81. Peter Citizen Decorated.

| Nearly quarter Of q century a.
ter his participation in the last great
Indian campaign of history, al. "
Potts, president of the St. Peter
Commercial club, is to receive dec.
oration from the federal government
Heretofore he has been prevented
from securing the campaign badge
by q regulation of the war depart
ment that medals could not be issued
to soldiers discharged from the ser.
vice prior to April I, 1895; i Last
partment announced that badges
would be issued to regular and vol
unteer soldiers entitled to them, thus
opening to him the way to make ap-
plication.
Mr.. Potts will receive his decora-
ton for taking part in the Wounded
Knee campaign against the Sioux
Indians in the winter Of 189O-91. At
that time the st. Peter man was q
non-commissioned officer, sergeant,
in Company C, Third United States
infantry, and was stationed at Fort
Meade, S. d. Trouble with the Sioux
resulted from the spread Of the So
called Messiah craze, medicine men
of the several tribes preaching the
coming of the Great Spirit, who
would restore the power and glory
of their people.
Two of the more unruly bands
were those led by Chiefs Sitting Bull
and Big Foot. Troops were sent to
the Standing Rock agency to watch |
the former, and early in the sum-
mer of 1890 two troops of the Eiohth
cavalry and single company Of the :
Third infantry were ordered TO the
Cheyenne river to keep Big Foot un-
Ter surveillance.
They established a permanent camp
about a mile from Big Foot's vii
age, but there was no actual clash
until early in December, when In
liam police shot and killed Sitting
Bull after his shooting a large part Of
lis band Joined Big Foot on the Chey-
nne.
Upon request for re-inforcements
tx troops of the 8th cavalry and two
of the 3rd infantry were
dispatched to the assistance of Capt.
lennessey in command of the troops
t the Indian village. It was the ex-
edition that Mr.. Potts accompanied
nd he took part in the Battle at
Wounded Knee, which was fought
'ecember 80, 1890.
For Mr.. Potts the most exciting
lcident of the campaign came three. !
ays after the battle, when he was {
with important dispatches I
,r General Miles. With an escort e
seven Indian scouts he rode ninety Z
lilies from the camp on the Cheyenne
} headquarters in Rapid City, much q
the way through territory patro1I- y
l by parties Of hostile Sioux. On Q
le morning Of the first day he and I
is scouts encountered small band
marauding Indians, and in the t,
inning fight that followed Mr.. y
otis was wounded in the right foot. v
inally, however, they shook off >
leir pursuers, and completed the y
de to army headquarters without
rther molestation

Earthquake Shock
Felt Here Wed.

An earthquake of sufficient
violence to cause a number of
chimneys to topple over was
felt throughout the Piedmont
section of South Carolina at 1.30
o'clock last Wednesday after
noon. The trembling Of the earth
continued for five or six seconds
and caused people to run out of
tkeir HOUSES in alarm. In open
country a low rumbling noise
was heard. The shock does not
seem to have been distinctly felt
except in the Piedmont region
of the Carolinas.
In Union county the shock
caused large cracks to form in
the old. county Jail while plast-
ering fell in many residences.
Many chimneys fell down.
MANY people in Pickens felt
the shock very distinctly.

Campaign On Evangelism And
Stewardship

The Southern Presbyterian
Church has started a great
Campaign on Evangelism and
Stewardship throughout the
whole Assembly. The object
is evident from the name; first
to gather many into the church..
and second, to enlist all that
are now in the church to an
adequate support of the bene-
icent work of the church. To
discuss and plan methods for
attaining these objects, Pres
byterial Conferences are being
held all over the South from
Virginia to Texas, and t'rorida
to Oklahoma. Sixty-three Of
these will be held in January
and early February. For Pied

Our Tenant Glass

| haYe been wondering what
would be next and the remedy
to meet existing conditions. |
remember some fifteen or twen-
ty years back that the word
went out that some doctors had
met and formed a trust or COM
bine. They passed a resolution
that when q man failed to pay
for services rendered by one
doctor that such a person was
put on the blacklist. No other
was to render services until the
debt was paid.
AS to what effect this had
with the people or to what ex-
tent it was carried out, I cannot
say; but from later actions it
would indicate it did not bring
the relief sought for.
Only a few years back the re-
port went forth that another
meeting had been held and that
an agreement was that for ser
vices rendered prices would be
double what it formerly had
been, and it would appear that
this has not brought the relief
required, and the last report
comes forth asking that the
landlord give the tenant an Or
der-a pass. the tenants call it.
To some tenants it is humiliat
ING, seeming more like slavery
time-a pass.
But the question to solve is
why the doctors wish the land
owners responsible for toe ten
ants debt. Does the law that
gives the landlord a lien for
supplies give him the right to
enter doctor bills against the
tenant as a lien? If not. why
not all men bear their own risk!
e65st71e72es f0st eeef792 f1rt rtf Sasainst
the action of our doctors with
no uncertain sound; but it may
be that if he would stop and
think Of the way the world is
moving. he would not be so
hard. Then, at the same time.
if our doctors would give more
strict heed to the word of holy
writ they might be the means
of bringing relief in other ways
more pleasant
I want all to read the religious
reports and you will learn that
not half the money given in the
name of foreign missions is paid
out to have the gospel preached,
but is used to establish hospitals
and dispensaries and buildings
and schools, teaching ca.rnesettfR'sss PETER
work, biacRsfi7fsHffirg iacRirssf ana f5er.esc- ife c.
ing, and other expenses in diff
ferent ways. Now, while our
people are so liberal along these
lines q am not), why not bring
these things home and help our
doctors to relieve conditions with
our tenant class, who are reap
ing down our fields.
Let me appeal to all you who
give to establish hospitals and
dispensaries and Such like in
foreign lands to give it to re-
lieve conditions at home.
We need not be so liberal as
to send such great sums of mon
ey to other countries and for a
name establish all these free
dispensaries for the dagoes of
the world to the neglect of
home, At your next meeting
take a collection to help the doc
tors to relieve conditions at
home, and don't 90 before the
people in the house of God with
a spirit of deception, call every
thing mission to get money and
send it off to be used as mention
ed to the neglect at home.
Mark you this, such barriers
will sooner or later have to be
broken up if we save the cause
most dear to us. 10 10.

Rev. R. H. Lupo filled his
first appointment at Porter's
Chapel last Sunday. We hope
everybody will be highly pleased
with him for their pastor.
We noticed in the paper that
all the doctors in Pickens have
signed a pledge not to 90 into
any tenants home unless the
landlord signs a certificate to
assure him of his money. That
is not right. The doctor just as
we'll take chances for his pay as
the lawyer, merchant, farmer
or any other profession. You
say the landlord will have to
SIGN a certificate for the tenant.
What are you going to do with
the cotton mill people; are you
going to have the president of
the mill to sign for them? And
what are you going to do with
the people that live in rented
houses; are you going to haye
the owner to sign for him or let
him die? It seems that the doc
tors want the landlord to stand
good for other peoples debts.
The heath of this section is
very good at present. Should
anyone get S ok and no one will
vouch for him we can give him
some boneset tea and sassafras
tea, and if that won't bring him
out we can fall back on Mr..
doctor.
Wonder how the mail carriers
are liking the parcel post system?
Don't guess thew will like it
very much when the people get
to sending coops of chickens or
a barrel of syrup or something
else Of this kind.
