Let's Talk Sense.

Wonder If any Of the candidates
who are trying to stir up the mill men
ana the farmers against the new en-
rollmcnt rule really believe it is a
hardship on them. DO they really be-
heve that there is anybody in South
Carolina who will not haze plenty of
time and opportunity to go to the seq
retary of his club and enroll his
name? If there is such a one, and tho
candidates will point him out, we have
no doubt in the world that the secre-
cary of his club. or the enrolling COM
mittce. will carry the book to him
at his home or place Of business

Groups of volunteers bearing flags are

LOSS OF 100000
Commissioners Had Followed Out
Policy of Not Insuring De-

Following the principle propounded by
the earlier members of the Vanderbilt
family in not carrying insurance on de-
structible property. the District of Co
lumbia suffered a S3oOOOO loss in the fire
that Quilted the Western High School
building.
The Commissioners believe it Is cheaper
to erect a new structure where one is
burned down than carry insurance on all
its destruCtible property. Therefore the
Western High School building was not in
sured.
Pupils Of the school. of course, will
have a short vacation until arrangements
can be made for them. On Monday

were nothing more formidable than side
arms.
AS Grants train approached Warren
ton Junction, twenty miles from its des-
tination, the general and his party. look
ing from the windows. noticed a column
of dust rising above the treetops a
short distance east of the track.
The practiced eye of Grant saw some
thing unusual In this dust. 1: could be
raised only by body of horsemen rid
ing rapidly, sncb as cavalry on a charge.
As there wod be no occasion for the
cavalry stationed heresbouts TO engage
in a charge, unless an enemy were be-
fore IL, Grant considered IL wise to
get to the bottom Of the business.
The engineer was ordered to stop at
the junction. Instead of the cavalry
guard usually to be found at that point.
only one man was to be seen. He de-
ciared that Mosby's men had just
crossed the railroad. and were now pu--
suing the Federal cavalry at full speed
on the road to the east
Grant saw at once the closeness OF his
escape. With men enough to drive away
the railroad guard. Mosby could have
laid in wait for Grants train. A raii
removed would have brought 1t to a halt.
The rest would have been easy.

arrived at headquarters without further
adventure; but the incident of the col
umn of dust made a lasting impression
on his mind. and when, in the evening
Of his life, he wrote his memoirs. he de-
scribed il.
The personality OF Mosby was inter
esting to Grant, and when. after the
war, Grant and Mosby met at Wash
ington the two began an acquaintance
that in time became intimate.
Grant found Mosby "A different man
entirely" from what he had supposed.
In his memoirs Grant wrote Of the
former ranger:
He is slender. not tall. wiry. and
looks as IL he could endure any amount
of physical exercise. He is able and
thoroughly honest and truthful. There
were probably few men in the South
who could have commanded success
fully a separate detachment in the reaI
of an opposing army and so near the
border of hostilities as long as he did
without losing his entire command"
Mosby kept his command to the end.
Until 1864 Gen. Lee had opposed the
employment OF partisan Rangers. on
the ground that the men had too much
license. As late as the spring Of that
year he recommended that MOsby's
command be incorporated in the regu-
lar forces for the good OF the army
Mosbys services in the period here
treated appear TO have won Lees ad
miration, for in September Gen. Lee in
dOrsed a belated report from MOsby
covering his operations from March 10
to May /, as follows:
with the loss of a little more than
twenty men. Col Mosby had killed,
wounded. and captured during the pc
riOd embraced in the report about 1900

1900 horses and mules, $50 beef cattle.
