Spanish War Claims.

According to letter received from
the treasury department at Washing
ton all Spanish war claims must be in
by January l, 1906, or there will be no
payments made. A recent decision of
the court OF claims awards this State
something like $4,000 for the pay of
those volunteers who were in service
for several days before being muster
ed in to the government service. The
government does not recognize indi-
viduals in this case, but the payment
is made direct to the governor, who
can act as disbursing agent. An act
passed by the last legislature giving
Governor Hayward authority to sign
these papers for the soldiers of this
State who were in service, was after
wards found to be defective and it is
not known now what this State will
do for it's share of the money Colum-

A Story OF Sandbar Ferry.

Not far below Augusta, Ga, the
Savannah river is crossed by an anti
quatcd fatboat, hanging by cable
from a post far up stream and i'm
PEELED from bank to bank by the ac-
ton Of the current. This is the
Sandbar ferry, and from time imme-
mortal, until the abolition Of ducling,
the banks Of the river on both sides
were bloody fields Of so.callcd hon
or.
Gentlemen Of South Carolina, hav-
ing Iuarrclled, crossed in the rickcty
fatboat with their seconds and fought
their battles on Georgia soil, and
Georgians went over to the Palmetto
State for their shootings or sword
play.
Thither, one day, went solemn
procession Of principals, seconds and
witnesses, most Of them representa-
tives Of the Georgia Bar. They were
more solemn than usual, for the fight
they were to witress was to wipe out
the most terrible Of insults. Two
we'll known lawyers of Rome, who had
been lifelong friends, had fallen out,
and one Of them, in height of dis
pute, had reviled the other with all
the terrible words he could lay tongue
to.
There had been score of men pres
ent to hear and to prevent an imme-
diate shooting, and now the two de-
voted friends, turned enemies, rode
with party toward the fatal ground
where they we're to make target prac
tice on each other. Each of them
was downcast and gloomy, for at heart
they were devoted. But the insult
was deadly, and there seemed no es-
cape with honor from the encounter.
When they arrived at the ferry,
however, the fatboat was on the
other side. a second picked up the
horn from the post and blew
it Justify. Over and over he
sounded it. until from distant field
the aged ferryman came sauntering
leisurely down to the craft. The two
lawyers sat side by side on their
horses and watched his slow progress.
The strain grew momentarily heavier
and the men gloomier. At last one
Of them-the insulted-could stand it
no longer.
"Jim," he said impulsively, "be-
fo' We 60 out of Georgia, I want you
to answer me one question. How did
you ever come to apply all those
epithets to mc?'
Charley" said Jim solemnly, 81
did it in my professional capacity"
The face of the man who had been
insulted lighted up with smile OF
great relief, and he held out his
hand.
II knew It'll I knew it!' he cried.
"Shake on it! Who ever heard of
holding lawyer responsible for what
he said in his professional capacity
1t would be madness, sub. madness!''
They shook hands fervently and the
duel was declared off.
