THE CAREER OF LOUIS TREZEVANT
WIGFALL OF SOUTH CAROLINA.
Tho Desperate Duel with Preston 3. Brooks

Bombardment of Fort Sumptei-
—Senator and Soldier.
Visitors to the Episcopal cemetery may
have noticed a plain marble tombBtone in
tho family IruryiDg ground of the late F. H.
Jierriman, for many years a prominent
lawyer in this city. The voiceless marble
marks the last resting place of a man who
a third ot a century ago was a prominent
figure in the politics of the eountry. The
fnscrlptton reads as follows:
LOUIS} TREZEVANT WH1FALL.
Becatoi* In the Congress of the United States.
Senator in the Congress of the Coniedernte
States.
First Caminaoder
Of the Texas llrigode of tbo Army ot
Northern Virginia.
Lorn: April 21,18IH.
Died February 18, 1874.
Bravo, Teuder, True.
General Wigfall was a native of South
Carolina and graduated from the college of
that state in 1827, and at once embraced the
firofeseion of the law. In 1845, through tho
nflnence of General James Hamtlton, who
was 9 itaucb frieudof therepublioof Texas,
a partnership was arranged between Wig-
fall and Hqn. Wm. B. Ochiltree. WigfaTl
came to Texas, and after remaining at Uul-
veston for a short |time|removed to Nacog-
doches, and from thence to Marshall, where
the law Arm of Ochiltree, Jennings & Wig-
fall was domiciled, remaining at that place
tintli i860. In 1357 Genoral Wigfall was
Sleeted to tho state senate from Harrison
pountj, and in the memorable canvass for
Ijorernor between General Sam Houston
md Hardin R. Runnels canvassed the state
n the interest of the latter, and was Instru-
mental in achieving the defeat of the hero
«f San Jacinto. From that time forward he
became a conspicuonj figure in political af-
fairs, bping an extremist of the states'
rights School. Iu 1S58 he was chosen Unitod
States senator to fill tho vacancy caused by
tho death of Hon. J. Pincknay Henderson.
After toe secession of South Carolina he
retired from the senate, and was a member
of the stall of General Pickens dnring tho
bombardment of Fort Sumter. When Tex-
as seceded he was eleoted a member of the
provisional- congress, which convened at
Montgomery, Ala. When the flrHt battalion
of Tola? troops In Virginia was formed into
■ regiment be was made colonel, and after-
ward Brigadier-general of three regiments,
Jrhloh afterward achieved famo as Hood's
Texas brigade. Wigfall remained In com-
mand bht a few months, when he was elec-
ted confederate senator from ;Texas, and
resigned bis military position. After the
collapse of the confederacy he went to Lon-
jjoon, returning to Texas In 1878, in 111
Eealtb, and dying in Galveston iu 1874. His
family came from the interior to the fitner-
al, and at the time it was stated that his re-
mains would be removed elsewhere for in-
terment, but it was never done, and but for
his rriJnds in the city his body might now
be mouldering In an uumarked grave.
AS A duelist.
When Wigfall reached manhood "the
coda" was a recognized Institution in South
Carolina, and he participated in several
duels, the most noted of which was his af-
fair with Preston S. Brooks, which has
thus been relatedi Wigfall and Brooks
both lived in Edgefield, S. 0. Wigfall took
tftfibrage at a political card published in one
~"T the newspapers, and finding that White-
bid Brooks Was the author of It, chal-
_jflged him. Brooks, the father of Preston,
was an old man, aud ho paid no attention
to the challenge, whereupon Wigfall wrote
him a notice branding him as a toward, and
Sosted it on the ador of the court-house,
hangellor Carroll, a friend of both men,
saw the notice and said he would tear it
flown, when Wigfall replied: "Do it, and I
will shoot you." Friends Interfered, but a
duel was arranged to take place the next
Iporning. A few moments later Wigfall
fttw Toftj Byrd, a young lawyer, in the act
Of tearing down the notice, and or-
dered him to desist or he would shoot him.
"I reckon two can play at that game," said
Byrd, as he tore the paper from the door.
