O W. Bu hsoan, Judge Presiding yay H| 1900. sawaSjejeas^waSjawi INVITE THE VETERANS? Certainly, By All Meant Ask Them to 8umter. Mr. Cditor: Biil Arp, tbe great humorist of tbe war period, introduced bionelf in one of his inimitable epistles with the lomawhet ?tartliog announcement that be wai "dredful anitboi to say lumthin." I em very much in a like condition and at tbe risk of being considered plegerietie will introduce myself io similar terms I too wiih to fay iome tbing, and if you will allow me to wander around over your co'.unos for just a few mioutes, I will bave my lay and then sit baek quietly, and wait to bear from others oo tbe same line, provided I don't have to wait too long. I do ocl wish to talk about politics, either national, state or county I bave no disposition to discus* tbe merit! of tbe diipenaary, the prohibition ?cbeme, the Pbilippioe war, free silver, or aoy:bicg of kindred nature, but I do wish to e*> some* thing about tbe Goofedorau veteran and tbeir annual Sr?.te rjuoloo, and 16 inquire wky we caooot hi/e that body to meet la tbe City of Sumter in 1901. Tbe City of Sumter is ai near central as any place in tbe State. Her people (I be Ileve) are as patriotic as any. She bss rail? road! coming in from seven different direc? tion!, so that there can be no difficulty io reaching it from aey poiot. Although among tbe largest of tbe interior town* of too State, she baa neter bad aoytbing of tbil character io her midst before. We bave a splendid Opera Bouse io which they can meet, a first class band ibat can play Dine to a finish, and three ice factories to keep tbe boys cool, when tbe band gets through. Why can t ws bavs them here Y Now, Mr. Bditor, I eonteis I am (if you will pardoo tbe expression) a little stuck on rbe movement I do waot to see the old Goofeds come together io thii city oekt vear Taking everything} into coos ideratioo, I can a e oo reason wby we ibould not have tbe largest and graodeet reuoioo here that bai ever beea held by that body. I was present last y?ar at Chester, and saw tbe rennio about to go begging for a place of meeting wbeo noble little Greenwood (several degrees smaller tbao Sumter) at tbe last moment, by telagtaob, estesded tbe invitation for tbe meet log this ysar. Being alone and entirely unadvised, I did not feel warranted la inter? posing any invitation for this ysar. A meet? ing here Would be a means of advertisement of oor oity, to say nothing of tbe iocreaied volume of business that would naturally resuit therefrom. Ai a general tbiog tbe old Confcdi do not esoect gratuitous entertainment, although preparation should be made for lone of this claas Tbe vaet mnjority are wiiliog to pay tbeir way I bave never yet beard an old Confederate eoldier kick at one dollar per day for entertainment at a reunion, as be is tbe easiest man satisfied oo tbe green earth. All be wants is a plenty of rations (1 don't mean army rations) ,a place to talK, spin war yarni, swap lies, aoa a cot on which be may rest bis bead, with a sheet or quilt for covenog, a few liquid refresbmeots, and he is happy. Strange ai it may appear, the old fellows baveo'i forgotten tneir training and they don't mind ten in a room of ordinary diae&iions any more than they did four io a G x 8 tent thirty-eight >ears ago. Now Mr. Klitor, we (I lay we because thii lurjict ' as been discussed by a goodly num? ber of old Coofsds) would like to bave an expression of opioioo for the community oo this subject, for it will be necessary, it tbe reonioo comes to Sumter, for our citisios generally to throw open tbeir doors and take the old boys io Camp Dick Anderson will soon be called upon to elect delegates to tbe State reuoioo, and thoae delegate! should be iostructed to eitsod tbe invitation and urge its acceptance We have in tbie city an organisation of boos of Confederate Veterans and daughters also. We would like both of tbem to become in? terested to this matter, and when the invita? tion goes up, let it be spontaneous and uoao* imous, from our city government, from the cltiseoa and lrou> 'be Gamecock County.

A Geni.au traveler has discovered some quaint epitaphs iu a Tyrolean cemetery. On a tombstone In the valley of Tux was this inscription, "In pious remem? brance of the honest widow Anna Kriedl, 40 years long." A miller is thus remembered, "In Christian mem? ory of-, who departed this life with? out human assistance." A farmer whose Initials only are given and appears to have been the author of his own epitaph h.,3 this memorial: "Here ro^ts iu God F. K. He lived 20 years .nan and 37 years as husband." On the toi?? of a man who fell from a roof acd was killed are these words, "Here fell Jacob Hosenknopf from the roof into eternity." This will of a desolate husband caps the climax, "Tears cannot bring thee back to life, therefore 1 weep." The ancients believed that rheumatism was the work of a demon within a man. Any ods who has had an attack of sciatic or in fl ammatory rheumatism will agree that the infliction is demoniac enough to warrant tbe belief. It bae never been claimed that Chim berlaio'e Pain Balm would cast out demons, bu; it wil cure rheumatism, and hundreds bear testimony to tbe troth of this statement. One application relieves the pain, and this quick relief which it affords is alone worth [.'many times its cost. For sale by Dr a. j. China. OFFICIAL SALES.

The late J. Bcbabelitt. the famous Zuricli publisher and author, was a shrewd business man, an excellent lin? guist, a skillful writer ami probably the most savage publisher who ever lived. When he accepted the famous memoirs of Count von Arnim, he wrote on the postal card with the acceptance the proviso. "1 reserve the right to cor? rect your infernally bad grammar." To an aspiring poet who had sub? mitted manuscript he answered by postal card: "I refuse to be disgraced by printing your doggerel. I don't re? turn the copy because you didn't in? close enough postage. If you will send it, with the price of this card, I will send it to you, but I don't think the stuff Is worth the expense on your part" One of his postal cards to a novelist read about as follows: "For heaven's sake, come and take away the unnam nble mass of paper you lc;U here for me to look at!" An ambitious historian was crushed by the following, written, like all of bis correspondence, upon a postal card: "You are making the mistake of your lifo. You don't want to study history.
