Mrs. Henrietta T. Myers, assembled at the
hospitable home of Mr. C. U. Mveis, her

It. has never been my pleasure to attend
a more ehjoyable occasion. The day was
an ideal on^ and every one of the largo
gathering, consisting of over two hundred
persons, seemed to enlyr into the spirit of
the occasion.
It was u most inspiring scene to witness
the aged lady, now resting sweetly and
j?encoably in the e>enin? of a long and
faithful life, surrounded by her vast con
course of friends and relatives?men and

after which ho introduced the'Hon. W. D.

I >?m watching wwi a groat deal of

Tho old town must indoed bo ad

I low strange it sceius to in? to
read of tl e. numerous cotton and oth

in old South Carolina -and what a
blessing it is to I or pr?oj??o. fur with
on' doubt many of ht;r people are
erop'oyed and given a maintenance,
who otherwise would be idle and
paupers. Ildv woll as a boy, do I
ieiuember when the first factory at
Uio pond within sight of my boyhood
liumo was burnt. Not long ago, 1
met a young man who was born and
raised in old Camden, He told uio
that, I ought to go there now, for
money could bo made there now. It
seemed when I thought of it, what a
turn the wheel of fortune hail made,
when I contrasted i' with the sleepy
old town of boyhood days, but with
it caiue a Bad thought, that tho old
generation were gone, and this was
the new. Old ?Camden in tho past
gave soino noble men to tho conn
try, who took no back seat, but wcro
strong in tlio counsels of state and
nation.
Now Mr. Editor, a wyd in refer
ence to ono of your candidates tor
Auditor?W. F. Russell. 1'dd Hus
soil known to main tho ranks of the
lost cause, was a good fellow and a
good soldier and is worthy of the
confidence of bin people, lie was
uqu of ihoM?> young Im>vh wli<? offered
on the altar of homo and country-?
life to defend her. hcnce now, in the
decline of years o?r people* should
not forget that these are the times
when they can show their approcia
lion of that sacrificial offering.
I note iM your columns a letter
from a liW4o tot. There ia a spirit of
thought in it, which is contra to the
South, it *??)uld seem as if thofle
though ts/X^ ore cither drawn
from reading or teaching,
hut it in a small wriy rIiowr what
such teaching would lead to. Mr.
1Mitor, as I belong to a generation
that is parsing away, yet do yon
know when 1 nee such thoughts ex
pieased evon by the little tots il
brings a pang, for in it ia tho deatli
blow to that freedom and indepen
dence which is ao dear to tho Amer

iziner. Let lis turn our thoughts to
tho future and hope for the best,
leaving the past behind ns. We can
