WEDNESDAY, MAY I. ipay. have not heart, of any preparations to honor the day. Woold it not be a good thisg for the county to make aome effort a to make thia truly a Memorial Day? The ranks of?‘Tbe Grey Legion’’ la Colleton county are getting thinned. The yoaoger generation* thoold have the opportunity to learn •omethlng of their trial* frem their lip* while ye* thor* la time. . . la It not true that there is now a fond deposited In tome bank, oontribnted tilth a view of erecting a confederate moaameot on the courtbou as aqoare?

This is a matter of more importance than a cursory glance wonld indicate. OUR HOSPITALITY. Art tbe people of Colleton connty Mag the old Mm* hospitality for wh'oh oar people have so long been naked? A gentleman who has been going about ia eeveral counties recent ly made a statement that w* hope ia not tree. He mid be and a friend had driven ap to a country home in another aoanty, at abont the dinner hoar, end being etrengerp, they feared they would lad eoant welcome. Mot so, their huree was nnharneeeed and fed and were taken In with all cordiality and hospitality and given the best the hones afforded, with a good old Bonihern welcome and no th6ngbt wee there of pay. This gentleman laid there were vast aieae of Oollston county where be does not believe be wonld have re ceived such a welcome, or no welcome at all, and if ao only at ao much per. Ia thia true Oolletoniana? We know a person has no right to expect each * treatment at the baud* of stranger?, hnt we love to think of that hopiiality far which the South m noted—or for which the Booth was noted. There 1* mdse thing higher sad better than the dollar mark, and we have never seen each a kindness go unrequited. It I* truly "bread cast upon the waters," aad it will return. Bat in this ruth uud hurry age men have not time to do many Htt'e things that were inch com mou oouitesles a generation or so ago. But 1st us not forget thy Booth's tradi- tfams, her customs and manners. Torn mot tht stranger away empty-handed.
