Mu?.rous (!>rv'KK : Camp lifo has it? charms, 'asoinatiohs and attrac tions, when ono is camped beside some quiet b ook or in BOnte distant mountain, where freedom is supreme. There it means rest from tho weary cares and toils of business. Tho rose is brought back to tho cheek, paled by constant strain of eleven months in tho year, a ronowod vigor is instilled into the system and tho step becomes firm and elastic. It is grand and peoplo travel hundreds of miles to enjoy its charms. Army life has its charms, fascina tions and attractions. There are many drawbacks, however, to tho raw recruit which he fails to appre ciate, especially so to our well-fed, freedom-loving, easy-going South Carolina youth, who has boon used to placing his feet uiidur his father's table three times a day tho yoar round and enjoying a square moah Camp lifo in tho army means a strict observance of military disci pline. It means that you must bo up at 6 o'clock in the morning and in bed by 9.80 at night ; also, when one ventures to go beyond the bounds of his camp he is confronted by a stern sentinel and n Springfield rille. However, hero at Chieka mangn we have a radius of twolvo miles square lor a camp ; so we arc not cramped. At .r> o'clock we have roll call ; atC breakfast ; from 0.20 to 7 wo sweep tho company streets and pol ico thc eamp generally ; from 7.80 to 9.80 we drill ; from 9.80 to 1 .any special detail service that arises in the division. At 1 wo have dinner ; from I until 8.80 we have holiday ; from 8.80 until n.:50 we drill ; nt 0 we have retreat ; at 7 guard mount ; at 7.30 supper ; at ?) roll call ; at 9.30 taps. Chiokamauga is tho ideal of n camp, its stately oaks furnishing a cool shade throughout the day. It is indeed a beautiful place and the men generally, not on duty, have tli<! privilege of the park. Visiting among the different regiments is one of the pleasing features of our life, and we meet many people we have known in earlier days. I met a school-mate the other day who is with a Vermont regiment and an old friend with ono from Nebraska. Thus in this conglomeration of d8,000 mriii we have a reunion . of friends o'" oays gone by. Here we see all classes and sections brought together side hy side. On one side is Pennsylvania, on the other Minne sota, in tho center South Carolina. "Robs and Yanks" united under one common brotherhood, lighting for one common country and one com mon banner. Barring several un pleasant incidents connected with tho "negro," several Pennsylvania coal miners and some of our South Carolina hoys, everything shows that both classes are glad to join hands ami bury the past, lloro we see a Tillman and an Karie, com manding side hy side under n Penn sylvanian and Indinnaian. Surely thirty-five years have wrought great changes. Vet on this historic ground we are quits anyhow, for didn't, the Confederates pound tho Van ks into a jelly ami leave thousands of their dead here ? Tho little white marks of their resting placo remind us both alike that we may also go the same way at thc hands of our common foo, It was a boomerang that rebounded a year later when Sherman pounded Braggs so unmercifully, and thus bridge the backbone of the Confede racy. Wo are on sacred ground. Then; is no time for petty q uar rois, but we, both North and South, here unite our hands over the graves of our beloved dead, and as wo shed a tear forever brush away tho past. Who knows what the future holds for us? Tho South Carolina regiment is Weil managed and is fast being trained for the Meld. We are being equipped as rapidly as possible. We have been instructed to make an extra requisition for clothing, which will bo issued at once. This is for campaign work, and from that it looks ns if our days hore are few. Thc commissary department has rush orders in equip j.? immediately. Thc regiment is rejoiced over Gen. Loo's request that wo bo placed under his command. Tho health of the regiment is excel lent, with the exception of some camp disorders that aro natural to thc changed condition of living.

The Ked Cross is doing good work among tho sick, furnishing many delicacies that thc sufferers woidd not otherwise get. There surely must bo heroines among tho noble women who have given up so much to come to nurse tho sick soldiers. Jiy thc way, a woman's voico In the First just now would sound like a whippoorwill in early spring, and as for myself I think I would bo con tent to bo put to sleep by a Spanish bullet just to hear a baby's voice foi five minutes, even if it were erying.

