The statement is made that some
of the veterans would like to see an
itemized account of how the appropriation
of $3,500 by the State
was spent in entertaining them at
? the recent reunion in Columbia. It
should be published by all means.
B|: No doubt it would prove interesting.
We have heard the report is being
p'Y circulated in . Orangeburg county
that many people of Bamberg are
dissatisfied, and would like to go
fe,-. back into Barnwell. The report is
ij;- untrue, being totally without founI'l
dation. We do not know of a single
IV tax payer in Bamberg county who
would vote to go back into Barn<
well, but we suppose some of our
citizens would be glad to see BarngT
well, come with us. Possibly this is
how the report originated. Our tax
I' levy is less than the old county, gb
g there are no dissatisfied people among
Hj; us. In fact, we are all proud of our
I county, even u 11 is <1 sm<ui unc.
Good Lord Deliver Us.
From talking and thinking about
self and what we have done, deliver
as. r
From talking in a censorious way
about others and finding fault with
their ways, deliver us.
; From repeating scandals, or even
thinking about them, deliver us.
From injustice to the humble and
poor and oppression of the widow and
orphan, deliver us.
From dishonest dealing with the
estates of dead men and minors, deliver
us.
From mean and unjust suspicions
as to our neighbors, deliver us.
From anxiety and constant care
about food and raiment, deliver us.
From self-righteousness and that
piety which is manifested by long
faces and terrible groaning, deliver
us.
From thinking too highly of self
H and too little of others, deliver us.

Must Hold Up Something.
4'Down in my State," said the late
Senator Vance of North Carolina,
"our courts are particular about
forms and ceremonies. For example,
in a court in Asheville a soldier who
had been battered considerably in
the war was brought in as a witness.
The judge told him to hold up his
right hand.
" 'Can't do it sir,' said the man.
"'Why not?'
" 'Got a shot in that arm, sir.'
'" 'Then hold up your left.'
"The man said that his &rm had
been amputated.
" 'Then,' said the judge sternly,
you must hold up your leg. No man
can be sworn, sir, in this court unless
he holds up something.'"
Didn't Like the Taste.

He found his hair was leaving the
top of his head, and took his barber
to task for it, says the Wesleyan
Christian Advocate.
"You sold me two bottles of stuff
to make this hair grow."
"It is very strange it won't grow
again," interrupted the barber. "I
can't understand it."
"Well, look here," said the man,
"I don't mind drinking another bottle,
but this must be the last."
A Scorcher.
A bicycle policeman, of the same
nationality appeared against a man
he had arrested for fast riding.
"How fast was he going?" asked
the judge.
"Pretty fast," answered the policeman.
"As fast as a man can run?"

