The Old Soldiers.
To the Editor Of the Dispatch:

To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
Last week was the soldiers week
in Columbia and almost every one
had on the grey-but it was grey
hairs and beard.
Ten more years and many OF them
will be gone; twenty years and their
lights will be dark; thirty years and
they all will be gone. Something
must be done to keep the memory of
the Old Confederate soldiers who
fought so brayely in the grey for you
aud I. Here is my idea and it ought
to be done. Let the Legislature ap-
propriate enough money to get all
the soldiers together and have the
picture of each company taken. Put
the names of the living members
under their pictures. No matter
how few or how many. Then place
the names of every dead or absent
member on each side of the sur7iV-
ing members. In this way we will
have the pictures of tae living sol,
diers and the names of the dead and
absent ones. Then throw the con-
panies together and take the picture
of the regiments. By this the young
generation will be able to find out
what companies there relatives were
10. What would q picture and
names of a regiment of our fore
fathers who fought in the revolution
airy war be worth today! We, like
them, are sleeping our time away and
it will soon be too late to get their
pictures. I have only two boys five
wears old each. love them. They
are The hope of my life, but would
rather see them placed in the cold
clay than for them to forget the brave
soldiers who fought in the grey.
Yours truly, ?. j. Rucker.

All this talk about trying to Re
publicanize the De nocret C party that
is filing the columns of those news
papers which are swinging to the
antiquated coattails of the buried past
is but silly and repreheDsible effort
to frighten intelligent men to debase
their intelligence and degrade their
manhood. The day has come when
the voter in the exercise of bis citizen
ship is no longer iohuenced by the
fear of Negro dominion on the one
hand aud that of social ostrscism Oh
the other. Crying Republicanism will
no longer deter intelligent men from
supporting their convictions through
the primary or other machinery tf
their party. 1t is their duty as wei!
as prerogatiye to inform themselves
upon measures OF public interest
and according to their convictions
support or reject measure. Those
papers that are now vainly imagining
that they are forcing men to accept
theories and doctrines at variance
with their judgment had better give
sounder reason than the cry of RE
publicanism" or they will find that
their labors have been in vain.

It now seems that q clash of words
between Senators Tillman and Nc
Laurin is inevitable. The latest is
that a plan has been discovered to
bring the two Senators face to face
at Goffney City. A correspondent OF
the Greenville Daily Nows says that
s.it is we'll known that Senator Nc
Laurin was, few days ago, invited
to speak to the people OF Cherokee
county, at Gaffoey City on the 25th
of this month and it looks now as if
Senator B. r. Tillmun will also be
present, because the president of
the democratic club at Blacksburs
wrote him few days ago extending
an invitation to be present at the
Gafney meeting and reply TO Sena-
tor McLaurin.
Since then, a letter has been re-
ceiyed from Senator Tillmsn, at
Trenton, under date of May 7tb, in
which he acknowledges the invita-
ton in the letter to him under date
of May 1st, and while expressing bis
appreciation of the invitation and a
desire to address the people on that
occasion: asys he would much prefer
that the invitation come either from
the county executive committee or a
number of citizens, instead of from
one club, concluding with sugges-
tion as to how that can be accom-
plished.
The letter has been referred to the
chairman of the county executive
committee and a meeting Of that
body will be called soon and all invi-
tation extended to the Senator" :"

Smallpox in Brookland.

Columbia State, May ID.
1t is stated that there is quite ap
outbreak Of smallpox in Brookland,
Lexington county, across the Con-
garee from Columbia. As yet the
doctors disagree as to the nature of
the disease which has appeared, and
some seem to doubt that it is small
pox. The officers of the State board
of health will doubtless be called in
to determine the matter. Most Of
the mill operatives OF the Columbia
Duck mills live 10 Brookland and
doubtless prompt measures will be
taken.