(Those werehis last trords. Wigfall shot him
through the heart Byrd was a promising
younfcf man, and the shooting was regarded
as a most unfortunate occurrence, but Wig-
fair was acquitted of blame. The next
mornlqg he and Carroll faced each other at
ten paces, pistols in hand. Tho word was
given, tl}f) reports wore Instantaneous, and
Doth men—missed. The seconds inter-
posed, and as Wigfall and Carroll had been
warm friends they shook hands and entered
the saifie carriage to ride to Hamburg. On
the way they mot Brooks, who had beon ab-
sent, and having returned thatmdrnlng had
ftist beard of Wigfall's notice posting his
titfter as a coward. He was furious and
demanded Immediate satisfaction, which
the fiery Wigfall was ready enough to
grjlnt. The party immediately returned to
the scene 6f the previous duel, and Brooks
J ind Wigfall took their places, Carroll act-
rig as second for his antagonist of the
mornlb#. Both combatants fell at the first
Are, both so desperately wounded that a
second exchange of shots could not be had,
although It had been agreed that it should
be a duel to the death. Both men recovered
and the feud died oQt, but the principals
never became friends.
sunday at the faib.
Entertaining the Victoria Rifles—Lively
Scenes at Harmony Hall.
The feature of tho fair at Harmony hal!
yesterday was tho ontertainment extended
to tho Victoria Rifles by Mr. A. Levi of
Victoria. The ladles decorated their tables
with lovely flowers and at each plate was
I(laced a tasteful boutonneire. A magnif-
cent music box belonging to one of Gal-
veston's most prominent citizens dis-
coursed sweet music while the soldier lad-
dies were being served. The cool broezos
admitted by the many large windows of
the hall caused the festcouiugs and drape-
ries to wave gently as if in accord with the
goft music and the subdued but animated
conversation.
A large number of citizens brought their
familios to the dinner, and the ladies were
as busy as possible waiting on their mili-
tary and civic patrons from 12 m. to 4 p. m.
The wine card was "hit hard," as one sol-
dier expressed it.
The Rifles became very enthusiastio over
the sword and became firmer than over in
their resolve that their beloved leader
should havo it. They made up a heavy
purso to elect him and they expect every
friend of Victoria and gallant men to sup-
port their chief. A number of their friends
called upon them at the fair and none of
them went away without leaving a bank
bill to be voted on Job Sheppanl as soon as
the polls opened on Monday night. Mes-
sages were sent to Victoria for help and the
boys say they will get there with both feet
or break a trace.
To-day the fair will open at 11 a. m. and
continue until 11 p. m. Dinner will bo
served from the boginning to the end, and
guests of the restaurant will be as priv-
ileged as were refugees of old in the sanc-
tuaries.
To-night the colored Kid Zouaves who
perform in the Fall of Paris will give an
exhibition drill and danco on the stage at
the fair. Their services were ldudly ten-
dered by the management of the Fall of
Pari3. The guests of thoffair will doubtless
enjoy the performance, which will bo free.
The polls will open at 8 p. in.

TBE STATE PRESS.
What the Papers Throughout Texas Aro
Talking About.
Tho Rockdale Messenger sees bickerings
where none really exist. It says:
The two cities of Fort Worth and Galves-
ton, though over 300 miles apart, can not
dwell in harmony. Dallas and Fort Worth,
though only thirty-five miles apart, seem
to livo more harmoniously than the rail-
1 road center aud the seaport. The Fort
Worth Gazette gets Into a pet over a re-
mark made by a local evening paper In
Galveston and proceeds to empty tbo phials
of its wrath on Uip future grjjit seaport,
saying: " 'Tvras ever tbfts'Tt Is to every-
thing Galveston or nothing with their in-
terior branches." It Seems fcoip thlst^al
whenever Snf paper published In this
Intsf'Sr of Texas ftjid. pel-haps, la a
territory that is tributary to Galveai
ton, says anything luvorable to
that city it is at once put down as a branch
of Galveston. This is both wfikltTd aad un-
just, and shows a spirit of rivalry, If not
viudictiveness, that is not becQrtlmst in a
paper that professes to be as liberal and
cosmopolitan as the Gazette. Tt*e papers
in tho interior of Texas are more Interested
In the general welfare of the state thauin
any particular city, excepting, of course,
their home towns. As the state develops
so will the cities grow, and when the state
becomes a manufacturing one cities of met-
ropolitan proportions will jyow up and
Fort Worth and Galveston will both be-
come great. It should never be lost sight
of that there Is plenty of room, and to
spare, too, in Texas for all the cities now in
the state and tiiany mole, therefore thero is
no occasion for one place to be jealous of
another.
The Messenger's remarks are true and
sensible; but Galveston has always had the
most friendly feeling toward the other city
named. There is no possible conflict of
interests between the two cities.
The San Antonio Light equals a Taylor
cotton press iu the way it copdenses news.
It reduces things to their quintessence.
