"REMINISCENCES
OF GETTYSBURG.
EAPcTIcHcos- inc cKtr-
mishes Told By One Who Was
Wounded on the Line.

Our old friend, Mr.. G. G.. Greer,
dropped in to see US a few days ago,
and having seen accounts at various
times in the TIMES of relics of the
late war which ara in possession Of
the old veterans, he said he thought
he would bring in one and show us
that he had brought from the battle.
Fl I'D at Gettysburg. Oar curiosity
was al once excited, and we were all
attention as he unfolded a package
and opened box that it contained.
In this box was bone % inches in
length. one end of which was a socket,
and with it minnie ball with a
mashed point. He explained that
this piece of bore once come cted the
bone in his right arm to his shoulder,
but that it had beon shattered near
Gettysburg and had to be taken out.
The ball was the one that had done
the work. This is about all he cared
to siy, but we had no idea of letting
him oft with this much and we urged
him to tell us something more about
the fight, and how it came about,
knowing that there is deal of uu-
written history connected with the
late war, which is allowing many
brave deeds of our heroes to gradually
sink into oblivion, we are anxious to
record somo of them that may be use.
ful to the future historian. Mr.. Greer
reluctantly r.counted the circum.
stances leading up to his wound, say
ing that ne was not seeking such no,
t)riety. But we put him on the wit
ness stand and finally got the follow
ing interesting story:
1t was after the terrible battle of
Fredericksburg, in which MCGOWAN

elevated to the command of Meow.

to retreat
Orders were Issued that a batta ion

enemy. This being very dangerous
position, two to three men were select.
ed from each company. Two mon
were selected from Mr.. Greer's com.
pany, which was Co. A, and the bat.
talon was drawn up for instruction.
The duty of these sharp shooters was
to act as flank and vanguard to the
army until the enamy made stand,
then they were to be thrown into a
skirmish line. locate the enemy and
bring ON the fight. This being po-
sition of terrible exposure, tho al.

Did you know that it was the vote OF
a representative Of one of our new pos-
sessions that carried the 16 to l plank
through the platform at the Kansas City
Convention? The vote was "a against
the plank and 25 for it. Prince David
Kawanako, the delegate from the IIa-
waiian Island, who had not expressed
an opinion, liStenel to the discussion,
pro and c)n, tlren c,st his vote for 1G to
l. His vote on the other side would
have made a tie and it would have lost
the plank, and maybe we would not lave
had Bryan as our standard bearer.

We believe there is good chance Of

We believe there is a good chance Of
paying investment here by the es-
tablishment Of a canning factory.
There are some lands around Union
that could be developed into good
truck farms, and there is no reason
why we could not sell canned goods
to surrounding towns. There arc hun
dreds of thousands of canned goods
ordered from the northern markets
every year by towns that we could
readily sell to, at prices that would
make it to their advantage to patron
ize the home enterprise. We would
like to hear from Laurens regarding
her canning factory. She has been
running one long enough to see il it
is paying Investment, and we under
stand that its product stands high in
the markets Of the North.
While the bnilding'o Of mammoth
cotton mills throughout the county is
is going ahead at a 2-40 gate, let us
not forget that there is good money
in minor industries, and very often
they pay better than the large estab-
lishments, considering the capital in
vested.

Greater temptation was never brought
to bear upon any one, to swerve from
fixed principle than faced the nob.e
leader of the Democratic party, w. j.
Bryan. But like true noblemau, he
stood firm to the end, never deviating an
inch from the position which he has oc-
cupied from the beginning. While we
thought that the adoption of the Chicago
platform as whole, without making
the silver question obtIus vely promi-
nent by inserting the specific 1G to l
plank, would have been sufficient, and
would have covered the case, he thought
differently, and after reading his state
meDt, which we append, we think he
was right. lie is level headed, noble
man, and one who is willing to go down
to defeat rather than recede one jot or
title from his principle, or sanction any
evasion, even though it might DE the
means Of avoiding disastrous results.
Bryan has stood every crucical test and
has come ont as pure and undetiled as
virgin gold. Such man is the man to
pin your everlasting faith to. lie has
been faithful ever, honest, upright and
uniiDching. His ability to rule and
govern the nation has been demonstra-
ted in a manner without precedent.
When Bryan was notified of his nomi-
nation he said:
"I am very gratilied to learn of the
adoption of platform which is clear
and explicit on every question. The
controversy over the silver plank was not
a controversy between men who differed
in principle, but rather difference of
opinion as to the best method of stating
the question. If we only had Demo-
Gratis to deal with, simple reafflrma-
tion would have been sufficient, but we
have to deal with Republicans rs well as
Democrats, and some of the Republicans
would miscOnstrue a eat1irmation and
endeavOr to twist it into an evasion or
abandonment of the silver question"

1t is Bryan and Stevenson.

