dents of the college will be both

Would give the students valuable In
formation on one branch of the gov
ernment sen lee with which every
I citizen comes In dally contact.
The following Is the letter sent
Capt. Mitchell:
"Postmaster Mitchell. My Dear
Sir: Noticing that the postmasters
throughout the country arc deliver
ing lectures before tbe schools, on
tbs postal service, I am writing to
ask If you will do us the favor to

Family Not Disposed
Push Case.
Amerlcus people who knew well the
Rev. Perry O. McDonald, who was shot
to death by his nephew, W ,T. McDon
aid. at his borne In Vienna last Sun
day evening, will be Interested in tbe
announcement of his release from Jail
on habeas corpus proceedings. .The
relatives of the dead man have refus
ed. it Is said, to swear out a warrant
for young McDonald, who asserts that
he shot his uncle In self-defense,
toting McDonald la highly esteemed,
nnd ns a member of his uncle's family
was greatly beloved by all. It seems
hardly probable that the case will be
pushed, the plen of self-defense, seem
Ingl.y being very generally credited.
The elder McDonald, who was
preacher ns well ns merchant, was
well known In Amerlcus, having Oiled
a pulpit In this city oftlmes in
years agone.

Recently an up-state paper pub
lished a glowing account of the al
leged Intentions of the United ‘Wire
less Telegraph Company to Install
stations at a number of (he most Im
portant cities of Georgia. Amerlcus
was given a (dace in the list.
The article In question was based
on nn order placed by the company
for 250 complete sets of the wireless
apparatus, and stated that many
these were to be used In cities east
of tbe Mississippi. It was farther
stated that as soon as suitable sites
could be selected in the various Geor
gia cities that contracts would
let.
While it in pleasant to Indulge In
dreania of a wireless station In Am
erlcus, from which messages could be
sent much cbesper than over the wire
Hues, the Tlmes-Uecorder took the
precaution to communicate with the
United Wireless Company .and asked
If Amerlcus was to be favored with
such a system.
It appeared from the reply that
Amerlcus was In no Immediate dan
ger of enjoying the wireless waves
the letter being ns follows:
The Tlmes-Recorder, Amerlcus
Ga. Gentlemen: We have your fav
or of the 6th Inst., relative to the es
tablishing of a station at Amerlcus.

New York Press.
The chief lesson that history
teaches ns about what fools men
have always been la bow wo keep
on being just like them.
Of tbe hundreds of parents of Con
federate soldiers wbo went from Am
erlcus and Sumter county to fight the
battles of the Confederacy only five
now survive of tbe Spartan band wbo
thus sent forth their sons to follow
Lee nnd Jqckson.
Three old mothers and two aged
fathers alone remain to tell tbe story
of sons going to battle.
Mrs. Fessley Murphy, eigbty-six
years old.
Mrs. Usry Dorman, more than
eighty years old.
Mrs. Polly Bindley, ninety years
old.
Mr. James A. Blacksbear, over nine
ty-three years old.
Mr. W. P. Finch, more than ninety
three years old.
These are the five residents of
Sumter county who had a son each
In tbe Confederate Army. A wonder
ful change wrought by time.
Several weeks ago the Tlmes-Rec
order asked for the names of each
and every survivor in the county
who thus bad a son In the Confeder
ate service, and after diligent Inquiry
can find only the five herein given.
Of tho hundreds of parents resid
ing here In 1861 to 1865, the war per
iod, but five yet survive.
Four or five companies went
from Amerlcus to fight the battles of
the Confederacy, this county supply
ing probably 500 or *00 valiant young
soldiers who marched beneath the
Stars and Bara of the. Confederacy
whll^ following Lee in Virginia.
These, of course, would bare IcR
behind 1,000 or 1,200 parents, nnd of
that large number, roughly citlmat
ed. It would be supposed that very
many still survived.
But the “older guard" the parents
tho boys In gray, like tbe latter,
are fast pasilng away, and probably
In another decade there will not
left In Sumter county one of those
who with tear-dimmed eyes saw
their sons go forth to battle.
And the old South, like the dear
old people who once made It the
most glorious part of America,
passing with time's changes.
