Evins was in the 00th year ot' his age. and was a son of the late Matthew Patlon Evins, a prominent citizen of Laurens County, S. C., where he was born and spent his boyhood days. He was educated at Davidson College, from which he graduated with the hist honors of his class.

C., March 21st, 18!?). To the officers and members of Robert E. Lee Chapter, United Daughters of the Confederacy, Anderson, S. C. : The Veterans of Camp Stephen D. Lee desire to express their hearty ap preciation of the handsome contribu tion made by you for the fund for the Reunion in Charleston. During the long trying months of the war, and especially as" those months lengthened into weary years; it was the brave, cheerful, tireless help of the mothers of our Southland that inspired our armies to endure with fortitude the many hardships we encountered. When the war was over it was the women who taught us first to resume our duties with cheerfulness. Many of our com rades had fallen, and lay in neglected, unmarked graves, while we were almost too broken to do them honor, but you and j our mothers took up the loving task, and while too poor to raise monuments, decorated their graves with spring flowers and tears. Soon, with returning prosperity, aye, even before it returned, you began to raise monuments to those heroes of a Lost Cause, and in your hearts we are as sured that the sacrifices of the Confed erate soldier will be cherished and remembered, and that to future gene rations you will transmit that undying principle of liberty for which we fought, and thc sentiment and romance of the Old South, which we esteem more precious than the triumph of those who fought us. 1\ M.
