LOCAL NEWS. WEbNESDYA MARCH l(?, 1S9S. Orr's Regiment. EDITORS INTELLIGENCER: I notice in the INTELLIGENCER of March 2d you published some bloody records, as shown by George L. Kilmer, writing in the New York Advertiser, in whioh he shows that Orr's Regiment of Rifles, South Carolina Volunteers, lost more men killed in bat tle than any Regiment in either army. He puts the number at three hundred and thirty-four. I do not know th? num ber that nine of the Companies lost, but the roll of Co. K shows thirty-nine killed. It is not my intention to show the number of killed and wounded, but to show that Orr's Regiment received the greatest honor of any Regiment in Lee's Army. It occurred on the morn ing of May G, 1SG4, at the Wilderness. Gen. A. P. Hill, with Wilcox and Heath's divisions, met Grant with his hosts at the Wilderness and held him in cheek from 3 o'clock p. m. until dark, stopped the hattie, then we fell b?ck a short dis tance and lay down for the night with our guns in our hands. The next morn ing at break of day we were up and in line of battle. We moved to the left out in a plain broom sage field. By that time it was near sunrise. Theil orders came to move forward; at the same time the sharpshooters began to fire and fall hack in the edge of the timber. Some distance in front could be seen a full line of battle of the enemy. About the time we met the sharpshooters coming back, a courier rode up with orders for us to fall back behind a battery, some two or three hundred yards in our rear. Col. Miller stepped oat in front of the regiment and said: "Men, the eyes of Gen. Lee are on you. I want you to fall back in good or der. About face, guide center, march!" when all moved 'ike we were on regi ment drill. The troops on each flank ad left out at doub?e-quick. Orr's Regi ment fell back in good order, with colors flying. Soon we saw Lieut. L C. Has kell, of McGowan's staff, coming to us in a gallop. I do not know whether there were more than one that were in hopes that he had orders for us to come out in double-quick or not, for the whizz of the jinnie balls were anything but pleasant, "nen he got to the regiment he raised is cap and said: "Col. Miller, I have or ders from Gen. Lee to salute your flag ior coming out in good order." We fell back behind the battery and were soon re ieved by Gregg's brave Texans. I have always thought the good order in which we fell back was the cause of GeD. Lee sending us into the terrible battle of | Bloody Angle, six days later. J. B. Cox. Co. K. Orr's Regiment, S. C. V. Pendleton Items. Mrs. A. N. Wright died on the 7th inst, and WHS bu lied on the Sch in the family burying ground. The funeral services were conducted by the Rev. B P.

Paul Dickson, of Pendleton, is attending the Patrick Military Institute His brown eyes and raven black hair and fine military bearing, mounted upon this magnificent horse, reminds one of bis illustrious father 07 years ago, when he left his father's luxurious home, a gallant Lieutenant of Co. C. 4th S. C. V., to defend his country, aDd after having passed through 42 hard fought battles, returned home, but not without being fearfullv wounded at the battle pf Fayettsvllle, N. C-, one of the last confl'tctn of the war of four long, weary years. When we see Col. Dickson passing through the streets, his handsome form being bent a little with the weight of 56 years, we can but wonder if Paul and others of the noble sons of this day will be called to psss through the perils of a war. WE JRUST NOT Simpsonville News. Will you allow us space, Mr. Editor, in your valuable paper to give you the news of Simpson ville? Our little town is situated west of Pied mont. It is a flourishing little city, with about one hundred inhabitants, and is steadily improving. Several newdwell iag houses* are being built. We now have a telephone running out about ten miles in the country. One of our merchants, Mr. W. A. Simp son, made a business trip to Newry last week. Miss. F. Drake, of Donalds, has baen visiting Mrs. J. J. Hannon this week. Glad to see you, Miss Drake; come again. Misses Lula Philpot and Ida Simpson, two of Simpsonville's charming young ladies, were at Dacusville Thursday, at tending the marriage of Miss Sallie Bet. Philpot to Mr. R. Gaines, of Central. -Dr. W. M. Long and wife, ofCateechfie, have been visiting the family of Mr. W. A. .8impson this week. Come again, Will; it seems like old times to have you in our midst. Mr. T. R. Simpson, one of our popular young clerks, made a visit to Denver lagt Sunday. Wonder what Miss N- B said? Simpsonvilleis on a boom. We saw three of Piedmont's "Pebbels" in town Sunday. What's the attraction, boys? Mrs. Tom Harmon and little son, from Greenville, have been visiting her par ents this week. Two of our belles, Misses Ada and Kd na Simpson, have been visiting Brushy Creek for tho last few days. We are very sorry to know that Mr. Collins has two cases of typhoid fever at his home. Mr. W.

