THOMAS.*23B CHICK AM AIM JA PARK, C3 LYTLK, GA., July 23, 1898. Editors Intelligencer : I know I voice the sentiment of a majority of the men of thc 1st South Carolina when I say that I wish those who saw us march to the depot from old Camp Ellerbe on June tith, elad iu every possible variety of citizen's raiment, could have seen us as wc stepped ont at quick time yesterday morning for division inspection and review. For tho past few days, since it has been definitely decided to advance on Porto Rico, the various regiments encamped here have been eager to know what regiments would be lucky enough to be selected for Miles' army in Porto Rico. We had hopes of being so chosen but were cast down when it was reported that only thc first two divisions cf Brooks' Corps would go, but later it was rumored that there waa a possibility of only the best regiments ordered out and we thought we stood a show. Be it known unto you, good people at home, that our life here is not that of a summer picnic encampment by any means. We came for stern business, and came much later than a majority of the regiments here, many of whom were completely equipped at the time of our arrival, so you see that in order to stand any show at all when the test came we had to work. We have nearly five hours' drill a day, sentinel duty to perform, long marches to make, all of whioh keep one busy most of thc time. But the officers and men have worked faithfully and well that you people may not be made to feel ashamed of us, and how well they have succeeded I shall proceed to show. Day before yesterday orders were issued for every man to be ready to march at (> a. m., promptly. To be ready one must be in heavy marching order, that is his rubber blauket con¬ taining tent and poles must be rolled and slung over the left shoulder. Haversaok, canteen, tin cup, cartridge belt and scabbard and rifle complete one man's burden. At 4:30 yesterday the camp wan made lively by the men getting into shape for a test of endurance and knowledge of military science. At a little before six the bugle sounded assembly, and in five minutes the First Battalion was in line of march, followed successively by the Second and Third. As wo passed out of our grove the band struck up a beautiful march, and nothing more was heard but the steady "tramp" of twelve companies of blue clad boys from the old Palmetto State as they wheeled into column of fours and began its three-mile tramp to Snodgrass Hill for Division inspection and review. It had been whispered along the line that this drill was competitive and the best regiments would surely go to the front at once. So we were put on our mettle. Eight other regiments were aUo on the move, and thc march was made very pleasant by the good-natured sallies between soldiers of different regiments. -The sun was very warm and oar loads were heavy, but we got acouBtomed to the san at Camp Eller¬ be, and so didn't mind it in the leaBt. Upon our arrival at the point of rendezvous we were drawn up in bat¬ talions, four companies deep, and awaited the arrival of Gen. Sanger and staff. We didn't have long to wait. The band had been instructed to play upon tho approach of the Gen¬ eral, and as he appeared over the crest of a hill to our right we were called to attention and at once beoame as rigid as statutes. The band played a lively march as the chief of pur Division with his numerous staff searchingly inspected the sons of men who started the late unpleasantness. We stood the test. Every gun was properly presented, every blanket roll, haver¬ sack, canteen, etc., was properly adjusted, and when it was over each of us felt that we had nothing to be ashamed of. But the review was still to come. The General, after the in¬ spection of all the regiments, took his position ona knoll and the Division was ordered to país in reviowjin col¬ umn of companies. We stood at rest as regiment after regiment, each led by its band, marched bravely by, com¬ mented on the merits and defects of each, and decided that we could do as well as any of them and better than most of them. Our time finally came. Oar battalion, with Lieutenant-Co¬ lonel Tillman in command, was ordered forward. Proudly thTy stepped out« Placing himself nt its head. Col. JOB. K. Alston gave the regiment ''Col¬ umn left! march!" and each company swung around at 'left turn" aud straightened out at "guide right" in a stylo thc regula ra can't beat. The band played a beautiful quickstep (120 beats to the minute) and with prefect dress and arms at port, mindful of the fact that our fathers had made a record that must not bo lowered and that our chances to go to Porto Rico rested on our succeeding in this parade, wc went hy the reviewers in a style that no picked battalion of cadets can surpass. Having passed by and broken into column of fours we were given "rout step" and Col. Alston, wheeling his horse, rode down tho line, his face wreathed in smiles, and as he neared Company C, he said: "Boys, we're all right. It was fine. Don't worry yourselves going baok but take it easy." The 12th Minnesota went ahead of us going to review and passed thc stand ahead of us, but as tho sun grew warmer they were side-tracked to rest, while our regiment kept up its march until camp was reached, passing our northern friends with many sharp remarks. It was estimated that wc had marched about seven miles altogether, aod.only five men from the whole regiment had to be brought back in thc ambulances, which was the smallest percentage of any regiment out. Last night Col. Tillman announced that wc had beaten any regiment in the Division and that wc would go to Porto Rico ! Company C, your home company, did its whole duty as it will when something more disturbing than a review h«s to be faced. Some of us may not get back to old Anderson again, but whether it be live or die, we will do our duty as our fathers did before us, and when the war is over wc feel that you will have no cause to bo ashamed of us when we get home. ITINERANT. Acknowledges the Resolutions Adopted by the Confederate Veterans. WASHINGTON, July 23.-President McKinley has seDt the following letter to Gen. John B. Gordon, in response to the resolutions adopted by tho Con. federate Veterans' association in ses¬ sion at Atlanta, Ga.: Executive Mansion. Washington, July 23,1898. To Hon. John B. Gordon, Commander- in-Chief United Confederate Veter¬ ans, Atlanta, Ga.: Dear Gen. Gordon: Your recent tel¬ egram in behalf of the United Confed¬ erate Veterans was very welcome and I would have written to you before in acknowledgement excepting for the un¬ usual demands upon my time. The present war has certainly served one very useful purpose in completely nb'''erating thc sectional lines drawn in the last one. The response to the nation's call to arms has been equally spontaneous and patriotic in all parts of the country. Veterans of the gray as well as of the blue are now fighting side by side winning equal honor and renown. Their brave deeds and the unequalled triumphs of our army re¬ ceive the gratitude of the people of the United States. To have such a hearty commenda¬ tion from yourself and your colleagues of the work of this administration in the conduct of the war, and the pledge of whatever support may be needed to help in bringing it to a successful com¬ pletion is indeed most gratifying: and I thank you especially for the frank and cordial expression of the resolu¬ tions passed and forwarded to me. With very kind regards, I am Sincerely yours, WILLIAM MCKINLEY. - No battle in the Mexican war oost the Amerioan army as long a casualty list as that of July first at Santiago. But Gen. Worth, at Molino del Bey, lost a fourth of his 3,500 men, includ¬ ing fifty-eight officers. The percent¬ age of casualties was double that at Santiago. At Monterey and Cerro Gordo the American loss was 500 each, and at Buena Vista less than 800. - The war has caused a great short¬ age of help on the Western farms. AH a result Nebraska farmers are pay¬ ing wages of $2 a day, in addition to board, and then cannot get help enough. -There was $4,000 in Admiral Cer- vera's ship's safe when she went down. Owing to the hurry in leaving he didn't heve time to work the combination and get the money out; hut it is safe in that safe. - Some people have money and don't knowhow to enjoy it, while others know how to enjoy it, but haven't got There in moro Cat.rrb. ia this section of the country than all other, diseases put together, and until tito last few rears waa supposed to bo incur¬ able.

