Answer to g. w. Moore's Inquiry.
Waterloo, S. C.. April 18th, 20

Waterloo, S. c., April 18th, '05.
Mr.. G. w. Moore, Dear old Veteran:
In answer to your inquiry in last week s
ADVERTISER in reference to the battle
flag of the Third South Carolina Bat
talon and as to what became of the
flag of that Battalion, will answer by
saying that l believe that it was cap
tured by the enemy at the battle of
South Mountain and will give you my
reason for believing so. You remem-
Der that Mr.. Willie Simpson, one of
our brave Laurens boys, was color
bearer at that battle. My brother, H.
c. Puckett was right color guard and
Mr.. Jack Golding, left color guard.
My brother fell in that battle The last
| ever saw of our Battalion flag, | saw
it in the hands of Mr.. Willie Simpson,
our noble hero. / saw him down on
the ground suppose he had been
shot down with the flag in his hands
and saw some of the Yankees trying
to take it out of his hands. The staff
had been shot in two and he was hold
ing to it. | also sa few Yankees
going towards him with their bayonets
pointing at him and calling on him to
surrender, which don't believe he ever
did. j was about thirty feet from him
when saw this. About that time a
piece of shell struck a man and he fell
on me. was unconscious for quite a
while and latter fell into the hands of
the enemy. Mr.. Joe Anderson told me
he saw Willie few minutes before |
did; said he was walking up the line
with the flag in one hand and his pistol
in the other and that the staff of
the flag had been shot in two then. -
We have had great Generals and brave
officers that have fallen in battle, and
while Willie was only private, but
honored with our colors, ask who
ever died braver on the field of battle
than did our brave heroic color bearer,
Willie Simpson, who gave his life be-
fore he would give up his colors. If
our Battalion flag is ever returned we
will know it by the staff being shot in
two also at the second battle of Manas-
sas the top of the spear was shot off
the flag. After our flag was captured
by the enemy did not our Battalion
have another one, if so, ask if any
one knows what became of that flag?
Very respectfully,
SAM ID. PUCKETr,
Co. A., S. C. Battalion.

In MemOrianr

The subject of this sketch, Conway
Garrett, son of Zadock C. and Nancy
Garrett, was born April 3Oth, 1861 and
died at his home near Gray Court, S.
c., March 23rd 1905. The funeral SER
vices were conducted by the writer, as
sisted by Rev. j. L. McEin, at the
home of the deceased.
Brother Garrett was a grandson of
Rev. Tolaver Robertson, of precious
memory, and his body was placed to
rest in the Robertson graveyard, near
his home.
He was converted and joined the Bap-
tist Church at Highland Home about
fifteen years ago and remained faith
full member until the day of his death.
Brother Garrett had been great suf-
terer for five years. For four years he
had been confined to the house. He was
one of the most patient sufferers the
writer ever knew. The grace of God
was manifested in his life and death.
He had most satisfactory experience
OF saving grace. There was not a
cloud upon his spiritual sky. He tri-
umphed gloriously over death. He not
only expressed willingness to die, but
desire to depart and be with Christ.
He was an honest man, true friend,
valuable citizen, an affectionate hus-
band and loving father.
He leaves a devoted wife, three sons,
three daughters, one brother, two sis
ters many relatives and host of
friends to mourn their loss.
The writer thanks God for the beau
tiful Christian life of Conway Garrett,
and feels personally bereaved in his
death

An Ardent Admirer of Col. James
Armstrong.

EDITOR ADVERTISER: see Capt.
James Armstrong is to be your orator
on Memorial Day. / am glad will
have the pleasure of hearing him. 1t
has been my exquisite pleasure on two
or three Memorial occasions to hear the
eloquent son of the Lost Cause, lay
such tributes on the graves of his lost
comrades that you will weep with re-
miniscent love and thrill with the burn
ing flames of a never-dying patriotism.
There was nobody, unless it was the
immortal Grady, that could say sweeter
and more touching things about the sa-
cred cause and its dead comraees than
the eloquent Captain. A treat is in
store for you. The battle SCARED Cor
don's eloquence was on such occasions
touching and pathetic, but nothing sur
passes the beauty and the love with
which the devoted "Jimmie" lovingly
garlands the cause and the memory of
his comrades. His snowy, curly locks
are certainly picturesque sight. Ora
torically wherever Armstrong stands is
the head of the table.

DEFINITION OF FRATERNITY

in The Royal Arcantln, tho Official
Bulletin Of the Supreme Council Uf
the order gives the following deiini,
ton Of fraternity:
The fact is. fraternity means any
Plan or method which the members or
M organization establish for carrying
out their purposes. In IL protective or
Sanization any system of rates which
is incquitablc, which puts one member
ON basis different from another, is
unfratcrnal. The new scale OF rates
is the product " the best thought
given by fratcrnalists to the problems
confronting the organization approach

upon their second generation of life,
when conditions will be entirely diff

A VOYAGE.

On peaceful stream boat is floating,
AT the helm is little child;
His tender heart is beating lightly,
His youthful face one sunny smile.
On the banks the flowers blossom,
And ill the air with sweet perfume;
And the ripping water is always sing
ing
To the child Il soothing tune.
Thus he sails out un life, Il river,
His SuilclcsS soul SO free from care;
When all tile world around is peaceful.
And all the future seems SO fair.
But soon the waves begin To rock him,
Dark clouds dim the brilliant Sky,
And OIL his face they throw their
shadows,
And cause tcar-drop in his eye.
And now the boat is OH the ocean,
BATTLING with the raging storm,
And the little child, who once was
steering,
Has grown into Il manly form,
lie casts wistful look behind him.
TO the days when his life was free
from care;
When calm The waters were around
him.
And.thc future seemed so fair.
And he wonders why fate did not sink
him
On that gentle flowing tide.
n nd g-lk llf. tt;t,
That scarce his little craft will ride
BIT still he struggles bravcly onward,
Amid the pillows surge and roar,
Believing that beyond these waters
lie will find peaceful shore.
And sec him Ger look upward.
(Oit being kissed by Il dash Of
spray,
Steering 10y IL star before him.
For an unknown country far away.
