The young Lady in the story nas kinsfolk residing in and near ?his county: One of the most pleasing and im nressive relics of the War of the Rev olution (July 1775-August, 178.3) i.s a pair of gold ear-rings, which tell the story of those stirring times. They were made for Martha Lenoir, ?iged 12 years, the daughter of Thom as Lenoir, of South Carolina, and ?vore well-merited reward for her navery and filial devotion to her fa ther. The latter was a Continental ?oldier in the fatal battle of Cam den, S. C., one of the two greatest re verses the Americans suffered in the entire eight ye*Jfc of the war, and he a a s wounded and captured. His home ?vas not far from the battlefield, ? ?nd when the terrible news of the ? rushing defeat came the little he roine prepared a dinner and rode on horseback to the headquarters of Lord ( harles Cornwallis, the British com mander. To him she made petition to He allowed to see her father. His ordship, soldier antd gentleman, was greatly pleased by her spirit, and granted her request with pleasure, ?she divided her dintner between her father and Corivwallts, and to her in finite surprise and joy the latter told her he would grant her more than she asked and then gave her father to her custody, a prisoner no longer. A few days later Captain Lenoir gave a couple of gold coins to a Scotch blacksmith to make her a pair of ear-rings, and be made these of dou ble circlets, in a quaint and charm ing design. The ear-rings have been deposited in the North Carolina Hall of History by Mr. Gordon Hackett, o^ North Wilkesboro, a. great grandson of the gallant little Martha of the long ago. Captain Thomas Ix;noir was a brother of General William Lenoir, of the Revolutionary army, whose home, well preserved, is at "Fort Defiance", in what is now Caldwell county, and whose name is perpetuated by a county and bv a town.", A cemetery for noble horses in which lie buried ten regal, history making rulers of the turf has been established by John E. Madden at Lexington, Kentucky, in the hope that this may be the "Westminster Ab bey" for great hors??.

May Day a Success (From The Wat?roe Gauzette) May Day at Wateree proved a great success in every way. For once the weather man fa vored us with ideal conditions and a large crowd of pedple were out to enjoy the festivi ties. And everybody appar ently had a good time*- - The program started with *ome races by the boys and the boys entered into the races .vith a great deal of spirit that created lots of excitement and amusement. The first race, the sack race was won by Ivy Holomon. Dewey Dority won the ob stacle race. The antelope race was won by small boys captained by J. ?. Johnson. Davis' relay team won the baseball relay and Norman Cameron won the egg and spoon race. All the winners re ceived a prize of 50c. The next event was the tug of war betw?een the weave and card rooms. The weave room won the event even though Cullie Conyers was pulling for the card room. Then followed the May pole dance by the small girls which was very well done. Miss Vaughan and a group of Wood Nymphs from tihe pageant "Camden, Yesterday and To day" were next on the pro gram and their dancing was very prettily done to the en joyment of the large crowd. The crowning of the May Queen came next and Miss Al ma Raley was the favorite among all the girls present and was chosen "Queen of the May." Miss Raley came from the crowd, took her place on the throne that had been pre pared and the crown was plac ed on her head by Mr. R. R. Higgins of Boston. Mr. Hig gins also presented Alma with a fine box of chocolates. The rest of the program was given over to the base ball game between Hermitage and Wateree which proved very in teresting.

State's Progress Reflected In Telephone Growth ^THL: growth and progress of South Carolina last year was strikingly reflected in the large investment in addi tions and extensions to the tele phone system. Such an active year of con struction has rarely been expe rienced in the State, and, as a result, the telephone service is more extensive and more valu able than ever before^3 In South Carolina last year the telephone workers handled 1 1,72V telephone stations, making a net gain of 2,595 new telephones and involving gross additions to plant of approxi mately $645,880. To accomplish this hi ? task required the services ot 763 workers, whose annual wage bill was $806,949. The investment in service in South Carolina as of December 31, 1924, was 57,207,196, and there are now ^7,388 Hell tele phones in the State. Some of the items included in the investment a^e 55 cen tral unices, 100,682 miles ot wire, 1,893 miles of pole line and 124 miles of underground duct. - There is, a bigger task ahead this year, and your considerate interest encourages the tele . phone workers in their effort to serve vou even better.
