r@- Thirty-one years ago last Tusday
morning. about 4,3O o'clock, We stood beside
our good old friend the lato Rev. P J. Sbsnd,
on the Battery at Charleston and saw the
flash of the first gun fired from Fort Johp-
son on Fort Sumter. Never shall We forget
that night and that scone.
We were standing together in tho Charles

nut came in hurriedly and was passing up
the stairs, when Mr.. Shand asked him whom,
or i, our guns would open on Fort Sumter
to which the Col: REPLIED d. nSsh me music Of
the guns before daylight" With everybody
else in Charleston on that memorable night,
we were too excited to think Of sleep, and
Col. Chesnuts iutimation that firing may
soon commence, we went t, the battery and
remained there until long after daylight.
We shall never forget the remark Of a man
s'auding near us, when the first gun was
fred -"that, said he, sounds the death
knell to the institution Of slavery"
The guns Of Fort Sumter did not open
upon the Confederate forts until after day

Death Of a Good Man-Dsmooratio MeetiI


KELToN, April 11.-Planting Of cotton
seed will be the order Of the day this week.
] suppose as l have heard . great many
farmers say they were going to commence
to-day.
When sat dcwn to write to tho TINES
last week, had hopes Of seeing our friend
J. E. Kelly walking round among us in few
days, but instead Of that, we were told the
next day that he was dangerously i'll, and
ON the 9th the startling announcement came
lha, he was dead.
Poor Joe he was good man, kind hus-
band and a loving father. He leaves q wife
and four fathsrless chldren-three boys and
a sweet little girl-to grieve after him. He
had prudently made provision for the sup
port of his devoted wife and children by q
life insurance policy of $4,000 in the Mutual
Insurance Company of New York.

No more disturbs his deep repose,

my section. We had big frost this morn

The warm spell last week put some of the
farmers to planting cotton. The two last
years were very favorable for early planting
of cotton and nearly every farmer is now
anxious TO plant rs early as possible; but
this year may be the reverse of last.
The cold spell has injured all vegetables
in this vicinity, in some instances killing
them.
Mr. Editor, gave your readers some time
ago my views Of the National Trade Union

farmers and all other classes Of people at a
low per cent. My views have not changed !;

SERIOUS EFFECT OF uAsTY LEGIsLA

SERIOUS EFFECT OF HAsTY LEGISLATION.
Columbis, April G.-Governor Tillman
has bad another novel question propounded
to him, which will doubtless involve another
lawsuit before the matter is settled. Assis-
tant Attorney General Townsend, to whom
the matter has been referred, says that no
one wholwas of age in 1882, and who has
failed to take out a registration ticket oan
now do so, and that those who subsequently
became of age and did not take out their
registration certificates in the Same year can
not now do so.
The decision will debar a very great many
voters, and especially a class whom it was
especially intended to atfect. Tho COM
plants now being received by Governor
Tillman comes chiefly from Sumter county,
where some white men-.a~av5uTdanc with

General Townsend.

lowing direct opinion with regard to the
law:

Quick Work with a Chicken.

Prince Bismarck's Old chef, who is
now mead cook in popular Berlin
restaurant, recently won a novel bet
and gave surprising exhibition of his
mastery of the culinary art. He had
wagered 20 that he could kill, clean,
cook, and serve a chicken, all in six
minutes.
The wager was decided at night in the
cafe Of the restaurant in the presence of
a big crowd. The cook appeared at 9
o'clock on an improvised platform, up
on which stood cooking stove. He
held live chicken high above his head
and the fowl cackled loudly. One blow
of keen carver severed the head from
the neck, and the cook began to pick
the feathers with great swittness. 1t
took just one minute to get rid Of every
feather. In less than another minute
the expert had opened and cleaned the
fowl and had placed it upon a broiler on
the gas stove.
The cook busted himself at the
broiler, seasoning the fowl as it cooked.
1t lacked just a second Of the sixth
minute when he stepped from the plat
form and served the chicken nearest
or amid great applause. -London It'd

Blundering into Truth.

The New York Times, which was con-
verified to Democracy during the Mug
wump bolt Of 1884, has Numbered into
an assault upon the Bourbons of Wis
consin. II states that the Democrats of
this state are highly delighted over
President Harrison's remarks on the
sin Of gerrymandering, and thus ex-
plains the cause of their qualification:
The Republican legislature at the last
session conceived and enacted a scheme of
TeGlStrlcting the state which audaclOuSly
ignores every constitutional requirement,
and Is as t1agrantly unjust in partisan
sense as any on record. For example. the
constitution requires that the districts shall
be arranged upon the basis of equal pOpu-
lation. The true basis of population for
legislative districts is 1865 One of the
new districts contains 3S,80l people. an
other Is, 143, another 1928, and another
1928. Some counties are divided in the
most ridiculous fashion. their townships
being set off to piece out districts in other
counties, contrary to common custom and
general convenience. Every district ap-
pears to have been formed upon
q careful study of party advantage. The
lniQuity OF the iuggle appears conspicuous
BY IN the rearran cement OF senatorial dis
trictS. SO that 168.S09 people who partici-
pated n the senatorial election of 1890 may
vote for senators again III 1892, While 23l,-
Z1O pCODIC VIII NOlG0 IC1 OGHdLO1S III 1000
will not have an opportunity to do so again
until 1894. Senators elected in 1890 Will
represent for two years 9S7, 122 people who
had no voice in their election or 16S, 500
viii have two representatives from 1892 to
1894, and 231. rs people must go unrepre-
sented for that period. All this injustice
is carefully adopted to preserve power in
the Grand Old Party.
This statement of the situation would
be all right If the editor of the Times
had distributed the delight among the
Republicans and heaped his condemna-
ton upon the Democratic legislature
which was guilty of the outrageous ger
rymander. The Republicans of Wiscon-
sin are not political thieves, and during
their long control of the state were
guilty of no such outrage rs partisan
gerrymander But the Times is TO be
forgiven because Of the strength of It's
denunciation of gerrymandering The
Democrats of Wisconsin deserve all it
has indirectly launched at them.-Eue1a-