The Gonzales Inquirer says:
The Gaj,ve8T<m News' semi-centennial
special edition of Tuesday was an elegant
paper. It contained a splendid write-up of
the city from its first day up to the present.
The Gate fiity says:
Ther§ lies ou our editorial table a copy
of a Spanish periodical published lb La-
redo. it is a two-columu folio about 5j{0
inches in size and contains a ghorteaLtofial,
a piece of poetry and perhaps a dos;en or
more lines of local news. This paper sells
for 5 cents and the income received from its
publication is the support of fts editor and
his family. Such is the oharpi of tlie news-
paper life that many a r.iitn Is willing to
live In rodnoed circumstances io order to
let the public be acqualnte4 with what be
knows or does not know rather than pur-
sue some other profession or business from
which there is mora remunerative returns
and less publicity.
The Bryan Pilot gives a long report of
the commencement exercises at the Agri-
cultural and Mechanical college, the "work
shops, farms, creamery and all In full
operation by students:"
The students' field, planted and cultivat-
ed-entirely by members of the fourth class,
was a model of neatness, and showed the
comparative advantages of some five or six
different series of varieties. The farm
crops, while by no means equalling those of
the Brazos bottom, still were in fine condi-
tion and showed careful cultivation.
The Times says:
The spirit of progress continues in Lare-
do, ana it would be difficult to estimate the
handsome buildings that wjll be erected
here between now and fall; at the imme-
diate time a fine bank building on Jarvis
plaza, on the opposite corner from the new
hotel, is the most important.
The Austin Statesman says:
Democratic editors who criticise and con-
demn the trust law passed by the Twenty-
first legislature of Texas have certainly
forgotten the resolution on that subject
unanimously adopted by the g$ate demo-
cratic convention at Dallas last August. It
was a part 6f the democratic platform, and
upon which every democratic nominee in
the state stood during the last canvass, and
a democratic legislature would nave been
faithless to its pledges If it bud failed to
enact such a law.
The San Antonio Express says:
The number of distinguishedTexaps will-
ing to sacrifice themselves Upon tho guber-
natorial altar is on the wax. The chances
of the incontrollable warriors who propose
ty slay the hydra-headed monopolies and
soulless corporations are on the wane.
The tumultuous silence in that portion
of the brush where Mr. Terrell has staked
out his mule Is an ihdication of prepara-
tion. The animal Is gathering wind.
The Willis Index says:
Tuesday's Issue of THB Galveston News
contained an excellent and interesting his-
torical write up Of the Island city, which is
replete with new and authentic informa-
tion concerning the early history of that,
important little island.
The San Antonio Times aays:
The International Fair association man-
agement are not idle. Their plans are being
carefully laid, and tho result in November
will evidence their foresight and ability.
The programme thus far outlined can not
fall to attfafit thousands and tens of thou-
sands of visitors to San Antonio, each and
overy one of whom in turn will become a
missionary to sing her praises andproclaim
her greatness. The International Fair asso-
ciation is a fixed Institution of San An-
tonio, and not by ai# means the least po-
tent'factor to advertise her advantages and
set forth her claims.
The Laredo Times of Thursday says:
Colonel W. L. Thompson, special cus-
toms agent of the El Paso district, arrived
in Laredo last evening from the City of
Mexico. Colonel Thompson was one of the
committee of three who were sent by the
treasury department at Washington to in-
vestigate the manuer of shipping ores from
Mexico to smelters in the United States.
The three gentlerfien visited the Zacatecas,
Sierra Mojaila and other mining districts,
and will matte their written report to the
department at Washington. Colonel
Thompson expresses th6 belief that
the secretary of the treasury will
take no hasty action in the matter
and that the subject will likely be brought
before the next session of congress. He also
expresses the opinion that with restrictions
thrown upon the importations of ores from
Mexico into this country, such as are sup-
posed to be contemplated, tho trade of this
frontier would bo almost ruined, and that
J5urope would get a still stronger hold upon
the commerce of Mexico to the detrimentof
the United States. The committee wero
sent simply to obtain the facts in tbo
premises, and their reports will no} be pub-
lished until the secretary of the treasury
sees proper to place them in tho hands of
the press.
The Edna Progress reports fine prospects
for crops:
The Walker County Courier says:
Americans surpass all other inhabitants
of tlie planet in many things, and among
the rest is taking physic. A f;ict which
vividly illustrates their splendid capacities
in this Held of human endurance is stated
In reports concerning a law-suit Involving
the estate of tho lato Demas Barnes of
Brooklyn, Now York. Mr. Barnes sold pat-
ent medicines for a living, and it appears
that he left a fdrtune of £11,000,000. It 13
enough to make tho bowels of the nation
yearn to think of the rivers of physic that
in list have Inundated them before this huge
pile was accumulated.