In the battle of Frazier's Farm, Yu., June 30th, 18(12, Capt. Geo. lt. Dean, of Spartanburg, S. C., commanded a com¬ pany of South Carolina Infantry, bia brother Thaddeus being a llrst lieuten¬ ant. ThaddeuH was killed while bearing forward the colors, and his catiteen hus just boen recovered lor his brother rapt Dean, who had on« like it, after these linij; years, from Wonderland Museum in Detroit, through thu instrumentality of our fellow townsman Gen. 1. 1). Toll, assisted by our comrade Joseph H. Keen, of Detroit, Company D, thirteenth Michi¬ gan, whose hlMtory of prison lifo in Rich¬ mond, Danville and AnderHonvlllu is most interesting. Capt. Dean was Geuo- ral Toll'a pbyatciau at Spartanburg, and is a moat genial gentleman. The recovery and return ofthat canteen adds one more to tho acta of klndnoaa and courtesy be¬ tween the Blue and Grey, whoso dovbtion to our common republic is now beyond question.-/'etoakcy {Mich.) Record. In 181)0 v.-hilo Mr. D. B. Bishop, of this .tty, was in Detroit, Mich., he, while looking through the "Wonderland Muse um," eaw acanteen with the inscription, "Lieut. T. C. Dean, killed at Frazier'a farm." As that name was very familiar to Mr. Bishop as being the same aa an¬ other of the younger citizens here, Mr. Thad. C. Deau, Mr. Bishop wrote to Dr. Geo. R. Dean, the father of T. C. Dean here and iuformed him of what ho had HOOD. The Lieut. T. C. Deau on the can¬ teen, waa indeed no other than an older brother ol Dr. Geo. H. Dean, ol'this city, for whom T. C. Dean le namod and who waa killed at Frasier's Farm, .luue 30th, 1862. Dr. Dean entered into correspondence at once aud kept it up for live years with¬ out making auy headway, ¡still be kept up his efforts. To recover thia relic of one of the most gifted and gallant men who gave his life for the cause he felt it his duty to defend, at last strange myste¬ rious chance brought from the colder regions of the great northwest one of her gifted sons, the octogenarian hero of three wara-brave, courteous, gallant General Israel Dy Toll, who needed the warmer breezes of the Southern lands to renew the strength of youth In bia frail body, be came to this city. In his strug¬ gle against grim death, ho called to hie aid Dr Dean, and in the long Interview between doctor and patient, the story ot the canteen was told. General Toll promised Dr. Dean that if his health would permit, on his return home he wc old prooure thin relic of a long lost brother. How well he kept that promise the above clipping from a Potoskey paper tells. General Toll called to bis aid a gcllant Union Soldier, Joseph M Keen, who succeeded after many efforts in obtaining from the muséum tbe long Bought memento of a bloody llçbt fought more than thirty-six years ago. The canteen arrived hero yesterday and Dr. Deau now lins lt. Only those who know Dr. Dean closely, can appreciate the feeling he experienced when this silent, voiceless reminder of a berg's lifo aud death, for a cause that was lost, when ho received lt from tho hands of bis friend. Dr. Dean was not surprised at receiving the canteen, after havlug had Gen. Toll's promise to recover it; for he realized that a true soldier bad taken up his cause, and true soldiers delight to serve each other. All good men will join Dr. Dean In com¬ mending the spirit that prompted Gen. Toll and Mr. Keen to seek thin relio and restore it to the one who could rightly appreolate lt. Mr. Keen bas promised at a future day to furnish a history of this canteen from the time it was taken from the dead body of Lieut. Dean until restored to his brother. It may be interesting to note the fact that Lieut. Dean's body was brought by hia father back to bis native State and lies In the churchyard at Belum, S.

