Letter From an Old Soldier. Jonesville, S. C., June 15, 1912. Mr. Editor of Union Times: I have been thinking of late a good deal. The pension board of Union county adjourned the first Monday in March, last, all members of the board being present?Dr. M. W. Culp, R. W. Tinsley, H. S. Porter, B. G. Wilburn, and N. B. Eison, composing the board. All expressed the thought that they, had treated all old soldiers and widows tf soldiers justly. Since then I?r. M. W. CulD has fiTOne. He wna a flraf class man and did not hesitate to do his whole duty in every case towards our old wounded and disabled soldiers and wives of soldiers (widows). Next H. S. Porter, an old soldier of Co. C, 7th S. C. Cavalry, was called to the beyond. He did his duty as a soldier and- as a citiden and on the Pension board, for several years and always tried to do what was right; and la&t, our old true and tried friend, R. W. Tinsley. He was a high private in Co. C, 13th S. C. V. He was wounded in the first battle of Cold Harbor, Va., on June 27th, 1862, shot through the right lung and left on the battle-field as dead, later carried to the hospital, and after a long time was furloughed and brought home and placed on light duty. After the war, summer of 1866, I met him at my old Uncle Andrew Floyd's, at Burned Factory, on Tygey river. He asked me about opening a jewelry shop some ...V, T ???? i- TT ... . niieic. 1 was iivm^ in union at tnat time and told him there was an opening for a good man in that line, old man Powell was not doing much, and Christian Keisler gone back to Germany and A. Von Beiman too old to do much, so he came in 1866 and he rented tools from Mr. J. Ed Meng, and later on he bought the tools. He married Miss Sallie Rogers and continjed in the jewelry business and raised i large family. He lost his wife ( rears ago. R. W. Tinsley was a chaf^' ;er member of Camp 708 (T. R. Giles) United Confederate Veterans, at Unon. was color bearer of this camp, and ater on was promoted to division :olor bearer with rank as captain on :ommander's staff, and held this posi;ion up to the time of his death. He ,vas on pension board and did his duty ;owards all concerned. He was a good :itizen and friend to all and will be mcoiu ujr niv ui union anu oy ne more than all the rest. Peace to ,he ashes of all these members of the joard. We will have to have a new >oard next year, as the other member, Vfr. B. G. Wilburn, is a candidate for ;he legislature and will be elected. On the 12th of this month, 1861, I was color bearer of Co. E, 121 S. C. V. I. We had a fight at Vienna, Va, with the Yankees. We did not lose a nan; the enemy lost 300 or more, tilled and wounded and captured. Dur company being in front and nearist the Yankees, who were on board i train coming from Alexander to Danville, Va., on the Potomac river. We charged and killed the first man, i Yankee. I saw his head shot off jven with his lower jaw. They were >n a flat car and were playing cards. \11 four were killed. This Yankee with no head, held his hand of cards, (hearts were trumps), and he held the ice, jack and duce, and his partner ield the king and ten. W. H. Carlisle, :hen a private in our company, was >n my right, and said to me, "He holds ;he best hand for a dead man. W. H. ^Qrlialp io liuinrr in Tnvoo n/vi*r nn/1 s a doctor.

Cavalry all ire gone. My detail for private guard at Gen. M. C. Butler's headquarters are dead, namely, D. A T. Parr, Clough Bishop, Joseph Hancack, ind Luke Swygert. I have been requested by many people, old and young, to write up tome incidents of the great war between the States. I will write again sut hope it will not be so sad. N. B. Eison. The Candidates. This is the year for the candidates. Some are out early and some are late; Some are merry and glad, resigned to fate; Others are solemn and sad and full of hate. There is almost a little host of them, And some are leaving the ring; Quite the thoughtful proper thing, Better than defeat in the closing campaign. Over the State has long been indebtedness, Some of the candidates have told us; Has the Governor with all his rudeness Wiped out this indebtedness by shrewdness ? Half a million dollars in two years. Not by any means a small affair, Surely this is good news for all to hear, And some one deserves a hearty cheer. Taxes have not been made one bit larger, Who can manage business any smarter? These are facts for all to argue, When high taxes has long been the sorrow. _ Come every one to the campaign meetings And hear the wise speeches and hearty greetings; Come for time and chance are fleeting, Come for woman suffrage ia increasing. Husband be sure to bring your wife. She will help to keep you from strife; She needs the candidates' advice. It will enlighten and brighten her life. Wife don't fail to come with your husband, For the sake of your own dear children; Gain some knowledge of political information, It .s an important part of education. Come one and all, both young and old, Let the voice of honest justice call; Remember that it is by our law That we must all either stand or fall. Eliza A. Garner. Kelton, S. C., Route 1. Notice. .

WHY HE WAS CRAZY. (The following was contributed by a subscriber who got the clipping from an old newspaper): A man in the insane asylum gives the following reasons why he is crazy: Some Kin, and Then Some. a. niti/ a ty wiuu? vy * vii u o daughter, and the widow married me Then my father, who was a widower, met my step-daughter and married her. That made my wife the motherin-law of her father-in-law, and made my step-daughter my mother and my father my step-son. Then my stepmother ,the step-daughter of my wife, had a son. That boy of course was my brother because he was my father's son. He was also the son of my wife's step-daughter, and therefore, her grand-son; that made me grandfather to my step-brother. Then my wife had a son. My mother-inlaw, the step-sister of my son, is also his grandmother, because he is her sten-son's child. Mv father is the brother-in-law of my child, because his step-sister is his wife. I am the = brother of my own son, who is also the child of my step-grandmother. I am my mother's brother-in-law. My wife is her own child's aunt. My son is my father's nephew ,and I am my own grandfather. And after trying to explain the relationship in our family some seven times a day to our calling friends for a fortnight, I was brought here?No, came of my own free will. Office Fixtures For Sale. united Mates government requests building that was my office in Union, going to build the postoffice is the report. I have some furniture?desk, chairs and filing cabinets?that you can. now buy very cheap, for the prospects are that as much as I would like to, I may never live in Union again. The desk is a solid walnut one and was bought for sentiment's sake, as well as the chair that goes with it. It belonged to an oia iriena of mine who has gone to his last sleep. The filing cabinets are the best made in oak, modern in every respect and most convenient for anyone who is at all systematic. They cost about S20 each. Miss Ada Hancock, who now occupies the building, or my brbther, Bartow Culp, will show you this stuff and price it to you. If not sold by salesday in July it will then be sold to highest bidder in front of court house.
