CHADWICK DAY NOTES.
Some of the Things of Interest
in Connection.

Admiral Sampson will be Dr. and Mrs.
Whites st-AdmiralsSchley Will
not be Present-Sword will be Here
On Monday Committees are Down
to Hard work.
During his stay in Morgantown Adj
miral Sampson will be the guest of
DR.. and Mrs. /. G. White at their ele-
CANT home. They will add no little
TO the pleasure of his visit and will
make him want to locate permanent
ly in Morgantown. Both of them are
ideal entertainers.
Everyone is sorry that Admiral
Schley could not be present on Chad
wick Day As hero who has done a
great service for his country he is sec
ond only TO Dewey in the estimation
OF his fellow countrymen. He has
been given his preliminary orders for
sea duty and will shortly leave the
United States to take charge OF the
South Atlantic squadron which may
prove to be Of greater Importance than
it was thought to be when the post
was assigned to him.
The sword which is to be presented
TO Captain Chadwick will be shipped
from Philadelphia this Saturday
evening" and on Monday it will be
placedon exhibition in and all will want
to get look at it. The sword will be
one of the handsomest ever given TO a
naval officer in the country by city
or state OF course those presented
by Congress will outshine it but that
body has the resources OF the United
States to back it and can do what ever
it wishes to do.
The Piedmont Herald after telling
of the handsome invitation that it has
received TO call on us on Chadwick
Day and complimenting everyone con
cerned on the many good points of
the invitation concludes its article by
exclaiming Lets all go!
All the committees in charge of
things for Chadwick Day are hard at
work and the one on decorations is do
ing a great deal They have made a
canvass Of the town and have found
out what each man is going TO do in
the way of decorations. These will

ance and it's marching were favora
bly, commented upon by civilians
and veterans. General Shafter him
self sent Lieutenant Corbett in such
haste to recall Lieutenant Colonel
Campbell of the Thirtleth that he
might congratulate him that the
happy Lieutenant's horse fell before
ten thousand eyes.
