HEROE'S GRAVE. < i Somo Further Data Regarding Rov- < olutionary Hero Buried On t Stato House Grounds. I ' | Columbia Record. i Much general curiosity is again j aroused to know something of the I history and connections ol the Revo- i Jut-ionnrv soldier, (lie dust of whoso i bones reposes i;i a lone grave on tlio 1 South Carolina capilol grounds. The < grave, as staled in The l?eeord the other day. is thai of ('apt. Swanson Lunsford, a native of Virginia, evidently a man of some distinction in his time, hut even the well informed secretary of the st:ite historical commission, Mr. A. S. Sal ley, is puzzled j to know who ('apt. S. Lunsford was or why he was huried in the stale house grounds. The headstone and oilier paraph or- : nalia marking this mysterious grave | have been removed by I ho legislative . eoinuiision havin gin ei.ar-je of thv? work ol remodeling the grounds, and | this has given rise. lo -nine appie- i heiisio i Ih:it 'lie grave ha- been obli- | tcrated. Captain laiusford. accord- , ing to tin- meagre scrap of a newspa- .. per clipping that contains all of the information that can lie obtained of' him outside ol iho inseriptio:i on the headstone, was at one time a prominent citizen of Columbia.

It is certain that Captain Lunsford never owned the piece of ground in question, as Ihe old stale house was ? completed ten years 'before he died. ,s In I iNtithe state.acquired four square miles of land, on which the city of Columbia was susoqucnl ly built.
