Mr. Peterson Says He Did Not In. tend to Wonud or Irritate-Only Wanted Flags and Facts. To the Editor of The Herald and N_ws: I have read the statement of ]s. J. A. Burton. The spirt of com Tbdeship is strong, but the colors' of tte old company are very dear to tlose who saw service. Only those C our comrades can appreciate our -eelings. Those colors do not belong to the family of any individual mem ber of the company, livng or dead; and the plan was to let them be handed down to the keeping in trust to the survivors of our company ac cording to rank. We had afterwards decided, however, to place them in the Telic rooms in Columbia. It was with that in view when the survivors un dertok to get possession of them and we thought the successful plan, after I had failed to secure them, would be through the Daughters, but in my letter requesting the Daughters to se cure them I stated that "we will form ally turn them over to the U. D. C. XMemorial day." And we did not in -tend they should be turned over "in behalf of the family" of any member of the company. I saw the program published and read where it said "Presentation of flags," but none of the survivors of Company B thought for a moment it referred to our old flags because we had not been noti fied that they had been received by e Daughters, If we hid konwn it would have 'een present. Un nately we are not mind readers we did not think the Daughters request their presentation ut some notice to some survivor e company. e survivors want the flags plac n the relic rooms, but want the t and true history to accom them. That is all. to Dr. Cromer's statement I am tive that my memory is not at lt. "This matter has not been dis ssed from my mind," as it has from e mind of Dr. Cromer, and I know the statement I made of the con ersation with Dr. Cromer to secure e flags is absolutely correct in ev ery particular, his statement to th, ntra,7 notwithstanding. *Mrs.4 Connor turned the flags over o Mr.2 Speers the day Captain Con or ws buried. It was two or three eek.. after the burial of Mr. Speers ed I. mentioned to a mutual friend k him to get the flags that they t be placed In trust in keeping of enext ranking survivor, Mr. E. P. Bradley, as had been agreed upon by the survivors, Mr. Speers himself be 9Ing one. There was nothing in that to annoy or Irritate. I have no desire to wound the feel ings of anyone and would not have gone in the newspaper at all but for the publicatioli of an incorrect state ment which wounded the feelings of all the survivors of +%.t old company. I did not take the initiative in rush -ing into print I only did so to keep the record straip'ht. That is all. As to the venom and -poisom and slur at me pe-'nally in the doctor's closing par'~rar" I will let that pass, for like many otbers who were not old enough to. bear arms and to fol low the flags, h"" can not appreciate boW dear and near to the veterans . this old company's banners are, and can not, therefore, appreciate our -feelings. I regret this newspaper contro versy as much as anyonne. My main 'purpose was to place these flags in the custody of their rightful owner~s. That has been accomplished. f ur purpose now is to have them placed along with other relics of that great struggle in the capitol building at Co lumbia and to have piaced along with them their true history. Not to wound or irritate. No, no, not that. This ends the newspaper controversy so far as I am cocrnn W. G. Peterson. That's Different S"Goodnight, my" boy, and remember that in givng myi' daughter to you I am parting with my dearest treasure." "Thanks. from the bottom of my heart. Tht say-t" e cars are running an ho"" r.part at this time of the night. Can I bo-row your machine to go homne in?" I should say not, young man.i THE EPWORTH LEAGUE. Meets In Newberry This Week.-Som thing of its Work, Alms and Purposes. (By Chas. I. Gaillard). Several hundred, not less than tN and possibly three hundred of t leading young people of the Metho ist church in South Carolina w gather here to attend their annu Epworth League conference th week. For the benefit of those readers. this paper who do not know what Epworth league is (or is intended be) I will outline its work and pl. of organization. It is an organiz tion organized for ; and compos chiefly of the young people of tl Methodist church, however, a lar number of the older people of tl church are members and also a nui ber of young people of other denon Chas. . Gaillard. nations are members. Its objects are primarily to get t young people out of the church i terested in and- members of t church and to train and fit those w are members of the church for mo useful and active service in t church. In addition to this or' rath as a fact of its .work in accomplis ing the above ends it does a good de of charity, social and *missiona work. To do this work most effectively is divided into four divisions or d partients. Each department has vice-president who, with a committ( has charge of the work of that d partment. The first department is the "dev tional," 'd as its name indicat( conducts the prayer meetings and religous services; of the league. The second. department is tl "charity and help" department, a) also does local charity work,'vs the sick, helps the orphanage a: any other charity work they choo to do. The third department is t] "social and literary," and arrang for various social and literary mee ings (at least one a month is requi ed) for the en.joyment and profit the league members. The fourth department is th'e "mi sionary." Under its direction ini sion study classes are conducte missionary programs arranged, ai various other mission work done bo locally and in the interest of foreig missions. The conference that is to ,be he here this week beginning Thursd evening will no doubt be one of t] largest attended. most enthusiast and best conference that has ev Ibeen. held in this State. There a several reasons for this, one is b cause of its being held in Newberi which is centerally located, and all its well known reputation as a fi: convention city, where its visitors a lavishly entertained.. Another is ti conference has been well advertisi (much more so than any previo, conference) both in the religious a) secular newspapers. Then probab the greatest reason is because 12 'Howard, our president, has gotteni by far the best program that the co ference has had in several years. Dr. DuBose for 12 years gener secretary of the Epworth league w be the principal speaker, but a nux ber .of other splendid speakers a) leaguers will take part in the spea ing of this, a great conference. Among these may be mentioned I Duncan. presiding elder of Greenvil district, Rev. J. C. Roper, presidir elder Cokesbury district, and e president State league, Dr. E. 0. Wa son, of Columbia, for five years Sta league president, Rev. P. B. Wel: Anderson. president State leagi board; Rev. R. S. Truesdale, of Spa tanburg; Miss Annie Bell Willian of Charleston, and a graduate of tl State officers and prominent leaguer from different parts of the State. . e- The music of the conference wil be a great feature as it will be led b: Prof. Arthur L. Manchester, directo; of music of Converse college, Spar tanburg. ro ie SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION. d ill Program of County Interdenomina al tional Sunday School Convention is to be Held in July. of Following is the program of the in tn terdenominational Sunday Schoc to convention to be held July 21-22: tn Thursday. a- 10.30: Devotional exercises-Rev md G.

