In the first war with Mexico, South Carolina was represented by the Palmetto regiment. That gallant command never received from the historians, the honor that was its due. Commanded by a former gov ernor, Pierce Mason Butler, it marched face front into the thickest of every light. Butler fell, at Cherubusco. lu a few moments the gal lant Lieut.-Col. Dickinson of Camden fell, mortally wounded, at the very foot of the walls of the city of Mexico. The command tli?n de volved upon A. H. Gladden of Columbia, afterwards a major general from Mississippi in the War of Secession. The sadly deciifiafed ranks of the Palmetto regiment ?ja!cd the walls of the fortress and the first flag from any body of troops from iY i United States to float in victory upon the ramparts of the capital city of Mexico was the beautiful field of blue emblazoned with the pal metto tree and the crescent. That flag was born by an Abbeville boy, Lieut. Frederick, W. Sellick, who died many years ago, and his body lies without a monument from his state in the hallowed field of Old Upper Long Can Church. He was the Sergeant Jasper of that fierce fighting, and his memory should be perpetuated in the annals of this state. Our flag led all the rest; our flag was first-^-and Selleck put it there. -6 THE DEMOCRATIC CLUBS TODAY This Is the day named by the State democratic executive com mittee for the democratic clubs over the state to meet and organize preparatory to the campaign for office this summer.

If we mistake not there waa a "fnh battal ion ot troops from this state serving in o:hei organisations One of the distinguished sons of South Carolina who serv.id in (the V.'ar with Mexico was the father of a citizen of Auderson, Governor M?Hedgo Luke Bonham, distinguished in f ree wars. Governor Bonham's brother waa killed ia the Alamo along with Travis, Bowie and other Sonth Carolinians or dc eceadajite ci South Carolina parentage. Governor Bonham was born in Edgefleld district In 1816, an?', at the ag" of 20, graduated from the state university at Columbia. One year later, lu 1S36. he gave up his law studies to enlist for service tn the Semin?lo war, out of which struggle a South Carolinian, Andrew Jackson, came with such distinc tion that he afterwards, became President ot the United States, Ju? as the Mexicali war made Zachary Taylor pr?sident. In the Seminole war Bonham became a major and adjutant goneral for Gen. Bull. He waa admitted to tho bar in 1887 and served hie stato faithfully and well aa solicitor of the south ern circuit and also in the legislative halls. Of hts services, in the Mexican war we loara from McCrady's sketches that "Coi. Bonham served with distinguished gallantry, commanding the 12th regiment of U. 8. Infantry and having for lAs adjutant Winfield 8. Hancock/* j who later became one of the Vveraost soldiers th the War of Secession-on the Union aide. A After the Mexican war, Col. Bonham waa made a major-general ot militia ?n iuio ?ialtt, and server in congress from 1856 until the state seceded, when he withdrew from congress and was made major general commanding all of tho troops ot South Carolina. When the Confederate states became a government and war seemed inevit able, Gen. Bonham was seat to Virginia, where he became a brigadier genera! In thc Confederate anny end waa given the South Carolina regiments of.Ker shaw, the Second, of Williams, the Third, of Cash, fae Eighth, and of Bacon, the Seventh. He was also given two batteries ct artillery and several troops of cavalry. Historie? do act give South Carolina the credi*. ?he? she d?terres for, her part ta the opening battle of the wer. "Stonewall" Jackson's^ fssv.?. on that great day has overshadowed all else, as history grows more remote, and South Carolina soldiery has been .almost forgotten for the valorous and in fact indispensable part played In the battle of Menasses. The gallant Bar nard E. Bee who. lies burled et old Pendleton, fell with his face to the front, leading a brigade charge. . I'ampton's Legion saved the day in one quarter of the field, but who of tod*: .nowa that the Hampton Legion was even in that battle? Cen. D. K. Jones of Edgefleld waa another South Carolinian who ren dered great service to tho south on that day. And tho command under Bonham deserves Imperishable fame for the part H look io stemming the tide of what appeared to be victory for Union arms end converting it into defeat. The noble Benham with his Intrepid leaders, Kershaw, Cash and the others, received from Goo. Beauregard the encomium in an official report to Pr?sidant Davis,'Commending them fpr "conducting a movement on which hung the fortune? of the army." After thia battle Gen. Bonhntn st the urgent call of his state, entered the congress of the Confederate states; and after a ?hort time was ca'lcd S the highest office in tho g'ft of his people, war governor ot South Carolina. At the expiration of hts term of office! he rejoined the army enid at tho end of the war was again leading a-brigade ot Confederate forces.

He was asked to buy two; he bought eleven. That is the right spirit. FINE VETCH T. T. Wakefield, one of the leading members of the Anderson County Far mere' Union, has bought lo this office a beautiful specimen of oats and vetch. The latter is 4 feet in length and appears to be on the way to 10 feet. Mr. Wakefield says that not bnly is this good for green feed or hay, but it will save him a big fertl erllz bill by putting nitrates into the soil. This would be a good thing . for every farmer to try on "worn-out" land.

