TH MA1ThIflM TIYES.: WEDNESDAY, APRIL 20. 1887. B.S. DINKINS, Editor. Senator Youmans, of Barnwell, is out again in Monday's .\ a/ ('ou rier in repgy to Captain B. R. Tillinan's last article attacking the opposition side of the late Senate to the farmer's agricultural bill, proper. Senator Youmans writes with cutting logic. So does Captain Tillman, whose coin monplace and almost comical illustra tions and comparisons hit hard and square. The primary point at issue between them, "The Farmer's Move ment," is a subject which at one time excited the whole State, and created considerable animus among certain individuals, and even communities. It is a pleasure to note that this ill-will entertained by neighbor against neighbor, is fast being obliterated, and men are beginning to look dispassion ately, with a practical sensible eye on this important question. This is well and as it should be, and the only fuel remaining to keep smouldering this once rabid flame, is the acrimonious K discussion in question. No good can 1 come out of the further prosecution of this personal controversy; the T-mrs likely voices the sentiment of the best people of the State in expressing the hope that neither Senator Youmans or Captain Tillman will appear in print again on this subject, for at least long time. A spirit of good-will, peace, and'] tarmony should be nursed and nou ished throughout the State now and -for the next two years. It is impera live that issues that may have arisen inthe Democratic party of the State in the past year, should be buried and kept dormant until after the next Presidential election. Anything cal culated to bring about dissatisfaction or disunion, should be shunned as al viper. Shoulder to shoulder, in per feet unison, the whole Party must stand, and stand like a "Stonewall" until the trying season of next year is -ver. Senator Youmans' article will appear next weeL The Panola and Summertonites are still contentious over the route of the Eutawville Railroad to Sumter. From communications of correspondents representing the Panola section, it is conceded that the iron rails will be -laid in a mile of Summerton. This is not agreed to by the latter, who s till assert in a sanguine spirit, that Sum merton will be on the direct line. An editorial article in the TDIS some mweks ago on this subject, was the cause of the editor being sharply crit icised on his statement of facts. The Panolaites declare in positive terms their innocense of anv too much in dulgence in the "wee drap," and as aert most emphatically that the Rail -road representatives declared their in-1 tention of going to Summerton for the 'eak and wine," instead of Panola as stated. "Friday," for Summerton, in ~dignantly throws this back in the teeth of Panola, and accused the edi itor of offending somebody. That im portant, (in his own happy conceit)' personage deplores, laments, and pullsi his hair in abject wretchedness in his, unfortunate condition. Offend some * body! Of all things in the world anh editor of a country newspaper prays most to be delivered from, is giving onse. Mad with the editor! It' can't be so. Verily, he would rather never have been born. Good people ..of Panola, Summerton, mercy comes from Heaven. Let it enter your hearts And permit in your gracious generosi ty, the editor to make amends by promzsing in the future never more to be guilty of such a horrible deed. He wishes you all well. From the depth . of his contritous heart, he wishes eve try man in both sections may have aI .great big railroad running by his -door, and a free pass in his pocket tol go wherever he listeth. At the military election held recent ly in the 4th Regiment of South Caro lina Volunteer Infantry, Captain Don ald J. Auld, of Sumter, and Mr. Geo. 'W. Brown, of Darlington, were elect ed lieutenant-colonel and major of the regiment without opposition. This regiment consists of the Kershaw Guards, Manning Guard, Florence Rifles, and the Sumter Light infantry. The Cheraw Guards also belong~ to this command, but the company is at present disbanded. An effort will be made to resuscitate it. Colonel Auld, who is, by the way, an old Charleston ;nan, has appointed Dr. Green, of! Darlington, as surgeon and Mr. Law sens Carson, of Sumter, as adjutant of the regiment. Mr. Carson is a grad-1 sate of the Citidel of the class of 1886.1I Messrs. C. A.

