ng a public road. The road is one that
tarts out from the Belfast road between
dr. Floyd's house and Sandy Rue

ection. A carefully prepared map of I
he roads, rivers and creeks of that lo
ality was put in evidence, and quite a 1
mumber of citizens of the neighborhood t
vere examined as witnesses. The Tri
Ll Justice, after hearing the case for

Fhe Barbecue at the DeWalt Place,
In No. 10 Township Thursday was
iot largely attended; only about one
mndred and 6fty.persons were present.
Che dinner was well prepared. There
vas dancing during the morning, and

-iail Storm.
A severe bail storm occurred in the
iorthern portion of the County Friday
ifternoon. On the Kinard Place, own
d by Mrs. Dr. Mayer, and rented by;
Srr. W. W. Riser, the damage to the
,rops, especially cotton, was great.
)n the Gilliam Place, also rented by
Mr. Riser, the damage was heavy. Mr.
R~iser estimates that about two hundred
cores of his cotton has been nearly ru
ned by the hail. The storm was very
evere, and some of the stones were as
arge as guinea eggs. Other farms that
mu&.red are Mr. F. H. Dominick's Rich

were also serio'usly in jured. Trhe storm
extended up into Laurens County.

ExTreasurer Whites in .Jail.
Ex-Treasurer UI. B. Whites was ar
rested Monday afternoon,1l4th, by Sher
if Wheeler upon a warrant issued by
state Treasurer John Peter Richardson,
mnd was committed to jail. The war
rant .was issued in r.ccordance with
Section 36 of Cliapter 17 of the Revised
Statutes, which reads as follows:
"Any County Treasurer who shall
neglect to pay over to the (State) Tress
2rer the amount in his hands belonging
o the State, or for which he has made
nimself liable, as required by law, shall
as liable to be committed to jail by a
warrant from the (State) Treasurer,
which shall ha directed to all the Sher
ifs of the State, who shgli be bound in
heir several Counties to yield strict
>bedience to the same, under penalty
af liability for neglect of duty; and
such County. Treasurer shall remain in
strict custody until he shall have ren
:lered account, and paid over the taxes
'for which he is accountable." Section
39 makes it imperative on the State
freasurer to issue his warrant in such
~ases. There is nothing said in this
new law (1868) in regard t.6 bail; but
be old law of 1788, from which it is
:aken, did not allow bail.
As to whether the law is Constitution
i admits of a doubt.