MILLEDGE LUKE BONHAM {Commanding the Twelfth 17. 8. Infan try lu the War Wtth Mexico, 1?H?. _? EDGAR ALLES POE (By ReV. Thomas B. Gregory.) Sixty four years ago died Edgar AL len Poe, the most interesting figure in American literature. if there was ever another man lust1 like .Poe" it' would be. exceedingly diffi cult to place him. Wc remember Shel, ley, frail aa the paper boats he jeted to aaU; and John Keats, who was kill ed by a critique, and whose name'Waa "write in water," bat of no finer abre even than Shelley or Keats was Poe.r The mose delicate Eolian Harp he was, upon whose soul the'- faintest zephyr of. experienc? played like s, tempest. A thousand times more sen Sailve than thc moat delicate instru ment ever devised hy the hand of man; Poe was treated by his contemporaries {hick-Skinned, pugnacious ' and- pre* pared to stand any amount, of rough usage from the world. And because from the rough'O'sage Pod sought relier in drink-& thing he ought not . to have done, of course they called him a common urnnkard and degraded sot. That Poe drank to excesfc at tbAcs cannot be denied, but excess with h'm was nothing with other men! A tea spoonful: of brandy would make him drenk, so exquisitely fine was his men tal organization. Th?-, Wonderful man died at the age of 40, worn out not by his dissipations but by the wonderful friction for which he was uuprapared. But os br ier and troubled o s hts life was, it vas not snuffed out before he had glv. ;n UH the "Raven," the "Bells" and "Annabel Lee", three of the most re markable product ii>r,s or the human mind. The popularity of the "Raven" is world-wide, and justly too, for not even Shakes pea .-e composed a sublim er piece. Tb? jwr??t i??se? hie esr!" love, Lenore (Innoncencfc) and ls vls* I ?ted by the raven (reuWcc). in o'Jrer words the Raven 1? th? haly ?tory oT the tragedy of a soul seeking to allay its immortal thirst or trath and beau ty and falling at last in thc shadow of disappointment and sorrow.

UOCOCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO o A FILIBUSTER 3 . - o By Savoyard. o o o ooooooooooooooooooo (Columbia State.) In these days when statesmen In congress set about a filibuster, they report to hearings before the commit tro having the matter in charge, and interested parties appear to tell thc committee what it must do with the measure. The hearings on the tariff question would make enough volumes to AU a large library, and most of them are the pleas of manufacturers for protection and for privileges confer ring upon the the power of taxation for special interests, Hearings are for two or three purposes-to cal?le con gress, to bully congress, to delay con gress. The hee'lng appointed for the bill to repeal the ship subsidy .are for de lay. No senator is going to change nie opinion about the bill, but lt is a cost ly proceeding and the people will foot the expense. The ship trust IB now .spending great sums in the endeavor to manufacture public opinion. News papers are Corrupted and false intel ligence sent hither and thither. The presiden", ls slandered and vlilifled and thia subsidy, wrappd in the flag, is playing yeggmen with the people's strong box. It recalls the flrst real filibuster I ever witnessed and that waa a .fl?lsbus ter that was a filibuster. It was the J forty-sixth congress and Sam Ran dall, a protection democrat, waa! the j speaker. The Democratic national convention' had been called to assem ble at Cincinnati in June 1880. Ran dall, ostensibly for Tilden, waa a can didate for thu nomination hituself and he had no intention to allow the tariff Question to go on the boobs. He waa a man of powerful and imperious wiri -a. tremendous personality, and If bc had been a real Democrat and not an old Whig? he would have been presi dent. There is. another Whig very I NMMM?M/vM A 1 - ? u _ rv-.-...-... .r-- . -- - -? - ? ???.~ ? r right now. 'Dick Townsend was a Democratic congressman from Illinois and a fol lower of "Bill" Morrison, a eure enough Democrat Dick waa what we call a bright fellow. Good looking, ready, fluent, he was a rather showy man. He waa chairman ot the commit tee on revision of the laws and one day he introduced a bill the title of which to amend certain sections of a certain law and the speaker prompt ly referred the bill to Dock's commit tee. He packed the committee on ways (and m?ini ?ndjelt secure regarding ths tariff. tuvV<s~u he vOu?? not pre vent the brilliant and eloquent Frank Hurd from making one cf the great est pleas fo rf ree, trade.

When the bill waa ready, it broke loose fn congress as they say it sometimes does In Georgia. The speaker waa speechless with as tonishment and convulsed'with rage. But he rallied his forces-that Penn sylvania set, Converse and Warm i of Ohio and other Democrats from other quarters who held that lt waa right to tax one man and bestow the graft on another mau. But he Would have been, engulfed had not "Pig Iron" Kelley, Tom Read, Julius Caesar Burrowa, Garfield, Mc Kinlay su entire Republican ?Id* come to the rescue just aa Mann and Murdock led the cohorts to the supr port of Champ Clark the other day when he bpoke to a bill involving, the Identical principle-the taxing of the Mississippi valley to bestow the swag upon an opulent and bloated ship trust. _ Or course it Was absurd for Dick townsend's committee to assert Jur isdiction over the tariff, and nuwadays -since Tom Reed performed a par liamentary operation on ' "''l?ETOiJ the bill would be withdrawn and sent to the ways and means Instanter.
