 He told her he was only the rem nant of a man, and that it would be wrong for him to link his life with hers. He loved her. loved her from the first day they had met. loved her so well that he had right to demand this of her now.
 It would blight her life. he told her to be the yife of such a crippled helpless being, one whose days were numbered and whose course was run.
 And the woman he loved replied as only woman who loves could reply.
 "John Hood, she wrote. If there was only enough of your body left to hold your noble soul would hold you to your promise. In place of the limb that you lost you have me as a crutch. For the arm that is shattered you have my two arms. If your eyes fail, whose eyes should see for you but mine." e.

 To a soldier 1t is bitter indeed to surrender his sword. but upon John B. Hood that day in the early summer of 1865 there devolved another duty that required by far higher degree of fortitude.

 His first service was in San Fran cisco, then the center about which was gathered the greatest band of fortune seekers the world perhaps ever has known. The region was mad with the fever of gold, and one of the best pic- lures of the golden city of that period is that given by the young lieutenant in some letters he penned at that time.
 In 1855 he was transferred to Fort Belknap, Tex. to serve under Gen. AL bert Sidney Johnston. It was in Texas that he had his baptism of fire.
 In 1857 there was an Indian out break, and Hood, with twenty men. was sent in pursuit of band of 100 braves, whose raids on the settlements in the southwestern part of the State had caused much alarm.

climax one Of the most remarkable incidents in American history.
 To the South Hood always has seemed a knightly character. As a boy and as man. in the camp and in the home. he was the same lofty spirit He had all the chivalry and sense of honor of the highest type of the Southerner.
 A Knight of other Days.
 To do worthily to the best of his ability everything that was a duty was his cardinal principle in life. He personifed the highest ideals of the Southern soldier. To bear on high the colors and charge at the head of his column as he did at Chickamauga appealed to him as one of the most glorious privileges of war
 From the day he was commissioned a lieutenant until the day he surrend- cred he carried on his sword the bit of silk he got from the woman he loved, just as the knights of a former day wore notices of their loves in that age of chivalry and romance.

The following exceptionally interest ,nr article relating to the pioneer work of South Carolina and the South In scientific research and advancement Tn Amarica. was prepared for The Charles ton News and Courier by pr. F. H. Meil' the able President of Clemson College:
 In my library there are some old namnhlets and books which deal with the early history of South Carolina, as well as the history of the other Soutn- ern States. One of these books IS the ~Prroceedings of the American Asso- ciatton for the Advancement Of SCI ence." the third meeting which was held. in Charleston, s. C., March IF, 1850 in the hall of the court of equity. Prof. Joseph Henry, who became Ia nous as the secretary of the Smithson- fan Institution, was the President or the association at that time, but not be- ing able to attend at Charleston Prot' R. Bache chief of the United States coast survey, was elected to preside. Prof. Lewis R. Gibbs was the Secre- tary. pr. P. c. Gaillard the ass1clate secretary, and Dr. St. Julien Ravenel the treasurer. The last three were South Carolinians, and well known sci- entists. On the important committees l note such names as Prof c. U Snep- ard, Dr. J. E. Holbrook Dr. James Moultrie, Dr. John Bachman. pr. K. w. Cibbes, all from South Carolina men who had national regulations In SCI ence and literature.
 On the rolls of the association are Sixty-two names from Charleston ana 146 altogether from the South.
 ' That meeting in Charleston In 1850 was a distinguished group of men whose names are intimately associated rvlth scientific discoveries of funda- mental principles. upon which are based much of the great scientific de- velopment of the present day. Some of the ablest men in the South were present and contributed literally to the discussions. and several of them read aearned papers. which are published in the proceedings before me.
 At this meeting such strong support was given Lieutenant M. F. Maury in his work on the ocean winds and cur rents that the general government was induced to extend financial and sub etantIal help to the scientific naval of- Acer, resulting in great advantage to the commerce of the world.

Last Saturday the Juneau Dispatch announced that water was selling for fifty cents barrel in Douglas, that all the city mains were frozen and tbe tank empty. We have no idea where the Dispatch got it's information, built Is and was positively untrue. There is a shortage of water in Douglas, but the city mains are not frozen, and the fire tank which holds more than 100000 gallons of water is full to the very top. There may be some who have paid fifty cents a barrel to have water hauled to their homes, but the water is free and as yet there is plenty of it.

Last Monday evening Tom Straud shot and killed Charles F. Damer, a bartender at the Montana saloon at Ju- neau. Straud gave himself up to Mar shal Mulcahy immediately after the shooting, and yesterday coroner's jury made careful investigation of the evidence, from which it appears that Damer was at his cabin when Straud came to the door and on being admitted fired two shots, one of which struck Damer in the head with the re- suits as above stated. In the verdict rendered the coroner's jury expressed the belief that Damer came to his death at the hands of Straud, and also named Kitty O'Brien as an accessory to the crime. A special grand jury will be drawn today, it is presumed to investi- gate the matter.