Dean, of Anderson County. I was raised near Williamston, having after tho war taught school, and later, in IMS 70, prac¬ ticed medicino at Belton with my brother- in-law, Dr. W. C. Brown. I am anxious to learn, even at thia late day, anything tbat would be interesting in connection with my brother's service while with the army, and of bis death at Frazier's Farm while gallantly bearing his flag In front of the Reglment-2nd 8. C. Rifles-Col. J. V. Moore commanding. I was at the Military Academy when he enlisted and know very little of those with whom he was associated. He lett school at Green¬ ville to join a Company from his own County. I think at thia time it was Orr's Regiment. I think when stationed on Sullivan's Island-in Jan., 1862-there waa a Mr. Percell or Pulliam or some auch a name, as Captain, a Mr. Philpott aa Lieutenant. I am not sure of the names. He left aa Sergeant, and waa In the commissary awhile. When killed, and found late In the night by bia uncle, Dr. O. R. Horton, bia body had been for . abort while In possession of the Fede¬ rals, some one of whom, finding by his badge that he was a Mason, bad buttoned bia coat and written bia name on a elip of paper and pinned it on his chest, thus giving evidence of the undying fraternity of that grand and noble order whose love and honor ls not lacking even on such an awful occasion as a great and bloody bat¬ tle. I visited the battl-flold recently and found Mr. Herbert Nelson living on Frazier'a Farm, whare he waa living at thai time, he hoing a guide for Longstreet and Stewart that day. There is a Federal cemetery at the Church just east of the borne, toward the James River, in whioh 1,200 Federal soldiers are buried who fell on that terrible 30th of June, 1862. Mr. Nelson Is a genial and noble gentleman and will delight to show any South Caro¬ linian over thia field. I was not, aa tho pieco above quoted indicates, in this fight, and, in fact, was not in Virginia al all during the war, but I am Intensely Interested in anything connected witb tAe brave men who, without any hope, eave the patriotism that burned within them, made up for the Confederacy ono of the grandest armies that ever faced a gallant foe.

