Rose, an evangelist, who is at tending Drew Theological Seminary, but was in this his native State for a while, came here and assisted Rev. J. C. Chandler in a protracted meetLng at The Ridge church beginning Tuesday night and clos ing 22nd. The result of the meeting was 27 accessions to the church and the mem bership revived. A mistake was made by this writer in his report from this place. Miss Mattie Lee Harper was said to have gone to Rock Hill and entered the college, but it was Miss Mattie Leo Cooley who had gone there. The other young lady is still at home. A friend of and a voter for the Governor in the late primary, wrote to the Governor asking him to please send him a barrel of Hour. He is still waiting patiently. Dr. A. J. Speer who had been absent from his home here for some time with kinspeople in other places, came back Tuesday, having been much benefitted in health by his travels. "Wednesday at 3:30 p. m., Mr. J.

Peabody. The reason that the marriage was solemn ized at that place was that the bride was anxious that above named minister, who is the paster of the Presbyterian church here, and one that sho esteemed very highly, should alone perform the cere mony, and as he was sick and unable to come here, the most interested ones went to his home. The bride is very pretty and popular here, and went to her new home roiiowecl by the best wisl>es oC all here.

THE BATTLE OF SHARPSBURG 0 Anderson Daily Mail. The editor of The Daily Mall has re ceived the following very interesting letter from Congressman Wyatt Aik en: Your interesting article in Th( Daily Mail a few days ago with refer ence to the battle of Sharpsburg,? or Antietam as it is called in the north, is of peculiar interest to me because I have heard the question of the name of the battle discussed for the past thirty odd years; and also because my father who com manded the Seventh South Carolina Infantry in Kershaw's Brigade wat desperately and most dangerously wounded there. He was shot cleai through the body in the immediate vi cinity of the heart and we have sev eral accounts of his death, printed al the time. He recovered and latei was in the battle of Gettysburg. As a boy with him in Washington we boarded at a hotel where more th^i fifty Confederate soldiers, whc were in congress, boarded and I re member distinctly hearing that batth discussed time and again by my fa ther and such men as General Gor don and Colquitt, Ransom, Hampton Butler, Rosser, P.

Tillman, William H, Perry Samuel Dibble and many others, and they always spoke of that importanl and bloody battle as the battle oi Sharpsburg. In talking with men whc were on the federal side in that fierce conflict, they invariably spoke of i: as the battle of Antietam (Aunty-tam) and referred to the fact that all southerners call it Sharpsburg. Gen eral Gordon hoped to sell his booh in the north and he called the battle Antietam. I have heard him time and again refer to it as the battle oi Sharpsburg. A few weeks ago Sena tor Bacon of Georgia and I were com ing home together in the same; car and he was telling me about weeing my father's wound and in speaking of the battle always referred to it as Sharpsburg. Last summer Mr. W. G. Peterson, of Newberry, my brother Joe and I visited the battlefield and the spot where my father was wounded. Gen eral Lee's headquarters were in the pretty village of Sharpsburg and his troops entered the fight from that sec tion, coming from the Potomac river. The Union forces advanced from the ?

That same day I talked to many old soldiers there and at Harper's Ferry, who were in Jackson's corps, Stuart's cav alry and two who were in Longstreet's corps and every one of them spoke of it as the battle of Sharpsburg. Northern people call Mannassas by the name of Bull Run, I suppose be cause they had to Cross Bull Run creek to get in to the fight, and re cross it in a terrific rush tt) get out and away.
