THE CONFEDERATE REUNION. A Pleasant Occasion ak Greenville for the Survivors ol the Confederate Army. Greenville. August H.-The reuulor. convention adjourned siue die at 6 o'clock last Thursday evening, after a harmo nious session bf two days. The election of officors resulted in the unanimous ohoice of Gen. Thoa. W. Carwile for divi sion commander;Gen. Zimmerman Davis, first hrlgade commander; Gen. li. II. Teague, second brigade commander. ID Uko manner tho following veterans were chosen to serve on the State pension board: W. D. Starling, Columbia; W. H. Hardin, Chester; H. M. Lobby, Charles ton. The meet inj: placo for noxt year was loft to Gen. Carwilo, division commauder. Maj. W. M. Foster, of Spartanburg, and W. W. Lumpkin, of Columbia, made beautiful and entertaining speeches just boforo adjournment, and the oonventiou united in singing: "When the roll is callad up yonder." Thobonodiotion was pronounced by Maj. W. M. Foster, and thus was ended ono of tho mat delight ful sessions evor bold by tho voterans. Tho best of order prevailed throughout tho mooting. Tho second day of tho rounion of tho Unitod Confederate Yotoraus of South Carolina dawned cjear and warm. Long boforo tho sun roso tho streets rosoundod with tho 'steady tramp of tho veterans, whoBO numbors were greatly augmonted by arrivals during the night. The hotels woro crowdod to ovorfiowing, bat the hospitable homos of citizens woro thrown wido opon. Whilo tho business mootlngB woro enjoy ablo, tho voterans seemingly proforced tho social intercourse on the streots and in thoir temporary homes, whoro scones and incidents that long Bince havopassod into momorios woro recounted with tho same interest as if thoy transpired only a fow days ago. Col. J. M. Austin, of Atlanta, addressed tho voterans. Ho is a South Carolina boy and his fnthor and mother? Dr. and Mrs. W. H. Austin, wore perhaps tho most interested listeners in the auuionco. His was an ablo address and commanded closest attention. When he painted tho scones surrounding tho Southorn homos ; when tho soldior boys, thon in tho vigor of young manhood, responded to tho call of thoir country, moro than half of tho audience w as moved to tears. When ho said tKat tho motto of tho womon from Maryland to Toxas was: "I would rather bo tho widow of soldior thau the wifo of a coward," tho audiouco aroso and applauded. In tho midst of his speech Qon. M. C. Huller ontorod tho ball aud some ono yelled, "Butler," whioh was tho signal for an ovation. Tho ovont of tho day was tho mem orial on Gen. Wade Hampton, which was unanimously adopted by a rising voto. This memorial was presented by its author, Col. .las. A. Hoyt. Col. Hoyt was followed by Gen. M. C. Butler, who .-poko in high praiso of tho illustrious doad. At tho conclusion of Gen. Butlor's oulogy Capt. Zimmerman Davis, of Char leston, and U. H. Brooks, of Columbia, added to tho tributes paid tho chieftain. AN INTKUK.STINO BOBBE. Col. Jamos Armstrong addressed tho meeting. Ile was athis host. His witti cism kept tho audience in au uproar of laug hier. He spoke of his lifo of "singlo blessedness," and candidly admitted that it was not his fault. In his despe ration ho appealed to tho ladios to take pity OU him, referring especially to tho pretty young lady sponsors and maids of honor. He admitted that such a union would be an exemplification of May and December. "Hut," said Col. Armstrong, "1 repeat that if ono of these pretty young ladies will take pity on mo and como foreward I will gladly commit my keeping into ber bands." Tho word? bad scarcely fallon from his lips when Miss Gertrude Epperson, of Sumter, sponsor for Camp Dick Ander son, and a bewitchingly pretty young woman, walked up beside bim, extended her hand and said: "Horo I am, Mr. Armstrong; will you liavo mc?" Cot. Armstrong lirst turned as whitens his naturally florid complexion would permit , then red and finally as blue as an egg plant. Tito audience howled, many pressing forward, extending thoir hands in congratulation, whilo the young lady looked into bis faco enjoying his con fusion. Col. Armstrong becamo dos pera to. Tho crowd continuing to shout and applaud with ono convulsive offert, he reached out and put his arm around hor waist, and boforo sho could release her self from his grasp, implanted a kiss on her left chook, lt was ?hon somebody else's turn to blush, MK.MOIUAI, TO BAMPTON. Col. Jas. A. Hoytdolivorod an eloquent oulogy of Gen, Wado Hampton. Ho said in part: Wade Hampton was not unlike Iiis great conimandci in many respects, and in the provinco of God ho was called upon to pass through perilous scones and enduro trials that were akin to his expia lenee ill the tide of W.lr. A8 a soldior ho was the equal of any man In gaining tho conlidonco and respect of his followers, and like Leo ho could niako love for his person a substituto for food and clothing when a naked, starving hand was to ho transformed into a light ing host. Hampton carno back to a dosolato home, when he found a fair city laid waste and in ashes by tho ruthless hand of au implacahlo cnomy, and almost tho first words that fell from his lips wore wiso, patient, gent?o counsel to tho emancipated raco that wore around him in poverty, ignoronco and prejudice. 11 is tender, compassionate heart wont out in sympathy for their needs, and ovon unto the last hour of his oxistanco carno welling up from heaving bosom t im falter ing cry: "All | .y people, white and black." WITH BABB FIDELITY. Noolomentof his nature was dooper ingrained than sympathy and affection for tho people whom ho loved and whom ho served with rare fidolity, and it is not difficult to understand tho poignancy of wounds Hint for a timo boro tho impress of alienation from bis person, * * * * South Carolina mado ono of tho grandest contributions to tho spirit of unity and concord as supplantingstrifo and discord In tho person of Wado Hamilton, and in every emergency ho was four.; boaring aloft tho bannor of poaco with tho fidolity which marked bis career when ibo Stars and liars floated abovo him in tho hour of victory. It was his undoubted fitness for tho roscuo of a prostrato and opprossod iStato that led mon to turn with oagor impulso toward him when diro nccossity said that wickodnoBS in high places should no longer niako a pooplo mourn, and it was his calmness, plaoidity and unyielding firmness that drovo back tho marauders mid advonturors, and put to flight an army of parasites and plun derers. His wisdom and discretion woro manifest onovory hand; and tho redemp tion of his down-trodden State becamo tho realization of his greatest ambition. Such a man is great hoyoud tho powor of oulogy, and it is useless to rockon over again tho deeds of Wado Hampton in the iiresenco of voterans who wcro his comrades, and who, without oxcoption. gave to him an unrosorved faith and implicit confidence when his word alono was tho law in South Carolina, though armed soldiers stood sentinel at tho capitol and men fancied wo woro uudor military rulo. It was tho voico of Hampton from tho granito stops of tho capitol that kept tho noaco and stayed tho shedding of blood, and it was his superb conduct on that and other days which brought enduring pcaco to tho land of his hirth. "All finished now that noblo lifo, And ended, too, a toilsomo strifo; Hushed tho voico and stilled tho heart That bravely, horn HO long its pnrt; Finished well, tho talo's comploto, Who can e'or that lifo ropoat?"

