The remains of .lohn Charles Acker, whose death has already been men tioned, arrived home Wednesday at 11 o'clock, accompanied by Dr. Haynio, of our tow n, who was with him when ho died. His composure was wonder ful as he faced death. Just before the end he called his physician, nurse and servants to his bedside and paid them for their services, and had Dr. Ifaynie to buy his casket, describing what he wanted, and also dictating as to how Iiis trunk should be packed, saying he would be in Heaven in a lew minutes.

Reunion Day lias I'een Settled Upon. Tho annual reunion of the Confeder ate veteran* of South Carolina will he held in Columbia next May. and the sth is the day selected by Camp Hamp ton. The time i.s always selected by the community which invites the vet erans. Heretofore the reunions have been held in August, but for a good many reasons it was thought best to hold it in Columbia in May. The principal reason is that it is pro posed to have an encampment as well n< a reunion, and May is tho most suit able month for such a diversion for the Johnn y Kebs. At the regular monthly meeting of Camp Hampton last night the follow ing was read aw an oMiciul communica tion from Uen.C. I. Walker, the official head of the veterans1 organization of this State: Sljimkuvii.i.k.S. C, Dec. 1, 1000. Captain I). It. Flenniken, Columbia, S. C: My Dear Captain: I have, advices that the Memphis reunion will be held either .July f)th or 17th. So May will do admirably for our State reunion, so taras ihi* genera! reunion is concerned. From previous experience I find that the only time in the Spring which suits the plauters is between planting and the first workin?; of tho crops. Usual ly, though, it depends on the season, the latter part of April or early in May is the time such a cessation of farm la bor is most apt to come. So we had best have it as early in May as possible. The first Wednesday in the month is inconvenient for business men, so I think tho next week had best bo decid ed on?say Wednesday, May 8th. Please consult the committee and see if they agree with me, and if so fix that date. Remember your local committee has to look after low railroad rates. They usually give 1 cent per mile for soldiers, but as wo have asked tho Georgia di vision, this had best bo asked for to in clude Georgia. If desired, I will co-op erate and also ask for low rates. But I cannot do this until you advise molhat you wish it and that you have agreed on the date I name. As tho Georgia division has been asked, please provide headquarters for it and proper registration thereat. 1 would further submit that you might usk the North Carolina division, but I am not at all fixed on that. They were asked at Chester anil did not re spond generally. Another thing, in providing free meals and quarters, let me advise that you take such precautions as will pre vent imposition, and that you furnish them only for tho indigent. At Augus ta a party told mo that ho saw a man worth $40,000 apply for free meal tick ets. I don't think this is right. Thanks for personal advice in your favor of the 30th inst. Yours very truly, C. I. Walker. Comrade. U. R. Brooks moved that the 8th day of May bo adopted. This was carried. Capt. Angus 1*. Brown moved that Gen. C. Irvino Walker bo requested to cooperate with tho committee on rail road rates and to aid otherwise in mak ing tho reunion in May n success. It was moved that work be taken up immediately after tho holidays aud pushed with all vigor. Col. I). Cardwell was then called up on by Comrade T. B. Legare for au ex pression of opinion as regards rates, and in reply stated that ho thought that there would bo no trouble in get ting a very low rates and in his opiuion the time was last approaching when the veterans would be transported free to their reunions.?Th? State. A Tribute of Respect. At a recent meetingof Myrtle Forest, No. (59, W. O. \V., tho following resolu tions wcro unanimously adopted: Whereas, God in His all-wiso provi dence has deemed it best to remove from our midst our fraternal brother, Soveroign J. Charles Acker.

That we strive more earnestly to emulate the many noble charities that characterized the life and actions of our departed brother. 4th. That a page in our minutes be dedicated to his memory. 5th.
