This was perhaps the in *llfl ontiro ormv in uuiy vrUIIJtMUJjr m nit viivuv ?.? which there were no promotions, the captain persistently refusing all promotions on account of not wanting to leave his company. The new artillery company was attached to the Washington Light Artillery, Hampton's Legion, making a battalion under command of Stephen D Lee. Mr Jacobs served with his company until the close of the war, and in the army of Northern Virginia Until the battle of Gettysburg. In this engagement they lost so many men that they were sent back to South Carolina for the purpose of recruiting. After this they served along the South Carolina coast in e great many engagements until the evacuation of Charleston, when they were sent to join Joseph T-. T .?A ?, Hi donnsion s armj iu nuuu lina. They remained with his army until after the battles of Averysboro and Bentonville, when the company was detached and sent to escort Gen James Conner to Camden, S C, and reinstate him in his command at that place. Upon arrival at Camden the news was received of Johnston's surrender at Greensboro, and the members of the company were furloughed, with the understanding that the war was over and they would not have to report again. Th? mar hpinor now dosed. Mr Jacobs was paroled at Charleston, and soon came to Kingstree, where he engaged in business, first as a clerk and next on his own acconnt. In 1870 he was elected Probate Judge of Williamsburg county, serving six years, and in 1876 was elected Sheriff and filled that office four years. Next he was appointed chief inspector of customs for the port of Charleston, which position he resigned after two years to accept a lucrative place as bookkeeper. In 1895 he returned to Kingstree and engaged !r? tViQ murnantilo hn?inp?fi In 1897 he was appointed postmaster,serving 16 years.

Mr Jacobs was a member of Camp Pressley, U C V, at Kingstree. While in the army of Northern Virginia he was in all the prominent battles, beginning with the Seven Days' fight, Second Manassas, Sharpsburg, Wilderness and Gettysburg. At the latter battle his company was on the extreme right of the Confederate line and was completely surprised by a detachment of Kilpatrick's Federal cavalry, who had broken through the skirmish lines; but they repulsed the cavalry and saved the Confederate wagon trains, for which they received the thanks oi ueneraj i^ee. The funeral services of the Hebrew faith were held at the home of the family at 10 o'clock, conducted by Rabbi Isaac Marcusson of Charleston, after which all that was mortal of the true father, friend and citizen, Mr Louis Jacobs, was laid to rest in a grave by the side of that of his cherished wife in the Williamsburg cemetery in the solemn presence of a large concourse of friends and Masonic brethren, who attended in a body, Wednesday morning. Mr Jacobs was a prominent Mason, and to his work and influence the existence of the Kingstree lodge is greatly indebted. But some time ? ? ^ La <*aai1aaf/vl f Lnf priur tu iiis ucaui nc icvjucoicu uiow only the ode of the Masonic burial service be recited, and this was done while the grave was being filled. About the casket was draped the old company flag of Bachman's battery, as a member of which Mr Jacobs had so faithfully served his adopted Southland. Although many times rent with shot and shell, and discolored by time, Mr Jacobs cherished this old emblem of the past, and the color-bearer of his company, Mr A W .lagers, who now owns the flag, brought it here to place upon the bier of his departed comrade. The unusually large and beautiful floral tributes served as a small testimonial of the love and esteem in which the deceased was held by the people of the community and his fraternal brethren, and the mem bers of the order of the Eastern Star, of which he was also a true friend and supporter. The ritualistic services of the Jewish church at the house were profoundly impressive and the discourse of Rabbi Marcusson on the life of Mr Jacobs was eloquent and appropriate. At the grave ,be simply committed the body to the earth. Among those attending the funf ^ THE PLAY The Piano that anyone in ti prices and easy terms. Let o Samuel D.
