PORTRAITS PRESENTED,
Pictures of Six (icnrruls Given To
Cumdcn Schools, ? ?
The chapel exercises of the ('am
den Schools wejje marked by u most
unique and interesting program on
Tuesday morning, the occasion being
the presentation of the portraits of
tho six Generals furnished, the Con*
fcderae,V by 'our historic town. The
stage had been most appropriately
decorated with palms and ferns, Con
federate flags and white flowers, tho
portraits placed in full view among
them, by Mrs. John Nettles and her
committee. Mrs.^F. I. Proctor and
committtee being responsible for the
choice of these excellent portraits
and their simple, tasteful frames.
It was indeed an inspiring sight
W'hen the auditorium tilled from stage
to gallery with the youth of today,
proud and anxious to do honor to the
heroes who wore the gray.
In spite of the early hour many of
the relatives of the generals so hon
ored and ever-faithful Daughters of
the Confederacy were present, but it
was regretted that the former presi
dent, Miss, Louise Nettles, for many
years the head of the John D. Kenne
dy Chapter U. D. C., was unablo to be
present.
' After reading from the Scriptures
and a prayer by Mr. Richards, super
intendent of the schools, the exer
cises were turned over to Mrs. N. R.
Goodale, President of the John D.
Kennedy Chapter, U. I). C. The Glee
Club, clad in the white and red of the
South, enthusiastically sang the old
favorites, the Bonnie Blue Flag and
Dixie. In a few well chosen words
Mrs. Goodale gracefully and earnestly
presented the portraits to the Super
intendent, in behalf of the Chapter,
! reading for the edification of the pu
? pils a short sketch of the life of each
I general as presented. In passing, she
I brought to the jiotice of the gathering
that a petition signed by her for the
Chapter and by the heads of all the
other organizations of the city and
county had been sent to Governor
McLeod requesting that the name of
General Joseph B. Kershaw be consid
ered as one of the five most out
standing figures, in peace as well as
war, from South .Carolina, to be carv
j ed 011 the face of Stone Mountain.
We are the only town in the South
to furnish six Generals to the Confed
eracy -and the -record, probably, can
not be equalled in the United States
record.
After the acceptance of the gift
by Mr. Richards in n most timely
talk to the pupils, the audience, led
by Miss Bolton at the piano and her
well-trained glee club, rose and sang
America, and an event long looked
forward to by the John D. Kennedy
Chapter U. D. C. was successfully
concluded.

"Efforts ? will be made to have a

vacancy will be made in the five al
ready selected and another soldier
from South Carolina who rendoTcd
'conspicuous service' will be chosen.'
Before the committee went into ex
