WINNSBORO, S. C.
Wednesday. Angust (J. : : :
Congulss should remember that the
Democratic party is committed to tariff
reform, and this great question must
1>2 met.
We believe that a repeal of the ten
per cent on State bshks would he'p us
;i little. It would ?ive us a little
. money centre right here at home.
All of the evils that exist in the
State are attributed to the influence of
the anti-Tillman press. The Spartanburg
llcadlijht has demonstrated very
-t ti.n f fiiiifli-vflfIvf? uros.s is
UlUiUiV 11KIL lliu \.vi<ev> ...... t
responsible for the frequent occurrence
of the cause for lynching.
Now is the lime fur all good men to
come to the aid ?f the party. If something
Is not done for the relief of tiie
people by the Democratic party, we
believe that the party will fill, and
with little hope or chance of rising,
for a long time, if ever again. It is
certainly a most critical period in its
history.
The Abbeville Medium thinks that
Farley and Tillman hare failed to hit
* ' i*
Iiby, and "tie ueiorin aiovcuitiu xs
as strong as ever. The Medium bus
this ingenious argument to prove the
greatness of Ii by: That the recent
f attacks made upon him show that he
has not only had to contcnd with Butler
and all tl.e amis, but he has gone
0:1 to greatness in spite of this opposition
and the antagonism of some of
the Reformers.
Governor Tii.i.max surely is "only
blowing*- when he arms his constabulary
and orders them to shoot anybody
who oflers them an insult. The publicwill
remember that the Governor himof
ti*r> r>iid of the cam
SUAJL LVUAWCV,VI *.*v w s.
paign of jSOO that lie had iloue "a
great deal of blowing1." Are you
only "blowing" now, Governor"'
Seriously it is beneath the dignity of
the Governor to treat such a serious
matter in a "blowing"' spirit.
a
Tiie proposition to establish a
? seperate and distinct court to try
rapists seems to meet with general
favor. All good citizens will heartily
concur in any ?cheme that will prevent
i
lynching, ai.d at the same lime auuiu
a means by which ihe fiends may be
brought t? justice. The difficulty
about the establishment of a court is
0:1 constitutional grounds. The right
of appeal couldn't be denied, and right
here would lie the danger of delaying
punishment.
It *iems that some of the prominent
men in the Alliance desire to belong to
uvo political parties. Some man talking
through the Columbia Journal a
few days ago, says that the Alliance |
will stick to the State Democracy, but
in national politics it will go with the
Populists. Wei!, where will we, who
want to be Democrats out and out,
Democrats in national affairs as well
as State affairs, go? The Populists of
I this State will find it a pretty incon
vcnient thing to hold between 00,000
and 40,000 white voters in a ThircJ
Party organization under the-Tusgtise
of Democracy^jriiX?-k~to sustain the
[ name ofJJefiiocracy in State politic?.
f ?a ?-n?
?' The Democratic platform is very
clear in its promise to maintain the
parity between gold and silver,?that j
^ was its clear, unmistakable enuucia-1
lion to the people, and it will be guilty
of a breach of good faith with the
people if it pursues any other policy,
f The promise is made to coin gold and
' silver without discrimination against
either. Silver is now worth about
o-S cants, and in order to re-establish
the parity between the two metals,
| , 42 cents more of silver should be put
I in a silver dollar, and this would make
I tiic ratio about 20 to 1, instead of 1G j
r to 1. If this is done, then very few
men would object to the free coinage.
: 11 is absurd to talk about the amount
of silver in a dollar having nothing to
do with the- question. "Why not put
the stamp of a dollar in a nickel, and
^ call it a dollar?
i<?o to the "Coot of the Evil.
The country is wailing with a great j
?:eal of interest for President Cleve- j
land's message to Congress in its I
extraordinary session. Mr. Cleve- !
land has won the confidence of the j
country, and many of us consider bun j
a man far above the trials of the j
j politician, too hi<rh a man to sacrifice j
principles merely lur personal success, j
1 and believirg this of him what he shall J
have to sav concerning the situation j
!
ot the country will be read with great
I interest. We think that it may be tie-'
peuded upon, that he will not evade a j
single Question. Whether or not he i
f shall outline a policy to meet the
present emergency, or leave that entirely
to Congress, is not known. It i
strikes us, however, that the Chicago ;
platform is itself the best outline of a '
policy that the Democratic ' party re j
quires just now. Let Congress go to j
vrork to ";?act into proj er 1 -^ifelatioii |
tie declaration of principles emune-!
rated in the party's platform, and tlie j
country will have no ground of com-j
plaint. The country endorsed that;
platform by vote that is uutquallfti in
the party history, and the people demand
that Congress shall proceed to j
carry out ;hose view?. If the Demo- j
c;-aiio party t-hall fail to do it, it will |
lose (lie confidence of the country, j
l's duty is plain. It wasgiveu power, j
principally, on account of its funda-1
mental and cardinal prfneipie: Tariff !