IO, a committee waa appointed and in¬ structed to issue au address to tho prohi- 1 hitionists of Anderson county. Tho burn¬ ing question before tito people of South Carolina to-day is Prohibition, lt is tho only question in thc political campaign : worthy of serious consideration. In com- j parison with this question, all party ' schemes and political hobbies sink into I utter insignificance. ( For the llrst time in the history of our j state Prohibition has becotuo a political , issue. It has not ceased to he a moral question because its advocates have been . forced, as a last resort to got«) tho ballot box in waging war against the whiskey traille. Wo baHO our arguments for pro- hibition on moral grounds, ami in giving expression to our political principles wit h reference to tho liquor problem, wo will uso ballots as our weapons in lighting ! this battle for God, for our country, and j for our homes. Wo uoto with pleasure the growing sen¬ timent in favor of prohibition. Tho * causo is gaining strength in every .section throughout our State. Tho public con¬ science is aroused, and tho liquor trafile which has so long disgraced and cursed our fair land is doomed. Tho hearty re- coption which tho prohibition candidate for Governor is receiving wherever ho addresses the people on this vital issue, is a prophecy of tho success of the cause which ho pleads. Tho temperance peo¬ ple aro to bo congratulated in having a strong man, a clean man, a man of integ¬ rity of character, a man of moral princi¬ ple, as their standard bearer. Such a man is C. C. Featherstone. His speech¬ es show that ho is making ins light with fairness and ability. Ho has not de¬ scended to the low lovel of "mud sling¬ ing" and indulging in criminating per¬ sonalities, but ho is discussing a great question in a dignilied md intelligent manner, and is educating tho pcoplo upon a subject which is inseparably related to tho welfare and happiness of every man, woman and child in South Carolina. And, by the way, Hon. C. C. Koathor- Btono is an Anderson county man. Ho is eminently worthy of our support and if elected ho will rcllect honor on his nativo county. Anderson county will honor herself in electing him to tho oilico of Governor. In accordance with tho instructions of the Kxecutivo Committee wo would mako tho following suggestions to tho prohibi¬ tionists of Anderson county. ' 1. Arrange for holding tornperanco pic¬ nics or mass meetings, at least ono in ovory township. Tho good women aro with us in this light against the whiskey traffic, and wo aro sure they aro ready to givo a helping hand to make tho meetings a success. Invito some livo man-not mero oilico seekers, but out and out pro¬ hibitionists-to talk to tho people on tho evils of the legalized sale of liquors, and tho responsibility and duty of voters. 2. Soo to it that overy candidate for the Legislature, hoth tho Senate and the House, pledges himself, if elected, to do all within his power to carry out tho will of tho people. li. Agliato this question from now until the day of election, enlist all the Chris¬ tians of tho county in this nohlo work, and success will surely crown our efforts. Very respectfully, W. It.

The people have maufully stood by the Black Diamond and put up the money to complete thc surveys, maps, and profiles, and have so far secured 80 per eent of thc rights-of-wny for the road through Ohio, Indiana and Ken¬ tucky. Some few have not paid their subscriptions in full, but for the most part the subscribers have been true to their promises and the collections have been good. Now that the people have, by their concerted effort and unselfish sacrifice of time and money, made the building of a truck line railroad through this section not only possible and probable, but certain, it illy becomes thc man through whose land tho road must run to demand exorbitant prices for the right-of-way. It is the common expression that "I would give the right-of-way if I thought the road would ever be built." All right, sir! Just sign a contract for the right-of-way, and if the road isn't built, our word for it, you will ncvor have a foot of ground disturbed. If it is built your cause for not giving is removed. See? Every obstacle you throw in tho way of your neighbor in securing this great railway system, which all must and de admit will be of great value to every section through which it passes, just to that extent you block thc wheels of progress and provent the en¬ hancement of the value of not only your own property but that of your neighbor and the whole community. Wc believe when the situation is rightly explained and thc matter thor¬ oughly looked into, there is not one land owner in ten who will offer seri¬ ous objections. Remember, the right-of-way given secures to you concessions, rights, and privileges, that cannot and will not be vouchsafed when the line must bo forced through by process of law. In that case the corporations take every inch allowed and concede only what the law compels. At least, try and show a reasonable public spirit in dealing with the mat¬ ter.- Dorer {Kt/.) Nctcn.

HEADQUARTERS IST S. C. V. INFAN¬TRY, CAMI« GEO. H. THOMAS.*23B

CHICKAMAIM JA PARK, C3LYTLK, GA., July 23, 1898.

