Marines Stop Fight.
Chief MeDuffie called up the marine
barracks, told them of the assault on
the police officers and asked that some
of their own officers attempt to quiet
the men. Major Neville was not in at
the time but was met by Chief Nc
Dufiie when the latter himself went
down to the marine barracks upon re-
peated reports that the men were hold
ing up pedestrians on King street.
Major Neville ordered out three pa

rounded up the unruly ones and brought

camp will be stopped for the next four
or five days, says Major Neville and

the bitter hostility which the men hold
towards the town gangs.
Hold Up Pedestrians,
After the fight between the hoodlums
and the marines and the scrap with the
police, the marines marched up King
street in body stopping every one
they met and questioning him. The
first of these, they asserted, looked too
much like gentlemen, being neatly
dressed, and so opened ranks and let
them pass. Needless to say they met
none of the men they were after.
Oficer Chiffon adds some testimony
to the story of the marines which is
also in their favor. He states that when
he was standing in Palace Square he
saw small group of marines 60 by
and saw them suddenly pelted with
stones by a gang of hoodlums who rush
ed out of the dark corners in front of
the judiciary building. The marines,
outnumered, were driven back, but
some of their friends rushed to their
assistance and they quickly turned the
tables on their assailants.
"'They got even, all right,' said
Chief McDuflie, "but they got even
with my men instead of the men they
were after.''

PARKsVILLE NEWS.

The union meeting of the 3rd di-
vision OF the Edgefeld association
met with the Modoc church yester-
day, and day before, agreeable to
appointment, and we had great
meeting. On Saturday the. queries
were discussed, the one elicfting the
most interest being: What should
be our attitude as, Christians to-
ward lawnessness?'' The other quer-
les were of interest, and were dis
cussed by brethren: J G Haryely, o
% Zimmerman, L G Bell, FL E
Bunch, w r Legat, and many 9th
ers. Sunday morning the Sunday
school exercises were in the hands
of the superintendent, brother Harye-
ley, which proved to be very In
structive exercise, the bible. class
being taught by Mrs. Nabstadt, a
very consecrated and efficient wo-
man.
At 1880 o'clock, the missionary
sermon which was to have been
preached by Bro. L. B. White, was,
by motion of brother White, preach
sed by the Rev. Mr.. Stoudemire of
the Barnwell association, who was
visiting our union in the interest of
one of his churches. Mr.. Stoude-
mire preached very lucid and ten
der sermon from the words:~ She
hath done what she could" The
collection, in all, amounted to
Sls.66. The point was made, that
since the organization of this union
a little over year ago $4,000 had

A. Personal Statement From the
Editor.

As inquiries are being received
from different parts of the county,
concerning my physical condition,
;Sl l feel that / owe it to my friends to
give out a statement as to the ma
tpre and extent of my recent indis-
position.
On Thursday afternoon, January
18th, 1 was seized with an acute at
tacksof vertigo, which lasted uaa-
bated for more than week. After
studying my case very closely early
! IN my illness my physicisa. accurate |
y diagnosed the trcahle, as. being |
caused BY my eyes and advised pS
consulting a specialist, as quickly
practicable I was. carried; y IS
Columbia Hospital en-. Friss the
ary the sQth, The speeia}' y Janu-
examination sustained st after an
in his diagnosis my physician clan
my left ssewb' .ad advised. that
sees q; nngsbs -ch had been sightless
sfely.serr M r Of years, be immedi-
~
sSm- ss Loved, SO as to check the
y pathetic inflammation in my
q light eye, which had already made
alarming progress. The specialist
expressed himself in such pessimis-
tic terms after making the examina,
tion that Twas led to believe for a
time that I would spend my remain
ing years in darkness.
The operation Of removing the
left eye was performed the day after
Ireached the hospital, and very soon
3 thereafter, my right eye the sight
of which was greatly impaired, gave
evidence of decided improvement
Only one who has experienced this
transition from impending darkness
to renewed light can form any idea
Of the unspeakable JOY that came tc
me as j caught this new vision Of
life.
Soon after the operation, the spe
eialist examined my right eye and
after seeing It's improved condition
assured me that it will ultimately
be restored to its normal condition.
rer4i-11t dr-c,ern
able from day to day, bears out
his encouraging statement. After
spending a week at the hospital,
returned home, where prudence has
since forced me to pass the time
in absolute idleness. Although siren.
uous and at times very grinding is
the life of the country editor, yet
- as I dictate these lines for publica,
ton, I yearn for the return of the
day and hour when unhampered ]
can resume my regular work on The
Advertiser.
/ can not conclude this statement
without expressing my profound
and sincere gratitude to my friends
of thestown and county for theil
kindly interest and sympathy which
has been so generously bestowed
during the past weeks. I have. beer
deeply touched by their earnest so
icitude. May the Great Physician
b who has brought me safely through
this trying ordeal likewise guide
and guard them through the vicissi
81 tudes of life. While my sight il
Z being gradually restored, it will yet
e be severa. weeks before can entel
upon my regulaE duties.
