Instead of taking up the next brigade of thc series, I wish to place here a slight tribute to the man in the ranks, and feel sure it wili meet with the hearty approval of our Chapter, as at our coming Memorial exercises we will spread our table, not alone for the officer, but for his subordinate in lank, as well. The Man in the Ranks. While we are learning of the great Generals who have made the South famous, it no less behooves us to pause for a moment and look with tender, tear-dimmed eye upon the man in the ranks, the man whose duty it was to give unquestioning obedience to orders, the man who knew "not to reason why, . only to do or die," in defense of his native land. The man who dug the trenches and built the breastworks; the man who rushed to the onset at the word of command, who faltered not nor failed in the discharge of his duty to his God and his country. Just after the war between the states, William Abney, writing of a beloved young soldier who had given his life for his country spoke thus: "The historian of the war, perchance, will deem that he has discharged his obligation to posteri ty, when his stylus has inscribed on the historic scroll the name of each Captain or colonel or Knight at arms, who has figured in the event ful story, the successes he has j achieved and his vivats of popular applause. But it will be the legacy ! of the faithful character to fill up the chasm left by the more ambi tious historian, and set down with gold on lasting pillars the names and unhonored laurels ofthose war rior heroes, who though holding 1 subordinate stations in the military arena, nevertheless dealt doughty blows and performed prodigies of valour in delivering their country from the galling yoke of servitude.

T the names of these devoted martyrs who have thus poured out the rich spilth of their hearts best blood as a libation to the Goddess of Lib erty." Among the books of Joseph Ab ney I found a pocket edition of Moore's Poems carried with him through the war in the back of which were these words: "Copied from the back of an old letter found on the body of an unidentified sol dier in the ranks:" Then followed this most beautiful poem that has become a house-hold word through out the entire south and will live to be handed down through couatless ages and which will make the man immortal: "AU quiet along the Potomac to night Except now and then a stray picket is shot As he walks on his beat to and fro By a rifleman hid in the thicket, &c. &c. It will never be^cnowu who pen nedthese exquisitelines but the mem ory of the man, the lone picket along Potomac's banks, will live in the hearts and minds of men long after the names of our Generals are lost. Imagine him in the long quiet watches of the night, pacing back and forth, back and forth, keeping ward over the thousands who slept "alls quiet exoept now and then," the picket is shot by the rifleman, bid in the thicket. Then the pickets off duty forever." What chances the man in the ranks took! What deeds of daring he performed. At one time he saved his country's flag, at another he threw himself between his com mander and death. Oh, the deathless courage, the unfailing love, the unabating zeal of the man in the ranks! Can we ever cease to love him, to be proud of him, to rejoice that he was ours?

Edgefield Readers Should Learn to Keep the Kidneys Well. The kidneys have a big work to do. All the blood in the body is coursing through the kidneys con stantly to be freed of poisonous matter. It is a heavy enough task when the kidneys are well, but a cold, chill, fever or some thought less exposure is likely to irritate, inflame and congest the kidneys and interrupt the purifying work. Then the aching frequently be gins and is often accompanied by some irregularity of the urine-too frequent passages, sediment or re tention. Thousands testify to the wonderful merit of Doan's kidney pills, a remedy for the kidneys only, that has been used in kidney troub les 50 years. You will make no mistake in following this Edgefield citizen's advice. Mrs. J T Pattison, Edgefield, S. C., says: "I have given Doan's kid ney pills a thorough trial and I know them to be a splendid remedy.
