TW'IM --tc WUDAY, APRIL 6, 1887. d ri .S, DINKINS, Editor. IX b The Sate Military is expected in al Charleston on the 26th instant at the t unveiling of the Calhoun Monument. a At one time Charleston appeared to t( jntetionaly neglect to invite the ti contry soldiers. This arose from the c< fact that it was supposed the commit- d te of uragements would have to t provide for their entertainment, el which would have been a mammoth e undertaking for even such a hospita- o We place as Charleston. Bt this has g 1lbeen explained away, allaying any q little anger that might have arisen' n Te Adjutant-General with private as- n sistance will arrange tents, etc., suffi- d cien, for the fall comfortof the sol dier .

His slayer Geo. B. John stone has been arrested for murder. He was subsequently taken before Judge Walace of Union and bailed for $150. A clear case of self de tense, says the correspondent of the 1 .Men and Courer, was established. - 1 I"h of the parties went into the fO Court House armed. Johnstone car rying two pistols. Insulting words wr passed and each drew his pistol iu imultabeousTy, and commenced fir- v sag. Johnstone after emptying one d die' another but percieving that his antagonistts pistol was empty t put his w'p. The circumstances show I that bok partics premeditatedly ar- c ranged fr the difficulty. It was no t more than an soformal duel.

They assembled for thepurpose. of hearing any com plainta against their action in raising assssmntsat the preceding meeting. Messrs. Wilson, Alderman, and Mc Clure, whose tram road iron had been asesdby the Board at $1,600 a nue, appeared.. They contended and showed to the Board that the iron was refuse and worth muchiess. The nanmetwas then reduced to $960 a mile. This ended the' business of the .Board and they adjourned. The editor of the Tams can boast of more than one visit to that 'place distgished from anywhere else. It is Georgetown with its Revolution ary history and characteristics. A BraveCommanld. The work of reorganizing the old snnin& Guard goes bravely on and is meeting'with the kindest expres sions of. -encouragement. The old -Guard was a brave c6mmand and ow hasa record ~mzemorable for he roi achieviments. With the kind piermission of Capt A- Levi the subjoined letter is given publication. It is from the gallant Captain of the Hampton Light Dra goos.

Lei : *DZAE CIPrazs :It is a matter of su prom gratificationto "The Dragoons," that our gallant old company has broubgt into the field another milita y command; from whose very comn position we confidently predict the ~ * ost brilliant and honorable career. In your command too is revived a name of as chivalrous a corps as ever furnished heroes for the lost cause ; nd one that Clarendon should never willingly let die. It was on the plains ~ of Manasas that I first saw "The I 3rnigGuard," and in the charge of Bonam's bdrigade ou~ Rickett's bat ry, we passed over the ground so aliantly held during the entire morn-! g by their command, "The Hamp n Legion" against the most over helmin7 odds, the number of their 3ad anddying testifying to the ter ble nature of the conflict. Later in the war the "Legion" was I ounted and formed a part of Gary's II rigade charged with defending the ?proaches to Richmond, and during 1 at bloody campaign of '64, I was I rain an eye witness to the heroic )urage and magnificent fighting of te Guards; for so sure as we struck te enemy Geu'l Gary, who as its old i mmander knew its capacity and en rance, would order the Legion to ie front to dismount and attack the xemy. This was meant simply to )en the fight, but the Legion assail i them with such dash and impetu sity that the remainder of the bri de in many instances remained iietly in their saddles. This is what I know as an eye wit ss of-the war record of the "Man ing Guard." A record that is stud ed all through with d eds of heroic )urage.and endurance second to none kat history describes. With an admiration and cherished =membrance dating back nigh a arter of a century for the galant ,hievements of this historic corps, I yuld not be indifferent to its revival d perpetuation, and I therefore beg ) assure you of my humble co-opera on, and that of my command in do ig all in our power to assist the ruards in their most laudable endeav I am, Captain, very truly yours, D. W. BRu~,sror. JAMES W. TRADEWELL. There are a number of persons in his county who remember with kind r feelings of sympathy James W. radewell, of Columbia. There are a w whose memories recall the period the Confederate war when James 'radewell was among the bravest and iost daring of Lee's scouts. He died i the Alms House at Columbia, the ictim of an uncontrollable passion for rink. In youth his intelligent mind nd graces of person made his future iost promising, and coming out of e war with a reputation rivaling the ,ravest, his friends expected for him a ourse eminently useful and prosper ,us; but alas! he gradually yielded to he encroachments of the insidious de troyer which finally wrecked his anhood and made him a weak won Lering imbecile. In the days of his de reneracy he wandered to Clarendon, ;-d for a long time enjoyed the hospi ities of the Hon. Arthur Harvin, rh admired his briliant genius and ,itied his lamentable condition. 