There was a big and enjoyable picnic at Price's mill on Rocky Itiver Friday. 'There was a big barbecue given at Starr Saturday, In honor of a gathering of Masons for the purpose of dedicating the new Masonic Hall at that place. Hon. I. H. McCalla, Dr. A. .1. Speer, Messrs. J.

Tennent, we boarded the 7.34 a. m. train on the Savannah Railroad, and a ride of V/t hours landed us at McCormick. On the route and not too fast a run gave a pretty opportunity to see the crops and other things on the way. Upoo some of the farms the crops of corn and cotton, while not as promising as the owners of them could have wished them to be, yet they give promise of a pretty fair yield?where managed by farmers?those controlled only by planters were in a bad fix. "AT 1IOME." ' After a stay at the above place of over two hours, w.e took the train for Greenwood, where we arrived in about one hour. Upon arrival In last-named place, were taken charge ot the genial, whole-souled, warmhearted Mr. Kamsay Blake, and taken to his very piouNunt home, where we at once felt that free and unrestrained "at home" so essential to the ease and comfort of visitors. Mr. Blake and his "better half," together with their five attractive daughters, who bid fair In a very few years, to enter the conllnes of bright and noble young womanhood? (nothing else can be expected when the ?f *v*lu A<T^ni>ii\<r <u united In contributing In every possible way to the pleasures of our stay. The same kindness was freely given to an, aud they were many, who partook Of their hospitality. A . parfro*.?h?jilea*nre8 given by our host to his ' guests, was the showing of tils pets: a very fine Jersey cow, a great variety of the finest fruits that can be grown in this? (country came near being said)? part of our State, and his squirrels and guinea pigs, kept in quite a large and well-arranged enclosure. The two days spent in this unsurpassed home has added a reminiscence to the experience of this writer which can never be given over to the shades of oblivion, but as the days come and go, will ever be recalled with the liveliest pleasure. WAR MUSEUM. It In hard todetermlnlne Just where to begin In recounting In a general way tbe events and Incidents of this tbe grandest and most enjoyable reunion of the Confederate Veterans of Houth Carolina. As It was a postbellum celebration, no more appropriate start can be made than with the War Museum. It was found in the Sheriff's office. In the new, hannsome, well-arranged Court House. The Southern people in a general way have always been somewhat careless in preserving relics, and nothing is risked In saying that Just after tbe war they were par- ( tlcularly so, because their cherished alms and desires as to Southern independence ' were destroyed, and for years after the struggle ended, 'confusion was confounded," despondency and gloom reigned supreme. In , such a condition, even tbe brave and chivalrous Southern people were not as zealous in ( taking care of mementoes of tbe bumllia- , tlon of their defeat as they would have been ? bad the Fates given them a better fortune. But with it nil, the display on thle ever-to-be rt-iiicinbured occasion was better than might have been expected, and tin-old "vptK" took i -aellght In again vlewiu*; tin- relics, as they ' * reopened the portals of memory aud brought ' forcibly to their minds scenes and Incidents ol the long ago. ROYALLY ENTERTAINED. I The people of Greeuwood opened their hearts and homes lor the entertainment and pleasure of the yet remaining defenders ol Southern homes and firesides, in '61-'65. The ' stores and most of the private residences were decorated with the "red, white and ' blue," so as to be most attractive to the eye, and small Confederate llags were here, there and everywhere. There were 1,035 of the old ' war horses registered, and it was supposed, ' from some cause not known, there were between two and three hundred not registered. Add to these several thousand visitors and H will readily be seen the big job undertaken f by Greenwood when she bargained to take I care of this large gathering ol people. It was I remarked a short lime ago by an Intelligent I and good Judge, and he a Greenwood man, 1 that he was afraid that Greenwood bad "bit > ott more than she could chaw," but she did t ' chaw" It, all the same, and to the satisfac- ' tlon of all in attendance, so far as could be 1 learned by diligent inquiry, and II there were any who were not most royally entertained, frte of cost. It was their own fault, or from choice of those who were able to pay i and prepared to pay, which cannot and will j not be said, and probably will never be said ol any similar gatherings already held, or to ^ be held lu the future. t GOOD BEHAVIOR. 