The St. Matthews correspondent of The News and Courier says news reached that town Tuesday of a pe culiar automobile accident several days ago, in which a fine horse of Mr. George H. Carson, near Lone Star, was killed. It waB a new ma chine, or 1*8 way to Elloree, and run ning at a good clip on the Santee River public road from Fort Motte. The horse was under the saddle and clear of the road, but took fright at the wrong moment, balked across the road and was ploughed into by the machine. It suffered greatly be fore it died. The machine was slightly damaged, but the rider es caped unhurt. St. Matthews Won.

Rain clouds have been visible for the last several days in every direc tion and we hope that every section that needed rain has been visited b> refreshing showers. Very little rain has fallen in the last ten days In this city and immediate vicinity, but we can grin and bear it If the farms throughout the county have been re freshed by copious showers. WRITES OF ARMY LIFE . ? LIEUTENANT POOSER'S IMPRES SIONS OF MILITARY LIFE. Camp at San Antonio Covers Ten Square Miles?No Fever or Dis order Allowed. Co. D., 18th Infantry, San Anton io, Tex.?There is stationed at this point?or Army Post?about Twelve Thousand Regular Soldiers, probably the flower of Uncle Sam's Army. The camp sight is located, possibly two or three miles from the city of San Antonio. The sights are magr nlficent. Standing on an elevation, one can take a bird's eye view of the entire camp. Nothing to obstruct the view. Nothing but tents, bar racks, corrals, etc. The area cover ed by the camp includes, I would think, estimating roughly, about five to 10 square miles. Drill grounds are the finest I have ever seen. No stumps, trees, depression or any thing to interfere; Blmply long, broad stretches of level land. A reg iment drilling here has more room and moves easier than a single com pany at any maneuvering ground 1 have ever attended. But my, It is hot, dry.and dusty; no dews or moisture of any sort. It has not rained for a long while, I understand, and rain is not expecteo. at an early -date. ?One thing* about conditions here, is worth while noting, and that is the health of the men in camp. No city contains a population, as much as the number of soldiers here, caT> possibly boast of anything like it. No sickness scarcely at all. The Surgeon reports, I think, one single caBe of typhoid fever in one of the regiments out of the twelve. This ig remarkable to say the least. Strict discipline and adherence to sanitary rules and regulations, to gether with a dry climate is respon sible for this. Upon the whole area covering the camp?miles of ground ?a mud hole or a dirt pile of any sort is unknown. The result is. we have here a robust, strapping, hearty set of soldiers that are a pride of our great country. I have been through every kitchen in this, the 18th regiment. No housewife at home In old Orangeburg, could pos sibly have things neater or tidier. AH slops, refuse, etc., is burned in the company Jnclmerators and every kitchen is entirely and competely screened. The same way up at the Division bakery. Ten thousand mouths are fed each day, three times, as regular as clock work, on the finest, brownest, well-cooked bread, made at this bakery. Twelve regu lar steel ovens are used, besides there are a number of Dutch ovens. I find that the cooking and the general ration itt far superior to what the volunteer army had during the Spanish-American War. There are so much more of it, and it is cook ed so much better and kept sweeter. Of course, conditions are different and warrants the improvement over the Volunteer service. The impression exists throughout the country to the effect that the en listed man in the regular service, is abused, misused and mistreate , does not prove itself out here. I am thrown with men and officers every day and the treatment is excellent. What officers I have seen, are re spectable, kind and gentlemanly. I have heard more abuse, cursing and fighting and disorder in ose night at some of our National Guard en campments, where we. have only about 500 men, than I have heard here. Every now and then we find a slouchy, mean fellow that does not hold himself up, who is kept In the guard tent, mostly and whose pres ence among the more respctable ele ment would be unpleasant. The rank and file of the nrmy here is com posed of neat, well clad and well fed young men. They hold up their heads and step along like there Is a future ahead of them. What Mexicans I have seen, and there are a great number around? have not Impressed me favorably. I understand there is a much better class that we do not see v^ry much of. These I have seen are princi pally the laboring class and are com posed of a poorer quality. One thing I want to say before I forget it, and that is in reference to the women folks of San Antonio. They are fine looking, most of them, to say the least. Even our Colonel, from Charleston, who is middle aged, comes to a dead halt at times and turns around to look at some pass ing Venus. All the (people here, generally speaking, are a healthy set. In conclusion, I will state, that while Texas has all sorts of advan tages that possibly some other sec tions htven't. Still, I argue and maintain, that there is no place like dear old South Carolina and that to me, good old Orangeburg is dearer and sweeter than any other earthly place. F. F. P. Redeems Her Pledge. A dispatch from St. Matthews to The State says: "Bids for the $20,000 issue of bonds by the town of St. Matthews were opened by the town council at 12 o'clock Wednesday as advertised. A number of attractive offers were made. However, it was the good luck of Charleston to car ry off the plum, R. M. iVarshall & Biro, of that city being tho success ful bidders. The price paid wain $20. 425. The people of St. Matthews are naturally very proud that these bonds have been sold and that their prom ise to the citizens of the county has been kept."

Salley writes as fol lows concerning constables in this county: "About the whiskey question in this county. I have worked in every way and so have our de tectives and we find it almost im possible to get witnesses to testify. Mosv. of the sale of whiskey Is done by negroes who .get it by express and from Columbia and Salleytown by going for it. They are called pocket tigers here. We got one fel low a day or two ago but could not prove that he sold any. The magis trate turned him loose and gave hiira his whiskey.
