Memorial Day.
The beautiful custom of observ
ing Memorial Day aud dc> oiati::g
the graves of the Confederate dead
was observe-.! iu Darlington Mon
day afternoon. At 4 o’clock, P. M
the beds of the three white churches
commenced to toll and tt.is sad re
quiem was kept up throughout the
ceremonies. The citizens assem
bled at the Presbyterian Church.
The Darlington Guards in full
uniform and accoutrements, with
flag draped, funeral badges ou the
left arm, aud with muftied drum,
marched to the church, stacked
arms, aud occupied seats on tbe
right in front They were followed
by seventy fiower girls in double
rauk in charge of Miss Coriuue
Player, a squad of boys bringing
np the rear. The religious services
were conducted by Rev. Jno. G.
Law, pastor of the church, and
chaplain of tbe Guards. The
music conducted by the choir, led
by Mrs. W. E. James was well
rendered, consisting of the funeral
march with three selections, “Con
sider tbe lilies,” “Raise me, Jesus
to thy bosom,” and “Some Sweet
day, by aud by.” Tbe church was
well filled, many persons from the
country having come iu. At the con
clusion of the services, the proces
sion marched t-> tbe Presby terian
cemetery, the Guards standing at
“rest ou arms,” while tbe graves,
marked by white fiags, were decora
ted. Tne Guards then paid their
annual tribute to tbe memory of
their dead comrade, Sergeant L.
M. Williamson. They marched to
bis grave, presented arms, came
to th<* rest on aims, while two of
tbe officers placed tbe decorations.
The procession then marched to tbe
Baptist Cemetery and then to the
Methodist, decorating tbe graves.
At tbe Methodist Cemetery is the
lonely grave of a U. 8. cavalry man,
one ot the garrison who died here,
whose remains have not been placed
in the National cemetery at Flor
ence. This grave was treated with
tbe same respect ss those of the
soldiersof the Confederacy, an ever
green cross, wreath and bouqt ets
of flowers, placed in memory of bis
mother and aistere in a distant
State. Tbe prooession then went
to the mounment. George W.
Brown, Esq, after making a abort
address read that beautiful and
son) stirring poem “In Memoriam,”
written by tbe poet-prieet of the
South, Father Ryan, a poem Wan
ted by the Memorial Association.
Tbe monument, which bad been
* with wreathe,
from which were suspended, bas
kets of flowers, crosses, wreaths
and other floral emblems, was then
dressed with flowers. Amoug tbe
oomerons mementoes of the dead,
ware prominently t oticed the names
of Hooie, Dargau, Law, Warley,
Fountain aud many others, not
forgetting that old soldier of tbe
5th Lou&iaua Regt., M. Welsh, who
always took such an active in
terest in all the work of the As
sociation, aud who bat a few months
ago died from the effects of wounds
received on many a hard fought
field. The Guards then presented
arms “in memory of the Confederate
dead,” and closed tbe ceremonies
with three vollies, firing with blank
cartridges.
