There is a white man in the

about begging something to eat.
He has been seen about a week.
The last seen of him to know
that he is the same man was

to eat. On Monday night after
he was seen on Sunday, some
man was seen at J. R, Foster's

We do not know whether it is
the same man or not as it was
in the night. The man has red
complexion, is about six feet
tall and will weigh about 165
pounds. He is dirty and ragged
and looks to be about 35 or 40
years of age. -He looks to be a
fool to see him, but. Hovie Single
ton had a conversation with
him and says he has an educa
tion from the way he talk.
He says he is a drunkard and
has been all his life. The mys
tery is he won't tell anyone his
name and no one knows who
he is. Some think he has done
sonme great crime some where
and has escapedl. Th'ie women
of this section are all scared of
him. The sheriff should look
after such men and1 find out
their name. The man has got

Y(es, let us call upon our rep
esentatives in congress to have
his money prorated to each
~outherni state that made this
otton, andl let it be paid b~ackc
s tar as possible to the ones
vhto made it. Some have sug
:ested that it be applied for edut
ational puurposes. I say in the
ame of all honesty if this nmon
y should be paid1 back to1 the
otton states, lot the old1 Contfed
rate soldiers and1 their widows
tave it. And as far as South
)arolina is concerned, she has
omparath~ ely (lone nothing as
eot for her old heroes who have
ustai ned anid maintained the
tonics of their state at all times
vhen they have been called
ipon to do so. But we hope the
ime is n'>t far distant when
outh Carolina will come to the
ront in caring for her old sol.
liers and pay them what she
>wes them. And is it not our
luty, old comrades, not to elect
my more tight wads to the leg
slature? B. C. Johnson.
