To the Editor of the D;spatch:
The Brookland Light Iofantry,Co. j
M., 2i S C Y. Rjgt, left Brookland !
Saturday, Sept 3 and marched over I
the bridge to the City of Columbia, j
where tbey boarded the train via A j
C L., forty-three strong, all in good j
spirits, lively but not boisterous. The
company was lunched on the train at
Florence, where'they were also furnished
with haversacks, canteens, tin
plates, tin cups, water buckets,
spoons, knives and forks, after which
W8 proceeded on our way viaFayettsville,
N. C, Rocky Mount, N C,
Richmond, Gordounville, Manassas,
to this place, Thouroughfare, Va.,
rbout twelve miles west of Manassas,
where we arrived about o o'clock p.
m. Sunday 4th. On our arrival we
were marched out into an old field
not far from the foot of the mountain.
It being late when we were assigned
our camp ground we had to bivouac
without tents or shelter tff any kiDd
and the nights being cold out here,
the men euffered from the cold chilly
winds of the mountains. Monday
? roitli Ar\rv
morning we were imuioucu muu
or fly tents, one for every two men,
also with an army camp range for
cooking, choking utensils, wood anu |
coal for fire and everything that is j
needed to make camp life agreeable.
Our rations consist of fresh beef,
canned beef, bacon, I-ish potatoes,
onions, beans, pork and beans, sugar,
coffee, rice, tomattoes, blackberry
jam, pickles, vinegar, pepper, salt,
candles, etc. Iq addition to the
above we huy apples, peaches, chickens,
eggs, butter, pies of all kinds
and sweet milk in abundance at from
5 to 10 cents a quaat.
I have not the time or space to
give you an extended account of the
trip, the country surrounding the
battle that is now raging, &c , will
say just here, however, that Capt. R.
L. Shuler'e company, the Broobiand
Light Infantry, Co. M-, 2nd S. C.
Regt., acquitted itself nicely and was

It was sent out to support
Capt. Black's company from Walter- !
boro, S. C., and being deployed in I
reserve behind a ten rail stske and
rider fence. When the opposing 1
line opened fire upon our men who I
were beiog bard pressed, quicker

with one bound mounted the fence
and ov: r they went and on into the
thickest of the bittle about two huudred
yards to the front, in support of
C-ipt. Black's company, who were
now bein^ hard pressed by the
enemy. In order to reach Capt
Black in time this company had to
climb a steep hill in double quick
time, take shelter behind another
fence before the enemy could reach
said point. The company executed
this manuver in excellent order,
saved Capt. Black's company from
capture and defeat aDd was thereby
highly complimented for being instrumental
in their efforts which accomplished
the defeat of the Blues
i at ADtioch church Sept. 7tb, 1904.
The boys after having been out all
night before last was brought in after
the engagement yesterday and went
into camp last night and had a good
night's rest, after which with two
days rations they left again this
morning at 10 o'clock and are now on
the march to Manassas, where they
will engage in battle again today.
I can hear the cannon now
firing at Manassas, twelve miles dis|
tant from here.
Our boys are all nicely behaved
and are to be complimented on having
such kind, courteous and gentlemanly
officers as Captain Shuler,
LeiutenaDts Gayden and Sbull, who
are all doing everything in their
power to make the boys comfortable
and satisfied.
If nothing prevents we will leave
camp for home od Monday morning
next, the 12:b, and will arrive in
Columbia next day. B )ya all in excellent
health and have plenty to eat,

Lexington, S. G.
Dear Sir: Some think we take a
good deal of risk in inviting complaints
of Devoe lead-and-zinc?we
authorize our agent to sell it under
this guarantee:
"If you have any fault to find with
this paint, either now in putting it
on, or hereafter in the wear, tell
your dealer about it.
"We ausnonze didj 10 uo wuat ia i
right at our expense."
The following story tells how little I
the risk is:
J. H. Asher & Co., hardware dealers,
Khineback, N. Y, sold Devoe
from '7G to now; have sold thousands 7
of gallons and have had just one
complaint in all this time.
Three sides of a house were perfect;
the fourth was as bad as the i
three were good. I
Explanation?It rained the night \
before the fourth side was painted; |
and the painters didn't wait for the I
wood to dry.
What is done in such a case? "
Whatever the dealer, who sold the
paint, considers it fair to do. We
leave it to him. He may not do exactly
what we should do if we were J
there: but we are not there. The ei
best we can do is to leave it to him. h<
Yours truly, 1(
F. W. Devoe & Co ,
New York.
P. S. The Kaufmann Drug Co.,
sells our paint.
