ed Abraham Lincoln.

day in a fight in the dining room of

serious condition at the PENNSYLVANIA
State Hospital. The state constabu-
larry are making desperate efforts to
find the men who did the stabbing.
According to all the information
the authorities could gather the fight
started suddenly and was over in a
few minutes. It began shortly before
seven o'clock, when the dining room
was full Of people, and caused a
panic among the scores Of guests.
The veteran who was unhurt and dis
appeared in the melee was sitting
near David Farbor and Edward J.
Carroll, when he heard the sighting
remarks about Lincoln. He jumped
to his feet and began to defend the
martyred president and 'berated his
detractors.
The men who were stabbed, &C
cording to the information the sur
geons gathered, jumped to the de-
fence of the veteran when the others
closed in. Knives were out In a
second and the room was thrown into
an uyroar. 1t was all over before
the rest Of the men in the room
could get their breath and the men
responsible for it had fled.

Does our union mean sympathy, our
peace contentment, our Vigor right
action, our maturity self-comprehen-
sion and a clear confidence in choos-
ing what we shall do? War fitted
US for action, and action never ceases.
'.I have been chosen the leader Of
the nation. I can not justify the
choice by any qualities of my own,
but so it has come about and here I
stand. Whom do I command? The
ghostly hosts who fought upon these
battlefelds long ago and are gone?
These gallant gentlemen stricken in
years whose fighting days are over,
their glory won? What are the or
ders for them, and who rallies them?
have in my mind another host,
whom these set free of civil STRIFE in
order that they might work out in
days Of peace and settled order the
life of a great nation. That host is
the people themselves, the great and
the small, without class or difference
of kind or race or origin; and un-
divided in interest, if we have but the
vision to guide and direct them and
order their lives Alright in what we
do. Our constitutions are their art1-
cles of enlistment. The orders Of the
day are the laws upon our statute
books. What we strive for is their
freedom, their right to lift themselves
from day to day and behold the
things they have hoped for, and so
make way for still better days for
those whom they love who are to
come after them. The recruits are
the little children crowding in. The
quartermaster' stores are in the
mines and factories. Every day
something must be done to push the
campaign forward; and it must be
done by plan and with an eye to
some great destiny.
"How shall we hold such thoughts
in our hearts and not be moved. l
would not have you live even to-day
wholly in the past, but would wish TO
stand with you in the light that
streams upon US now out OF that
great day gone by. Here is the ma
ton God has builded by our hands.
What shall we do with 1t? VINO
stands to act again and always in the
spirit of this day of reunion and hope
and patriotic fervor? The day OF our
country's life has but broadened into
morning. Do not put uniforms Dy.
Put the harness of the present day
on. Lift your eyes to the great tracts
of life yet to be conquered in the IN
terest of righteous peace, OF that
prosperity which lies in peoples
hearts and outlasts all wars and
errors of men. Come let us be COM
rades and soldiers yet to serve our
fellow men in quiet counsel, where
the blare Of trumpets is neither
heard nor needed and where the
things are done which make blessed
the nations of the world in peace and
Righteousness and love"

PASSED BY CONFEDERATE VET.
ERANS AT GETTYSBURG.
To Pennsylvania and the Government
for Splendid Treatment-Pledge
Utmost Loyalty to United States.

CluloSL AoS ATTY " CuAtSO olaeSS'
At meeting of the Confederate
Veterans at Gettysburg the following
resolutions were unanimously adopt
ed:
Resolved, by the ex-Confederates
at Gettysburg assembled that our
thanks are due and are hereby ten
dered to the state Of Pennsylvania
for initiating the movement which
has made it possible for the surviy-
ors of the two great armies which
fought in this illustrious field fifty
years ago, to meet in friendship here
to-day and plant monument Of
peace a monument which shall stand
as the symbol of American valor,
manhood and brotherhood.
Resolved, that we thank the gov
ernment of the United States for the
magnificent and munificent. manner
in which it has seconded the efforts
of the state of Pennsylvania in carry
ing forward this great work Of peace
and fraternity between the blue and
gray; and without any self-abase-
ment whatsoever, we desire to reaf-
firm and pledge not only ourselves,
but all our brother ex-ConfedeTates,
and all the people of our loved South
land to the utmost loyalty to the gov
ernment Of the United States and to
the flag Of our country.
Resolved, that we take pride in
the fact that to the armies Of the
Confederacy is due the credit Of de-
monstrating the utter impossibility
of the dismem berment of the Union.
When we consider that 100000 men
OF the very flower Of chivalry, as
good material as was ever organized
in a fighting force, and directed by
such commanders as our beloved
Robert e. Lee and his lieutenant, in
spired by sectional devotion such as
has not elsewhere been known in
history, failed to separate the states,
we SEQ that the demonstration was
complete, that the thing was not to
be done, and our failure must give
pause to those who in the future
would contemplate such an under
taking"

Democrats Economical.

