William Ellison, a highly respected colored citizen of Stateburg, and the last survivor of the widely known firm of H. & W. Ellison, gin makers, a name and business long identified with the old "Boro," died at his home at Stateburg on Sunday morn? ing, July 24th, having just passed his 85th birthday-on tho 19th instant. Be and his brother Henry succeeded their father, Willam Ellison, who was the investor and maker of the well known Ellison fein, and continued the business in the same shop, which is still standing in Stateburg. His family has always been highly respected as colored citizens, and he was a communicant of the Church of the Holy Cross, Stateburg. His health*' was never robust, and a walk to his fields on one of the very hot days during the preceding week brought on the attack which at bis advanced age, was necessarily fatal. He was twice married, bis second wife being from Canada. She survives bim and lives at the old homestead with bis broth? er's widow and children. His funeral services, conducted by the Rev. W. H. Barnwell- were held at the family burying ground, near their residence at 6 o'clock Monday afternoon. The Survivors' of Meeting We regret we could not attend the joint reunion of "Cc. D," S. C. V., and Co. "B" 5th S. C. M., held at Tom Burkett's Grove about two miles southwest of Sumter, /S. C., but oar foreman was absent ; to the initiated that is enough. From all accounts it was a very en? joyable affair. The day had been purposely selected, it being the 43d anniversary of the first battle^f Ma nassas, and the first^real fight of the war in which ""Co. D" had taken part. It had been under fire before, notably on the 18th July, 1861. when, at Mitchell's Ford it manned the trenches and for hours under the shell? ing of the Federal troops, impatiently awaited orders to take part in the fray. Of those present who took part in the fight of the 21st were: J. D. Wilder, S. J^ Bowman (lovingly known to his old comrades by the nickname of (Old Rock.) Perry Moses, T. H. Bur? kett, Matthew E. Haynsworth, S. F. Flowers and H. C. Moses. The reunion was a grest success, good commanderehip predominated, and the sordid and selfish aspirations of life were for the.moment forgotten, and peace and good will prevailed. Besides the cheer was plentiful and everything nicely arranged, while the "ene" was simply great. It could not be otherwise when it was under the management of those veteran and skillful barbecue cooks, J. D. Wilder, S. J. Newman, and Joe Levan. We hope the survivors and their guests present on the 21st inst, will continue to survive, and keep np these annual reunions, which serve to bring together the noble men "who wore the grey" from '61 to '65, and those of the next and succeeding gener? ations, who will haveindellibly impress? ed upon their minds the grand . senti? ments which actuated the southerner to give up his life for his country. The bitterness of war has been heal? ed by the lapse of time, and peace and plenty now smile on this God's chosen country. No one can say ought but in praise of our State new, except in one respect viz: that human life is held too cheap. We sincerely hope that the day is not far distant when that just reproach will be a thing of the past, and that South Carolina in her quick punishment of the law breakers, will show to the world that she bas truly applied the knife to the cancerous sore which is now sucking out her heart's blood.

Thci ballgame at the park Thursday afternoon between the K. of P. team acd tae Dalzell team was an interest? ing a.id snappy exhibition of fast ball playing by two first class amateur teams. There is fine material in both teams and they all play ball for all they are worth. One of the prettiest plays of the came was made by Par? nell and Smith of Dalzell. The Pythias won the game by a score of 9 to 3, but they bad no walk over, although the score would indicate that the Ealzell boys were outclassed. Mr. A. K. Sanders, of Hagood um? pired the game and his decisions were so correct and impartial that both sides were satisfied.

They were Well Pleased With the Camps and Treatment In Columbia. The Sumter Light Infantry and the Second Regiment band returned from tbe'Stat? Militia encampment in Co? lumbia on tLe 6.30 train Wednesday afternoon. The Second Regiment was paid off Wednesday morning and broke camp about 1 o'clock. The officers and members of both the company and band expressed them selvs as having been well pleased with the camp and the treatment they re? ceived in Columbia. They had to work hard while in Camp and the ac? commodations were what was to be expected in a camp and they have no complaint to make that their quarters and fare were not np to the tourist hotel standard. They say that they had no ground for complaint and have none to make, but at the same time they felt that they were indebted to the vigorous kick made by the Third Regiment for the improvement in the accommodations and the better treat? ment given the Second Regiment. There have been no developments in the railroad deal and the rumored purchase of the cotton mill property has not been consummated. The County Board of Control met Monday and reorganized, the term of Chairman W. M. Sanders having ex? pired. The board consists of j Silas Mellett, C. W. St, sell and W. S. Chandler.

The Colamhia State Jnly 21 said in a leport of the "'Smoker" tender? ed the officers of the Secoud Regiment at the Columbia Rotel last night: "While the officers were being enter? tained in the reception rooms, the Second regiment band was discoursing inspiring mnsic from the balcony of the hotel. Director Shumacher is a musician of unusual talent, and his band is the best which has ever been heard here-with the possible excep? tion of the Artillery band, and some thir.K that the Second regiment band is every bit as good as the famed mu? sicians of Sullivan's Island. The people of the city who promenaded in front of the hotel were surprised and delighted by the splendid mnsic of the bati-1 during the concert. The march music durring the parades has been complimented frequently upon, but the Second regiment band last night gave a concert which would have pleased the most exacting music lov? ers. " The Recorder's Court was again well patronized Tuesday and Alderman Haynsworth, wbc presided dealt out exact justice with promptness and dis? patch.
