A Quiet Day and a Very Light Vote in This County. The vote throughout the State yesterday was light. Spartanburg county shows up the heaviest vote, because both factions had tickets in the field. The indications, as far as heard from in this county, are that D. J. Bradham, Jos. S. Cantey, James M. Sprott and J. W. Kennedy will be our representatives in the convention. There will be no opposition from white men in the general election. The election at this place was very quiet and, on account of there being no opposi tion, a very light vote was polled. There are three clubs here-two Con servative and one Reform-but, owing to the re olution of the executive committee allowing white men to vote in any club, the Conservative clubs did not open, and the members of that fastion who voted did so in the Reform club. The result, as far as received, is as follows: MANNING--108 VOTES. D. J. Bradham........ ...............105 Joseph S. Cantey .....................105 James M. Sprott............. ........105 J. W .

HE CAME TO GRIEF. . A Jay Tried to Be Sharp, but His Scheme Didn't Work. A white man was put in the guard-house last Thursday for cursing on the streets, but the prime cause was that he undertook to play a confidence game by endeavoring to get a suit of clothes for bulldoze as a medium of exchange. After having selected a pair of shoes at evi's store he had them laid a.Lin without paying for them, and went over to Me eod's ; there he could not be suited. He hen went to Horton, Burgess & Co.'s and ad some more goods put aside, and from there he crossed over to Rigby's. But everything must have an end, and this sharp young man reached the end of his tether here. He bought some clothing from Mr. Joe Rigby and had them put aside. A little later on, young Mr. Rigby ad business out of the store, and while e was absent the would-be sharp young galoot went in and called for the package, aiming to have paid for it. This, of ourse, was questioned, as young Rigby bed properly notified his associates in the store that the goods wrapped up were not paid for. When the sharper's veracity was ques tioned he became indignant, but he was persuaded to await the salesman's return. Wen the salesman returned he said the man was mistaken ; that he had not paid for the goods. This made the hayseed sharper very mad, and the coolness of the elder Rigby saved the fellow from a good sound mauling. This sharp galoot of a jay thought he ould bulldoze people into lotting him "cuss" his way through, and after he gave an exhibibition of his "cussin" qualities, he was taken and locked up. He remained locked up until samne time Saturday morning, when he made his es cape by ripping up a plank in the floor of his cell and Crawling out. We believe this young fellow is not very anxious to try the confidence business here any more, as a couple days ini the guard. house should be enough to convince any body that it is wrong to get mad and "css" when people don't believe you paid for goods and they know that you didn'i.

To get the genuine ask Question die Old Vets Editor The first Mon day in A e day appointed for the a Harry Benbow Camp, - .te Veterans, and I though Ang wrong for me to hav y in your columns this v ur last issue before the n I ~ thought recently to this i that every old "vet" cor I do about it: "Why ha ibers ?" "Was it wrong, ar J of what we did ?" No, ? think so ; then why so much indifference? I would be glad if every veteran in the country would answer these questions in your next issue. We love to study about our great leaders in the late- war, and the first one which comes to my mind is General Robert E. Lee, our great commander. It was George Washington, away back in 1781, who said: "I know of no country that prodlnce a family all distinguished as clever men as our Lees." It was General Nathaniel Green who wrote to the president of Congress on February 18, 1780, that he was more in debted to "Light-Horse Harry" Lee than to any other for advantages grined over the enemy, and it was "Light-Horse Harry" Lee (Robert E. Lee's father) who was a member of Congress when George Wa.h ington died, and who made an address on the occasion, using the phrase, "First in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen." Henry Lee was about to embark for England whien the Ame-rican revolution bigan, and he substituted the sword for the law book. He was distinguished for keeping close to the enemy. In his "light horse" command Peter Johnston, who joined the legion at sixteen, led the -for lorn hope" at Fort Watson, and was pub licly thanked. Johnston afterward became Judge Johnston. The intere-t in this reminiscence becomes intensified in the fact that these distinguished soldiers were the fathers of Robert Edward Lee and Joseph E. Johnston, and that they were class-mates. It was only a few days ago that one of the old Mexican soldiers of the Palmetto regiment was inquiring aboat the silver cup to be given to the last survivor of the Mexican war. I suppose he thought he was the only living survivor, and it will not be many years before it will be in the possession of the last survivor of that war. We, too, are hastenirg on to the time when the old Confederate soldier will be inquiring for his comrades, feeling that he is the last one living. Now is our time, if we ever expect to do anything to keep up the memory of the "Lost Cause." to assist in writing and giving to the world . true history of our deeds. One of Geceral Johnston's soldiers, on his march home just after the surrender in April, 1865, wrote from North Carolina: "We are traveling tifty miles a day going home to see fatber and mother and wife and children and loved ones." That old song, "The Girl I Left Behind Me," comes impressively before me now. "Just Before the Battle, Mother," "Tramp, Tramp, Tramp, Tramp, the Boys Are Marching," "Joe Bowers," "Lorena," "Maryland," "Dixie," and "When This Cruel War Is Over," follow in rapid suc cession before my vision. But light up the camp-fire, boys ; tune up the fiddle and bow ; 4ring in the old tambourine, and listen ! oh, listen ! to the tune of "The Girl I Left Behin d .die." As the spirit-stirring strains fall on old Jim's (our cook) ears he begins to pat, and the soul-inspiring sound attracts Servant Han nabal, who begins to dance, and the welkin fairly rings when he comes to that verse: "If ever I get thro' this war And Lincoln's chains don't bind me, I'll make my way to Tennessee T' the girl I left hM"dA " Our next reunion wvill be held at Rich mond next May. Let us bestir ourselves and send a large delegation, and not a lone comrade, as we did to Houston, only to he lost in the crowd as he was there. There are plans on foot for increased pensions, but too many of us still live. After a while, when we are few and far beteen each other, the States will do something for us, Let us ti-y and better our own conditions so that wve 'may ourselves in a great meas ure relieve those of our number in want. I will write you more some future (lay on this sub'ject. DANIEL J. BRIADHAM.
