The sad but not unexpected news was received from Columbia. S. C, yester day at noon of the death in that city of Mr. Hugh Lee Miller, who was a weU known and popular resident of Wilmington prior to his removal to South Carolina. He died of tubercu losis of the throat. Mr. Miller was born in Goldsboro. N. C. and was in the 32nd year of his age. He received his early education in the Goldsboro graded schools, entered the University of North Carolina in 1SSG and was graduated In 1830 with honors. taking a post-grad uate course in chem istry the following year. After leaving Chapsl Hill he was ap pointed assistant Droressor of chemistrv and professor of physics in the Agricul tural and Mechanical college at Ra leigh, which position he filled with much ability for nearly two years. He then accepted the position of chemist with the Navassa Guano Company of this city and until 1833 remained with them in that capacity and as salesman and superintendent. When the war broke out between the United States and Spam in the spring of 1898. Mr. Miller wa3 ensien of Wil mlngton Division, North Carolina Na val Battalion- He did not believe merely in playing soMier In time, of peace and then retiring in the time of peril to his country, but with the con scientiousness indicative of the brave and true man. re resigned nis posi tion with the Navassa Guano Company and volunteered in the United States service as a member ol the North Car olina Naval Battalion. He was ap pointed ensign and served with the re serves on tne united States monitor Nantucket, holding his commission as ensign until the close of the war. Returning to Wilmington in the fall of 1898. Mr. Miller resumed his connec tion with the Navassa Company and upon its consolidation with the Virginia-Carolina Chemical Company, he was appointed division manager of the manufacturing department, interior di vision of South Carolina, with head quarters at Charleston. After a fewj months' residence In Charleston hi? health failed, and having been granted several months leave of absence, he made an extensive trip through Mex ico and southern California to recuper ate. On his return to Wilmington In 1900, he removed to Columbia and in the fol lowing April, was married to Miss Purden Smith, of York. Pa. The sum mer was spent by them in Aasheville but . the climate not being altogether suitable to Mr. Miller's health, they re turned to Columbia. It was at this time that he began to fall rapidly and in the hope that he mhiht recover, his company voluntarily extended him a second absence of indefinite length and he and Mrs. Miller had expected to leave for southern California in a few days when death overtook him. Mr. Miller was one t the most popu lar young men In Wilmington and dur ing his residence here made many warm personal friends to whom his death is a great shock. While his friends knew of his condition yet they had strong hopes for his ultimate re. covery. and were not prepared for the sad news received yesterday. He wa a genial, true, manly oung man and was most companionable and attrac tive to those who knew him best. His remains will be taken to his old home at Goldsboro where he is survived by his father. Dr. John F. Miller, four brothers and three sisters ms mother having died last summer. To them and to his widow, is extended the ueep- est sympathies of his many warm friends and old associates.

C, where he held the position of oivlsion manager of the Virginia-Carolina Chemical Company for Interior South Carolina. His father was en route to his bedside but did not reach there In time to see his son alive. Hugh Miller was one I of the brightest young men this city or state has produced.

Tnese are the two beliefs, and r that first time In the lone aro whon a schoolboy discovered the properties of the now famous mint, this controversv has been waged. Many are the stories of the discovers but the only authentic one is voucned ror Dy nan a dozen old Southerners who know whereof they speak. N wear an old school house in VInrir.Ia was a famous sDrine.