They will not bo satisfied until tho Spanish Hag is wiped from this side-of thc Atlantic, and if thc Spaniards have murdered Hobson and his men the dirty rag must gc from tho face of the earth forever.

Somu wcoks ago tho Ivarn and stable of lid ward Hughes woro burned. Mr. Hughes lives about six miles from l?atesvillo. It was bo lioved that tlie buildings woro fi roil by an incendiary, and suspicion rested on .John Parks, a negro 1 i vi ny on Mr. Hughes' farm. Tho evidence against Parks wa? not sufficient ta causo his arrest, hut thor? was n strong feeling against him, whieli culminated Wednesday night about midnight. Stories of what occurred differ widely in important respects. It is certain, howovor, that about midnight Parks was aroused hy s hammering on the door of his house, accompanied by a demand that he COmc to tho door with a light. II if story is that he refused to open UH door and an attack was nt once made tho door fastenings were broken and a dozen or more mon rushod into tlx room. Parks says ho had suspect?e a lynohing party and was prepared, and as the crowd rushed in he opened lire with a double barrelled shotgun Tho first load tore off the loft arm of James M. Jones, between lix olbow and shoulder. Tho result of thc second load was not serious, being only the peppering of a man J named Fowler from Spartanburg county, and ono other whose name could not bo learned. Parks sayf tho raiders then opened lire on him willi pistols, but he escaped unhurt and that they thou withdrew from the house to look after tho wounded but soon returned and began a fusil ade, firing into the house througli door and window. A son of Parks, about eight yean old, received two wounds, om through the left wrist and tho ollie in the left side, tho bullet pnssinj through his body. Yesterday Dr White extracted the bullet from tin right side of llic hoy. Tho docto thinks this wound will provo fatal Parks returned to his home yestor day. On the other hand, friends of th white men say tho party went t< Parks' house to got informatio i about tho burning, that ho fired a them from the house and that th boy was hurt when this fire was re turned from outside.

Coleman : lioprosonting tho "Oncc-i\-Wook Club," I ox tc ul a welcome to you, our sister club women, who, in an swer to our call, are with us to-day. It was not without great solicitude that our littlo band assumed tho re sponsibility of calling this conven tion, but, buoyed up by an ardent desire to soe the club women of our loved State in stop with our sister States, wo put into abeyance tho fact of tho narrow attractions offered by so young a city as ours, and armed with a determination to dare and do, we propose to nurture in our simple way tho infant Federation, striving to make up what ia wanting in attraction and elegance by gener ous woleomo. AH WO look into your faeea we arc inspired with a glow of glad pride at tho result of our temer ity, and we soe' a possibility of an organization-which, not as Dickens would (?itt it, a transparency with a feeble light behind it, hut a vivid panorama illumined by a sunburst of earnest thought that will solve tho riddle of mental and moral progress of our day. 1MPKI.I.KI) UV CONSKRVATISM. We see our club women falling into line and keeping step* with others whose conservatism has im pelled them to engage in a work the most helpful and inspiring of all other work to those who are seeking a wholesome as well as optimistic philosophy of life. Whon we know of hundreds, yen thousands, of women all over thc land working earnestly and zealously for the common good, we can feel that the woman's club is a potent factor in thc progress of our national life. Our modern civilization, im proved school systems and scion ti fi< teaching have done much for hu manity, yet a broad and fruitful fi old templa us to its tilling. We of South Carolina have ohing to thc prejudices of tho past Home what tenaciously, yet wo fool am" know that the day is fast approach ing when precedent will ho throwi lo the winds, and, catching the inspi ration, we move onward, clinging tv whatever is lovely, whatsoever is o good report, above all, whatsoever i? womanly. We have our clubs, om (.lui) workers, and tho exigency arisci for organized effort. Can we sim our eyes to the fact that the work has less and less to say to the lag gard? 'Ile who wins must run tin raee Well." Wc see and know that unless wi essay a contact with those whosi presence and words are an inspira lion, and are thereby enabled to kee] in touch with lifo, wo see the worh spinning away,, and tho fact grow emphatic that we arc impotent b cheek it. 1 NTIC I.I, Ki !T P Al., CIVIC ANO Pilli.AN TI1K01MO.

