Next in importance TO Sumter,
and only few hundred yards away
is Moultrie. This port was held BY
Col. William T. Butler of Edgetield,
one of the bravest Of the brave,
with live companies of the first Caro-
lima infantry. | must mention with
especial emphasis the battle Of Bat
terry Wagner on Morris Island.
Brauregard was gifted with won.
derful engineering ability, and the
shell shown in the construction Of
this fort was of the highest order.
One of the forts now used at West
Point is an exact imitation of this
one. The ground on which these

Students of the Confederate war
should also remember the fight at
Sercssionvill' :, on James ISLAND, in
which the union forces under Gen.
Hunter were defeated by the Con-
federates under Gen. Johnson Ha-
good. They were repelled twice in
all effort TO destroy the railroad be-
tween Charleston and Savannah,
and two weeks after this defeat the
union forces abandoned James Is-
land. Major Joseph Abney another
one of Edge6eld's brave men, with
his intrepid body OF sharpshuotcrs
held 1 position on the other side,
and the most poorly defended coast
Of James Island, but this however
vas not engaged in the battle Of Sc.
ceSsiunville.
We tind another Edgefeld conn
ty lllan At the front rs commander
Of Battery Bee. on Snllivan's Is

seeded aud ii was known that war
was inevitable, he was among .he
first to offer his services to Gov.
Pickens. He did splendid service in
the repulse of the Iron Clads in the
naval Attack on Charleston. On tn,
night Of the 10th Of July, he with
thr.c companies of the regiment.
and Capt. Adams, Haskell and Ia
tum. was ordered to Battery Wag-
ner on Morris Island. Here he act
ed az chief of artillery, aud he and
his devoted little band without res,
or sleep stood under terrific bonn
bardmenL until the night of thu

enemy he fell, pierced through the

Gen. r. e. NJ. Dunovant, who was

department we find Mr.. John +
Bacon, and our beloved Col. James

These were all brave and gallant
men and their lives have not been

they would have held positions OF

Newsy Letter From

Branch.
Dear Editor:- We are rejoicing
over the fact that the weather man
made mistake when he predicted
4 cold wave for US. We had a wave
but not cold one, only little
damp and disagreeable. Instead of
tine cold wave we have had good
weather on our oat crop, for the
outlook is good and the best of it is
we have a larger crop. Yes there
has been more oats sown this last
year than for years past, and if the
spring is favorable there will be
considerably more sown.
Our merchants are busy closing
up last years accounts and making
preparations for a good business for
this year and with will to make
a success, regardless of the money
iii e Ths farmers generally.
are hopeful. and apparently happy
over the prospects of good crop
year. According to some of the old
peoples saying and prognostica-
tions of the old twelve days we will
have seasonable year. Well let US
hope. Were it not for hope we would
be the most miserable creatures on
earth.
The high school with all the
teachers in their places have return
ed after the holidays and resumed
their work, and the children are
glad and happy and seem to enjoy
their part Of the program, i. e. the
recess part of it from the noise they
make at noon and evening.
Some sickness in and around
town. None serious however.
Mr.. B. D. Ki,chings has been
quite sick but is up and around the
house.
Mrs. E. Colman has been sick
with grippe and cold but she is up
and able to walk about the house.
Brother Freeman the Baptist
minister left US last Saturday for
his new home and work at Black
stock in Chester county where he
has two churches and good and
pleasant field to work IN. We were
sorry to see him leave US but we
are glad that he has a good place
aud we hope for him and his fami-
ly prosperous and a happy year.
Brother Freeman and his family
have endeared themselves to the
large majority of our people here,
not only among his own flock but
the Methodist, and the young peo-
pie are a unit in bis praise.
Well, Bro. Minis, look up our
new supervisor, Mr.. Edmunds, and
tell him our roads are more holy
than righteous" and we will take
pleasure in showing him around. ]
guess our law makers will get down
to work now soon. There is one
thing they might do that will save
the state lot Of money by doing
away with the criminal part of our
jury. Let US have a jury to try all
civil cases but / don't see the need
of criminal jury when one man
can undo all that IL men and judge
do, and sometimes it takes several
days for the IL men the Judge and
lawyers to convict, and one man can
undo in amoment what they have
done. Something is out of Joint if
this state of things can't be RENE
died. We have some good lawyers
in our legislative halls and if there
is any way to take the pardoning
power out of the governors hands
it should be done at least for the
next two years. Brother Minis, we
or our grand old state are in bad
shape when our executive will con-
done crime. We have laws,
let us abide by them and every vfh-
