeville, S. c.

Ell IS WITH PLEASURE WE
announce the fact that we have
effected arrangements by which we are
prepared to conduct the business of
the County Mutual Benefit Associa-
ton of American in Abbeville Coun-
ty, independent of the Parent Asso-
citation whose headquarters are at I'm
ion, S. e.
The purpose of the Association is to
secure to the family Of each member
of the same who may die, one dollar
COR every member belonging to the AS
ISOLATION at the time of his or her
death.
The idea in ertenSo is to take one
thousand persons, men and women,
bind them together in a business way
to help each other in time of need and
trouble. It is mor like a family af-
fair than anything else. You only
pay when mi dies. If you join nov
up until first of January, 1905, unless
we lose one of our members, when you
would be called on to pay one dollar
and ten cents to replace the amount
paid out on account of the death claim
and expenses.
1t is unquestionably the cheapest in
surance known of. You are receiving
insurance at actual cost.
Any white persons between the ages
of eighteen and ffty-five, male or fe-
male, may become a member of the
Association until the number of one
thousand be reached; after that no
one owe thirty can get in, and he only
10 replace q deceased member. II,
therefore, you are owe thirty years Of
age this is the only chance you will
have of Joining.
You owe it to your family, you owe
it to yourself to provide something for
their protection in case youEare taken
away from them.
Consider the matter, examine and
study our plan, act promptly and let
our agents write you up at once.
Remember that this is purely a home
institution the money to pay death
claims is in the bank at this place, be-
ing always collected in advance of a
death the claim paid Immediately on
notice of death of the member ; no
waiting sixty or ninety days, with
ever so much, "red tape' to be OBJ
served in order to collect a death claim
and that the officers Of The company
are your own people.
If there is any additional informa-
ton as to the plan desired, call on
either of the undersigned or any of
the company's agents and they will
take pleasure in explaining the same.