Editors Intelligencer : I know I voicethe sentiment of a majority of themen of thc 1st South Carolina when Isay that I wish those who saw us

march to the depot from old CampEllerbe on June tith, elad iu everypossible variety of citizen's raiment,could have seen us as wc stepped ontat quick time yesterday morning fordivision inspection and review.

For tho past few days, since it hasbeen definitely decided to advance on

Porto Rico, the various regimentsencamped here have been eager toknow what regiments would be luckyenough to be selected for Miles' armyin Porto Rico. We had hopes ofbeing so chosen but were cast downwhen it was reported that only thcfirst two divisions cf Brooks' Corpswould go, but later it was rumoredthat there waa a possibility of onlythe best regiments ordered out and we

thought we stood a show. Be itknown unto you, good people at home,that our life here is not that of a

summer picnic encampment by anymeans. We came for stern business,and came much later than a majorityof the regiments here, many of whomwere completely equipped at the timeof our arrival, so you see that in orderto stand any show at all when the testcame we had to work. We havenearly five hours' drill a day, sentinelduty to perform, long marches tomake, all of whioh keep one busymost of thc time. But the officersand men have worked faithfully andwell that you people may not be madeto feel ashamed of us, and how wellthey have succeeded I shall proceedto show.Day before yesterday orders were

issued for every man to be ready tomarch at (> a. m., promptly. To beready one must be in heavy marchingorder, that is his rubber blauket con¬

taining tent and poles must be rolledand slung over the left shoulder.Haversaok, canteen, tin cup, cartridgebelt and scabbard and rifle completeone man's burden.At 4:30 yesterday the camp wan

made lively by the men getting intoshape for a test of endurance andknowledge of military science. At a

little before six the bugle soundedassembly, and in five minutes theFirst Battalion was in line of march,followed successively by the Secondand Third. As wo passed out of our

grove the band struck up a beautifulmarch, and nothing more was heardbut the steady "tramp" of twelvecompanies of blue clad boys from theold Palmetto State as they wheeledinto column of fours and began itsthree-mile tramp to Snodgrass Hill forDivision inspection and review.

It had been whispered along theline that this drill was competitiveand the best regiments would surelygo to the front at once. So we were

put on our mettle.Eight other regiments were aUo

on the move, and thc march was madevery pleasant by the good-naturedsallies between soldiers of differentregiments. -The sun was very warmand oar loads were heavy, but we gotacouBtomed to the san at Camp Eller¬be, and so didn't mind it in the leaBt.Upon our arrival at the point of

rendezvous we were drawn up in bat¬talions, four companies deep, andawaited the arrival of Gen. Sangerand staff. We didn't have long towait. The band had been instructedto play upon tho approach of the Gen¬eral, and as he appeared over the crestof a hill to our right we were called toattention and at once beoame as rigidas statutes. The band played a livelymarch as the chief of pur Divisionwith his numerous staff searchinglyinspected the sons of men who startedthe late unpleasantness. We stoodthe test. Every gun was properlypresented, every blanket roll, haver¬sack, canteen, etc., was properlyadjusted, and when it was over eachof us felt that we had nothing to beashamed of. But the review was stillto come. The General, after the in¬spection of all the regiments, took hisposition ona knoll and the Divisionwas ordered to país in reviowjin col¬umn of companies. We stood at restas regiment after regiment, each ledby its band, marched bravely by, com¬mented on the merits and defects ofeach, and decided that we could do aswell as any of them and better thanmost of them. Our time finally came.Oar battalion, with Lieutenant-Co¬lonel Tillman in command, was orderedforward. Proudly thTy stepped out«

Placing himself nt its head. Col. JOB.K. Alston gave the regiment ''Col¬umn left! march!" and each companyswung around at 'left turn" audstraightened out at "guide right" in a

stylo thc regula ra can't beat. Theband played a beautiful quickstep (120beats to the minute) and with prefectdress and arms at port, mindful ofthe fact that our fathers had made a

record that must not bo lowered andthat our chances to go to Porto Ricorested on our succeeding in thisparade, wc went hy the reviewers in a

style that no picked battalion ofcadets can surpass.

