Boys Are Watched.

When we see the boys on the streets
and in public places, we often wonder II
they know that business men are watch
ing them. In every bank, store and office
there will soon be q place for boy to I'LL.
Those who have the management OF the
affairs of business will select one OF the
boys. They will not select him for his
ability to swear, smoke cigarettes, or tap
q beer keg. And the society swelf' who
is daft about little social functions and IS
happy in the conceit that he is "just the
article" that young ladies find indispens-
able on all occasions, is given the CLASSY
stare quite as often as the beer guzzler
or cigarette smoker. Business men have
a few loose habits themselves; but they
are looking for boys who are as near
gentlemen in every sense of the word as
they can find, and they are able to give the
character of everybody in the city. They
are not looking for rowdies: When a
boy applies for one Of these places and Is
refused, they may not tell him the reason
why they do not want him, but the BOY
can depend upon it that he's been rated
according to his behavior. Boys cannot
afford to adopt the habits and conversa'
tion of the loafers and rowdies if they
ever want to be called to responsible po-
sitions,

New Lumber Company.

An Augusta company has been formed
with ample capital to utilize the swamp
timber along the Lower Three Runs, from
Martin to the old E. L. Patterson mill
site. It will build a logging railroad
through the centre of the swamp, 10 miles
in length, with several side tracks up the
tributary branches. Its mill will be an
up-to-date one.
The swamp is rich in poplar, ash, oaks
and special red gum which with little
staining resembles mahogany so that the
unwary are deceived.
The local labor supply will not be af-
fected, as its operatives will be brought
from other States.

A GLANCE AT THE LONG AGO.
RecolIeetions Of Comedy Days from the Pen OF a
Brave Confederate Soldier.
Editor Hampton Guardian !:

Editor Hampton Guardian:
Your notice of Memorial Day at
Rivers Bridges" recalls to my mind some
of the incidents of the fight over forty
years ago. I note, in my pocket roll OF
Co. &C." srd S. c. Cavalry, which 1 carried
a. the time and still have, opposite the
name of John B. Woods, "wounded, Feb
ruary 2, 'e5." He was shot in the leg in a
skirmish with the yankees, just below
Broxton's Bridges, and died that night OF
exhaustion from loss of blood. DR.. Kirk
land, our surgeon, said, "he believed he
could have say ed him if he only had some
whiskey." Woods was buried at Rivers
Bridges, where he died. He was good
soldier-one that could be depended upon
in any emergency.
During the fight the next day one Reg
iment was. stationed along the swamp
between Rivers and Broxton's Bridges.
Coo was ON the right of our extended line,
lust below the works which covered and
protected the causeway and bridges. We
were scattered along the swamp in little
SQUADS at intervals, with commissioned
or non.commissioned officer in command
of each squad. I think the works were
occupied with Georgians. The fight
went on all day, the yankees unable to
advance by the causeway; towards night
made their way through an old blind
road. across the swamp, and our troops
were forced to abandon their position to
prevent being taken in the rear by the
enemy. One of our squads, 'in trying to
reach balance of Company, rode right in
among the yankees. Cox and Jim Floyd
were captured. Corp'l. Ed. Robinson and
Spilliards escaped by bold dash. Rob-
inson received bullet through the folds
3 of his blanket rolled behind his saddle,
and into his haversack, where it wadded
up in pair of woolen gloves.
Floyd lived to get home after the war,
but Cox, poor fellow, dled IN yankee
prison. Robinson died some two or three
years ago, but Spilliards is still alive, near
Gray, S. c. -
We camped that night in about two
miles of the enemy. After caring for my
horse I crawled under our commissary
wagon to avoid a drizzly rain for the
night, and with my saddle for pillow

so soundly that I was surprised on awak'

A DEPLORABLE KILLING.
YOUNG HAMPTON zEIGl.ER SHOT AND
KILLED BY. MARION BLACK.
Both Young White Men and Had Been Good
Frisnds-Both Drinkins-No Motive
Shoyvn

SuV"u
Hampton Zeigler was shot last Satur-
day night by Marion Black, the bullet
taking effect in the stomach. The shoot
ing occurred about eight o'clock in the
alley between Hoover's drug store and
Burton Felder's store. Zeigler died
Monday morning about nine o'clock.
The shooting was done with an s. Nv.
SO calibre pistol, and the bullet struck in
the right side of the stomach, ranging
downward and across. The intestines
we're perforated in three places. The
bullet was not found before his death,
although it was probed for by the physi-
clans. After his death post mortem was
held and the bullet found near the left
thigh bone.
An inquest over the body was held
Monday by Magistrate W. R. Wright, and
the jury rendered a verdict to the effect
that Zeigler died from wounds inflicted
by pistol in the hands of Marion Black.
Several witnesses were examined, but no
cause for the shooting developed. Il
seems that the two men had been good.
friends and there was no enmity between
them.
Zeigler made statements to several
parties after the shooting, and his dying
declaration was also written down by the
physicians. He made the same statement
each time.
His story in effect is that he was going
up stairs to barber shop over the drug
store to be shaved, when he was called
by Black and asked If that was Zeigler.
Upon receiving an affirmative reply, the
pistol at once fired and Black ran, going
through a lot in rear Of the stores.
A short while later Black came back
and surrendered and when asked why he
had shot Zeigler said: "God knows"
He expressed sorrow for the deed and
said he had nothing against Zeigler. He
said nothing about it being an accident.
Both men were drinking at the time, and
bottle Of whiskey was taken from Zeig-
ler's pocket when he was carried to Dr..
Blacks drug storefor attention. Hewas
removed to his home In the Northeastern
part of town soon after the shooting,
where he lived with his aged mother, he
being her only support. The body was
buried at the new cemetery Tuesday
morning. {
Black and Zeigler are both white men,
each being not more than 81 years old.
.Zeigler was q carpenter, and Black had
formerly worked in the cotton mill here
but has lately been running small store
at Olar in this county. Zeigler was un-
married. Black was married, but had
been separated from his wife for some
time.
A calm and unprejudiced opinion OF
the unfortunate occurrence is that it was
caused solely by whiskey and pistol No.
motive has yet been shown for the deed.
Black was drunk and was handling his
pistol and wanted to shoot it, and was
reckless enough not to care much which
way he shot. Zeigler had a shot gun,
but it was not loaded. He was carrying
it home, it having been loaned to those .
who had been guarding small pox pa
tients.
Black is now in jail. He has employed ,
an attorney, but no motion for bail has :
yet been made. ~

STANDARD OIL FIGHT.

The fight of the state of Kansas against
the Standard Oil Co.'s spreading to some
extent to North and South Dakota.
This week the railway commissioners of
the latter states were listening to com.
plants at ST. Paul against the classifica-
ton on the railways. The independent
dealers say that the Standard Oil Co. get
rate of the fifth class for their tank cars
and that the railway also pays the Stand
ard Co. rent for the cars, while the in
dependent companies have to pay on a
fourth class rating. We doubt very much
if anything comes of the states fight
against the company. They find too
handy refuge of the interstate COM
merce law, but the power that makes the
interstate commerce law is the only one
that can deal effectully with 50 gigantic a
concern as the Standard Oil. 1t will
come in time that any corporation
that desires to do an interstate business
under interstate commerce laws will
therefore seek its authority from the
general government. And when that
time comes Uncle Sam will have his
hand on the throttle value Of all the big
corporations. Their very very existance
will depend entirely on good behavior.