Keform. Some people may talk about i
free coinage of silver and others may;
talk about the repeal of :ne Sherman
Act. hut neither of these can give re-1
lief to the depressed conditions ol the j
present times. Such action would be |
on the surface only. Free silver j
would not increase the price of cotton j
and other products of the farm relative j
to other thing* in the markets of the j
world. What is distressing thjcount.T
now, is that while cotton and other
farm products are selling ?t low i
prices, hats, snoes, blankets, clothc?. j
&o., arc held at high prices. Ii is j
against the natural laws of commerce j
that a bale of cotton can't be taken to j
Liverpool and exchanged for its legiti j
mati value in manufactured goods, j
Legislation which will go to ths root j
of the system which puts an artificial 1
value cn blaukets will give relief. It
does dot matter so much if cotton
does sell for a low price, provided other
things are correspondingly low,
i Certainly the tanner has the right in
all fairness to demand th:<c his products
shall be put on an equal footinir with
the manufacturers. The duty of
Congress is right in its face. The
manufacturers may, and it is expected
that they will, raise the cry that inrir i
business is being destroyed, but \v?* j
can't ice the justice or fuirm'-s in j
making agriculture pay a tar. 10 e:nich
the manufacturer or even r.. i n.dde
him to make a living. New Kn^hnd
has yot ricli by tins luiqunuu.- u-.\,
| and the South has been ground to the j
j severest poverty. Ii is time to stop,
and no half-hearted, faint-kneed hand- i
J ling of the question wil satisfy the I
j country.
The Extra Sjesnioii.
The country is uou* in the midst of
a irreat financial C"i>is, and it is
earnestly hoped lhatthe representatives
! in Congress will realize that the extra
session of Congress is called b ? President
Cleveland for the purp>>.??; of j
rnrreciiuL' the evil results that have j
followed bad legislation. Congress!
i
should consider the meters brought;
before it i:i a spirit of patriotism.
This i> no lime f>r p&nisnn wrangles.
The country is in a senilis. condition,
on the eve of one of the most disastrous
money panics that lias ever
be}n in this country, and it is certainly
no time to encourage prejudice and
narrowness C'^-gres- should rise to
needs of the hour.
One of the most important matters
that is to be dealt with, is the silver
question. This u great problem, j
and one that we mujt confess imolves
agreat many difficulties. It is certainly
a very striking fact in modern onetarv
history tlut nearly all the great
countries of the world are discarding
the coinage ol silver. Xo intelligent
man can closejiis eves to the significance
of the fact that among people
or the highest civil'/ *iou and largest
commercial pursuit: .01 evolution j
from a silver to a g.M.l .> andard has
taken place. There mu*t bo some
reason for this, an 1 it is s.lwird to say
that the United States can b: independent
of the great commercial
countries of the world. The value of
our money in Europe is of vital importance
to up, and whether we like
it or not we must have respect to the
value of our money in foreign countries.
Doubtless one reason why ?juld |
has taken the place of silver in so many j
countries, is that in settling large j
balances between foreign countries
tLe most valuable metal in the smallest
L-ulk is demanded. The change irora
silver to gold has been remarkable
within the past twenty years.
England legally adapted the gold
standard as far back as 1816,. &111 t'de
act of Parliain?iit-Ri&king the change
rccitQS" thac "great inconvenience has
arisen from both t.'.osc precious metals
being currently the standard measure
of value and equivalent for property."
It is worth nothing as pointed out by
? * - ? -c --.I
iVtwaiM A. i^eccn, iuniien* uutuui
of the mint, (hat forty years ago all
Europe had the silver standard, "not
only legally but actually ?silver coins
constituting the great bulk of the
money of actual transactions."
In 1871-1370, Germany adapted gold.
In 1S7S the Latin Union, France:
Italy, Belgurn, Switzerland closed
their mints to ill* coinage of silver as
full debt-paying money.
Norway, Sweden. Denmark*, Holland,
practically, an 1 Russia except
lor Chinese trade havo all followed.
The f'X{.criment of these countries
arc certainly worth something to u?,!
and Congress should study carefully
the experience of Europe.
Bin ihc vital i-vme oeiorc
is the tariff. That was a clear, distinct
issue in the last campaign, and tlie
country is impatient to know what Congress
is going to do about it. This ueeds j
attention, and no timid conservatism j
will satisfy the country. The Demo- j
crais have full power, and nothing]
should prevent the party from carrying
out its platform. The country is look- J
ing anxiously towards Washington.
Sunday Cycling.
Speaking of Sunday bicycle rilling, j
the K"V. L. M. Powers, of Sowerville, j
Mass., >my?: "It is no more a sin than
it is to take a ride in a carriage?it is
not a sin at all. The wheel has come
to stay. I trust, however, that it will
more and more become a family institution.
