The company itself made a most
creditable showing, going through
^ the evolutions of close and extended
25r order w ith the precision of veterans.
The inspection lasted two hours.
The following .Staff officers of the
Kegiihent were present and reported
to the inspectors. Captain and Com
missary I). B. Black, Lieut. J. M.
Moore rand Quartermaster Sergeant
J. B. Ackerman.
The retirement of Major John
Black from the command of the
Third Battalion has created a vacan
cy which will soon have to be filled.
This Battalion is made up of com
panies stationed at Orangeburg,
Walterboro and Winnsboro. It is
understood that Capt. E. L- Fish-
bume will have no opposition for the
majorship and will succeed Major
Black.
The next meeting of the Super
visor and Board of county commis
sioners will be held the first Monday
and Tuesday of May. At this meet-
ing there are some matters of im
portance to be transacted, among
theae being the decision of the board
as to the necessary changes to be
made in order to conform to the new
' road law. There are fhoae who be-
lieve these changes should already
have been made, but the board evi
dently desires to consider these mat
ters well. We were pleased to pub-
1 lish a card last week from Mr. Platt
, in contradiction of the rejiort that he
• was opposed to the road engineer.
But whether any or all the board
t favor or oppose the plan will not
change the law, and as public offici
als they are bound to obey the law
A magnificent opportonity is theirs
just now if they measure up to it.
We trust they will.
CARD FROM MAGISTRATE MEL-
LARD.
To the editor of The Press and
Standard: - I notice in your issue of
the 9th inst. in the presentment of
th^ Grand Jury they presented me.
as magistaale, for incapacity and
drunkenness. I don’t know who gave
them such information, and in jus
tice to myself and to everyone whom
it may concern, I ask that you pub-
ish in your next issue the following:
As to age. I am 60 years old, and
never felt the effects of age until
seven years ago when I contracted
rheumatism and catarrh, < which on
several occasiors has forced me to
stop business for several days and
weeks at’ a time.
As to incapacity, my docket is
open for inspection at any time, and
one that cannot understand the rec
ord could hardly understand the
pri. iary books used in our common
schools.
As to the whiskey. 1 was taught
when a boy to eat and drink anything
that another man could, but never
abuse either by excess; which princi
ple I adhered to to the present day.
The party that instigated the
charge as the Grand Jury gave there
is a wilful mailicious and dangerous
liar.

Perhaps it has occurred to the
average citizen of the town many
times that an organization of tJ
men into a Business League, a Com
mercial Guh or a Chamber of Com
merce would be a mighty good thing
for the interests of the town. Why
is it, then, that such an organisation
is not forthcoming? Will not some
one take the initiative?
6
Almost every day something hap
pens that if properly uaed by the
town, would mean much for it in a
1 business way. Just now there is an
• especially urgent case that needs
immediate attention. The matter
' of extending our railroad to Den
mark from Ehrhardt has been pro
posed by the Augusta Chamber of
Commerce. This would be a splen
did thing for Walterboro, and the
county at large. Yet Walterboro is
not in a position tb do anything ex
Cept individually— No concerted ac
tion can be taken because thb town
has no organisation of business inter
ests to take up the proposition and
push it The Town Council could do

Civic League—it never meets.
What dp you say. Mr. citizen?
Shall we organize and push this and
other matters?

in which it was conducted reflects j^yj^h and snatched our beloved

their duties in a very business like ling hands and loving hearts could
do was done, but to no avail.
She united with the Evergreen
Christian church, a few years ago,
and as long as her physical strength
would allow, she could be found at
her place in church.
She was born June, 6 189J, and
was married to G C McElmurray
Jan. 21 1910.
Mrs McElmurray had only been
married about six weeks before her
death.
She leaves a grief stricken hus
band. father and mother, five sisters
and seven brothers and a host of
sorrowing relatives and friends to
mourn her loss. But our loss is her
eternal gain.
Her body was taken to Walterboro
on Friday night’s train, and was
laid to rest at the Evergreen Ceme
tery beside her mother and two sis
ters, who preceded her to the bet
ter. land several years ago.
Mrs McElmurray was 16 years 9
months and 4 days old.
. e e
She was ever willing and ready to
submit to His will, and to serve her
loving Savior.
She was a loving wife, a kind!
daughter a firm and true sister.
Mrs McElmurray had just attained
womanhood, nobel true and good,
worthy the highest esteem of friends
and acquaintances. .
The funeral services were conduct
ed by Rev. Henry Cauthen, and it
was beautiful' and impressive and
the esteem in which our dear Lot
tie was held was attested by the
quivering lips and the flow of tears j
of those who were in attendance.
Those Jwho came with the body
were: Mr McElmurray her husband.
Mr Hiers father of the deceased,
Mr and Mrs B H Beach athd Mr and
Mrs Neil Salter.
The grief stricken family have the
sympathy of the entire* community
in this their sad hour. But God in
his wisdom took her to dwell with
him above where sorrow, sickness,
pain and death are feared and felt
no more.
Lonely the house and sad the heart
since our Dear one has gone, but
oh’ a brighter home than ours in
Heaven is now’ her own.
A precious one from us has gone.

A place is vacant in our home which
never can be filled.
A loving sister.

Yours very sincerely,
