It is illustrious roll, and marks great achie meat and patriotic devotion. ' We are glad the people of the Soi nave not forgotten the Lost Cause, a that old Charleston and her gallant c seas have not forgotten who they ; and what the survivors of the Goofed ate army, as represented by them, ha to remember. The hunger, the th ir tbs exposure, the wounds, and t awful . deaths, have not gone from t memory of the survivors, and. G bless them, they are doing what th can to keep io everlasting memory tin dead comrades. * Jefferson Davis should be remeniix "nd always and should have a great sto 3s mark hts work and his worth ; b ' the subordinate officer and even t private soldier should have a place the. history and upo o the landmarks their country, as they have plac equally with the great leaders, - in tl -warm and throbing hearts of their oot Tades. We hear men sometimes belittlir the efforts of old soldiers-and they a cow nearly all-old-who have sacrifie* and forgotten themselves and their nee? to keep in renae ??be rance the comrad who died by their sides, bat God forb that the heart of aoy South Carol i DIS shall ever cease to beat more quick! or 5is lips tremble less feelingly, wht he hears the roll call of his departe comrades, or stoops to shed a tear whi ho stands hy thei r graves ! Sooth Carolinians are better off tba tT""v>" -, for many years after the wai Lue u J prosperity can ever be so dazzlio as to outshine tbe glory of the pas Her citizens may be eager in politics rivalry and flashed with the excitemei and anxiety of business schemes an promts, but may the day never com when there shall not be room enough i their minds for the sacred memory of past filled with heroism and spar kl ic, with the knightliest chivalry. - The shafts that call to e verlast in; ttemory the noble dead shall still b raised, hot tears of sorrow shall stii fall, and the grateful hearts of a nob! people shall still praise the iii us tri ou patriots whose death was in vaia for ail except to typify the highest virtue of J noble people. Mt. Ves a vi as has been quite active re? cently and there have been several earth? quakes in the vicinity. It is feared that tbe.greatest eruption of the century ic imminent. The inhabitants of the sur? rounding country have fled panic strick? ten from their homes. Yesterday, Joly 21st, was the 30th anniversary of the first battle of Manas ?as, and. it witnessed the unveiling oi Valentines heroic bronze statue of Stone? wall Jackson, at Lexington, Va. The diatoe rests on a granite pedistal ten faet high and is eight feet high, represen? ting' Jackson as looking over a battle field holding bis field glasses in his right hand with his left resting on the handle of his sword. The statue has been pronounced a strikiug likeness of ?he great soldier and a superb work of art. Gen. Jubal A. Earley was the orator of the occasion. Thai's a nice little .-cherae the Clemson trustees have deviaed to have them? selves remembered a few years after they -have gone the way of all fi ?sh. Not only do they wish to have their names recorded in lettered marble as the old fashioned epitaph usually bas it, bat they want generations unborn to know the appearence of their physi? ognomies also. So they have solemnly decided to place their photographs within the corner stone. Placed in the form of a circle with Tillman's in the ceuter, rt wilt be a symbolic reminder of the Tillman ring. The Georgia Ailianee had a grand rally at Piedmont Park, Atlauta, on last Wednesday. The Legislature adjourned, and all the State e-?ioials attended, except Gov. Northen, who, though a member of the Alliance, was not invited, because he and Boss Liv? ingstone do oot agree concerning tbe proper manner of filling his office. The meeting was largely attended and was addressed by Gen. Greenback Weaver, Jerry Simpson, Hon. Th os E Watson, Pres. L. F. Livingstone, and the whilom evangelist Utah University President Sam Smalls. All made strong third party speeches, and Weaver was decidely socialistic iu some of bis utterances. Senator Butler bas received a chal? lenge from President Stokes, of the Alliance to meet him at Prosperity on the 29th inst., the day of the alliance pic nie at that place, and enter into a joint discussion of the sub-treasury bill. The challenge has been accepted. The Senator, as is generally known is strong in his opposition to the measure-, but frays that it is prober that the bill should be discussed fre?Jy aod fully berore the people, and he ii ready to meet any of its advocates io' debate upou the subject. / A Splendid Showing. Look at the statement of the Sitnonds Na tsonal Bank ibis week. For the moment'it makes one forget hard times. The Bank is certainly in a very prosperous condition and we wish there was more room to notice some special features whice commend them? selves in this excellent statement. A Day in Camp Morgan. SPARTA.N'BURG, S. C., July 2, 1891. Dear IF. ?j- S : "Post No. 5, 5 o'clock ! All's well !" This is the musical cry which hour by hour through the night-with the proper variation of "po9t" and number of clock-announces to the drowsy tent-dwellers