investigation showed that some
party or parties had prized one of

marks on the door and facing, indi
cated that a pick had been used to do
the work. It is said that the place
was brosen open by friends of Ross'

“Uncle Jimmie” Writes About the Late
and Present War.
Manchester, Vu., May 20.—Al
though my communication may not
interest some of your young readers
vet there are many old solders now liv
ing who will recollect the scenes that
transpired in and around Richmond
in the sixties. These scenes are now
being enacted for another war and,
whilst some may think it will be of
short duration, it may be extended
to an indefinite time. I visited
Camp Lee a few days ago and it re
minded me very forcibly of the time
when I was a soldier, camping at the
same place. I saw the soldier boys
witli their little tin cups and the at
tendants were passing around the
coffee poured out of a large eouldron.
They seemed to have enough to sat
isfy the inner man. I thought how
it was with me thirty-seven years
ago, we hud plenty then but before
the war closed we were glad to pluck
a few grains of corn from the field to
sustain life. I hope these boys will
never have to pass through what we
hud to undergo then, but the fortunes
of war arc unknown. My old friend,
Col. J. L. Strain, might perhaps, tell
your readers more than I can about
tlie last war, for I was somewhat
fortunate. After being in active ser
vice for a short time I was discharged
being unable to perform active duty
and, being a school-mate of the sec
retary of war, James A. Seddon, I
was made commissary of Danville,
which position I filled until the war
closed, consequently I did not have
as hard a time ns some of the soldiers
of that campaign did, but I hud a
brother who walked bare footed to
Gettysburg, and he could have been
tracked by the blood from his feet on
that march, and his subsistunce was
the com from the fields. Young
boys that are npw in camp have no
idea what they will have to go
through.
1 see that the next call for troops
will be from the colored population.
That's right, they are now American
citizens and have us much right to
fight when culled upon us anybody
else. A great deal of blood was
spilled by southern men in their
behalf, and now let them have a little
taste of war, and they will know how
to appreciate its benefits.
It is said that we have about a
million surplus population. If this
be so, those who volunteer in the
present war will not be missed to a
great extent. As far as I am indi
vidually concerned, I do not believe
that we had any especial business en
gaging in the present war. If the
blowing up of the Maine itud been
made the cause it might have been
all right’to have resented that, but
tc free Cuba, (whilst our sympathies
are with the poor creatures who have
been greatly oppressed) it was not
worth the expense and loss of life
that may occur, to engage in it.
But it is too lale now to talk about
it as war lias been declared, and our
people will have to fight it out. Some
say it is a small matter, we can soon
whip the Spaniards. Not so, the
Spaniards are a fighting nation, they
are educated to fight, and they are
up to all kinds of trickery and will
take every advantage. Besides we
know nothing of the powers behind
the throne
Your correspondent is enjoying
life the best lie cun under the cir
cumstances. always hoping for better
times, but I um afraid lie will never
see them during the few short years
that he will remain upon this earth.
If at any time I can tell your read
ers anything new from this section
of the country I would be glad to do
so. “Uncle Jimmie."

A Runaway Accident.

Ancient Documents.
Mr. J. A. Gaffnoy has in his pos
session a relic in the shape of a letter
dated July 15th. LSI7. It was writ
ten ity Henry or Alfred Burns to his
mother. It was mailed at Altoona,
Ga.. and addressed to Cooperville,
(now known as Cherokee ford, Chero
kee county) Union county, S. C. Mr.
Gaffney also lias a deed conveying a
tract of land from John Chisholm to
John Amos, which was drawn by
Michael Gaffney, his grandfather, the
first settler of this section and for
whom Gaffney City was named, which
bears date of January 13th, 1SD7.
Both papers are remarkably well pre
served and the manuscript is plain
an eligible. Mr. Gaffney justly
prizes these relics very highly.
Concerning Announcements.
Wo have received several communi
cations this week nominatingdiffereni
gentlemen for various offices. These,
we could not publish because they
were not nrcornpaned by the necessary
fee for announcing candidates. We
can u..derstnd how our friends should
overlook this important part of the
business but we will have to be rigid
and adhere to the established rule.
The fee has been put down very low
and we cannot do otherwise titan to
insist on a strict compliance of the
rule. Any announcement, accotn-
panied by the f*-e. $3, will receive our
prompt attentien. Otherwise we
will be forced to consign them to the
waste basket.

Remedies to Cure Consumption
and all Lung Trouble*
Nothing could bu fairer, more phii-
anthropic or carry more joy to tha
afflicted, than I lie generous offer of
the honored and distinguished chem
ist, T. A. Slocum. M. C., of New
York City.
He has discovered a reliable and
absolute cure for consumption, and
ail bronchial, throat, lung and chest
diseases, catarrhal affections, general
decline and weakness, loss of flesh
and all conditions of wasting away;
and to make its great merits known,
will send three free bottles of his
newly discovered remedies to any af
flicted reader of the Ledger.
Already his “new scientific system
of medicine" has permanently cured
thousands of apparently hopeless
cases.
The Doctor considers it not only
his professional, but his religions
duty—a duty which he owes to suffer
ing humanity—to donate his infallible
cure.
He has proved the “dreaded con
sumption" to be a curable disease
beyond a doubt, in any climate, and
has on file in his American and Euro
pean laboratories thousand of“heart-
felt testimonials of gratitude" from
those benefitted and cured, in all
parts of the world.
Catarrhal and pulmonary troubles
lead to consumption, and consump
tion, uninterrupted, means speedy
and certain death. Don’t delay unlit
it is too late. Simply write T. A.
Slocum, M. (J., 9S Pine street, New
York, giving express and postoffice
address, anti the free medicine will be
promptly sent. Please tell the Doc