1t is Bryan and Stevenson. Adlai E:
day, at Kansas City, by heavy vote on
the first round, as the running mate Of
w. J. Bryan. Hill declined in manly
speech There is a great difference be-
tween Hill and Roosevelt, Hills idea of
declining is to decline.
We Clip the following short hiographi-
cal sketch from the Greenville News:
Bryan is native of Illinois, a grad
uate of the Illinois college and of the
Chicago Law school. lie has lived in
Lincoln, Nebraska, since 1887, and has
been successful in his profession. He
was elected to the 52nd congress as II
Democrat by majority of G,7l3 in a
diistric that in the previous election had
sent republican, by "a majority Of 8, 400.
His campaign for the presidency four
years ago proved him to be a most re-
markable man mentally and physically
He is known as straightforward, honest
man, even his political opponents being
the judges
Adlai +. Stevenson is native Of Ken-
lucky, but has lived for the greater part
of his life at Bloomington, Illinois. lie
is sixty-fve years old. is a lawyer, and
has always been Democrat of the strict
est sect. He was President during
Cleveland's second administration, from
1893 TO 1897.
Whatever may be said of the political
opinions of either, they both have the
confidence of the country for personal
and POLITICAL integrity.

The powers are rushing troops to
China. The allies at Taku and mt Tien
Tain now number Is, 600 men. Tie Ic-
Inducements under orders consist of 49,
600 Japanese troops, $1,000 Germans,
$4,000 Russians, II, 900 Americans, TO-
900 British, 5000 French and 5000
Italians.
Reports from Pekin say that Prince
Ching is heading a counter revolution
in China, and is protecting the foreign
ers against the usurper, Prince Tuar.
This puts a little more hopeful aspect
upon the situation. If the powers can
find allies in China the task of sutduiDg
the Bo xers will be made much easier.
1t has been agreed to allow Japan to
take the initiative in attempting to quell
the disturbance in China, the powers TO

General Ho Vow, at San Francisco, says
the powers will need 100000 men in

millions of lives would be sacrificed be-
fore it could be accomplished.

That was record-breaking day at
Kansas City, the day of the nomination
of our standard bearer William Jennings
Bryan. Taken as whole it was dem
Onstration the like of which has never
before been known in any other conven-
ton. What a contrast to tn. Hanna
b)ssed convention of the Republic IN
party of only few days before.
Money can buy votes but it cannot buy
feeling, such as was evidenced by the
applauding thousands at the convention
at Kansas City.

Webster Davis sprung a sensation in
Kansas City at the convention when he,
in a strong speech stated that he was for
w. j. Bryan. 1t will be remembered
that Mr.. Davis, after returning fIom
Scn.h Africa, sent there by Mckinley,
resigned his position in McKnley's Cab
met to take the lecture platform in the
cause Of the Beers. His speech was the
Outpouring Of the sentiments of noble
soul. In speaking of the Mckinley
Policy he says:
~ love liberty, 1 love equality of
rights and love justice, and when the
party that I belong to is too cOwardly to
take stand for liberty, to represent this
government against British aristocracy
and monarchy, leave it, and leave it
for good"
In speaking Of the action of the con-
vention in extending sympathy to the
Beers he said:
81 am glad that you have taken this
action today. At the polls in Novem-
Der follow it up. Let American princi-
pies ever live. Let them ever 90 on
down for years to come as an aspiration
to generations yet unborn. Liberty,
love of country. one flag, one country,
one splendid destiny alone. | stand
upon this platform to support William

which brought forth storms of applause
and endorsement.

is Little Concerned About Mayor Jo.es
 of Toledo

Chicago, September H.-"I don't care whether Mayor Jones takes the stump or not. When he comes out for Bryan 1t means simply that Mckinley has lost just one vote, and not more,' said Senator Hanna when questioned as to the declina- ton of Mayor Jones of Toledo that he would probably not run for Congress, but would make speeches for Bryan and Stew enson.
 MT. Jones'" the Senator continued, "says, I notice, that he will not announce himself for Congress because he says the people don't want him. It would be bad year for him if he were to run, for the Re publican party in Ohio is amply able to carry the State and Jones' own district, with him in the race or out of it. I see MT Bryan is squarlng off to come at us with the race question. l understand he will attack us on dsfranchisement lines We'll that will have little effect Let him come down to Ohio and talk to the colored people there and see what they think of the Republicans there. This Is a day of news papers, and neither Bryan or anybody else can shut the eyes of the press. The pub lie is bound to get the truth"