Having passed by and broken intocolumn of fours we were given "routstep" and Col. Alston, wheeling hishorse, rode down tho line, his facewreathed in smiles, and as he nearedCompany C, he said: "Boys, we're allright. It was fine. Don't worryyourselves going baok but take iteasy."The 12th Minnesota went ahead of

us going to review and passed thcstand ahead of us, but as tho sun grewwarmer they were side-tracked to rest,while our regiment kept up its marchuntil camp was reached, passing ournorthern friends with many sharpremarks.

It was estimated that wc had marchedabout seven miles altogether, aod.onlyfive men from the whole regiment hadto be brought back in thc ambulances,which was the smallest percentage ofany regiment out.Last night Col. Tillman announced

that wc had beaten any regiment inthe Division and that wc would go toPorto Rico !Company C, your home company,

did its whole duty as it will whensomething more disturbing than a

review h«s to be faced.Some of us may not get back to old

Anderson again, but whether it belive or die, we will do our duty as our

fathers did before us, and when thewar is over wc feel that you will haveno cause to bo ashamed of us when we

get home. ITINERANT.

WASHINGTON, July 23.-PresidentMcKinley has seDt the following letterto Gen. John B. Gordon, in responseto the resolutions adopted by tho Con.federate Veterans' association in ses¬sion at Atlanta, Ga.:

Executive Mansion.Washington, July 23,1898.

To Hon. John B. Gordon, Commander-in-Chief United Confederate Veter¬ans, Atlanta, Ga.:Dear Gen. Gordon: Your recent tel¬

egram in behalf of the United Confed¬erate Veterans was very welcome andI would have written to you before inacknowledgement excepting for the un¬usual demands upon my time.The present war has certainly served

one very useful purpose in completelynb'''erating thc sectional lines drawnin the last one. The response to thenation's call to arms has been equallyspontaneous and patriotic in all partsof the country. Veterans of the grayas well as of the blue are now fightingside by side winning equal honor andrenown. Their brave deeds and theunequalled triumphs of our army re¬ceive the gratitude of the people ofthe United States.To have such a hearty commenda¬

tion from yourself and your colleaguesof the work of this administration inthe conduct of the war, and the pledgeof whatever support may be needed tohelp in bringing it to a successful com¬pletion is indeed most gratifying: andI thank you especially for the frankand cordial expression of the resolu¬tions passed and forwarded to me.With very kind regards, I am

Sincerely yours,WILLIAM MCKINLEY.

A Silent Memento of the Past.

In the battle of Frazier's Farm, Yu.,June 30th, 18(12, Capt. Geo. lt. Dean, ofSpartanburg, S. C., commanded a com¬pany of South Carolina Infantry, biabrother Thaddeus being a llrst lieuten¬ant. ThaddeuH was killed while bearingforward the colors, and his catiteen husjust boen recovered lor his brother raptDean, who had on« like it, after theselinij; years, from Wonderland Museumin Detroit, through thu instrumentality ofour fellow townsman Gen. 1. 1). Toll,assisted by our comrade Joseph H. Keen,of Detroit, Company D, thirteenth Michi¬gan, whose hlMtory of prison lifo in Rich¬mond, Danville and AnderHonvlllu ismost interesting. Capt. Dean was Geuo-ral Toll'a pbyatciau at Spartanburg, andis a moat genial gentleman. The recoveryand return ofthat canteen adds one moreto tho acta of klndnoaa and courtesy be¬tween the Blue and Grey, whoso dovbtionto our common republic is now beyondquestion.-/'etoakcy {Mich.) Record.

In 181)0 v.-hilo Mr. D. B. Bishop, of this.tty, was in Detroit, Mich., he, whilelooking through the "Wonderland Museum," eaw acanteen with the inscription,"Lieut. T. C. Dean, killed at Frazier'afarm." As that name was very familiarto Mr. Bishop as being the same aa an¬other of the younger citizens here, Mr.Thad. C. Deau, Mr. Bishop wrote to Dr.Geo. R. Dean, the father of T. C. Deanhere and iuformed him of what ho hadHOOD. The Lieut. T. C. Deau on the can¬teen, waa indeed no other than an olderbrother ol Dr. Geo. H. Dean, ol'this city,for whom T. C. Dean le namod and whowaa killed at Frasier's Farm, .luue 30th,1862.Dr. Dean entered into correspondence

