CLARENDON TOBACCO.
Equal to That Raised in Any Section
of the Country.
We have in our office two samples of to
bacco ndised by 3Mr. James Reaves of the
Fork on the plantation known as the Dr.
DoRant plane. The tobacco is as good
quality as can be raised in any State.
The samples were shown to a tobacco
dealer from Statesville, who happened to
be in Manning when we' received the
samiples, and he pronounced them first-class
wrappers, and in his opinion such to
barco' would bring a good price-the de
mand governing the price of tobacco as it
does everything else.
This genatlemau also stated that he was
convinced from what he saw of the lands
in this section that we have excellent to.
bacco lands for the raising of quantity as
quality.
Mr. Rteaves hadl the misfortune to lose
one of his tobacco barns a few days ago.
which contained what he considered his
best tobacco.
THE PRIMARY ELECTION.
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:

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.

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
