"Lord. I'np so <h. I. I halo lo think
'bout what may happen to him."
"So do I. I'm ^<>in l?> try tlg'lll 111 the
mornlll to glt him to go away."
Sim entered the room, ami I'np and
Mlrnndy lapsed Into silence. Whether
Pap would have succeeded the next
morning in persuading Sim t<> ro re
mains a mailer of doubt, for be never
had a chance lotry.
Bcforo Sim had I. II his bed Sat.:
Morgan etlino with a slat.- warrant tu
arrest llilll. Mary Mann bad discover
Od In some way that Sim bad returned,
and she rep..rle.l it to .Mm Thorn. Tho
latter, overanxious to loins Sim to jfis
tleo, had hiirri..! before Squire Iteeson
and sworn out the warrant.
The srjulre's sympathies were with
Sim, but he had his oflleinl duties lo
perform, no matter how disagreeable
they might be. Sam Morgan, too, who
still held the ofllco of township cousin
ble, sympathized with Sim. although
he believed him guilty. When he came
to make the arrest, lie said w ith an r.lr
of apology:
"1 hale to do It, Sim; I do shore. I
never done anything I hated to do
wuss'n I hale to do Ibis, an Ii' I had
my way 'bout It I'd ruthcr be
twitched."
"That's all right, Sain." Sim replied.
"I'm not blatnln you none."
"Of course you know bow I'm fixed,
Sim." Sam went on. "I'm standli
right botwlxt my own Inclinations an
the law, an, no matter how much I'd
like to glvo way to the fusl, the law's
got. the right .'III has u'ol lo be heeded
When a feller's tillin a responsible of

when he goes into olllce he Hw'lll'S n
solemn oath thai he'll do Jest that
a-way."
"Yes, I know, Sam, and I nili'l think
In hard of you."
"I'm ?lad you look at ii Mini way.
Sim. 'cause we was allus ur">>d friends,
au I don't want you to f el burl at me.
Hut. my laud. Sim. yon don't know
how strict the law is un how it bears
down on a body an he;,, him nil in on
ever' side, so's he nili'l gol in. rl?hl l>.

awful solemn an responsible Illing, (his

"That's all right, Sam. 1 ain't goln
to have no hard feelln's for no man i
lest Yniso he'? doln Ids (Intv. nn I
know Hint's all you're doln now. I'm |
not blanilli Squire I'.eeson neither, for I
he's not done anything He didn't have (
to do. It looks like Jim Thorn Is put- |
tin himself out a right smart, but may
be he feels that he Ollglll to, an any
how I ain't bill 111 In him neither. I
nin't blninlll nobody."
"Waal, I'm ?lad you feed that n-wny,
Sim, I'm shore. I don't like the way
.Ilm Thorn done, (hough, un I ain't
liked tin' way he's done from the fust.
He was the fust man lo accuse you of
that crime."
"lint you all b'llovcd It, Sam. nil ex
cept I'np Sampson an I.oiiccsy."
"Yes, but LOW COIlld we help It? I
didn't, want to, but you know how ev
er'thlng wiw ag'ln you. Then thnr was
tho threat you made that day over to

"I know. Kvor'lldug'a ng'ln ino< I tut.
Slllllj If I wan to sw'ar to you that I'm
Innocent wonhl yon b'llevo iuo?"
"I would, Sim. VailSO I know you'd
never Kw'ar to a llu."
*? I ii? ii I sw'ar to you that 1 nover
killed .lames Melvlll. May QoU help
in?;"
"Sim Banks," Sain said, "from this
minute i h'llovo you Innocent. Thar's
my hand on that."
"Thank you," Sim replied. "It does
me :i world of \i.I to hear you say
(lint. And now. Sam, I'm ready tu no."
"All right. We'll go before Squire
Iteesoii an P i him si t the day for your
preliminary he.arhi, or w ill you waive
thai an wail I'm- tho grail' Jury to net'.'"
"l duutin. Which w ill ho boat?"
"Will. 11 yotl waive a lien rill In the
squire's court you'll have to go to Jail,
while ii you have a hearln you mought
git out on ball."
"Then I'll have a hearln, an tho
quicker the heller. Hut what you
reckon they'll do with me, Sam?"
"1 can't say, hut not much, I
hope."
Tin y had reached the door wbcu Pap
Samp.-mi caino from another room and
culled to Sam.
