Tribute l*at<l to Three Mitrtyrft to the
l<oht CautM).
(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.

oil the shore, and last, hut not least, a

WHO IS W. F. STEVENSON?
Mr. W. P. Stevwiisou is running for
CofiKivN^ In the l-'i fill Hlwtriet. Mont
iicwHpa|HT readers know something
about him, hut lit' Iims lioen u busy
man mid Ills contact with tin* district
has not given tin* |hh>i?J? of tin* district
tin' Intimate knowledge of litin that
the> should have. N\" ? ? pro|H?se in a j
few articles to <|o this
He was raised on a farm and worked
ill the field oh ch year until In* entered
college at tin* aK?* of oIkIiUhmi. 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.
