Editor The TINES:
In behalf of Company ID" OF the Battal-
ion, desire TO express our thanks 20 all
those ladies and gentlemen in and around
Manning who so nobly contributed towards
sending US the several boxes OF eGtab!eS a
few days since. There was an abundance,
not only for our SO odd half starved men,
but for our invited guests. the commits
stoned officers of the other three compa-
uies. The chief cook of the battalion
kindly loaned ne cups, plates, knives and
forks, and IN honor Of the occasion and IN
consideration of well-flled plate for HIM
self. put little extra sweetening IN the
coffee he gave US.
The BOYS were loud in their praises Of
Clarendon's culinary skill, and the men
from North Dakota, Missouri, Georgia,
Florida and North Carolina in the COM
pany are of the opinion that Clarendon
would be fine field in which to shake of
the agony of bachelo:hood when the war is
over.
Especially to Mrs. Breedin, Mrs. B. A.
johnson, Mrs. E. c. Alsbrook, Mrs. T. n
wilson, Mrs Applet, Mrs. L. E. Higgins,
Mrs. w. C. Davis, Mrs. j. ". Mcleod. Mrs.

Mrs. Anna NJ. Davis, Mrs. I. I. Bagnal, Miss
Alice Rarvin, Miss Lucy Barron. Miss Ria
Scott, the Misses Nelson and Messrs. W. E.
Jenkinson, W. NJ. Lewis and A. l. Barron
are We indebted.
The lst lieutenant and I'd sergeant will
express in person or by letter their appre-
citation of some ''lemon cake" sent them by
the last mentioned young ladies.
There is one remarkable fact to be men
toned and our friends can judge how well
they succeeded: There were very few in the
squad for supper that night. We shall, in
our privations OF the next few months, re-
member our kind friends at home.

ANOTHER LETTER FROM CAMP.
Camp Lee, Columbia, S. c., June 6, '9S
W. C. DAVIS, Captain,
Company ID"

Camp Lee, Columbia, S. c., June 6, 9S.
Editor The TINES:
The captain, am told, has thanked our
friends tor the many nice things sent Us
last week. so We will not take up any more
space, only to extend my individual thanks.
Since our last letter our company has
lost, by death, one of its members. Many
have heard. no doubt, OF our comrade Joe
McLeod's death. he died with pneumonia
on last Friday about O'Clock, after an i'll
ness of about eight days. All the attention
that could be given by the best physicians,
trained nurses and comrades was giver
him at the city hospital, where he was sent
just as soon as the first symptoms of pneu-
monia were discovered.
Joe was good boy; he was never seen
10 bad company, he never shirked his
duty; gentle. true and kind was he, and 3
braver man will never enlist We all loved
him and hated to give him up. but His will
must be done; his work was DER, bis time
had come, he has gone to receive his re-
ward "Well done thou good and faithful
servant" We extend to his family our
deepest sympathy.
His remains were carried to Manning on
the evening train the same DAY. The whole
battalion marched down to the depot to
pay their last respects to their comrade
He was buried at Jordan the next day with
military donors.
On last Thursday we were in Cuba, the
boys thought. Orders came that Major
Thompson would have to give up one of
his companies to complete the regiment. G.;
course we were anxious until we heard that
the Sumter Light Infantry, Company B. F"
had been assigned this honor. This leaves
us with only three companies. The other
mpany will soon be made up. as recruits
are coming in rapidly.
The First South Carolina Regiment left
this afternoon for Chickamauga. and We,
the battalicn, had the honor OF escorting
them to the depot 1t was certainly a grand
sight to see 800 men in line. The regi-
ment Of twelve companies is now going to
the front and tue battalion will leave in q
day or two While on the march to the de-
pot Major Thompson read two kilograms to
US, one saying that the battalion had been
assigned to General Butler command in
Virginia and would receive orders to move
at once.
Major Thon psou expects to get final or
9erS tomorrow aud may get out OF Colum-
bia the next day. The battalion is delight
ed with the idea Of gong to Washington, if
il is on the way to Porto Rico.
Those who have not been home 10 bid
their home folks and sweetnearts goodbye
may not be able to do so, as furloughs are
now a pleasant recollection. No one will
be allowed to 60 home, even if lis wedding
day is drawing neal; the boys will Low be
compelled to wait until the war IS over
Girls, don't cry, we will be back some Of
these days.

"iionid Do tie Same Thing Again."

4. C. Jones, of Newberry, IS chair
man of the executive committee Of
the so called Prohibition party which
is now trying to overthrow tie organ
lied democracy of the State. He has
developed talent for writing to the
newspapers, but his communications
are generally in self defence. 1t ap-
pears that Mr.. Jones was in Manning
when Gov. Tillman called apon the
Manning Gaurds to SO to Darlington
to help preserve the peace when the
great riot was going on. He did all
he could to keep the company from
obeying orders. 3lr. Jones says: 81
did advise the Manning military
company not to go to Darlington and
would do the same thing again under
similar circumstances.
We do not intend to revive the
memories of the Darlington insurrec-
ton for it was an unhappy incident
\ few words however will serve to
show how ,Mr. Jones acted in this
emergency. when the Manning COM
penv was ordered to the front mob
was pursuing the constables through
the country TO wreak vengeance upon
them. The Darlington military COM
pany stood firm and was maintaining
the law and preserving the peace.
They needed assistance and the Man
ming company was ordered to the
front. AIr. Jones then got in bis
work advising young men who belong
ed to the militia to throw down their
guns when ordered to uphold the
government Gen. Capers was giving
tie same bad advice in Columbia.
The Charleston companies, it is said,
had shipped their arms to the insur-
gents at Darlington and the New
berry soldiers had thrown down their
guns and goae home. The wbiskey
league was attempting to ship arms
and ammunition to the insurgents,
determined to destroy the State gov
ernment rather than see the sale OF
wbiskey regulated By the dispensary
law. The whole unfortunate out
break was inspired BY lawless men
whose purpose was to bring back tie
grogshop system to our State.
Mr.. Jones acknowledges that he
tried to keep the Manning boys from
going to Darlington. In this great
crisis his influence was therefore
against law and order against Till
man and the State government and
against Henry Thompson and the
Darlington militia His influence
was in favor of the Whiskey League,
in favor OF the mob that pursued The
constables and fired into a railroad
train filed with innocent and help
less women and children and in sup
port of men, who wearing the uniform
of South Carolina threw down their
arms and fled to their homes rather
than help to suppress an insurrectlon
precipitatcd by whiskey men for the
restoration of the unholy traffic.
NJ. Jones says he would do the
same thing again under similar cir
cumstances. He is executive chair
man Of the new party and must rep,
resent It's views. Ii SO, this party
"would do the same thing again" i
another whiskey insurrection shoulc
arise. In other words they would be
against the enforcement of law.-Ab
