Mr. Fditor: For sonu't im?- 1 have i
been thinkiim that I would send uiv
friend. "The limes," a u tter. It is not
because 1 have so much t<> tell its readers,
but simply from a desire to write.

thinirs that are wrou;;.
isnllivans Island lias been my home
only a little more than a 11111:1th, hut
assart'tI1.1t in this 111110 I have explored
all tin' land hereabout. The islaud is
literally covered with houses, hut at
present most of t hem are vacant, as they
arc only occupied in summer. Where
there are 110 dwellings, there are sattd
batiks, nud there is uo douht hut that it
is shifting sand. The wind of one ni^ht
can nuive it frtun one yard to the next.
If it were not for the soldiers and tinehanies,
this would he almost a deserted
v illage.
lily work is eonueeted with the eonstruetion
of the new barracks and quarters
at this post. There are between
thirty and forty buildings in progress of
constmetion at a cost of more than a
quarter o*a million of dollars. When
completed this reservation will he one
of the best 011 the Atlantic const.
If all are as ignorant of our sea coast
fortifications as I was, they know very
little about it. t'harleston harbor is
very strongly fortilicii. There are three
forts on the island, V'orf Moultrie, I'at
tery Jasper, and Kort ('apron. Of eonrso
everyone knows of old Fort Moultrie
which has wit hstooil the storms of many
years. The others are new* forts ami
constructed in the most tumlcm style.
The armament of Hatterv Jasper consists
of four ten inch cuns and the rapid
tire battery. Fort t'apron is the mortar
buttery, containing sixteen twelve inch
mortars. Fort Sumter stands out in the
bay with her two twelve inch gratis,
ready as always, to stop any enemy. At
present there are three companies of
Coast Artillery stationed hen'.
] hope to see many of my l-'ort Mill
friends in Charleston this mouth.
F'eetra I odfje should be well repn s.-nt
ed on l'ythian Day. The e\|>ositiou is
in full blast now. and it is a threat show.
Fvery South Carolinian should see it.
1 will venture to say that none, who see
it will he disappointed, but will tfo
away pleased and surprised to have
seen the orejt undertaking which
Charleston is so successfully aeeomItlisllillir
1 am sorry to learn from your columns
that the school in fort Mill is to be
dosed the rest of this session. I hope
t hat I lie trustees will yet de.tide to open
it. Why doesn't some one do somet hitter
to "head otT" the smallpox epidemic.'
Have all ileeid' d that the best way to
wipe out t lie disease is for each one to
have a Pennine ease ol it, and thus become
immune''
Mr. Kditor, I must say that my present
work is much bet ter for t he physical
mail than teaching school. One does
not suffer from sore throat, and the
nervous system is not completely
wrecked after a day's work, but still 1
shall never forget my sehool at fort
Mill. The days I spent there were both j
pleasant and profitable ones, due. to the
hospitality of its people.
With the best wishes for The Times,
I am very truly yours,
S. M. Mason*. 1