PANOLA CHiT iCIAT. Paou, April 11th, 1887. Mi. EnIron : If agreeable I wi: give an account of a recent visit to im dear old hue in Orangeburg Count I was enabled to see many of my oh associates and to recall many recollec tions of boy-hood days. It has zlway been a source of gratifcation to thin] and speak of home as it was. thoug] years have intervened since I left tha home. Here among lkinsmen an friends of the long ago, makes me fee sad; then, too, I rejoice. How chang ed in thirty years. Death has beci here and done its fearful work. Friend have died and .we behold their face; no more and cannot see them 'till w< pass beyond the river. It was a source of religious confor to worship on Sunday at one of th< oldest Baptist churches within in' knowledge- (Antioch). The pastor Rev. Mr. Norris, preached an abli sermon. 'I he subject matter of his el oquent discourse was that of "Jacob': Ladder." At this church rests the re mains of my beloved father and affee tionate inother. Easter picnics have always beet held in high esteem with all classes ii Orangeburg county from my earlies recollection to the present day. Ycun, and old enjoy this ancient festival. I is a bright hallelujah; eggs are dyet and colored in all shades; purple pink. blue, every style of beauty tha would add lustre to the joys of the oc casion. At Parlors, a station on the Eutaw ville Railroad, on Saturday, over tw( hundred dozen eggs were broken. Th< day from early morn was spent ii egg breakin, but a richer harvest wa: in store for the night: one of thos< laughable and much to be enjoyed en tertainments of the stage which provei so successful that I have been tempt ed to give your readers a synopsis This entertainment was gotten up by the citizens of the community, th< proceeds to go to furnishing a uniforn for the Elloree Base Ball Club. The ladies connected -,:h this troupe ar( young and beanuitul and would ad6 charms to the stage in theatrical life A charade aeed by Misses Moorer Felder, and Hydriek was so brilliani and charming, they were greeted witi vociferous applause. The Elloree Base Ball Club is 6tting themselves for a summer campaign They are well-known to the Clarendon boys; on two occasions they out-seored the Panolas, and are anxious for an other frav. The business outlook of this sectior of the county since the building oJ this railroad, is evidenced by the pros perity of the people; but here and there you meet one whose opposition is loud in saying that rail roads are r curse to any people. Elloree, or Har 1em City as it is now cfalled, is the t arminus ef the Eutawville Railroad. This is a gr-owing village and it is lik lv to be one of the prettiest places in OJrangeburg County. Rev. W. J. Sni der, a Baptist minister, is a large plan ter as well as a large merchant. He was instrumental in getting the roadl built to this point. A young man starting business either as a lawyer 01 mercbant would do well to locate at Harlem City. Mr. Editor: I really ought to offer an apology for my cruel tr-eatmnent of my Summwerton friends. I did not mean to cast any reflection in my last report about the "whiskey business.' Verily, the sight of my teeth had a most wonderful effect. "Fr-iday' drunk!!

A~ - pl.t A.fa t Jackson's Dael With Dickinson. In a paper in the Southern BiConae for April, the following conversation between General Harding and Gener al Andrew Jackson, relative to Jack son's duel with Dickinson, is given : "In conversation with General Jackson one day I said; 'General, is a brave man ever frightenedT "'1 don't know that I am compe tent to arswer that question,' said he. I replied: 'The world accords you as much bravery as is possessed by any "'If that be so. sir,' said the Gener al, 'I would say I have been as badly ightened as a gentleman ought ever to be.' "I said, 'I presume i bat was in some f your Indian fights?' "'So,'said he. it was when I went yn the field with Dickinson. I knew iim to be a cool, brave, determined man, and the best shot I ever saw, tud I never expected to leave the field iive. I owe my life t0 the fashion of he dav-the fuil-breasted coat, This md the peculiar conformation of my nuch sunken chest were all that saved ne. Dickinson's bullet struck what ippeared to be the centre of my body inder the night arm, and the ball razed my breast bone. I had gone ipon the field determined not to fire it Dickinson, but to discharge my pis - ;o in the air, having no ground of uarrel with him, and not wishing to iurt a hair of his head. MV quarrel vas with his fat her-in-law, Ervin; but vhen I felt myself shot, under the im ression that I had received a mortal vound. and smarting under this be ief and the physical pain, I fired the atal shot, and no act of my life have ever regretted so much. "'Under the conditions of the meet ng we had a right to reserve the fire, ecause I knew that Dickinson could ;hoot so much more