This Is but a single instance. The patent
medicine craze is almost as great an evil as
intemperance.
The Hillsboro Reflector reflects as fol-
lows^
The cheap wood cut pictures gotten up
by the Confederate home beggars of Austin
for use in their begging scheme in the
north aro being reproduced iu the patent
outsldee of some of the Texas papers. They
embrace the principal managers of tho
scheme apd also a poor likeness of Governor
Ross, and the latter would have good
grounds for libel proceedings against the
publisher.
The Bugle says of Bandera county:
> This county is singular in the substantial
and well built residences on farms and
ranches. Nowhere else will the traveler
find better imprpvements In dwellings,
barns, fences aud stock pens.
The Christian Messenger says:
Brother Joe Harding bas sold bis pos-
sessions in West Dallas for 514,000, and will
remove to lifownwood, Tex. Sometime
he bought a patch of pecan buahsg and red
bud sprouts in-Trinity bottom and laid Off
a tofn. Now he has sold it for a small

Seme other preachers can raise as much
sheol in Dallas as tha Half Acre In Fort
Worth.
The liberty Vindicator Is free to say:
The News surely has master artists on its
reportorial staff, especially for tho semi-
centennial occasion. Its first day's report
is splendid, and its opening, or prelude, is
charmingly beautiful. It rtj^ds like a ro-
mance. A large and most liberal patrona"ge
has made Tub News gt&at, and The News
has done much tp make T^xas what she
is. Ah, The Ne^Vs is a grand paper—it's
the pride of all Ttfias.
Tho Livingston Pinery does not repine at
the rwe'tn sugar, It says:
Every time sugar advances in price the
Pinery thanks God and takes courage; wish
it was 50 cants a pound. Iu a country
where ribbon cane grows equal to that of
the celebrated sugar lands of Louisiana and
not enough syrup made to ijupply home
consumption. Let her'keep going ud.
The Nacogdoches Sun wants newspapers
to shine:
As ^ class the eountry papers of Texas are
far superior to thosS Of any other southern
state, but at the same time a few alleged
■papers published in this dtats are a disgrace
to journalism. A man shonld he ashamed
to send abroad a sheet that had the appear-
ance of being set up in shingle nails and
printed on a cheese press. If you have not
sufficient brains or money to get out a re-
spectable appearing paper keep out of tho
business.
The Rusk County News says:
The Spring paljdb at Fort Wtlrth opened
on the 29th ultimo ud(|er tbo most favora-
ble ausplcfts, wit# a splendid cfowd-in at-
tendance. Some of the displays are said to
beautify I befond description. The large
number of visitors from other states will
go away raorj than eVer Impressed that
Toxas Is the grandest state in tho tmi'on,
and they are compelled to see also that her
vajjt resources are Only just beginning to' be
develbped.
The Beevllfc pee says':
Tho Victoria Review extra Is the best edi-
tion yet published of a country paper in
this section. There arq notable evidences of
enterprise iu the towns in southwest Texas.
Victoria has street cars, waterworks and
electric lights; Goliad is building a tele-
phone to Refugio, thirty miles away; a 150,-
000 hotel bas bden just opened at Roekport;
Corpds Chrlsti lias interested a company
with M,000,000 capital to make it a health
report, and Beeviile is offering inducements
for a $175,000 lnsapo Mylum, and tho citi-
zens have a $20,000 college on the tapis.
The Bosque Citizen calls it the karporama
and says:
Aipong tho
well in ^rn"
curiosities, _
tobacco. Its grasses and tablet attract uni-
versal admiration. A. man can learn more
about Texas her^ in one day than he can in
three months travel through tbo state.
The Dallas Mercury potes the exception:
"All things come to bim who Waits," ex-
cept the Mercury, if your time has expired.
Tho Merciiry says:
The issue of the Dallas Morthko Nkws
of Sunday last was in itself undisputed ev-
idence of tho greatness of Dallas, aud The
News manages to keep pace with our city.
Hence The News is a great paper.
The interior papers b&gln to print long
and interesting accounts of the exercises
at the closing of tho terms of schools and col-
leges. Texas is greatly interested in educa-
tion. The seed 4bWn by the foijpders of the
government is bearing g<5od fru'it.
The Austin Statesman remarks:
The Fort Worth Gazette tells only half
the trutn when it says: A few mouths ago
the railroads of TeSas appealed to the peo-
ple of the state for fairness and justice.
