Meyer’s Mill, May 3,—On the 3()th
ult., the Confederate soldiers, their
families and friends again assembled
in annual reunion at Meyer’s Mill, it
being estimated—that skme 1,500 or
1,800 persons w£re present. Colum
bia, Greenwood, Sumter and other
cities have had their reunions, but in
point of entertainment, song, music,
historical address and gorgeous din
ner of finest menu, with that w'hole-
some welcome we received, can any
reunion surpass that held at Meyer’s
Mill? Her noble sons and daughters,
far and near, seemed to vie in their
laudable effort to make each reunion
a grander success than that preceding.
Everyone enjoyed the occasion and
treated it as the greatest holiday of
the year, and there was not a single
incident to mar the pleasure of the
day.

operation of the Australian Ballot
Act, and not believing that the meth
od of voting under the provisions of
this Act is productive of any l>etter
results than were obtained under the
old system of holding Democratic
primaries, and the, holding of elec

being, both confusing and unreason
ably expensive;
“Be It Resolved: That we favor a
repeal of the Australian Ballot Act
insofar as it applies to rural districts
and towns of less than five thousand
(5,000j inhabitants.”
This resolution was the subject of
considerable debate the present sys
tem of voting having several staunch
champions. However, after a motion
to table was defeated, the resolution
was adopted by a large majority.
