is postponed week on account of measles.
Yesterday, after Sunday School, e group OF
Privateer girls were standing at the side of
Bethe! Church, and a gentleman called our
attention to 'he fact that these girls formed
pretty bouquet We fully agreed with him.
Privateer township certainly has some sweet
and pretty girls.
Last week we visited an old and neglected
grave yard, in this township, where it is said
rests the remains of Tom Globes, a Revolu-
tionary character from whom most all the
Privateer Redbones are descended. We visit
ed this place in company with Mr. Duke
Lackey and ]. E. Smiling, who may rightly
be called the Patriarch of the Privateer Red
bones This grave yard is on the edge of
Smiliog's field, IN sight of his house. It
does not appear that many are buried here
and it was an old grave yard so years ago.
Although overgrown with bushes and young
pines, it is pretty and an interesting looking
place. Smiling speaks of cleaning it off.
Revolutionary Gibbes lies buried near it is
a large and remarkable looking oak tree.
While we stood on this gronnd of the dead
rbe breezes passed softly by and red bird
gave utterance to its note.
]. E. Smiliug's wife is granddaughter,
through her mother, Of this Revolutionary
character From what we have heard Of him
iu our Investigations in regard to the Priva-
teer Red dbones, we conclude that he must
have been an interesting character. Among
those with whom we have talked about him is
Mrs. Harriet Gauley, an elderly lady of this
township AS an interesting item of local
history We will relate W hat she told US few
years ago. She said, "My mother said old
Cen Sumter wol 90 to see old Tom Globes
the Revolutionary soldier, and would not let
him suffer for any thing. Mother said Gibbes
was faithful soldier"
Ten years ago Henry Smiling, son of J. E.
Smiling, was gored by an OK, since which
time he hes never been able to walk or use
his fingers. We saw him at his fathers the
other day. His accident mas not injured his
mind, which is clear. During the war he
was in Major Barke's department and attend
ed to warehouses and was teemster while.
Ee served in the war about two years. He is
now grayhalred man of about 81. ln ad-
dition to negro aud white blood, he has
considerable dash of Indian, being about a
thirteenth or fifteenth part red mao.

President Crespo of Venezuela has
taken another step toward the con-
spicious honoring the American citi-
zens by issuing a decree directing
the erection of bronze column in
honor of the citizens of the United
States who aided Venezuela in the
first struggle for independence. The
decree has just been received at the
Venezuelan legation here. Venezue-
la has honored this government here
tofore by erecting statue of Waeh-
ington and projecting another statue
to President Monroe commemorative
of the Monroe doctrine, so that the
erection of this bronze column is
further evidence of the friendly feel
ing existing
The decree states that the column
is a memorial to the following citi-
zens of the United States Captain
Donnahue, Lieutenant Billcp and
Privates James Gardner, Charles
Johnson, Gustavus Bugrud, Paul T.
George, Daniel Komper, Miles T.
Hail, John Ferris and Sub-Lieuten-
ant Francis Farguharson. The de-
cree further recites the interesting
services of these men. who joined
Miranda in an expedition which left
New York in 1905 for the avowed
pcrpose of freeing Venezuela from
the Spanish rule. The party was
captured at Puerto Cabello and the
Americans were shot by Spanish
soldiers outside the castle of San
Felipe. Miranda escaped and subse-
euently took part in the signing the
declaration Of Venezuelan indepen
Gence.
General Crespo recites the valor Of
che American party and says their
names will be enrolled in the list CT
iltustrious pstriots who secured the
independence of South America from
foreign domain. The column is to
4 'oe erected at Puerto Cabe!lo, at the
point where the Americans fell.
The front of the colum will bear the
coat of arms of the United States
alongside that of VenezueIa, while
the sides bear the names Of ose
American party and an expression of
national gratitude, signed By Presi-
dent Creseo.
The ur7eiling of the column on
July 4. the national holiday of the
United States, is to be made notable
by demonstration lasting three
days throughout Venezuela On the
first day President Crespc ans :ais
cabinet vii! head the procession in
Caracas, bearing wreaths and flowers
to be p1eced on the moament of
/. Washington. The bronze column
will be unveiled on the same day
with elaborate exercises. Il is de-
creed that~during the three days OF
ceremonies and fetes all official utter
ances and acts shall include mention
of the vsIor of the United States
! citizens who aided Venezuela. The
minister of public works is in charge
of the erection of the column and Of
