Greenville, May 1.-THE re-

who is far from being prejudiced
against young women, says the
solution of this matter lies in a
change respecting the sponsors
themselves, who should be Sc
lected by the veterans camp from
among the widows of Confederate
soldiers. His idea is original and
unique, and he contends that the
widows of their comrades would
more certainly and htIy represent
the old soldiers; that they would
give dignity to the posision, and
would he in full and appreciative
sympathy with the occasion itself,
without being unXiuusly concerned
as to social functions and escorts
and the like. He thinks the Sons
OF Veterans should appoint the
young ladies as their sponsors and
maids of honor, and that the Sons
should have exclusive charge of
balls and receptions during the re
union, as being more compatible
with their youth and position in
society. A sponsor is one who
undertakes to answer for another,
and he believes that the widows
of Confederate soldiers can better
speak for the survivors than the
younger generation, who did not
experience the hardships and
privations of the war>times.

TOM FITZPATRICK HURT.

On yesterday afternoon Tom Fitz-
patrick met with an accident, which
While severe in it's consequences was
nevertheless fortunate when one thinks
OF what it might have been. He was
driving out of town to his home and
when crossing the railway at what is
known as the Nash crossing, the second
second section of No. 3, the west bound
passenger, struck his wagon, cutting it
in two and scattering the pieces over
the neighboring fields.
Tom was thrown to the ground and
the frightened team ran away. The
train was quickly stopped and he was
taken back to the depot and brought up
town where the wounds were treated.
fortunately no bones were broken. but
he received several severe COMMISSIONS
on the face and severe cut on the
left cheek. When the word went
round town. the number who gathered
at the DOCTORS Office to find out how
badly Tom was hurt. attested his popu-
larity. He is now at the home of his
sister, Mrs. I. G. Mccarthy, and is
doing very nicely.
The reason he did not hear the an
preaching train was that he was heavily
bundled on account of the cold.