REUNION OF VETERANS.
Monument to Jefferson Davis Unveiled
at Richmond This Week.
Richmond, Va., June 3.-The capital
of Virginia to-day resumed the
glory of the time when it was the
capital of a nation with an ambition
that was world-wide. As the monument
to Jefferson Davis, the president
of the Confederate States of
America, was unveiled men who had
fought for that nation's lost cause
stood with hair grayer than their
old uniforms to hear the eulogy of
their dead president and the principles
he represented.
"Not in hostility to others, not to
ininro unv sprtinn nf the country.
"M V*? . ~ -- 1
not even for our own pecuniary benefit,
but from the high and solemn motive
of protecting the rights we inherited
and which it is our duty to
transmit unshorn to our children/'
In these, the words of Jefferson
Davis spoken before the United
States Senate on June 21, 1861, was
the cause of the Confederacy presented
before the ex-soldiers of gray,
the men who had sacrificed for that
cause. These words of President
Davis were inscribed on the monument
that was unveiled, they were
reproduced in the speech of the day,
and found echoes in the breast of
veterans who fought for state's
rights which they believed in as a
matter of right and failed to sustain
in might.
Children of Richmond, three thousand
strong, had drawn the monument
to its place through two miles
of spectators, just as children of that
city has drawn to its place in capitol
square the monument to George
Washington, the first president of
the United States of America, whom
Virginia gave to her country.
More happy still was the scene today
in which the Confederate veterans
were the spectators, the guests
of honor at a reunion that was larger
than many held in recent years.
While their ranks have been thining,
the veterans and their families
have been growing richer, more
prosperous than they had believed
that they would ever be when the
dark cloud of reconstruction had
settled like a storm upon the fair
Southland. And so they were able
to return to this unveiling, which
will go down in history as the memorial
event in the story of the Con?
? '' 1? -V- . 1 _ 1_ "
ieaeracy as it lives in me neans ui
Dixie.
General Clement A Evans of Georgia
made the principal address of the
day. When the veil was drawn from
the monument, eyes were lifted upward
from the statue of Jefferson
Davis to the figure that crowned the
pillar in the center of the colonade.
This is the allegorical figure of a
woman known as "vindicatrix," representing
the spirit of the South.
At the base of this pillar and on a
pedestal five feet high is the brdnze
figure of Mr. Davis, eight feet in
height.
The inscription on the pedestal is
"Jefferson Davis, Exponent of Constitutional
principles, Defender of
State Rights." On each side of the pedestal
are inscriptions, the one on
the left reading:''As citizen, soldier,
statesman, he enhanced the glory,
the fame of the United States. When
his allegiance to that government
was terminated by his sovereign
state, as President of the Confederacy,
he exalted his country before
the nations."
On the right side of the pedestal
is incribed "With constancy and
courage unsurpassed he. sustained
the heavy burden laid upon him by
the people. When their cause was
lost, with dignity he met defeat,
with fortitude he met imprisonment
and suffering, with entire devotion he
kept the faith."
, The sentiment of Jefferson Davis
expressed in the United States Senate
that is quoted above, will be inscribed
on the architrave at the top
of the colonade.
A deep and solemn hush prevailed
over the great assembly as the beauty
nf tVip crrmin cam a unon them. The
red and blue of flags, the music, the
crowds, the gaiety, the joy of meeting
comrades had prevailed in the
encampment of old veterans until
this time but in the presence of this
message of grief and pride from the
old South to the new, the message
of patriotism, bravery and proud
grief preserved in stone and bronze
under the imagination of a master
hand, the old soldiers remembered
the old South, the comrades who
fell before the guns in that mad
brave contest for what they believed
the right.
There were many things that had
reminded the old soldiers of the
early days of their enlistment that
seemed barely 47 years in the past.
On the walls of the Jefferson hotel,
in the halls of the Confederates, a
calendar which reproduced the flag
of every state in the confederacy
was hung. At the top of this emblem
was the flag of Georgia of blue with
the seal of the state upon it in white.
The central flag was the Confederate
flag officially endorsed by the
government of the Confederate
States of America. Many of the flags
were not in existence to'be copied
from when this Southern company,
which has for its field the Southern
states, began the search for flags to
reproduce from. But from descriptions
the entire list was made out
and the sheet of flags is large enough
for every soldier to find on it the
one under which he enlisted?the
palm tree of South Carolina upon
blue, surmounted by the crescent;
North Carolina's flag giving dates of
May 20, 1775, and April 12,1776, the
dates upon which the state declared its
independence of England, while there
waved at the end two bars, one
white, the other blue, and the field
... ^ \ ^
held a single white star; Alabama
Mississippi, Florida, Louisiana, Ten
nessee, Kentucky, Arkansas, Texas
Missouri and Virginia?the beautifu
flags were presented in the beaut)
of color such as they carried befort
the toil of battle sanctified them.
The reunion has been one of th<
most notable ever held and upon it*
last notes being sounded the soldier:
will spread over the battlefields the:
left in the 60's, will visit the grave:
of old comrades and resume th<
pleasures of camp life in reminis
cence.
j "I want to show you the tree be
hind which I was introduced to mus
ketry," a gray-haired wit told an
other upon asking his company to i
nearoy region.
The scenes have changed. On cros
roads where the soldiers saw grave:
and desolate cottages, there hav<
sprung up happy villages. The field:
of uncultivated land over which thej
tramped wearily now bear the prom
ise of early fruitage of grain and cot
ton. The little towns that were s<
gray and desolate at the close of th<
war between the states are now hap
py little cities with the buzz of a lif<
that has left the cloud of. war far be
hind, though in every Virginia ham
let, at every cross roads, in the hear
of eveiy son and daughter of the 01c
Dominion, is carried the sacred mem
ories of the struggle that the old sol
diers might think, superficially, wa
told of only by the scars and wound:
they bear upon their bodies.
The soldiers will separate, happiei
for the reunion, and march over olc
fields in boyish fashion for all theii
feeling of age. They have been giv
en in Virginia the welcome of theii
lives, and go home feeling again thai
they played an important part in th<
world's history, better for the honoi
that has been paid them, and with i
happy memory for years to come.
Lunatic Injures Another Policeman
Greenwood, June 1.?Ed Fooshee
the lunatic who made his escap<
from the county jail here Thursday
afternoon and sallied forth on the
community with an iron shovel, mad<
his escape again to-day about 2
o'clock. This time he was armec
with a heavy iron window weigh'
and a saw. As a result of Fooshee's
rampage Officer M. B. Saunders o:
the Greenwood police force bears i
very ugly and painful, though noi
serious, wound on the left side o:
his head, Fooshee striking him with
the sharp edge of the saw and inflicting
a deep gash about four inche
long and cutting his left ear com
pletely in two.
It seems that Fo&shee did not at
tempt to attack any one on his jour
ney from the jail to the square, bul
when he neared the union passengei
station he attacked a young colorec
girl, Mamie Latimore, beating he]
across the back with the flat side oi
his saw, and it was in answer to hei
cries of "Police, police," that Office]
Saunders rushed up to protect the
girl, when Fooshee turned upon him
There was quite a crowd at the
station and very quickly the lunatic
was overpowered, though he foughi
like a demon and it took several peo
pie to disarm and overpower him.
The escape from the jail was made
very much in the same manner as or
Thursday and this time Fooshee se
cured one of the window weight
from the* window of the lunatic's
cell in which he was confined anc

