Editor 1 mes: Kindly allow me
sufficient sjice in the columns of
your vulunbe paper to inform the
town connci of Fort Mill that the
selection o a cotton wt-ighcr for
this townsiip is a matter with
which theythould have nothing to 1
do. I nm ware that for several
years it In been the custom in
this place i r the council to name
the weigho but I am not informed
that the ]?< rer to do ho has ever
been vestei in that body. This is
a mutter w ch should be loft entirely
to t e producers and purchasers
of lie stnple, and 1 therefore
euggei that an election be
held for a \eigher early in August
and that ouy the farmers and the
cotton buy?ts of the township be
allowed to participate therein.
What right ins the council of thin
town to snjfwho shall weigh my
cotton? Tliouly authority which
is vested in hem in this matter is
that which they have delegated
to themselvB. and I for one intend
to haul my cotton to Hock
Hill, Piuev lo, or Charlotte this
fall if I nni enied a voice in the
selection o; the weigher in Fort

in n recent issue of the Anderson
1 u'eiiipene. r I he statement was
made that the only discordant note
sounded in the Louisville reunion
on the question of burying sectional
hatred was not. by a brave
and chivalrous Confederate soldier,
but by a North Carolinian
whoso name, ]Jr.rgwyn, is unknown
to the mass of veterans in his
State, to which the Abbeville Medium
replied as follows:
The Intelligencer is mistaken in saving
that th) resolutions ??f fraternity
wore ??)> i 1 by Hnrjjwyii, o: North
Carolina, for he submit tsd tho resolution..
Tln? name of ihir/^wyn is known
and honored in North Carolina. Col.
Ilarry lairywyn commanded tlm Twenty-si.;;
h North Carolina regiment of
i et?ij;ivw\s brigade ;;t tho battle of
Got iysbnrjr. The regiment was on the
loft of Pi.keu and wont farther and
stayed longer than any oi' Pickett's men
in tho o l? hratodcharge, l'iokctt'a loss
in killed was la nion to tho regiment,
while the Twenty-sixth North Carolina
had b.i men killed. Pickett's loss in
wounded was 17 men to the regiment,
while th Twenty-sixth North Carolina
had f?i> ? men wounded.
Colonel r.uruwvn was killed in the
hot test of t h.-tight and left uu honored
name to the iH'oplo of North Carolina,
who will not believe any man of that
name is a coward.

the Twenty-sixth North (Carolina
regiment, of which Zeb Vance- was
the tii.st colt nol, will he rend with
interest by the Fort Mill friends
of Captains N. CI. Bradford ami
Thos. fl. Cureton, both of whom
wa re oflicers in the Twenty-sixth
am! both of whom participated in
the celebrated charge, in which
the former was severely wounded
and his company almost annihilated.
