My Dear Ma.: I wrote to Pa a few days ago and to Pink yesterday and I purpose writ ing you a short letter today as it is probably the last opportunity I will have for several days. We are under which is 50 miles above us on thc marching orders for Enterprise, Miss, Mobile & Qhio Railroad and will necessarily consume several days it accomplishing it. We are ordered tc leave in the morning at 4 o'clock pre cisely. I am fearful that we will have gotten a tedious march of it, but truss not as severe as what we have alreadi passed through, as I understand th< country is better supplied with water etc. This army is somewhat de moralized and I am under the impres sion, that Gen. Johnson's object in go ing to Enterprise is for the purpos< of re-organizing, and unless Mobile i< threatened, I doubt very much if w< will see any active service for some time to come. It is very humiliatinj to a South Carolinian to be connecte< with an army under such circum stances. Things look more gloomy a iresent than ever before, but I try t< console myself with the reflection that the darkest hours is always jus before day. Our brigade is in goo< fighting trim, and I have never has so little trouble managing my men I-have been in command of the regt They are eager to meet the foe an were especially so at Jackson. Al eyes are now turned to dear old Char leston, and our brigadte is almos crazy to go to her relief, but th chances are against us, and we re luetantly confide - her destroy to th keeping of the brave soldiers whoa fortune has placed them to defend het If Morris Island is lost Charleston i intensively gone for the possession o PROCTOR-PACE H-arvin, Nov. 18.-The home of Hoy and Mrs. John Ingram Brogdon c Brogdon was a scene of gay festivit this afternon wheno their gran (laughter, Miss Mabel Brogdon Pro< tor of Columbia becanme the bride c Mr. Homer McGee Pace of Charlesto Rev.

After tl reception they were invited to partal of punch which was served' by Misse Mary Iaynes.and Rita Patrick. Th color scheme, yellow and white we beautifully carried out in the dinin Sroom, gift room and reception hal The parlor was tastefully decorate in all white and green, with impr< vised aisle and altar of forns an aouthern simlax with rows of whit candles. To the strains of Lohengr'en's we< ding march rendered by Mr. R. I Pi'egriall of Charleston the weddin party entered in the following order groomsmen, Sam John Brogdon c ,Marvin and Mr. B. T. Bitton of Chai leston. Next came Miss Lillian Mai shall of Charleston and Miss Heuln eRgister of Savannah, Ga. gowned i ruffled white organdie carrying a hup bouquets of yellow chrysanthemum followed by the groom and his be! nan, Mr. Clarence W.

Siiroles at Mi, . uet of ,.en od a )w Foreshadows acy to His Mother that Island makes the reduction of Fort Sumter merely a matter of time, I :hope however, that .the next news from Charleston will convey the- glad tidings of the expulsion of the enemy from that Island. Gen. Johnson has issued orders granting furloughs. Se you may look for some one soon from this army. Bob Harvin will be re lieved fron duty next Friday and will return home, but will do so very re luctantly as he seems to ne very much attached to the Regt. I regret his leaving md for he is one of the best hearted men in the world. I have no idea of asking for a furlough to come home, but if an opportunity offers it self I will run up to. Pickens to see my relatives and friends there. We are fearing ii little better in the eat ing line than when I wrote before, but rough enough yet. It is the general talk in the Regiment that I am the only man in it that is on gaining ground, this is remarkable but more - the less thru. My health is decidedly better than it has ever been since I I entered service and everything I eat - seems to agree with me. It was ex ceedingly painful to me to retreat by the horses of those patriotic ladies near Jackson who had been so kind to t me and leave them in the hands of, I such an inhuman toe. If the men in I I MIiss.1 had half the patriotism, that l the ladies have Mississippi would now be free. I will write again as I soon as I get to Enterprise. My love I to all the family. Kiss; the children - for me. Tell the negroes all howdy. t Remember me very kindly to Mrs. e .Maingault and the young ladies. Dr. - ask to be remembered to white and e black he has been a little unwell for e a day or two but is now over it. All the boys tolerable well. s Yours sincerely, f 'Harry. MANNING'S "WHITE-WAY" The long looked for and much talk f ed about "white-way" for Manning is now an assured fact, the contract hav d ing been let today. Mr. Simpson, representing the Westinghouse Co., was the successful bidder. This will give Manning one of the most modern d "white-way's" in the State.

SUMMERTON NEWS For the last few weeks the news iureau from Summerton has suffered mmensely . owing to, the . fact that here has been very little happening n this little burg on ' the Santee. ?olks over this. way are all busy dis sussing the boll weevil, livestock, ;trike situations, Mexican -problems md other up to (late questions and 1 he business houses have very near suspended business on account of the ;hortage of the present cotton crop Ind the tendency of the farmers to told on to their ready cash for the iard times which are schedu l to ome this wiry during the stay of the boll weevil. The merchants who have :lone a time business for the past year ire on the war path gathering up odkds and entls aind' trying to clear their ledgers and have them put on a new appearance for the first of the coming year. Some few who have idle mo iments from their busines hours are trying their new bird (logs and shot guns on the abundance of partridge in and around this territory however due to the extreme dry weather re turns have not been so heavy, the bag limit scarcely having been broken. Others from Summerton have been on a coastal expedition in search of deer and other smaller game. The Broadway McClary Company have removed their stock of goods in to their new quarters in the old Cos krey building on main street which they have had painted through out and repaired in general which wil ]give them more floor space and a better building for conducting their exten sive business. irs. .J. \1.

Another ifiender in the same class, Brooks I'urner, received a sentence of six ntnths and fine of $300. J. W. Gall nan pleaded guilty to the charge of viohtion of the prohibition laws and trked the clemency of the court on ac :oaint of dce.ndent wife and children. ( :o the programme, until Thursday (' 'vening, concluding with the exercises for that niht. It is expected that Lhis will he a series of god entertain ments' and will bie well worth the price of aulmissionl at each entertain ment. Mr. and Mrs. W. II. Anderson spent Saturday in Sumter. We gather from current rumor that the're is a movement on foot to iave the principal streets of Summertoin and if this be true' there is s;till some thin gin store for this town which is badly needed. Every town of aniy' co'nsetuence is awaking to the fact that a gomI paved street adds to the town as well as a protection to the merchants whose stores it adjoins in the way of having less dust to aceui ulate in their respective st< res. The adding of a good paved street on Summei-tons !main thoroughfare will be a god atotraction for the town and we feel sure that the town a. a whole will be glad to see our city Fat he'rs put this proposition throuivh. Within the past few days there have been several current rumor. about weddings in Summerton but sonic how or other we have not learn ed who was married. It is very pro h'ble that we will have some witi'it. a short titile however we do not know the attitude of the contracting pairti'3 and will wait for further develop ments.
