There are a number of low-down

Confederate Vftrrnns Honored.
A few months 11:40 nt 11 special
Vvtiug of the Fort Mill chapter.
United Daughters of the Uor.fr 1erary,
a resolution was adopted
pledging the chapter to pres. nt ;i
cros6of honor to every Cotifech rate
veteran in this township, as a token
of the esteem in which they are
held for their service i; 1 behalf ? 1
the Lost Cause, as soon as the
necessary money could be raised
with which to buy the en ssi s.
Since that meeting every member
of the chapter has labored untiringly
in the interest of the undertaking.
M onday afternoon witnessed
the consummation of th 'ir
efforts and there are now half a
hundred veterans in this ruiinuu
nily wearing on the lapel of their
coats a badge of honor which is
prized ns are the decorations of
sovereigns in the old world.
On the face of the cr >ss of h n >r.
which is made t)f hron/. '. pretty in
design, and about - ineht s long
by 1 inch in width,is the (knifed
erato bnttle-flng. surrounded by a
laurel wreath, with the inscription,
"Cross of Honor;" on the reverse,
the motto of t he Confederate States.
"Deo Yindice (God our vindicator).
18<?1?with the ins -riptioti,
"From the I". D. <'. to the I *. t\
The cross is pendant from a small
bronze bar, containing a pan 1 in
which the name of the vt to ran and
his command can bo engraved.
The exercises incident to the
presentation of the cresses b nan
by the local camp of ('onfederate
veterans brinn called to e.rder by
the commander, Mr. A. S. White.
After a touching prayer by Kev.
Mr. Stouj^h, of Pineville, N. a
trained chorus of seven boys and
ei^ht f^irls, most of whom were
cither the children or grandchildren
of Confederate veterans, sano
two verses of "Carolina" and the
"Bonnie Blue Flan-" Then the
chorus and audience joined in
sinoino |)ixie;" and the spirit in
which it was siiii^ was ? noti<_rh to
make every Southern heart n<> out
in love and veneration for the
heroes who thirty-five years njjo
ottered their all njmi the altar of
the same "Dixit " of whit h we today
delight to hear in b lh sonrc
?nd story. The next feature of
the exercises was the reading, hy