41 nviu ?J? ?>?l? an IU LUC UCUHVlOr Ol III IS great crowd. The writer busied himself lor $ the two days of his stay 1 n Greenwood In c going through the crowd In all directions, ? and he saw only one man who was under the t least Influence of whiskey, and you had to t look closely at him to know It. Not an oath h or one word Was heard either In going to or d returning from, or while there, that would a have been at all shocking or objectionable to g the ears of polite society. It is safe to say that no more quiet, orderly or better behaved crowd was ever collected together. All thanks and praise to the citizens of Greenwood for their kindness and liberality to the old soldiers in their late visit to thetn. " PERSONALS. Our old-time and valued friend. Mr. John K. Bullock, carried this scribe to his delightful country home, Tour miles out, Wednesday I night. As the days come and go, they leave I behind thein no more pleasant reminiscences B than the visits to and associations with tills I estemed friend and his family. The next morning we walked out to a to- s hacco farm near t>y, owned and operated by j Mr. Dew, ol Greenwood. A few acres only t were planted to this crop thiw year, as an ex- j perlment. It Is proving so satisfactory that t the area wll! be much enlarged next year. Kven the small beginning will pay a haDd- * some per cent, on the investment,and proves a time tobacco culture can easily be made one c ol the most remunerative industries In tills part of the State. N'o expensive curing barus nor machinery are a necessity. The crop can be raised, shipped and sold In three or lour months, in less time than a cotton g crop can be made, and 1 learned that one _ hundred dollars clear protlt per acre is quite .? viu.u. i ruupe.

THE LAUREN'S RUCUSFnll Account of Ihn Inpromptn Fight?I.aureii* Kolid lor tlie !>!? pen an r jr. The State. Laurens, Aug. 4.?The great educational campaign evoluted iiito a slugging match today. It was somewhat the unexpected which happened. Frank B. Gary and A. Howard Patterson had a rough anil tumble fight hetore u thousand Laurens people, men aud women. They lought with desperation and determination until Jim Tillman and others separated them, and then they wanted to get back at each other. Had the accident occurred years ago in this county, when there were a cartload of pistols at a meeting, there would have been fuuerals here tomorrow; but these days all the feeling seems to be between the candidate*. Today the result was two badly bruised faces and emphasis on the style of campalknldkkolnc on, ana u ocuers sdowbu the same spirit there would be many more fisticuffs each day. HOW IT STARTED. From day to day Mr. Patterson hammered at Mr. Gary about bis Charleston speech, reading the clipniugs and making the statements published. Mr. Wary thought this per- ' sisient eflort wa^ to make It appear indirect ly that he straddled in Charleston or favored a local option while iu Charleston, with a license feature which he insisted was not the case, and that Patterson's effort by reading extracts was to place him In a false position ! as to what he had said and his announced attitude on the liquor question. As persistently as Mr. Patterson would make his state roentsjust so persistently would Mr. (iary Insist that his position in Charleston, as elsewhere, was plain and unequivocal and not < Intended to be nor was it misleading, and Mr. Patterson kept on with his statements as published, ana from day to day this kept up and Mr. Patterson got me to send the papers dis speech ou this matter and Mr. Gary was asked for bis reply, which nave been both < published. Today Mr. Patterson repeated and retterat ed about Mr. Gary's alleged straddle In Charleston. When Mr. Gary's turn came to speaK he Immediately replied, as has been published, that he did not "straddle," and 1 that his position then, as now, was plain. PATTERSON WANTED TO EXI'LAIX. Mr. Patterson was sitting about Ave feet behind where Mr. Gary was speaklug ana ?ot up and said: "Mr. Gary, I want to explain something." Mr. Gary turned 6quarely around and said: "Now, Mr. Patterton, I waut to ask you