A hasty glance assured Darrell that

SOUTH CARoLINIANs IN TEXAs.-Mr
s. H. Epps, Sr., Of this county. Is a
Confederate veteran and attended the
recent reunion at Dallas, Texas He
returned home last week, and has some
interesting stories to tell about the
mammoth crowd Of visitors present and
the consequent inconvenience suffered
by many Of them. Among other things
he said that he stoou in line for two or
three days while there in the hope Of
reaching the railroad validating office,
and finally abandoned the attempt, be-
ing apparently no nearer success when
he gave up than when he started. He
said that the railroads gave notice that
they would recognize tickets that had
not been validated, and this was why
he did not hold out to the end. Mr..
Epps relates a story something like
this: 1.-THE train stopped at a small
town near the line between Indian ter
ritory and Texas, and while standing
there, a man past middle age, rushed
up to one Of the cars and called out:
rs there anybody in this train from
old South Carolina? If there is I want
to see him." 1t so happened that the
man stopped near where Mr.. Zach
Bales, Of Fort Mill township, in this
county, and who was travelling with
me, was sitting, and Mr.. Bales told
the inquirer that he was from South
Carolina. Just about this time / came
up and Mr.. Bales told the stranger
that I was from South Carolina, and
then it was that the stranger told why
he was inquiring for South 'Carolinians.
He said: Men, am native OF the
old state, and, although I have been
out here for years, my heart goes
back to the land Of my BIRTH" and then
tears commenced to flow down his
cneeks, land I long to have a good
long talk with somebody who knows
it as 1t is I want you men to get right
Off this train and spend awhile with
me-just as long as you will. am the
owner Of the hotel here, and If you'll
only stop with me I will feed you on
the best this country affords and moth
ing shall cost you cent. Please stop
Just a little while with me-" Mr.. Epps
said the appeal was very touching and
the mans request hard to refuse; but,
owing to the fact that their time was
.lmited, ne and Mr.. Bales were forced
to decline. Mr.. Epps told of another
man who left Fort Mill when boy and
soon after the close of the war, who
found out where he and Mr.. Bales were
from, and followed them about from
place to place for several days.-York-

And she played the naughty scorner
Till he walked off in huff;
And no girl could look forlorner
Than did now his lassie glum,

From the mum, mum, mum.
But she saw her doughty hero
Doing doughty things that DAY,

1t may be in after years that the
friedns of Governor Longino will
point with pride to the prosperity of
the state during the four years of that
gentleman's administration. The
state has been very prosperous, it is
true, but Longy had no more to dc
with it than a rabbit. If there had
been no governor during the time the
state wuold have been just as prosper

bringing about the good times, but
his threats TO lynch the lyncheTs had
nothing to do with tn present good

AN UGLY LOOKING CASE.

There are too many murders being
committed in this state and hangings
are too far apart Man kills man
these days seemingly on the least prov
OcatiOn and sometimes without the
least warning. Men are hanged for
committing murder as has been the
case for hundreds of years, but it APP
pears that murders are more frequent
now than ever before and are becom-
ing more horrible in their execution.
A stop should be put to this, but just
how has not been yet solved. We
sometimes think there is too much
law, too many lawyers, too many tech
nircalities, too many lOophOles
through which the criminal can es-
cape And the murderous inclined are
of the latter opinion or there would
be fewer murders. Read this, for in
stance, taken from the Clarion
Ledger:
Mr.. George May has returned from
the Sunhower convict farm, where he
went to investigate the shooting of his
nephew, Mr.. w 7. Dent, which oc-
CURED at that place Friday evening,
and he brings back the detailss of the
affair as gathered from eye witnesses.
s. NJ. Noah, the prison sergeant
who fired the shots, has fled from the
county, and his present whereabouts
are unknown. Immediately after the
shooting he turned his books and ac-
counts over to J. A. M. Griffin, one
of the guards, and skipped out.
According to Mr.. May, both Dent
and Noah were in the little village Of
Parchman Friday afternoon. They
passed each other on the street and
spoke pleasantly. Noah started for
the convict farm shortly before dark,
and few minutes later Dent mounted
his mule and started for home. He
lives only short distance from the
convict farm,-
Mr.. Nay States that when about one
PnIIe from the camp Noah met squad
of convicts- being taken to the camp
by several guards. He covered one OF
the guards with his pistol and forced
him to hand over a shotgun he was
carrying. DismOunting from his an
imal, Noah hid behind a woodpile and
when Dent came along few minutes
later he discharged both barrels al
him without warning.
Dent fell from his mule with two
buckshot through his right side and
one in his shoulder As he fell he
shouted to Noah not to shoot any
more, as he had been killed.
Noah, according to the witnesse
questioned by Mr.. May, ran a shor
distance and halted another guard
compelling him to turn over his Win
chester rife. Dent had managed t.
get to his feet, and on seeing Noal
} approach with another gun he RAJ
through the woods Noah fired sew
eral shots at him with the rifle, non,
taking effect. A few minutes late
the wounded man was picked up b!
the guards and carried home.

this ended their troubles. Noah sue

And winking at the bear,
