John II. t4|rnves and "I>ixle" sung by the ehll ?dren, Major E. C. vc*iTm?ckOW intro dui'ed the speaker, Hon. L. T. Mills. Mr. Mills address was in every resi>eot on* that did him honor, and one that strongly appealed to his large audience, it Wiis happily eliown ? and while de pleting the intense i*i< riot ism of U)o South, and especially that of our State And county, iu that mighty struggle, and the sacrifices brought for love of oountry, withall U was dignified, and free from that jargon of the so-callod '.'popular memorial day oration," which plays mostly on tlxe passions and pre judices of an assemblage. ' When the applause died away at the conclusion of the address, Mr. Mills was surrounded by number* of people, who warmly expressed their (appre ciation. After the closing prayer by Rev. Jno. A. Davison, the Kershaw Guards marched to the graves of the unknown Confederate dead, and tired a salute of three volleys, followed by "taps." Then General Moore and Major K.

The election for Captain of the Ker shaw Guards will take place shortly, as soon as Colonel E. M. Blythe issues the necessary orders. The Dinner By The Ladies. The armory of the Kershaw Guards was beautifully decorated in greens, and gracefully festooned with white and red bunting while the "Starry Cross," the much loved flag of the Confederacy, unfurled its tattered folds once again to the admiring eyes of the old soldiers, the men who fol j lowed Lee and Jackson, and with ib right eyes and elastic step made up the long lines of gray. Each one was an honor guest to the John D. Kenne dy Chapter U. D. C., who served them a sumptuous dinner. Mayor Yates in H few well chosen remarks^ welcomed them in behalf of the city, and Mr. W. F. Russell, in a 'very happy manner,! responded for the veterans. General ) Moore, who was a guest of the occa sion, was called upon for a speech and gracefully responded. The Rev. W. B. Gordon, D. D., a veteran, was next called for and captured the audience with his address which, was sparkling with wit and humor. Mr. Gordon pro-, posed a toast to "the Daughters of the O&rtederaey," and every man 111 >fche hall was on his feet In an Instant^ and drained their glasses of pure, spark W& water.

After the reunion around the festive board, the veterans by the courtesy of Mr. Little, enjoyed the "movies" at the Majestic theatre. 9~ At the cemetery in the afternoon un der the splendid leadership of Mrs. L.

The business before the body was that of tJhe payment of Aud itor C. L. Vann, for auditing the books of the county officers ordered by a recent grand Jury. Mr. Vann was I present and was demanding payment J for his services. On the other hand thp County does not see that it has the right to pay the bill, since the work 'haw never been completed. In Auditor Vann's report to the grand Jury he stated that the Sheriff and several of the Magistrates of the coun ty had refused to turn over their books to htlm to be audited. The coun ty takes the position that the work has never been completed ' and tluit they have no right to pay tftvo account. It was finally decided that the County fcttomey would take the matter before J a circuit Judge and let him rendor nn opinion In the matter before the money is paid Over. Strong Man Here.
