Aiken's Absentees. The weather has been remarkably comfortable thus far this summer wh ich no doubt keeps many from going to the sea-side or mountains A number of our people are out oi town, however. The following are enjoying the sea- breeze at Sullivan’s Island: Mrs. Gaines Ashley and children, Mrs. Groning, Mrs. M. A. Chafee, and Mrs. Walpole and children. Mr. and Mrs. P. A. Enp-.nuel have gone to Blowing Rock, N. C., which is getting quite popular with Ai ken ites. Miss M. E.

The heavy rains made the regular ground unfit to play on, so the game was play ed on Mr. Henry .Smith’s lot. At the opening Messrs. Oakley and Blaylock formed the battery for the Aikenites and Messrs. Maloney and Knoll for the visitors. Maloney had a verv de- ceivingdelivery and at first it lookedas if the Blaekvilles, would go home vic tors. After the fifth inning Hard was put in the box with Giles to catch, and by that time the Aiken’s had “caught 011“ to Rnog so that appar ent defeat was wrested from tiie Blaekvilles. The following is the score by innings: Blaekville, 1 « 1 1 0 2 0 2 0-13 Aikens, 10 10 1 15 -fChe Sunday-School! Conventiq meets on Fridae, July 23d, at live Methodist Church at 10 a. m.

Moseley, one of the enter prising faamers of the Levels, with two of the lagest melons we have seen this season. They were of the Cobb gem variety, and the larges! would have weighed over thirty-five pounds. Such generous deeds are worthy of imitation. Tire next meeting of the Edisto Baptist Sunday-school Convention will be held with the Aiken Bapti. t church and sunday-school on Thurs day before the second Sunday in Au gust next, at 11 o’clock a. m. The introductory sermon will be preached by Rev. J. C. Browne or A. W. Moseley, the missionary sermon by Rev. L. Cuthbert or Rev. H. L. Bag- gott. Our esteemed friend, Mrs. W. J. Courtney, presented us yesterday with one of the largest, hardest and finest heads of cabbage from hei splendid garden that we have seen this season. The ladies are the fast friends of the Rkcouiu.k, and we are glad of it. An editor can hold out against the world, the llesh and the Devil, for an indefinite period if he onlv lias tiie ladies on his side. 16 In our article on Langley and its surroundings we accidently oniTic . the name of Mr. B. G. Par.lue from jhe list of merchants. Mr. Purdue is an enterprising and industrious young man, is a native of Aiken County and is doing a large an l prof:table trade in groceries. He moved to Langley about two .years ago win re he has become a popular and useful citizen. themselves about the grounds in or derly group-, discussing the news of the day an 1 sometimes rehearsing the sufferings and hardships borne under tiie stars and bars to friendly and eager listeners. About half-past ten o’clock Capt. Elbert Gunter formed his veterans in iine, and after cautioning them that each man should consider himself a committee of one to preserve tiie best oforder the company was dismissed. In the.mean time a temporary stand had been erected and Lieutenant Mansell Gunter introduced Col. C. E. it. Drayton, who delivered an address of some 25 or Si) minutes devoted ex clusively to interesting points in the history of this noble band rtf Confed erate survivors, Lieut. Mansell Gun ter next introduced Mr. D. H. Cros- land and after him Mr. O. C. Jordan, both of these gentlemen made speeches which were well received and which were appropriate to the occasion. This ended the speaking. The dinner hour having arrived the large Crowd was invited to assemble at the tables, the ladies on one side and . the gentlemen on the other, which was done with the utmost de corum. The tables groaned under the weight of a bountiful repast and the best of order prevailed not only at the table, but throughout the entire day. As for ourselves, we accepted the hearty invitation of our estimable fellow-citizen, Mr. Marshall Gunter, and dined with him and his family in a shady nook where we fared sumptuously on substantials and deli cacies and enjoyed the luxury of a comfortable scat. Dinner being now over the young people betook themselves to the sehooihouse where they engaged in the pleasures of the dance while their elders enjoyed themselves on the out side in accordance with their taste aud inclinations. We cannot close this necessarily brief account, as we only reached our office yesterday at 2 o’clock, without saying a word as to the personnel of Company I, 20th S. ('. Volunteer:?. This Com pan j - was known in time of peace as the Edisto Rifles. It was organized for service in the Confeder ate arni3' Nov. 27th, 1860, under the command of Capt. J. 2*1. Jones, aud became Companj' I of the 20th R-gi- ment commanded by the gallant Col onel Keit. In May, l f (>2, it was re- irganized and volunteered for the war under the following officers: Captain. Elbert Gunter; 1st Lieut., J. E. Coleman; 2nd Lieut., Mansell G infer; 3rd Lieut., Leroy Gunter. 2i.e number cniisle ! in tins compare during the war was 175. The highest dreng! h at any one time was 125. The average n umber present for duty was 75,and the death roil, in service, num bers 35. The company was raised princip ally from that portion of ^Lex ington now included in AikonUMqutj’. This company wak remarkable for tuber oli®. 1 ’ members who and many of whom were of UieMai^ie name. On the roll were about 31 Grmters, about 12 Garvins and about the saniTHUunber of Gantts, besides a good many Fool’s and Jones’. Tiie company with its regiment was engaged in the defence of Sulli van, Morris and James islands, ami all the hard work that was done around Charleston up to May, 18<4, when the 20th was sent to Virginia, where it participated in nearly all ot the terrible battles around Petersburg and Richmond during that memora ble summer. It was afterwards transferred to Early’s arm3 r corps of .the Shenandoah Vuliey and finallj* to Sou Mi Carolina where it surrendered with the rest of Johnson’s army. About sixty veterans survive. This in brief, is the simple story of a corps which was over true in upholding the honor of South Carolina and held its place among tiie bravest of the brave at a tjmo which tried the truest hearts. Time and space will not permit us to extend this report. We left the reunion about four o’clock in the after noon and brought up under the hos pitable roof of our esteemed friend Mr. Martin 8aiie.y where we passed the night,and were the recipient of the most generous attention from bin s If his amiable lady and all the members of Ids lamilj'. The next da3*, Sunday, we attended Dean Swamp Church, Ui.it across the borders oi Aiken Counly inOrangehurg,where we found a very* large congregation, and heard a splendid senium from the Rev. riiraui LeCro\*, from the 6lh and 7th verses of the 25th chapter of Isaiah. The Rev. J. A. Seigler was also pres ent, and delivered an earnest exhorta tion after the sermon. This was the first da.v of a protracted meeting, which will probably last throughout the week. Having accepted the courteous in vitation of the Hon. John G. Guig- nard, extended the evening before, we dined at his liouse,and enjoyed the hospitalities of his most interesting famiQV.
