A WAR SKETCH. Editors Intelligencer : I forgot to give the date of our little battle at West Point in my last. It was on the 7th day of May. 1862. You will not see it recorded in any of the school histories, I don't think. Neverthe? less, it was one of the battles of the war?not of the rebellion, as the yan koes want to term it?but the war be? tween the States, and will be remem? bered by a great many of us as our initiatory battlo. Ben White, a re? cruit, who went out when I did, amused us a good deal that day by warning us constantly to keep a sharp look out for sharp-shooters up the trees. It was a very common practice with the yankees to climb trees and sharp-shoot at us at long range. The night we left the "West Point battle ground we marched the entire night and until up in the day the next day, passing New Kent Court House and close to where George Washington first met his wife. Rain set in and we had a muddy march of it from that time until we got to Richmond, stop? ping to wait on the wagon train and the heavy Artillery to get across the Chickahominy at a Church a mile or two from the Chickahominy. "While there a farmer living near our camp had a large quantity of leaf tobacco in the "hand," which he gave to the soldiers. It was a great treat to those who "used the weed." About sun? down, as if it was thought tobe better travelling at night than in the day time, we resumed our march, and by hard work we got across the Chicka? hominy about midnight, having to stand a greater part of the time wait? ing on the wagons and Artillery to get across the swamp or bottoms ahead of us. We crossed at what was known as Bottom's Bridge, and the mud was nearly a knee deep on the bridge, and three times that deep in places along the road. However, it did not take us long to fall asleep when we got the opportunity after we got out on the hill. Grat. Irby and I slept together, making our bed on a brush pile, and well we did, for an hour or two aftei we went to bed there came up a regu? lar spring-time thunder shower, which fell in torrents for more than an hour. Warren Maroney said he stood it very well until the water backeijVup against him and commenced to run over him like a mill dam, and he had to rise and seek new quarters. After having to bring up the rear doing the picketing and skirmishing nearly all the way from Yorktown, we were allowed to pass inside the lines to the rear of the army around Rich? mond and take a few days of much needed rest. We had the monotomy of muddy marching, skirmishing and picketing broken occasionally when we did get to rest by - the camp fire a few hours by the sweet strains of music produced by Jordan Green, Charlie Hoke and Charlie Murrell, on the violin. Jim Howard, as brave a man as was ever put up in so small a bundle, carried the fiddle all the way from Yorktown to Richmond. The last days of May we broke up camp and marched up north of Rich? mond on the Brooks Turnpike, staying up there one night and until about noon the next day (31st of May), when we started in the direction of White Oak Swamp, where we could hear the battle raging. ' We had to double quick two or three of the last miles, arriving at the front about an hour before sun set. We were carried right into the battle under a heavy fire of grape and canister as well as musketry. I don't think we were actively engaged more than half an hour, but we lost more men, killed and wounded, than we did in any one battle during the war, to my recollection. The killed of our company were R. N. Bradley, J. J. Carr, S. J. Gary, Lewis Green, Thomas Green, Harvey Kelley, W. T. Powers, C. P. Richardson, J. H. Wil? son and Reuben Wilson. The wound? ed were Lieutenant E. H. Acker, W. B. Acker, W. H. H. Ariail, W. B. J. Barnett. T. B. Betanett (and prisoner), W. D. Bennett, J. C. Bruce. B. F. Green, Augustus M. Hamilton, J. H. Kohler (and prisoner), J. J. Riley, W. R. Rankin, Garrison