THE BANQUET-BARBECUE
BY SPANISH-AMERICAN VET
A Good Turn Out of Survivors at th
Enjoyable Occasion?The Absence
cf Capt. Langfortl and
Lieut. Stewart Regretted.
It was our intention to have a fu
account of this pleasant affair i
Friday's issue of The Herald an
News, but Thursday afternoon bein
- 1 -P- -.t- -
press time, ana mom uie ?uimc
fact that the edition had to get ou
of the way for the Observer to b
printed on our press, owing to th
breakdown in that office, we wer
compelled to be content with a brie
notice. We came direct from th
"banquet hall"' (Mr. Mike Counts
barbecue ground) loaded with goo
intentions and hasn ana tnings, ou
the foreman of the shop said "no
another line of copy must be hande
in," and as the foreman's word goe
at such times there was "nothing dc

If you read Friday's paper?and o
course you did?*you remember tha
surviving members of Co. B, Firs
South Carolina infantry, of th
Spanish-American war, gave a barbe
cue on Thursday afternoon unde
Mr. J. M. Counts' shed. The com
ljittee?W. W. Farrow, P. D. John
son and T. G. Williams?tried to ge
in communication with each survivo
so as to have him present, most o

The above nineteen constituted th<
body present at the banquet. - An
other surviving member of the com
pany* Robert L. Cockrell, now of Co
lamina, arrived top late ior tne ie*
thrives, to the regret of his formei
comrades.
. It being strictly a gathering oi
ex-soldiers of the Spanish-Americai
war from this territory, there were
no invited guests around the boarc
other than Dr. E. C. Jones, represent
ing his son George, a deceased mem
ber of the company; Mr. G. B. Summer,
representing his nephew, Johr
M. Kinard, who died in camp; Col
E. H. Aull, the guest of honor; Mr
Eiller and the reporter, "war cor|2
spondent in time of peace."
You have already been told hov
firood the barbecue was, cooked ir
Mr. Counts' best style. We mgst ad<
that ladies and girls waited on th<
table, which gave the mutton, pork
etc., a better taste. They even ha<
ice cream and cake for "the here
after." Mr. Farrow was master o:
v ceremonies and Dr. Jones said grac<
in an impressive manner. After i
great deal of the table's content
had disappeared from view, owing t<
the capacities of big and little eaters
eigars wer^ handed around and "tb
smoker** was on. Dr. Jones spoki
very feelingly and touchingly ii
memory of his absent boy now oi
the other shores There were no se
' - ? ?j
speecnes; no one was ca^icu u
speak except Col. Aull, the orator o'
the day. Chairman Farrow said t
few pleasant and bright words as t<
how glad they all were to be togeth
er on this occasion, and how we al
had enjoyed the fine spread. Hi
introduced Col. Aull, who, in re
, sponse to repeated calls, made a fe\
remarks in his usual happy mannei
He felicitated the members of th<
company on this happy occasion am
commended the fine spirit of Captaii
Langford which prompted him t<

the good fellowship which resuitei
{from gathering around the sainboard
in such friendly social rela
tions, and said it was good for all o
v us to get together more and to kncv
each other better, and that these oc
casions were helpful in bringing
about more kindly feelings and thi
good fellowship was worth man:
times the cost. He also spoke of th<

resurts oi iuc
and how it had helped to liberate an<
uplift the people of our neighboring
islands across the* gulf. Col Aull'i
remarks were received with heart?
applause.
At the conclusion of Col. AulP
talk, Mr. Farrow read a letter fron
W. S. Langford, former captain o
the company, and a telegram fron
Thos. O. Stewart, former lieutenant
both of whom sent words of regre
at their unavoidable absence, am
greetings- to their old comrades

f i It appears that the state legisla
t ture made provision for a bridge to i
it be built over Broad river, at a point
e; advantageous to Newberry and FairJ-1
field counties, and each of these
r | counties provided under certain con- c
i- J ditions to vote bonds to the amount 1:
i-jof $35,000 for the bridge, with the S
? 'understanding that the United States
r government would furnish half of the "v
f money required. In order to take I
? _ advantage of the plan of government c
j aid, it was necessary for the bill to I
.'provide that the state highway com- c

- such provision was made, but there o
i,iwas a common understanding, voiced h
; by one member of the then state s

i should be at Clayton or at a point t
. further down the river. The state f
j engineer, however, has located the b
5; bridge at Smith's ferry, which is ten r
-J or 12 miles above Clayton, and en
jtirely beyond the boundaries of New- tl
