One night last week Supervisor OF
| Registration Worsham had a queer eN-
perience. He had retired for the night
and was aroused from 4 doZe by MS
wife, who told him that some one was
in the yard and had passed the wlndow
with light. He got up. threw open
the blinds with whoSe-there voice
that woke up a neighbor mile OH, out
he cot no response and after cautiously
looking out he saw nothing but the
glare of the moon and the shadow OF
his towseled head and night shirt fit
tinr about on the ground. His wife
was sure a light passed her window
and Mr.. Worsham knew better than to
dispute her. While gazing into the
beautiful moon-lit vacancy there ap-
peared in the distance beyond. a light
sure enough and Mr.. WorSham hailed,
at the same time fired two nervous
shots at the object. By this time he
was fully awake and discovered that
the object which caused so much anx-
iety was an innocent lightning bug.

The trouble in the Connor Mounted
Rifle camp. heretofore reported IN
these columns has not subsidized, nor is
it likely to. until some legal action has
been started. \ committee 1.-THE com
pany went to Columbia. accompanied by
Captain Wells, and from what trans
pired in the Adjutant Generals ofhce
the committee came back with the as
surance of the matter being settled.
General Floyd was under the impress
sion that Privateer was in Clarendon,
and therefore gave his permission to
Captain Wells to make that point his
muster ground. but when he learned it
was in Sumter he told the captain that
he must not take his men out OF the
county, and furthermore the money
received from the State belonged to the
company, and must be turned over to
its treasurer. Captain Wells still re-
fuses to turn the money over. and
committee came to Manning Monday
to consult with an attorney. They are
determined to push the matter to a
conclusion, and before the affair IS end
ed Captain Wells is likely to have an
unpleasant experience. The men feel
they have been badly treated by their
captain. and they will spend money to
recover the funds he is Withholding
from them. and then they will use
every honorable effort TO have him
courtmartlaled.

There is no set of men in this coun-
try as much entitled to honor and re-
spect as is the old Confederate veteran:
every man who has a spark OF patriot
ism stands ready and willing to give
MIN preference, and it is right that
he should, it is a patriotic duty to do
so, but while this is true, it does not
follow that all of the honor and respect
should be given to one, and especially
does it not follow that official positions
should go to any one source. we ylelo
to no man our love and regard for the
Confederate soldier: although we were
not born on South Cardinals soil, we
have coursing through our veins the
same blood that was spilled on the bat
tlefelds of Virginia for the cause OF the
Confederacy, and the major portion OF
our life has been surrounded with the
sentiments OF love for cause which
went down in honor. The Confederate
veteran has our preference for any
thing, all other things being equal. He
must be man qualified for the position
he seeks. and he must not be antago-
nistic to our views. There are some
men who went to the front when the
country called them, that never tire OF
impreSSing it on the minds OF the peo-
pie when they are seeking political
honors or emolumentS, and this sort OF
thing has gone on until the waving OF a
war record has become stock-in-trade
or political assets. The day is at hand
when sentiment is good. If everything
else is agreeable, but independence OF
thought and action is and should be the
controlling force in this day and time.
II man WITH 4 war recOfo putS uliIl-
self out of touch with the people, he is
no more entitled to their votes: this
has been demonstrated time and again.
General Hampton got out of political
touch and the people retired him from
politics, but bis memory shall live al
WAYS. We could name others who
made glorious records in the war,
whose people did much for them and
continued to call for them, until they
themselves got out of touch and were
retired. This sentiment does not mean
a loss of reverence Or confidence, but 1t
does mean that the people are in con-
troll.
