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.

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.

has could be carried to the Old Bay
State. 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

P. S.?I will send this bv the first 1
%
flag of truce to be mailed unless I 1
*?ave an opportunity of sending it to c
Hilton Head. Tell Sallie I am saving t
a pearl bracelet and ear rings for her, i
but Lambert got the breast pin and *
rings of the same set. I am\ trying j
to trade him out of them. 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. This scrap book is full of in- *
tensely interesting things and from jj
time to time we intend to reproduce f:

ed country newspaper editor that had
found farming a better paying indus- o
try than editing, and he was discuss- C(

farmers at the village grocery, says g
the Indianapolis News. H
"Well, Lem, I s'pose you're a reg- ?
'lar farmer now?been at% it for 10
years," remarked one of the friends.
"Oh, I'm a farmer all right," said
Lem, "and I s'pose I'll always be one, ""
