The Celebration at Cedar Grove Church

TowNy1LLE, s. c., Aug. IL 1885.
3fr. Editor :: The Cedar Grove and Smith
Chapel Sunday Schools of this Township,
and the Presbyterian school of this place,
held joint celebration and pic mic at
Cedar Grove Church last Saturday, the
18th inst, and the subscriber was request
ed by Mr.. ]. A. Hatcher, the efficient
uperintendent of the Cedar Grove School,
to send you some account of it.
Several hundred persons were present
and the occasion was one Of much pleas
uro and profit The exercises were
opened with reading from the Scriptures
by Mr.. T. ]. Browning. and prayer by Mr..
]. A. Hatcher.
The forenoon was devoted to singing on
the part Of tho schools, and to the reading
Of essays by members of tho Cedar Grove
School. Addresses were also made by
Mr.. George Hand, of the Cedar Grove
school, by the Rev. w. A. Hodges and by
Geo. L. Prince, Esq. Then came very
important part of the exercises of the
day, the hearty sampling of the choice
yiands brought out and spread by the good
women Of the community. This, with
watermelon dessert, erelong satisfied the
desires of the inner man, and the crowd
repaired to the stand, where after prayer
by Rev. w. A. Hodges an address was
delivered by the Hon. III. G. Scudday.
For an hour and eight minutes he held
the undivided attention of the audience
while he delivored7a most chaste, timely
and powerful speech. III characterizing
Mr.. Scudday's address as n grand, elo-
quent and successful effort, the writer
would not be understood as bestowing
fulsome praise, or as disparaging the ad

Mr. Scudday was followed by Mr..
Prince in another address of point and
force. Mr.. Prince is pleasing speaker
and most enthusiastic Sunday School
worker, con amorr.

able, as number of the survivors pres

render The main; object of the reunion
was for the purpose of pcrfecting acorrect
srollnf each Company, !, so that a record OF
the Companies could be placed on file in
the Atljutant Generll's olfico at Columbia.
at II O'clock the survivors met i'll q hall
in the Benson House, where twollD ur
more were spent most pleasantly i'll, per-
ffccting tho rolls and talking over camp
life.
All record OF Company L was lost at
5Farmville, Va, in April, 1865 conse-
the roll had to be made up from
smcinory. htr. sam'l Agnew, of Due
West, who was the Orderly Sergeant of
the Company at the surrender, was pres.
:ent, and had with him a roll that he had
made eTout from memory. He read the
comrades, succeeded lin getting a correct
roll ofsthe Company. TRe Company en-
tered the war with i33 members. OF this
number, 81 4werei killed in battle, u died
in the army, were lost in the army, and
III have died. since war, leaving IS suryi-
yors, 25 ofIRhom are known to have left
the State aud are. scattered from North

geant of Company G Mt the surrender,
stated to the survivors OF that Company
that he had from memory made out and.
.forwarle ed to- the Adjutant General roll
iofs his ConpanYssom time ago, and that
he did not have a copy of it with him.
His old comrades. however, gave him
some additional information, which he
will add to the record already filed.
Atl % clock the survivors and the rep
resentatives of the local press repaired to
the dining room of the Benson House,
where: q sumptuous dinner was served.
MIR. White is "a survivor of Company j.,
and of course knew how to cater to the
appetites Of his old comrades, who did full
justice to the meal.
~ After dinner the survivors again met.
Capt. P. *. Norris was called to the chair
and Mr.. VIM. McGukin requested to act
Sas Secretary. On motion, q committee Of

Restoration of Assayer Harrison.

The charges preferred some time since against
Mr.. Russell B. Harrison, assayer of the Office at
Helena, will be remembered by the Journal
readers, and also the fact that an investigation
of them, made by the department. resulted in
the thorough vindication of Mr.. Harrison. The
testimony taken was referred to Judge McCue,
Solicitor of the Treasury, whose report was laid
before the acting Secretary, Mr.. Fairchid. The
latter addressed letter to Mr.. Harrison, in
which he said:
SIN his report to he states that the testimony is
not of character to justify the charges and suggests
that no further action be had in the premises
II concur in the conclusion reached by him, and
have notified the Director of the Mint Very re-
specially, O. 5. FAIRCHILD, Acting Secretary"

been announced. and the appointment of Mr..

Mr.. Harrison, of course, will remain a citizen
of Montana, where he has large private interests
that demand his entire attention.

Damages Demanded for False Imprison men

Suit was dled in the Superior Court, yester-
day, against the Union Railway Company, Ell
bert Newhouse of New Castle, being plaintiff.
According to the statements Of the complaint,
Newhouse was In the wating-room at the Union
Depot, last Monday night awaiting the arrival
of his train. A drunken man was admitted to
the room by one of the company's
policemen, who, after compelling New
house to move his seat several
times to avoid him, finally assaulted
him without provoca.ion. Newhouse protected
himself as best he could until the arrival of the
depot police. The officers placed both men I'M
der arrest, and, as Newhouse claims, refused to
listen to the explanations offered by witnesses,
and locked both in the station house. where
plaintiff was forced to remain forty eight hours
awaiting trial. He was discharged by the court
when the case was called. Newhouse de-
mands damages in the sum of S., 900 for false
Imprisonment

The Failure to- Indict Meek.

The refusal of the grand jury to indict Still
man T. Meek, the police officer who killed John
Walsh. has caused some comment as to how that
body missed one or two salient points upon which
a case could be based 1t is known that the pros
ecutng attorney advised that an indictment be
returned because the conviction or acuulttal
Of Meek in open court would better
satisfy public wishes.o However, the grand jury
went into the investigation with Meeks testi-
mony as beginning. He said he fred twice in
the air. This is contrary to the evidence
brought before the coroner, as we'll as to Meek's
statement to that officer From all that can
be learned the grand jurors considered the side
of the defense as we'll as that of the prosecute on
in their secret meeting. 1t was trial of the
case without the possibility of the public
reaching the full record of testimony for and
against. Officer Meek appears to be a very valua-
BILE citizen since the grand jury saved him from
trial, by which mauslaughter could probably
have been established. aud since he has been re-
stored to duty as police officer. Other recent
incidents of this fellows career which ought to
secure his dismissal from the force. have, doubt
less, been forgotten by the Police Commissioners.
