The Darlington Democrat has a cor
respondent who writes over the nom
deplume of “ Hired Man.” His em
ployer, “ The old Man,” is a Republi
can whom “Hired Man” had long
been trying to convince of the error
of his ways, and apparently with but
little success. The opportunity came
at last, as the sequel will show:
“The other day the Old Man was taken
suddenly very sick; I thought for a short
time he would die. I got him to bed and
waited on him as tenderly as a mother would
on her only child. For a short time the case
was doubtful. At last I brought him around.
