I staid all night with my old friend and army comrade, W. 11. Sanders, who I find is the same jolly, good fellow he was in the sixties. "Bill" is an encyclopedia on war records. He gave a lot of his rich jokes, escapes and other reminiscences which I propose (when convenient) to put in print for the benefit of our readers. Mr. Sanders first went out with the Johnson Ififles in the ?5th S.

Mr. J. Leon Butler, of Lockhart, was in town last week. Mr?. .Qlenn D, I\jafco was in towtf last week attending to business. Mr. and Mrs. T. B. Butler, of Gaffney, is spending a portion of their honeymoon with Mr. Butler's parents, Dr. and Mrs. P. P. Butler. Treasurer J. II. Bartles was here Saturday, hut I do not think he oollectei much taxes at this place but hope he enjoyed the time spent here. At the services at the Methodist church yesterday, the pastor, Rev. C. P. Burns, rcud the general rules and some articles of faith oT that church. Tho Methodist church at this plaoe is being nicely finished up inside which gives much more beauty to it. > Farmers are continuing to put in i wheat and oats; Some of the seeds > are coming up and the plants look 1 well. Hauling and housing of corn is in c j rogreas. Thp crop "is little moye ) than half as large as last year, but it is more sound. ) There was a law suit here to-day, a > cross indictment for fighting. They ) had "eased" feelings by swapping * Knr wMft nnt satisfied and as a - URUVJ, ) re ult Judge Gregory sent them to t re-enforce the chain gang. I think one got his fine paid. 1 It is reported that two weeks ago a drunken, rowdy crowd came down o from Union to attend a negro frolic, b They drove over very reugh plhces, n turned over the vehicle and' the horses d ran away. I saw where a vehicle ie was turned over and dragged on its d side quite a distance. Last Saturday [" night a rowdy crowd, evidently the same one, came down to give this place another exhibition of their uttei d: degredation and seemed to belitle th<e [>r place. They drove fast through the ry street swearing, shooting and a fev n- of their colored wenches of "be* ao girls" who they had with them, wen is loudly singing "Good-bye My Love Id Uood-bje. ' A crowd was'soon or ne ghnized and followed them, overhaul ing the drunken rowdies at a negr frolic, but most of them scampered ad not however before some of them wer ta. recognized. Now this place may b be glow and go-easy and not much in th '1 eyes of some, and cannot rank wit' ast big cities, but before many nto?e sue nd aots are oommitted here by the degOi ub eratee of other places tbe T ? - - -i?i .i i 1 will find themselves 10 auuub mo jucu aid cament of the boy who tried to wad h my gUn with a hornet's neet.

Mr, Arthur Willard, a more quiet nan cannot be found in the county, a man with an interesting little family who attends to his own business, a regular attendant at church, endeavoring to bring his little ones up i of the Iidfcd; to ba placed inwtrch circumstances, and you might say forced to take human life is certainly a sad picture. A statesman once said, (I believe it was Thos. Jefferson) "that no two races oould live together." It seems that this prophecy is coming true, and the sooner the inferior race learns that it will not do to cross the path of the pure Anglo Saxon race, the better it will be for them. The North may send down their emisaries and carry the Martyrs to Boston for exhibition to keep up that strife, and thereby show their eternal hatred to the South, and cry out, that we are one as much as they please, but no one with any knowledge of past events will believe one word of it. I give the Repqbljcan party the credit for every homicide that )Q committed in this Southland of ours. If they will let us alone, and keep their mouths forever closed I believe that the day weuld not be far distant when homicide and rape would cease, and that the sons of Ilara would learn to be contented in their lot There is considerable sickness in our midst.