"W hat is it, L'lip?" Sam asked.
"Iis n t toll I the man that COI110 wdtli
Sim." Tap replied. * * 11?. ? wants you to
semi Squire Ifccsoil an two other men
her?"."
"Wim! for?"
"1 don'l know. Ho jest savs he
wauls Vm, IUI, though lie's so siek Ulis
inornin lha( lie can't sei up, he says if
you ilon'l Bend 'em he'll go to the
squire's olllce even if lie has to crawl
ever' fool ol' the way on his han's an
knees."
"Lord, I'll senil 'ein. of course. But I
enn'l make out w hat on earth ho wants
of 'em. Must want 'cm putty partlc'
! lar, too, to talk that a w ay."
"Seeiiis so. Vmi heller send Jason
Roberts an .lake I licks, I guess." I
'?All right, Tap. I'll send 'ein."
As Sam and Sim walked down the
street the former said:
"Who is that man that come with
you, SlinV"
?'lie's a feller-1 got to know In the
army." Sim replied. "lie corao thnr
tw'o or three weeks after me, an he
.-aid his name was Thompson. That's
\ 'bold all I know 'hout him."
"Don't you know whar ho belongs
' nor nothln?"
"No. lie never would speak of tils
past life nor of his homo nor nothln."
"Humph! That'll qunlro, nlnt It?"
"Yea, 1 thought it a little curious, hut
I 'lowed it wasn't any of my business,
bo I never said anything to him 'bout
It."
"No, luit it qunlre, an so is hl? want
In tho squire an them men. I can't
Dgger it out."
Sim showed but little Interest. He
j was thinking of something else. His
mind was on Louisa, the one chief sub
ject of Ids thoughts during all the long
four years of his absence, lie was
wondorim- if ho should boo her again
now that tie was so near. She had
never bellovcd him guilty. That was
one great comfort. No matter what
his fate, that Knowledge would cheer
him even if she held aloof from him in
his hour of t rouble.
At the squire's ofllcc Sam remained
guarding his prisoner while tho squire
mid the others went to answer the
luminous of the stranger. Pop Sainp
K.iii, finding himself not needed at
home, enme down to bo with Sim.
The news of the arrest having
1 spread, a number of people cnino to see
Sim. a few of them out of sympathy,
hut the greater number out of mere cu
riosity, .lim Thorn and Mary Mann
w i re among the visitors.
Thorn did not say a word to Sim, but
there was a triumphant expression on
his face that showed he was highly
gratified at Sim's arrest. He ha<l nev
er forgotten that blOW Sim had gl .en
him, and now, after four years, he was
getting his roveilgo and getting it in
full measure.
Mrs. Mann was equally as well plens
Pd ns Thorn; but, unlike him. she was
11? ? t content to lei the expression on her
features show her feelings. Approach*
lllg quite (lose to the prisoner, fdlO
.?aid:
"I'm glad to see you, sim Ranks, on
to sec you right where you are. I hope
now j nu'ro satisfied."
Sim made no reply, lint Sum Morgan
spoke fur him.
"Mis'us Mann," he said, "you ort to
l?e ashamed. Anybody thnt'd talk to
Sim thai a way now ain't got as much
heart ns a stone. If you can't Bay
something eomfortin, don't Bay any
thing."
"Lot III 111 look to Loueesy Banks for
eomfortin words. She's the one to
speak 'em. An jest lot him wait till
she does speak 'em. He'll wait for
ever."
Pap Sampson had been fidgeting in
ami out of the room ever since ho
j ( .line. He'd go out and look off down
I the fltrOOt, then come ill ftlld sit ?0WI1.
In a few mhllltes he'd go through the
snmo .lions again, This he kept up
till filially Ham Morgan said:
"What's the matter of you, Tap,
that you've got so restless all at once7"
"Nofhlll, Sam, nothln at alt," Pap re
plied.
But Sain Morgan know better.
CHAPTER XXIV.
"ai i.'s win. THAT k.'nuh WRf.l.."
Tap Sampson was expecting tho nr
rlvol of Louisa. He had Immediately
after Sim's return sent her word In
forming her of Hint fact, He had not
asked her to eomo and bad made no
suggestion as to what she should do.
He simply told her that Sim had eomo
home and was going to give himself
up and left the rest to her.
lb- believed she would come. Ho
felt confident of It. but ho didn't know.
