In the while heat of disappoint.- | nienl that, always follows defeat in ureal national political contests, main lake counsel with their passions and insist up m assurinyr eonlinnt.! defeat of the party by retiring certain leaders or elements thai nre supp< set to have heen iikuo or ! ss out or accord with the general p hey "f the party, says tin-* Philadelphia Times. Wo set* this pointedly i 1 us', rated at this time in the discussion oT the political situation by Democratic leaders. There lias been a perioral eruption from Democratic disappointed loaders because of the decided defeat or IJryan, and in the hittorncss of disappointment many have come to the front and insisted upon retiring from their fellowship all who don't happen to agree with the dominant party leadership. Some have openly insisted upon ' retiring llry.ni. which would mean retiring the hulk of the Democratic party. Others insist upon retiring Croker and Tammany Hall and others insist upon retiring (Movelaud and all who are in sympathy with him. If the wishes of these disgruntled leaders who insist upon retiring all who don't happen to please them could I)*.' en fore <1, there would be simply no Democratic pnrty left. Henry (May was twice defeated for the Presidency, but his party didn't retire him or insist that he | must go to the rear. His leadership was acknowledged until the day of his death. .lames (1. Blaine was twice defeated for the nomination for President ami once defeated as the Republican candidate, but there never was a day from his tirst defeat in 1S7(? until his death that he was not the leader of lenders in every great Republican battle. The sauie is true of William .1. Bryan. Whether he shall again be nointiiHted for President or whether, like Clay and Blaine, lie shall battle in the ranks his efforts for the parly and its candidates will be the greatest inspiration to Democratic success. The Democratic party of city. State ami nation doesn't want to retire anybody from its fellowship. except those who have corruptly betrayed their trust when charged with party leadership. The Democrats will oVct the next President if all the Democratic elements which honestly desire the overthrow of impt rialisiu and centralization shall be heartily united. It can't. go hack to its old leadership that triumphed in 1801!. Those who have defeated the party can't become its leaders, but the party may be in an attitude two years and four years hence to make all the discordant dements of the present follow its ting in united etTort for Democratic victory. Don't retire Democrats; gather them in. . Talk of a Dlspenaary in Keck Hill. Kock Hill Herald: The east* in the Yorkville court against R. B.

The following article is one of n series that will appear in The Times giving u synopsis of the war record of members of the Fort Mill Camp of Confederate Veterans. Kecords j will he published in the order in j which they are handed in. Leroy Newton Cnlp was a youth of lb )oars when the war between the Slates began in 1801. Filled with the patriotic desire to maintain the cause of the South, lie was the first to step forward and oiler 11is services t< > h is nut i ve State when volunteers were culled for at. Lancaster. S. C? on Di-ceinbt'r 1. 1*01. Shortly afterwards a company was there organised, consisting of 7b men. with .1 I). ('askey captain and I L. N. t'nlp ti tli sergeant. The' eonipany rtccived the uppeiluti >11 "Lancaster Tigers'* and was soon 1 ordered to Camp Hampton, in Columbia. and while there the Scv literal h Regiment of South Carolina Volunteers was organized, of which Company I was the "Lancaster Tigers." The regiment was sent from Columbia to Charleston, rciiiaining t here until the following lime. Company I was reorganized I in May, with !. F. Steele captain and L, X. Culp second sergeant. After a rather dull time in Clini h*ston, the roginient. was sent to Vir ginia and assigned to Longstreet's i corps at Richmond. from which city it marched to (Jordonsvillo and thence to the Rappahannock, where a detachment of [the enemy were engaged. At Brandy Station, Sergt. Culp became ill and was unable to join his regiment again until the day following the second battle of .Manassas. When lie reported for duty he was detailed to bury the dead of his company, I'd men. The next active service Sergi. ('nip's regiment saw was at the battle of South .Mountain. Sentember I.V l.Sb'J, in which In1 was Wounded in t lie I * - f t aim. He was then taken to the hospital at Shepordstown, j from whence lie wus removed to Winchester, having to wiule the Potomac River on the way. After a stay of only a few days at. Shepherdstown, Sergt.. Gulp was given command of a squad of wounded soldiers and ordered to tlie hospital at Staunton. The distance, 90 'miles, was march* d in live days, j The attention at the hospital was so indifferent that Sergt. C'ulp. accompanied hy several comrades, i ran the blockade and went to Rich , inond, where he again entered a hospital. After being dismissed from the hospital he was given a furlough for thirty days and went home. While at home his regiment was ordered to Kingston, N.C., where he joined it in time to take part in the battle at that place. Nothing lbore of special impt rt* ance happened until the regiment was ordered to r? port to Gen. .(oh. Iv Johnson, at Jackson, Miss. From his camp on l'eail river, Gen. Johnson started to the relief; of Vieksburg, but while on the march he was met by a courier who told him that Viekslmighad fallen. Johnson then retreated toward ! Jackson, and his soldiers sutTercd , very much from the lack of driuk, able water and the iutons* heat, it being July. Only four men reached camp the liist night of the retreat, Sergt. ('nip being among the number. From Jackson the regiment was sent to Savannah by rail, some being compelled to ride on top of the cars ami sleeping as if in their tents. The regiment was transferred from Savannah to Wilmington, N. (_\, where it. had nothing to cat except parched corn and peanuts. id ->iay, lMfi, rsergt. Gulp's r? giment was ordered to Petersburg. Vn., and on the night of the IStli was marched to Clay's farm. Next morning the enemy was attacked and driven from their breastworks. In this engagement, Company I lost several men. Kxecpt a few skirmishes, no more fighting wns# done until the night of the 24th. That ni^ht the captain of Company 1 expected an attack and ordered the vidette to awaken Sergt. ("nip if anything unusual should occur. Sergt. Culp, not having gone to sleep and noticing the firing be- . coining heavier in front, aroused the company. During the eon fusion that, followed, he was accidentally shot by Young Yarborough. Tin1 ball passed through his aim, both above and below the ollmu 1 cutting n muscle ench tiino, nml then entered his body under the left firm and passed around his J back under the skin and Indeed under the ri^ht arm. The hull j was cut out afterwards by a Charlotte ( N. C ) physicinu. As a re- ' milt of the wound he was idven !i j furlough and sent home. Having , . sutlieiently recoverefl in October, . he reported for duty and was put in charge of the vjuard at the medical deparliueut in t hru lotto. V (\. where he remained till the close o| the war.
