Howard:

I posted two of the arfticles; one I believe is now on the "two months old" board,' andx the other one the "one month", if that is the proper terminology. I found both of them in the Greenville [S.C.] Mountaineer, in June,1902, editions. They were copied from the Laurens [S.C.] Advertiser, a weekly published in that town about 40 miles southeast of Greenville. I just checked on the Advertiser files on microfilm at the Laurens County Libaray, and there are, as is often the case, numberous missing issues, and I could only find one of the two articles printed. If you read the two articles, there is the clear inference that a third article was also printed in the Advertiser, but I could not locate it.

Poor Bleeding Kansas. Outsiders, North and South, apparently flocked to the territory with no real intention of settling, only to vote on the competing constitutions. Being from South Casrolina, I recall reading about this in my history, but it never came became so vivid until I read these two personal articles.

If I can round up the original copies I made of the microfilm, it is my itnention to send them to the Kansas Historical Society. I'll get around to it soem day soon -- just ahve to either find them in my stack of papers, or go back to Greenville and recopy them.
