that the /Vc.t? ttwl Huntu-r has no desire, u

liny unwarranted charge against the Jttiiici
?iry of the State. We believe with our eon
temporary, however, that hail is too readily
granted In peases involving capital olFenees,
mid it. is our duty to express that opinion
Tnis class ot crimes has grown to an alarm
lug extent of late.
It is plain that the law Is not fully enforced;
that the cuilty escape in very great many
eases, and that men are growing more anil
more fearless of punishment for the critm
of homicide. The responsibility for thisstati
<? things snoulil he fixed, if possible, with n
Nicwto securing the hotter and more certain

Out of the lawlessness in certain portions ol
the State, notably in I/iurens county, good
may yet come. Tiie Abbeville Prrs* nix I f!<tn
tfcrHtiJ the AVtrxttml Courier, in their an.\iet>
to have the law properly and promptly en

J t seems from the foregoing that we have beer
laboring for a long time under a serious delir

The greatest men that ever lived have mailt

ure perfectly certain in our own mind thai
hail has been granted too often by our circuil

What, I shall say lo yon, my comrades, shall
lit least have the virtueof sincerity, though it
may lack eloquence and elegance of style,
'j They are the words of one who shared with
i you your glories and sorrows for tour long
j years, and saw your Has float meteor-like
over fields where the old l'.'tli either bravely
I conquered or heroically fell, and who in the
i presence of the survivors of that gallant old

as stiiring ns ever tilled the breast of

miliar thees as gallant as ever d:d honor to!
the lost cau-e, faces often seen wreathed inj
' tin* smoke of battle or lit by the flash of inusi
kotry, the sounds of which still lingers In my
] fancy's oars, and frequently startles mo when
I I hear a rebel yell as I flist hoard at Corinth,
I when Insideot a rebel suilmv heartbeat Willi I
hope mid happiness. Who tliat was with you
Uraii ever foriset the memorable Held of >IurI
frees bo 10, when you lor tlie ttrst time met the
j enemy, covering yourselves with glory while
j you sent him pelmei to the rear, capturing
j his battery which was presented to South Carolina,
as a recognition of your gallantry. A
costly gll't to us. It was at the cost of a l.ythgoc
and a Crowdcr. Noblo, gallant, lamented
dead. Who can forget the forced marches by
day and night, and the footsore and worn
companions as they dropped out never loreturn
to us. i mr comrades sleep in the soil of;
Kentucky, Tennessee, (jsrorgla, Alabama,
North and South Carolina. \\ ho can forget
Chickainaugn, where so many of our numbers
slept the sleep of death, while you carried
the enemies works as If It had been sport,
or the ever memorable march from Dalton to
Atlanta. Every hilt was a battle field and
taught the enemy that only overwhelming
numbers could move us.
Cailantly did you dispute every inch of
ground, well do J remember the sad look depicted
upon each (ace as wc crossed the Chattahoochee
and encircled Atlanta. The contest
around Atlanta was long and you acquitted
your.-elves ^ailantly, but death invaded our
ranks and claimed many of our nuble boys
there. In our reflections the mind turns with
horror from Franklin, from that night when
death reigned king and the very air we
breathed seemed laden with shot ami shell.
When every one does his duty it is unwise to
he personal. Hut It was at Franklin that the
Southern soldier made a name that will live
while time la-t<. It was then that blood ran
like water. The world never before or since
saw such heroism as was displayed there. It
was more inai nui ij onni, me .^uMievwm ui
the West, fell with his victorious men in tl.c
enemies works. Generals foil like autumn
leaves but privates lay like sand upon the sea
shore. Franklin should bo considered tho
bloodiest drama of the war, and as the battle
of all others, to be celebrated in song and
story. Time will not pen it ?ny saying more
and necessitates my leaving unsaid many
things worthy ol the bards song or the historians
pen. It' J have awakened a single emotion
or touched a chord in the heart of a comrade
by tho recital of these glorious scenes,or
succeeded in bringing to mind sotno familiar
torm long since sleeping In a strangers grave,
then I feel that my labor ol love has not been
lust.
Itnt lliArn lc vnl nnn mnrn field to which I
would invite you. Come with me In your
Imagination lo Columbia, as we left it tilled
with helpless women and children. In a few
short hours our hopes were blasted. Columbia
was in ashes and our women and children
without homes ns well as protectors. The
ruthless hand of destruction did well Its work.
With sad hearts we retreated?a haudfull before
overwhelming number.'*. The enemies
march was marked by one continuous scene
ot tire, ruin and desolation, und to-day many
silent sentinels rerun ir. to at test that.Sherman
passed that way. lJutwe hope that nil who
were engaged in that diabolical work may
like their leader ever deny that they did it.
it has been said that Athens ourlcd her fallen
heroes in her most beautiful gardens,except
those who fell nt Marathon und they In
recognition of their valor were burled where
they fell. Our comrades sleep all over the
West with the starry canopy of heaven making
their resting places more honored than if
they slept in guildcd vaults, Guard sacredly
tho memory of your fallen dead, even though
they sleep among strangers. I.ovlng what we
lost does not make us any less tlie loyal, If so
then let us be branded traitors and we will
iiiory in the appellation. The clouds which
obscured that Hag for which so many gallant
sons of the South uied has passed away beneath
the ri-ing sun of peace and happiness,
since the voice ot the nation has proclaimed
Grover Cleveland president of there United
States, we of the South are once more in the
union and there to stay. No longer arc We
cursed with nil infamous radical ruicand negro
domination. The last vestige of the war
has been removed and our days of humiliation
are of the past. Progress is stamped upon
all around us and activity is the watch
| word of the hour. He who loiters will be left
behind. Already is the lutnre skirted with
the lainbow tints of prosperity. To you my
I fellow comrades who always responded to
i duty and was ever found at the post of honor
i .-owl tlmiiriT when men's con Is were tried let
mo mid just one word, show yourselves In
the grciit future before you to be men equal to
the emergency. in our pleasant rivalry In
the future let us see who enn best serve his
State unit nation and while honoring our living
heroes let us not forget thoso noblemen
who live only In our hearts and whose plaees
upon our rolls e^ic never be filled this side ot!
eternity. Let us not wantonly make those
wound* long since healed bleed afresh to-da.v.
Their nnnilics are hereandarc too forcibly re|
minded of their lost ones, llut let us pause
and lifting aside tlieeurtaln which shuts their
sorrow out from the world let us whisper your
loved ones while llvhigdld their duty. Emulate
their example and though you have been
denied a reunion here trust to O'od that in
that great gathering In eternity you shall
have a reunion of bliss lasting eternally.

