WEDNESDAY, JU??E 17, 1886. Some Meanderings cf Brock and I Oca COUNTRY SEAT, "PIKE STUMP," June ll..1396. Brock is our horse He is a good boree, a mighty good horse; hi fact un extra go:?i borse. We wouldn't ssy exactly pious, though Short says he is an eider-Short judges bj his teeth. Our own judgment of bis teeth is that be hasn't a dnirgoof-d eil of piety about him. Ke bit us-some time sjnee. and we've bitted him'several times since, and intend to remember him at every bill we come to, for the nest 30 days, inclusive. We will add to the list of tobacco farmers the names of the Messrs. LaCoste, Stephen and Irby, who are planting 12 acres, and have built 2 barns near St. Charles The Messrs. ?yttenberg's "Rose Hill" tobacco farm is in a state of luxurious growth, as seen from the road. Also Mr. Tom McCutchen's tobacco. We noted a field of cern at Rose Hill, cov? ering quite an area, and rt wa3 good to look at. The Messrs. Barnett ?leo have some very fine corn. The crops general ly, *are io a fine state of growth and cultivation and though the rains have brought forth both May and June graee, most farmers were prepared for it and by gettiog a move on their plows and boes have conquered There are, nevertheless, some who seemed to think it beet to "lay down the shovel and the hoe" and to "take up the fiddle and the bow," as though there was "no more more'work for poor old Ned.*'* These are they who are in the grass andar? basing their hopes on--, well, on free mirer we reckon, or a pension or-pre? destination perhaps In the course of our perambulations we came across the chain gang in charge of Capt. T. D. Oubose, jr , and Sergeant Hurst. They had just completed the main bridge over Carter's Crossing, Scape O'er, and our judgment ts that the job is well done. The causeway is raised to a level with the abut? ments, obviating the danger of knocking the brains ont of your buggy or dislocating your horse's eaoulder as you drive against them. We didn't know that the gang overseer is required to be a skilled bridge builder. We noted, in the gang. Aaron Richardson, who was the subject of a somewhat anomalous case at last term of court. Aaron was arrested for cow stealing. The family of one of the main witnesses was ill and be was permitted, by the Solicitor, to go home under the im . pression that the case would not be reached. -The other witnesses also left, but the case was called and Mr. Wilson, forgetting his permis? sion to the witnesses, allowed the prisoner to be arraigned and the jory empanelled and the prosecutor examined oefore remembering that he had no other evidence. Tbe case was withdrawn from the jury, the prisoner re-ar? raigned tbe next day, aootber jury empannel led and tbe prisoner convicted. His counsel appealed and the case is in the Supreme Court. Your reporter was on Aaron's first jury and has doubts as to bis guilt, thou b the circumstantial facts were "strong as evi? dence of holy writ." Guv. To Confederate Veterans of Sum * ter County. The undersigned having been appointed members of tbe State Advisory Board of tbe Confederate Memorial Society,-for the Coooty of Sumter, make the following earnest ap? peal to all persons interested in "the preser? vation of Conf?d?rale records aod relics :" The City of Richmond, Va., donated to the Confederate Memorial Society (incorpo? rated under the laws of Virginia) the spa? cious residence occupied by Jefferson Davis while President of the Confederacy. Tbs society has converted the house into a fire? proof museum, in which Confederate relics, memorials and the archives of the Southern Historical Society will be carefully preserved, ?"""?^fc-soom has been assigned to each State of the "Confederacy, bearing its oame, shield and color?, to be a repository for memorials from that State. Miss Mary S Hampton as Regent, and Mrs. W. P. DeS? assure as Vice Regent, have the .charge of "South Carolina Room" aod will receive and take care of" a ll doccuments, pic? tures or books written about the war, arms and articies of ?.ny kind used during the war-particularly memorials of soldiers who lost tbeir lives for their country, the mem? ory of which the donor desires to preserve i for future generations. Such relics may be either donated or loaned ; if loaned, a receipt will be given and the article returned when? ever called for. ADV memorials for the Museum sent to us shall be deposited in the South Carolina Room and we will have proper receipts given to the lender that the article be returned whenever called for, and acknowledgment to the donor for tbe gift. We bave little doubt but that the Rouss donation of one hundred thousand dollars aod aootber hundred thousand raised by subscription, will make the J-ff Davis Man? sion tbe conservatory of all Confederate re ? cords, relics and memorials of all Southern patriots who gave their lives for their country We appeal to ail who loved the Confed? eracy to belp us io ibis work. Send us aoj memorials you have, however small ; and lei not Sumter District., whose sons were-at the fall of Fort Sumter, and others fell after tb? surrender at Appomatox, oe the only countj of the State having no permanent records o ber heroes. JAMES D. BLANDIN-G. CAROLINE MOSES. Sumter, S. C., June 10. 1896. Mr. James Perdue, an old soldier reeiding at Monroe, Mich., was severely afflicted witt rheumatism but received prompt relief froa pain by U3ing Chamberlain's Pain Balm He says : "At time3 my back would ache sc badly that I could hardly raise up. If I bac not gotten relief I would not be here to writi these few lines. Chamberlain's Pain Bala bas done me a great deal of good aud 'I fee very thankful for it." For saie by Dr. A. J China.
