federite Snldier.
CHARLESTON, 5. G.. April 23-There
is no hotel dcs invai;Gcs for the Con-
federate survivor and few meagerly
endowed soldiers homes in several Of
the Southern States are tae only re-
sorts for those who lag SuperlluouS on
the stage. There is no grand army list
Of the followers OF Lee and Jackson,
either Of those dead on the field of
battle" those who sickened and died IN
the hospitals or Northern prisons, OF
who have since the war answered the
final roll-call and "passed the Great
Captain for final review. But it is a
matter Of congratulation that South
Carolina has made an earnest and par
italy successful endeavor to record the
names of every volunteer from this
State IL the Confederate service.
The Survivors Association Of Char
lesion District, one of the oldest Con-
federate veteran organizations in the
South, has an invaluable record Of the
military career and record Of nearly
every one OF its members, and such
statements duly attested are now made
very properly, prerequisite for men,
bership. Yesterday. while rummag-
ing around Auditor kellY's office at the
City Hall, a reporter for the News and
Courier found the accompanying "re-
cord' of Il Confederate Survivor. IL is
signed By IN. 1ngraham Hasel!, 1St
Lieutenant Company l., lst 5. G., Vol"
and its correctness is certified by Ed
ward McCrady, Jr, lieutenant colonel
lists. G. v" and "Wm. Aiken Kelly.
late capt Company L. lists. G. Vol"
The record is remarkable for the num-
Der of battles in which the applicant
engaged. Its publication will doubt
less surprise the unaSSuming gentle
man, who is as modest as he is brave,
and whose gallant career IS known
only to his companions in arms.
