(From a pajHtr read by Mrs. Hut her 11. Davis, before t ki?* I'. I >, ('. ( 'hapter, early In it.s history.) My FrlendH : Kvery man in our Con federate service, whether private or of Ileertt, wan a hero in itcrulti valor he roic in privation, heroic in suffering and endurance ami their numcs an* lnscrf1>ed o ntal>l?'ts of marble and bronze all over this country# and en shrined in tlio liea i' I h of a proud and grateful people. ? Among (be martyrs to our I.ost Cause, who died fighting for all tbey beld aaered, it Ih iny privilege to add a tribute to tbree of tbose gallant young men: ('apt. MareuH ltaum, ('apt. James II, Hums an#; Mr. Isaac limns.. Mr. Isaac Burns, tlie youngest of three brothers actively engaged in ser vice, stood firmly at tbe front, defied starvation, suffering and deatb, and gave up bis young life In one of tbe bloodiest battles of over four years war. Shot down on tbe field of Pe tersburgb, Va., be was earrie<l bleed ing and suffering, to a wayside hospi tal, lingered for seven long days, and died away from bome und loved ones, happy in giving bis ull for bin coun try. It is pitiful tbat in tbe rush and hurry of those terrible days, nothing more is kn<Wn of our young heroes. Capt. James II. Hums, with tbe im patience that characterized all of our men in those days, being in Charlotte, N. C., when war was declared, joined immediately a company there, was elected a first lieutenant and when on the bloody Held of Manassas, his cap tain was shot down, he was placed in command and was himself killed lead ing his men to victory or dehth. Iiur led by his comrades In an old field near, he slept In a hero's grave there until peace being declared his remains were brought to Camden and he now lies in our "City of the Dead" ? his name inscribed 011 our roll of honor. Captain Marcus Baum, altho a na tive of Prussia, was an enthusiastic son of his adopted State. When she needed his services, promptly and gallantly answered the first bugle call. 1 Young, handsome and brave, the sterl ing qualities of his nature were Illus trated \jy his brief but glorious ca I reer. Promoted for gallantry 011 the ' Held of battle, he was selected by Gen. Kershaw as his alde^de-camp. Nobly and well did be fjilflll all the ardous and dangerous duties of his position, and in the thickest of the light at the j Hattle of the Wilderness he fell, mor 1 tally wounded. Often have I heard Gen. Kershaw speak in glowing terms ! of his bravery and gallantry. He was burled where he fell, with thousands of other martyrs to the Cause. A beautiful shaft In our cemetery is a fit ting memorial, and from Its silent tes timony we quote: "Ills bones mingle with the dust up on the {ield of Honor, but Ills memory *ls enshrined In the hearts of those who . esteem It a privilege to erect this stone." His glorious death in the defense TO LIVE YOU MUST CONTINUE TO EAT. THAT MEANS THAT YOU MUST HAVE FOOD ALWAYS IN THE HOUSE. WHY NOT BUY THAT FOOD IN LARGE QUAN TITIES AND SAVE MONEY? IT WILL KEEP JUST AS WELL WITH YOU AS IT WILL WITH US. \ We would rather sell you a large quantity and give you a liberal discount than have the ^rouble of hand ling small orders. Think it over ? come in ? get our prices in quantities-? they will astonish you. BRUCE'S The Pure Food Store of Ida adopted country formed a fit ting *?!?**<? to m heroic lift*.

They returned to town when the moon was far In the West, throwing her length ening shadows over the pine-fringed lake. Civic league Meeting. At the Grammar School on Monday afternoon the Civic league held its regular monthly meeting. The attend ance was very good and the memliers seemed full of hope for the perfecting of their plans, and for the realization of their brightest dream.

He read law and taught school at the na in*' thin' ami became an inHiw law yer iii May, 18K7. 1 1*> was elects I to t In* legislature in IMMi, INbs ami link). He wiis elected Speaker of tln? House in Junuary, luoi, ami serv<?d until in* <|iiit tin* House for that time. On his election, one of the leading daily pa I K'rn made the following Comment "In tin* election of Mr. \V. I' Stevenson, of Chesterfield County to tln> >q?cakorship of the house yesterday the exj>eeted him hap IH'ia'd. Tile ox|ic>cted hy tin at least, although I lie result of the vote see ins to have afforded sur* prise in other ipmrters. On the lKtli of last May we sahl, 'AVe have before referred to Mr. Stevenson of Chesterfield County as one Of | the rising men in South Carolina polities. He has all the esseiit ials for success hh his career in tlm House of Ucprescntatlves has shown. For the last two sessions - he lias easily Ihh'H the leader of that liody. * * ? ? He has never Ihhmi defeated in any candidacy. He Is a quick debater with an in eislve manner, and a i>ecullnrly at tractive, although awkward deliv ery.' " The statement that he has never Immmi defeated has to he now qualified, siiu'e lie ran for Attorney (Jeneral in liwrj mid was hoy ten by a small ma jority. The YorkviJle Veoniau sahl iheu that he was being urged then to 1 tin for McLaurln's place and added : "There is no doubt that candi dates for Congress from this the fifth congressional district would feel greatly relieved to see him in the senate." The Port Mill Times of January HO, HM)i, after a visit of its editor to the legislature, said of him : "Tall, slender and loosely made, with a thin crop of sandy hair, a stubby moustache of the same hue and a head thkt a p| tears none too large, one is not apt to guess .the ability of this remarkable mini. Hi all South Carolina he is i>er haps the most forceful s{>eaker and debater, with inniiaps one ex ception, and his elevation to the speakership was due solely to the recognition of his ability." So now having left the incumbent quietly In oltice for sixteen years he asks for the opportunity to serve liis State and the Nation as, a loyal lieut enant of Wood row Wilson. Having in four years reached the toy in the House of Representatives and having also develojied and shown increased ability in the subsequent years, both legal and legislative, we ask why he should not be given an op portunity to do the same in the House of Representatives at Washington? As a mail says, who has been present at every session of every legislature since 11HX1 tind knows Mr. Stevenson and the other public men of the State from personal acquaintance and observa tion, "He will put the fifth district on the map." Look out for a continuance of this story next week. ? Advertisement. Appointment of Missionaries.

Dainty refresh ments we^e served and the evening will long remain a pleasant memory to the class of '14. Morflson-Sftmpson.
