Dr Robert Bridges has been apnointed noet laureate of England to succeed the late Alfred Austin. Most of us did not know that there was such a British poet, hut we daresay he will fill the bill with the otium turn diqnitate that characterized his distinguished predecessor. In defending himself from the criticism aroused by his lecture policy Secretary of State Bryan said that he intended to deliver these paid lectures only during his vacation period. As he was delivering a paid lecture at the time he made this statement, Mr Bryan must intend to take a vacation whenever lie has a lecture date. The projected new county, ' 'Enoree," with Woodruff as the county seat,failed in Tuesday's election, despite the fact that the town of Woodruff cast 437 votes solidly in favor of it. The, proposed county was to be formed from portions of Spartanburg and Laurens counties and the movement was repudiated in both counties by overwhelming majorities. Spartanburg voted 1,053 against the new county to 745 for it, while Laurens went 310 to 143 against it. Under the law the new county would have required a twothirds majority in both counties af-j fected to make the movement sue-; eessful. Charles D Dixon, United States immigration inspector, was shot in J the back by Mexican Federal soldiers at Juarez Friday and may die. The United States has made formal demand upon President Huerta for the arrest and punishment of the soldiers who shot Dixon. THINGS SEEN AND HEARD AT GETTYSBURG "POOR CONRAD" CONTINUES IN- ! TEREST1NG DESCRIPTION OF GREAT REUNION. Editor County Record:? Since my return from Gettysburg I have met many of the readers of your valuable paper who said they were much pleased with my letter and the description of the camp of the Blue and the Gray,and all seemed glad to hear that it was a pleasant meeting between those old survivors of the great conflict. I have been much gratified to hear so many express themselves so pleasantly. I brought a few relics from the; battlefield?a piece of a 12-pound bombshell. It was found upon the ( ground that was fought over by i. Longstreet's corps near where my company was engaged. It was the same kind of shot used by guns of Horry's battalion,to which our com-j; pany was attached. I could not rec-11 ognize the piece as being fired from our guns.but if the hellish noise and | demoniac sounds could be made by it now I would recognize that it came from the Yankee guns. But, * alas! like the heroes that fell on those j three fateful days, it lies still in 1 death. ' Dear readers, much has been said ' f and written about this great strug- J gle, but its history in full will never 1 be told. To have a history of that * war in one book would be like the * blue-back spelling-book to the high- ' est college of education and many 1 times over. Armies were fighting f somewhere every day in one or 1 more of the thirteen States. A large 1 volume could not hold accounts of 1 what would happen each day. A ' book would be a newspaper for ev- ( ery day, which would be 1,460 books ( of large size to give anything like a ( full account; but, as I have said be- 1 fore, let us now cultivate a peace ' worthy of a Christian nation and < confess that God is blessing us every 1 day. Let us thank Him from the ' bottom of our hearts, although a i memory of sadness still lingers in our minds sometimes when we think I of the lost ones who lie buried in un- 1 known graves North. South, East 1 and West, and to this day the moul- I dering bones of the Southern volun- 1 teer are unexpectedly turned up by i the farmer's plow. Many gray-hair- 1 ed loved ones are still weeping. I can imagine that I see the poor mother, perhaps a lonely widow,who gave the only son she had, on her knees asking Him Who is not only the God of storms but also of battles and raging seas, to guard and protect her darling,with her last words. "0,where is my boy tonight?" Dear readers, I am not writing this style of letter because I wish to create emotion or cause a swelling in our throats, but I think to give way to such feelings at times is good for us. It does the writer good,showing him the reed he leans upon. In Davy rV/\/?lrofrf'a lifo if folio of fl horn whn went to battle on horseback, "To ham cam the saddle, All bluidy to see; To ham cam the steed. But to ham never cam he." Well, now,I will tell a little more about the field of Gettysburg and some gentlemen I met there, who were the jolliest party I ever saw,to be entire strangers. The spokesman was a Mr Rausenberger,superintendent of the Germantown almshouse, Philadelphia. He gave me a couple of cigars, but not being a smoker, I have given them to the Kingstree Hardware Co, and they can be seen in tKoir oVinnr roinrlnni tnorotVior urith AM VliVIt UiiV ?l niUUVVT} VV^VVtiV* TXVI* a piece of 12-pound bombshell and a portion of rock from "Devil's Den." I was in