The Redbones Hold a Memorial Meeting in Privateer in Honor of Their Revolutionary An? cestor, Tom Gibbes. Mr. Editor : We have already spoken in tnese columns about the neglected grave (in Ais township) of Tom Gibbs, the worthy Revolutionary character, from whom most of the Privateer Redbones are descended. The thought occurred to us that it would be an interesting occasion if we could get these people together, let them hold a memorial meeting in honor of Gibbes and dean off the graveyard. We mentioned the idea to some of the Redbone?, who were pleased with it and the meeting was held Thursday, August 13, the same day as the Sumter campaign meeting and we were nuable to be present. A good many Redbones were present, ?s well as some white gentlemen, one of whom, Mr. C. R. F. Baker, has kindly furnished the ac? count of the meeting which we give below. J. E. Smiling, who called tb? crowd to order, married a granddaughter (in the female line) of Gibbes. We regret exceed? ingly that we were not able to be present on this occasion, which was of unique interest *id we desire to return our appreciative thanks to the Redbones for the kind manner in which we were alluded to at the memorial meeting. McDonald Furman. Ramsey, August 17, 1896. The descendants and friends of Thomas Gibbes assembled at his grave for the purpose of memorializing him who was a soldier of the Revolutionary war. The assembly was called to order by Rev. Jas. B. Smiling and singing '-'Life is the time to serve the Lord," also by reading ?.??alm j 144. Prayer by Rev. L. Chavis. Hymn 2d, "There is a LaDd ot Pure Delight." Mr. C. R. F. Baker being present, was nominated bj Re7. L. D. Cnavis as secretary j and on being elected ?greed to servp. Nelson Cbavis then addressed the assem- j bty, saying : "Our ancestor, Thomas Gibbes, j who we huve met^here to memorializs, is my i great grandfather. I do not know where or j when he was born. He fought through the 1 Revolutionary war. After the war the gavernment granted him 900 acres of land here, on a portion of which he was buried, for bis faithful services during the war. "My grandfather John Obavis, who also fought through the same war with Thomas Gibbes, was born io North Carolina on the j Roanoke river near a town named Halifax. I He was wounded during the war in the right shoulder. He fought gallant and gay. His horse was kilted under him, he exclaimed, never mind, gentlemen, we have free liberties and land to live upon. "He came here and married Polly Gibbes, daughter of Thomas Gibbes. He then moved to Orangeburg County and there died, after which his wife returned here." The second address was by the Rev L. I). Chavis who spoke of his ancestors, snyiog that he regretted not kuowing more about them. He spoke of the kindness and protec? tion always shown them by the white people and especially of the medical attention of Drs. C. R. F. Baker and John H. Furman. He exhorted his people to try to so iive as al? ways to protect the interest of the white? and to continue to merit their protection. A resolution of thanks was offered by him to Mr. McDonald Furman who had done so much ia brioging about this occasion, and who was to have addressed the meatiog, also to Messrs. C. R. F. Baker, F. H. Bethune and S. A. Harvin for the interest shown in their oause. Rev. J. E. Smiling addressed the assembly, thanking Mr. McDonald Furmao for the in? terest that he has tnken in them Ho also begged that bis relatives strive to live true and upright lives worthy of thew warrior j ancestor. Mr. C. R. F. Baker tenderfd the thanks of I Mr. McDonald Forman in his absence, and ! i also the thanks of Messrs. F. Fi. Bethune, S. A. Harvin, himself and the whites who hare befriended them at all times, saying that he hoped that their friendship would continue j in the future, und that, at all times we would j be willing and able to befrisnd and protect each other in all that was good and just. $100 Reward $100.

