MRS. FANM McLVER WILLIAMS It is with deep regret that we an nounce the death of this estimable and accomplished lady; which sad .erent occurred' on Wednesday morn ing April 29th, at the residence of her son-in-law, Dr. Baird- She was born January 13th 1836, at Society Hill, and spent most of her life at ,that place, having only only been a resident of Darlington for a few mouths previous to ber death. She was the daughter of Maj. D. It. W. Mclver, whose wife; Caroline Simons was the daughter of Judge Samuel Wilds. Her mother died when she was an infant, but she was adopted by Dx- Thomas Smith who married the widow of Judge Wilds. She was -married oh June the 1st 1858, to • Capt. Geo. F. Williams, who died in Darlington, enroirte to Charleston to tender the services of his company to the Confederate Government. After the death of Dr. Smith she continued to reside at the old home stead with her brother-in-law Major Lucas. Mrs. Williams was a very fine musician, and excelled both in vocal andinstrumentul music. She was for thirty years the voluntary organist and the alto singer of Trinity Epis copal Church at Society Hill, and the tine music rendered by the ehoir was always a surprise and delight to .strangers who attended the services. Previous to the war, all the ease and luxury that wealth could give were hers, but the troubles and losses in tailed by this great struggle were powerless to affect the sweetness and serenity of her disposition, and she gave no time to regret or complaint, hut made her life a blessing to her friends and to all with whom she ,eame in contact. Unkind words were never spoken by her lips, and uncharitable thoughts of others never found lodgement in her heart. She was above all a sincere ami humble Christian, and in every time of trou ble or darkness could ever put her trust in Him, who doeth all things well. portion of the space at <wr disposal to a description of this ceremony. The- banquet given by the Hoard of Trade was indeed a feast, and will not be soon forgotten by those who were so fortunate as to be present. The Association will meet next year in Anderson, and the people of that thriving town will do their best to equal the splendid hospitality of Georgetown. To surpass it would be impossible. THE ASYLFM MANAGEMENT. Dr. Griffin the Superintendent of the Asylum has published a very tepiperate and comprehensive defense of the charges prefered against him by the investigating committee, and clearly demonstrates that ho was treated with injustice, in that no specifications were presented to him. Dr. Griffin is one of the ablest phy sicians in the State, and is a man of unblemished integiity, and this com mittee owe it to themselves, to either make good these charges, or have the candor to withdraw them. He asks for a thorough and impartial investigation, and it is but a mere act of justice, that it should be ac corded him. . MEMORIAL RAY. ' The most subline virtue that can . adorn the human character is charity, and it is in no spirit of animosity that we assemble to place flowers on the last resting place of those wEo, in life, we loved, and in whose death we all suffered a common bereave ment Their noble deeds and heroic- . deaths arc common heritage of our people, and it is hut right that we should always cherish the memories ,of the men whose matchless valor dias shed undying lustre upon their country and their State. 'They have not died in vain, for we shall yet reap the fruits of their great sacri fice. Nothing but the consciousness .<>f a righteous cause could have nerved the arm and inspired the heart of our Confederate soldiers, and it is a sacred duty, we owe to .ourselves and our noble dead, to see that he has his proper place in his tory; and we would he recreant to the truest instincts of manhood if we al lowed, without indignant protest, the word traitor to he applied to those who sealed their devotion with their .hearts blood. The loud clangor of war has ceased, the Angel of Peace broods over our whole land, our des tinies are one, and there is but one .country for us all; and while we for- ( e\ er, in the deepest recesses of our hearts, cherish the memories of our gallant dead, let us put aside the Litter memories of the war; let strife and discord cease, as one people unite to advance the moral welfare and material prosperity of our fair land. And when, on these anniversaries, we assemble to strew their graves with flowers, may our hearts he free from bitterness and hate; may we, amid these reminders of the death of our most cherished hopes, lift up our hearts, for guidance and direction, to Him who holds in His hand the des tinies of us all, and in whose mercy i r.d wisdom we must ever trns f . “Peace in Uie whirring marls.
