4 Famous Reaiment.

1t is doubtful if any other one regi-
ment furnished an equal number of
distinguished officers during the civil
war as did the Second United States
cavalry. Among the officers were AL
bert Sidney Johnston, colonel; Robert
f. Lee. lieutenant colonel; William j.
Hardee, brevet lieutenant colonel;
George II. Thomas, major Robert T..
Lee and A. S. Johnson became gen.
erals in the Confederate army, and
Hardee became lieutenant general.
Thomas became a distinguished gen.
eral in the Federal army. Among the
CAPTAINS were Earl Van Dorm, f. Kir-
by Smith and n. G.. Evans, all of whom
became generals in the Confederate
army. l. n. Palmer George Stoneman
and r. w. Johnson held the same po-
sitions in the Union army. Among the
subalt John r. Hood, Charles w.
Field. ChamblisS and Phifer became
southern generals, and r. Garrard and
others attained the same place in the
northern army. Captain Evans left
the United States service before Col
one Robert +. Lee did. and when they
parted at Fort Mason, Tex, Colonel
Lee said: I'm sorry to give you up,
Evans Don't know what may happen
before we meet again. Perhaps they'll
make you q general"

till the shades Of night gathered to
protect him from the eyes of the law.
GaStonia's vigilant officers were on his
trail, however, and il was only mat
ter of q short time until the driver and
team were taken in hand and search
instituted for the principal offender.
When brought before Mayor Arm
strong a short while later Shepherd,
the negro driver, was held under
bond of 500 which he gave, for his
appearance at the next term of court.
Hefner was held under bond of $500,
in default of which he was committed
to jail at Dallas to await trial at the
next term of court. Hefner's record
as a blind tiger is very unsavory. At
the last term of court he was fined $50
and required to give bond for his ap-
pearance at each term for two years
and show good behavior this being
change from a sentence of six months
on the road. In view of these facts II
will more than likely go hard with
him when his case is called at the next
session of superior court.

Too EXALTED TAsTES.-A we'll
known family in Catholic circles, liv-
ing in Spring Garden street and bless
ed with three very small daughters,
spent last winter in Rome, where the
small daughters were sent TO school.
The family, being quite Hospitality in
clined, entertained quite lavishly some
of the dignitaries of the Vatican.
Returning to Philadelphia, they re-
ceived a hearty welcome, and among
others some of their priest friends
called to bid them welcome home. The
mother, always proud of her three
small daughters sent for them to be
brought downstairs to see the father.
After awhile they came, the three lit
tie golden-haired girls; but they only
stood in the doorway of the spacious
room and refused to come any fur
ther.
The mother, very mortified at such
behavior, said to the eldest; Come
here dear; don't you remember good
Father, who used to come and see
us from the Cathedral?"
There they stood, the three little
blonde tots, and looking most disap-
provngly at good Father. The eldest
spoke: I'VE like Cardinals" is what
she said.-Philadelphi Ledger.

Farmers and the Cotton.
Correspondence Of the Yorkviie Enquirer.
Wilkinsville, June S.-Last night was
the fortieth anniversary Of the great
hail storm that passed down Broad
river valley from the vicinity OF
Rhymes mill to the Beauty Spot" The
hail beat the bark off timber and al
most every vestige of fruit in its track
was destroyed. Capt. John w. Mitch
ell had field of cotton that was liter
ally ruined-nothing left but the stubs
Of the stalk. Some of it came out and
made pretty fair cotton as well as we
now remember. But lots of the crop
was pl0wed up. both Of corn and cot
ton and planted over. Mr. John w.
Smith. who lived at Howell's ferry had
a field of wheat, which was ready to
cure. The wheat was not very good,
and he made some slight remark about
it the day before. But when he got
up next morning and found it beaten
into the ground, he said to his wife:
Jane. starvation is at the door"
Sam Strain was over on the. York
side last Saturday, and bought some
pigs from Mr.. H. F. Horton.
The people along Bullock's creek and
western York are great hog raisers.
They have been selling pigs to people
on this side as far off as Cowpens.
Some peddlers come over from that
section regularly. and haul back pigs to
supply their neighbors.
Mr.. Bob" Blackwood killed a snake
yesterday over seven feet long, ano he
says it would weigh over ten pounds.
Several bales Of cotton were sold
from this neighborhood last week for
Il cents. Much of the cotton has been
damaged by being exposed to the
weather, and it is not very saleable. In
fact the Spinners don't want it. Many
farmers are standing firm, asking Is
cents and will carry it over If they
don't get It, The fight has been a hard
one and the farmers have yielded only
"to overwhelming forces and re-
sources" While the farmers haven't
been successful in crushing the cotton
spectators altogether, they have made
their rOost warmer. We have never
seen farmers more determined to raise
their home supplies than they now are,
and the prospects were never better.
The corn has been planted and looks
well. Seasons have been favorable for
il, and much of the cotton land of last
year has been planted in corn. 1t gen.
orally looks well too.
A phone message was received to-
day that Mrs. Maggie Estes Black was
lying dangerously i'll at her home at
Glendale and her brother, jeff, and sis
ter, Miss Ola Estes have gone to see
her.
Mr.. w. r. Walker spent last week
on his Sunny Side farm looking after
his farming interests. He is and has
been for several years travelling in the
interest Of the publishing house of

We had good rains last week and
crops are looking fine.

my old friends know that l am still in

Farm work in this neghborhOod is
progressing very nicely. Though our
crops seem to be little late; / guess
they will come on all right.
We are a little dry just now, espe-
cially gardens and late sowing of
spring oats is needing rain.
We are not planting much corn on
the Williamson plan in this neighbor-
hood. One reason is, fertilizers are
not very convenient. Another reason
is. good deal of the corn Is planted on
bottom lands that are subject to over
fiow Consequently there would be
some risk in it,
colts in our neighbOrhood, our farmers
are manfestlng more interest in stock
raising than they have in former years.
This is an important and essential part
of farming.

ing about eight or ten acres, which be-
longs to Mr.. Will Thompson. 1t seems
to be worked on the Williamson plan.
Mr.. Wade Osborne who lives just
over the Chester and York line, raised
last year from ten acres Of land. work.

of corn. off one acre, he raised 80
bushels. He used on the acre fertii-
ZerS to the value of $40. Mr.. Osborne
is a man who does nothing by halves.
If he measures a piece of land, or
measures the corn, it can be relied up

WHAT THE KIDNEYS Do
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us
Stronu and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
Of impure matter daily, when un-
healthy some part of this impure mat
ter is left in the blood. This brings
on many diseases and symptOms-pain
in the back, headache nervousness,
hot, dry skin. rheumatism, gOut, gravel,
disorders of the eyesight and hearing,
dizziness, irregular heart, debility,
drowsiness, dropsy, deposits in the
urine, ETC. But if you keep the filters
right you will have no trouble with
your kidneys.