company with Mr Moultrie Rie 1 exploring the battlefield when by accident we came upon the party of gentlemen mentioned above at a large farmhouse with beautifully shaded lawn. They came all the way from Philadelphia in large automo-1 biles and were having a big time] among themselves when Mr Hied and myself came up on them. As the piace was nearly surrounded with evergreens,they did not see us until we were within a few feet of them, but the same instant they rushed up to us with hats off and outstretched hands,as brothers should meet broth Summer Hints t Mothei Seasonable Advice on the Health of Children In Hot Weather. It is well that mothers be advised not to over-feed the children during the hot months. No one requires as much food in summer as in winter. Feed the children the lighter and more easily digested foods. See that the milk is cool and kept away from flies. Be careful that the fruit is ripe,and if the child begins to scratch the skin, indicating too much acid in the blood,deprive it of fruit for several days. It is quite natural that under these conditions there will be some digestive disturbance, such as constipation, indigestion or summer diarrhoea. It may be accompanied by a cold or by eruptions of the skin. The j timely remedy, and one which you | pan r?>lv nn fnr results.is a small dose of Dr Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin on retiring-, and by morning the bowels will move and the trouble will vanish. The exceptional tonic ingredi?nts in this remedy will tone the stomach and enrich the blood, and the child will feel its usual selfapain. Many families like that of Mr Wiliam Weber,29 Edwin Place, Buffalo, M Y,who uses it for foul breath and >rs. They recognized us at sight to >e Confederate veterans, and nothngly seemingly could have given ;hem more pleasure. There was the weight of enjoyment at that spot, rhey were all out in the shady yard, i long, broad bench was lined with :he choicest wines and liquors. With :heir arms around our necks th^y ed us up to the board, where the ?od of wine seemed to sit, with smiles to glasses and bottles. We were asked to join them in drinks, which we would not refuse, though hVip turn nlH rinnfpdprflf.PH wprp nnt Did topers. It was not only once.but jvery two or three minutes,we must Lake another. Mr Ried and I saw at 5nce that our drinks for prudence should necessarily be small. At last, when the glass was handed .'around again, I said, "Gentlemen, we are miles from camp and if we take any more we shall not be able to reach it today." "That's all right," said Mr Rausenberger, "Pennsylvania has been treating South Carolina all this while, now South Carolina must treat Pennsylvania, and if you must go then we will send you to the camp in our automobile." Mr Raussenberger's beautiful daughter called us all up in line and with kodak took our pictures in a twinkling. We drank many toasts to the Gov ernor and good people of Pennsyl-1 vania. We were stowed in the big automobile and with many good-byes and, "God bless you alls," we sped away waving them many farewells. What a pity,my friends, all South Carolina was not present. All certainly was genuine friendliness. There were bearded men and hoary heads in that group, but you could see a swelling in the throat, an almost choking sensation, words sometimes half uttered. It was an occasion that will long be remembered by all present as well as by "Poor Conrad,"whose time of remem brance is not long, and that was not the only spot where good fellowship and the outpouring of hearts were felt and seen. I think from now on a day should be set aside and made a legal national thanksgiving day in memory of the meeting of the Blue and the Gray.rechristening a nation twice as great and powerful as it was a few days before.

Old Blllle Moore* Ex-slave* Shot Through Window of His Home. One of the most outfageous and unprovoked murders that has taken place in this county in some time has come to light from the Cades section. Billie Moore, a reliable, peaceable and highly respected old negro, an ex-slave, while taking shelter from a storm in the home of John Nelson, colored. Saturday night, July 19, was fatally shot by some one passing the house and died from the effects of the wound Thursday evening last. Two young white men, brothers, Tom and Larry Poston were arrested and are now being held in jail here for the murder. Coroner H U Kinder completed the inquest Tuesday, when sufficient evidence was adduced to warrant the holding of the Poston boys in jail to await the action of .the grand jury. Chester Chavis,a young white man, was struck by a Seaboard Air Line train Saturday afternoon near Columbia and fatally injured. It is alleged that Chavis was asleep on the track. - EVEI WATCHFUL A Little Care Hay Save Many Klngstree leaders future Trouble. Watch the kidney secretions.