The name of the school was liip and hound." When the would come In hot and tired they a: ways rushed for the cool spring. The am ones mere, or course, had to wait until the others were through drlnkinc. There was one youngster not so fast as the rest, but with a better head. He always went leisurely to another spring not so gooa. Dut where he could drink undisturbed. Finally the teacher noticed the lad's action and asked: Tom. why Is It you go to that t frinir right out in the open where the water s hot. Instead of to the cool one under the willows?" It all tastes the same to me." an swered the boy. "That is impossible." said the teacher. The lad flushed up. "Well, I reckon drink it." he said. "I oughter I jest got some grass from around that spring under the trees and eat It and then the water out In the sun tastes lust as cool as that In the shae. If you don't believe it, just try it." His teacher did try and found what the lad said was true. And that was he discovery of the mint, for such was the "crass" about the shaded soiug. The teacher figured that by putting some of the cool weed in his whisky and water the decoction would be cool. The smell of the plant was also pleas ant to his nostrils. That teacher is said to have been Col. Abe Carter, one of the famous Virginia Carters, and to whom properly belongs the honor of having discovered, by ac cident, the mint julep. The name of the boy to whom the credit really be- ongs has been lost in oblivion. A reporter athirst for Information started out to make the rounds m an endeavor to discover for himself jus: what constitutes the perfect Juiep. First he sought the old Virginia colonel. With that courtliness which cannot now be duplicated, the old cavalier welcom ed his guest. "Come right in, my son. A julep, you say? Of course." Rais ing his voice, he called: "Caesar," The old body servant appeared. "Caesar, some mint and cracked Ice." Now, my boy, don't say you just wanted know how. That Is impossible. Watch, drink and be wise." "Watch." said the Colonel. Into the glass he poured a measure of water, just an ounce, no more, no less. Then he refilled the measure with whiskey, guaranteed to be 20 years old "Just smell that, my boy," he said. lovingly. "Not a headache Is the bar rel." He poured the ounce of whiskey upon the ounce of water and then mingled. From the mint on the water their lloat ed that Indescribable odor that the oM colonel believes slipped out one day through the narrow gate of Paradise when St. Peter had his back turn-o. Now the old cavalier measured out just a dram of pure syrup and poured it in to the whiskey and water. Next he dropped in the cracked ice, and then hi put in the mint so that not a leaf was bruised. Swiftly he held it towards his guest. "Quick, quick, my boy; drink it be fore the ice melting spoils the propor-, tions of the mixture. The reporter buried his nose in that bunch of mint and it was very, very good. When the glass came down there was one young man who felt that life was not all In vain. "That's the secret," said the colonel. Tt must be drank, not sipped. Five minutes, even three minutes, ruins It. Fresh mint, old whiskey, pure syrup and pure water, then drink it right away." "I remember," he went on, "when the G. A. R. was here an old frnnd brought hal a dozen of them up to see me. xou know l was never a very ar dent G. A. R.. man. so I did not know what to do with them. I proposed a mint Julep. They had never heard of one. I did not know how they would ike It but I trusted to the mint. hey drank around, and then one fellow ask ed, hesitatingly, if It would be with- n the laws of courtesy, be would une to try another. You should have sen their faces when I said yes." The colonel paused. "How did it end?" asked the reporter. "Well." said the colonel, "when they went away some of them wanted to run me for president, and their old ool ncl took me aside to tell me in connaence that if the confederates had brought mint Juleps against them Instead or guns the whole a a union ixrsujr would have surrendered on the spot ior a taste.' "It's a natural taste, one a fellow can't get away from. I wish, thugn. some fellow would Invent a douoie cup. the outside one to hold the ice. Thsn a rrentleman could siD his Julep. "Some people you know wont give a beginner more than one julep. That s wrong, for it's a natural taste, and ih more you give them the better they like t. But. my boy, remember tne mint must be iresh." The seeker for Julep knowledge next hunted up a deciple of the more mod ern school. This gentleman, an ex- F:ough Rider, was in his flat with a frosted silver mug beside him. He said not a word in greeting, but arose, beaming silently, and got another mug. The reporter took observations. Tm of the new school." said the ex Rough Rider, "so watch me.

While he was talking he had slipped to the Ice box and brought out a hand ftj of mint. "naif an hour from the bed." he said Then miickly he crushed several stalks nd put them In the bottom of the mug. He put In about an ounce of water. DO YOU SHOOT?
