| 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.

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