He wa3 au earnest, and ardent advocate of the New County (Salem). Allow me to congratulate my young friend, Furraan, on his good run. 'Try again, Hs that fights and runs away, Will live to fight another day." - mm From Meeharjicsville, MECHANicsviLr.E, August 28th, 1896. One of the pleasantest events of the season was the marriage, on the 26th inst , in the Hebron church, of Mr. Charles Decker, of Penn., to Miss A onie Rhame, of Mechanics- | ville The church, beautiful in its simplicity, j was tastefully decorated with potted plants j and evergreens, by friends of the coontract- ? ing parties. Promptly at 3 o'clock p. ??. Miss Rhame, | a relative of the bride, struck the first chords of the wedding march. The bridal party | filed slowly in and took their places in front of me pulpit, where the ceremony was per? formed in beautiful and appropriate language by Rev. C. M. Richards. Notwithstanding the warm weather, the many friends of the j happy couple were present to witness their j union and jDin in best wishes for their con-j tinned happiness and prosperity. Immediately after the ceremony the bride and groom started on their bridal tour. Mrs. Edwin Rembert is still very unweil. Mrs. John A. McCutchen has been sick for some time and we regret to learn that she ?3 still in a critical condition. Fever is still prevailing to a considerable extent in the surrounding country and it is difficult to aecribe it to any particular cause. Cotton is in all stages of opening, growth and maturing, but the injury already done cannot be repaired and tire prospects are gloomy. Corn about an average crop gener? ally. Sorghum has not been planted as ex? tensively as last year. Pity 'tis so. The potato and rice crop can't be sized up as yet. The congregation of Hebron church have given their pastor, Rev. C. M. Richards, the month of September as a period of rest. After a very interesting protracted meeting, beginning Aug. ?, and conducted by the pastor, Rev. C. M chards, and assisted by the Rev. W. Fultc , of Darlington, and the Rev. J. G. Richards, Hebron church was dedicated August 9th. Before the dedication prayer by the Rev. J. G. Richards, who had preached the sermon, a short history of the church, erected at a cost of ;3"i,500, was (by request) read by Capt. L. L. Fraser. PRIVATEER PERSONALS. PRIVATEER TOWNSHIP, S. C., Aug. 31, '96. If all elections brought our people together as pleasantly as the primary did at the Pri? vateer Alliance Hall last Tuesday, then elec? tions would be a great benefit in a social way. Mr. Richard Cain, who was one of the elec? tion managers at the Privateer Club, was probably one of the youngest men in the State who has filled such a position this year for he is only a little over 21 years of age. We have been struck with how little real meddlirjg there is with other people's busi? ness in this community. So far as our obser? vation go?9, we suppose this community is freer from this unpleasant species of mischief than most country communities-indeed it can be taken as a model community in this respect. Miss Sudie Furman gave a pleasant scup pernong festival to the Bethel SuDday School last Friday afternooon, which was attended by a good size crowd. The time was passed in games, conversation and eating scupper nongs at the vineyard. Mr. Gresham is carrying on a. protracted meeting at Providence Church. A picnic was given af Cain's mill last Wednesday in honor cf Miss Aiice Melli? ch am p. Mrs. Sarah Dwight is visiting in Rich- ! land. Mrs. Nettie Moffitt and children, cf Colnm- j bia, are visiting in the community. Miss Hattie Whilden has be< n on a visit to j Mrs. Herman Schwerin, in Sumter. Mr. Sink Pool, of this township, was one! of <ke "nov soldiers" of the Confederate army. He will be 50 years oM the first day of October He guarded 1 tie stockade at j Florence, and was about sixteen when he en tered the army. We wonder how many in South Carolina . have thought of the fact that it is exactly ten \ years tonight since the great earthquake of j 1886. Mr. Ed ?tor, our heart goes ?ut iu sincere j thanks to the one thousand Democrats of j this county, who supported our legislatire . candidacy in the recent primary-the first ; time we ever ran for a political office.

In the absence of Chairman Purdy, who had been called to Columbia on business, M BJ" Marion Moise was elected temporary chairman. By resolution it was decided to re?abu?ate the votes of Messrs Kilgore, for the House of Representative?, and Messrs. Commander and Thames for Coroner, in whose vote the errors hadoccurnd. This was done by committee and the votes tabulated. The retabulation showed that Mr. Kilgore received 1,249, and Mr. Sanders 1,359. Mr. Commander 559 and Mr. Thames 568. The result as previously declared, with these corrections, was then by vote of the com? mittee declared as the result of the primary election held on August 25th. Secretary Knight was instructed to pub? lish an official statement of the result of the primary, giving a list of those ruminated and a list of the candidates to be voted for io the second primary to be held on Septem? ber 8th ; and, also, a notice that the same managers and clerks who acted at the first primary will act at the second. -???>? ??>?? -?III IB - Graded Schools. As it has been previously announced, the Graded Schools of this city will resume work on Monday, Sept. 7. It is ardently desired by the authorities of the school thai the parents send their children on the first day, as even a day's absence interferes with the progress of a pupil. Those who have exami? nations to stand will assemble at the Graded school building on Thursday and Friday of this week. Those pupils of grades 1-5 (in? clusive) will assemble oe Thursday : those of grades 6-10 on Friday. A Campaign Charge Nailed. From the liishopville Mirror. The race for County Supervisor is between Marion Dorn and J. A. Rhame. It is reported on good authority that Mr. Rhame is an op? poser to the formation of Salem County and that he threatened to have the gentlemen who were surveying the proposed lines of Salem County pat off his land. The Mirror and its readers would be glad to know if rbis report is simply rumor or facts. Mr Editor- Having been shown the fore? going, I reply : I have been informed by several gentle? men that the proposed southern line of Salem County will run from Lynches River by San? ders X Roads, to Wells X Road3, putting the line one mile above my home. This being true, I am taking no part for or against the formation of the new county. If the people of the territory to be included in the proposed new county desire its formation, I wish them succees. The story that I '-'threatened to have the gentlemen who were sur^eyioe the proposed lines of Saiem County put off" my land is not true. I did tell some negroes who were in my melon patch, with no white person at that time in sight, and whose business I did not even suspect, to move on. J. A. RHAME. COTTON MARKET.

Mullen, a well-to-do groceymeo io the eastern suburbs of the city sat on the side of a bed to-night playing with his four-months cid infant. Suddenly be drew a pistol from his pocket and sent a bullet through his brain. His wife heard the report and rusting into tbe room, found him weltering in blood.

Nervous Prostration Cured by Dr. Miles' Nervine. Prolonged derar.gcni?nf of the nervous system not oniy affects tho '?rain rind men? tal powers, but develops disease in some of thc vital organs. Thc most dangerous of these indirect results is when the heart is affected. This was th*- cuse o? thc Rev.N. F. Surface, Fawn River, MU k .. who writes under date cf Feb. M, 1S05: "Fourteen years ago I had a slight stroke of paralysis. Overwork brought on nervous prostration. I was exceedingly nervous and the exertion of public speaking caused heart palpitation that threatened my life. I used two bottles of Dr. Miles' Now Heart Cure for my heart trouble, and two of Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine for my nervous? ness and feel better than I ever expected to feel apaiu. I can speak for hours without ti.-;ng or having my heart Hatter as it for? merly did, and I have you io thank that I am alive today." On sale by all druggists.