He said nothing (o Sim of what he
had done Ii r fear . f OllCOtiraglng false
hopes. If Louisa came, It would be
nil right, but if she didn't. It would bo
better for Sim to think BllO didn't
know.
So it was that Pap Sampson was nil
on odgo with expectancy and doubt
and w as in a continual fidget. He was
so anxious for Louisa to eomo and so
afraid she wouldn't. Then, too, If sho
did eomo ho wanted to tie the lirst to
meet her.
or course sim's old neighbors wore
anxious to lenrn tho history of Iiis
Ufo during the four yours of hl? ai,.
soncc, nnd they piled him with ongor
finest Ions UDtll he was forced to tell
much more than ho wished. Ills career
as a soldier had been .glorious jn an
humble way, for he bad fought at
the front in many hard contested bat?
ties, and he had performed more than
one deed of uncommon valor. Hut
Sim was modest, and It was trying to
hlm to have to speak of these things,
and even When he was driven to It he
pass d them over ns lightly as possi
ble.
Tap Bauipsou, however, was too
fond nud proud of Sim to allow his
heroism to remain unknown. So, not
withstanding his excited condition, ho
took time to tell the full story of how
Sim had saved Thompson by bravely
resculug him from tho hold of battle
In a rain of shot and shell. Pap told
It all as Thompson had told It, giving
Sim his full meed of credit- When he
bad finished, there was a long silence,
during which everybody sat with open
month, staring ut Sim In astonishment.
It was a full minute before any ono
spoke, and even then some one merely
exclaimed:
"Waal, I'll jest bo doggonedl"
1 This broke the spell, and quickly
Sam Morgan added:
"Don't that beat you? Who'd V
ever thought of Sim Hanks doiu any
slob a way as that?"
"Lord," some one exclaimed, "I bet
ho was* skeered, though. Wa'n't you,
Sim?"
"I don't know," Sim replied wearily.
"I don't mind much 'bout tt."
Pnp Samp! ??" brought his cone down
with a thump.
"Of co'se Sim wa'n't skeered," he
said. "A man that'll do like ho ?tone
ain't it gwlno to git skeered at UOthitl.
Sim Hanks skeered! Lord, you make
UM' plumb tiled."
"My land. Pap, you're plumb right
'bout that. A feller fixed like Sim was
thai- don't have no time to think 'bout
?lttln skeered. I know Jest how it are,
'cause I've been in lots of jest sieh
scrapes myself. I mind doin putty
nigh jest that same thing once on a
awful bloody battlefield, an I wa'n't no
more skeered than I am this minute."
"Was that the time von lit Hicks'
enters down tlinr In 11it- collar, Ebene
Bcr?"
Ebcnezcr Sparks tossed bis head
with ail :ilr of line seorn.
"1 reckon," be suhl, "you think you're
pow'ful Biunrt, allua draggln that old
cellar In over' time 1 ?last to open my
mouth. But I guess you'll keep on
n-dra??in It Iii till you've wore It
plumb Otlt."
Pap Sampson, who had been out on
the street, came hurriedly In and whis
pered something to Sim. No one heard
what he said, but whatever It was it
hail a magical effect, for Sim was
transformed In an Instant from a state
of listless apathy to one of eager and
excited interest. His face beamed, and
Ids eyes glistened, and be trembled
from head to fo ?t. lie sprang up and
started out, bill Sam Morgan laid his
hand gently on his arm to detain hllll.
The next moment n woman appeared
In the open door. Everybody looked 1
up and saw It was Louisa. Then a si
lence as still as death fell over the
scene.
She paused for nn instant and glanc<
od around. Her eyes wandered until
they rested Oil Sim. Then with a cry
full of Joy and pathos she tottered to
Wlird him. His arms opened to receive
bei*, and the next moment she was
folded to his breast, and in silence they
were weeping together.
Nobody spoke. 1 r was n scene too
Impressive, too sacred, to bo disturbed.
Many stood with their heads bent,
their hearts full and their eyes moist
with tears. Sam Morgan drew his
handkerchief from his pocket and has
tily turned his face away, while Ehe
nezor Sparks stood smiling Idiotically,
tnnklug heroic efforts to appear unaf
fected.
