Hartsville, July 11,?William p.
Woodward, agent for the Atlantic
C<?ast Line railroad in this city, dis?
appeared last evening immediately af?
ter an official of the American Surety
company of New York caused a war?
rant to be issued for his arrest, charg?
ing him with having embezzled $6,000
belonging to the railroad company.
The shortage was discovered by Trav?

accounts of this agency. The accus?
ed has been connected with the rail?
road company here for 15 years, dur?
ing which time he enjoyed an excel?

feet six or seven inches, black hair,

FIRE IN SPARTANBTJRG.

Spartanburg, July, 12.?A fire en?
tailing a loss of about $16,000 occurr?
ed In the Spartanburg mill village to?
day, destroying completely three
store buildings with heavy stocks of
goods and two dwelling houses. There
was about $5,000 Insurance on the
property destroyed. Lack of water
pressure caused the fire to spread. For
a time no water could be had at all,
and the firemen were almost helpless.
When the water did come the steam
firs engine was put into service and
the firemen fought like demons
against the seething mass of flames.
The only thing that saved the entire
mill village from being swept from
one end to the other, as it was by
the fire of last March a year ago, was
that there was very little wind.

APPEAL FOR ORGANIZATION.
Suns of Confederate Veterans Beek
to Revive Interest in Order.
United Sons of Confederate Veter
anj, Headquarters Bouth Carolina
Division.
Lexington, S. C.
To the Sons of Confederate Veterans:
Comrades: At a meeting of a spe?
cial committee, appointed by the
South Carolina Division United Sons
of Confederate Veterans, which was
held In Columbia June 3d, the under?
signed were appointed a sub-com?
mittee to prepare an address to
those in South Caroline who have
the right to Join the organization
known as "United Sons of Confed?
erate Veterans."
AH male persons are eligible to
membership in this order who are
themselves of good moral character
and who are the direct descendants
of men who were regularly enrolled
In the army or the navy of the Con?
federate States of America, and who
were killed or died In the service, or
were honorably discharged there?
from, or who served to the end of
the war.
It seems that It should not be nec?
essary to urge upon one, whose an?
cestors had a part In the glorious
record for courage, endurance and
patriotic devotion to duty made by
the soldiers and sailors of the Con?
federacy, the duty to join an organi?
sation designed to perpetuate the
story of their heroic deeds, and to
preserve for the future historian the
Information upon which shall be
predicated a truthful history of the
motives which led them to war, and
of their conduct In the prosecution
of that war. The Society of Cincin?
nati, the Sons of the Revolution, the
Astec Club, and similar organizations
are designed to perpetuate the mem?
ory of those who served their coun?
try in the cause of freedom, and the
maintenance of the honor and in?
tegrity of the government. Mem?
bership in these organizations has
come to be a badge of honor, much
sought after by those entitled to it.
The day will come! Aye. It has al?
ready come, when to be known as
a son of a Confederate veteran is a
distinction which brings the proud
blood to the cheeks of him who may
claim it. As the years go by and the
world knows more and more of the
marvelous history of the greatest
armies that ever fought under any
banner, this distinction becomes more
and more honorable. Is it not then
a simple duty of those who inherit
the fame of the Confederate soldier
to take all necessary steps to per?
petuate that fame, and to do honor
to his name?
It has been determined to organize
a central camp to be known as
Camp South Carolina. United Sons
of Confederate Veterans, so that
those who live in communities where
no local camps are established may
join this general camp. Indeed, any
one may join it It is desired that
there shall be a grand revival of in?
terest in this order and that at the
reunion which Is to be held in
Greenville August 8th there shall be
a great gathering of the Sons of
Veterans. To this end we earnestly
urge the organization of local camps
and the reorganization of those
which have been allowed to fall into
a condition of dis-organizatlon. If
it be impossible to organize or re?
organize these camps, then let all
Sons of Veterans join the central
camp, Camp South Carolina; but
above all, let there be a great out?
pouring of the Sons of Veterans at
I Greenville, whether they be members
of any camp or not.
Comrades, shall we call In vain?
Shall we appeal In vain to your
pride of ancestry? To the veneration
for your forefathers? To your ad?
miration for courage, fortitude and
devotion to duty? Are you unmind
full of the wonderful heritage if
honor and glory which is yours, and
are you unmindful of the sublimity
of the duty which devolves upon you
to perpetuate the fame of those who
won this undying honor? We do not
believe it. We have faith that the
spirit which made your sires illus?
trious as patriotic soldiers, as he?
roes, burns and lives in your breasts
and will manifest itself in the de?
termination to do the duty which lies
before you. Let us all meet at
Greenville August 8, 1908, prepared
in spirit and in enthusiasm to put
our organization upon the highest
plane of unselfishness and efficiency.
Sincerely yours,
M. L. Ronham,
M. L. Smith,
Hugh R. Murchison,