Timms and W. F. McWhorter who died of his wounds. Company G. lost 14 killed dead on the field. I think it was some 75 or 80 killed in the Battalion (as it was then composed of seven compan? ies), and over a hundred wounded?a veritable slaughter pen. In this en? gagement, which we called "Seven Pines battle" (the yankees called it "battle of Fair Oaks") our brigade commander, Col. Wade Hampton, was wounded in the foot; also the army commander, Gen. Joseph E. Johnston, was badly wounded. Gen. R. E. Lee at that time and place assumed com? mand of the army of Northern Vir? ginia. Of those of our Company who were wounded at Seven Pines, W. B. Acker, W. B. J. Barnctt and W. R. Rankin were discharged. It is surprising how the yaukec his? torians blow about gaining such a great victory at Seven Pines. when there is not a word of truth in it. It is true they occupied the ground they fought on for a while, but they never drove us from the field, and to the best of my recollection we got the best of it anyway if they did slaughter so many of our brave soldiers. I thiuk, as Bill Arp says, "we killed as many of them as they did of us." After this great battle was over our regiment, or Battallion as it was then (only having seven companies), finish? ed the reorganization as provided for by Congress. Capt. M. W. Gary, of Company B., was elected Lieutenant Colnnel against Lieutenaut-Coloncl J. B. Griffin, who had been our Lieuten? ant-Colonel after Lieutenant-Colonel Johnson was killed at first battle of Manasses; Capt. J. Harvey Dingle, of Company C, (Mining Guards) was elected Major over Major James Con? nor, but he soon was made a Brigade General. B. W. Ball, of Laurcns, was appointed Adjutant, Lieutenant W. H. Mauldin Quartermaster, Dr. J. J. Bozcman Surgeon, and W. T. Gary Commissary. That, I believe, com? pleted our field and staff officers for the time, and, in fact, until the next No? vember, when we got our full comple? ment of companies (10), which entitled us to a full Colonel. After our reor? ganization our Battallion was attached to the Texas Brigade, composed of the 1st, 4th and 5th Texas and 18th Geor? gia Regiments, and commanded by Brigade-General John B. Hood. Hampton being wounded, his Brigade was dissolved and thrown with other Brigades, but, as soon as the brave hero was able for duty, he was made Brigade-General of Cavalry and took command of a Cavalry Brigade. As I am called the "great adviser" I#rill venture a little more advice in regard to the selection of delegates to the Constitutional Convention. I advise all Conservatives to be careful about this olive branch the Tillmanites are pretending to holdout to us for peace, and not be lured into any trap, for I tell you it is nothing but a trap set to get full control of the Convention. They know that the negro is going to vote for his best friends and trust his destiny with those who he believes will do him right, and he, like some of the balance of us, knows that that principle does not lay in the now dominant party. I say if we expect to do anything at all?even to vote?to put out a full ticket composed of the best men we have all over the State, and invite all voters who want a Constitution that will be fair to all citizens alike to help us elect it. Otherwise we may just as well hands off and not have a thing to do with it. I, for one, am not in favor of any compromise or coalition with Tillman, Irby & Co. But those who want to try the experiment can go ahead. You will see where you will be when the wind up comes?left. As I have said before, we have not left the party nor is it our business to go back?they are the ones to come back. "We may just as well stay at home as to go to the Convention with a minority. If we ever expect to try to have a creditable government again, now is the time to go at it. Squire Fewell. ill Sorts ol Paragraphs. ? No one deserves high praise for doing his duty. ?

