New Brunswick, July 3:-George
Ely, of Deans Station, reported to-
day that two horses had been stolen
from his barn yesterday, and Prose-
cutor Booraem is Investigating the
theft. Ely went to New York a week
ago and hired two men to work on
the farm for him. The team and
the men were missing this morning.
The animals were about 16 ga
hands high, n a black and the
other a bay mare.

no positive means of knowing that the
men stationed there would be of the

beast Jerked free from my grip, ana
the next instant had sunk Its dripping
fangs, deep and hard, into the flesh
OF my shoulder. AS the intense pain
shot through me, my right hand,
driven with all the force could mus
ter, caught the monster once, twice,
full in the throat, but tighter and
tighter those clinched Jaws locked,
until 1t seemed as if every bone be-
tween them must be ground to pow

jaw. seeking vainly to wrench it
loose, heard the girl scream in sud-

"Quick!" gasped desperately.

and use it-but for Gods sake keep

She must have heard, but there was
no response, although her crying
ceased. Yet my own struggle to rid
myself of that crushing weight and
those iron jaws drowned all other
sounds, drove all other thoughts from
me. Every muscle of my body began
to weaken from the strain, my eyes
blurred, faintness swept over me,
felt my brain Keeling, when there
burst vivid flash of flame within
a foot of my face, smuggling my fore
head; then followed a deafening re-
port, and the huge brute sprang back

clicking together like cogs of steel.
Then he stiffened and fell prone
across me, a dead, inert weight, pin
ming me breathless to the floor.
For the moment could do no more
than lie there helpless, gasping for
breath. scarce conscious even of my
deliverance. Then, as sufficient
strength returned for action, l rolled
the body Of the dead brute off me,
and lifting myself by aid of the wall
against which my head rested, looked
about. Two broken chairs overturned
upon the floor, and the shapeless,
huddled body of my late assailant,
alone spoke of the violence Of that
deadly struggle; but the cabin was
yet full of smoke, and l could per-
ceive the figure of the girl leaning
against the frame of the open door.

Her posture was that of frightened
deer, as her terror-filled eyes sought
the dark interior.

lifeless mass on the floor as the small

such as had never known before.

Col. U. R. Brooks Tribute to
Capt. Gus White.

Editor The Advertiser: On Thurs
day the 9th day of June 1861, Capt.
NJ. G. Butler rode at the head of as
fine cavalry company, the Edge
field Hussars, as ever fought in any
war, from Edgefeld G. H. to help
form the Hampton Legion at Co

body Of men like the Hampton Le-
gjon which produced six Confeder-
ate Generals as follows: Hampton,
Stephen D. Lee, M. G. Butler, NJ.
w. Gary, James Connor and T. M.
Logan.
The Edgefeld Hussars were later
known as company l End S. G. cav
airy. After the gallant Butler was
promoted Capt. T. H. Clark, the last
commander of this old company
which had fought in Virginia, Ma
ryland, Pennsylvania North and
South Carolina.
Gus White, my old comrade, was
a private in this glorious old COM
pany. He was only private, pri-
Yates by their daring deeds made

was one of the bravest men in But
ler's cavalry. I have just heard of
this brave mans death with sorrow.
On the 9th day of July, 1864, in a
hard fight on Johns Island, S. c.,
Gus White acted we'll rs he always
did. Below is what his command
ing general said of him in his re
port.
General Robertson specially
commended aside from the gallant
Georgians who led the charge on
the 9th, the Washington, Marion and
Inglis batteries, under Colonel KEN
per, Major John Jenkins, Sergeant
Jervais and private Miller and Bryan
of the Stono Scouts; Private J. A.
White (Gus) of the second cavalry
and portion of the second cavalry
under Capt. Clark who defended
the right of the line on the first day
and lost 13 out of 81 engaged. Capt.
Dean of the same regiment with Is
men also participated in this heroic
fight"
John Goode, my old school mate
and friend, was severely wounded in
this fight and like many others went
to his reward several years ago.

brave men like Capt. Nose Hol-

White are taken from it. Peace to
their ashes.

Interesting Letter From the Uni
versity of South Carolina.

The University has this year the
largest number of students in its
history, 424 being enrolled. Students
from every county Of the state and,
/ dare say, almost every section of
the counties are here representing
their respective counties. Edgefeld
is represented by L. E. Cogburn,
J. S. Herin, T. J. Hunter, Jr.,' D.
A. Lynch, G. w. Watkins, M. 4.
Wright and w. J. Scott, who look
after her interest here.
Deeper and more general interest
is taken in athletics this year than
was ever shown before. All eyes
are now on the foot ball team watch
ing it's every movement. Watch it
in Charleston against the Citadel on
Thanksgiving. Though the Caro-
lima team has not been victorious in
many of the games of the season,
still the spirit that the men on the
team and the student body as
whole have put into the sport is so
admirable and powerful that great
things and pleasing results must
come. The annual class foot ball
games will be played later in the
season. Great interest is also taken
in tennis and basket ball. Students
that do not play on any of the
college teams are required to take
two hours of gymnasium work each
week.
A club called the Wilson Club
which consists of the boys of the
University has been organized. The
business of this club is to do all in
its power to elect Woodrow Wilson,
o democrat, to the presidency. Mr..
tW. H. Scott of Greenville vas
elected president of the club. This
is patriotic and noble cause and
every college man should join in
and do his best.
The popular lectures which are
included in the University extension
courses have proved to be very in
teresting and beneficial to those
who have attended. The subjects
of the lectures deal with those par
|ticular elements Of progress of
which the average college student is
Ignorant and should know. Two of
the lectures have already been given,
one by Professor Morse and another
by Professor Tate.
