No ono, who has onco opened the Standard Designer, ?3 ever at a loss to account for its universal popu larity Tho Columbia State of la3t WoJnesdfcy siys: Among tbe interesting political stories which have reached the State office is one concerning an incident said to have occurred at Anderson last week. It is atated that candidate Mayfield went up to Mr. J. Belton Watson and said : "Mr. Watson, we would like for you to interest yourself in our behalf in Anderson County in this fight. If you do we will give you our influence for the office of Secretary of State on the next State ticket-" Mr. Wat son ia reported to have told Mr. Mayfiold that his friends wished him to run for Railroad Commissioner, to which Mr. Mayfield replied that this place had boen promised Mr. Crum. Then, the story goes, Mr. Watson asked whose help he could expect In case he consented and was told that reference was made to that of the Mayfield brothers, Evans and Irby. Who will be the first to deny this atory ? The Columbia Register of the 13th inst. say3 : "Attorney General Barber, who has been to Greenville and Anderson, the latter plaoe especially, to look after tho seizure of the car load of liquor at that place, returned to the city yesterday. Aa a result, it is officially announced that the Btuff will be held, and that the partiee in terested can take further proceedings to recover it. Thia is Bomewhat defiant In appearance, but is said to merely indicate tho State's position in the matter?to in sist upon a strict observance of tbe order of the Court. The State holds that tbe Anderson ehipment is illegal, because it was consigned to the Savannah firm itself aud not to an agent. Mr. J, A. F. Ilutchins, the agent of Ferst Sons & Co,, of Savannah; Ga., who own the liquor, telegraphed the firm as soon as it was seized by Constable Fant, and he was in structed to engage an attorney at once. He secured the services of J. II. Grant, Esq., who left the city yesterday to lay the matter before Judge Simonton. Mem?ri?m. Zea?io loia, tho four-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bonj. J.

Yet again wo hopo to meet thee, When the day of life is lied, Then In Heaven with joy to j?reot thee, Whore no farewell tear Is shed. > Mir.nr.ED, Itciiuioii of Ori's Regiment. About 2.000 pcoplowon? posent at tbo reunion of Orr'a R 11 ?, bold at Sandy Spring*, August lOih and 1 Ith. This at tendance ia tho Wgoot in tbo history of the association. It ia perhnp3 accounted for by tbo fact that General Longstreet was expected to be present. The ?ronera!, bow ever, could not be present on account of bla health. Promptly at 11 o'clock tbo survivors of Orr'a R?giment and Veterana of other commands woro formed ia lino and, head ed by tbo Anderson Cornet Band, march ed to tbo stand, passing in review with uncovered heads, before the widows of two gallant colonels of the rogimont, Mrs. J. Ii Orr and Mre. Ledbettor. The exercitos of tbo morning were open ed with prayer by the chaplain, J. T. Mc Brido, D. D? after which the president of the association. Col. G. McD. Miller, tho last cjlone' of the regiment, made an address of welcome. Ia the course of his remarks ho called upon tbo mothers to impresa this fact upon tlelr children: "the Confederate soldier fought fora noble came" and that though ovorpowered they wero not conquered and "hey had no tpolo^ies to make for their actions. He exhorted tbo mothers in pathetic language that in teaching their children to pray they should teach them to pray for the old Vetorans. Then turning to Mrs. Orr and Mrs. Ledbetter wbo occupied seats of honor ho expressed in beautiful terms tho high appreciation and honor felt by the command in being honored by their pres ence and Btepping from tbo stand he gal lantly kissed the hands of these honored ladies as an expression of the love which the survivors of the rudiment bore them. At this ecene many of the old veterans wept. Returning to tbo stand Colonel Miller concluded bis remarks and intro duced Col. James L Orr, of Greenville, wbo, instead of the speech be had intended to deliver, paid a high and merited tribute to Gen. Samnel McGowu^, under whom Orr'e regiment served, a man whoso life was devoted to duty in war and in peace. Colonel Orr spoke of General McGowan as a lawyer, legislator, judge and soldier? "as one who had honored and served his native State as few of her sons havo ever done." Col. McD. Miller then introduced Gen. M. L. Bonham, who made an elo quent and patriotic speech eulogistlo of the Confederato soldier. Iu the course of his remarks he seized the tattered flag which General Longstreet presented to the Palmetto Sharp Suooters and ae a repre sentative of the younger generation kissed the flag as a pledge and token of the esteem and reverence in which the "Cause" and these who fought for it are held by them. After General Bonham had finished Colonel Miller spoke, having as his sub ject the Battio of Chancellorsville. His description of that fight and his personal remembrances were entertaining ti all, but especially to those who wero with him on tho field. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year : Col. G. McD. Miller, president; A. M. Guyton, firat vice presi dent ; R. H. Y. Lowery, eecond vice presi dent ; J. W. Thompson, secretary ; J. T. McBride, D. D., chaplain. J. M. P. Sons of Confederate Veterans. The second Convention of tbo South Carolina Divison, United Sona of Confed erate Veterans, will be held in Green ville, S. C, Aug. 25th, the samo time as the reunion of tbo Veterans. It promises to be a great success, and Gen, Bonham, commanding the Division, ia working hard to secure a large attendance. South Carolina leads the \Teterans' As sociation in number of Camps, and sure ly the Sons of veterans should do the same in their organization. Great efforts are being made to thoroughly arouse the young men of this State to their duty and to interest them in forming Cumps of Sons in every town in the State. There are ninety-five Veteran Camps In the Slato and only eight Camps of Sons. Those eight are located aa follows: Camp Moultrlo, Charleston. Camp Humphreys, Anderson. Camp Maxcy Gregg, Columbia. *Camp Marion, Marion. Camp Wade Hampton, Mt. Ploasant. Camp Ciidwallnder Jones. Rock Hill. Camp John M. Kinard, Newborry. Camp O'Neal, Greonville. Thoro aro a few other Sons organiza tions in the Stato, but thoy are not mem bers of the General Confederation, so are not duly constituted Campa. They should make application at once to the General Headquarters, Charleston, S. C, for momborahip, so aa to take part in the Grsenville reunion. No Camps can join tho South Carolina Division unless they are members of the United Sons of Con federate Veterans. Camp O'Neal is certainly making all arrangements possible to give the visit ing Sons a good time. The meeting will be hold on the morning of the 25tb, in the Knights of Pythias Hall, on Washington Street, opposite Beattie'* Hall, where the Veterans meet. It will be tbe Sons' headquarters, and all delegatea should report there immediately on arrival. Commander J. 0, Westfield, of tho local Camp, ia Chairman of a Committee often on Reception. All delegates should no tify him by what train thoy will arrive, ao that bis Committee can meet them. A Committee will, in a fow dajB, give out information asi to boarding houses. All delegatea will be furnished with distinctive badges by Camp O'Neal, but should also wear their own Camp badges. Ou tho night of the 25th, a largo recep tion will be given in honor of the Spon sors of both the Veterans and fiona, to which all SonB are invited. Each Camp should send a Sponsor with their delega tion. They are requeatod to report their names and Camp they will represent to Col. James A. Hoyt, Chairman of the Committee. The Sponsors will not bo expected to wear any uniform. The badge of their Camp \a all that ia necessary. The low Railroad rato of one cent a mile each way makes it possible for all Camps to tend large delegationa. Tickets will bo on sale on the 25tb, good returning until SOth. It is hoped that all Camps of Sons will be represented. A Camp baa just been organized at Clinton with H. Y. Vance, Commander, and Gon. Bonham will organizo a Camp at Abbeville to-morro w. L P. itR.
