Two Incidents of the War.

We have just read in an English
paper two brief narratives which dis
close those depths of human brother
hood that lie far below the storms of
wars fierce passions. The first IL
lustrates we'll the truth we have call
ed attention to more than once, that
the soldiers of he warning nations
are settling no quarrel of their own.
Only a few feet separated the op-
posing trenches of the English and
the Germans. Hostilities had ceas-
ed. An Englishman, with camera
in his hand, ventured to call across
the narrow space, ANY of you want
your pictures taken?" Five Germans
appeared above the trenches, and
with smiling faces were photograph
ed. These men, cherishing no grudge
each for the other, knew that when
the order came they must shoot
across that intervening space to kill.
The other incident seems to us
like a rarely beautiful flower bios
soming in a deadly marsh. An Eng
lish soldier, a successful charge hav-
ing been made. stopped beside a
wounded German. Can I do any
thing to relieve you?" he asked. Both

near the end. Won't you stay here
by me and hold my hand till it's

Every mail brings newspapers va

with requests to publish. This mat
ter comes from every source imagin--
able, from the United States govern

Some Of it is good matter, but the
greater portion is some sort Of a
free-advertising scheme. Any news

get any kind of legitimate news. but
it is appalling to- note how many
people.want the newspaper, especially
the county newspaper, to boost and
advertise their private business for
them-gratis, of course. Speaking
along this line, the following. credit

from $500. to $1,000 in free lines to

edited or crowded with thought, but
financially it is OF more beneht TO

When Richard |. Manning was
making his campaign last summer he
promised the people if elected to en-
force the laws. The governor is GER
tainly making strenuous efforts to re-
deem his campaign pledges, and if
he fails to do so, the blame will not
be his. After a period of such lax
enforcement of laws, the present ac-
tivities appear almost radical in their
nature. South Carolina is fast being
restored to its former prestige.

WAS JAMES BOYS COOK.
Negro Who Had Fled Slavery Tells
OF Wrecking Train.

Awakened by the recent death of
Frank James. "reminiscences of the
murderous exploits of the notorious
James brothers were reviewed at
Waukesha. Wis, by Fred McFeders,
known as Bud. a colored porter, who
cooked tor the outlaws.
The deep affection for the James
brothers instilled into the heart OF
this rescued slave Is shown as he re-
lates the hazardous adventures
through the woods and hills of Min
nesota, Missouri, Kansas, Iowa. Ar
kansas and the DaHotas, but there is
biting scorn when he tells of the
traitorous shooting of Jesse James
and the scattering of the band OF
highwaymen and bank and train rob-
ber:
"Jese James was one Of the
shrewdest men that ever, lived" COM
mented McFeders. but he made one
bad mistake. Bob Younger had been
wounded and left behind following
bank robbery in Minnesota and
Jesse sent his two brothers, Jim and
Cole. back to kill him saying, a
dead man tells no tales Bitter
words passed and the gang divided.
The Younger brothers were captured
in their attempt to aid their brother
and | followed the James boys back
to Missouri.
Jesse was rounding up new re-
cruits and had organized new gang
when he was shot while hanging pic
lures in his own home by an accom-
plice and a cousin. Bob Ford. He
was rewarded by the State and pro-
tected Frank James surrendered
to his governor and after serving in
the penitentiary several years was
paroled, l understand, because he
showed symptoms of consumption, l
left the gang about 1880 and haven't
seen any member of it since.
Jesse James always was smooth
faced and usually had his hair clipp-
ed. When ready to make raid he
would don false wig and false mus
tache and disguise his coal black
horse with daubs of white paint. 1t
wasn't an uncommon thing for Jesse
to 'slick-up' in a frock coat and silk
hat and mingle with the throng in
some city and join in. discussion of
the terrible James bandits.
"Probably the most daring robbery
made by the gang was that at the
Kansas City bank during the fair
week. where 100000 was stolen. 1
only saw the gang work on one occa-
sion. my duty being to remain behind
and have meals ready when they re-
turned.

assist. The train came along shortly
after midnight. The engine toppled
into the ditch, killing the engineer
and fireman, and the baggage, mail,
express and passenger coaches were
robbed"
