The production of 1.-THE Birth of a
Nation, recalls to mind some men,
cries of '76 that may be Of interest
to the young men Of today. These
were the days Of the heroes Of '76--
Wade Hampton, the chief, with such
able lieutenants as the fiery and bril-
liant Mary Gary and Butler, who
conceived the movement to over
throw the "carpet-bag" government.
There were other men prominent at
that time identified with the move
ment in the up-country; such as the
fearless Col D. Wyatt Aiken of
rCokesbury;; the father Of Hon. Wyatt
Aiken, thei popular congressman
from the Third District, often he was
seen alone among the; 500 Radicals,
laying down the gospel to them
the gospel of Democracy. There was
Gen. MCGOWAN, the incorruptible
supreme Judge, in after years who
along with Judge Hudson and Nc
liver, declared the dispensary law to
be unconstitutional. Col. j. S. Goth
ran, of Abbeville, the father Of T.
P. and w. S. Cothran, was a brilli-
ant supporter. Also Col. Orr, Gov.
Ansel and Gov. MauldinL of Green
vile, who did valiant service for the
cause Of good government.
remember those exciting and
thrilling days of '76 when Twas a
boy of Is years of age, wearing a
red shirt, and riding a mule to the
meetings. The red shirt was an en-
blem of unterrified democracy; the
sight of which carried terror to the
hearts of the Radicals.
The "Big- Tuesday" in Abbeville
was a memorable day as well as an
exciting time. The Radicals were
marching down town with their flags
flying and drums beating, when
about 500 Red Shirts rode into them
and shot down the flags and perfor-
ated the drum. The procession
broke and fled pell-mell in every di-
rection. This created a panic among
them. No one was killed. This was
carrying out the plan Of "frightful-
ness inaugurated at that time.

day." which was known as the 'Dem-

Red Shirts were there; some big men

ter many efforts to get near the
stand, to see an empty space of a
few feet, Just in front of Gen. Bob
Toombs, who was speaking, as one
would drop into this space, he would
as quickly vacate, because no one
could stand near Toombs- he would
spit all over him. I remember a
Red Shirt Democrats farmer sit

Nashville, Tenn, June 24.-Dr.
Andres Osuna, director-general of

night sent telegram to Noah W.

one sent to DR.. Osuna by Mr.. Cooper
urging that he make every effort to.
ward peace. DR.. Osuna spent several
years here as a student and instruc-
tor at Vanderbilt university. His
telegram follows:
Invasion of Mexico by American
troops ungrounded. Columbus MUIR
ders were caused by Mexico's enc
mics and greedy capitalists. Ameri-
can troops crossed to Mexico by pro-
position made by Carranza before
treaty was arranged. While discus
sing treaty Gen. Carranza required
that no artillery nor infanty should
be sent to pursue bandits, and that
cavalry sent should be kept within
certain limits. Such propositions
were not accepted at Washington.
American government sent artillery
and infantry to pursue Villa and
Mexican government ordered to re-
pei such invasion, the treaty not be-
ing agreed upon.
tCarranza stands for Mexico's au-
tonomy and dignity, supported by all
Mexican people. He is willing to ac-
cept mediation. You must work for
withdrawal of American army from
Mexico. Good people ought to work
for peace. We will be glad to CO.

MEMORIES OF rs

most eloquent men the South has
ever produced. There was also Gen.
Gary, Butler, Aiken,g MCGOWAN,
Cothran, Gen. Hemphill, Judge
Sharpton and the heroic Wade
Hampton, the standard bearer and
wise counselor.
When the Democrats had won
their fight as they believed, ten
thousand or more Red Shirts went to
Columbia and camped near the capi-
tol building. They called fo- Hamp-
ton, he came forward and said: -
"Men of South Carolina, / have
been elected governor Of South Car.
olina, and by the eternal Gods, l will
be governorw He went to Washing
ton and demanded recognition as the
legally elected governor. Hayes i'm
mediately recognized him as COVER
nor of South Carolina. ;. . ~
Each man had gone to Columbia
to enforce this belief with Win
chester rifle and a blanket to fight
if necessary, for the seating of
Hampton. We had two governors,
Hampton and Chamberlain; two leg
islatures for sometime, both con-
tending for recognition. There were
ten thousand United States troops
near the capitol grounds, but they
made mo move to overawe the Demo-
crats-the unterrifed Red Shirts.
Col! Tom Woodward Of Fairfield
county, led the forces to the doors
of the Chamberlain legislature, bat
tered the doors down and took pos
session.
/ R. B. Hayes had been seated as
president, though Samuel j. Tilden
was elected fairly. The famous eight
to seven returning board, as it was
called, cheated him out of it, declar-
ing Hayes the president. This board
was composed of seven Republicans,
seven Democrats and one indepen-
dent. Judge David Davis of Illinois.
Many were the nights when we
broke up Radical meetings, In 1880
was the last stand in the up-country
the Radicals made. This was at
Greenwood, then Abbeville county.
They had orders from their leaders
to concentrate at Greenwood and
vote. Two thousand or more met
there and took possession Of the poll
ing place.
The few disheartened Democrats
there had given up the fight, when
28 of US Red Shirts from Hodges
and Cokesbury responded to the call
for help. We stretched out our line
of horsemen twenty-five yards apart,
dashed into them, firing in the air.
The negroes fed and well re-
member the place was back of the
burst store. There was four or i've

place. They fled pell-mell, leveling
the fence to the ground. Nobody was
killed; that was not our purpose, if
we could accomplish our ends other

Chairman j. Goodell called the

Straight party ticket.
This matter was soon settled. If
there was any sentiment in favor of a

tested al the meeting. The expression
VAS unanimous that the democrats
should nominate candidates for every
office to be filled this spring, and a
notion to that effect was carried with

Those present at the meeting seemed
to think that no time should be lost
in getting the campaign under way and
srganizing for the work that lies
ahead, but there was a difference of
opinion as to whether the democrats
should wait until after the re-
publican convention before holding
their convention, or should go ahead
