THURSDAY. MAY 12. 1910.
Memorial Day, 1910.
Memorial D a y, 1910, has
passed into history. It was a
glorious occasion; an epoch in the
.annals of Kingstree and Williamsburg,
and no citizen of our grand
old county who attended the unveiling
could help hut feel a thrill
of pride that lu^ was taking part
% in so splenth*" a memorial to the
^Cbmfed crate'" soldier. Other naone
Ve ')et'n erected, their
towering iit*, the azure
** aIn,ost tu l>ic re the blue
<]o Me heaven itself?magnificent
fi'** !,,arhle ^.uid bronze
fepr?'8? eos^ many times
greater than we were able to afford,
even though every citizen
jk of our county contributed; but
we feel safe in saying that few
Memorial shafts have been built
thajt represent more loyal, unswerving,
tireless and self-sacrificing
effort than was put forth
by the Daughters of the Confederacy
of Williamsburg to accomsolish
a purpose that almost every
k <one^ -regarded as impracticable.
1- ?? S. i.:A: ,, u?
j A very wormy uiiuuuuu,
most >f those who voiced an
F -opinion, "l?ut the monument that
W we could afford to build would
r<St, not be creditable either to the
-county or to the cause for which
" it stool." Hut the "Daughters"
never despaired; a handful of des
voted women had achieped greater
things than this, and they went
resolutely to work, year in and
out, the word "fail" being
' eliminated from their vocabulary,
and as the president of the chapI
<rr, in her speech of presentation
I ?odest!y stated: "There stands
f before you the fruit of our efforts."

A Great Newspaper.
The citizens of Kingstree nr.protesting
indignantly against the
tacit affront put upon them hy
nmroint*- nowsnaner.
the News and Courier, 1 >y utterly
k ignoring in- its columns the imh
veiling or the monument to the
W s ddiers of the Confederacy, which
t<rt>k place here on Memorial Day.
On Wednesday morning the News
and Courier was filled with reports
"f Memorial Day exercises
from the different towns of the State,
hut not a word from Kingstree,
wheje, in addition to the usual
exercises of the day, a twentyfive
1^ dred dollar monument was
up Ju the presence of hefa
Itween two thousand and tliree
! thousand people, many of whom
I were visitors from other counties.
| The orator of the day was Col.
i James H. Armstrong, a distinguished
Charlcstonian, and even
[the music was furnished hy
'Charleston musicians, the famou*
; First Artillery hand of Fort Moultrie,
whose services cost the Da ughters
of the Confederacy tin
modest little sum of SloO.CO.
The Evening Post sent a special
reporter up here to write up tin
Memorial Day exercises and, wi
understand, the telegrapher through
mistake sent the article to the
News and Courier office. Thai
enterprising newspaper, thinking
it came from its local correspondent
tired lmck a telegram of ecu
sure for sending them such stufl
by wire. That, of course, wiu
calculate*! to check the enthusiasm
of the local correspondent and
nothing was sent.
In the cool insolence of its assumed
power and greatness this
big metropolitan newspaper has nc
patience or sympathy with the
affairs or the people of a sniallei
town scarcely half a hundred
miles distant, whose business men
are feeders of almost every legitimate
enterprise in Charleston and
who have a right to look to thai
city and its institutions for a fail
and lil>era! spirit of reciprocity.

j -A Rare Old Violin.
Bethel, May 10:?vOur section was
I visited yesterday, May 9, by a most
1 welcome and refreshing rain, which
! has greatly improved crop cor.'
ditions. Cotton that was up suffered
right much from the cold, some
had to be planted again. Tobacco
looks very discouraging, most of the
'; plants having died from effect of
j the cold and lack of moisture.
Oats has suffered also, but with
sufficient rain can make a good
crop yet. Several of our farmers
have planted wheat and are looking
1 foward to having "home-made
^ biscuits" soon. The cropse<msto
t be doing fine, being now almost
, in full head. Among those who are
planting wheat are: G F Williamson,
C L Burgess, G W Burgess, W
' H McElveen, J T Frierson and R
"l C McElveen. A good many farmers
> have planted corn on the "Williami
son plan" and are looking foward
[ to a big yield.
Warren Mouzon was badly cut by
Jackson Knight on last Saturday.
Both parties are colored. Knight
1 took "leg bail" immediately.
> The census man came around this
> week and is making a call at e-xry

^ the remarks m*de by some of the
coiored W about him.

An old violin taken out of pawn
I many years ago, now owned by Mr
H A Kennedy, dates back to 1736.
The writer copied the following
" j printed on a piece of linen, or
II paper, inside just under the bridge:
1 "Antonius Stradivarius Cremonenfis
Faciebat Anno, 1736." Mr Editor,
1 give us the translation.
1 Bethel.
A liberal translation of the inscription
referred to would be,
"Made by Antonio Stradivarius at
Cremona, in the year 1736." The
Stradivarius violin is one of the
most rare and valuable instruments
of the kind and the specimen in Mr
Kennedy's possession should be
worth considerable, if a genuine
Stradivarius. Only a few weeks ago
one was picked up in a Charleston
pawn-shop which experts have estimated
to be worth $1,500.?Editor

he killed himself accidentally or
i committed suicide.
Peter Kennedy, a farmer living
on the line between Union and
Spartanburg counties, was shot and

Gregg's Regiment, Co. B, S. C. V.
We are indebted to Maj E R Lesesne
of Greelyville, an enthusiastic
veteran, for the following information:
The first company that went from
Williamsburg was Co B, S C V,
Gregg's Regiment, composed of 103
members. Of this company, which
went forth to battle for their country
on January 4, 1861, only twelve
survive, viz: J A Montgomery, S I
Mnntgomery, W J Ferrell, E P
Montgomery, T E Ragin, E R Lesesne,
G K Mitchum, J H Bradham,
J A Bradham, J C Tisdale, Calhoun

Maj Lesesne also informed us that
the first blood shed in the war probably
was spilled in Kingstree in the
fall of 1860, when Mr Levy Young
shot off a finger while assisting in
hoisting a flag from the corner lot
opposite Stackley's store.
