the city mains. Pure water is a better medi?

The Confederate veterans in this section of
the county met at Rembert's store on Satur?
day afternoon last, for the purpose of organ?
izing a camp. The meeting was not very

cal meetings held that day. but those that
were present were very enthusiastic on the
subject. Fifteen names were enrolled as
members. The election of officers resulted as
follows: Jno. J. Neasoo, Major; J. W.
Yonng. Aoja ta nt : TD McLeod, 1st Lieu?
tenant; J. M. Ross, 2d Lieutenant; Dr. E.
J. Rembert, Surgeon ; Sumter Belk, Chaplain.

tinguished sons, the late Col. James D. Gra?
ham, who was a gallant and :rue soldier of
th? "lost cause." Another meeting of the
canap will te held at Rembert's store on Sat

The joint meetingof all denominations held
in the Methodist Church Wednesday night for
the purpose of organizing a Gospel Temper
once Union was attended by a small crowd of
persons interested in the movement. A local
branch of the Union was organized with Mr.
Joel E. Brnnson as president and Rev. J. W.
Daniel, Secretary. The executive committee
elected was as follows : Revs. C. C. Brown,
N. W. Edmunds, T. G. Herbert, J. C. Trau

The minstrel show that the boys of the
Rope Reel purpose getting up for the purpose j
of edifying the public and buying a calico
mustang pony to pull the reel to fires and re?
lieve the aforesaid boys of the labor of pull?
ing the reel themselves, is the only thing now
remaining on the list ot public entertainments
that appeal to the good offices cf the liberal
hearted public, and as thi3 quasi-public char?
itable function, is not, as yet, exactly in
sight it is to be hoped, with all due de/erence
and respect to the enthusiastic amateur fire?
men, that they will keep it out of sight for a
considerable season longer, that is, until a
more convenient season for the presentation
of such a public function shall arrive. The
latest advices the writer bad from the mana?
gers of the Rope Reel Calico Pony Benefit
Minstrel Show concerning the performance,
are to the effect that the company was still
diligently practicising and would continue
to practice until a degree of artistic burnt
cork proficiency had been attained to war?
rant a public appearance in the glare of the
electric footlights of the Opera House beneath
the gaze of approving and applauding hun?
dreds. Let us hope, as has been already
said, with all due deference and respect, that
they will continue to practice for a brief spell
longer. At the end of the spell the public
may be in a frame of mind and in a financial
condition to contribute freely towards the
Calico Pony Fund. There is but a single j
obstacle that hovers above the serene sky of j
this hope and that is a wager ol' a quarter of !
a dollar that was made some, days since in \
the bearing of the writer. This wager was
that tbecaiico mustang pony would be puli- ?
ing *he rope reel and throwing dust in the
eyes of Delgar and Monaghan Squads within i
the period ot thirty day?. This wager made .
in all seriousness, struck the young and
trusting Hope on 'he back of its tender and

MACSVILLE, S. C., MAY ?, 1896.
Mr. Thomas E. Richardson.
Sumter, S. C.
Dear Sir : in the Watchman and Southron, I
of April 29th: taken from the Daily Item, I j
see vnnr communication headed "Revolution- j
arv History." in which you tiiHke some in
quirifi"? in regard to thc scene of battle be
tween Gen. Sumter and Maj Frazier, of the i
British army March 6th, 1781. According
Lyman C. Draper, the historian, Maj Fra?
zier encountered Su m ter'a forces about 6
miles above Bishopville, at a place called
Stirrup Branch, between Camden and Bishop- j
ville and routed Sumter. A running fight!
then took place, Sumter reheating, and fight- ?
ing his way down Lynches creek, past and j
brough where Bishopville now is and on ;
^wn some four or five miles below to a
bridge across Lynches Creek, then called
Radeliffs Bridge, crossed over to the Dar?
lington side and bur-M the bridge behind
bim, and by that means freed himself from
the British. Sumter then went to where *n
old settler lived in Darlington, hy name
Michael M ison, who was a great grandfather
of Col. W. D. Scarborough, rested and re?
cruited his forces. When a boy I saw
Michael Mixon's name cut on a beech tree in
Lynches River Swamp, dated 1785.
