Lipscomb was made chief marshal of the day, with a quota of aids to assist him. Capt. Dickert was in command of the moving column. Judge Y. J. Pope was in command of a select number bf envoys, to meet Hampton and the campaign party, at the railroad station, and to escort them to Cline's Grove, where the exercises were to take place, and the dinner served. When the companies were all formally lined up, the column moved out into the street leading towards Main on by the public square, thence by the depot and on to the rallying ground, two abreast. It was estimated that there were one thousand in line, the head of the column being half way down the street towards the railroad when the last was leaving the college campus. Along the street in the line of march was one vast crowding jostling crowd of humanity-men, women and children waving handkerchiefs and banners, giving the riders one grand ovation from start to finish. There were a sprinkling of negroes to be seen, but they stood in mute wonder and awe. The men waved their hats and yelled with joy and excitement, as they rode along, hailing and saluting those they chanced to recognize by the wayside. Newberry was ablaze with excitement and enthusiasm, and the famous rebel yell, with which the old soldiers in line, were so familiar, gave courage and hope to the red shirt riders as well to the whole populace. Hampton and his campaign party were already on the speaker's stand when the hee.d of the column arrived. Every company riding by the grand old chieftain and redeemer of South Carolina, giving him a rousing cheer, as they rode by in grand rev'iew. When Hampton rose to speak, pen fails to do justice to the scene. Every hat went in the air, every throat was giving way to the wild est yells, ladies clapped their hands and waved their handkerchiefs, and it was minutes before- order was established. The general, followed 'by his running mate, Judge Simpson, gave rousing speeches, as did the others on the ticket, giving the people hope and comfort, telling them as if in prophetic visions, that the time was near at hand for their enthraldom to cease, that South Carolina .would soon be free, and the people come into their own again. Thus ended the grandest and most enthusiastic rallying day ever known in the history of the county. After the election all returned to their homes to take up the broken threads of their personal af * fairs, and to find the Democrats in power, and one illustrious Hamp ton at the head of the State government. These historical papers were written for the Drayton Rutherford Chapter by Col. D. A. Dickert, of Newberry, S. C., at the request of the chapter historian. .Mrs. J. A. Burton. THE LEGISLATURE NOW.

But I congratulate the may or and city council on the fact that some public improvements are to be gin soon. I would not hurt the feel ings of any one and neither would I do anything to retard the progress of the plans which city council have for the public improviements about to be undertaken. And any others that may be hibernating in the municipal brain. .-0 I have been trying to keep up with the actions of our legislature but it has been beyond my ken. I noticed I in a paper the other day that the leg-I islature was still appointing investi gating committees. And then invest; gating committees will have to be ap pointed to investigate these and there will be no end to the chain. And then they are going to build warehouses for the farmers and I reckon next they will provide superintendents for the farms and the whole thing will be under government supervi'sion and we will all be happy. There is one thing that has been overlooked, and that is a commissioner to supervise the press of the State and to see that the lit erary pabulum which is dosed out every day does not contain any bac teria and germs that are detrimental to the intellectual and moral health' and development of the people. It is as important as the body. In fact they tell us it id more important to give the mind and soul the proper nourishment than it is to be so mind ful of the body. But maybe I don't know. In my last notes I said I might con tinue my sermon at some more oppor tune time. You know, I don't like to wear out my ,pencil unless somewhere I leav'e a little sermon that I hope mayI do good. I am just going to give you. a sermonette this time .and I ~M go-i ing to ,quote it because it is written by some one else and therefore should e have more influence with you than if Lt had wtirten it: Ir had written it. "Consider this, your goodness is of no use if you are not egood to otfiers. The good of goodness is that you can wrap others inside it. It ought to *be like a big cloak that you have on a cold night, -while the shivering person next to you has none. If you don't make use of your good 1ness, what is the good of it?" Think rof that. It is worth your while. "Noth ting can bring you peace but yourself. Nothing can bring you peace but the ttriumph of principles." That also con r. tains some food for reflection. The Idler. J. E.

"Paid in FulL" The Greenville News had the follow ing regarding "Paid in Full," attrac tion that is to make its appearance in the Newberry opera house the even ning of the 13th instant: "Paid in Full" was the attraction that drew a large and fashionable au dience to the Grand last night, and so pleased was Manager Whitmire that he immediately booked the attraction for a return date for Wednesday ma tinee and night, which he was able to do owing to an open date in the itin erary of the company. The produc tion as a whole was one .of merit and* deserves all the good things that have, been said about this great play. The cast is a very strong one, and* each member deservies great credit for the able manner in which the various parts were portrayed. In fact, if in the hands of less ca.pable people, thep play, which is a strong one in itself, i would have failed to please as it did. ' The story of the play is well known to most all theatregoers throughout, S the country, having been witnessed by no less than three million people inJ the last two years from Canada to Frisco-a record never reached by any a similar play in the history of the mod - ern drama. Gloria Gallup and Emmag Brooks, thie young wife, gave a sweetI womanly portrayal of that character, and showed that she has made a care ful study of a very difficult part, and in the great scene in the third act in A Capt. Williams' den, where she goes to visit him late at night to save her husband from jail and her family from disgrace, she showed surprising C strength. Allen Lee deserves special mention for his artistic rendering of a the good natured Jimsy Smith, his per- s formance being equal to the original. L C.
