Memorial Day.
The Memorial Association and

The hall had been tastefully deco

were spread witb an abundant and
delightful dinner.. As Uie old sol
diers filed in, a tinv Confederate
fltg was placed in the* button bole
of each, and as they stood around
ihe table Rev. W. I}. Gordon in
voked u bloislng.
Before they began to enjoy the
gaod things provided, the Marshal
of the day, Capt. A- M . Brailsford,
pioposed " I'hrep cheers for tbe la.
dies and a rebel veil," which were
given with a right good will. Tbe
matrons and the young girls vied
with each other to keep plates and
cupg filler!, and all enjoyed the
hour. At the close of the feast Col.
L. C Hough retured thanks to the
Indies, and our new Mavor spoke
words of greeting to tbe soldiers.
At 4 o'clock in tbe afternoou the
procession formed at the gate of
our lovely old "Quaker Burying
Ground." Led by the Kershaw
Guards the two Associations, the
children of the schools and the vet.
erans marched to the Memorial
stand, just in front of which is the
monument to Richard Kirkland,
(then veiled with a huge Confeder

self a veteran, made a prayer, then
the choir sang "Tenting on ,the

Church, Charleston, the worthy son
of Camden's bravest and best loved

have been many fine addresses on
that sacred spot in the last forty
years but none more beautiful and
inspiring than that of Dr. Ker
shaw's. The whole town was gath
ered there and even the little ones
listened intently as he described
the brave deod of young Richard
Kirkland.
At the olose of the address the
monument was unveiled bv Joseph
