THE MILITARY.

The story of last Tuesdays exercises
could not be properly written without
especial mention of the part taken by
the military in it's handsome appear
ance and superb behavior. for with the
military omitted much Of the otherwise
successful day would have been a tire
some blank.
In all there were six companies pres
ent four from York county and two
from Chester county, and all under
command Of Col j. C. Boyd, Of the
First regiment The Chester compa-
nies were the Lee Light Infantry under
Capt. r. G. Mills: the Hazlewood Rifles
under command of Capt. ]. S. Hardin,
and the York county companies were
the Catawba Military academy cadets
under command of Capt. J. D. Cosby,
the Fort Mill Light Infantry under
command Of Capt. T. B. Spratt, the
Catawba Rifles under command of
Capt. w. w. Boyce and the Jasper
Light infantry under command of
Capt. w. B. Moore.
With these troops, Col. Boyd, through
Capt. w. w. Lewis, acting adjutant'
formed a provisional regiment for the
occasion as follows: Regimental band
under command of chief musician, r.
]. Herndon; First Battalion, Catawba
cadets, under Capt. Cosby, acting as
major. Second battalion, company IL
Casper Light Infantry Lieutenant
Hart acting captain, and companies
&c and T. (Lee Light Infantry and
Hazelwood Rifes) with Capt. w. B.
Moore acting as major Third battal-
ion, companies III" and tx" (Fort Mill
Mill and Rock Hill) with Capt. ]. S.
McKeown acting as major.
This formation was observed during
the day, and every company as well
as the band, acquitted itself most
creditably, on parade as well as on the
march. The C. M. A. boys, fifty strong
were frequently remarked for their es-
pecially neat appearance and military
bearing, and the Hazlewood Rifles
with more than 60 men also won much
favorable comment on account OF the
unusually fine physique up to which
the members Of the company seem to
average.
The military men were kept so busy
throughout the day that they had but
little time for social intercourse; but
altogether they had about two hours
to themselves and circulated freely
among the crowd making the impress
sion that they were not only soldiers
but gentlemen.
A feature of the military programme
that is worthy of especial remark is
the fact that every movement was on
time and the military met every ap-
pointment at the minute. 1t was SO
| in the start to the reviewing grounds,
in the return to the starting point, In
appearing at the monument, and in
starting for and arriving at the ceme-
terry. This promptness may have
thrown certain other parts of the eXer-
cises slightly out Of gear, but never
theless it was decidedly military and
highly creditable.

SOME of the newspapers are publish
ing the outline of a plan to assess the
farmers of the south 10 cents bale
on their cotton for the purpose Of rails
ing a $1,O00,000 fund to be used by D.
J. Sully to keep up the price. Those
who desire to contribute are at per-
feet liberty to do so; but we beg to
suggest that we think Mr.. Sully the
last man in the country to be entrusted
with the money. Sully has been get
ting credit for the recent advance in the
price of cotton; but in our opinion he
has had absolutely nothing to do with
it. either directly or indirectly. Messrs
Brown and Hayne of New Orleans
were the real manipulators of the sue
cessful bull campaign, and Sully was
only a hanger on looking for and TAX
ing every opportunity to lift heavy
profits for himself at their expense
1t is not unusual for people to get cred
it for things they do not deserve, but II
is Just a little eXasperating to see
this man Sully being held up as ben
efactor when as a matter Of fact he
all the while stood ready to smash the
whole bull movement and would nc
doubt have succeeded had he not been
so far outclassed by the brains, nerve
and money Of Messrs. Brown anc
Hayne.

NOTE AND COMM ENT.

The admirable. manner in which the
serving of refreshments at the Bratton
building was conducted on Tuesday
has been the subject Of much favora-
BILE comment. This work was In
charge of a committee composed of
members of the U. D. C. as follows:
Mrs. w. G. White, chairman; Mes
DANES Geo. w. S. Hart, w. D. Glenn,
S. C. Ashe w. B. Wylie, w. M. Alli-
son, R. M. Bratton, w. G. Neville, Miss
Bessie Barron. They were assisted by
Mr.. A. Rose and Mr.. w. B. Williams,
Jr., commissary sergeant Of the Jas
per Light Infantry. Their work
throughout was perfect and If any
thing needful was left undone or
omitted no one seems to have been
able to recall the fact. The other COM
mittees were as follows: Invitation
Mrs. w. B. Williams, Mrs. ]. j. Hun
ter, Mrs. S. M. McNeel, Mrs. j. F.
Hart, Captain w. B. Moore. Decora-
tions-Misses Rosa Lindsay, Belle

Witherspoon. Messrs. j. B. Pegram'
]. P. White and H. @. McElwee gave
much assistance in raising supplies
and making themselves useful gener-
ally.
II is almost out Of the question to
estimate the number of visitors 10
Yorkville last Tuesday. The reporter
has heard numerous people who are
especially accustomed to large crowds
make the attempt; but their figures are
at such variance as to deprive them OF
credence. One would say from 2,OOO
to 5000 visitors and others had the
figures up as high as 5000. The first
figures are too low. There is no ques-
ton of that, because not less than 1000
people came on the different trains. AS
to whether the last figures are too high
is a matter of doubt, for certain 1t is
that three or four times as many peo-
pie came by private conveyance as by
rail. However, the size Of the crowd
was by no means it's most striking fea-
ture. Most intelligent observers were
struck with the appearance Of the men
and women who made up the great
majority of the visitors, and not few
were heard to express pride In such
showing. What little hair Is left up
here is white" said one old gentleman,
land in my day I have seen lots OF
gatherings; but I have no hesitation IN
saying that this Is the finest l nave
ever seen. Bright, intelligent, we'll
dressed and well-fed looking people are
not rare in any part of the south; but
it is not often that you find so many
of them together" And the behaVlor
of the visitors was in keeping with
their appearance. Everybody seemed
pleased and determined to remain so.
There was no unseemly conduct Dy
anybody, and absolutely nothing TO
mar the universal admiration that this
great body Of visitors compelled.

The windows were broken with sticks

ALTHOUGH we have devoted rather
more space to the Memorial Day eX-

of our readers who may not be inter-

that war. [Applause].
But. my friends, another spring came
on. We had won in the field victory
after victory. The Confederate army
was worn down literally to the earth.
We had fought out all Of our strength,
and the time had come for us to cease.
We slowly turned our faces homeward.
It was too cowardly for brave men to
think Of self destruction. The question
had come down to other claims. to
go back home to protect and DEFEND
and support those who had cheerea
and defended and supported US. But,
when the spring opened, as it did this
morning. throughout the months of
April and May. when the trees put
forth again their foliage, and the roses
and other flowers opened their beau
tiful petals and threw their fragrance
into the air. there was nothing so
so beautiful, so touching, to the worm
ont soldiers heart as the embrace or
welcome which the suffering women
gave us upon our return. [Applausel'