at once aud kept it up for live years with¬out making auy headway, ¡still be keptup his efforts. To recover thia relic ofone of the most gifted and gallant menwho gave his life for the cause he felt ithis duty to defend, at last strange myste¬rious chance brought from the colderregions of the great northwest one of hergifted sons, the octogenarian hero ofthree wara-brave, courteous, gallantGeneral Israel Dy Toll, who needed thewarmer breezes of the Southern lands torenew the strength of youth In bia frailbody, be came to this city. In his strug¬gle against grim death, ho called to hieaid Dr Dean, and in the long Interviewbetween doctor and patient, the story otthe canteen was told. General Tollpromised Dr. Dean that if his healthwould permit, on his return home hewc old prooure thin relic of a long lostbrother. How well he kept that promisethe above clipping from a Potoskey papertells. General Toll called to bis aid agcllant Union Soldier, Joseph M Keen,who succeeded after many efforts inobtaining from the muséum tbe longBought memento of a bloody llçbt foughtmore than thirty-six years ago.The canteen arrived hero yesterday and

Dr. Deau now lins lt. Only those whoknow Dr. Dean closely, can appreciatethe feeling he experienced when thissilent, voiceless reminder of a berg's lifoaud death, for a cause that was lost, whenho received lt from tho hands of bisfriend.

Dr. Dean was not surprised at receivingthe canteen, after havlug had Gen. Toll'spromise to recover it; for he realized thata true soldier bad taken up his cause, andtrue soldiers delight to serve each other.All good men will join Dr. Dean In com¬mending the spirit that prompted Gen.Toll and Mr. Keen to seek thin relio andrestore it to the one who could rightlyappreolate lt.Mr. Keen bas promised at a future day

to furnish a history of this canteen fromthe time it was taken from the dead bodyof Lieut. Dean until restored to hisbrother. It may be interesting to notethe fact that Lieut. Dean's body wasbrought by hia father back to bis nativeState and lies In the churchyard at Belum,S. C., beside that father who lon ir sincehas Oled.-Spurtanburg Herald, nth inst.

you a Bpartanburg Herald with a mark¬ed communication, which will tell Hsown story. J, as also the T. C. Dean re¬

ferred to, am a sou of tho late Kev. C. P.Dean, of Anderson County. I was raisednear Williamston, having after tho wartaught school, and later, in IMS 70, prac¬ticed medicino at Belton with my brother-in-law, Dr. W. C. Brown. I am anxiousto learn, even at thia late day, anythingtbat would be interesting in connectionwith my brother's service while with thearmy, and of bis death at Frazier's Farmwhile gallantly bearing his flag In frontof the Reglment-2nd 8. C. Rifles-Col.J. V. Moore commanding. I was at theMilitary Academy when he enlisted andknow very little of those with whom hewas associated. He lett school at Green¬ville to join a Company from his ownCounty. I think at thia time it was Orr'sRegiment. I think when stationed onSullivan's Island-in Jan., 1862-therewaa a Mr. Percell or Pulliam or someauch a name, as Captain, a Mr. Philpottaa Lieutenant. I am not sure of thenames. He left aa Sergeant, and waa Inthe commissary awhile. When killed,and found late In the night by bia uncle,Dr. O. R. Horton, bia body had been for. abort while In possession of the Fede¬rals, some one of whom, finding by hisbadge that he was a Mason, bad buttonedbia coat and written bia name on a elip ofpaper and pinned it on his chest, thusgiving evidence of the undying fraternityof that grand and noble order whose loveand honor ls not lacking even on such anawful occasion as a great and bloody bat¬tle. I visited the battl-flold recently andfound Mr. Herbert Nelson living onFrazier'a Farm, whare he waa living atthai time, he hoing a guide for Longstreetand Stewart that day. There is a Federalcemetery at the Church just east of theborne, toward the James River, in whioh1,200 Federal soldiers are buried who fellon that terrible 30th of June, 1862. Mr.Nelson Is a genial and noble gentlemanand will delight to show any South Caro¬linian over thia field. I was not, aa thopieco above quoted indicates, in thisfight, and, in fact, was not in Virginia alall during the war, but I am IntenselyInterested in anything connected witbtAe brave men who, without any hope,eave the patriotism that burned withinthem, made up for the Confederacy onoof the grandest armies that ever faced a

gallant foe.If by chanco this communication shall

A l'icn for Prohibition. IAt a meeting of tho Prohibition exec¬

utive Committee hold at Anderson July '.IO, a committee waa appointed and in¬structed to issue au address to tho prohi- 1

hitionists of Anderson county. Tho burn¬ing question before tito people of SouthCarolina to-day is Prohibition, lt is thoonly question in thc political campaign :worthy of serious consideration. In com- jparison with this question, all party '

schemes and political hobbies sink into Iutter insignificance. (

For the llrst time in the history of our jstate Prohibition has becotuo a political ,issue. It has not ceased to he a moralquestion because its advocates have been .