No on moved but Pap Sampson. lie
stood thumping the lloor with his cane
as tl oilgh be had a contract to thump
a In e through It and was determined
to accomplish his undertaking. All the
while there was a smile on his wrin
kled, tanned old face such as had not
been se n there for many days. He
was happy, and no wonder! He had
worked and hoped and longed for this
all those four lon? years.
It was Sim who broke the silence.
Taking Louisa's head between his
hands, he raised it gently until their
eyes met. Then he saw that she, too,
had suffered.
"Poor little ?Irl!" he said tenderly.
"It has been hard, cruelly hard, for
you."
"Yes," she Biglied, "hard and dark,
but It has been harder for you. Poor
Sim!"
"And you pity me too7"
She drew closer to blm and met his
eyes with hers In a look full of tender
ness.
"it Is not that. Sim," she whispered.
"It Is not pity."
He began to tremble. Ah, could it be
that heaven was about fo open rl?nt
before htm, with all its ll?ht ami ?lory.
after this long, weary nlgllt of bitter
desolation? lie dared not hone, it
was too much to expect. In husky, ea
gor tones he said:
"Louisa, tell me, what Is It?"
"It is love."
Then to Sim Banks all the ?lory and
Joys of earth and heaven were unfold
ed, and In one moment all the dark sor
rows and pains of the past, nil the
threatened dangers of the future, pnss
cd away us a dream. That was the
one moment of supreme bliss in his
life.
Holding tier close to his heart, be
said:
"Lotiecsy, Is it really true? Can It be
possible?"
"It Is," she replied. "It Is all true. 1
love yoil. I have loved you for u Ion?
time. How could I help It nfter nil
your goodness to nie und the wuy you
did when yon went away?"
Sim looked at her wondcrlugly.
"I don't understand," lie said "I on
ly tried to do my duty the beat I could
11 wasn't much."
"It was much to me. It wns CnOtlgll
to show me that you nre tho noblest
and best man in the world, and I love
you with my whole heart nnd soul."
Sim was too happy to speak, so he
stood silently stroking her hnlr, nl>
Sorbin? the Joy with which tho very
air seemed Impregnated. After a little
While she said:
"And now, SI in, can you ever for
?Ivo me nfter nil I have made you suf
for?"
"Forglvo you. Loucesy!" he exclaim
ed. "Cod knows I never had a hard
thought for you an never blamed you
for anything in my life."
"No, but for nil that. Sim, I was
wicked."
"You wns not to blame. What you
<1. you couldn't help. You wns not
to blame one bit."
She nestled her bond on his shoulder
nnd drew n lon? sigh of happy relief.
"I know now," she snld, "that 1
never loved before?not with such love
ns this."
Some there wero who watched tills
roilnIon of hushnnd and wife with
turloslty, some who watched It with
Joy nnd two who watched It With
mallco and envy. These last were
Mary Mmm nnd Jim Thorn. They
did not forRot that Sim was under
arrest nnd thnt probably the gallows
or tho state diIhou awaited bim. Oil*
in spite of that tbey would have de
prlvcd lilin of tho hnppluesa of this
brief moment.
Ham Morgan was rejoiced, yet trou
bled. Ho was liappy t > see Sim ami
Louisa Jollied in love. Put lie. too. re
incmbercd the future aud what it like
|y bold for Sim. Tltrulug to 1'ajiSamp |
pou. bo whispered:
"I'd give the world if Sim was only
free. It scorn-; mi Paul to take idm
from his wife now."
"Sim's Innocent," Tap replied, "an
I don't b'llevo he'll have to suffer."
"I wish I could b'llevo that. Tap, but
I can't. I don't see no reason for
hope."
"I'll hope to the last. Sam, reason or
no reason. It 'pears like the squire
an them others is stayin a long time,
don't it V"
"Does so. That feller must 'a' had n
heap ??;' business with 'em. I'd give a
pltllty to know w hat it Is."
"Mebby we'll know rigid soon now.
for I sec 'em n-eoinln."
Presently the squire entered the
room, followed closely by Jason Hub
erts and Hicks. The squire looked
very solemn, ami his face was almost
sad. Hicks was quiet and impassive,
hut Jasoll was smiling all over. The
squire walked to his seat, and Hicks
followed and sat near hill). Neither of
them spoke to anybody. Jason, how
ever, stopped long enough to whisper
a word to Sim. What that word was
no one know, hut they all saw that it
caused Sim to start and look wonder
lugly around.