Now, the people appeal to the railroads for
fairness, ai\d the answer of the roads is a
four-day tieket, sold two days in the week.
Soon again it may be the turn of the roads
to appeal to the people—and we must wait
until then to see the answer of the people.
A bummer. The Lockhart Register wants
Hogg for governor. It says:
Hogg at the bead of affairs would make
things hum.
The Brenham Banner says:
On Tuesday morning, the day of the open-
ing of the Galveston semi-cennial celebra-
tion, The News published a history of the
city, embracing important event's from the
beginning oi its oxlsteflbe lip to the preseht
time. A great deal of the informatiofi con-
tained in it is valuable to the state at large.
Captain B. L. Phillips, assessor of Bra-
zoria county, furnishes the Old Capitol the
following as the school census just com-
pleted: Colored, 3253: white, 774; total 4027.
Colored has a majority of 2489. Under
the sway of the white race before the war
Brazoria was the wealthiest and most pros-
perous county in tho state acoording to
population. Now it is one of the poorest.
The Old Capital says:
Quintana is steadily improving aud is
just now the metropolis of Brazoria coitljty.
It Will boast in the future sumpier palaces
of the nabobs of the Southwest, and the
fame of the silver beach spread far and
wide. Quintana will proudly perpetuate
the name of Don Andres through tho re-
motest posterity. It is well.
The Fort Worth Mail grows green with
jealousy and exclaims:
Poor old Galveston 1 It is a pity that there
are not more men and feWer skeletons above
ground there.
The El Paso Herald of June 5 says:
The El Paso Foundry company are doing
a good business. They shipped yesterday
a large number of small and large castings
to the Cibolo Mill and Mining company in
Presidio county, and received orders on tho
day beforo for four tons of castings from the
same company, who are thol'pugbry satis-
fled with the work. The foundry company
ship their product as far south as Zacatecas,
and recently filled some large orders at
Jimenez and Mapiml.
The Jasper News Boy says:
A circular has been received from J. A.
Caplen of Galveston offering crpportanities
for all who desire to take stock in a factory
for the making of woodenware and imple-
ments from the hard wood growing on the
tributaries of Galveston bay. While peo-
ple of this section will hardly be expected
to invest in that particular enterprise it is
strong evidence that the time is
ripe for our people to organize just®
such an enterprise to work the inex-
haustible supplies of this timber
on the Neches and Sabine. Orange and
Beaumont are the places we would natur-
ally look to as sites for the factories. In
tho vicinity of this place Is a hundred
square miles of the greatest variety and
finest quality of hard wood in tho world.
Many factories can be supphod with mate-
rial for generations with the timber con-
tained in tbo triangle formed by tha roads
to Morris' Ferry and Town Bluff.
The Newsboy says:
The Galveston News has fifteen and a
half columns crammed full of a report of the
growing crops. Those who desire to fore-
cast probabilities can not find a better
source of information.
The Sail Angelo Enterpiise says:
The Galveston News of the 4th contains
an elaborate and concise history of that city
frc«n its earliest settlement to date.
The Enterprise of June 7 says:
At a meeting of the San Angelo siiyer
cornet band Monday evening, it was re-
solved to attend the Galveston drill and the
Fort Worth Jspring palace. The band will
give a graud ball at the court house next
Monday night and will leave for Galveston
Tuesday morning. After showing the Is-
land CJty what kind of music San Angelo
gets up, the band will proceed'to the spring
palace and add one more leather to the cap
of Tom Green county as the banner county
of the southwest.
Among the geological treasures of Tom
Green county are a- ffue quality of building
stone, gome of wbicb is being shipped to
Galveston, and iron ore.
The Cq Id well Chronicle says:
The Qalvca Um semi-canlennlal com-
mence tl last Tuesday, with thousands la at-
tendance, and Diae fair to eclipse all pre-
vious celebrations in that city.
The Uvalde New* aays:
The San Antonio Fair association are at
work preparing far the fair in £he mil. The
only thing which will prevent its success is
weather similar to that of last year.
The San Antonio Express says, with mag-
nanimity and grace:
^he people of Galveston are heartily con-
gratulated upon the detainment of the
wool exchapgo. It will be of great ad-
vantage to them hi their wool trade, and
tbey deserve It because they have worKed
for it.
Tho Crockett Economist says:
Tho semi-centennial edition of Thb GAIr
veston News, June 4, furnishes its readers
with a most interesting sketch of Galves-
ton's history. This will be highly interest-
ing to its readers, and especially so to every
Texan, and should be preserved for future
reference.
