A Hero of the Confederacy

Captain James w. Powell of this city, was the Captain of a company in one of the best soldiers of the Con- federacy. While in reminiscent mood he said:
 Forty years ago on the 18th of De- cember. l witnessed the most superbly grand act of personal courage it was ever my pleasure to behold. It has since been my intention to give the dear people of Dixie the very best re- cital of it my ingenuity can devise. knowing they will gladly write the hero's name imperishably on her rolls of horror.
 "Our Army of Tennessee. confront ing the United States forces at Nash vile, was never before so destitute of proper food and clothing, and the bit- ing cold of the winter was never more fierce and unbearable. Yet there was ever present, in rank and file an ex- tolerance or spirit which seemed to say, we gre invincible, victory Is just ahead
 "The enemy claiming to have some advantage. unknown to me, forced us to retire on the 14th to our second line of defense, where they again charged us on the 18th with all their well ap- pointed forces. having in front of them all the negroes, carpet -baggers and scalIawags they could impress. A terrible storm of shot and shell from all along their line enabled their col umns to advance upon us, keeping an unceasing rain of musketry.
 At this suspicious moment General Pettus sent his aid, Captain John S.. Smith. with orders to the left of his brigade. His way was just behind our breastworks, his person exposed from head to foot to the countless missiles of death coming from rifle and can non.
 When just behind the 4Gth Fegi- ment. the ceptre of the brigade, ener- getically hurryIng himself in the ex"- cuttOn of his trust, he involuntarily drew the lappel of his coat over the side or his face. as though screening himself from raindrops. His mission completed his return to the starting point was by retracing his footsteps with like exposure to the death deal ins storm
 His courageous discharge of duty on that occasion, witnessed by many yet living, was an inspiration to his comrades in the breastworks to do or die for Dixie.
 Not Hobson at Santiago de Cuba or Pickett's Division at Gettysburg, were more laudibly patriotic.
 Captain Smith was long since laid to rest in the cold grave. Let every one who loves constitutional liberty who approves the long, hard struggle of agony made for it by the South cherish the memory of this gallant soldier. Let garlands of smilax and holly and mistletoe encircle him in their hearts"

Publish the Pension Rolls.

Hartford COurant.
 Why are not the pension rolls made public? It certainly seems as if there was no discredit in drawing compen- sation' for services rendered to ones country, and. If there are fraudulent pensions being drawn, who should be and who would be quicker to resent the fraud than the men who risked their lives to save the country? It is incomprehensible that there should be the opposition to such simple busi- ness proposition as greets the sugges- tion that the lists be made public They belong to the public and they should be reckoned a roll of honor

sRRUP IN THE wIREGRAss.

From the way the sugar cane indus try is developing in Geneva County it will only be a few years till she will be competing with the syrup districts of Louisiana. Not only this, but eX- perts have pronounced our syrupS to be of much nicer flavor than those made in Louisian l-Geneva Reaper.
 Such items are pleasant and encour- aging reading to all well-wishers of Alabama Geneva Is one of the tier of wiregrass counties which form what Is In several respects the very best DOT ton of our State. It is a region adapt ed not only to cotton growing but to all the fruits, grains and vegetables common to a temperate region, and the that section is something wonderful.
 We are ready to fully endorse what The Reaper says about the fine qual- ity of the syrup produced in that sec tion, for we have tested it and know whereof we speak when we pronounce 1t excellent. and certainly as good as any that we get elsewhere. If there is anything lacking at present it is a fault which can and will be corrected when the latest and most scientific methods are adopted in its production. And as there is no doubt of the fine quality of the syrup, SO there can be no reason to doubt that as good sugar can be made there as anywhere and at as reasonable prices. For sugar and syrup, as well as for fruits and vegetables we look on Southeast Alabama as the coming region, and the time of Its coming will not be long delayed. We hope to see Geneva and its neighbors fully repre- sented at the Canegrowers' Convention in January.
