Historians have been per- uating the old story that Nap’s last words were: * * * army * * * -head of the army * * * feephine.” That sounds a little too theatrical tq jjitrue, more like what would be said by a stage pleon. St. Denis, in his personal recollections, te nothing about these alleged last words. Ac- iing to his story, Napoleon in his last moments tfithiefly concerned with getting wine. SjjXhe valet recorded it this way: “He would ask Mfl A little wine from time to time, which they X&stened to give him. He said after drinking a few^ jj+ops, ‘Ah, how good wine is! How good wine is!’ ” sounds more human. And Napoleon was jjgjijdishly human. - . S ijVs death drew near, while rats scurried to and *dn the rambling corridors: “He would cough so t d that he could be heard all over the house. The fWror died without the slightest perceptible con vulsion and without the least stiffening. He went out as the light of a lamp goes out-” * Napoleon, vain to the point of egomania, was constantly on the watch for anything that he could interpret as a slight, St Denis wrote. • ,,“He was absolutely like a child.” ; He knew that he caught cold easily, yet he never hurried to shelter when caught in the rain while 6Ut walking. In reading, if he liked a book he re placed it carefully on the library shelves. If the ook bOrod him* he showed lively displeasure, often myowing the volume into the fire. In his last days, tte Wore his clothes until they were shabby, then fiad the tailor “turn” them. He never used gloves,. xcept occasionally on horseback. “The emperor never wore any jewelry except a vatjch,” runs the valet’s record. Probably this was lue to fear that jewelry might detract from atten- iion that he wanted exclusively for his person.” Napoleon was an abnormal creature. He was a ‘ nius at leadership and organization. But per- nally he was a type that, few of us would invite to jj[ again, judging from his valet’s book.

Sjnce the suggestion made in this , column a few days since regarding the beautify ing and cleaaing up of the Oconee cemetery,- many citizens have expressed a great interest in having, conditions improved in the “City of the Dead.” As sug gested, we believe that it would [■ be a capital plan for the mayor! pacity to his employer or to his and council to have an act passed business is a drone and a draw pursuits should work to , make themselves efficient in whatever avocation they may be engaged. The person whd' holds back and .docs not “put out” his full cn by the incoming legislature tak ing over the cemetery as a depart ment of the muncipaiity. This would place the responsibility of the upkeep of the cemetery on thu mayor and council, which would assure direct control' ond conduct of the last resting place of cue dead. We believe that those Hi cooked our meal and rested ] charge of the cemetery are doing all that is possible for. its up keep with the funds at their dts- posal, but the matter is of such import there should be found way by which the appearance could be changed from that of n potter’s field to that of a “Flan ders field—where poppies bloom.” , - A PENSION TOR NEGROES OF CONFEDERACY f, The South Carolina Legislature has passed a —{nil to pension negroes who remained faithful to , Chelr masters during the War Between the States. {Phis belated action to substantially express the ap preciation of the state of South Carolina to these . good old negroes will meet with the approval of t , .every right thinking man and woman in the South.