courtesies, the civilities and aiuenit es of life.
And 1 love to gather around my comrades and

more than once have beard the shriek ofj

recollections of by-gone days, and revives
and illustrates a memory that is so dear.
You all are fully endeared to me by common
privations, common hardships, and common j
calamities. I can remember it all. How we

lions and hunger never chilled your ardour, j

you followed tlie (lags and fortunes

born of valor. I see before me to-day heroes
of that lost cause. Yes, my comrades, it !
was a lost cause. Loss of life, of love, of!
property, and oh ! nt what a fearful, frlghtfal
cost! 1'overly and suttoring was the cost,
desolated homes was the cost, orphaned children
was the cost, bones blenching upon a
hundred hattlo Ilelds was the cost. You did
what you conceived to be votir duty, and now
you may have a misfortune to repair hut no
disgrace to lament. It is a cause and not the
fate of a cause that is glorious, ami 1 stand
here with the assurance, that, you have nothing
to retract, nothing to he ashamed of,
nothing to apologize for. You were lovers of
liberty anil constitutional right. Wo lost

that soul touches soul and heart speaks to

Spcoeli of Lieutenant J. Fiilloi' Lyun.
Captain McCnslan said:
The next speaker is one whom Company II
loved and respected, not only for his fearless
conduct us a soldier, but also lor his moral
worth as a man?one whose empty sleeve is a
testimonial that he was a leader In battle as
well as in the peaceful pursuits of life?Lieutenant
J. Fuller Lyon:
Lieutenant Lyon replied:
The lirst lesson lor a soldier to learn Is obedience.
(.'apt. Mct'asian commands mo to
speak and though I am not prepared with an
arranged addicts. I will obey and talk
awhile though It will, from necessity be irregular
and disconnected. True politeness has
been tied tied as follows: "To listen with interest
to things you know all about when
they are told by a person who knows nothing
about them," Those who have preceded ine
to-day have not drawn upon your patience, j
They may not know all about the things of
which they have spoken, but they do know
as much about them as any other living witnesses.
A similar meeting to this was held by one of
the Companies of Ort's Hides at Abbeville re- [
cently. I sat in the rear of the Court room
and heard the roll call, and I felt the most In-1
describablesadness at the great number of
names that were called anil there weic no answers
made, llow much more sadly I foci
iinvr f111111 T did thf*n mnv In vrtmrt ilmrtu.n hit I
imagined when I was well acquainted with
nearly every one of the ninety names on our
roll. How lew are hero to-day ! How many
are absent never to meet us In any of our reunions
here ?
I am delighted, comrades, that we are here i
to-day. The time was since t he late war that
I thought it might, he more than we might
dare expect to tie able thus to meet and celebrate
the events which are nearest our hearts.
We could not have done so prior to 1>7<I, but
then rising In our iniuht we proclaimed to
South Carolina, to America, yes. to the eivi
lized world, that this country was ours, that
we were upon our native heath, that these j
were our homes, and our country, and that,
hencefourth the government thereof is ours.!
I say it sincerely and with reverence, yes from I
the inmost recess of hearts I s ay, (hunk liod

Comrades, whenjl recall your devotion to
the Lost Cull seas I have witnessed In the
camp, on the march, in the bivouac, in
the trenches and In tlie deadly combat,
these things are a source of pleasure. Hut
when I turn to that host who went out with
you and have not and can never return, then j
