MICHAEL THOMPSON.
The Confederate Soldier Who Wan Never
Alment from a Koll Call.
In our issue of last Tuesday we
gave an account of the death of Mr.
“Mike” Thompson, which was the
result of injuries he received by
being thrown from a wagon. As Mr.
Thompson was one of the old land
marks of this section of the country
and well known throughout this and
adjoining,counties we think the follow
ing, from a Spartanburg correspondent
of the News and Courier, will be read
with interest by many of our readers,
not only in this county, but perhaps
in other States:
“Michael Thompson, the Confeder
ate soldier, who was never absent
from a roll call and who would not
take a furlough during the war, has
made his last march and joined those
comrades gone before.
He was born near the Clifton Mill
settlement about 70 years ago. His
parents were poor and their children
were brought up to hard work and in
a hard way. There were four broth-
thers, who entered the same company
and served through the war. The
other three are still living. ‘Mike’
Thompson as the boys called him,
was a simple hearted man, very kind
and gentle, with no vices and no
meanness in his nature. lie was
unable to read and write, and seemed
content with his lot. He never ex
pected promotion in the army and
was content to serve as an humble
private, but was always ready for a
march or a fight. He did his duty
without murmur or complaint.
When rations were short he accepted
his pittance with chearful acquies
cence; when tley failed beseemed
more sorry for fhe Government than
for himself. He would never accept
a furlough to visit home. The last
two winters his command was in
camp some of his friends were anxious
for him to return home on a visit.
He would sometimes agree to have
papers signed up on a certain day,
but when the time came Mike would
back out. At one time his excuse
would be this, ‘I think we will soon
move camp and I want to be here
then.' At another time he would
say ‘There are signs of a fight pretty
soon and I have to be here.’ So he
bad an excuse always ready and
never accepted a furlough. He was
never a strong, robust man, but has
alwajs managed to be on time.
The writer well remembers him the
first day at Gettysburg, when the
brave Pender put in Hill’s light di
vision wi b such fine effect. After
a long charge, in which about one-
third of the command was killed or
disabled, the stone fence., near the
Lutheran Sejziin&ry.'wras reached and
the enemy sent towards Cemetery
Heights. Mike'landed against that
'fence, but he was so exhausted
io dropped down. He banded
tn to a lieutenant, standing at
fence, saying ‘Its loaded; I’m
able to stand and shoot, but I
oan sit here and load and you can
shoot.
A DELIGHTFUL EVENT.

Young Frlepds Friday Evening.
Dr. and Mrs. C. M. Littlejohn en
tertained a number of their young
friends of the city Friday night at
their hospitable home on Limet(tone
street. The very pleasant affair was
held in honor of Miss Garliogton,
one of Spartanburg’s popular young
ladies, who was the charming guest
of the Misses Littlejohn last week.
Dainty and delicious refreshments
were served in rich profusion and the
few hours allotted for the pleasure
and enjoyment of the favored guests
were most pleasantly spent by them.
Those who were honored with invi
tations were: Miss McFarland, of
Atlanta, Ga.; Miss Marie Agnew, of
Columbia; Miss Stoughton, of Au-
gufta, Ga.; Miss Mary Lee Hardin,
of Chester; Misses Annie Brown,
Inez Sirratt, Addle McArthur,
Mamie Poag, Ollie Scott. Belle Scott,

Aside from the Invited guests, the
pleasures of the evening were en
hanced by the presence of Misses
Agnea.and lone Littlejohn, the lovely
and charming daughters of the host
and hostess, to whom the thanks of
the guests are due for many of the
joyable features of the occasion.

SUNDAY SERVICES.
Revii. Cree and Ford Exchange Fulplta
Sunday Night—The Kevlval.
The Sunday morning services at
the First Baptist church were well
attended and Pastor Creo preached
an exceptionally good sermon.
Before the close of the services
Mr. Cree made a call, in a manner
that could not be resisted, for $610.00
as another installment of the church’s
indebtedness for their new building.
The congregation was either in an
unusually generous state of mind,
or else Mr. Cree’s “persuasive
powers” were too eloquent to be with
stood, for in a very short time $620.00
had been subscribed, making ten
dollars over and above the amount
asked for.
Rev. W. S. B. Ford, of the Chero
kee Avenue Baptist church, filled
the pulpit at night, and preached a
very entertaining, instructive and
refreshing sermon on “vVhat think
ye of Christ; Who’s Son is He?”
The same night Mr. Cree preached to
a large congregation at the Cherokee
Avenue Baptist church. A revival
meeting is now in progress at that
church and a deep interest is already
being manifested by the large con
gregations that are in nightly attend
ance. The meeting began Friday
night and up to yesterday services
were held at night only; but during
this week, and for the remainder of
tho meeting, there will be services
both at night and in the afternoon ;—
at 1:30 o’clock in the afternoon and at
8:30 o’clock at night.
Mr. Cree will do the preaching for
the entire series of meetings, though
he is being assisted in the other ser
vices by Rev. W. S. B. Ford, pastor
of the Cherokee Avenue church, who
is a host within himself. They are
both good men and good preachers
and their combined efforts at this
time will do much for the cause of
Christ in Gaffney.
The length of time for the meeting
to continue has not yet been deter
mined upon, but will no doubt de
pend largely upon the interest mani
fested.
