" 'This is one of the verses on a beautiful monument I looked upon with tearful reverence while walking through Rose ?uo?. t cemetery, at Newberrv. Calvin Crozier was a Texas confed erate soldier, who shortly after the close of the war, was going home and had Home ladies in his charge. When the irajti. arrived at Newberrv some lawless pc'gro soldiers 'who were in camp near iy went into trie car and. grossly in sulted the ladies. Crozier and some others defended the ladies and in the i mi ..... mciee one oi the negroes was . slightly wounded. Before the train left .Ylouel Trowbridcre sent iome of ihu negroes to arrest the man who did it. They made a mistake and seized Mr. Jacob Bowers, a rail road employee, and hurried him away to the colonel's quarters. Without trial he was summarily ordered to be phot. It was near midnight when Crozier was told of Bowers' arrest and condemnation; he promptly went for ward and declared that he himself was the man who wounded the necrn. 0 - Lowers was released and at sunrise next morriiner Crozier was Rhot to leath, (notwithstanding his demand fov a trial and protest of Prince Kiv- I'lp, an officer in Trowbridge's com mand. The negro soldiers danced with fiendish delight upon and around the shallow grave where they had laid nm. .Long after the war Bis bones were removed and this monument was erected by the good people of New berry to his memory. Loc8 history record any nobler sac rifice? Damon-was the friend of Pythias, but this man Bowers was a stranger to Crozier. Much more of this pathetio story is recorded in the "Annals of Newberry," an int eresting volume written by John 1'vlUm O'Neall, LL. D. I was pleased to learn that other counties in Carolina were having their ahnaTs written and published in book form, i How else can we hand down to posterity the goodr deeds of our an cestors? htate histories cannot do it. for it; would make many ponderous volumes, but . even now it is not too late for someone of literary taste and fidelity in every county to confer with the old men and compile such a his tory. Such publications could be cheaply done and would be of inesti mable value to the citizens. Mr. Chapman, a well-preserved veteran, a cultured scholar, a gentlemen of the olden times, is now writing the annals of Edgefield. I was informed on good authority that this Mr. Chapman was the real author of the school. historyvof the L nited States that was published in Columbia, S. C, as the work of Alex. H. Stephens. Mr. Chapman submit ted his manuiscript to Mr. Stephens ftud for the use and prestige of his name pave him an interest in the royal ty. There was sea reel v a chance made in it from beginning to end. Newberry is a gem of a city and its population is perhaps more cultured and refined than anv city of South - Carolina. The professors of her col lege and high school, her lawyers and doctors and preachers and editors are all centlemen. not onlv in manners at heart. The standard of good hut citizenship is high and the influence of her leading men pervades the entire community. Mr. Aull, the editor of the News-Herald, is perhaps the best all round man for his work to be found, for he is not only a man of high culture, but is eminently a practical newspaper man and is devoted to his on 1:1 i n g. He has written the history of the state, and it is the standard in the schools.) Two of his boys, aged ten and twelve, are at work in the printing room, and do good service. Mr. .ull is not at all reconciled to the Modern system of grading the schools po that -it takes eight years to go through their courses. If four years iore are added for a college. course there is no time left for a boy to ac quire a knowledge of work or habits of ork. From eiedit to' twentv he is a pon producer, and when he graduates is tit only for the learned professions, Jf lit for anything. But his boys have to mingle study with labor and alter ute : the years of each. Mr. Aull is the president of the State Press Asso ciation. Of course Newberry has a large cot ton mill. ' Almost every Carolina town has one or more. As you travel from I'lac.e 4o place they are in sight, and !ve employment to the poor. Five fears ago Union had only 1,800 in Mutauts, but during all these dis tressing years has continued to grow a;id prosper until now there are 6000. JJne little mill, as they call it, started jye boom. iand encouraged them to h"ild another a very large ' one, hose four floors 'cover a space equal to six acres. Next came an oil mill ad a knitting mill and other indus nes, and now they are boring for ar tesian water, to supply a system of wa terworks. Neither in the city nor oear it are any people begging for ork for employment is at hand. - hen go to Spartanburg and be amazed. When I was there a few years ago there was .nothing to make money come Dot ave & college but now there are cotton mills near by that manufac ture 140,000 bales annually, and it is claimed that no one j county in the United States consumes as much Nbl an acret of suburban land can be bought for less than $30. Everything prospers and everybody seems happy. The taxable property,, has increased four-fold within eight years, and the population has more than doubled. Where did all the from, I inquired. i From a small beginning from one little mill, and it did bo well that oth ers soon followed. ' Northern manufac turers of machinery j were attracted there and took one-third of the stock and paid for it in spindles and looms and have made good 1 money and are content. Some Charleston money is there, too. These mills have made from 10 t4 20 per cent for several years and keep on making it, and these machinery men up nortlT will do the same thing" for the people of Carters ville or any other southern town that is healthy and well situated. They only wait to be invited. The Pied mont region of South Carolina is now the New England of the south. Even the young men and lyonng ladies of good families in i their towns are not toe j proud to take positions in the factories. They are bookkeepers, typewriters, corres pondents and superintend i some of the departments and earn good honest money. Just think of it, what a revo lution. For many years we have sup posed that the state was nearly worn and her young men would have to ac cept Greely's maxim, "Go west, young man, go west," but not so. Northern South Carolina is richer today and more prosperous than any portion of Georgia, j Anderson ' has nearly doubled her population during the last five years. New stores, new dwellings, new churches, parsonages and a fine publio school building have gone up, a new courthouse is pro jected and all this comes from the cot ton mills. It does seem as though the cotton we grow should be spun and woven at home. j My last visit was to the old historic town of Edgefield a town almost re tired from the publio gaze but one that has always felt proud of its pres tige as the domicile of more great men than any in the state. ! McDuffie lived here and Governor Pickens and the Butlers and Rhetts and Gary a and many others. The Tillmans live here and I was the honored guest of one of them.