deep down in our hears there is real pain. |
Some were left on account of disease, some j
In the conflicts at Shiloh. Murfreesboro, Missiouary
Kidge, Atlanta, Jonesboro, Franklin,'
Nashville, and Averysboro.
1 know that it is not considered to be In the j
best laste to speak of Individuals on an occa-;
sion like this, but I am sure you will indulge j
which I shall make. I will select three mein- j
hers of Co. H. as an Illustration of the material
of which this company was compose].!
The tlrst one whs my school-fellow atul a j
dear frlctul. lie was young, tall In stature, of \
fine physique, with brown hair and eyes, fair i
complexion, centle in manner, kind hearted |
and brave, 'i he atleetion of a loving father j
and mother, yes, and a young wife, were he- >
stowed In no stinted measure upon him, and j
is it necessary that I should call his name!
that you may know that I am speaking of|
James M. l'lirdy ? He died at Jtaitvillc, K.w,;
and you buried him nearer the Ohio than any j
oilier member of your company. He went j
out with you from the vicinity of Verdery.
Next was one from the west near Willincton,
T. I.eHoy, and as his name Indicates, j
he was of French extraction. A man slender,
inform, with black hair, black eyes, dark |
complexion, who seldom spoke unless spok- j
en to, with few comlidants,and ever ready lor]
duty whatever it might be. He fell at Allan- j
ta, July !?!, 1881 and died of his wounds. II
mean all that the expression will convey.!
lie was as brave as Julius Caesar.' |
The third one wa? Lieut. Win. Jay and lie;
was so well known here at his home that his
personal appearance needs no description. I
lie was a man tried, trusted and true. With*]
out ostentation, with strong convictions of,
right and duty, a man of nerve and energy,
lie was Indeed a leader, and leading in one of J

may he written in tlie sand too, If the Wash

Still, there Is obviously a bolter basis for a
full development existing now than did
twelve months ago. The mere fact that another
twelve months have passed, during

(even at a low price) more to the producer
throughout a very large section, where, it
should be remembered, all crops have done

more business to the railroads, that distribute

Horatio Allen, the Ilrst man whoever ran n
loeomotl ve on the A inerh'im continent, Is si ill
nlive.aml isoiicol the heartiestold men in
(he quiet New Jersey town in which ho resides.
He has written si letler to a irlcnd at
Semnton, in which he describes the engine '
and the trip, which was made on Hie banks of J
the l.ncttawaxcn, near Honcsdaie. June 111. '
ls-jy. The canine was purchased In Kngliiud 1
for the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company I
by Mr. Allen, and It received its name. "The I
.Stourbridge I.Inn," by a mere accident. There '
was a bulge in (lit; boiler, caused l>y a Maw in
its construction, and on this the ingenious j
builder painted the picture of a lion; heuce i
(lie name of the machine. A description of i
the engine, published when it was brought to
tills country, says: "It is a nine-horse power, <
having a boiler HiJ^ feet long, with two cylinders,
each of three ieet stroke. It is ca leu la led
to propel from sixty to eighty tons, at live *
miles per hour." ;
Some idea of the perils Incurred by Horatio
Allen In that famous first rtitc on a Incomo- I
li ve, can be obtained by reading the following i
extract from his own account of it. He says:
'The roud had been built In the summer, the .
structure was of hemlock timber, and the ,
rails of large dimensions, notched on to caps 1
placed far apart. The timbers had been warped
and cracked from exposure to the sun. Af- '