'raewell was greatly attached to jr. arvin, on whose untimely death wrote a touching lyric, which a( uired considerable celebrety. Mr. adewell's life and death is a sad in tance of the dreadful consequences allowing an indulgence of the appe it. or stimulants. The touching, thetic poem here published appear d int week's Watchman and South on. It was written several years ago vy Mr. Tradewell at a time when he iought be was on his dying bed. 'hen says the Watchman and Southron rt was that the sentiments of his 'art welled up from the depth of his ,l for his comrades of years ago. wa.s dedicated to the "Boys in Gray," na its republication will do doubt be igly appaeciated. ~EDCATED TO THE "4BOYS." I amn dying, surely dying. With no friend beside my bed. To speak a kind and cheerful word, Or bathe my fevered head. But the sirit that upheld me Throug many a dangerous fight. Still upholds me in my agony This dark and gloomy night. P'erhaps when Tm dead and gone, Some kindly vOice may say Inew him in the gride of youth. When all was bright and gay, But the promise of that youth once fair, One beautifully bright. Has vanished in the darkness Of this dark arnd stormy night. Deeply and darkiy have I sinned For many a weary year, My father's heart caused many a pang, My sister many a tear. But I am sure they will forgive When I have passed from sight, And my soul has winged its way Into the shadowy night. Oftentimes I see around, When fever is at its height, The manly forms of martial men Who charged with me in fight. Tell them they must not forget me, But to keep my memory bright. When re vanished in the darkness Of this deep and gloomy night. Say unto those who faithful prove, Until my race was run, That the nightly King of Terrors Has no craven victim won; For I gaze into his fearful face With eye as calm and bright; As oft' rye faced him on the field In doubtful Aangerous fight. 'Tell the Boys when I have passed From this cherished earth away. To see me-like a Soldier, Aye, a veteran, laid away. Reember, though a reckless man, Few his memory to defend; That he bravely fought for victory; That he lived and died their friend. Hark ! my Comrades ! I am going, Fades earth's aandscaD. s from my sight. Hark ! I hear the bugie~blowing ! Quick, my soul, prepare for ight; Who knows but on the other shore. My path may be more bright. Because on earth myjhfe has been One dismal, dark, dreary night. The Sumter correspondent of the rews and Courier says: "It is understood that the work of rading the Eutawville Railroad to rance's Ferry has already been begun, nd that the contract for constructing ' Santee trestle has already been ra. n up. Lands around Summer on, in Clarendon, have already begun o rise considerable in valne. I un terstand that a merchant from Man ing attemped last week to purchase ome land around Summerton, but ould not do so, as all the land-owners - re hodngi for a. further rise. Our Washington Letter. [From Our Own Correspondent.) WasHIso-roN, April 5, 1887. Since I last wrote you the vexed question f Inter-State Commerce Coinissioners has >een settled and the little army of ignored pplicants who waited in suspense for re ignition from ti e Presi lent has had to con ent itself as best it could. The five lawyers selected for the new National Court have >een thoroughly dissected, discussed, view )d from every stand point, and finally pro ionnced good. The Commission will now >rgani7e and enter upon its duties. The next trouble in conne, t on with it is a finding a home for the new bureau. That levolves upon Secretary Lamar, and the In #rior Department is already over-crowded. The President pronounced the Construc ion of this Commission the most perplexing >roblem yet encountered by him in his :>resent office, and the universal praise ae xrded to his selection gives him much gra. fication, lint the Commissioners canot ail to have a hard time at best. They are ;ood men and able men, but their latbors will be coruplex, comprehensive and exact ng beyond description, and they have an mmense puzzle to work out in the new law. Jay Gould said it was a good thing that they were all lawyers, for they would get out of .he law all that was in it. The effect of the new law upon Washing .on will be to greatly increase the activity of he