Fooshee is a young white mar
about 28 years old, his home being
at Ninety-Six, this county, and was
brought here from Plum Branch bj
his brothers, where they are operat
ing a saw mill. It is said that the
unfortunate young man had a spel
of typhoid fever about eight years
ago and ever since then he has beer
crazy. He has been in the asylurr
twice already. Deputy Sheriff Dukes
will carry the young man to Columbia
to-night.
Mayo Carmichae! in Marion Jail.
Marion, June 1.?Mayo Carmichael,
the 15-year-old negro boy wh(
was reported about three weeks age
to have attempted to assault the 10year-old
daughter of a Mr. Sawyer
near Mullins, and who was reported
to have been killed by the pursuing
party, was arrested near Brownsville
and lodged in jail here to-day,
He admits his identity and says he
escaped his pursuers and has been
working since then up to the lasl
few days for Mr. J. C. Sellers, near
Sellers, having gone to Brownsville
after leaving Mr. Sellers. He de
nies any intent to commit any crime,
The arrest has caused no excitement
Both Were Collectors.
A local newspaper artist got a letter
one day from a man over in Indiana
who said he was making a collection
of sketches. "I have drawings
from well known newspaper artists
in nearly every State in the Union,'1
the Indiana man wrote, "but I have
none from Ohio. I have seen some
of your work and I think it is good,
If you will send me some little sketch
for my collection I shall have it
framed."
The artist noticed from the letterhead
that the Indiana man was connected
with a bank in one of the
small towns over in the State oi
literature. That gave him a hunch,
and he wrote back as follows:
"I am making a collection of ten
dollar bills. I haven't secured specimens
from every State in the Union,
but I have several tens and a few
twenties, and I am particularly anxious
to have a ten dollar bill from
Indiana. I notice that you are employed
in a place where ten dollar
bills are kept, and if you send me
one for my collection I shall be glad
to have it framed."

a unusual apparition, sprang at the girls
i One of them was knocked down an*

Peek of Coyotes.
> Will Schot, holding down a claim t
the tall timber a few miles from Butt
Falls, Ore., had an exciting experienc
one day last month. He was at wor
in the woods some distance from hi
cabin when his attention was attracte
by the ferocious barking of a pack o
coyotes In the canyon below him. Tb
; sounds were unlike the ordinary coyot
cry, and Mr. Schot, becoming interest
ed, started down the hill to Investigate
and as he stepped around a bunch o
: thick brush he came suddenly witht
a few yards of a magnificent buck sui
rounded by the pack and making
valiant though losing fight against th
hungry horde. With hoof and horn h
fought them off, but It was a losin
game, and had Mr. Schot not appeare
THE DEER'S ANTLEB8 CAUGHT HIS OVEI
k ALLS.
i on the scene the unequal fight mus
; have soon been over. So intereste<
were the combatants that they did no
? notice the presence of a man, but whei
. tiie coyotes finally saw him they quick
, ly beat a hasty retreat. With a snor
, of victory the buck turned his hea<
and saw the man.
He paused for the fraction of a mln
ute in surprise. Then, with lowere<
antlers and blazing eyes, he made i
rush for this new intruder, and sud
denly Schot remembered that he ha<
| HO gun. He did not feel in a mood foi
J foot racing just then, either, so h<
shinned up a tree at a pace that woul(
1 make the nimble gray squirrel greei
5 with envy. Nor did he have any tim<
' to lose, for as he swung himself int<
1 the first branches the tip of the deer'i
' antlers tickled the bottom of his foo
and caught the hem of his overalls
ripping them to the pocket
That was perhaps the proudest buct
; deer that ever trod the earth in Oregon
He had put to flight a band of wolves
1 and treed a man, and he concluded t<
camp there awhile and enjoy his vie
tory. For an hour he guarded his cap
tive, stamping his feet, shaking his
head and making other warlike demon
strations, while Schot remained in th(
treetop and wished for his rifle. Final
1 ly the deer tired of the game and mo
| seyed off into the woods, stopping once
in awhile and looking back, as if tc
1 say, "I've a notion to climb that tree
and get you yet."
