themselves seriously delayed by the
inability Of the fircmen to keep their
engines properly stocked.

THE FIRST SHOT IN WAR.
Was Directed at the Steamer "Stur
of the West"
('The State.)

In recent issue of your paper, un-
der the headlines "Fired the First
Shot in War Between States," it Is
stated that on the shaft erected to
the memory Of VIM. Mauldin, de-
ceased, is Inscribed, "He fired first
shot at Fort Sumter that opened the
Civil War" Without detracting
from the gallantry of this gentleman,
but In order to preserve the correct
ness Of history (Which appears to be
very differently permit me again to
call attention to the fact that the
first shot at Fort Sumter was not
the first shot in the war
The first gun Of the war was fired
on January ., 1861, by the Citadel
cadets at the steamer "Star of the
West from Il battery on Morris Is
land, afterwards known as the Star
of the West Battery This occurred
three months before the first shot
was fired at Fort Sumter. The cor
rectness Of my former statement was
corroborated by the late Bishop Cap
erS, and there must be many others
In the State who remember this. In
Grams Atlas, published in 1896, is
the following record:
"1S6l-Star Of the West fired upon
of Charleston harbor, January g."
"1S61-Fort Sumter, S. c., bonn
barded by Beauregard April 12."
The first gun Of the war was de-
fensive, not offensive.

FUTURE SALES ADVISED.

Now that cotton can be sold at
l3Ac. In local markets, or IA cents
in New York market, for October de-
livery, should make the wise farmer
seal some sales at such prices. In so
doing, lie can plant big crop with
the knowledge of good profit from
the farm. You farmers know the
past season is the worst the cotton
growing States have experienced for
century, and Is not likely to be re-
peated. Do not follow the example
of farmer who some years ago was
offered II cents for his cotton. lie
has the same cotton to-day holding
for his set price
Spectators make the market and
do not base their profits on such
mems figures. but take profits to suit
their heavy loaded pockets. Do not
be an extremist, but use statistics and
