This encampment but been the most beneficial to the militia of any ever held, the entire mscuinur} of the camp was diVcted and guided bV the ex|ierienced iuuidb of the officer** of the regular army who were tdationed there and who exacted the stricte** observance <>/ ;■ jl tbings which relate '• to mill Cary.

To tb* Xorth stands Snodgrass Hill, upon whose summit rises the South (Carolina monument, dedicated to tbs immortal heroes who charged up its slope* in the vain attempt to dislodge General Thomas, “The Ruck, of Chickninaug*.'’ It is a pleas- ftiif odriuhentary upon the the record of events of the camp just ended that the Thud South Carolina Regiment, white psssing this pionument during the third uay nionoevers, gave t hr ei Mirrii^; cheers (0 the mthiolT of the!: honored dead.

The Regiment arrived iu Oamp during a downpour of rain which soaked men and baggage, but their spirit was not even dampened and tents were erected and ditched within an hour after reaching Oamp. The Heyward Riflemen were locky in Adding their tents already pitched, they being situated in the Northern end of the Camp these tents were used as an alignment upon which to erect the others. The boys suffered the want of hominy for some days bot the company quarter master sergeant, W. A.

Too much cannot be said in praise of Co.’ K”, their conduct in the field and in Camp was commented upon in the highest terms by the Regi mental office™. In ail the tedions marches, In the daily routine of camp aud in the rush oL battle not a man flagged or shirked hisduty. This Company was fortunate in se- turning with no sick men; on account of the first day's wetting a few had colds and fever but these ailments were soon cured. The drinking water was boiled so there should be no. ill effects from that source. Co. “K” returned to Walterboro about 12 o’clock Saturday night, wearied by the long confinement iu the cars, which as usual, were noth ing but the regular negro excursion cars furnished by the railroads, who have promised an infinite number of tinfes to furnish proper -transportation.

Very little interest seems to be taken in cennty politics this year. Probably the voters are more inter ested in overcoming their common enemy, "King Grass," than in the honeyed words of the office seeker. However, such a condition is bkely to change after this week. The farmers will probably be done fodder pulling, aud can tnrn out in good numbers to hear tbe speakers give their views, on local and national affairs. Home spice will probably be introduced, and a "hot time" given those who attend the meetings. The campaign speaking opens at Sniders next Tuesday, and will close at Wal terboro Saturday, August 26. The following is the iti tieary of the campaign party: Snidere Tuesday, August 14. Rice Patch Wedneeday, Augnst 14 Lodge Thursday, August 10. Smoaks Friday, August 17. Bells Saturday, August 18.

For Sale By Brown Furniture Company (Member Southern Furniture Dealers Association!) Capt (J. W. Way Writes Again From Hlggstoa, Qa Editor Press adn Standard: 1 am o trying while out here as best I can, to keep up with the State campaign. Now comes the cheenug news from the old State, that there is hardly a doubt but that there will be an anti dispensary governor, and lower house elected, bnt some doubt of the Senate. Heretofore, anything looking for temperance reform has been killed in the senate. Colleton has two gentle men running lor the senate and we don’t want any fence riding. Gentlemen, come out fair and square and let us know just where you stand on the whiskey question. Friends may criticize me, but I will stand alone, if need be. m the glad consciousness that I am right, forget ting men and measures, to do my duty as I see it. Traffic of whiskey, with its use and iuficence, our boys become feeders for onr jails, chain- gang and penitentiary. It is an unmitigated iniquity, the helper of murder, the hot-bed of crime, and it i • opens wide the gate way to heL. It has cansed untold pain and privation to thousands ot helpless women and innocent children. It has brought down graylhaired fathers and mothers to their graves in sorrow and shame. Yet men in the face of these facts, profess followers of Christ, will talk and write for it and drink it They argue that prohibition will not pro hibit. How does the State of South Carolina know it won’t? Have they triedit? On the other hand the dis pense ry has been tried and drunken ness is on*the increase and stealing by the wholesale, such is its record. . Now let’s try prohibition. I admit that we will have blind tigers—we have them now. The tiger will be the lesser evil. - He will have neither money nor influence and every claw you cut off his numbers will get less, and after awhile they will be few and far between. G. W. Way.
