"From WeS Point Before til,
War;" by GeA S W ferguson, Faz,
hugh Lees room mate, IN the Aprii
NetropRitas Magazine.
Soon afterward, Colonel Lee
was relieved from duty at the
Military Academy and toos
command Of a regiment OF cav
airy of which he was made col
onel. We were truly sorry when
he left, for his almost perfect
character could not fail to in,
press all who came in contact
with him. 1 saw him but once
after he left West Point. will
digress a little 10 tell of it.
was at home in Charleston on
furlough during the winter OF
1859, when l received from his
son, William Henry Fitzhugh
Lee, an invitation to be one OF
his groemsmen at his marriage
to Miss Carter, at Shirley, on
the James River. Most of the
wedding party went together by
steamer from Richmond two OF
three days before the ceremony
and we're all entertained in true
Virginia style at the plantation
mansion. The young men were
lodged in several entbuildings.
l had a rare opportunity of see.
ing the great soldierin bis home
life among relatives and friends.
One thing which noted partie-
ularly was his extreme modesty
II might almost say bashful-
ness. His older brother, Mr.
Garter Davis Lee, told a capital
story, sang a good song and was
the life of any party of which he
happened to be a member. Af-
ter dinner, when the cloth had
been removed and the old Ma
deira brought on, the ladies did
not retire, as the custom was,
but remained to hear Mr. Carter
Lees songs and stories. He
would invariably toast the
army and call upon Colonel Lee,
the senior officer present, to re.
spond, and everyone would re.
peat the call. The colonel would
raise his glass of Madeira, bow
to the company and take a sip
of the wine, but never a toast
would he give. l watched him
closely, and upon my word he
blushed like a girl, yet there
was no one present but rela.
tives, except a few young Of
fcers, who had been under him
at West Point.

Il TEMPEST In 4 TEAPOT" /"


Writer ifsn Lake City So Styles Dis.
pensary Middle.
LAKE CITY, March 14:-1t is
learned from the members Of the
county board and OF the county DEL
egatlon, who are accessible to the
reporter for the Times, tina: the stir
in the county dispensary matters is
likely 10 be nothing more than a
tempest in a teapot, and that the
board will come out all right.
From those seen, it seems that the
charges against the board were made
by Attorney Gilland, who was for.
merly the clerk, and who was dis
missed, the board claims, because of
y letter that they received from an
Atlanta whiskey house, written them,
it is claimed by Mr. Gillsnd, asking
what inducements could be offered
him to have purchases made from
that hou| This letter was sent to
the boar the whiskey house, so the
Times m IN is told, replying that
they could not make arrangements
of the sort by mail, but that they
must come in person to Atlanta.
When Mr. Gilland was discharged
he ~ens before the williamsburg
delegation in Columbis to prefer
charges against the board, based on
the same books that he 50 ably de-
Tended against the attacks Of Attor.
ney Stoll short while before. The
board had sent the letter of the At.
lsnta concern to Auditor West who
appeared ~ith,the delegation when
Mr. Gillsnd put in the charges, aud
he gave no explaaation of it, at that
| time, the members of the delegation
say.
The investigation was asked TO,
and Inspector Haat Was sent down
He hes not yet reported. The boa I'd
has asked that Mr West coEe him
self sad be is expected IN Kingstre'
today.
Ia the matter of the bonding com
psay, the nea5ers of the boart
claim that the manager of the bond
ing company, beinga relative of NJ
Gillsnd, withdrew the bonds out O
sympathy with him and his charges
and that new bonds have been pro
cured and fled and the board con
tinues to discharge their functions
| It's farther said on the part O
the board, that charges made agains
them in Columbia were irregularltie
and overstecklng, but they CLAIM
that when they inquired into tn
reason for so much whiskey beini
shipped to them the y we're told tina
it was ordered by their clerk. 9th
er irregularities are alleged to b.
irregularities in the bookkeeping
The board invites investigation, ant
declare that they have not inten
tionally done anything that the.
ought not to have done and if they
have they want to know it. They
4 feel that they are right in spirit
even if they are wrong in some par

ges made by their clerk after being

Plaintiff Unable to Get Service
on Last Witnesses, and Sur
Rebuttal Is Brief
EVIDENCE VERY voLuMlNous
Testimony in the Hearing Will Prob
ably Run Close to Halt Million
Words-WiIl Likely Be Ten Days
Before transcripts Will Be Ready
for Judge Mcpherson.

Rather Unexpectedly the Iowa Cen
trail injunction case before United
States Commissioner n. w. Gleason
came to conclusion shortly after 9
o'clock Thursday. as the plaintiff had
been unable to get service on it's last
witnesses, and the defense had only
two witnesses in sur rebuttal, DR..
Pauline NJ. Townsend, and Justice of
the Peace /. S. Willard. Dr. Townsend
testified to peaceful conditions about
the shop district at all hours, day and
night, when she had passed there. since
the strike, and Justice Willard testi-
fed that j. F. Van Rogan, when be-
fore him as witness in the case Of
John Coughlin, charged with assault
and battery, said the assault was the
outcome of trouble in cheap theater
over Van Rogan keeping on his cap, and
not because of the strike. Justice Mil
lard said Coughlin was discharged be-
cause the complaining witness could
not identify the accused man as the
one who had attacked him.
1t is doubtful If Judge Smith Me-
Pherson will be able to be~-sr the con-
sideration of the case for days The
evidence, which is in the hands of the
stenographers, A. B. Hoover, OF this
city, and Miss Vida Laughrey, of Os-
kaloosa, will take several days to
transcribe, after which Judge McPher-,
son may order the attorneys to make
abstracts for him. The evidence prob
ably runs from 100000 to 500, 900 words,
which would probably take the court
two weeks OF solid time to read and
reason over. If there were no short
cut. AS Judge MCPHERSON is extreme
ly busy now, which was one reason
for his appointing Commissioner Glea-i
son to examine the case, he will in all
ask attorneys on both sides
to get together such parts OF the EVIL
dence as they wish him to take into
account, to save him time in digesting
the matter.
