' ] TKIRUTK TO DKAD SOLDI Kit. | Editor Herald:-?I hand to you a : brief note for publication, as I see the honor paid to one of the boys that left his father's home and went with ; many of our other boys to the world j war and paid the debt that we might be a safe people- Lonnte i'roctor was born August 4, 1895, was wounded October 17, 1918, and died in a base hospital October 18, tlie day follow1 ing. His remains reached home April 6th and were buried a*t Little ltock April 7th, 1921- The honor of the ! family and the honor given the memory of the young soldier was one of sublime beauty. How well the father, mother, brothers and sisters held up under their burden of sor: row. I send for publication the last request of a South Carolina volunteer as I think it appropriate just at |tliis time- We hope this may be uplifting to many a loved one. Lonnte never was away from his mother two nights at a time until he 'went to the war. He added to his name the word power. O C. Hayes. THE LAST REQUEST. The following lines were found 'upon the body of a South Carolina I volunteer after he was killed at Dranesville, Va., December 20th, J1S61I Oh, carry me back to my own loved Carolina shore. If on the battle field I fall. oh. take me home once more; For I would silently rest beneath the bright blue sky. With her gteen sod on my youthful breast, there let me lie. Oh. boys, carry mo bark when the bloody strife is o'er And a mother dear with a groatfnl tear will bless you o\erinor? ; I know that you will not forget a brother's last request. And if there he one comrade spare,) h?*Tl take nte home to rest 'And toll the loved ones there, the moaning household band. ,To meet me on the th" blissful shore of the bright spirit land. Oh, boys, carry me back, carry tne if I die; Carry tne home, no mot'oto roam, there only I lie; I had a dream last night so full of bliss. M> mother's hand was on my brow, I felt a sister's kiss. II gazed on Po? Dee's stream an?| the old moss covered mill, .The wooden seat beneath the tree the cottage on the hill. Oh boys carry me there in the sight of our mountains blue; In my native town there lay me down 'tis all I ask of you; I saw too in my dream a maiden young and fair. A gentle loving girl was she with sunny golden hair, 'She wag seated by my side and whispered vows of love, # Though she may never be my bride still we may meet above; Oh boys carry me back there only would I sleep And the maiden fair with the golden hair over the soldier's grave will weep. Thi3 is a noble state and gentl ? hearts are here To whisper kind and cheering words to tho stranger volunteer. But if on Virginia's soil I fall to rise no more, Carry me back to my own loved Carolina shore. Oh boys carry me back I'll ask no marble tomb, iBut lay me down in the sacred ground of my own dear mountain home. There is a lovely seat in the <iuiet churchyard shade Beneath tall spreading oaks where I've oft' i:i my boyhood stayed; There the deep tones of the organ fall gentle on the In the stillness of the Sabbath moon from the old church standing near; Oh boys lay me there when my youthful course is'run, I That a mother dear may shed a tear| o'er the grave of her only son. o A THIEF IN THE NKJHT. (Written by a 13 year old Dillon girl) Rebecca was all alone that nightHer father and mother had gone to a nearby village. "We will be back before night if nothing happens." said her father when he left. And now she was alone. Night was near i and it wa? raining. Once she thought I of going to her friend's home, Elean-! or King. But what if her father and : mother should come while she was gone?" and besides, she thought "I can't go when it is raining so." Just1 then the roar of carriage wheels J brought her to the dooc. But. alas' i it was not her father. A young man, finely dressed, approached the door. "I am your cousin." he said as he met her," have you never heard of me?" "No," she replied, "I have never heard my father or mother speak ol you" Rebecca led the stranger into the house. They had been sitting in silence by the fire when he suddenly said: "If you please I will have my supper and then I will retire." They went into the kitchen to eat supper, when he said:" "Where is your father and mother?" "They have gone to the village but I fear they will not return," she replied. After eating they both retired. Rebecca, however, was soon wakened by someone waiKing overhead. She thought it strange that ho should be walking around. Presently, with n rush down the stairs, the stranger jumped into the carriage and dashed away. It was plain now to Rebecca that the stranger was a burglar. "He must have taken mother's jewclery." Kcbecca dressed and went upstair as quickly as she could. As she enterted the room she saw th0 chest upon and sure enough A diamond neclace, together with her mother'8 weeding ring and other Jewelery wero gone. Rebecca rushed out of the house and ran to the house of her friend, which was a mile away, to get help As j THURSDAY MORMNT., APRIL II, 19'.
