operations for the Darlington soldiers
seems to be Timmonsville, small town
about thirty miles from here, as the
spies are supposed to be lurking
around there i'll the swamps. The posses
are guarding every railroad, and

The BlshOpvlle guards were sent
here about o'clock TODAY on special.
The sheriff was notified to meet them at
the depot. which he did. The captain
told him he was instructed to report to
state constable here. The sheriff re-
piled that he thought it doubtful about
finding one here, except the wounded
man who is in Jail. This company re-
NAMED here about five minutes and de-
| parted. No one knows why they left.
The sheriff asked them to stay and pro-