Uncle Sam closed the fiscal year
1913 with a surplus Of s40,0S3,229,
representing the excess of receipts
over expenditures, exclusive of Pan
ANA canal and public debt transac-
tions. This exceeds last years sur
plus by s3.75O.oOo. The Panama
canal expenditures and public debt
transactions, however, wiped out the
surplus of ordinary receipts over or
dinary expenditures and created a

WALLED UP IN HOUSE
YOUNG GIRL SEALED ALIVE IN
y sTONEENCLOSED TOMB.
After Tearing Off Blindfold Mason
Was Compelled at Point of Pistol
to Complete the Job.

10 complete the JOB.
The identity and fate of young
girl who was walled up and left to
die in building near Barcelona,
Spain, has caused the Spanish aulnor-
tiles to institute rigid investigation.
The affair was made public through
the statement made by Esteban Gut
ierrez, stone-mason, who tells a
thrilling story Of how ne was COM
PEELED, at the point Of a revolver, to
do the work.
Gueierrez declares that, after he
had advertised in a newspaper for
work, two well-dressed men called
at his address and asked him to ac-
company them in motor car into the
country a short distance ITO make
some urgent repairs.
Reaching a dense woods on the
outskirts of the city, the two men
and a chauffeur seized, bound and
blindfolded the stonemason, and a
few minutes later the car stopped in
front of a lonsely house.
The mason declares he was led in
side and ordered to wall up narrow
aperture the stone and mortar being
in readiness. Gutierrez says he
heard some one sobbing, and, tearing
the bandage from his eyes, he saw
a young girl, bound with ropes and
wedged in the aperture.
He was promptly knocked down by
his captors, and when he arose, was
ordered to build wall so as to en-
close the girl, and when he refused
was threatened with revolvers. The
mason declares that, at the points Of
the guns, he was compelled ito wall
up the young girl after which the
car conveyed him to a woods several
miles away, where he was unbound,
given $40 in silver and warned not
to speak of the incident. Lost, he
wandered several hours before he
was discovered by woodsman, and,
reaching Barcelona, he went at once
to the police.

AN UNUSUAL CASE
MISTAKEN IDENTITY CAUSED BY
TWO MISSING TOES.
Negro Almost Convicted at Benefits
vile When It Was Found That He
Was Not the Man Wanted.

vile When It Was Found That He
Was Not the Man Wanted.
One of the most remarkable cases
of mistaken identity, caused by sim
liar peculiarities, happened at Ben
nettsville in the trial Of Neal Davis,
alias Tom Hightower, for wife mur-
der. In 1904 Tom Hightower, a-ne-
gro man, murdered his wife in a
most brutal way, severing her arms
and limbs from her body, cutting her
throat and otherwise brutally cutting
her. The different parts of the body
were buried at different places in
bay. Tom Hightower made his es-
cape.
Last February negro who was
raised in Marlboro county, was serv-
ing sentence at Easley and ne re-
ported that another negro on the
gang at that place and at that time
was Tom Hightower. The arrest was
made and the negro who claimed to
be Neal Davis was brought to Ben
nettsville. The resemblance was
most striking. A striking feature of
the resemblance was that Tom High
tower had lost a great toe on the
left foot, as had the prisoner.
After being brought to Benefits
Vile he gave his name as that Of
Neal Davis, stated that he was raised
in Pulaski county, Georgia, gave
names Of citizens Of that communi-
ty.
Several negroes in this county who
had worked with Tom Hightower
and knew him intimately, swore posi-
lively that the defendant on trial was
Tom Hightower, one Of them using
the expression, IF that is not Tom
Hightower, he is in Tom Hightower's
Hide" Two white men who also
knew Hightower well, testified that
the defendant was Hightower. Two
chaingang guards from Pickens coun-
ty had been brought to Bennettsville
by the State, and they testified that
Davis had told them he had murder
ed his wife, that he had cut up her
body and buried it in different places.
The defence sought to weaken this
testimony by showing that these two
witnesses made no reference to the
confession when the sheriff went to
Easley for the prisoner, and that
they said nothing about it until some
time afterwards, when all Of the facts
had been published in the daily pa
pers.
The State had also brought two
witnesses from Georgia. These two
men talked to Davis, and testified
that they were satisfied beyond all
doubt that the prisoner was not Tom
Hightower, but that ne was Neal
Davis; that he worked under them
on their plantation several years
to 1904 and left there in 1904. Tom
Hightower had been in that county
and section several years prior to
the killing of his wife in 1904.
The missing toe Of HightoWer's
foot was cut off irregularly and rag
gedly, and not smoothly. The state
ment of DR.. Crosland was that the
toe on the negro's foot had been am
putated by a skilled surgeon, and
that it was as fine piece Of sur
geary of the kind as he had ever
seen. It was altogether smooth. Two
other witnesses testified positively
that the defendant was not Tom
Hishtower. After being out few
minutes the jury returned a verdict
Of not guilty.
