The 25th annual reunion of the Culp- family, according to the i j Fort Mill correspondent of the \ Charlotte Observer, was held Thursday at the beautiful coun-: ! try home of Miss Alice White, a i maternal de^eewdimt of the Culp, | fd&Qv.

Bloody Duels in South CaicUna. | ^^ or many years before the and for a few years sucwlinp. this code duello was BBeof the strongest and most V. ? .ft Iitrui'wvT; itjutures o.c ?>outnern of South. Carolina life parBurly, says a writer in the Blotte Evening News, who Pbues: *V . !y this code a man who conwed himself insulted or ageved by another might chalge the latter to mortal com[on the field of honor. The p of hopor it emphatically Hoi with the light rapiers or Livil HO r? O if* ' the code, just such pistols, or in itvre cases other weapons, as miglit be chosen by the challenged party. The seconds decided the positions and the giving of the word by tossing up. Each combatant took with him to the field a second, a surgeon, and, two, perhaps three friend^ as witnesses, and generally one or more male servants. The seconds with excessive civility, punctilious courtesy and knightly grace loaded the pistols, placed them in the hands of the combatants and enforeed rigid compliance with all rules of the code duello. During the first sixty years of the last century, when duelling was so in force in South Carolina, says the Charleston News and Courier, there was a rigid law, in words, against it?rigid in words, but absolutely a dead letter as regards enforcement. Public opinion upheld duelling enthusiastically and frowned down on the law. The penalties under the present law are also very severe. Their severity and prompt enforcement, coupled with the gradual crystalization of public opinion against the custom. have caused duelling to become almost extinct. Not abso lutely extinct, however, in the South we still now and then hear of a duel in which the combatants are guided and governed by the rigid rules of the old code duello. it is now almost forty years since a duel has token place at Sand Bar Ferry. The last three duels that came oil there, if we lvmembor aright, occurred in one and the self-same year?1870. One of these was between a very prminent and popular young man of Augusta, named Tilly?and on account of his civility, generosity and elegant personal habits he Svas called by his friends '".Count Tilly,'?and another, equaily prominent and popular, named Radeliff. The trouble was about a woman, and sad to say, not a good woman. Count Tilly was killed outright. Cornelia Redd, a mau well known in Augusta during the war period and said to be a desperate fellow, became engaged in a dispute with another clepserate party by the name of Copeland, of Washington, D. C. The trouble was about a gambling debt, and the two decided to fight it out according to the code. They selected seconds and a surgeon, and with some lifty interested spectators repaired to Sandy Bar Ferry duelling grounds (at. four o'clock one afternoon. The weapons for the settlement ; of the diiliculty were navy repeaters. ; A prominent Augusta man acted as Redd's second, while ; Mayor Hope, of Richmond, Va., ' did likewise for Copeland. They lined up and opened fire. Four shots were exchanged and Copeland fell at the last shot. He lived only a very few minutes after the shooting. Redd was not touched by the bullets and a few years afterwards he was shot and killed by a policeman while resisting arrest. He was a small man but terrible game. This duel was one of the most ' coolly, pitilessly, bloody syste' matie ever arranged to take place I at Sand Bar Ferry. The third duel was a ludicrous on \ T itirn im v."vv winninwlw ? T ? ?' ' J >WV% * ****? *, 4^ by some fun-loving' gentleman of Augusta and Hamburg; and yet it seems to have been a real duel. It was between two negro men ? Mose Sullivan and Peter Biair. There had been some difficulty between Mose and Peter about a case in court, and, being deftly influenced, they decided that only a duel could clear th? matter up. They.went to the ferry, and Ejpte proved the unlucky one. He recieved the bullet from Mose's revivor in his knee and you remember that when you get it in the knee your face is apt to be Snvmre to thu front. Pete wns good grit! Mose was most too grit| ty. Pete recoved from the wou nd. i Mose Suliivan -we* weep as we recall it?was afterwards killed in Hamburg in a brawl. We knew Mose weil and him well. He was a person miofty instincts. We often met Mose after the 1 duel, and before his unbecoming death, and used to spy to him: I "One day, Moso we shall write a history of Sand Par Ferry and then we shall hand, you down to honorand fame" And Mose would reply: "I know it, M\rseJeems, arjd I know you will do me jus ... .

Kftra Bmb Written with rV Animals M the Principal j ' Plgursa. *f P; The introduction of a flock of sheep into a stage spectacle seems from newspaper comment to have ; given the impression that livestock is new on the stage. This, of course, is wide of the mark. A tragedy the other day had its inception in a play written round four lions and a lioness which fit nlo v n I nVt m at A a tlair'n uovu cu |/iaj ui^iiio 01 AJiovitj o There was an opera which revolved around a Spanish bull, until one night the latter demolished the mock arena on the stage and stampeded the whole company. A real Derby winner used each night to rewin his triumph before the footlights, and plays j such as "The Still Alarm" and "Ben-Hur" owed much of their success to their quadrupeds. The most realistic scene of modern days was staged in Paris. The story coines from Herr Seeth, the principal player in it. Six of his lions were turned into the arena, with thirteen to which he was a stranger. Lay figures, about which horseflesh was concealed, were thrown in, and these the lions rent, as the forbears rent the early Christians in the arenas of Koine. At the psychological moment Seeth entered to interrupt the feast and subdue the feasters. The moment the door closed behind him he tripped, and as he fell a lion seized him by the thigh. The otherB followed?all save one, the patriarch of his own troupe. This fought for him. The others wrestled and fought and tore over his body, while the pioneer uninterruptedly crunched I his leg. A blow with a crowbar through the throat of this brute killed him, and in the resultant pause attendants dragged Seetb out in n horrible plight. He was nine months in a hospital, and that scene never again was staged. HIS MISSION A HiCH CMC. Dime Museum Freak Was Fasting In Order That He Might Break Up the Criminal Trusts.
