Wednesday morning last. In company with
I)r. J. B. Moseley and Mr. H. A. 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.
