TARLEToN's SwORD.-How interest
ing it is to look upon mementos of the
past and to coDjure up incidents iu
which these relics played a part
Sometimes, however, these relics are
decidedly more pleasant at his late
day than they were at the time of their
occurrence.
Mr.. A. G. Dixon, superintendent O.
the state Gispensary, has a sword
which once belonged to the "bloody
Tarleton," the intrepid British com.
mander who was so persistent and
cruel in his efforts to crush out the
spark of patriotism in South Caroline
during the Revolution.
But the horrid instrument of war is
more valuable as a relic, for it is the
sword which was cut from Tarleton's s
hand at Cowpens by Colonel William
Washington. The weapon is of rather
crude make, having been fashioned by
blacksmith; but its temper is of gooo
quality, and it was evidently more use
full for battle than for dress parade.
On the end of the hilt is little iror
knob, projecting beyond the hanc
piece. This knob bears the scar made
by the awful descent of Washington's
sword. The same stroke severed the
ends of Tarleton's 6ugers.
When the British leader dropped his
sword and "put spurs to his horse,
seeking safety, as history records 1t
the weapon was picked up by William
Scott, an American trooper, who tlec
it to his saddle, and at the close of the
war carried it home. William Scot
was Mr.. Dickson's grandfather. The
sword has descended to the younges
child of each succeeding generation

Death of Colonel Sims.
Colonel Robert NJ. Sims, Of Colum-
bia, died at his home in that city on
last Friday. Colonel Suns, says The
News and Courier, was one of the best
known men in the state. He was born
six miles from Lancaster courthouse,
about 63 years ago. He was educated
at the Citadel academy, where he was
in the class of 1856, of which Governor
Hugh S. Thompson was member.
Prior to the war Colonel Sims was a
man of very considerable means.
When the war broke out he went into
the service with the Lancaster com
pany, of which he was made an officer.
He remained in the Ninth regiment
for sometime, and when the Ninth was
disorganized he went into the Fifth
regiment, where he was taken into the
family of General Jenkins. When
General jenkins was killed he was

carriage, he found himself confronted
with an impenetrable crowd cheering ges-

avenger of Gordon" and kindred cries.
His face beamed with pleasure at the
popular greeting.

When he attempted 10 make his way

forclbly from the attentions OF the en-
