At Seven Pines there is a National Cemetery, beautifully kept, spread with a verdant carpet, and each grave glHtflV ing with a marker of polished marble, over which in their majestic beauty Seven Pines are waving their ever-lasting green. The best blood of the South had flowed in those cross-roads. We lost thousands of men and many of our most gallant (iflictMs. but there was nothing to mark Confederate valor.

The pleasures of the af ternoon included games at home, a visit 'to tlio Majestic Theatre and last, but b.v^uo meaus least to the youthful par ticipants a visit to the Ice creaiu par ulor where delicious oake and cream were served. They went home in the late twilight "Their eyes as slurs of twilight fair, Like twilights too, their bonnie hair, But all things else about them draw-n From May-time and the cheerful dawn." EXERCISES AT THE CEMETERY Surely the old Quaker cemetery was never more beautiful than on Memorial ftftbrnoon in 1919. It was a wilderness of bloom, redolent of .the perfumes of many flowers and especially beautified by the. queenly magnolia. Bnobled by the .presence of the live oak, that mon arch of the Southern forest, while the groat storm of war that had convulsed the land seemed to- be hushed by the gentle sghing of the pines fanned by the soft breezes from the South. The <?tand was beautifully decorated for the oneasion in white and red. But the "wtarry cross" mingled its folds with Old (J lory showing fidelity to Confed erate traditions and loyalty to our re united country. Dr. Daniels of the Methodist Chiyrch opened the exercises with prayer and Mr. 1 1. A. Wittkowsky in a short but stirring address introduced the speaker < f the afternoon, Dr. Edwin Muller. Perhaps no address delivered from that stand received more geni^ine applause and admiration than did Dr. Mullet's. It was patriotic, timely scholarly and eloquent, Mhjs Nettles then told of the desire of the Daughters of the Confed eracy to remove from oblivion the story of the Confederate Navy, and that the organization .throughout the length and breadth of the Southland was offering ?medals for compositions .on that sub ~JeeF." T/ftst spring the Jotm D. Kennedy chapter offered a medal for the best essay on the Confederate Navy to be com peted for by the schools of Kershaw County. The committee after reading nnd re-reading each composition decided in favor of the one written by^.- Mr. George Wittkowsky, and he was de clared the medal wwner. Miss Wilbur MtiCallUm followed as a close second and Miss Hannah Lazarrus deserved hon orable mention. Mr. George Wittkowsky wa's then called to the stiand and read his composition. It showed good style efficiency, and research work that will be of much value to the organization. The exercises were closed with prayer T>y The "Rer. F. TT, TTardinf. rector of Grace Church. - ?
