Editor:—Ly souie hook or by crook a big hearted set of fellow^ who reside in and around the flourishing and pictprtsque little town of Georges on che South Carolina Brailroad, found out nnd invite 1 the “ Old Gang” of Aiken county’ to join them in a deer him . and you bet we made h iste to accept the kind invitation, for deer in our county arc among the things of the past. So tho old Bucks of the Gang began to scrape and paw around, and the day for starting was soon fixed 13th of Novem ber. Among the old Bucks of the Gang was Sheriff Holley, Clerk of the Court Brown. Probate Judge Williams, Red Jim the Coroner, Old King Williams, and several young recruits among whom was one young wandering Jew of the legal persuasion, who by the way is a kind and generous fellow, he made friends on all sides, and more than once did he go to the center and revive the drooping “ spercts” of an old Uncle, and the name of Demetrius will always have a green spot in our memory. We had liberal return tickets ma nipulated for by Red Jim tj,e coroner, and the kindness of Billy McGrath. President of South Carolina Railroad Company. Thanks to ye, Billy, for i/cr kindness and a chape ride. We took the down night train at 11 o’clock wiih dogs anil gu’.s, baskets and bundles, blowing horns ai.d shot bags, and now and then a scattering jug. At (he little town of Windsor, Small Benjamin came on board wiji bis lutlc tricks and fine dogs, and among them was the famous old Charley with hi» tail going like an old fashioned winding blade. Now Mr. Kd»tor there is a great deal in a hunting dogs tail. Leaving Windsor first one and then another settled down into a comfortable seat and nothing much was said or heard but the incsssant and nevtr tiring clank-itty-cluiik-clank of the car wheels until we ve-!«h " -a On Thursday at 10 o’cleek we reached the land of Goshen and pitched our tents on the edge of a clear and habling brook, which furnished Adams’ Ale for man and beast, and by 12 o’clock Judge Thomas of the Dili rode into camp with a fine buck. In that country the hunting is some what different to what the old Gang aie accustomed to. They do most of tbeir driving on foot and shoot on the rise, more than at stands, by that means the St. George Sports got the imide track ot the old Gang and kept it throughout the hunt. They arc all keen sportsman but one of the party deserves special notice as a hunter and is descrredly a worthy representative of the Swamp Fox of revolutionary fame, he can out walk any horse in Colleton county. You never know where he is until you hear him shoot, and when he does shoot you may bet your bottom dollar that it is meat on the nail. He got four shots on the hunt and killed four nice deer. The man is John J" Purler and will be known hereafter as the Grand Mogul of the St, George Sports. Francis Marion Reeves and Ed. Hus sey are also good hunters, but they don’t get to the shooting places like John Parlor. Saturday morning Dr. Morten N. Waring, that accomplished and genial gentleman from Piueoppolis joined us and added very much to the entertain- ment and pleasure of the party. Red Jim, the coroner, insuted on showing him the color of his Irish Eye Water. The Dr. came to the center, and after several sips pronounced it a capital article, good for the patyo as well as the eye. Sunday morning to the regret of the party some of the Aiken Boys had to leave for home on business appoint ments. It being rest day tho baiaoce of us strolled around and visited the places cf note in the neighborhood and wound up at Chapel Hill, where we found a line Gin House and country store under the control of Messrs. Big- pig and Skipjack, two very clever Ger mans. Mr. Bigpig stops rrJt, te store. Mr. Skijjack bp der shin house. We were very much refreshed by their social chat and other condiments that we found setting round tbe store, and after taking several snorts of tbejr vcormut juice wc made for camp. We found dinner ready and feasted ou baked venison, fried partridges and new --- n'd bv our worthy and effici- i»i£ knicti * »m: mt* raiiger Oogan to bluster again, when u Colleton man made his acquaintance and told him he was just the man he had been hunting and was a foeman worthy of his steel and Would fight him in any manner, shape or form, and to name his time and place. At that the ranger began to ask for segars and tobacco. The liberal Colleton man pulled two Rio liondos and a plug of Cavendish on him which fie pocketed, Colicton still pushing the meeting, when the ranger said he had a young man on board by the name of Horton, who done his fighting; but ^Colleton said pou are mj man. The ranger chewed and smoked and was about to swallow a fine Spanish when to the great amusement of all oa board he said hold, stranger, is nut this the land of the game cock and swamp fox of South Carolina ? Yes, said Colleton. Then said he, it is no fight, and craw fished right square out and went on his way rejoicing to the Imd of Goshen. Arriving at Georges wo were met by Capt. L. E. jb.rhr cf j.hc Mcise Light Dragoons, Jno. J. Parlor, the swamp Fox of Colleton county, the young Arch Dukes, Plus and Minus, George Wash ington Cadwalidcr Bowyer Seastrunck, Judge Thomas of the 9 li and Ed. Hus sey, with wagon* ttud_Imogies to carry us to the land of G