OF DR.. D. n. CROSSON

Address delivered by Dr.. D. M.
Crosson, Of Leesville, s.. c., at the
Reunion Of Company "G'', S. c. ",
at Prosperity, S. c., on; August the
24th, 1907. ...~ ....,
Ladies and Gentlemen, and to you
few old surviving Veterans Of Com
pam "G": andto the sons and daugh-
ters Of the Confederaey:
When T received the letter from
your worthy secretary asking me to
come here today and read to you the
Historic Sketch written by my. faith
er, just prior to his death, I was
thrilled with emotion and surprise,
and, after: a<$few moments reflection,
I found myself saying, 81 will CO."
While I have held positions Of trust
and honor, and have enjoyed the con-
fdence Of my people, I consider thus
the greatest honor of my life, and I
am pleased to be here today for many
reasons. Because it is pleasant to me
to be allowed, after years Of busy
professional life, to come back to old
Prosperity "my native hea;h,' and
to greet tie ~k.ene, Of my ea:idh2od
days, and to meet and minsrs with q.
people-my reor ]e--whom have al
ways honored and loved. It brings
back to me tic ii enories OF :''e l;s:t
all srene. AMI l."dents of ::,.:'. ear
recollection, both in play, in labor in
school and in church. Then too it is
a singular pride to me to be asked to
come back to yea and read to you this
Historic Sketch, prepared by father,
which he intended to do,. had he
not been take away so Unexpectedly.
I have read the history of your course
in that great and bloody war, and l
can say to you, that I know he but
wrote what memory at that time
taught him to be true. This he did
without any praise as to your deeds
of valor and worth, because, IN his
modest way, it was but his intention
to pen but plain, true historic sketch.
And time, the optent changer OF all
things, has left it so, that he sends 1t
to you, through me-his son and l
dearly appreciate the opportunity. l
deem this to be a great and singular
honor, as am, perhaps, the only son
Of one of your old comrades who has
ever been asked, to either read or
speak to you.
Many are the times, that in my ear
ly life I have sat and listened to him
as he would relate, Of your many dar-
ing deeds Of bravery during that cruel
war, and I can but say to you, that
never, so long as he lived, heard him
say aught but the kindest Of every
comrade in Company "G". He al
ways said to me, ''They are but hon
est, true and brave men,, wherever
! found, and it is the purpose Of my
life, that you honor and respect them
all your life.'' ''These men," he
said, "went in a great part to make
up the flower Of Lees grand army
I desire to relate one incident that
occurred, when I decided to move
down into Lexington county to begin
my ife's work in the practice Of med
icine. 7 relate this, because it brings
to memory one Of your number, who,
last year, passed over the river and
was called to his reward. He said to

LincoIn,s Mental Powers.

Lincoln was always strong with q
jury. He knew how to handle men,
and he had a direct way Of going to
the heart of things. He had, moreover,
unusual powers Of mental discipline.
1t was after his return from congress,
when he had long been acknowledged
one of the foremost lawyers of the
state, that he made up his mind he
lacked the power of close and sustain
ed reasoning and set himself like a
schoolboy to study works Of logic and
mathematics to remedy the defect. At
this time he committed to memory six
books of the propositions of Euclid,
and, as always, he was an eager reader
on many subjects, striving in this way
to make up for the lack of education
he had had when a boy. He was al
ways interested In mechanical princi-
pies and their workings and in May,
1910, patented device for lifting YES
sells over shoals, which had evidently
been dormant in his mind since the
days Of his early Mississippi river ex-
periences. The little model Of q boat,
whitfield out with his own hand, that
he sent to the patent office when he
filed his application is still shown to
visitors, though the invention itself
failed to bring about any change in
steamboat architecture.-He Nico-
lay In st. Nicholas.

Growth is predominantly a function
Of rest. Work is chiefly an energy ex-
pending and tearing down process
Rest following work Is chiefly q build,
Ing up and growing process. Work
may furnish the conditions under which
subsequent growth may occur, but in
itself it Is destructive. BY work we do
things in the world, but we do not
grow by work. We grow during rest.
Rest is not the only condition of
growth, but it is one of the essential
conditions. The best work that most
Of us do Is not begun in our offices or
Mt our desks, but when we are wan
iering in the woods or sitting quietly
with undirected thoughts. From some
where at such times there flash into
our minds those ideas that direct and
control our lives, visions of how to do
that which previously had seemed i'm
possible, new aspirations, hopes and
desires. Work is the process of realiza-
ton. The careful balance and the great
ideas come largely during quiet and
without being sought. The man who
never takes time to do nothing will
hardly do great things. He will hard
ly have epoch making ideas or stimu-
lating ideas.-World's Work.

a Lesson In Philanthropy,

A whole Souled resident of Harlem
the other evening received the jolt OF
his career as parent. While reading
his evening paper the doorbell rang,
and a parcel from a big department
store was announced. The cost was
80 cents, and he gave his little bright
eyes, a girl of six, a two dollar bill
with which to pay the boy.
Half an hour later the subject re-
Cured to him.
'Here, Mabel" he said. where's
that money l gave you for the boy"

Waste Not-Want Not.