Rion. M A Carlisle, Pres't Newberry
Dem. Convention :
DEAa Siix-My candidacy makes it
yroper and incumbent that I resign my
yosition on the Newberry County Ex.
Jommittee; which I hereby do through
iou: that my place may be filled in the
isual way. I would very much like to
e with you on the 12th to express to
be whbole people of New berry, through
heir representatives in Convention as
embled, how highly and gratefully I
ippreciate the cordial endorsement and
oupport I have had from them; and also
he hope that I may never cause them
o regret it. As to the office, it is mine;
hey have told me to get it, and I am
ound to have it and by votes at that.
Please express my profound thanks to
he Convention and through them to the
aeople.
Very respectially, &c.,
JAS. N. IPSCOMB.
Y J Pope moved that the resignation
me accepted, and that the delegates
rom No. 7 choose some person to be a
:nember of the Executive Committee
prom their Township-adopted. Gen.
A C Garlington was chosen, and, on
notion.. of Y J Pope, the choice was
:-atified by the Convention. Y J Pope,
Dhairinan, presented the re*port of the
2ounty Executive Committe, whiche
was taken up and considered .seriatin.
The Committee ricomm' nded that the|
aumber of delegates to future Conven-I
:ions- be double the present number
tdopted without opposition. The comn
mittee farther recommended that it be
s.uthorized to revise and fix the proixar
tion of delegates to the Convent ion~ to
which each Township is entitied. It
was moved to adopt this recommend~a
~ion. Geo. Johnstone opposed the wo
ion, and insisted that representation in
he Conventions should be apportioned
apon the basis of club membership, iiu
tead of upon the number of Democratic
roters in the Townships. Such a plan
would cause the people to take an ac
:ive, vital interest in political matters.
and would make them come out to the
::lubs. Y J Pope spoke for the motion.
[le said the matter had been carefully
::onsidered by the committee; that dele
gates are nernt to the Convention not to
represent the young and active on lv,
but all Democrats, aLnd we want all to
feel that th. ir rights have be-n respet
ed. L W Simxkin.' spi ke for the mo
tion. He said that the number of dee
gates being fixed at 222, it wais neces
mary to apportion these among the
Townships; that the several clubs in a'
Trownship wouIN th.en apportion these
delegates among themselves in accor4
ance with the number of their member?
ship. A C Garlington moved, as an
amendment, that the representation in
the County Convention be fixed upon
the basis.of the voting population-re
gardless of polities-in each Township
-in the same way that delegates are
aortioned to the State Convention
from the seve:al .Connues. On motion
of Mr. Johnstone, Mr. (arlingonni
amendment was laid on the table. n
James Packer spoke for the motion. n
The motion was put, and tie recom- I
mendation of the committee was adop- tl
ted. The plan for conducting the pri- p
mary election, as reported by the Ex- to
ecutive Committne. was considered by
sections, and was adopted withont d
change. It consists of nineteen sec- n
tions, and is, with very slight altera
tions, the same as two years ago. (We b
have not space for it in full this week; si
but will publish it bereafter-next week,
if possible.) The first section provides a
that the first primary election shall be c
held the 12th of September. Sections
2 and 3 remain as they o ere two years
ago. Section 4 provides that the Coun
ty Executive Committee (instead of the
Managers) shall provide the boxes;
there is the same provision for separate sl
apartments for the different offices to be
voted for. Sections 5, 6. 7 and 8 re
main as before. In Section 9 the pro
vision for challenges by bystanders hag sl
been stricken out, so that now chal
lenges must be made through the Man
agers. Sections 10. 11 and 12 remain
as before. Section 13 provides that the b,
second primary election shall be held _
the 23d of September. Sections 14, 15 n
and 16 remain as before. Section 17
provides that when the Executive Com
mittee shall meet (on Tuesday following
the primary election) to tabulate the '
returns and declare the result such com
mittee shall remain in session for two
hours after such declaration, during i
which time all protests and contests t
must be filed with the committee. See
tions 18 and 19 remain as before. There h
was no opposition to any of the sections
except 19, (which provides for a prima- d
ry election for Treasurer and Auditor).
T S Moorman spoke against this sec
tion. He said that le was in favor of
leaving the responsibility of these ap- Ii
pcintments to the Governor, to whom,
by law, they properly belonged. If he h
needs information as to suitable ap
pointments let him consult the legisla- C
tors. Geo. Johnstone favored the sec
tion. He said the Governor must have
information from some source, and he p
could get this information better from
the people than in any other way. Y P
J Pope also favored the section. He
said he believed the bbst source of the
Governor's informatid was the people;
that the collective wisdom of the people a
was superior to that of four legislators. 1
J W Stockman also favored the motion.
lie said that to leave out that section t
would "break up the Democratic par- f
tv." The section was adopted by an
alost unanimous vote. J W Stock
m:an moved to add another section pro
viding for selecting Trial Justices by C
primary election, and made a speech in
behalf of his motion. Messrs. Pope and n
Johnstone spoke against it. and on mo- ti
tion of Mr. Pope, it was laid on the ta
'le. On motion of C B Buist, the
th-nks of the Convention were tendered '
to Chairman Carlisle and Secretaries 9
Simkins and Kilgore for the manner in F
which they had discharged their respec- F
tive duties. Y J Pope moved that the
proceedings of the Convention be fur
nished to the Newberry papers, with
thanks for their courtesies in the past.
[The HERAL, being present makes its
own report of the proceedings; but
thanks the Convention all the same for "
its kind remembrance.] On motion, F
the Convention, at 2.50 P. M., adjourn- f
ed sine die.

ment yet obtained against the Agricul
tural Society, and that none could be
obtained befote Sale-day in September, h
and the Grounds would, therefore, not
be sold then. The committee asked for a
further time, which, on naotion of Y J
Pope, was granted.
M A Carlisle, for Committee on Con-d
stitution, reported the Constitution found 9
below. Y J Pope moved that the re
port he received as information, and t<