The squire put on his speet: cles. took
a paper from ids pocket am unfolded
It. Then bo looked around over ah
those assembled and said Impressively
"I have hero a paper that 1 am ^oiio,
to read, but first I want to say. in t?ic
presence of you all, that Sim Hanks Is
an Ini'oeciil man."
A flutter <it' excitement succeeded
these words, ami two or three edged up
to Sim and extended hhn their hands
to show that they were glad. Sam
Morgan gnve a yell and threw his hat
clear up to the celling, while I'ap Sump
son began a vigorous pounding on the
floor with his c:\ne.
Squlro Becsou rapped on Ids table to
bring Tap and Sum to order. Thou ho
proceeded to read the paper in? held III
his hand.
That paper was tho confession of .to
Boph Thompson, formerly known to
III Jenkins ami Jonathan Turner us
Walto, but whose real name was. Hob
ort Mnrchnnd. He confessed In tho
presence of witnesses and under oath
that bo fired the shot that killed Frank
Sheltoti, alias James Melvln. He did
It, he said, to avenge the honor of his
sister and the life of his brother, and
he bad no regrets for the act. He had
tracked Stieltou to that place, and bo
had come there under the name of
Walte for the purpose of killing III in.
After that he bad gone to tho army
under tho name of Thompson, and fate
had guided him to Sim Hanks, the
man who was suspected of ids crime.
When Sim came home, he had come
with him, knowing Sim would he ar
rested and It would devolve on him to
clear him.
"So now." tho squlro concluded,
"Sim Hanks Is discharged and stands
before tho world an Innocent ami a
free man."
"An the happiest man this side of
kingdom come," Pap Sampson cried,
"an I'm next!"
Then was Joy turned loose. Jim
Thorn and Mary Mann slipped quietly
out and stole away, but all tlio rest re
mained to congratulate SI III ami re
Jolee with him ami Louisa. It was a
great BCCIIC and one that was never
forgotten, and if Squire Boeson's ollleo
floor was Uot punched full of holes it
was not I'ap Sampson's fault.
"Hi p Is my true and tried old friend.-'
Sim said, with tears In his eyes, "for
ho stood by inn from tho first to the
last."
"land. Situ, nobody couldn't ever
make me b'llevo you done It," Pap re
oiled, "an when these fellers 'lowed It
was you I allowed they was Jest bark
In at :i knoV."
Ami this Is all. except that two days
later Itobort Marcliand died In Sim
Hanks' arms and that Sim and Louisa
have Bottled down to a new life, with
the old dark past cut adrift, with all
Its Borrows, sufferings and misunder
standings.
SI in Is bnppy und contented, for ho
knows Ids wife loves hhn.

C'.KRMAN K AI 1 WORKS,
<;j N.i .-..in ^ i.. New Vorle.
complimented the men of the South on
their glorious record in the war and
deplored the fad that so many of the
glorious hand had passed away. (Jhcer
after cheer greeted the Governor.
Mayor Wilhams extended a welcome
on behalf of the city conned of Mem
phis.
Kx Senator Turley expressed his
pleasure in extending the greetings of
the citizens of Memphis. Among these
citizens, he. said, wore many who dur
ing the war had placed their sympathy
and lesources against the cause of the
Confederacy. To these citizens of
Memphis, who had opposed the South
(luring the war, much of the success of
Iho reunion was duo. His announce
ine.nl. of the part laken in Iho work
by the Federal sympathizers wnsgreet
ed with repeated cheers.
The hall was then turned over to
(b n. .lohn r>. (Jordon commander of
Iho United Confederate Veterans, and
Hie mention of his name was greeted
with choct alter cheer. The veterans
again and again gnvo him the yell of
wi Iconic as he advanced from the rear
of the platform, and it was some
minutes before his clear, ringing Voice
could be beard for the tumult ?Uli
winch he was greeted. Gen. Gordon
responded to the grnciOUS welcome of
I Tennessee, which lor the third lime
was receiving the remnant of the
Smith's matchless armies, Ural at Chat
I tanoogn, then at Nashville and now at
Memphis. No place, was more lilted
for such a gathering, said (it n. Gor
don, than ibis city by the great river,
which was once the highway for i on
clads, whose waters were churned by
torpedoes into a BCCtlling cauldron mill
whose bluffs were ram pa its of defence
for a struggling people. Heie. in ibis
Memphis no Alcxand r the Great ever
j worshipped in life or laid in state w hen
dead ; hut here lived, here fought, here
died and here rests the honored ashes
of Nathan I led fold Forrest, the vvilicH
horseman of modern times and the
equal in native, untutored genius ol
the greatest cavalryman <?l any age.