"My dear," remarked Mrs. Sniuggs to her husband, "what do you chink of the anti-theater hat bills now under consideration by various Legis? latures ?" "Well," he replied, reflec? tively, "I have not given them much thought, "but if they are anything like the hat bills that come before me, I should unhesitatingly say that it ?viil take immense appropriations to meet them." REPUDIATED BY IRBY. He Kicks Vigorously Against the Tillman Deal. P To the Editor of the Kcicn and Cou? rier : I am receiving letters from all over the State protesting against the consummation of a scheme or agree? ment between Senator-elect Tillman and Governor Evans on one side and John Calvin Hemphill and Joe Barn well, of Charleston, on the other. My friends of the Reform Movement seem to be anxious to know whether I am acting in collusion with Governor Evans against what they conceive to be a sacrifice and surrender of princi? ples and their rights in the election of delegates to the State Convention. I wish you would favor me with the publication of this letter,' which must necessarily be brief, to say that I was not consulted by either side to this agreement and, withoutmy'subsequent acquiescence, cannot be bound in any respect by what has been done. In 1885, when Tillman commenced his most "remarkable career, I was among the first who echoed for him in Laurens County. Laurens and two or three others endorsed his position in the election of members of the Legis? lature and we went to the Legislature to be sneered at and almost spit upon by the ring or clan in the State that was controlled absolutely by the Cal. Hemphill and Joe Barnwell class of politicians. When we had reached the climax?the crisis, Tillman backed down and wrote a letter withdrawing from politics or having anything to do with it. Men who were as much in sympathy with his ideas and opinions as he was even in an apparently igno minous minority, were unwilling to follow hhn and forsake the people whom we had dared to lead and they continued the fight in the Legislature. He was tied hands and feet. He could not have gone before the people of South Carolina-for any ofiSce after his letter of retirement but for the death of Mr. Clemson, bequeathing that property to the State for the benefit of the farmers' boys. This gave him a new opportunity, and at my sugges? tion he came back into the political arena. We met at Dan Tompkins's house, on the line of Edgefield and Abbeville Counties, in the Spring of 1889, and agreed upon a fight that would give the people of the State control and dethrone the party led by Cal. Hemphill and Joe Barnwell. The condition and understanding was that Tillman was to lead and be the nominee of the farmers for Governor. This is where the March Convention scheme was agreed upon and the work carried on by the preparation of a manifesto which was published in January following that calling the March Convention which nominated Tillman for Governor. So far as I was concerned results were all that I want? ed. I did not expect any position, and my promotion to the Speakership and to the United States Senate was as great a surprise to me as it was to my many friends. Since my election to the Senate I have tried in every respect to be true to the people who elected me, both in Washington and at home. One of the main principles that was advocated at the March Con? vention and intended to be carried to success was the calling of a Constitu? tional Convention, and I may say here that it was the hardest fight that we ever had since 1890. We had Cal. Hemphill, Joe Barnwell, the editorB of the State and of the Greenville News opposed to that call. I say it, with proper respect and friendship to our present Governor, that when the crisis came, and it look? ed as if defeat would follow the action of the State Convention overwhelm? ingly, he fled the State and could not be found by telegram or letter. Sena? tor Tillman stood true to me as chair? man of the party, and did all he could. We did our best to make this call, and are now being abused and vilified all over the United States on the charges of corruption and fraud. I had at least expected him to stand by the people whom he had led since 1890, and not go into any Alliance or com? promise (for compromise means a sur? render of principle) with such men as Barnwell and Cal. Hemphill. I know what it means, after the most faithful loyalty to Tillman since 1885 up to this time. I also know what it means, after my throwing my? self into the breach just one year ago to save Evans from disgraceful defeat, to dare to oppose any scheme that they may agree upon. If the terms of agreement between this crowd had been fair and honorable to the people and to the Reform Movement, I would not say a word, but it means the defeat of the object of the Constitu? tional Convention, and the sooner the people of the State know it the better for them. I speak as an individual Reformer and not as State chairman, because as State chairman I have already acted, and had hoped that the primary scheme would have saved the party from a wreck. I want it under? stood now and for all time that I will not and do not agree to any equal division of the delegates to the Con? vention. As for Laurens we propose to stand upon principle, and to elect our delegates from among men who can be trusted to take care of the rights of the poor men and genuine Democrats of the County. Any agree? ment by Tillman or Evans is gratui? tous and