* 1 -i? ? When The Tide Rose. The Edgefield Man Stuck to His Sentinel's Post. The Ednefield (Jhrouicle tells the following story of a faithful sentinel on duty on the bea^h of ijullivan's Island during the civil war : Sullivan's Island is about four miles long and before tike jetties were built from it to deepen the channel, in ordar t.hat , uyvp ?OC5" sel* might enter the harbor of Charleston, the beach on the south front was beautiful. At low tide it was as smooth as a floor, and two or three hundred feet between the dry sand and the water. Twice a day at high tide, all that, level surface was covered with water. In January, 18 >1, when times began to look "pe-ril-ouB," as Billy Landrurn called it, a liueof sentinels were struug along the beach at night. On one occasion, the first relief was posted about dark at low tide, and wore to walk their beats near the water. Each sentinel would walk about two hundred feet until he met anoth er sentinel, and then back. Of course, they were to get a little farther from (he rising tide as it came in. Charley Covar, ol Edgefield, who was on duty for the first time, had been instructed by the corporal not to leave iiis post for any purpose until he should be released two hours later. Uis orders were also not t f? l?*f. unv Itorortn ? - ? --w V.WJ |/v? own WI pciiiuuo without the countersign. That when a person was halted make hini advance near enough to give the countersign or password i in a whisper. 1 Charley believed that a soldier should obey orders implicitly, i lie had been on his beat hut a < little while when he noticed the water gradually encroaching ou < his liue of walk, but he stuck to it, and two hours later when the ; corporal with the relief gufcrd came around Charley was up to | his waist in water. lie cried, | "Halt," to the relief guard, and said. "Who comes there?" j The corporal answered, "Ooporal j with relief." Charlie said: ] "Stand relief, corporal, advance j and give the countersign." The * corporal who, with his relief was i a hundred feet away on dry land, j said "Come out here, I am not ] going in the water " "It you < don't," was the reply, "I will 9hoot you." The corporal, seeing it would be dangerous to have any more words, waded in, gave the countersign, marched Charloy oui ana put tne reiiet on Ins post, but not in the water, abus.

It appears that he wrote Miss Evans a note Sunday afternoon, asking permission to accompany her to church that night. Miss Evans declined hie company. Thomas thereupon went to her house and began acting very rudely, lie seemed to think Miss Evans was goiug to church with another young man, and told her that if she did so lie would kill both of them. Miss Evans started to leave the room and finally got oa the piazza. Miss Evans's mother ha ' entered the room in the meantime. Thomas tolH Miss Kvmu tlmt if she leit the room he would kill her and after she ha I gone out on the piazza, he followed her and asked : "You don't be fieve 1 will keep my promise, do you?" Miss Evans made some reply and Thomas pulled a pistol and bogan shooting. The first ball struck Miss Evans in the wrist,inflicting a pain ful, but not serious wound. Thomas fired a second time at her and us he did so, she fell to the floor. % The bullet struck a glancing wound in the head, breaking th e akin, but not inflicting serious damage.
