The fnlowintc resolution wits intro duced at the business meeting of the Veterans here last week by Col. M. M. 'Bnford, of Newberry, S. C. ; "Whereas, it Is known to iluv sur viving soldiers of the Confederate States of America, from ihtsojmI ob servation and experience. tha| the ne gro servants of soldiers in tin' field were, with few exception*, faithful to their masters, or employers ? while so J serving, and "Whereas, such servants shared in nil the hardships incident to the life of thei soldier, notwithstanding tin- many j temptations and opj>ort.unitles to de scrt their employment. and "Whereas, many, of such servants i readily encountered peril of their lives in caring for their masters or employ ers. and "Whereas. It becomes the |H>ople of ; the South to care for the survivors among such faithful servants. "Therefore, la? it Resolved. by the United Confederate Veterans of South Carolina in reunion assembled that such faithful services should be recog nized and rewarded, and that pensions for surviving faithful negro servants in the armies should be awarded ac cording to the merit and vnjue of ser vice rendered. i Camden's Hospitality. The entertainment of the old sol diers by Camden was fine. It may be equalled, but not surpassed. At the homes, on the streets and at the tables the same kind and courteous treat ment wa^ show byiftll. At the tables the ladles were most attentive- to them, leaving nothing undone. This kind attention -was greatly appreciated by the old boys and they arc loud lu their praises of - kindness received and the hearty welcome accorded them. They I felt at home and T?n joyed I hern selves ! in talking of the past, the hardships of camp life, their loving commanders, and those who have gone over the river, j It will not be l?>ng before fhey will | be all gone, like the cause fhe.\ fought 1 for. It is a pleasure to have them and j show them that loving kindness and' attention which they so richly deserve. | As Governor Cooper said: "The Sfati'j honors itself in honoring and providing for them as it is able." Camden* can well feel proud of the fine success it made, i'n its entertain- j ill en t. The parade Thursday afternoon j was the prettiest and best the State j ever had. Not a mistake or a hitch.: was made. Iiarliuifton will have to hustle to equal it. J. K. iniPre. Remhert ., S. C., May L'". What The Register Shows.
