AGED WARRIOR ENDS BATTLES
Gen. Daniel E. SickIes Dies in New
YOrk-Was 4 National Fig
ure,


New Yorg, May 3.-Gen. Daniel E.
Sickles died at his home shortly after
9 o'clock tonight. His wife was at
his bedside at the end
Gen. Daniel Edgar Sickles was the
last of the commanders VINO fought
the battle of Gettysburg. For decade
he was fighter by PROFESSIONAL
his life he was a fighter by nature.
The gruff old warrior, with one leg
shot away in battle, his massive head
resembling Bismarck's, was a pictur-
esque figure as he hobbled along on
crutches during the last half century
Of his turbulent life.
His indomi,able fighting spirit re-
mained to the last. Born in New York
city in 1925, sickles, at the age of %,
fought the Wings as a Democrat in
the New York legislature. Al % he
displayed his fighting spirit as corpo-
ration attorney of New York. 1t was
ne who secured for his city lis great
Central park. At this time his mill
tary career began as major OF the
Twelfth regiment, National Guard,
New York.
Before he was 80 years old, Maj.
Sickles had served as secretary of le-
CATION at London under Minister
James Buchanan; he had won a State
senatorship through a bitter cam
paign, and he was seated in the
Thirty-fifth congress at Washington
1t was at this time that an event
occurred which became the sensation
Of the day. Sickles had begun his sec
oad term as congressman in 1859
when the national capital was stirred
by the news that the young repre-
sentative from New York had snot
and killed Philip Barton Key, the
United States district attorney for the
District of Columbia. Sickles de-
clared that Key had misled Mrs
Sickles, who was TAerese Bagioli,
daughter of an Italian music teacher.
The trial lasted 20 days, ending in the
acquittal Of Sickles on the ground of
"unwritten law He then took his
erring wife back.
81 am not aware of any statute or
code of MORALS said Sickles to his
critics, which makes it Infamous to
forgive a woman. I can now see in
the almost universal denunciation
with which she is followed to nay

.Annlied Advice.

Some time ago an Alabama lady
kindly undertook to advise one of her
negro maids as to certain rules Of
propriety that always should be OBJ
served by young women 20 whom at
tentions are paid by gentlemen friends,
says the Houston Post. One evening
the lady, wondering whether her
seeds Of advice had upon rocky ground,
stationed herself in a rocker near the
kitchen door, where she was enter
tanned by the following dialogue:

Mrs. Sickles died of broken heart
few years later.
At the outbreak OF the War Between
the Sections the young fighting poll
tician, then sc years old, went to Lin
coin to offer mis- services.
You have been a leader in New
York Democratic politics. said the
president. If you kept your end up
at that game surely you'll do to take
command of men in the field. Raise
your regiments and you shall be brig
adler general in command
Sickles raised the famous Excelsior
brigade in New York, taking COM
mand fone Of its regiments as col
orel. Lincoln kept his word and in
1861 raised him to brigadier general.
His fighting spirit early won him, his
spurs. On the peninsula and at An
tietam he distinguished himself as a
soldier and leader A. Chancellors-
vile he led division. Al Gettysburg
he led the Third corps, lost leg aud
became hero. At 81 years of age,
he had risen from a colonel to major
general of volunteers.
After the war his fighting spirit led
him into the regular army, and he
became first, brigadier and then major
general. He continued active service
until 1869, when he was appointed
ministee to Spain by President Grant.
At the court of Spain, Sickles' Wig
orous personality made him a dom
mating figure. Four years of brilliant
diplomacy brought him the epithet
OF "The Yankee King Of Spain. Here
ne contracted his second marriage,
with the beautiful and distinguished
Senorita Creagh. This romance was
followed by enlargement which was
to last more than a quarter century.
In addition 20 this domestic trouble
come his interference in the marriage
plans of his daughter to a penn;less
Spanish nobleman. Father and daugh-
ter separated in bitterness, the latter
to re.urn 70 the United States to die
without reconciliation.
Returning alone to Ne WORK, Gen.
Sickles again entered politics. He
served as sheriff Of New York and at
81 ne was reelected to congress.
Gen. S;ckles' life drew to a close
with frequent romantic situations. He
faced bankruptcy proceedings in his
last years, though he had early in
life received a large share of his
fathers $3,OO0,OO0 estate, but his es-
tranged wife and son came to his aid.

WHITNIRE AND BACK.

We attended the meeting of the
teachers association at Whitmire on
Saturday. A meeting was held at this
place one year ago. The attendance
tais year was not as large as the one
a year ago, though it was very good
meeting and attended by many OF the
teachers. The discussions were in
teresting and along lines of the work
OF the teachers.
The good people of Whitmire and
community. served most elaborate
picnic dinner after the meeting ad-
journed.
The school building has been en-
larged and is now one of the best
equipped and arranged school build
ings in the county, and The enrolment
has greatly increased. The teachers
are among the best equipped in the
State and all together it is a fine
school. The community seems to have
the school spirit and every one is in
terested in the success of the school.
In connection With the regular work
OF the school there is a music depart
ment in charge of Miss Coleman who
is doing fine work in this department.
Prof Wall as principal and Misses
ChappeH and Donnan, Smith, Fridy,
Lupo and Mrs. Jeter are all experience

The return trip was made around

sadly in need OF attention, but We
must realize tnat the chaingang can

We should have at least one good road !

is one Of the important trading points
in Newberry :hat We can rot reach |

Speaking Of roads we made a trip

road by Mt. Zion is in worse condi-
ton than We have ever known it this
season of The year, and we have been
travelling this road for many years.
We talk great deal about rural life
and tne development Of the rural COM
munities and the building Of rural
schools and We seem utterly to over
look the first step in the development
of rural life, and that is the building
of roads. And we seem to forget that
money put in roads is an investment
that will pay larger dividends than
any o.her investment we can make.
And it is the first step to the building I
up of our rural communities and upon !
the prosperity Of these communities
rests the prosperity of the whole coun-

What each county should do is to
build two or three good permanent |
thoroughfares across each county and
keep them up and then the roads lead
ing into them could be fairly we'll kept

at least one good road within reach
