About 3 o'clock we drove Into Richland just in Hine to seo the Richland school snugly tucked away In a largo four-horse wagon, well Ulled with straw and drawn hy four splendid black mules, kindly turnlshed by Charles L.

In answer to our word of encouragement, ho shook his manly little head and said ho would do his best, and well he did. Our men all being ready, Seneca's men were soon placed and the word "go" was given at 3.3,0 o'clock at tho large sycamore in front of S. X. Hughs'. Robert Davis led off for Richland and went away In great shape and when he reached the hill across Richland creek be fairly ran away from Seneca's man, Alarie McMahan, and finished tit) yards ahead, giving his brother, "little Dillie." a good lead, and in vain did Seneca's man Vernor try to overtake him, but Rill, like Aunt Jorusha Perkins's turkey, he "'v.^.s made when times was hon est" and saw nothing in front of him until Roger Coo took his place in front. Coe did his best and did it well, but Seneca's long-legged Will Strlbllng out reached him, and they finished with Seneca some 20 yards in the lend. Rut. hore Jesse Hub bard caught up Richland, and Rich land and the Hubbards don't know how to stay bohlnd, so he was oven with Oscar Doyle at tho half-way point and ran ont 2fi yeards ahead, and he looked as though he had up enough speed and steam to run to Clemson before ho stopped.