The beautiful spring weather is here, the peach and plum trees are blooming and we hope we may have lots of fruit to eat this year. Mrs. Mary Bigby is very ill with pneu monia at this writing. Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Taylor, of Neva, visited relatives in our midst last week. Supt. A. W. Attaway visited the Mc Adams school at this place last week. Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Shirley, of Neva, spent Saturday night and Sunday here with friends and relatives. Mr. Hugh Wilson, of Abbeville, has been called to the bedside of his sister, Mrs. Bigby, who is very sick with pneu monia. Several of the Corner Creekians attend ed Hon. Wm. J. Brvan's lecture at Due West last Friday, lion. .Joshua W. Ash ley went, and he says that it was the finest speech that he had ever heard. It being on "Free Silver," no doubt it was the finest speech ever delivered in the South. That is just wnat the farmers of the South need, and until they get free silver there will not be much prosperity. Your correspondent had the pleasure of attending preaching at Barkers Creek Sunday and heard an excellent sermon from their pastor, Rev. D. Weston Hiott. Mr. G. F. Bigby, one of Anderson's popular merchants, was in our midst for a short while last Sunday. Hoyt Shirley bas caught IS rabbits and one 'possum in one of his so-called rabbit gums. We have been having some excellent weather for farming the past week, and our farmers are progressing rapidly with their farm work. Some are putting in guano, while others aro getting ready. They seem to be using a large quantity of it-from two to three tons to the horse but we are glad to say that a large amount of it is going to be used under corn, and from what we can learn, the acreage of corn will almost equal that of the cotton in this section. Marvin Bigby, .rho has been very sick for the past month, is about well again, we are glad to note. Mr. J. N. Shirley, one of our substan tial farmers, has the largest quantity of stable manure of any one in this section. He thinks he -will have between 50 and 75 two-horse loads to put under his cotton and corn crop this year. Mr. Shirly in forms us that he will have to use but a very small amount of commercial fertili zers. .Other farmers should follow this example. The candidates for various offices are announcing themselves right ?along all over the State, and the County officers are "hanging" around. So watch out, there will be some hot times this year. TYRO. Around Alice. War is the general topic of the day in this section. Some of our farmers are planting corn and some preparing to plant cotton seed. Mr. and Mrs. D. P. Bowen, of Bowman, Ga., visited their daughter, Mrs. Brooks Gailey, recently. Capt. E M. Snipes and wif?', of Pied mont, visited us last week. Our townsman, W. P. Ball, was called to Lowndesville last week to attend the funeral of his mother. Mrs. Eliza Ha 1 has gone to Abbeville to spend awhile with her daughter, Mrs. Alice Anderson. Some of our boys must bo in love or something else. They can't eat nor sleep sound. Cheer up, boys, and don't take it so hard. It will do you good when you get ove? it. It is so delightful to hear the gentle birds singing these beautiful mornings. It makes a fellow feel like going to see his best girl. Miss creswell, of Troy, S. C., ?9 visiting her sister.

"Wright, departed this life at her home in Pendleton on the 7th day of March, 189S, and after appropriate and solemn services, conducted by Rev. B. P. Reid and the venerable Dr. .lohn B. Adger, of the Presbyterian Church, and the Rev. Mr. Dunlap, of the Methodist Churcb, was laid to rest in the Baptist Churchyard by the Bide of many of her family who had preceded her. Mrs. Wright was the daugh ter of Mr. Robt. A. Maxwell, a grandson of Gen. Robt. Anderson, of Revolutionary fame, and her mother was a Miss Earle, a sister of Judge Earle. Mrs. Wright, at the time of ber decease, was seventy years of age, and for many years bad been a consistent member of the Presbyterian Church, and although she had lost ber husband in the Confederate war and all of her property by its results, and had eudur ed the anguish that only a mother can feel, when called upon to bury the last of ber surviving children, she still maintained her trust in God, and with subdued but cheerful spirits went about doine good, thereby illustrating in the highest degree a true Christian spirit. The large con course of friends who followed ber re mains to their last resting place eloquently prove the high esteem entertained for her character and gentl9 Christian virtues by those in who?o midst abe lived, labored ?.nd died. A FRIEND Tribute of Respect. With trembling hand and aching heart we raise our pen to pay as best we can a last tribute to the memory of Mrs. Annie Sims Casey, the beloved wife of Mr. M. A. Casey, who has just departed this life. For the past four weeks.tbe life of this loving wife and mother had been hanging by a thread, and dav by day her friends sind loved ones stood around her bed with sad hearts and tearful eyes, only to see smother strand break and tne cord grow weaker. Yee, weaker and weaker it grew until the morning of the 27th ult , as the dawn of another day was gently approach lng, the remaining strand was severed and the spirit of the beloved one was wafter! Into the great eternity. Death is a ?ad thing even vhen it cornea and takes away the aged who have out-lived their useful ness ; it isa sad thing when it swoops down and takes away ihe infant who bas never lived to know tho sorrows of this world, but oh ! how much more sad is it when it conies and lays its resistless lund on a fond mother, wbo is almost in the bloom of life a3 was this one, for she bad just entered ber thirty seventh year. She seemed to think when jirst taken ill that she was never to gerTwell, and knowing that fche was to leave six poor little children in this cold and unfriendly world with only a father's caro, we can not say that wo believe she welcomed death; ve: she met the inevitable doom not with fear, but with courage and beau tiful resignation. It is indeed sad to think that this loved one is gone from among us forever, but those tokens of ex istence, her well known voice that bus 'soothed and blessed and cheered, and the vacant chair she dots not now fill, and the sweet smile that always covered her face And now dear friend, wife and mother nobie and true we bid thee farewell Over thee shall grow the flowers; thy virtues will not be'for?otten ; love ?hall not perish, "Dearest loved one. we have laid thee In the peaceful grave's embrace: But thy memory we will cherish Long as reason holds its peace."
