The eggs are frequently served at a

The Iseunson at seneea cits.
Loopsn. Oct 20th 1a8s

DEAR SESTINEh: 4 went last week
into Oconee county, and was at the
reunion SofG Company B, Palmetto
Sharp Shooters at Seneca, ON sotur-
day, the 17th instant But, few of
the Company were present. But the
warm m-hearted citizens. of Seneca did
all in THEN power to, make the occa-.
sion pleasant one: Their hospitalS
ity seemed to be uubounded, To.
DR.. Cherry, this scribe is indebted
for kindness shown him and "old
Bob" Many thanks to therDr. and
his kind lady. The reunion was held
III an unoccupied store-room-ft. d
up for the occasion q suppose.) Capt.
Lewis was present, and was made
chairman, and J, W., Stribbling sec
rotary. We had some real nice talks
from the boys in gray Chairs and
beards) Colonel Livingston was
present, and, although, just out of
bed from severe attack of ''putrid
sore throat" gave us anice talk. ..
But many old comrades we hoped
to meet, were absent whose absence
filed the hall with gloom. A reun-.
ion of the regiment was provided for.
We went by way of Pendleton and
came back by way of old Pickens,
and have the whole of our lives to re-
pent for our folly. For, to get lost
and wander round and around for a
half day is not pleasant Oconee,
like Pickens has no ''sign boards" to
tell fellow that does not happen to
know which road to take; of course
we took the wrong road. Now when
say "we," mean WE for was not
alone.
We'll at last I reckon we must have
come to the "Wolf Stake" for we
found the Little River Falls, and had
no further trouble in reaching Pick
ems soil. And crsssing the Kcowee
at Old Pickens, (and by the way
when we was wandering in the evil
delness, young lady of whom we
tried to enquire the way, told us, it !
was gone, had moved "Iong ago') |
undertook to go by way OF Clayton's |
bridge on the Twelve Mile-and did, !
but woe be unto rls-aftcr we crossed
the river
Ny travelling companion said he
had never saw any order iiscUntin- !
unS the road "from there to Union
(coloreO Camp Ground" I suppose
it must have passed before THE SEN
TINEL began to publish the doings of
County Commissioners III court as
Scmbled--Go on dear old SENT1NIL L
and keep us posted and we will try
to govern ourselves accordingly.
But my compunion left me at Easlcv,
and so I've no one to blame but my
self for undertaking to come to Da-
cusville via the new Dacusvi!lc and
EaSlcy road and if any one wants to
know where the road is set upon its
edge, if he will take that road he
will find it before he gets to Gcrogc's
Creek, yes, and if he will look he can
see the bridges across those bitches
OF gulleys have slid down the hill
too, and then that piece of road be-
tween the new Pumpliirtown road
and old Mt. Carmel road. Well, j.
K. l.. says it is dangerous to travel
with loaded wagon, but l must go
to the offices.
Since the above was written and
in type this road has been worked
and those bridges have been brought
back to their places and ordered to
stay while double tens last.

Mr.. EDIToR: think that the man
who is after justice has n right to an Of
flee, whethor he gets it or not. This is
notice to all. I am plainly speaking of
the unknown friend who is opposed to SO
much lynching. We have law in South
Carolina by which man is arrested and
tried, whether he is guilty or not guilty
of the crime wherewith he is charged.
Any man who is non compus ments
could takenp a club, and rob an innocent
man of his life. see in THE SENT1NEs
that the life of Culbreath has been taken
There is no lawyer thatcan do the lynch
ers any good. Culbreath's life is spent,
and lewyef with sound Judgment will
not undertake TO defend thom.

And bring them here to swap.

Why not your money bring,
And trade with the man

Buy his goods and wares,
Help to lessen his cares,
Show him that You don't

Try his Grits and Rice,
His Teas are very nice,

And to complete your happiness,
just buy homemade Tray.

BAY Cry, Mich, August 12.-This morn
ing about 9 o'clock a telephone dispatch
was received by Sheriff Brennan, stating
that the strikers had forcibly shut down
Carrier, Heath & Co.'s salt block and ask
ing assistance He responded with num-
Der of deputies and reached the scene as the
strikers were leaving. He ordered them to
disperse at which they yelled and hooted
at him. He proceeded to talk to them, but
they refused to disperse, whereupon he un-
dertook to arrest one OF them whom ne
thought was the leader. The strikers inter-
fered and for some minutes great disorder
reigned. Clubs were drawn and used on the
officers, and they pulled their revolyers;
Sheriff Brennan was shot in the forehead
by an unknown man in the back OF the
crowd. The ball grazed the skin as the
officer happened to turn his head. He also
received blow on the left side OF the head
with a club. He fired two shots from his
revolver, and few other shots were ex-
ceanged by the officers and the rioters.
When blood began to flow the rioters began
to diperse in all directions. The deputies
arrested nine and now have them in jail.

Death Of James McNally Yester.
day.

About six weeks ago James McNally,
barkeeper in Tudor's Bijnn, on Rrnadw"y'
was shot in the leg by man named rat.
MCann. 1t was claimed at the time that
the shooting was accidental, and the
shooter was allowed to leave town. The
wounded man was carefully attended and
nursed, and was several weeks ago well
enough to be out with the aid OF crutehes.
However, it seems that he was destined to
be unfortunate, for he fell and broke his
leg lust where the bullet had entered. The
physicians were again called in and treated
the wounded member hut the hurt was ol
40 serious character that radical reme-
dies were required. Yesterday, after con-
sultation, it was decided that the leg
would have to be amputated and the oper-
alton was accordingly performed ny Dr.
Holmes, assisted by Drs. Dudley and Z. >.
Whitford. At the time of the amputatiOn
the natient was so low that the physicians
exnressed the belief that he could not sur
v;ve the shock, and their fears were well
grounded. for about $50 O'Clock he' died.
Deceased was about 30 years OF age and
had been in Montana for some time. he
was a member of the Knights OF Pythlas
and his remains were taken in charge by
the Butte members OF that organization
and will be buried from their hall this
afternoon at s clock. But little is known
of the previous history OF the young man,
and his sad and unexpected death mas Cast
a gloom over the friends he had made dur
ing his residence in the camp.