The House resumed the transaction of publio business, and entered upon the consideration of the amendments of the civil appropriation bill. The general debate, and most of the debate under the five minute rule, was confined to the discussion of the Senate amendment to restore the lands reserved as forest reservations under President Cleveland's order of Febru ary 22, to the public domain. The Western members generally supported the Senate' proposition. The President's Engagements. The President has two engagements for this month.

"With God's Help Our Side Hat Conquered'--Smolenskl's Superb De fense of Velestino. - ! London, May 6. (By Cable.) The Correspondent of the Daily Telegraph at Volo, under date of Wednesday, says: "The biggest battle of the war began near Velestino this morning. Aa result of it, the Turks' force. of 40,000 men has been repulsed. The Turkish plan was to seize the hills on the North dividing Pharlasos from Yales tino. i - j I .: London, May 5. (By cable.)

It is said that both attacks have been repulsed by the Greeks. Gen. Smolenski says: "The brigade at Velestino is de.uged with blood. " f Larissa, May 5. (By Cable.) The soldiers who were wounded in the flrsC engagement at Velestino-are now com ing into the hospitals. The latter are well organized with the materials which the Greeks abandoned. The inhabi tants of Larissa denounce the command er of the Greek troops, and even accuse him of treason. They hope for an early intervention upon the part of the powers, in order to prevent : the com plete ruin of the country. It is stated here that the Crown Prince of Greece ordered Larissa to be burned previous to evacuating the place, but, it is said, there was no time to carry out his in structions. i j I . The Turks claim that the fighting whioh has taken place at Valestino, and in which they are said to have been repulsed was a mere reconnois sance of its forces, and its object, that of finding out the strength of the ene my, being achieved, the officers had the utmost difficulty ini inducing the men to retire. They were obliged, ! it is claimed to threaten them, and even then, they could not prevent the Turks, in defience, from singing during the withdrawal, the men declaring they were challenging the Greeks, and per sisting in singing in order to secure, if possible, a renewal of the fighting.

