of South. Carolina life parBurly,
says a writer in the
Blotte Evening News, who
Pbues: *V .

by another might chalge
the latter to mortal com[on

p of hopor it emphatically

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,

STAGE REALISM IS NOT NEW
'itijjfrT Pl*y? 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.

"He is not doing this in order to

It has been done before. Neither
is he doiug it for notoriety or paltry
gain. It was with extreme reluctance
that he consented to
place himself on exhibition. He is