Doctor must know what you have
eaten today in order to understand
your stomachic disorder.
Patient-Oh, doctor, only a little
pork. 1t was left over from last week
and was perhaps not quite fresh.
Doctor-Would it not have been
more sensible to let the pork spoil en-
tirely rather than to upset your stom-
ach?
Patient-But doctor, you can cure a
diseased stomach. but what can you do
with spoiled pork ?-Fliegende Batter.

An Earthquake In Persia.

Professor Vambury, the Hungarian
orientalist, was in Shiraz, Persia, at
the time of one of its devastating earth
quakes. The shock was terrible, throw
ing great houses about like shuttle
cocks and splitting the hills beyond the
town. When the very earth seemed in
process of disruption and men and wo-
men We're weeping and tearing them
selves in agonies Of fear two mad IA
matte priests stalked through the tot
tering city crying aloud that the for
eigners sojourning in the place had
brought on the calamity. And the peo-
pie took up the cry 1.-THE Frengis are
uncleanw and made a rush for the
house in which the professor had been
staying. Only the entire collapse of
the property adjoining beat off their at
tack and enabled him to make his es-
cape from the city.

Chaucer's Face In a Stone.

In psychological branch of the British
museum the visitor is shown a Won
derful specimen of natural imitation in
small ribbon jasper" This stone,
the material of which is not unlike that
Of other banded agates, has upon it's
surface a perfect miniature portrait of
the poet Chaucer. Every detail is
startlingly correct. There are the
white face, the pouting lips, the broad,
low forehead and even the whites of
the slightly upturned eyes. The at
tendants say that it is utterly impos-
sible to convince even some of the ed
ucated visitors that it is not an arti-
fetal production.

WANDERING WORKERS.
Many Skilled Mechanics Like to TraVUl
Over the Globe

Many Skilled Mechanics Like to TraVUl
Over the Globe.
In New York may be found skilled
mechanics who have been wandering
over the globe for half a lifetime.
There are few trades in which a skill
ed man with the mastery of several
tongues cannot earn a living in almost
any considerable city of the world.
Most of the mechanics who move
thus freely about the world are CONT
mental Europeans. Woodcarvers, stone
cutters, electrical workers of various
kinds and garment cutters are among
the mechanics that move about most
freely.
The great temptation to such a wan
derer is the trip around the world The
thing is not really difficult He can
cross this continent profitably in few
months, with a stop at Chicago and
perhaps another between Chicago and
San Francisco. A stop of a few weeks
or months at San Francisco will put
him in funds for the voyage to Aus
tralia.
There are four or five Australian
cities in which skilled man Is sure Of
profitable employment. After Austria
LA there are the great Anglo-Indian
cities.
The journey to Europe can be made
with a stop at Cairo if one chooses to
make a little detour, and then Paris
awaits one only a few hours beyond
the end of the Mediterranean. Here
are cheap living and good wages. In
a few months one is more than equip
ped for the voyage to New York.
One has only to keep sober and know
how to save money in order to make
such journey around the world with
entire success. 1t does not mean I'M
comfortable living. In fact, the jour-
neyman must be we'll dressed and
must present q good appearance to get
on. AT the height of the season hardly
any city has enough skilled garment
cutters, for example, and the wander
ers are always welcome when they

Not long ago we had a call from a

EACH STATE CLAIMS
HALF OF DEAD BODY
Brakeman Cut in Two by Train--Part
of Corpse Held by One Set of
Officials, Another Holding
Remainder

BY Associated Press
Ell PASO, Texas, Aug. 6.-One-half of a
mans body held by the authorities of one
state and the other half held by another
state and each state refusing to give UP
the half 1t holds, is a situation now exist
ing in Mexico. which serves to magnify
some of the incongruities of that country.
Miguel Martinez, a Mexican Central
brakeman, went to sleep under one of the
cars of his train while it, was on a siding
at Espiritus Santo Zacatecas. The train
started up and cut him squarely in two
at the belt. Half of the body rolled to
one side of the track and the other half
becoming tangled in the breakbeam was
carried to Salinas San Luis Potosi
The authorities in each state took pos
session of half the body and each refuses
to return the half 1t holds to the other.
No official investigation can proceed
without the whole corpse as the basis,
hence the authorities are at swords points
and the relatives of the dead man are
yet unable to recover the body.