The sugar schedule has beex con sider ably changed; it now provides that machinery imported for the nana facture of beet sugar be admitted free. On maple sugar the duty is four cents a pound. A duty of ten cents a pound is levied on tea until 1900. Hides are taken from the free , list, and given a duty of a cent and a half a pound. In the coal schedule the word "bitumin ous" is taken out and all coal is made dutiable at seventy-five cents a ton, except when mixed with shale when the duty is aixty ecats. -Slack coal is listed at fifteen cents a ton. The Senate bill provides for an in crease in the internal revenue tax on beer by changing the rate to a dollar and forty cents per barrel on all beer, lager beer, poiter or other -silimar fer mented liquors, until the year 1900, when the rate will be reduced to a dol lar a barrel, the present rate. The retroactive clause of the Dingley tariff bill is stricken from the Senate bill. The entire House provision relat ing to reciprocity, is stricken out and a clause substituted providing that any country paying a bounty for the pro duction of goods which may come to this country, direct or indirect, .shall pay an additional duty to the regular duty on such goods, covering "the amount of the bounty. TO CONTINUE THE WAR. , The Shift In Greek Military Circles. Strict Neutrality Enjoined. London, May 5. '(By cable.) The Athens correspondent of the Times ays: The cabinet sat till daybreak Tuesday, hearing the reports of the ministers from the front, and finally resolved to continue the war.

(By cable,) It is now denied that an officer has been ap pointed to succeed Col. Vassos in com mand of the Greek forces in Crete. This is interpreted here as a prelude to the recall of Greek troops from the island, and as proof of the conciliatory intentions of the new cabinet. Col. Vassos has been appointed to succeed Colonel Manos, who has been in com mand of the Greek forces operating in Epirus.

At the Secretary of State's office, in Raleigh, a postal card has been secured from a man at Piseway, N. C, so says the Tribune, which beyond doubt dis tinguishes him as the most, absent minded man. or the biggest fool in North Carolina, The postal read as follows: "Piseway. K. O. "DeabSib: You will find enclosed $6.50 for which you will send land grant to , at Pise way, N. G, and oblige,. "Yours Truly, May 1, 1897." Dr. Thompson says that he does not know, and cannot decide, whether the fellow is a fool or crazy. It has been suggested that he have the card dis sected and discover if perohanoe the money is secreted therein. If this proves futile the services of Prof. Kil gore at the experiment station may be secured to make an analysis of its com position in search of the "enclosed" $6.50. It has been only a few weeks since Dr. Thompson received a card from a man who had been appointed magis trate, and it was addressed to "John Sherman, Secretary of State, Raleigh, N. C." This fellow wanted the Secre tary of State to grant him certain vol umes of the State laws, and it had not dawned upon him that John Sherman was not a North Carolinian, and .that he was Secretary of State of the United States, and not for the "Old North State' A special to the Charlotte Observer from Belmont; N. O. , says: As the time approaches for the townships to decide by vote whether they will assess themselves $5.00 in the hope of getting a like amount from the State, the voters naturally want what information they can get on the matter. The following correspondence throws some light on the subject: 1 Belmont, N. O., April 24, 1897. Hon. W. H. Worth. Raleigh. N. C. : ' Dear Sib: As the appropriations of the last General Assembly were in ex cess of the assessment, please notify me if the speoial appropriation of $500 to each township assessing itself a similar amount will be available.

I do not now see much prospect for payment of same. Yours very truly, W. H. Worth, State Treasurer. You will observe that Mr. .Worth has little hope of paying the townships anything, . and his highest expectation is simply to pro rate what is left after the regular appropriations have been made. Our old State is thus presented to us as a bankrupt, who after paying his preferred creditors, has but a small per cent, left for the rest. F. P. Hall. Belmont, N". C, May 4, '97.