The wheel which takes a man
away from his family on the one day
when he can be with them is an evil
and an evil only."?Sues and Courier. |

July 21st, 1-SG2. Dr. Nye won! to
Riclitti )2ul today a<.cl ?ot appointment
in UhimyOiaz) Hospital as.a contract
Mugoon, getting. I Mippose, eighty
dollars p*r month. We came out and
told quite an at-susiiit, tale ot the conversation
between the Surgeon General
and himself. The recommendation
he got from Dr. Gaston was not at all
enticing. I weiit also on the same
business and strange to say we kept
??nr secrets pretty much to ourselves,
not meeting each other the whole day.
I went to Sargent Geuerai's ofike and
remained for tome time. There was
quite a orowd rushing to get in I
became tired and disgusted, so i icn
and went down to Lt. Clark's Hospital
to see Butler Alston, and then put out
for our camp, having accomplished
nothing, and thinking I would not go
any more, for I abhor office seeking
above all else. Yet as I was doing
the duty of assistant surgeon I thought
I might as well have the office as to
do the duty wi;hcut the office. On
la^t Saturday Gen. Anderson left us
to lake command of Gen. H user's
Division. He made a short address
to Lis brigade, telling them <-f the indissoluble
ties between them, and that
his promotion was caused by their
<r-i!i,mt hiwrino- and conduct in all the
%...? - ~?- -n una
his recollection of them
would be 11 uly plea?ant. Wishing'
them all success lie bade them good
bye.
July 21. Went to Richmond today
and had an interview with Surgeon
General S. P. Moore, and wa? aj>
pointed a-.?ivant surgco'i ui.Yt ordered
to duty in the G';h Regiinsnt-the place
I CiC-iretl to go. I lound the MtrgcjnI
general quite a pleasant talking gentleman,
\ei he spoke to Hsu pcint
freely. Dr. Thompson was ordered to
dntv in C;h Regiment and reported
accordingly. The regiment started
down the road in one of the hardest
r f.ll i..,,
rams 1 5^1 W t.iJl* mil Ciav/nvutu
about uoou. Came back th:it evening.
We rticnght a fight was imminent, but
found they only had to ihrow up
breastworks about three milts from
camp. Tlie entire brigade would be
marched down, but one regiment
would work at a titne. It was good
exercise for Il.e men, but it was hard
work to make ihcin go out?:hc <31111cnltv
beinsr our lieutenant-colonel
would make them g> when ~ihoy were
not excused by the surgeon. The next
day <\c mnved camp ab.?ut ono-half
mile, got belter water?belter situation
every way. Wtf have ju>t been paid
ofF for lour mouths. I was paid $94,
and naid 820.50 for a pair of pants
aiul $27 for a round jacket. Immense
gambling is going on all over camp,
ami pie and chicken wagons throng the
neighboring roads, always having
large crowds with them, and asking
double pric-.'S for what they have to
sel). The soldiers (I am told) steal
from a great deal when the crowd is
large.
August 1. Nothing is doing in catnp
except working on breastworks as
usual.
8ih. This morning the brigade was j
ordered to march in direction of Mai- j
vern Hill as the r-nemv are making!
Hrtmi-moi*n.iinns in that nuarter. Evans' i
Brigade had a small skirmish with the :
enemr a day or two ago. Mr. Davy |
Campbell ha< born here tor a few days
atia goes back 10 Ukh'n"nd on his way
home today.
13th. We are packed up to start 10
Jackson. The wagons have gone on
ahead, as we arc to ukc the c u s ..n
Central Railroad. We loll at l' a. m.
ai d got to Richmond early in the day. I
We halted in the street by the market j
to r an hour or waiting for the train]
wo were to embark 011 to get righted.
All got aboard at last, most ot us on
plattorm cars. The sun was very
warm on u', but managed to get on
pretty well. Arrived at Gordonsville
late in the afternoon, being very much
fatigued. Marched four miles to camp
and laid uown 10 rest auei ii jtaui?
supper. Next clay I visited loth and
17th Regiments and saw a number of
Fairfield fellows. Remained two
more days in same place. Xu\v preparing
to move i know not where.
Snndav 17th. Moved in direction of
gac?iw imm iM?nv,. rai.i.n?m
Orange (J. II., but about noon our
Ciur;e was changed to th; light, passing
in sight of Camp Taylor where we
cunped last March. Here we came up
with our wagon train and camped all
ulrrlif Ilfi-f I 5mw ;i iM rfv-nrrm corn
lield in roasting ea: s completely ruined
by the soldieis i:i hair' an hour. Xvxt
day moved i:i direction of ll-ipidan
Uiver, taking up the river 10 cto3sat
Raccoon Ford. Nothing uim-ual happs*?ed
on the march.
