CEREMONIES AT THE MONUMENT.
The mellow notes of the town bell had
scarcely toled the hour of noon, when the
sound of drums, which had been hushed for a
short time, could be heard again on all sides.
A few minutes later the troops came up to the
stand with colors flying and bands gaily
playing martial music The W. l.. I. formed
in hollow square on the right of the stand,
and the colors, consisting. Of the historic Eu.
taw flag and the Boston Centennial banner,
wefe borne to the stage and given promi-
nent place at the side of the Speakers desk
The Eutaw flag was borne by F. H. Honour,
the treasurer Of the w. L. l., and the Boston
colors were borne by Mr.. F. P. Salas, an old
member of the w. L. /. These two gentle
men, with ex Capt. Courtenay and Campbell
Douglas, were present as the survivors in this
State of the delegation of the w. L. l., who,
in 1856, made the pilgrimage to the battle field
of Cowpens, and at that time erected monu.
ment to the memory of the heroes of that
battle. The other troops were massed in
front and on the side of the stand, and the
multitude of civilians stretched out as far as
the eye could see north, SOUTH east and west,
to the back and to the front. On the house
tops, on the balconies, on the tiers of seats in
the windows, everywhere an endless sea of
people met the gaze. Old men and young
men, white and black, in all conceivable
dresses old matrons, young girls and little
children, all crowded together, forming a
dense background to the solid phalanx Of sol.
diers which closely surrounded the stand.
On the speakers stand sat Governor John
ston Hagood, the president, with the Hon.
VIM. A. Courtenay, the chairman of the
committee, and the officers of the occasion.
On his right was seated Governor Jarvis, Of
North Carolina, and on his left appeared the
Hon. Thomas w. Higgiuson, Of Massachu-
setts In their rear sat Senators Lawrence
and Francis, and Representatives Van Cleeff
and Lawrence, the New Jersey committee.
To the left of these, arrayed in his clerical
robes, the Rev. Dr. A. 1oomer Porter, the
chaplain of the Washington Light Infantry,
was seated. To the rear appeared Gen. H. l..
Hunt, U. S. A., and Lieut.. Baldwin, Of the
Fifth United States Artillery; Lieut.. Daniel
Morgan Taylor, Gen. Manigault the officers
of the parading commands, Judge Bryan, the
Rev. DR.. Junkin, Judge Joseph Christian, of
the Supreme Court of Virginia, and Cols
Buford and Cabell, of Virginia, representing
that State on the occasion Congressman
John S. Richardson and j. H. Evins, State
Senators Gaillard, Moore, Lartigue, Jeter
and Callison, Representatives Hemphill, Yer
ner, Rucker and Allen, and a host of other
prominent visitors. Among the latter was
Mr.. John Fielder, one hundred and one years
of age, who was born in this county and re-
sided here for seventy years, but who is now
resident Of Laurens county. Forming a
bright and pleasing picture in the throng upon
the stand, were the eight young ladies of Rev
outionary ancestry who were to assist in the
unwilling of the statue, and these were ac-
companied by Mrs. Trust, the mother of Miss
Graham, who is the great granddaughter Of
Daniel Morgan, and Mrs. Morgan Taylor,