cannot bind us. An equal division with a lot of sworn Conserva? tives and half of the Tillmanitcs, who will prove treacherous when the crises comes, means an utter failure of this Convention to take care of the rights and property of the people of the State and white supremacy. Before the election was held in-No vember I intimated in an interview that a division of delegates according to the numerical strength of eaolrfa tion would possibly be fair, but know ing that we controlled three-fifths a least, I would not have imposed th ' idea of an equal division upon any sane man. TVhen I was contendin for Cleveland, after having sustained him with a majority of 5,000, Hempja hill and Barnwell refused any proporS sition looking to an equitable distribu? tion of the patronage, and I got no" support from the newspapers opposed to our faction, but on the contrary they said that Reformers were not: Democrats, and were not entitled to any showing. Yet these men, Barn well and Hemphill, a prominent cuckoo for Cleveland, invite Tillman, the leader of the opposition . to Cleve* land, and who has his pitchforks ready to stab into the bowels of the Presi? dent, into a conference to settle the question as to what the different - Counties should do. And Tillman walks into the parlor of the spider. My election to the Senate has not in any way changed my feelings to the people of the State. If we, the Re? formers, stand firm we can win, but we had better be defeated by allowing Cal. Hemphill and Gonzales to go with the negro than to humbly surren der in a way like this. I hnnvSl suggest that Tillman, the agitator, now the pacificator, has been com? pletely dethroned, and Evans, if he is sincere, has been bamboozled. As for myself I think any sane man will see' ; that I have been betrayed 1 but hon^ 3 orable defeat is much better and pre? ferable to me in the selection of dele? gates to this* Convention than a - dishonorable compromise. It is well ? enough for "the forty," the leaders of the Conservatives aud the pacifica? tors to bring up and get ready for theV fight, for I am satisfied that the true ? men who were in this movement from," its incipiency from principle, will not submit to any such agreement. The ;; combination will not do. A combina? tion between a possum and coon can-, not win, as every Reformer knows they ; cannot sleep in the same log long. I au: very busy here, but after the*4th, of March I will return home and take a hand in this fight, sink or swim, live or die politically. I am ready to stand"' by the principles of the first March. Convention as against all comers and all of its enemies. The main princi? ple of that Convention was a Consti? tutional Convention, to be controll* by men who were its friends and no its enemies. The poor white men. of ? the State are not safe with any such possum and coon combination. Their, rights under the homestead exemption and qualification clause are imperilled They cannot afford to trust men lik Cal. Hemphill, Joe Barnwell, Go zales and A. B. Williams. It won have been far better had this Conven- : tion failed in November last than that the Reform Movement should be feated and the rights and liberties'!), the poor white men of the State im? perilled by men like these. I believe that Tillman and Evans were sincere, but they were simply gulled-into a? compromise that means the destruction of the Reform movement and protec? tion of the poor white men of the State, but for 'whom Tillman in the Senate and Evans as Governor would have been impossibilities. I do not mean to denounce Tillman or Evans. I weep for them in being monkeyed with by any such crew. Cal. Hemp-; hill and Barnwell were original mem? bers of the forty. When the primary scheme was promulgated by the Demo-! cratic committee they were whipped and could not destroy the Reform Movement. Then they proposed to muzzle me as chairman of the party and the whole Democratic organization by going into an agreement with Till? man and Evans, which I respectfully submit will not only ruin the Demo? cratic party, but the Reform Move? ment of this State.

A French writer recommends, in cases of ingrowing toenail, the paint? ing of the nail with a warm 40 per cent, solution of caustic potash. In a few seconds the nail becomes so soft that it can be scraped away, except a small layer, which can be removed by small scissors. ? "George Washington is the father of this country," said one boy thoughtfully. "Of course he is," replied the other. "Well, I'll bet that he'd feel like takin' his country out in the wood-shed if he could see how it's carrying on to-day." ? She: "I wonder why Eve was not created before Adam?"

"Perhaps you would not think so, but a very large proportion of diseases in New York comes from care? lessness about catching cold," says Dr. Cyrus Edson. "It is such a sim? ple thing and so common that very few people, unless it is a case of pneu monio, pay any attentiou to a cold. There are a great many cases of catarrh and consumption which have their origin in this neglect of the simplest precaution of every day life. The most sensible advice is, when you have one, get rid of it as soon_as pos? sible. By all means do not neglect it." Dr. Edson does not tell you how to cure a cold but we will. Take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It will relieve the lungs, aid expectora? tion, open the secretions and soon effect a permanent cure. 25 and 50^ cent bottles for sale by Hill Bros.
