Reunion of Co. "F."
sit Yurborou&lis Mill.
On Aug. 17tli, by invitation, I attended
tin* reunion of Co. K., S. Keg.
?t Yartiorourh's mill on the Knoree. It
nasa very unfavorable day, the rain
poured tlown ami manv thought there
would be no onothere. 1 and my friend
J. L. Hot.sill reaehed the place about 1<?
o'clock and unite a crowd had gathered,
but by 12 o'clock an immense concourse
of people came through the rain and
mud. That grand soldier and citizen.
I'aniel Yarborough, seeing the size of
the Knoree and knowing that the road
along the river would not be passable or
fordable, cut a new road around and
through the hills from bis residence
with his own force of hands for the accomodation
of all those who wished to
attend from this side of the river. At
1 o'clock the sun shone out and the
meeting was called to order by one of
thi> PAtmt'i tiv Mr I P I ) i 11 >i ? < I .? lo.1.1 iof
whose record is known ami needs no
comment here. After appropriate
services he called the roll and hfteen
answered to their names. < hie answered
from Texas by a letter that should he
published for the information of that
grand old Co. K. 14th S. C. Reg. II. I*
Temp'eton. Hostroo county, Texas.
They called 142 and the survivors, as '
you see, are few. They have a complete
record which tells where each comrade
fell. After this impressive service was
over the choir sang, "When the roll is
called up yonder." Then the most
beautiful |>oem was delivered by a fair
daughter of one who hourens county
delights to honor, Mr. James Slone.
One could not help but think and know tha'
this Southland is far superior to any 1
land under the sun.
Then we had an address by Mr. Frank
MeGowan, of Laurens, on the cause of
the great war between the States. It
was a masterly effort, one that I don't
think our northern friends could answer.
Then dinner was announced. Picnic
dinner that surpasses anything the
writer has ever witnessed. The best
order prevailed, all had plenty, no
drinking or profane language was heard
on the ground.
After dinner was over Senator O. P.
Goodwin gave us a tine speech, then
the meeting or remnant of the company
was called to order by their chairman
and our host, Mr. I>. Yarborough, was
unanimously elected a member among
them for his untiring Zealand liberality
towards them ami his mill was chosen
as their next place of meeting one year
hence. We noticed among the survivors
Miss Jane Starns who has charge of the
county home for the unfortunrtes, and
has been in charge of the poor of that
county several years, who had five < "?)
as noble brothers as any lady ever had,
ami lost all <>f them in that cruel ami
unnatural war, ami she is the only one
left, ami the people of Laurens county
electeil her their superintendent of the
poor referred to above, and I suppose
she is the only lady in the State of South
Carolina that is under an otlicinl hotel.
Doesn't that speak well for the daughters
of the Confederacy?
The writer of this had quite a reunion
on that day of old school mates from
the old "Sandy Spring." \Vo talked of
how we played and how we used the
old blue hack spelling book, and how
glad we were when we got over to
"horse-back" when we hid "linker"
farewell, and how the tiring of the cannon
at old Laurens disturbed our playground,
and how sadly things have
changed since(40) forty years ago. Memory
is a strange faculty and often steals
in tritles. When a bad boy of that
school violated the rules and would not
submit, the big boys were ordered to
catch him,'"Jim" Dillard ami "Hill"
MeCray were good catchers, they were
what we would now call policemen, and
while thinking over the tips and downs
we had and how pleasant it is to recall
them, we can faintly imagine what a
pleasure it is for old soldiers to meet.
May their memory never cease, but
ever be fresh in the hearts of those tliev
volunteered to defend and did defend,
until tliev were oveupowcrcd by a heartless
and sinful world.

Green's Excursion
It is an ill wind that blows no one
good, and every dark cloud has a silver
lining. The excursion which left here
with a good ciowd Thursday morning
continued to pick up passengers along
the road until the long train of eight
conches were well lllled on leaving Spartanburg.
All were joyful but trouble
was ahead. After having been delayed
at Spartanburg some hours they made a
start, only to be hung up once more a'
Tryon, where the ciowd scattered and
enjoyed themselves as best they couui
during the long delay at that point. It
was reported in Union that a number of
the excursionists got into trouble by
foraging in a citizen's grape viueyaid
We made inquiry about this and it was
denied by psrii-s on board. Due of the
party was j' iKed up for thing a pistol in
the iucoiporale limits of f e town but
was released. The trait, arrived a