At tho beginning of woman's dubs thoy were along tho cultural lino exclu sively. Tho literary club of othor days was tho outgrowth of natural refinement, but this work, hedged in, as it wore, rovolved in a narrow way, and its results wcro narrowed down to tho exclusivo few ; it failed to reach the masses ; that vast army of patient toilers who aro in thc great est need of a few rays of sunshino in their everyday lifo.

UNITED STATES BONDS. ^ Secretary Gago tixplalus Their Nnture io tho l?eopIo. _t-, Tho COUKWK is in receipt of tho following circular lotter, dated at tho Tronsury Dopnrtmont, Washington, Juno 13, signed by L. J. Gage, and giving full information ns to tho nature, characteristics and incidents of tho government loan now pending : UNITKO STATHH CONOS. United States bonds aro recognized ns the most secure and stable form of obligation that investors can hold. They aro attractive, not only hucauso of tho absoluto security offered, but because there is at all times a public market for them on which holdors can quickly sell ; and thoy also offer the most dcsirablo form of collateral if tho hokier wishes to sccuro a tem porary loan. Tho fact that United States bonds are not subject to taxes of any character-Federal, Stato or municipal-is a valuable feature of that form of investment. United States bonds are issued in both cou pon and registered form. COUPON BONDS. A coupon bond is payable to tho hearer. It may bo bought and sold without formality as freely as any kind of property and without indorse ments of any kind. Owing to tho freedom of transfer, coupon bonds arc usually preferred by persons who expect to hold them but a short | time. Their disadvantage tor tho person who wishes to make a perma nent investment lies in th danger that they might he lost or BU len, in which ease the loss to the owner would boas complete as wo aid. ho tho loss of a bank note. Tho coupon bonds take their name from tho me thod by which interest is collected by thc holder. Printed on thc samo sliect with bond is a series of coupons or small certificates of interest due, which aro so designed that one is cut off at each interest period, if.ach coupon bears tho number of tho bond and shows tho dale of the coupon's matur ity. The holder of a soupon bond, at each interest period, detaches thc coupon due that day and collects it. Thc coupons arc payable at any sub treasury, and may be collected through any bank, and will usually bo aeeepted by any merchant having a bank account, with whom tho holder of tho bond has dealings. Tho holder of a coupon bond may at any time have it converted into a regis tered bond free of charge. KKGIBTKRHD HONDS. A registered bond is payable to tho order of thc owner, and can only be transferred by being properly in dorsed and assigned by tho ownor. Such assignment is made hy thc j owner (Illing in tho blank form on the baok of tho bond, and must bo witnessed by some officer authorized by tho regulations of tho treasury department to witness assignments. The owner of tho registered bond who wishes to part with it writes his name on the back of the bond in thc presence of thc officer ; thon tho witnessing officer writes his name in its proper place and aili ves an im pression of his official seal. The officers who are authorized to witness assignments are a United States Judge, United States District Attorney, Clerk of a United States Court, Collector of Customs, Collec tor or Assessor of Internal Rovonue, United States Treasurer or Assistant Treasurer, or tho President or Cash ier ol National Hank, or if in a for eign country, a 1 Tn ?ted States Min ister or Consul, in cases whore there is no officer within a reasonable distance, pr whoo, through sickness or somo other good reason, tho owner of registered bonds cannot go before om; of these officers, the Tronsury Department will designate some person near the owner to act as wit ness. When the owner of a registered bond disposes of it and has properly assigned it, he delivers it lo the now owner, who should at onco forward it to thc ??\-gistor of thc Treasury for transfer on tho hook of tho department. Tho Register oanools thc bond so forwarded and issues a now bond in tho name of tho new owner, and sends it to him by regis tered maii. Tho department makes no charge for transform*" 1 ' .
