Yours fraternallv,
JAMES G. HOLMES


Adjntant General and Chief Of Staff.
l have submitted the foregoing as
information to which your Excellency
and the members of the General AS
sembly are entitled, showing that
your appointment has received the
endorsement of the survivors, which
I know will be almost as gratifying to
your Excellency as it has been to me !;
and although it will entail some ad-
ditional work upon the Historian,
shall receive my best and closest at
tention.
Your Excellency will discover from
the memorial of the U. G. V, and
from this report, that the work of col
lecting the records has been going on
for many years and has been gradual
ly nearing completion l may say
that the rolls are as nearly complete
now (only a small number being still
OUT as they are likely to be until the
survivors realize that the publication
is actually taking place, when those
who have been so hard to arouse will
rush forward to see that their COM
mands are properly included. y de-
tailed account of the command whose
rolls are unfinished will be published
agaid soon, as it has been from time
to time in the progress of the work.
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1896-01-15


For all the servants OF our King
In heaven and earth are one.
have been told that when any OF
the members of any of the great Sc
cret societies of this country are in
distant city and are in any kinG Of
trouble and are set upon by enemies
they have only to give certain sig
nal, and the members of that organl-
zation will flock around for defense.
And when any man belongs to this
great Christian brotherhood, if he gets
IN trouble, in trial, in persecution, IN
temptation, he has only to show this
ring of Christ's adoption, and all the
armed cohorts of heaven will come to
his rescue.
Still further, when Christ takes a
soul into his love, he puts upon II a
marriage ring. Now, that is not a
whim of mine-Hosea il, 19, Il will
betroth thee unto me forever-yea, I
will betroth thee unto me in right
eousness, and in judgment, and in low
ing kindness, and in mercies." At the
wedding altar the bridegroom puts

ing love and faithfulness. Trouble may
come upon the household, and the
carpets may 60, the pictures may 60,
the piano may go-everything else
may 60. The last thing that goes is
that marriage ring, foritis considered
sacred. In the burial hour it is with
drawn from the hand and kept in
casket, and sometimes the box is op-
ened on an anniversary day, and as
you look at that ring you see under its
arch long procession Of precious
memories. Within the golden circle
of that ring there is room for a thous-
and sweet recollectionsto revolve, and
you think of the great contrast be-
tween the hour when, at the close Of
the wedding March" under the
flashing lights and amid the aroma Of
orange blossoms, you set that ring on
the round finger OF the plump hand,
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1896-01-15

If you care to 60 to the convention
as a representative of the Camp in
Spartanburg all right; if not, should
be happy, as the commander of the
division, to extend an invitation to
you to be present for your personal
record during the war, and because
you are the State Historian.
Very truly,
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1896-01-15

I have also on hand at the office Of
the adjutant and inspect or general
valuable Roll of Honor" or alpha
betical list of the dead, which, though
not complete, contains some ten thou
sand names, as estimated and prepared
by the Survivors Association. This,
too, should be published so as to enable
our people to add names not included
and to make the list complete.
It has been suggested by General G.
I. Walker, and / would respectfully
join in the request, that some better
means for the preservation of the Con-
federate Records of all kinds be made,
which, with the cooperation of your
EXcellency, I think can be arranged
with the adjutant and inspector gen
eral, or if the room there is not suffi-
cient, elsewhere in the State House.
In conclusion, l beg to say thatupon
commencing my work l addressed
circular letter to the various surviving
brigade commanders in the State, or
those whom considered proper repre-
sentatives, asking their cooperation
and assistance in the work before me.
1t gives me great pleasure to say that
I met with a warm and cordial re-
sponse in every instance, and the list
below of those who are engaged in or
supervising the sketches of our bri-
gades gives assurance that when their
work is completedit it will not only give
satisfaction, but shed honor and glory
upon the troops which they represent.
This work is being done by or under
the supervision of the following gen
tlemen, who can call to their assist
ance whatever help they may need
from their various subordinate COM
manders and comrades, and some Of
this work is already finished:
