Kennedy who served the church a hundred years ago, Rev. Z. L. Holmes who was pastor before and after the Civil war, Dr. W\ P. Jacobs who served during that war, and Dr. W. S. Bean who served in recent years—all these will be recalled to honored and precious memory. Dr. Mack Kennedy of Spartanburg, Gus A. Holmes of Laurens, William P.

To this happy union eight children were born. the community. The followers of Lee, four sons and four daughters, and and Jackson, the few surviving mem bers of the thin Gray line, hold the respect and love of the community, and it is therefore a pleasure to The Chronicle to carry from time to time, these sketches of their lives and ac tivities. Tandy F. Milam, affectionately known by many as “Uncle Tandy," belongs to the community's roll of veterans. He was bom Dec. 15, 1847, three miles west of Clinton. His pa- rents were Henry Milam and Jane Milam and his boyhood days were spent on the farm with his father and mother. Still in his early ’teens, he moved to a farm on Musgrove road three miles north of Clinton. He was educated in the old field schools, and like his comrades of that period, his opportunity for an education was quite limited. At the age of only 16 years, in 1864, Mr. Milam enlisted in Co.

The organiza tion work in the other states will be undertaken as soon as the committee has gotten well under way with its work in this state, he said. “We want to sell the people of South Carolina and of. the South on the idea of using cotton goods and cotton products wherever and when ever possible," said Dr. Stackhouse. **We all ought to have been making the fullest possible use of these pro ducts all along because of their purity and their quality ana because they are home products. terian churches and to other denomi nations. Through the zeal of Mrs. Emma Glenn of Spartanburg, and the de help of her son, Dr. John Glenn, the building has been renovat ed. It has been repaired throughout. D. D. Little of Spartanburg and Mrs. Margaret Kelly of Clinton, by their large gifts made the restoration pos sible. There have been many others, especially the present members and officere, who have given time, money and personal work to have such a fine old edifice as now stands. The road from the Musgrove high way to the church is in good condi tion and will be passable except in a long wet season. The road has been repaired recently by Supervisor Watts.