ashen waydowu on the oid Santee. Wo had a pleasant ride of f >rty miles changing seats occasionally wiih differ ent members of the St. George Sports, and we.c all soon like daddy and Wilev. or as thick as peas in a pod. Hunters get acquainted mighty quick and usually stick to each other like sick kittens to a hot brick. At 4 hile swamp the nerves of some cf the Aiken Boys got mighty shaky at the appearance of so much turbid water and so iu*iny shaky litt le bridges, but the i-wamp Fox cried out hoi 1 your holt, we will carry you through all right, and “we plunged, wc sjwsed, wc crossed, and our nerves were easy once more.” At 1 o’clock we halted lor dinner when we had everything that could tempt the appetite or tickle the palate even to Irccr budhnj and sausages, of which we all partook freely and felt very thankful for. As the Dutch preacher said in tho gonglusion of his “ v-bo <*on|d not hrrtisp hi* /'■■»» us again with his English jockey cap oo, and really looked the sporUmau all over. He was made the Captain of the day. All hands were soon placed. Red Jim, the coroner, and your deponent having choice stands. The game was soon raised and the cry was heavy. Your deponent and Red Jim stood with guns cocked, teeth chat tering and knees smiting together, when all of a sudden right in front of us bang goes a rousing gun. Tho horn sounds, we strike a turkey trot, and not much to cur surprise we found tho inevitable John Parlor having flushed a luce buck ad libitum and laid him to the land. The old King was disposed to blow and talk, but Red Jim, the coroner, tapped him ou the shoulder and told him to recollect the Texas ranger and tnc swamp Fox. The old King wil ed like a collard leaf on hot ashes, and said be would drop his mantle on the should ers of tho worthy John. This ended the hunt, and at 4 o’clock we struck camp and under the guidance of Capt. Parler }ve moved off to camp that night on the memorable buttle ground of Eutaw Springs, which his toric place wc reached at midnight. And here, Mr. Editor, the pen of your unworthy correspondent who tries to scribble ti Jiltls occasionally utterly fails to meet the occasion, but we will do our best, angels can tl > uu uit-ro. Eutaw Springs is one of those his toric places that made South Carolina memorable in the great struggle for lib' erty and independence, Eutaw Springs is the spot whore Siieh men as Marion and Sumter met in secret conclave to talk and to watch, to pray, and to fight for that nationality which not only South Carolina but the whole United Slates bow enjoy, and how ooultf a big hearted fellow sleep on that hill among those shattered brick bats, under those majofitic cedais nnd around and among the graves of those bravo heroes who have been sleeping there au hund red years, without being impressed with feelings of the grandest admiration for the illustrious and heroic dead Y’es, Mr. Editor, white spreading my old blanket that night for rest the fol lowing poetic lines struck mo as being truly grand and pathetic : •• On fnniss ramping ground my pen fails again, and I will not at tempt. But, sir, the grand old spring we cannot pass over. To look at it is wonderful. It comes gushing out of a mighty hill in a volume that would at- once overflow the Sand River near. Aiken and thirty yards from its mouth- it would float off Baruey Mosley's new- atore. i li is called Eutaw Spring. But in j the language of the Dutch preacher, “ I dinks it ish river.” Now Mr. Editor, if you or any nf your readers doubt my account of the spring let them call ou Red Jim, iho. coroner, to verify my statement, for we stood side by side on the brink of that spring with folded arms and heads bowed and viewed with silent admira tion the upheaviuge of that mighty work ol nature. Right there and then and right over that spring Red Jim, the coroner, and au old friend saw fit to, cut walking sticks. Red Jim did the elimbiug and cutting. Red Jim’s stick was straight thy p!d man's was crooked. The old man complained. Red Jim says it is all right. I keep straight, you get crooked sometimes. The old man dried up. Our stay at Eutaw was very short but several colored gentleman visited ’js and talked freely. Hector Ladsden said he had been square Chamberlain man, but now hv. sorter Hampton, for said be, Chamberlain da gone, Hamplot he da wid me. Fro u Eutaw we faced tho wind thsc blew from the wide awake town d Georges ou the South Carolina railroad passing through Eutawville wind seemed to have been once a place of IH2 and wealth, but all the signs of life tbit we saw was a store kt‘P l by a a u* 1 * 11 li the Germanic coiifederatiuu who had a “pig fat \ife mit a plenty ol letle shilds” Some of the boys sampled his CiT.n whiskey and tobacco, and wont on oir winding way, crossing 4 holes agan when Red Jim, the coroner, propossd to change the name to Hell holes. At dark we landed safe uud sound at Georges, end were hospitably entertait/sd by Capt. jparler, the young Arch Di&e and Judge Thomus of the 9th. Afer supper we bad good vocal and inst<u- uicntsl music, and some mighty gcod tunes and tales about the people of Ar kansas, and the enormous eagles of tkat 'country. At 9 o'clock wo were escorted to the depot by the St George Snort* Gecrce S TATE Of SOUTH CAROLINA, AIKEN COUNTY. MiiiV C.
