THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY.
Gen. McLaws' Address-The Old Gene
terry Epitaphs.


Gen. Lafayette McLaws read a paper
night on "The Maryland Campaign of 1862, u
including the capture of Maryland Heights
and Harpers Ferry. The paper was the
| same as that which he read before the New
England Society in Boston year ago.
After the address the Historical Society
held its regular April meeting. There was
very little business of interest transacted
other than receiving the report of the com
mittee appointed in January to devise a
| plan for collating and preserving the cpl
| taphs on the tombstoneS in the old South
Broad street cemetery.
Mr.. w. 5. Bogart, chairman of the COM
mittee. submitted the report and with it a
| list of over 700 epitaphs which were copied
from the tombstones and monuments by
Misses Addie Wilson and Georgia Wey-
mouth
| Misses Wilson and Weymouth are en-
gagged upon their new book, pic
turesque and Historic Savannah"
and they rendered the committee
their services in conating the epitaphs.
The work was begun over a month ago, and
was necessarily very slow. 1t was done
very carefully, however, and as a result the
committee has complete list of something
over two hundred epitaphs which were OBJ
tanned with very little difficulty, the in
scriptions being clear and distinct The
list is accompanied by a plat of the
cemetery showing the location of the
tombs Besides this list there is another of
something over 500 inscriptions, less dis
tinct than the first, and which in some in
stances it was almost impossible to decipher
owing to effacements and the breaking and
crumbling away of the stones.
The oldest date recorded in the cemetery
is, 1862 and the latest date
IS 1861 - covering just century.
From the number of epitaphsin 1920 that ap-
pears to have been the most fatal year in
the century, and October of that year was
the most fatal month of any year.
The committee recommended that the in
scr1ptions be bound together as a volume of
e,itaphs, and that they be filed among the
archives of the society. 1t also referred
TO the willing and valuable services of
Misses Wilson and Weymouth in making
their collection, and, In recognition of their
work, it recommended that they be rendered
vote of thanks, and also that they be
given the free use of the Historical Society
library and the Telfair Academy in the
prosecution of their literary and art work
The report was unanimously adopted and
resolution by Col. Olmstead indorsing the
efforts of the young ladies in the prepara-
ton of their forthcoming book on Savan-
nah was also adopted. Misses Wilson and
Weymouth have much of the material for
their book collected and It win prot ably be
ready for the publishers early in the fall.

A Brunswick Lady Awakes in Time

morning. About 2 o'clock Mrs. William

window saw a man with stick about q feet
long, to the end Of which was
attached cloth which he was
holding just above her husbands
face. Her screams aroused her father, f.

and together they soon aroused the stupe-
fed inan u consciousness. The intruder
made his escape, but dropped his stick The
cloth was lady's linen handkerchief COM
pletely saturated with chloroform This is
the first instance Of this kind ever occurring
in Brunswick. The object was doubtless
robbery, and the room being on the ground
moor, made the dragging recess possible at
safe distance. Mr.. Barkuloo suffers no in
convenience from his experience