comming summer. A large bureau must be rapidly organized a clerical and official orce employed, and thousands of persons interested in questions coming before the Commission will swoop down upon it even before itis ready to receive them. The cler eal force of the Infer-State Comamission will not come under civil service rules. The Commissioners could, it is said, pace the rganization of their clerical force these rules, but it is not probable that they will voluntarily surrender the power of se ection and appointment vested in them. The Presiden ts next difficult task will be to construct a Commission to investigate the Pacific Railroads. It is predicted that he will have even more trouble in finding the right men for these places than he had in selecting the Inter-State Commerce Commis sioners. It is now regarded as a settled fact that Mr. Fairchild, the Assistant Secretary, will be promoted to the Secretaryship of the freasurer, and that his appointment will be officially announced this week. The selec tion of Mr. Fairchild is the outcome of an interesting political eiperiment. The Pres ident declared his desire to wipe out sec tional prejudices in financial matters, by the appointment of a popular leader of his party in the West or South, qualified to as sume the task. The President was donbtless sincere in his purpose, and endeavored to find a popu lar leader who was a practical financier, and willing to assume the responsibility of co - trolling the national finances for the next two years. But he did not succeed. The desired statesman either was not found or was not willing to serve, and the President after offering to sacrifice personal preference and to make an appointment in compliance with political dictation, has returned to Mr. Fairchild. The Kit Karson Post, G. R. R., held its 20th anniversary camp-fire at the National Rifles Armory a few evgnings ago, and the Commissioner of Pensions, who was one of the Speakers, charmed his hearers with his eloquence. "The Soldier" was his subject, and the American volunteer soldier proba bly never was exhibited in a mor2 heroic light than was turned upon him by General Black. This reminds me of an old soldier's recent good fortune. He had been a private in an -Indiana company, was totally blind, and destitute, and had been a regular visitor at the Pension Office every day for more than two months, so that the clerks in the office of the Chief Clerk, where he al ways presented himself. had come to take an interest in him. One Monday morning he was rather late making his appearance and said that he had about given up all hope. But the Saturday before he had been granted ala arrearage ox more than $11,000, and the clerks gathered around him to are how he would take the good news. Tears of joy ran down the old man's hagttard, thin face, and he rejoiced and wept for nearly an hour. He had never dreamed of halt so much money before. After living for years on his pension of $3S a month, ho was made a rich man. The lady clerks were so much affected by the old man's emotion that they wept withlhim and for a time there was not a dry eye in the room. Manning's Martial Spirit (Corr'espondenice Xeres ad Courier,] MA~'Iy, April 2,-Everything here is military. Nothing else so quickly secures attention now as a remark o1n "military." and hardly anything else is discussed. The Manning Guards are to hold a fair here on the 20th of April, for the purpose of uniforini. themselves, and it promises to be the greatest social event in the hiistor'y of our town. In the afternoon, there will be a shooting match between the teams from the Connor Mounted Riflemen, Hampton Light D)ragoons and Manning Gu ards-the three mnil itary companies of the county. The two former companies are noted for their marksmanship, but as the Guards, though lately organizedl, have some fine shots among themi, a close contest may be looked for I'L' nost of the arrangements have been made, and all look forward to a glori ous time and a financial successt. Gen Bonham paid the Guards an in formal visit last week and made thorm a very'encoriraging little speech. The boys deserve congratulation for their efforts in such a laudable enterprise. and will soon take rank with the best companies of the State. Rain fell here steadily all yesterday with a very low thermometer, and its effect on vegetables is much feared.' A negro living about five miles north of Manning, whose name could not be learned, died several days ago from the effects of a broken leg re eived on one of the txrmways leading to Alderman's lumber mill. We have many such tramiways in our connty, and negroes by their carelessness fre quently injure themselves for life. G. ALLEN H UGGINS, JR., D)rmza. SUnGnoN, iir Office on Street South of Court Hose.