14 We are glad, therefore, to meet in
Memphis. In the fulness of our hearts
we thank this generous people lor their
invitation ami for this princely recep
tion. I conclude, as I began with the
declaration that no more appropriate
place, for such a gathering could have
been selected. It '.s appropriate lor
Iho reasons a'ready suggested. It is
appropriate because of its geographical
position, and by I be steadfast ad
herence of iis people lo the immortal
incmoiies of I be past ; it is in the very
center of I be lost bid forever loved
Confederacy. It is appropriate because
it is built upon the banks of the great
river which binds together with its
liquid links the distant sections of our
great common country, lor this city of
Memphis is one of the fountain heads
of that stream of American brother
hood and unity which Mows wilh ever
increasing volume through all liberty
loving Ainei ican hearts."
At the conclusion of General Gor
don's address Generals. 1) Lee pre
sented an oaken gavel, whose head
was made In III the wood of the steamer
Star of the West, n! w hich was lired
the llrst shot of the war as it attcmptud
to carry relief to Port Sunder.
General George VV. Gordon then de
livered a gavel made of wood, taken
from a tree growing on the bnltlcllcld
of Appomatox.
In a neat address Gen. John 11 Gor
don accepted both gavels. lie Iben
presented in a few happy wools Col
onel Kennet II. Voting, of Louisville,
the orator of Hie day.
While. Colonel Young was in the
midst of his address, the form oi Gen
eral Filxliugh Leo was seen as iho gen
eral plowed his way through I he crowd,
on his way to the plolform. lie was
greeted with warm cheers as he stepped
upon the platform. General Gordon
slopped forward, grasped his hand
warmly, and turning round lo the dele
gates said :
" Comrades, I have only to mention
the name, of I.ee."
The cheers redoubled in force and
volume and Ccneral Lee was compelled
repeatedly to bow his acknowledge
ment or l be hearty greeting of his old
comrades. Colonel Young's oration
was received with hearty cheers.

of ?3*2 (?72, with outstanding subscrip
tions of srt),727. Mrs. Uandoiph
made an urgent appeal for more
money.
At the afternoon session the report
til the historical committee was sub
milled and after reading was unani
mously adopted. The report staled
that the chief, and probably only, im
pediment lo the preparation and in
ception of a histoiy impartially deal
ing with both -ides of the war is pre
judice.
A resolution from the committee on
resolutions was presented to Lite con
vention and adopted, 41 That neither

"Such reunion is to he held only at
points in Ihose Slates which furnished
hodies oi troops to the Confederate
army."
(Jen. lohn II. Gordon was re-elected
commander of the order without oppo
sition, and the scene which followed
the announcement that for one year
longer he would preside over the work
of the organization was touching. The
old soldiers sprang to their feet and
cheered (he general with frantic en
ergy. Delegates climbed upon then
chairs, made the building ring with
their shouts and tilled the air with their
waving hals as they applauded him
again and again. It was a minute or
two before the general could master
his emotion sufficiently to express his
thanks lor the honor awarded to him,
and to express his gratitude for the ex
pressions of good will with which Ins
rc-oleclion had beer, received,
With Die same unanimity the re
election followed of Lieut.-Con, W. L.
Cnbol, of the. linns-Mississippi depart
mcnl; Liaut.-(Jon. S, I), Lee, of the
army of Tennessee, and Lieut.-den.
Wade Hampton, of the army of North
ern Virginia.
(ieneral Hampton was not able to
attend (he reunion because of ill health
and, therefore, f ieneral .Cordon spoke
lor him, sa\ing:
" I stand here in his name to tell
you that m> Coiifednrnlo veteran was

mortalize ihnn is Wade Hampton, and
in bis wailing years Ins heart turns lo
you as lo no other men within Hie (bin
of lime. In Iiis name I thank you foi
the renewal of confidence in that great
South Carolinian, Wndo Hampton."
Several it solutions of minor impor
tance were adopted and then came the
contest for the next meeting place.

dnugliler of General Cabol, extended a
hearty invitation to the. convention
