FAITHFUL UNTO DEATH
THE RAD BMDIKG OF RICHARD AL
LKN, THE OLD SLAVE WHO LOVED
HIS OWNER BETTER THAN HIS
FREEDOM.
Charleston News and Courier :
An old colored man named Richard
Allen was found dead in u lot in
the tipper wards ycsteiday.
The reader* ot the weekly News
■nd Courier remember in one of
the war stories published in that
paper ieme years ago a touching
story, written by Mrs. D. M
O’Driscoll, of fidelity which the
death ot Allen recalls. He wik
the slave of an old lady who resid
ed in Beaufort county. During
the war Allen was in Charleston
when he heard that his old mis
tress was ill He worked his way
to the plantation and stood faith
fully by the bedside of his old mis
tress. Mrs. Sullivan, who was
the grand-daughter of David
Hamilton, of Charleston, who was
captured by the British in May,
1780, and incarcerated in prison at
Philadelphia. While there the
hosts ol General Sherman swept
through the country, leaving deso
lation in their truck and earning
off everything ot value, including
the slaves. Among these was
Allen, who was forced against his
will to accompany the army. He I
liegged his liberators to allow him
to return to his old mistress, but
in vain. He then went to head
quarters, and with tears in his eyes
besought the commanding officer
to allow him to return. The offi
cer told him he was a free man,
and offered him a position as ser
vant to his staff at good wages,
but old Alien refused. He said
his old mistress had been more
than a mother t> him, and that she |
had not long to live. 1 his per
sistence) touched the heart ot the
officer, who finally gave him
money enough to pay his way
back home. Allen found his way
to the bedside of his old mistress,
•nd remained there until she died,
when he made a coffin out of some
planks taken from the piazza and
buried her.
Il is needless to say that old
Allen will be buried by the friends
iof his old mistress.
ROTTEN IN DEMARK
We clip the tollowing well timed
nJ* lorial from the Augusta Chroni
♦.hte : When a people fail to snp
yoit homo industries there is al
«vays, to use a classic phrase,
-“something rotten in the State of
Denmark.*' It may be that the
domestic enterprise is a trifle
higher in price than the foreign or
outside product, but is it not bet
ter to give a little more at home
4hnu to send thou-nnds of dollars
abroad? That money spent at
home circulates there. It is the
lite blood of any community. It
is not cheaper, in the long run, to
buy abroad what can be had at
borne. The incalculable accumu
lation of capital at the East and
the enormously increasing hoard
of money at the West can, in no
inconsiderable degree, be traced
to the utter folly of Southern peo
ple, who, first of all, did not con
centrate their surplus upon home
enterprises, to stop leaks, and who
sent their cash by millions and
millions of dollars to build up a
gigantic empire north of Mason’s
and Dixon's line.
Had the South used her power
of wealth-production for home
development, in old times, there
would have l»een no war, or, al
any rate, there would have been
do conquest. We, mon- than any
other factor, helped forge the
thunderbolt that smote us. Our
principle was correct, but we had
neglected the material means ne
cessary to enforce it. Is the les
•ou a vain one ?
People in the country and in
the cities of the South should, in
all practicable ways, become com
mercially independent and self
supporting. They should decline
all speculative baits at New York
or Chicago. They should en
courage home industries and even
nt a small sacrifice, in the Itegin
ning, support them.
We have been tempted to recur
to recur to this subject by the in
formation given by our Romo cor
respondent rela ive to a cigar
maiiiifacturer there who is neglect
ed for New York houses whose
wares are inferior. This derelic
tion of the Southern people runs,
in a measure, through all the lines
;of trade. While such delinquency ’
exists, we need, not seek far to find
what ails other folks besides the
farmer.

JESSE CAMPBELL’S GAME.
HIS LITTLE DAUGHTER RECEIVES
THE DISCHARGE INTENDED FOR
A RABBIT.
Athens, Ga., December 30. —
The Banner-W atchman has glean
ed particulars of a tragedy which
has already been noted. It ap
pears that Jesse Campbell, color
ed, is quite a sportsman, and be
ing the owner of an old muzzle
loading shetgun. spent a good por
tion of his lime in the fields and
woods. He had some half a dozen
children, but they all being girls
except the youngest, that was a
baby, be always, when out hunt
ing, carried his little daughter
Clarissa Ann. aged fourteen years,
with him to turn squirrels while
he shot them. When last the
father and child started out on a
bird hunt, they met with poor
success. As the sun was about
setting Jesse decided to go through
a swamp to see if he could not find
a rabbit. He told the little girl to
go around, so if a rabbit jumped
up she might tell him. The swamp
was a dense thicket, and it was
slow work getting through it.—
Hence the child got ahead of her
father, but was concealed by the
flushes. Finding no rabbits,Jesse
decided to kill a bird to take home
to the baby. He fired three times
at little birds, the last time at a
joreker, but missed it. At the
third report of h s gun he heard
the little girl scream out in front
of his gun. He hastened to the
spot from whence the scream pro
ceeded and discovered the child
standing up. He asked if she was
shot. At this instant she sank to
the earth. The lather carried her
to the house. A messenger was
dispatched for Dr. Willingham.—
About fifteen minutes before the
doctor arrived the child bad breath
ed her lust.—Constitution.
In Savannah, recently the fifteen
months old girl baby of George Beck
man fell from the second story win
dow to the pavement, striking on its
head. It was picket* up almost life
less, and a serious depression was dis
covered in its head. As the bones of
the skull were not sufficiently hard to
fracture, the physician, by a skillful
operation, succeeded in bringing the
injured part to its normal condition,
and the child is doing well.
Ei-Gw. I. H. Stephens’ tain
I am first couwin of the late Ex-Governor Al
exander H. Stephenw, and have been postal
clerk on different railroads since 1868. For
ten years 1 have been a sufft rer from a cancer
on my face, which grew worse until the dis
charge of matter became profuse and very
offensive. I became thoroughly disgusted with
blood purifiers and pronounced them humbugs,
an I had tried many without relief.
Finally I was induced to use B. B. IL, which
was about the Ist of Febnary, and continued
its use until the latter part of April. The
offensive discharge decreased at once and the
hardness around the cancer disappeared. It
improved iny general health end 1 rapid.y.
gained flesh and strength. The discharge
grndually decreased and the cancel became
less and less in size until nothing remains
except a scar to tell the tale of a once dangerous
enne r. Ail who have seen me since 1 have
commenced the use of B. B. B. hear testimony
as my great improvement, and the scar on my
face shows that it cured the cancer. I find
that B. B. B. comes squarely up to what it is
recommended, and I cannot say too much in
praise ot this wonderful medicine. I have
tried them all, but B. B. B. stands at the top
as a blood purifier.
The above is copied from the Athens, (Ga;)
Banner-Watchman, being the voluntary
language ot Mr. James A. Greer, which editor
Gviitt indorses:
*M >. Greer is an honest upright citizen • !
Athvi s, who had a bad cancer, and his numer
ous friends thoughttliat he could not live very
long, ns the cancer was gradually sapping the
foundation of Ins constitution, but now looks
well and hearty.”
2 gainst IS.
Several physicians have pronounced my
disease blood poison, caused by paint or lead
in tliu paint, but they could not cure me. Last
Kummer 1 used eighteen bottles ot a largely
advertised blood medicine, which did me no
m<»re good than so much water.
1 have used only two bottles of B. B. IL and
am proud to say that 1 have received gr< ater
benefit from them than from the eighteen, and
am now rapidly recovering. I'here is no
question alxmt the superiority of IL B. B. over
»11 blood remedies.