Gallons of i ik, thousands of p.-ts and
,y quantity of fon!::cap hare been used in
counting the gailant deeds in arms and
rroic struggles of the men who fought in
h lte ur:pleasantness, but not a word has
en written of he glorious part taken by
e 13th Regt., S. C. V, in this, one of
e most memorable struggles of the con
derate war.
An eye witness and a participant in the
tttle which it is my privilege to d rii,e,
akes it an easy and a same ti:a,e a
eaSaat task, and my bosom even now
trills with ermotiorn when I recall it, though
aarly two decades have con:e and gone
ace then, . and many of the boys sleep
eir last sleep on distant battlefields and
quiet grftes at home. All the living
embers of the Companies who took part
this engagement, will read the account
ith satisaction, though the eye may dim
ith moisture as they fight it over again in
tagination.
It was a pleasant, balmy afternoon in the
11 of'til, while the 13th were in e.c,mp on
e historic race course of Charleston; in
gh. of the p!aci.d waters of the beautiful
4hley, that our quiet was broken by the
st rude alarm of war, or rath.:r the poasi
e appr-au., m a co:iision. E"it , t.leep
g and drilling made up the daily routine
camp life, none of the great battles had
rt been fought, and like so many Nor-,
Ile's we "longcd to follow to the field
me warlike chief." Here was the oppor
nity, and ;he order to ttrike tents and
ove was hailed with delight. Quickly-but
vkwardly the work was begun, and soon
ir beautiful ca--p was tto more. "The
urs did beat ro ier:ily," :.s at ' u'lock
e "tramp, tramp, tramp," was made for
stant fi-Ids and perhaps a sprinkling of
ory.
Grossing the Ashley the eom.nandl hdted,
id the unititiatei thoug, t it was hte:a the
temy were to be met aiid pt to al.ugh
r. But the thirsty sword drank no blood
at evening. After waiting and groping
)out, rationless and consequently hungry,
r two hours, we were herded like cattle
box cars and started on the road i., the
rec:ion of Savannah.
What a night it proved, there were no
;hts, no water, and not e ven a hard tack,
.tious having been reduced to an exceed
gly fine point the day before. But it is a
ug night which has no ending, and this
ie so full of discomtorts was no exception.
t four o'clock the train stopped, and the
toped up soldiers, who had for hours been
ribbed, cabined and confined," hailed
ith joy the order to get out. The disem
trkation took place in a cut, steep banks
i either side, and the scene Coosawhatchie,
at is what could ae seen of it, the night
ing very dark, and fieree clouds sweeping
rer the heavtens. -'limbing the cut and
:tiog on the level, the boys set out, after
ipositing accontrements, in search of. what
>id be found, and. they found it in the
tape of an old, dilapidated two-story frame
uilding, which judging by its forlorn, iso
.ted appearance, looked as if long ago it
ad ceased to be a covering for human
ead. A dozen hands commenced the work
[ demolition, and a pile of weatherboards
ere soon ripped off th-! frame to build a
re with. The noise of ripping planks
rought to life and to an upper window two
Id and withered dames, capless and clad in
:antiest wrappers, and following -.e appa
tion came the sound of their frightened
oices, begging that their shelter be left to
tem. An appeal from women in night
aps proved irresistable, and the gallant
uad of the 13th retired in sorrowful con
ision. There is no resisting woman, and
have no doubt that every mothers son of
2e party remembered that his mother was
woman.
By this time the coming day had begun
, streak the East with lihbt, and the out.
ne of two other frame buildings could be
iade out. Making for these, one of them
ras entered, and was fot.and to.be the castle
nd shop of a r.'d-headed Irishman, with
nkempt hair and beard, who had evidently
een in att.endance on a "wake" the nigh:
efore, for he was awake at this time, and
sked what in the "name of the mother of
[oses, the soger boys would be afther hay
ag now." Being told that something to
at was then needed, we were informed that
te "contints of the store" were ours The
contnts" did not prove much, and con
isted of about a bust.el of potatoes, a doz
n or two of eggs and I blush toi add a
tsart of he juice so d1ear to t'pe olid yete,
an. Q.cekly gpvppriating them and
banking the store keeper, the squad conm
senced the backward movement, and when
ist at the door th. quick, sharp "recall" of
be drum was heard waking the echoes of
leeping Coosawhatchie.
And now for the recid. of~ one of the
sost remarkable and! excci:ine events in the
istory of the war, and if the reader has
ny tears to shed, he can shed t.hesn now.
omething was out, but what, that was the
uestion. The intervening space was soon
overed, and as the boys reached the spot,
bey heard the command 'fall in, fall in,"
husky tones. The next order, "!oad as
on run double-quick,"mnade hearta leap into
iouths, and unused to war in this sudden
shion, there was trepidation, yet in a mo
sent each man nerved himself, and felt 4'is
aul inarmse and eager for th,e fray." I
>oked -arond and abo-.t the old apple
ree against which I had leaned my old
rusty nirelock, but looked in vain, no gun
rias there. Momenits were precious, the
nemy might even now be making a fl1nk
sovement and strike us hip and thigh, the
ten were in line, so I slipped into ranks,
aIling out the number of niy gu:, "52." It
ras handed me by Dave S., has why in his
ossession I could not discover, unless he
ranted r,w gans with which to do double

tille we were halted on a rickety bridge
rhich spanned th~e dark, murky waters of

rasped rides, and victory or death shown
every eye.
Of the three ecmpsnies cailedi out in this
ngagemen.t two had a few rouznds of am
tunition, the other trusted to the persua
yve influence of the bayonet alone, but we
rlt. equal to the emergency. I: was our
est call to meet the foe, and the reader
ill appreciate the situation and .fancy our
telings. The privates, of course, were iti
be dark as to the sudden call to arm, and
ot a few of them thought that the offcerg
rere in a like state of ignoranc7.- f.ur ofli
ers though inezperierced ye knew to be
rave, and after a few miniutes on the open
ridge, they showed a caution only equalled
y veterans in placing the command in a
osition more strategetic. Leaving the
ridge the companies with ammunition
