A Bouquet For the First
Greenville special to the News and
Courier: 1t is said on good authority
that the First regiment was the best
military organization sent by any
state to the manoeuvres. The men OF
Col. Lewis's command stood the work
better, did less Kicking and seemed
more alive to the duties Of camp life
than the soldiers OF any other regi-
ment. The regular army officers
were not permitted to make any COM
parsons, of course. That is, they
could not speak officially. or for pub
| lication, but several admitted in prf-
vate conversation that the First reg
Iment was the best they had seen In
the camp, excepting regulars This
belongs to the men. who lent them
selves to the training Of their officers,
but too much cannot be said In praise
| of Col. Lewis and the men working
with him for the excellent showing
made by the First South Carolina.
Col. Lewis is graduate OF the Cita-
del. He has had considerable expe-
rience in things military. he In
spired the utmost confidence Of both
officers and men. He was the hard
est worked man in the regiment, and
La careful, conscientious student; one
of those officers who never curse or
drink, and invariably make the best
soldiers.

he voted in favor Of the resolution
with the understanding that the fee
was TO be paid by the head lodge and
he did not stand for the raise II tho
applicant had to pay It. He also
stated that the association did not
pass the resolution until one OF the
members was assured by man who
lis high up in the Woodmen Of this
state, that he was confident that the
head camp would pay the fee. The
reporter was told afterwards by DR..
| Massey that the man he referred to
was Mr.. w. T Slaughter Of Hickory
Grove, state organizer Of the Wood
men, and that he came down 10 Rock
Hill on the Irain with DIR. Bratton OF
Yorkville the day the association met
here and told him to go ahead and
pass the resolution and he would use
his influence to get the head camp to