Last Friday a young white man was attracting attention along Main street from the depot, as he was handeuffed *and bound with a rope, one end of the rope being held by a man who: accompanied him. Those who saw the couple naturally supposed the young man had committed a great crime and was being brought in by some officer of the law. The man carried his prisoner to the sheriff's office and turned him over to Sheriff Buford. The prisoner was Simp San - ders, who is no stranger to Newberry jail, as he has been there before, first Swith John and Frank Crouch, and again upon his recapture after escap ing with John Crouch, all of which Is too familiar to need repetition here. Suffice it to say that after his recom -mitment by Sheriff Buford, some time ago when Sanders was caught while .visiting his wife in Union, he was re leased on bond by his father-in-law. Since then Sanders has been getting into more trouble, it is said, and hie, father-in-law had him brought to Newberry, making sure of not losing the $300 whiich had been de posited for the prisoner's' appearance at court. So Simp Sanders again re mjoins the . Messrs. Crouch, Frank, who was asleep when his two pals escap .ed, and John, who didn't want to re turn with Sheriff Buford from Lynch burg because he wanted to marry Simp took his promenade up Main istreet well, and wore a smile which - broadened into a laugh when he met the sheriff in his office and began chatting with him as though he was on a pleasant visit. Maybe he feels sure of being acquitted of the charge of having robbed his Syrian brother in-law, Bob Ammon. But be that as it may, no doubt Simp and John had much of interest to tell each other of the~ir trasels and doings since their TO SERVE LUNCH.

West End on Saturday iternoon scored its fifth victory in as many games by defeating the: Clinton team in Clinton, the result being 4 to 3. The latter part of the game was very ex citing, with the score 4 to 0, Clinton began her run-getting in the eighth, and made the score 4 to 3 before thd' Newberrians could stop. them. Waldrop, pitching for West End, was invincible up to the seventh, not a -hit being secured off his delivery until the seventh inning. He let up at that time, however, and in the seventh and eighth three hits were secured by the Clintonites. In the ninth, with two men on bases, he struck out two, and threw the third. man out at first, retiring the side.. Riddle, for Clinton, also did effective work in the box,, allowing only three hits, and striking out seven. Wicker, for Newberry, carried off 1 the batting honors of the day, his three-bagger to deep centre in the first inning, with three men on bases, being .responsible for Newberry's scores. Having brought in the three runners, he himself scored on an er ror. This wound up West End's run-1 getting for the entire game. Smith on third played a perfect fielding game for Newberry, accepting every chance that came his way, and some that did not. His fielding in several instances bordered on the sensational. Wessinger put up a good game at short for the locals. Hammett. was the heavy-hitter for ~ Clinton, his long hit in the seventh ~ apparently being responsible for the ~ rally of his team in the seventh and eighth. These teams will pull off two games 1 in Newberry the last of this week, I playing one at College park on Fri day afternoon at 4.15, and the other at West End park on Saturday after noon at the same hour. Eidson will be sent to the. mound for Newberry, and Bailey will twirl for the 'visitors on Friday. These are two of the best amateur pitchers in the State, and it is needless to say that they will make the game interesting. The score of last Saturday's game was as follows: Newberry. . .400 000 000-4 3 5 Clinton. . . .000 000 030-3 3 -4 Batteries: Waldrop and McCall; Riddle and Campbell. Base on balls, Waldrop 1, Riddle 2. Struck out, Waldrop 9, Riddle 7. Passed balls, McCall 2, Campbell 2. Time, 1.50. Urn pire, Franks. A Test of Enowledge.
