"The Carolina Spartan" Issue: August 31, 1881 MARRIED: August 21st, 1881, by T. Earle Johnson, N.P., Mr. Thomas PHILLIPS and Miss Nancy BRIDGES, all of Spartanburg county. The friends of Mr. A.T. PEETE will doubtless be glad to learn that he has secured a contract from the Gary memorial fund committee to furnish 500 life size bust pictures of the late Gen. GARY. The friends of Captain KIRKLAND regret to learn that he has grown worse in the last few days. Dr. MEANS started Tuesday morning to visit him. Last Friday, Dr. J.T. CALVERT and Miss GALAUDET were driving in a buggy, when the horse, Frank Hampton, became frightened and ran away. The buggy was over-turned and the young lady was thrown against the ground, and bruised somewhat, but not severely. The Doctor in attempting to check the horse was dragged some distance and severely bruised, and one rib broken. This should be a hint to him to secure a rib that will not break. He is doing well, and his many friends hope to see him in his office in a few days. The same day Mr. PARROTT and Miss HERNDON were out near Cedar Springs riding horseback, when the girth of Miss HERNDON's saddle broke and she was thrown to the ground and received a bruise on one arm, but was not seriously hurt. A young man says the reason young ladies do not get hurt when they fall that, being Angels, they are borne up by Angel's hands. Hon. T.L. JONES, of Newport, Ky., formerly a citizen of this place, has been paying a visit to friends and relatives in this section of the country. He has many pleasant reminiscences of the old days in this State, when he was a school-boy here and at Limestone Springs and at Columbia. He graduated at the Harvard Law School. He settled in Kentucky, where he has attained position and honor. He represented that State in Congress. when South Carolina was represented by carpet-baggers, and A.S. WALLACE. He often raised his voice for the old Palmetto State, and felt that it was his duty to look after her interest in the day of her prostration. IS IT INJUSTICE OR IGNORANCE? Mr. Editor:--I believe you let a man, if he is a sort of common fellow, enter his complaints against officers' wrongs and abuses in your paper. I came in one day last week and had to keep sober because the old woman was along, but I saw a man from the country who had been enticed into a barroom by some of your town folks and made drunk. Being a common fellow from the country, one of the policeman grabbed him like he was a wild beast and started to the calaboose. Going down the street this poor fellow pulled back, not knowing what he was doing. Another policeman near at hand ran up and gathered the unfortunate man by the other arm and jerked him along in a very inhuman manner. It was enough to make a big, soft-hearted man sick to see two little police acting so. But that poor fellow was from the country and it made no odds how he was treated, and it was in broad daylight when everybody could see him. I sometimes get a peep into your town at night. Did you know that a few nights ago some men got on a big spree and charged about, and cavorted, and cut up, and were a hundred times more disorderly than that poor man from the country? These same policemen could not be found. Oh, no, they can't see town boys when they tear up things. People can shoot pistols and guns at night until women and children are scared half to death, and these valiant police don't hear a word. Now somebody is to blame. Who is it? A man from the country has as much right to get drunk as one from the town, and one from the town has as much right to be arrested as one from the country. Can't you tell us who is to blame? COUNTRY {There is, perhaps, some cause for complaint, and the editor would respectfully refer the matter to the City Council.} Lewis R. REDMOND's case was called in the United States Court at Greenville last week. His attorney, General GARLINGTON' arose and said that his client would plead guilty to certain charges. The different counts were then read, and the prisoner answered guilty to eight charges for illicit traffic in whiskey, and two for resisting officers. Some of the charges were nol prosed by District-Attorney MELTON. The lowest sentence that can be read out against him is five years and four months and the longest time is twenty-eight years. REDMOND, after the trial, went to a picture gallery and had his picture taken. Some of the revenue officers sat with him and thus gained glory and immortality. It is suggested that REDMOND will soon be pardoned and enter the revenue force. GREENVILLE'S FIRST BRIDE A correspondent states that the first native of Greenville ever married here was Miss Fitzhugh DYER, who was married to Davis WHITMAN, formerly of Boston. Mrs. WHITMAN still lives, being now with her son at Pacolet Depot, S.C. She is the mother of ten children, two of whom were given to the Confederate cause. At the time of her marriage there were but three or four houses where our thriving city now stands. One of her sons was in the city yesterday. Verily, the generation has brought changes! - Daily News. J.W. TIMMERMAN and J.W. BUZZARD, near Fruit Hill, in Edgefield County, disagreed about a line fence last year. Matters had been growing worse, until last week they met in the public road and TIMMERMAN shot BUZZARD, killing him instantly. He also shot a son of BUZZARD in the thigh, inflicting a severe wound. They were armed with shot-guns. TIMMERMAN was also wounded. He mounted a horse and rode away. free post Lisa