plainly?la what I have said about that Charleston matter true?" Mr. Patterson said he would explain. Mr. Gary replied there was no use to explain, but Insisted on knowing whether whatbe bad juet said about the whole matter was true or not. DARED GARY TO PROVE STATEMENT. Mr. Patterson went on to say the candidates would not agree with Mr. Gary, or sometblnp on that line. Mr. Patterson said he dared him to prove his statement by any of the candidates. Mr. Gary insisted on a direct reply as to whether his statement about the Charleston speech was true or not. By this time the two men were within arms, looking fiercely at each other and no ddubt looking for a blow. Mr. Patterson said, yes, be denied as being correct what Mr. Gary bad said. If he could not explain. Mr. Gary then said: "II you say my statement is not correct you say what is not so.'' JOINED IN THE FRAY. The two men Joined. Patterson struck out and claims to have hit first. There was not 8 second's difference Id the passage of blows Mr. Patterson struck Gary an unhanded lick under the left eye, which cut the skin for half an Inch long. BLOOD WAS COMMON. Gary hit Patterson on the mouth and cut tbe lip and struck bim under the eye, judging iroin ibe braise. It was Dot a minute before half a dozen men were around tbe two combatants, they were up against each other clinched and several blows were passed, but they were pulled apart. Gary was tafeen toward the front of the stand and Patterson to the back. They said nothing but were eager, and tbe watching crowds pressed up to tbe stand. YEI.MNG FOK BOTH. Some yelled for one candidate and some for < another. Two policeman, Sheriff McUravey. Senator llllman and Chairman Smith moved for every one to get back and alt down and get off the stand. By this time the candidates had mopped off their faces and wiped the blood off, for blood llowed from both of their bruises. GARY'S APOLOGY. When quiet was restored Mr. Gary faced tbe audience, somewhat disheveled and bruised, and quivering all over and with clinched band, and spoke out and said when he left home ho decided he would be a gentleman , and give no possible offense to anyone and In turn he would not take any Insult from anyone. He had treated Mr. Patterson as a gentleman and friend, but he had gone too lar, und he would allow no man to Insult him , without hitting him in tbe mouth. < Mr. Gary apologized with feeling and almost tears lor having fought -hefore ladies. idu expressed his deep regret at the Incident, Lhen he went on and concluded his speech, cutting It here and there. 1'ATTERSON SORRY. Mr. Patterson was allowed to make a statemeut and said he was very sorry for the occurrence. He did not like such thingH. He ind Mr. Gary had been warm friends and he had been a staunch friend of the family, but whenever a man told hlin be lied he tried to put his list in his mouth and give htm the t>est he had In his shop. FIVE PLUNKS EACH. When the two combatants had taken their seat a police officer, who looks like the pictures of Mr. Dlnkelsplel, good natured, held aut his hand aud said It would cost each ol the combatants $5 or they would have to uo before mayor's court. Mr. Gary paid bis ?"> ind then Mr. l'atterson, when asked, handed ?ver his 85. THIS THE I.AURENS CUSTOM. The officer, when asked about the matter, said it always cost that amount for a fight in lown, but the combatants could go to court, f they wanted to, and they might get back heir money, but they had only one rule. Mr. Patterson and Mr. Gary left the stand toon atler the Bpeech of Mr. Gary. By a itrarge ooLucldence they both were guests at >ne home, but they are now at different tomes. I/IKI SHAKE HANDS. 1 Through the efforts of Clerk of Court Bolt, J dr. Patterson aud Mr. Gary met, shook hands i< ind agreed to be friends aud comrades to wich other as when they entered Laurens. )f course neither of the contestants was hurt { o any extent. ^ TILLMAN TOOK HIS PRIMARY. After the scrap it was uphill work for all in til Tillman was presented, and he was re eived with enthusiasm. He whooped things ip and had the boys hurrahlug. He took a land primary and called me up to the front o note the vote. Not a dozen voted for pro ilbltlon, but when It came to the vote lor the llspensary pretty much everybody voted, nd there was one of those old time dlspeuary fields of unralsed hands. m / * * For a strictly hfkh grade shoe, one that will lways look nice and hold Its 6hape.
