PRIVATEER PERSONALS.
PalyATEER TOWNSHIP, S. c., April l3, 'se.

PRlyATEER TOWNSHIP, .. w., AprN lo, 80.
Last week your correspondent paid visit
to one of Prirateer's old ladies, Mrs. Eliza
beth Hodge, Who lives in the northern part OF
the township. She is the widow of Mr..
Oliver Hodge, and is DOW about 81 years old.
She was born about half mile from where
she now lives and has lived in that immediate
section all her life. Mrs. Hodges age makes
her one of the interesting people of Priva,eer.
Her maiden name was Broadway and her pa
rents both lived TO be old. She has been the
mother of one son and eight daughters, and
all are living, except ore daughter The
memory of this old ady's kindly face re-
mains with US like some pleasant oeuedic-
ton.
The nephews and pieces of the late Mr..
Josiah Eaynsworth have had large and
very neat tombstone recently placed At his
grave, in the Haynsworth ourying ground at
Bethel Church. This tombstone is the work
Of Mr. e. E. Richardson, of Sumter. Mir.
Hayusworth was ap old citizen of our COM
munity and died in 1892 at the good old age
of three score years and thirteen. His pa
rents are buried in this same enclosure; their
graves are both marked by tombstones. His
father, who was also uamed Josiah, died in
1914, aged IS years. None of the Hayns-
worth family live in Privateer township
now.
Mr. jim Aviu one of Privateer's Confeder-
ate veterans, has cure for the blind staggers
which he would like to have published, 80 we
give it here. When it is found that horse
has this disease, give it near gill of turpen-
tine in milk or grease, if the horse is large
q gill is not too much. From every three to
Eve hours the dose must be repeated, and
each dose after the first must be third less
than the frat Every time the turpentine is
given the horse, the animal is TO be rubbed
with turpentine on the seam of the head from
the top TO the end of the nose, also around
the roots of the ears, on the large neck veins
and the breast If the horse seems specially
bed of, it must be b!ed in the neck, and from
quart to q half gallon of blood must be
taken from it.
Mr.. AVN claims that from three 10 four
doses will cure horse. He found out this
remedy in time of the war by experimenting,
and informs me that he has cured several
norses with it.
1t is probably not often that three brothers
OF township marry three sisters of the
same township, but an instance of that kind
occurred in the township-three Bradford
brothers married three Nettles sisters, and
Two of these marriages occurred at the same
.ime. One of these brothers, Mr.. Sam Brad
ford, died last year; another brother, Mr..
John Bradford, lives in the township now
and the other brother, Mr.. Fieler Bradford,
lives near Wedge6eld.
Privater township has one native who may
Justly claim to be traveller. That is Mr.
Charley Neal, who has not lived in the town
ship for nine or ten years. He has been in
California, Oregon, Washingtoa, and for
abou; the las, eight months, has lived in
Vancouver.
