A Valuable Gift.

Greenville's greatest Christm As gift
was the donation by DR.. Chas. Hallet
Judson Of his home and grounds to
Furman university. This property,
which Is located on Mcdaniel street
In West End, is given as special in
centive to those who have subscribed
to the endowment fund to pay their
notes, and In order, too, that the
noble old Institution may have its
fund complete at the earliest possible
time. The papers conveying the prop.
erty have been made out to the exc
cutive committee OF the college, and
the transfer has been effected. The
Judscn residence Is fairly valued by a
prominent real estate man at 81, 500,
but In making over the property to
the university DR.. Judson, with char
acteristlc mo1esty and conservatism
places the value at $4,000. This most

The incident happened on James

from the various South Carolina com

there. Bishop Capers and three sol.
diers were coming over from the
headquarters Of the officers toward
the line where sentries had been
thrown out.
Just across the line Northern SOL

they had landed for some purpose not
for the good OF the men on tue island
who wore the grey. He was approach

to escape and told to surrender. There
was some parley at first as the man.

wish to be taken In this way without
having chance for q fight, but the
folly of such procedure was quickly
shown and he turned over his gun and
marched back to camp.
The gun was kept by Bishop Capers
for years and several efforts were
made to ind its owrer. Finally by
searching over the records 1t was