of Camp Morgan the happy progress of time. The camp-fires dimly reveal beneath the dark foliage of the white, red a:ad post oaks, the rows of white tents where most of the corps of Citadel cadets lie asleep. Around the camp the continuous tread of tbe sentinels may be heard; from the first hour of camp life until the tents shall be struck for departure, there is no moment that their feet are not beating the linea. A day in camp begins with the sunrise boom from a 3-iach Parrott gun, and reveille souoded by drum and fife. The State colors surmounted by a U. S. Pennant are then floated to the breeze from the top of the flag? staff on the parade ground. Shortly after? wards, the camp is ready for inspection-beds properly placed and like Jerusalem, the space in front of each dwelling made clean by the inhabitants thereof This crisp air of the Piedmont hills would improve the appetite of any one but a cadet, and it fails in this case only because a cadet's appetite is always at its superior limit. Bursar White's long table protected from the SfA only by an awning of ' flies" (the pest by the same name is happily absent) is, con? sequently the sceue of great activity. After breakfast, if there be those who imagine they need the attention of the surgeon, they are entertained at the hospital tent, where an apothecary shop with scales, spatulas, cap? sules, bandages', and all the necessary drugs are neatly arranged. Guard-mounting is a very pretty ceremony and is conducted in full dress with the full brass band of seventeen musicians brought by the cadets for the sole purpose ot furnish? ing music for the camp. It takes a better informed man than yonr correspondent to account for all the cadets during these busy happy days. The Spartan bur? people are so ''taking" in their hospi? tality and attention that a patrol of the entire city would be nececessary to find all the gray coat3 and brass buttons that are luxuriating in the delightful bornes of these delightful people. Nobody in the world could fall mote gracefully, or as if it were a matter of just desert, into the palaces-not* by the fireside, for it is summer-but on the verandahs, in the hammocks, at the tables especially, and in the carriages of these people, than the cadets. In the afternoon, there is a rendezvous of the people at the parade, which is the eveBt of the day. It is there that the beauty of the Spartan city and the young chivalry of South Carolina meet nt their best and happiest. Nature lends the sweet dreaminess of twilight, when white dresses and bright eyes and soft glances are most irresistible. To-raorrow a smooth dancing floor will be laid in the grove beneath the oak?, and at this sweet hour the trotes of the waltz and the schottische will invite to the worship of terpsichore. "Soon as the shades of eve prevail," the challenging of the sentinels is beard, and the lights begin to glimmer in tent and shade. At such time the sound of flute and banj ; io camp, with the voices of those cadets gifted with them is not unusual nor unpleasant. And such xs a day in Camp Morgan viewed superficially. There is a deeper view-lesa pleasant, full, of orders to be learnt, instruc? tions to carry out, weary watches to endure. But these are the object of the encampment and are taken as a matter of course. If the weather permits, it is anticipated that the Corps will be treated to an experience of life on the m-ircb and in bivouac. The historic battlefield of Cowpens is just a day's journey, and it is probable that it will be visited before Camp Morgan is finally deserted. [The above was written and put in type for the last paper but was crowded out by other j matter.-Ed J Siuce my last letter the encampment has cone to an end, and the faculty and cadets bave gone to their homes, carrying with them the memory of work and pleasure, and the hospitable entertainment by the Spartan burg people, that will linger long in their recollections. The encampment was a complete succ?s?, fulfilling the ends for which it WHS instituted. That it was a mere frolic, at the State'9 ex? pense, is a inistaken idea. While it was recre? ation and enjoyment for all concerned, as it was a change and relief frota the regular routine Citadel life, still the encampment was nothing more than the continuation, or com? plement ot the work done at the" Citadel. By it the cadets were taught the practical part of soldier life, the duties and habits of camp life. Here they were taught.many things impossi? ble to have been learned in the school room, and it is the purpo?e of the institution to train meu, who, shoa.d the Stale ever ueed the ser? vices of traiued soidiers, will be able to serve her. The entertainment extended to officers and cadets by the people of Spartanburg is proof that the spirit of open-hearted hospitality, for which the Old South was noted ia not dying out with the development of what it pleases some people to call the New South. There were committees appointed to receive and en? tertain the encampment, but the whole people resolved themselves into a committee of recep? tion and entertainment and well did they per? form that