Schroder Gives Cook the Information for Some Weeks Ago. Asked Walhalla, August 12.-Editors Courier: Please allow rae spaco to sive Mr. J. A. Cook (is far as possible) the lnforniatiou he asked foi a few weeks sinoe. Ia the outsot will say that it is nest to impossi ble? to give the exact figures, b'it will give them ac near as posslblo at the oloso of the year 1001, and I think this will be satisfactory. In March, 1001, a short whilo after the present Hoard of Commissioners took ohargo of affairs, they haxL-to borrow $1,600.00 to pay oft tho indebtedness of! the county and start out anew for the | year 1001. In April past the Hoard had to borrow $3,200.00 tb pay off old debts and start nnow for 1902. Hut tho in oreaso in borrow is easily accountod for, as tho following table will slum: Expended for Board Equalization.'. Clerk of Court . Sheriff. Magistrates and Constables. Poor House and l'oor.

Then take from the extra $1,700.00 borrowed last April tho $1,104.76 and you will find t> ? tho proBont Hoard has increased the county debt only $606.26. Of tho amount paid for printing last yoar $103.01 of un paid olaims woro brought forward from years 1808 and $1809, and .of tho amount obarged up to 1001 for "Magistrates and Constables" somo fifty dollars woro brought forward from provious years. If Mr. Cook wants to know tho in debtedness t? dato, will say that tho county does not owo anything, for tho lovy for 1002 (which will bo paid in tho falf) will moro than pay olT all claims audited up to this timo. Tho couuty owes to-day $5,000.00 bor rowed monoy. Tho road machino outfit cost about $4,000.00, but this doos not havo to bo paid until Docombor 31st, 1005. Tho now Btool bridgo ovor Koowoe river will cost (Oconoo's part) $1,805.00. This will havo to bo paid by March next if tho work is completed. I trust this information will bo satis factory.

Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood. All the blood in your body passes through your kidneys once every three minutes. The kidneys are your blood purifiers, they fil ter out the w^ste or impurities in the blood. If they are sick or out of order, they fail to do their work. Pains, achesand rheu matism come from ex cess of uric acid in the blood, due to neglected kidney trouble. Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady heart beats, and makes one feel as though they had heart trouble, because the heart is over-working in pumping thick, kidney poisoned blood through veins and arteries. It used to be considered that only urinary troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all constitutional diseases have their begin ning in kidney trouble. If you are sick you can make no mistake by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy ls soon realized, lt stands the highest for Us wonderful cures of the most distressing cases and is sold on its merits by all druggists in fifty cent and one- dollar siz es.