forced, as a last resort to got«) tho ballotbox in waging war against the whiskeytraille. Wo baHO our arguments for pro-hibition on moral grounds, ami in givingexpression to our political principles wit hreference to tho liquor problem, wo willuso ballots as our weapons in lighting !this battle for God, for our country, and jfor our homes.Wo uoto with pleasure the growing sen¬

timent in favor of prohibition. Tho *

causo is gaining strength in every .sectionthroughout our State. Tho public con¬science is aroused, and tho liquor trafilewhich has so long disgraced and cursedour fair land is doomed. Tho hearty re-coption which tho prohibition candidatefor Governor is receiving wherever hoaddresses the people on this vital issue,is a prophecy of tho success of the causewhich ho pleads. Tho temperance peo¬ple aro to bo congratulated in having astrong man, a clean man, a man of integ¬rity of character, a man of moral princi¬ple, as their standard bearer. Such aman is C. C. Featherstone. His speech¬es show that ho is making ins light withfairness and ability. Ho has not de¬scended to the low lovel of "mud sling¬ing" and indulging in criminating per¬sonalities, but ho is discussing a greatquestion in a dignilied md intelligentmanner, and is educating tho pcoplo upona subject which is inseparably related totho welfare and happiness of every man,woman and child in South Carolina.And, by the way, Hon. C. C. Koathor-

Btono is an Anderson county man. Hois eminently worthy of our support andif elected ho will rcllect honor on hisnativo county. Anderson county willhonor herself in electing him to tho oilicoof Governor.

In accordance with tho instructions ofthe Kxecutivo Committee wo would makotho following suggestions to tho prohibi¬tionists of Anderson county.

' 1. Arrange for holding tornperanco pic¬nics or mass meetings, at least ono inovory township. Tho good women arowith us in this light against the whiskeytraffic, and wo aro sure they aro ready togivo a helping hand to make tho meetingsa success. Invito some livo man-notmero oilico seekers, but out and out pro¬hibitionists-to talk to tho people on thoevils of the legalized sale of liquors, andtho responsibility and duty of voters.

2. Soo to it that overy candidate forthe Legislature, hoth tho Senate and theHouse, pledges himself, if elected, to doall within his power to carry out tho willof tho people.

li. Agliato this question from now untilthe day of election, enlist all the Chris¬tians of tho county in this nohlo work,and success will surely crown our efforts.

Very respectfully,W. It. RICHARDSON,J. N. H. St.'MMKUKI.I.,L. I». SMITH.

Railroad Talk.

The people have maufully stood bythe Black Diamond and put up themoney to complete thc surveys, maps,and profiles, and have so far secured 80per eent of thc rights-of-wny for theroad through Ohio, Indiana and Ken¬tucky. Some few have not paid theirsubscriptions in full, but for the mostpart the subscribers have been trueto their promises and the collectionshave been good.Now that the people have, by their

concerted effort and unselfish sacrificeof time and money, made the buildingof a truck line railroad through thissection not only possible and probable,but certain, it illy becomes thc manthrough whose land tho road must runto demand exorbitant prices for theright-of-way.

It is the common expression that "Iwould give the right-of-way if I thoughtthe road would ever be built." Allright, sir! Just sign a contract for theright-of-way, and if the road isn't built,our word for it, you will ncvor have afoot of ground disturbed. If it is builtyour cause for not giving is removed.See?

Every obstacle you throw in tho wayof your neighbor in securing thisgreat railway system, which all mustand de admit will be of great value toevery section through which it passes,just to that extent you block thcwheels of progress and provent the en¬hancement of the value of not onlyyour own property but that of yourneighbor and the whole community.Wc believe when the situation is

rightly explained and thc matter thor¬oughly looked into, there is not oneland owner in ten who will offer seri¬ous objections.

Remember, the right-of-way givensecures to you concessions, rights, andprivileges, that cannot and will not bevouchsafed when the line must boforced through by process of law. Inthat case the corporations take everyinch allowed and concede only whatthe law compels.At least, try and show a reasonable

public spirit in dealing with the mat¬ter.- Dorer {Kt/.) Nctcn.
