ADJUTAVT U. C. Y.'s. Sheriff Buford Succeeds Col. 0. L. Schumpert as Adjutant James D. Nance Camp. Sheriff M. M. Buford has been ap pointed by Commander J. W. Gary and First Lieutenant J. F. J. Caldwell, ad jutant of the James D. Nance camp, No. 336, United Confederate veterans, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of the late lamented Col. 0. L. Schum pert. Sheriff Buford has been a devoted member of the camp since its organiza AV tion. He always attends both the State and the general reunions, and has been active in the work of the vet erans since its inception. Sheriff Buford enlisted when he was 16 years of age. He was a meinber of Company K, 5th South Carolina Cav alr7, which was a part of General M. C. Butler's old brigade. He served un til the end of the war, but he and his company, as did General Hampton and a number of others who were with General- Jahnsto'ns army, came home without surrendering. .-On the 18th of April, 1865, nine days after Lee's surrender at Appomattox, when Johnstons Con-ederate army and Sherman's Union army were facing in North Carolina, and the articles of surrender were under consideration, Sheriff Buford accompanied General Johnston, General Hampton and G-en al Breckenridge to an old farm house niear Durham, where the consultation was hield. About a year ago while in North Carolina Shiriff Buford saw this same old house. The terms of surren der were not agreed upon at .that time, and later, either on the 23rd or 24th, aSheriff Buforid was detailed to accom pany 0o1. Lwndes, now of Charles ton, who -was chief of Hampton's staff, sand who was the medium of ai further exchange of communication with Sher man. The articles of surren~der were agreed upon at that time, and the surrender came on April 26. Sheriff Buford again met Col. Loindes at the funeral of the Great Hampton in Co lumbia early in thiel year 1902-after -a lapse of thirty-seven years. 'These 'eterans of the great war are ,fast passing away. It is sad to reflect that ei the seventtee~n delegates to the' ge,neral reunion in New Orleans in 1903, nine have answered the last roll call, and the same number of the twenty delegates to the State reunion that year have passed mwy.
