No article which is defamatory or offensively personal can find place in our columns at any price, and we are not responsible for the opinions expressed in any communication. Thursday, January 20,1916. We suggest that this would be a C. good time for^he city authorities to r . get the county chain gang to do some work on the streets of the city, ip-.; which are pretty badly in need of j|; repairs, under the exchange arrange|f . ment with the county. ; A gentleman signing himself J. G. gfeJX Xiong, in a two-column article on why Y- h? failed to be appointed magistrate |!^^, in his home town, dispossesses him't": \ self of the illuminating information h that "Richard I. Manning is not a fe suitable man for governor." The |T: State of South Carolina, no doubt, |P "owes the aforesaid Mr. Long a debt SSP of gratitude for this information. It fe is a good thing to have someone to !'/ advise the State on such little matrU ters as the election of a governor, |f.'. even if the gentleman so accommo^ dating as to give the information is ||' a disappointed office-seeker. Evidences of violation of the new || prohibition law are now beginning 'to be seen in the form of drunken men.. A number of "drunks" were |j| in evidence on Saturday. It is pos|y sible, but not at all probable, that these men were drunk on whiskey HI purchased out of the State under the gallon-a-month law. Fifty Bamberg |p citizens resolved in mass meeting asp! sembled that the law would not be ||p* y trampled under foot in Bamberg, and ly . it is to be hoped that the committee named to look after the enforcement |g|:. of the law is allowing no opportunity py ' to pass to get in some effective work. A measure has passed'the house | to third reading making it a chain ^ - gang offense to'violate the prohibition law. The proposed law will fix f-';. tlie minimum sentence of all violaters at thirty days on the gang, with gfe'A no alternative of paying a fine;^ It is pointed out by those pressing the I- measure that this is-the only way of gpr getting to the ''man higher up," the [ : / man who provides the money and goods with which to carry on the nefarious traffic. The "big tigers," they st^te, do not mind paying out v fines, but when it comes to serving \ a time on the county chain gang, it O " f \ y may cause them to do some thinking. ^ ^ ^ J V THE BURNING OF COLUMBIA. Egg/: v An Unintentional Confession by One of Sherman's Bummers. ' mi /""i ? 1.. ^ u.<? ^ ciy 0.? ^ t* m ac ! 1116 tOiUIllUUS, VJ?r., ouu dUU X1U1CO published the following letter, which was found in the streets of Columbia immediately after the army of Gen. Y Sherman had left, and the original jv..-n of which has been preserved and can be shown and substantiated. Camp Near Camden, S. C. Feb. 27, 1865. My dear Wife: I have no time for particulars, we have had a glorious time in this State, unrestricted license to burn and plunder was the order of the day. The chivalry of the State have been stripped qf most of their valuables?gold watches, silver, pitchers, cups, spoons, forks, etc., are as common in camp as blackberries. The terms of plunder are as follows: The valuables procured are estimated by companies; each company is required to exhibit the results of its operations at any given place. One-fifth and first choice falls to the share of commander-in-chief and staff?onefifth to field officers of regiments and two-fifths to the company. Officers j are not allowed to join these expedi- i tions without disguising themselves j as privates. One of our corps com-1 manders borrowed a suit of rough | clothes from one of my men and was j successful in this place. He got a large quantity of silver and among other! things an old time milk pitcher and a very fine gold watch from a Mr. De It-" v _ Saussure, of this place. De Saussure hs one of the F. F. V's of S. C., and was made to fork over liberally. Of- p fleers over the rank of captain are not made to put their plunder in the t estimate for general distribution. " This is very un/air and for that rea- p son and in order to protect them- t selves, subordinate officers and pri- A vates keep back everything that they s an carry about their person, such as p rings, ear rings, breast pins, etc., of d which, if I ever live to get home, I e have about a quart. I am not joking: I have at least a q,uart of jewelry for you and all the girls and some I \o. 1 diamond rings and pins among s them. Gen. Sherman has silver and ^ gold enough to start a bank. His ( share in gold watches and chains a alone at Columbia was 275. But I said I could not go into particulars. All the general officers and c many besides had valuables of every description down to embroidered ladies' pocket handkerchiefs?I have , my share of them too. We took gold j \ and silver enough from the d 1 rebels to have redeemed their infer- t r>al currency twice over. This (the f .currency) whenever we come across t it we burn as it is considered uttef- I !y worthless. c T "11 +V.

It would deck her out in glor- t i ious style, but alas, it will be scat- ^ tered all over the Northern Middle! ^ States. The d niggers as a general t rule prefer to stay ai :iome, particu- c larly after they found out that we ^ only wanted the able bodied men and to tell you the truth, the young- S est and best-looking women. Some- E times we took off whole families and plantations of niggers, by way of paying secessionists. But the useless _ part of them we soon managed to lose, sometimes in crossing rivers and sometimes by other ways. I shall write you again from Wil- ^ mington, Goldboro or some other j place in North Carolina. The order ' I to march has arrived and I must close hurriedly. Love to grandmother, ? Aunt Charlotte. Take care of your- j self and the children. Don't show s this letter out of the family. Your affectionate husband, 1 THOMAS J. MYERS, Lieut, etc. f P.

These i were taken from Mrs. Jamison, 1 daughter of the president of the S. C. ' Secession convention. We found these on our trip through Georgia. This letter was addressed to Mrs. " Thomas J. Myers, Boston, Mass. n The above letter was copied from an old scrap book now in the posses- 0 sion of a citizen of Columbia and was t borrowed by a relative living in Un- P ;on.

H "Well, Lem, I s'pose you're a reg- ? 'lar farmer now?been at% it for 10 years," remarked one of the friends.
