liam Armstrong; was born in 11f1 and was therefore lt years old in 177s and 1s in i77s--the year he probably en- tered the Revolution. No doubt Mir. Armstrong could relate many aceu- rate, interesting incidents of his grand fathers Revolutionary seryice--this brave Irish lad, so eager and willing to fight for his adopted country.
 There were young soldiers in those days, and 1t was quite common for youths 14. IS and IS years of age to enter the ser vice. General Andrew Jackson, it Is said. vas but ii years old when he became a soldier of the Revolution. These boys loved libercy well enough to sacrifice and fight for it with courage, determinatipn and firm resolve. and the sterling metlle of our Revolutionary ancestors-rnany of them mere iads--told nightly in those trying days of war.
 Revolutionary Rolls of South Caro-
 lima Soldiers, Continued. Tho South Carolina State says: "rhese rolls published in that paper havc cre- ated much interest in the State and they are constantly receiving letters of appre- 1 ciation and thanks for the work. It has been no small job to prepare and properly index these rolls for publication. and they are far from complete. as many have not yet been examined. Mfr. Can't, Secretary of State, says, There are between 500 and 1o.o0o folders, each containing several papers and comprising in all 5000 or 400 separate sheets. and slips of paper. When single name is published, it IS but an extract from extensive documents which must be carefully read and so in- dexed. It Is hoped when the work Is done that comparatively complete list of the men who fought under Marion. Plckens and Sumter during the closing years of the Revolution will be preserved. During these years when these men were fighting. South Carolina bore the brunt oe the conflict. and they drove the British from the State and cornwa1lis's army to Washington and Yorktown" Robt.
