HONOR HEROES OF CLARENDON. j WITH IMPRESSIVE CEREMONY COUNTY SHOWS ITS LOVE FOR OLD SOLDIERS. Manning, July 15:?The ceremonial unveiling of the Clarendon county Confederate monument here today attracted an immense throng of people from all sections of the county and a feeling of patriotic enthusiasm seemed to pervade the entire assemblage. i A band from Charleston was present and furnished excellent music at intervals throughout the exercises of the day. The first feature was an automobile parade in which about twoscore cars took part, taking for a j ride over town all the veterans , present, about 50 in number, the speakers of the day, the ladies composing the monument committee and t^e little girls who had been ; selecteu to draw the cards at the , unveling of the statue. J H Lesesne, Esq, presided and introduced the speakers,who were Jno J McSwain, Esq, of Greenville and Col James Armstrong of Charleston. The addresses were of an unusually high order and were heard with great interest. The business houses of the town closed during the exercises. The monument, beautifully symmetrical and chaste in design, is 26 feet high and consists of a triple base, a die containing inscriptions < on all four sides, a shaft bearing in raised sculpture, a Confederate flag dropping from a broken staff and the whole surmounted by a statue representing a young soldier standing at parade rest with an old-time muzzle loading musket. The ma-; terial of the monument is Winns-1 born granite, except the statue, j which is of Italian marble. The inscription on the four sides of the i die are all in raised lettering and are intended to be read progres-; sively from north to east, south and i west. On the base of the north | side is inscribed in ornate capitals:} "Our Heroes," while above on the [ north face of the die is this inscription: ^ , "Erected To the soldiers from Clarendon 1. County who served in the war for Southern Independence, j Charlestonl861. Appomattox 1865." I On the east side of the die is the1 following inscription: i "Hope, like the eastern sun, rose i bright in the heart of the Southern-I: er for home government and the j i Confederate States of America. < Contending against armies over- 1 whelming in numbers and with re- i sources inexhaustible, he fought with patriotism undaunted, and onnntrv ?nPY(*pllpd in hlS tory. Unawed by fear of defeat, he defended the sacredness of home and the sovereignity of his State." | Then on the south side is the fol lowing inscription: 1 "Not to disrupt a righteous union 1 or a true republic did the Confede- J rate soldier take up arms, but to de- i fend cherished principles of civil I rights did he leave his all to do ^ battle unto death. Though over- ^ powered by force he was unbroken c in spirit; offering his life as a * crowning sacrifice he faced the fate of war; unconquered in defeat; undismayed in Divine faith; undiscouraged in hope for the future. Untiring in rebuilding." f Finally on the west side the fol- , lowing inscription appears; r "In 1914 when this memorial is t erected to the Confederate soldiers, j when the sun of life of the few who j remain hovers in the western horiz- t on; as we view their patriotism 8 through half a century past; as the t time stage of their deeds recedes, j their lustre brightens. Generations f unborn will proudly claim their an- c cestry. Many answered the last j roll call in battle; others have an- j swered since; the remaining few f must soon answer. Their memory ( lives. Peace, Reverence, Union!" j These several inscriptions were c written by J H Lesesne, a loyal son c of the Confederacy, to whom is due jthe credit for the inception and ? most of the earlier work looking to q the erection of the monument. The j work was finally carried to success- c ful completion by a special committee of devoted, patriotic women c 4 composed as follows: Mrs Joseph j Sprott, chairman; Mrs F 0 Rich- i ardson, secretary; Mrs D M Brad* ] ham, Mrs C B Gieger and Misses j Ria Lee Bowman, Augusta Appelt t and E^na Brockington. As it stands completed the monument is j beautifully situated on the court . house grounds facing the street to j the north. r i: 8 ( The one-idea man is one who fool- / ishly permits all ideas but those of ' his own crowded out.

While Dr E T Kelley was enjoying the smoker given at the Kellahan Hotel Friday night he received a 'phone message from Andrews to come there as soon as possible to attend a patient. The Doctor left Kingstree about 12 o'clock that , ?: ?u. U.o fn'ontu.tu-n hnnHrpf) III 11 W 111 UIO U'^CUlJ-VffV IIMMV.. wv. pound Hupmobile. When crossing , the swamp ahout nineteen miles from Kingstree he saw lying across the road ahead of him what he at first supposed to be a big log. Running his car closer to the ob- ! structiofl he discovered that it was a monster alligator. He got out of his car and, procuring a fence rail, attempted to urge the reptile out of the road by administering several heavy blows. This, however, did not seem to disturb the old fellow's rest, so the doctor got back into his car and driving ahead full speed ran his car upon the monster. Then, with the front wheels of the car on his back,the old 'gator began to rear and squirm and bellow, rocking the par about as if it were a light bug gy. The car finally got over, but one of the tires was badly torn. Dr Kelley say9 that while using the rail on the reptile it made a swipe at him with its big tail, the force of which created such a swish as the blow barely passed him that he was afraid longer to apply the rail, and decided to run over him with his car. but being so large it was hard to get the wheels over his back. Dr Kelley says he would have driven around the old Saurian, but its great length left no room for passage on either side of the road. After the car had passed over the 'gator it moved on across the road to wend its way into the vastness of ' the swamp. Holnprnnnn Hanneninns.