quickly than I ould. It has been asserted in the mtblic prints,' said Old Hickory, 'that advanced on 'Dickinson to deliver ny shot and that he gave back, both >f which statements are false, sir. I ood in my place whben I fired and Dickinson remained in his, receiving ny shot like a cool, brave man as he General Harding said that at this ;ame interview, which was the last he ver had with General Jackson, the atter said to him: "'The world is greatly mistaken Lout my having an ungovernable emper. I never gave an exhibition )f temper without my judgment ap >roved it. I sometimes found it nec ssary to prevent the shedding of >ood.'" Our Washington Leffer. [From Our Own Correspondent.] WASHM osx , April i8, 1887. The work of evangelizing the city of Wash ngton has commenced, and from the out ook will be vigcrously prosecuted. The astors ot eighteen protestant churches have liscussed the subject fraternally. an-l have reed upon a means of systematic union ork in every section of the Capital. which ertain moralists have essayed to establish s the most ungodly in the world. And Washington is being niade better in ither ways. An old law on the District of ~olumbia statute hooks makes it unlawful or any persdn to keep open Any plae~ of bus ness fo)r the sale GI any~ article of p~rofit on ~undiy, excepting apotbecaries, undertak rs, and barbers. The Commissioners have esurrected this law from its dusty tomub, nd propose to enforce it. In other wordsl here will he no cigar stores open next San la, and news stands, ice-creamu saloons, unch-rooms, etz., w:li also be closed. It is difiicult to see the drift of this action. ome people think that, since the day of >due law is over, the prohibitionists have ~one a little too far for their own good, that here will be a general howl of indignation, test case in which the District will proba >v be defeated and then the barr'ier will be town. I do not know that Washington needs any nore evangelizing Labor expended upon it han any other metropolis in the country, lespite the universal opinion outside that it s a perfect cesspool of iniquity. 'The Cap tal is not a vicious city. It is not an im oral citv. it isi really not in as bad a way yy half as the agitators would make it out o be. There are no gambling houses here. At ne time faro and all other games of chance rhich ruined the life and business advance nent of many a man were in full blast, but hey were completely wiped out some years rgo. During the past winter some adven urers opened a gambling house here for bus ness, but within two days their establish nent was vacated. There are no profession d poker roomus in existence here. I (10 not nean that poker is not played, for it is, to a ,onsidrabie extent during the so-called so ial season, but it is not licensed. It has been said in other cities that their as no artistic or musical atmosphere in Washingtou; that politics and society ab ~orbed every faculty and interest. Wash .ngton does lunch and dine and visit a great .lea1, and politics "do hang ais ai sort or Old Kan of the Sea about its neck. but it is more :han the political and social capital of the ~reatest republic the world has evcr seen. verv national interest centers here, and. very phase of national hife is represented ere, as is also the intellect, and culture and. patriotism of a continent. The great social whirl begins onNe Year's D~ay, and sabsides with the advent ol ent. During that season with the fashion ible people and official entertamners, calls it visiting-cards till up the niornings. alls, receptions, and visiting cards crowd :e afternoons. Calls, receptions, and vis. iting cards jam the evenings and nights un il next morning every day. If every day wtre a weca long and every week a m'onth long, there would still not be :ime enough for all the calls, receptions, risiting cards, breakfasts, luncheons, din ners and teas, which constitute the occupa ion of a certain element of society here. But aid this social maelstrom, one meets more famous men and women, statesmen, rators, soldiers, and scholars, more people worth knowing and remembering, than in my other city in America, or in all its cities combined. And taken all in all, for its size, its cosmo politan population, it m'ay be said that Washington is~ a good city in point of mor als. Still it h:.s been so much and so tong misrepresened, that it will be very difficult to remove s'uch a widely spread, erroneous impression Among its latest charities is the establish ment of a "Home" the object of which is to protect and providie for young women who come here expecting to get work and fail to do so. A number of prominent ladies and genenien ha~ve organized themselves into an Association for the establishment of this "Home"which will be the means of prevent ing uniol suffe.ring and degradtio.W men come here seeking emphlsywnt1 i'umi every quarter of the United States.