-Otli. Crossed river today, wading
it at liaceoon Ford near a mill. There
was a line situation for a house suiting
my fancy exactly. The rocks in the
river were very unpleasant to the soles
of tender feet. Our march was then
quite rapid on a dusty road, passing
some good farms with neat houses on
them, showing the owners to be thriving
people. On the march we passed
some beautiful ladies who had come
out to tlie road on horseback to see
the soldiers pass. 1 felt that a little
conversation with them would be very
agreeable, but on we had to go. I
did wonder in my mind when this
horrible, cruel war would come to an
end, but my only relief was to turn
my thoughts to other things.
23rd. Yesterday was a tiresome
day of travelling to us. there being no
order in the movement of the wagon ,
train?. Kadi striving to cut oil' the
other. The wagons were three deep
on the road and I think extended for
seven miles, the infantry inarching
along on the outside of the road. We
were brought to camp near night and
had a good opportunity for cooking
supper. Next, morning we marched
on only taking the ambulances and
hospital wagons with us. We went a
few miles and halted and soon the
enemy's artillery and ours began a
duel, which lasted nearly all day, killing
some of our men and wounding a
great many. Several were killed and
wounded in the 17th Kegiment, our
brigade was kept out of it and near
wfiirnprl to snnifi rami). This
morning the Yankees succeeded, in
burning the raibroad bridge over the
Rappahannock J liver, so our course
was changed.
24th. We started next morning
early up the river and made a good
march. Some artillery firing going on
during the day. A few men in our
brigade were hit, but only one man
wounded serving (in the 1'. S. S).
Wc marched late at night over some
b;> 1 roads. The march was hard next
day, moving slowly on, and late at
night wc halted. I ate my supper
ainl laid down and slept" soundly.
The day was warm and dusty.
2Gth. Our wagons being so far in
the rear, 1 did not get to them all day
and minus my feed and poking along
wc did not cross the llappahannock
until late at night. 1 was on foot and
had to wade the river at 1 o'clock at!
night, and then had to travel one of {
the worst roads I ever passed over in ?
my life. Now and then wc would
pass a broken down ambulance, and
here ami there was lying a cieau norsu. i
My only covering for the night was an |
oil* cloth, as my blankets were in the |
wagons which crossed the river higher
up.
27th. The march today has been
dreadful. The men gave out on account
of the heat of the day, and night
found us still on the march. After
dark we passed through Salem, crossing
the [Manassas (Jap Kail road, ami
camped at a late hour. 1 had to lie j
down that night again with an empty |
stomach, but L slept well.
28th. We a.voke very hungry, but i
had managed to buy two ducks and a
chicken which we prepared hastily,
and along with some biscuits which
we baked we had a good breakfast.
I found out that 1 had slept under the j
same tree that Col. Means and stall'
slept under.

and began our march. I bought a
horse from Lieutenant Colonel Steadman
for ?175 and mounted for the
march. Passing White Plains early
in the afternoon, afterwards crossing
and recrossing I\Ianassas Gap Railroad,
we halted for the night at Thoroughfare
Gap.
29th. Early this morning in passing
the Gap we saw the dead Yankees
who were killed the day before by
Gcnl. Joncs? Division. Passing Gaines
Station about noon we came near our
advanced forces under Gen. Jackson.
I lie surgeon oeguu tu juuh. um ^ (
for tlic brigade hospital. I dismount- J
ed and put my horse in charge oi'(
some one. I went 011 foot with ihe
regiment. Filing to the light of the
turnpike we halted^and were ordered
to loud and 011 again for battle. Filing
farther to the right we came in
contact with the Yankees. Thtv
opened 011 us with artillery, wounding,
three men in Company A severely?
"Westley Gulp, mortally, and Jas.
Ketchin and Thad McFadden severely.
:>0th. Lying 011 our arms h^t- ,iigijt
within half nnie ot-tuo lankees wc
s'^pt som&Hy; 'TTot tip, roasted some
corn ami ate breakfast. ?oon after
L. 31. Love (our Regimental Commissary)
came for men to carry up rations,
as the wagons were not allowed to
come up to us. Rations consisted of
buscuits we had cooked and some
bacon (a rare luxury) lie had managed
to buy. We lay until late in the afternoon
where we could plainly see the
Yankee skirmishers, as also ours in
the same licld. Wc could plainly sec
them shooting at each otVer. About j
middle of the afternoon our forces j
under Gen. Jackson on our left began i
the altack. The enemy fought for
half an hour where from the hill which
we were on we could plainly see them
Jiving in different directions. Wc
could see our shell bursting in the I
midst of their broken ranks. Then '
flm rnnftv> fnnv rlivisioi)^ bcirail its
forward movement. It was the pret-j
tiest sight I had ever bchehl in mv
life. I saw a brigade in a charge and j
about 200 yards in its rear came its ;
