lGStOn on tho Veteran excursion on
Tuesday. Among those that went ,We
notice the following: Messrs. G. T..
Hawkins, Summie Hawkins. George
Harmon, Prof j. I. Bcdenbaugh, Jas.
SUNNI ,rs, and Uncle Bill Long, the
veteran.
1t has been currently reported here
that several Of our young men had join
cd the militia by enrolling with the
Newberry company. One of them Of
iered his services to the Governor, and
we suppose that he will be assigned to
some company soon if he does not go
with the Newbcrry company.
Tho ST. Lukcs School (prof. A. T..
=. Bedcnbaugh) will have u picnic On
7th OF May, at which time they are
looking to have quite M enjoyable
time.
We clip the following from an cx-
change. What do you think Oft? "Too
many men in this country" says an cx-
change, "arc eager to save the honor
OF the nation who ought to be saving
their wives from breaking their back
scraping the bottom Of am empty flour
barrel"
Mr.. w. b. Wise has Joined the mill
tia and will 20 to the front with the
Newbcrry company. Back says he is
the first and only man that volunteered
from Prosperity. May he return to us
when tho war is over covered with lau-
| rels and rcnown.
Scoundrel, lie, liar, puppy, arc some
| OF the expressions We see in tho daily
papers used by the friends Of the cX-
| p-llcd cadets to designate those who
have upheld The board in their efforts
to maintain discipline in the Citadel.
| This Is no way TO make friends for the
| institution. Ono young man is thirst
| ing for tho blood Of an cX-cadct who
has been guilty in his opinion of some
! great'ollense when he said the Board
OF Visitors did right when they cxpcll-
cd the unruly cadets. In our humble
opinion they vii! pull the wholo struc-
turc down by their rattack on the friends
OF the Board. don't believe that the
public feels the need Of this institution
and they are but helping dig its grave
| II this kind Of tactics suits them it suits
me, for as | said last week do not see
the need of the Citadel and if they
want to compass its downfall they Car
do it and that right quick if they keel
on ut tho rate they are goiug now. Sec
II they don't.

this fear he would have to be put or