about thirty teel high ami with a large curve s
of li.VJ or I'M) loot radius. The Impression was (
very general that ttie iron monster would
eiiiicr break down tlie road or that-it would L
leave the track at the cur*c and plunge Into i'
the creek. My reply to such apprehensions J
was that it was too late lo consider prohahlii- 1
ties i -l" such occurrences. As I placed my hand '
on !he throttle valve handle 1 was undecided
whether 1 would move slowly or with a fair s
degree of speed; hut, bclievim; that the road
would prove safe, and pfelerrlng that if we
did go down to go down handsomely and 1
without any evidence of timidity, I started
witti considerable velocity, passed (lie curve
in safety, and was soon out of hearing of tin* 1
cheers of the largo assemblage present. At '
the end of two or three miles I reversed the 1
valves and returned without accident to the
place of starling, having thus made the (lint l
railroad trip by locomotive on the Western *
hemisphere." 1

The first sentence ?>f tm editorial in the Carolina <
Spartan, on the prevalence uf murder, is: "Tin; wnntiin
and lawless lise of the pistol and other (Irniliy (
weapons is bringing onr State Into disgrace. There
is no public sentiment in l.vor of shooting people
withoiu provocation." Another sentence is: "We lie ]
lieVi' tile reason tlial such a state of all".til's prevails '
is because all our peacv oflicers, from the governor
down in tile constn de, are siliahl to life all tho inenns '
wiihia their power to repress such crimes and pun- *

the honor and dignity of the State are at stake." ]
iiully and hlooily lawlessnejs and official coward- (

we think, in t< rms none too pointe'i or strong. Al- ,

citizens for the murders and other lawlessness in *
South Carolina. 2
This lamentable condition of the country is. direct- 1

What hope is there that the prevalent lawlessness

many ways the exploits and events of the late war (
are so enthusiastically cherished arid celebrated, and
while there Is at the same time so much attention |

We have occasionally, and during the past j
forty years, urged thy importance o! cutting ;
timber wlicn it couhfbe seasoned rapidly, for
llio purpose of rendering It durable. Owes ,
have been citud us where trees were eut when 4
in a rapidly growing stale, and stripped
ot their bark, and then sawed or split in- *
to boards, seatilling, plank or rails, and ren- 1
dereddurable by being subjected to the drying
summer winds and sun thine. This treat- t
nient seasoned them into almost linperislni- i
bie hardness, lint if eut In the winter orj
early spring, they soon became sap-rotten,
ami lasted only a lew years at the longest. .
Young bass wood shows this detl'ercnce in a
striking manner, summer-cut and seasoned !

In the Kural New Yorker, iu which he says
thatlau foresty conversation in Moscow it was
stated as tiic united results of many trials
made under Hie direction of the Jlussian
Udverninent, that the best t ime to cut trees
is near the end of J line, while the burl:, as far
up as they are used for limber, and the leaves
are lorron the rest to pump out the sap.
Within a few days they are Hawed orsplit into
lumber or post, and dried rapidly.
l'rof. IHidd adds the results of sumo of his j
own experiments bearing In the same direction.
1'oles of (junking itsp (aspen?) were'
cut and peeled in June, and then nailed to;
posts for fencing. They lasted tli'tceii years.
Oilier cut iu winter rotted in three years. I
l'olesol box elder cut peeled and dried, nnd I
set as posts for fences or slnrds, have lasted six-:
teen years; while the same kind, used for tlicj
same purpose, rotted In four years when cut
in winter and set green. It is proper to remark
that there will lie less dillerenco with
old heart wood than with young and thrifty
trees In which the sap wood predominates.