duty. Upou arrival the corps wa3 met at the depot, the officers taken in carriages, and the cadets marched to Converse College, where a banquet was in readiness, which was served immediately to the tired and hungry soldiers. , From this time until the last light was extin? guished after the dance on the last night of . our stay, there was a continuous round of receptions, dinings, dances and other atten? tions provided for the entertainment of mem? bers of the S. C. M A. The boys did not have time to think what a good time they were having, until it WK3 all over, but then they thought and understood Of course the young ladies could not pay any attentions lo the boys, but they were present in force, and that was sufficient for them. A cadet asks ?otbing more than to have a girl in sight and freedom to follow his inclinations. When it wa3 time to break camp and leave cmr hospitable entertainers, all regretted the necessity, and united in extending sincere thanks and assurances of appreciation for their efforts, and many hope lo camp in the same place agait n?-xt year. ltThe Shelter of the Silver Cross." MONCMKNTUM JUKE PKREN.NIUS. A short ride from Wilmington, N. C., on a Sea Coast train takes ibe visitor to the H-.m mocksaud Ucean Point Between these two placed, as the train glides along the Eastern shore of Wrigbisvilie Souhd, it passes within a tew rods ol a pUin and unpretentious build? ing, in from of which appears in large letters the legend : "The Shelter of li.e Silver Cross." Built on the narrow strip of land which alone intervenes between the Atlantic and the Sound, it commands a full view, and enjoys the benefi's, of both. It is maintained i by "The Ministering Circle of Kings Daugb ? ters" of Wilmington, of which Mrs C. H. j Kitig is the PiesideM, und Miss Sue Cum ! ming is Secretary. The Circle Imsonlv about j twenty members, but from the result of their labors they must t-e workers, greatiy endow? ed with brain ami vim, as weil a3 chanty. The lady in charge of the shelter is Mrs. Fannie Hayes, who seems to be a model housekeeper und nurse with first claps admin? istrative talent Invited ny her to an tnspec tion of this noble retreat, the visitor could not fail to admire the perfect order and clean? liness'every v. h< re apparent, and the ample arrangements made for the comfort of her guesis. The fl >ors were spotless, linen srtow ! winle, and air pure and invigorating, the sea breeze finding a free passage through eVf-rv room. The dining room, pantry und larder gave evidence of an abundant supply of creature comfort?; and the guests of the bous*?. Selected every ?eek .'rom the deserving poor of ?be city, were et? j-M ing ?? Il the advan? tage of a well-aopointed sen-shlr watering place "wi bout m-"ie\ and without price."

The ' tdiv was sparkling and brilliant, type of "'bat j ? eternal day."' "What thc wild waves w-re j saying," as they came racing and curling in milky foam upon tbe shore, we cared not to ask. But we felt that in aud.by this noble charily, some people were building monu? ments for themselves more lasting than mar? ble or metnl, and which will receive the last touches from the King himself, when be shall say iu that day: "Inasmuch as ye bave done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto ile." J. J. FLEMING. Sumter, S. C. Salem Dots. SALEM, S. CV, Joly 20, 1891. Fine rains in this sect;cn fur the last few days have refreshed the crops and made the farmers feel more cheerful. Ina great many instances corn was suffering and will be V?ry short; but where it was properly cultivated, the rains are in time to make a fair yield.' Cotton is very promising where it has been kept freeof grass, but a number of fields arestill grassy and cannot make an average crop with most favorable seasons from now on. On the whole, I think the cotton crop of this section will be not more than 75 per cent, to 80 per cent, of an average. Potatoes and peas are good. Several farmers are realizing nice little sums from the sale of watermelons. Some of them are fine. Mr. Wm E. Mills sold a lot on Friday that ranged from 41 to 48 lbs. The congregation of Brick Church have given their pastor Rev. W. J. McKay, D. D a short vacation which he will spend with his little son, Wilson, at Cleveland Springs and the mountains of Western, N. C. This < Church, and Concord, where he preaches on alternate Sunday afternoons, will be closed for the next four Sabbaths. Mrs Joel Brunson of your city bas recover? ed from her recent illness and is visiting her father, Dr. J. A. Mayes. The choir of the Mayesville Presbyterian Church will give a vocal and instrumental concert Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock in Masonic Hall. The reputation which it has acquired under the efficient leadership of Prof. H. Dickson Corbett, is a guarantee that the appreciative audience which will assemble ?here to-morrow night have a treat in store for them which will well repay the trouble of going out these short nights. Contractor McKinney is well on with the biggiu bouse for Messrs. A. J. Salinas & Sons, and will bave it completed by the opening of the cotton season.
