Reports.
We have heard, in the past few days,
many reports and rurnors that would
be hard even for the reliable gentlemen
l.'beves in every sensational rumor,
. slow. Some say that so-and-se
a bll done, that this or that is the
y and in fact, mentioning.Che most
hard things that is said.bj.'omebody
I o hac hapfpened.
SAe do not believe in any. of these
SnVtIISonal stories. They are got up
lor the purpose of "benefit" to tho-party
propagating them.; they are for his own
aggrandizement, and -we caution every
One to receive rumors or reports with
imany grains of allowance,
This was the case on Wednesday
night last, to which we briefly alluded
in our last issue. A report was brought
into our town that the enemy were at
Poplar Springs-every one in the con
inunity, knowing where our Poplar
Spring was located-about 9 miles
:fron Winnsboro,-camae to the conclu.
sion that the enemy were again upon its,
Iut it turns out now, after a time for re.
Ilection, and the reports of worthy per.
sons having been received, that the ore
my u'cre at Poplar Springs, but, tie
Poplar Springs in the neighborhood of
* Sumter, S. 0.
Thus it is. A report is heard of one
thting, and in order to give as mnch self
importance . to its second retailer as is
possible, it receives a thorough coating
over to make it more re li-able. Wher
will these nny rumors cease? Al:
should receive everything they hear,
that is the leaqt sensational, with doubt
and frown down upon every oue found
giving publicity to such reports. They
I-neanl no good to the Soith, ind none tc
the conmunity in which they reside.
