The Organization Perfected—A Large Attendance—They Jolly Each Other With Reminiscences of the War. Camp Jako Carpenter, U. C. V., met at the Gaffney Male and Female Seminary last Saturday afternoon. There was a large crowd present and the interest manifested was intense. The sight of these hoary-headed patriots was inspiring and to listen to their jollying each other served to knock oil the keen edge which the usual story of war is likely to create. The organization is purely social and its meetings are held with open doors. Commander H. P. Griffith called the meeting to order and Treasurer W. F. McArthur read the minutes of the last meeting. Adjutant J). A. Thomas then read the roil of mem bers, after which new members were enrolled. Prof. Griffith then introduced Ad jutant J. L. Strain, of Camp Giles. Mr. Strain stated the object of the organization, saying that it was purely social, benevolent and his torical. Ho spoke in most feeling terms of the past, the present and the future of the old soldiers. Ho related at some length the details and plans of the organization. Ho spoke of the grand re-union at Charleston and urged all who could to attend. The audience paid Mr. Strain ^marked attention and were profuse in their applause at tho close of his remarks. Pref. Griffith then read tho by-laws of Camp Sumter, U. C. V. and the Constitution of the S. C. division of the U. C. V. By motion the body went into a permanent organization. In addition to the officers elected at the previous meeting tho follow ing were chosen: First Lt. Com mander—Moses Wood; Second Id. Commander—Daniel Anthony; Sur geon—Dr. W. M. Smith; <2 lja| d e r- master—J. R. Webster; Chaplain— T. J. Campbell; Sergeant Major—J. G. Sarratt. M. M. Tate was appointed color sergeant; C. T. Bridges, vidette, and J. A. Pierson and Thomas Eu banks. color guards. J. (}. Sarratt, G. W. McKowan and the adjutant commander are n com mittee on constitution and by-laws to report at next meeting. The Camp will meet again the first Saturday in April. Who Will Be the Man? The mayor's election next Tuesday bears promise of bein^ a little livelier than was at first thought. When last week’s paper was issued there was but one candidate in tho field for intendant, A. N. Wood, but now there is another, J. V. Sarratt. Both Messrs. Wood and Sarratt have been placed in the race by their friends in the truest sense of tho word, as neither of them desired to become candidates and it was after much pursuasion that cither consented to allow his name to bo used in that direct'on. Both of these gentlemen are too well known in this city for The Ledger to attempt to extol tho merits of either. Mr. Wood is a successful banker, well and favorably known at home and abroad, while Mr. Sarratt is a successful merchant of long standing in this community and is a capable man. Died, A Stranger in a Strange Land. Jefferson Higgins, superintendant of tho new mill of the Gaffney Manu facturing Company, died at his resi dence on Grenard street at a late hour Monday night of pneumonia. Mr. Higgins was something over seventy years of age. Ho was a native of Augusta, Me., but had only recently come to this city from Newberry, S. C. Mr. Higgins was a Mason, and, although he hail been in Gaffney but about three months, he had succeeded in making quite a number of friends. He leaves a widow and several chil dren to morn his loss. The remains were taken to tho northern home of tho deceased hj tho 4:15 train Tues day afternoon. Undertaker Broad Gaines, assisted by Mr. Robinson, of Spartanburg, embalmed tho body for shipment. —— ■ -• 009 ■ — —— The Iron City •citing There.
