MEMORIAL DAY SERVICES. The Graves Of the Confederate Heroes Decorated With Plow ers and Immortels. Memorial Day with the pns? i>fr years has become not the ess sacred to the people of the South-old and young, from the hoary headed veteran, who will soon re3t peacefully beneath the sod on fame's etern ! camping ground, to the si liest maid, wbo?e ri ny hands so tenderly lay ibe .flowers of spring on the graves of those who fell on the smoke shrouded bloody field of battle. May the lOtbis a day "apart from other days, a day consecrated to the herkes who died, and to the memories of an heroic era ia the history of the South. A Memorial Day, indeed, rut not a memorial cf sorrow, for where in the rewords of history have a people felt such loyal pride, suco . evotion to the memories cf a cause th* t was !out in defeat? The services Monday afternoon were nota ble ia two respects, od were pregnant with suggestive ideas of what the Memorial day? of coming years will be, and suggestive also of the conviction that each May will be crowned with a. Memorial Day as surely ni the spring flowers bloom. The services were arranged and conducted by the Daugh tersof Confederates, and the oration WHS deliv ered bj a son of a Confederate. In other years the set ~!ces were conducted by the Ladies' Memorial Association, composed originally in the larse part of the wives, mothers and sisters of Confederates, but passinc years have made a change, and now the work has been taken up by the willing haods of the Daughters of the Co; federaey Io other yrars Confederate Veterans or their contemporaries have pronounced the Memorial oration, but Monday that honorable duty was performed ny a son cf a Confederate soldier who bas for long years answered to the roll call cf that silent army bivouacked be yond the grave. The veterans have perform ed their duty right loyally for more than thirty years, and so have tkeir mothers wives and ststers, HOW that duty has been assumed by their sons and daughters, and the future will bear witness of their loyalty. The flower girls formed in iine at the en trance of the cemetery and marched to the j Soldiers* plot and laid the wreaths of flowers on the graves The members of Camp D;ck J Anderson U. C V under command of Col o. D. Blasding turned our in full force and escorted the flower girls to the graves from the entrenes The piograme waa carried out es arranged -the choir sang the Memorial ode, and Rev S. B. Hillock offered a prayer and D. M. Vouig, Esq.. then delivered the annial Memorial address His subj ct was, "The Bravery of the. Confederate Private " Mr Youip spoke for twenty minutes only, but in that brief space paid a chaste, eicqoent and feeliog rrib.ute to the men who bote the brunt of the battle, bm who were not men tioned by name in the records of distinguish ed bravery, who were as true and as brave as those who achieved fame and gSlory by reason of their raok, and who died as wil lingly and uncomplaingly as any/soldiers of ny cause.

They do not claim to be original (but only the first in Sumter). The method is somewhat the same as that pursued by large firms in the North ern cities. It is, however, certainly the most effirctive, and produces better results, and at sao e time the customers receive ana derive more benefit from it than any other.

Amateur Production of Damon and Pythias a Triumph. With orchestra, parquet and first balcony filled with an expectant aod critical audience, the Academy of Music presented a scene of animation Monday evening butseidom beheld in Sumter, and that the amateurs scored a suc cess before such an audience is little short of marveloos, for tbe undertaking was a great one and difficult of successful accomplish ment. It was evident that while many of the audience boped for a creditable produc tion of the great drema, they wer not un prepared for something less than an artistic ! and dramatic success. The first 8ct was received rather coldly and the actors were, with few exceptions, some what nervous ar:d ill at ease. The curtain went down and there WHS merely a ripple of applause that. l ck?d the enthusiasm that bespoke eincere approval. But with the second act came a change and the applause was hearty and enthusiastic, for the spirit of enthusiasm b d taken hold upon j the actor- und they lost their nervousness in j their parts. The interest was sustained from sc?oe to scene und act to act until the grand clicunx of the lest act where the dramatic and timely arrival of Damon rescues from death beneath the headsman's axe his friend, Pythias. Mr. H. D. Moise, as Damon, enacted his part a3 if he were Damon, aod felt and thought as did the noble Senator of Syra cuse *hen brought to the test of choosing life for himself or for bis friend. For an amateur it was superbly and intelligently done, and this is said while mentally coo fasting his interpretatioo of the part with Frederick Ward and Robert Downing whom the writer bas bad the pleasure and privilege of seeing enact the role of Damon. Mr. Bartow Walsh was an excellent Py . thus and rose to the importance of the part with a forceful iotenpeaess that aroused the enthusiastic approval of the audience and made them reaiiza the memory of Pythian friendship and love in its fullest sense. Calantbe was impersonated by Mrs B. M. Lebby, whose instinctive dramatic talent and the training of an elocutionist enabled b<jr to play the leading female character of the drama with an e se and grace that achieved a moat marked success Miss Carrie Solomons as Hermion was graceful and natural, and made the most of the part, especially in the fourth act, where she wr s called upon to display the most intense fee ing and emjtioti. Mr. R. K Wilder played Dionysius, with the naturalness and ease that ha* charac terized his acting in other performances, and the entire support was remarkably harmo nious and excellent. The costumes were handsome and were as promised-correct copie? from the costumes of (beera of Damon aod Pythias What there was of crudity and roughness in the performance can br easily forgiven in amateur *, arni much ot it would be overeo : e and removed by greater familiarity with act icg before a l rge audirnce. Of course it would be au easy task io criticise the pro- , ucrioa and pick fl^v.-s, but :h -re ij no i < ceS8ity or so doing, tor it was, as has be^r; . ai<] before, H most decided *v.cce?s, and ?o ; much better than the most partial thought j possir-le, 'hat all were more thaa pleased. ; CAUGHT IN FLORIDA. j Commodore Council the Murderer cf Edmund Singleton Captured in Paiatka. Sheriff Pierson 'earned last week that Com- ! modore Coooci , who murdered Edmund ; Sir g eton in Rafting Crerk Township in ; February i893 and made his escape w.-is liv ins in P Htki. Fla.

Several years ago it was reported to ; the sheriff of the county that Council was ife !
