"A Voice from S. CO. This sub
ject was referred to the Historical
Committee. Through the kindness
Of the President of the Greenwood
Chapter, We obtained a copy Of the
book. We consider it a most valu-
able addition to Reconstruction lit
erature, and should be in all libraries
Of Southern history. But We cannot
recommend that the Division under
take its republication at present, lst,
on account of the limited funds in
our treasury and second, because it
does not fall technically under Con-
federate literature; though this we
consider a minor objection.
Before bringing this report to a
close there is one special work for
next year that your chairman would
call to the attention Of all the chap
ters. The U. C. V. have tried to
make an enrolment of all the soldiers
of the State. For nearly eight years
they have worked at this with no
great success. The Commandant,
Gen. Zimmerman Davis, in recent
letter. wrote that he had become dis
couraged over the lack Of interest
shown by the veterans, and at the
Greenville Reunion had resigned the
chairmanship of this committee IN
favor of the Sons Of Veterans. But
the work is still tagging, and the
Daughters might now aid in it. Your
chairman would beg that each chap
ter find out from the Clerk Of Court
in its county, how the enrolment has
progressed, and if it is not finished
that each one do what it can to push
this work to completion.
During the past year many OF our

Mr.. A. C. Richardson and Mr.. P.

day Of this week with friends at

Mr.. H. A. Wicker and brother,

Sunday at Newberry.
I have been requested by the
teacher and students Of Fork school
to say that they will give a box
party at the school house on Friday,
December 3.
A hearty invitation is extended to
all the boys and girls who wish to at

each bring with them a box contain
ing something eatable. These will
be sold at auction, to the highest
bidder. When the box is opened it
will be found to contain the name of

girl to join him in eating whatsoever
the box may contain. The proceeds
will go to the benefit of the school

noted veterans have answered to
their last roll call. Gen. Carwile,
Gen. N. c. Butler, Judge Hudson,
Col. Bacon-and others Of lesser note
but no lesser honor have passed to
their reward. This fact should be a
bugle call to US to use greater ac-
tivity in our historical work. Great
in their deeds: and humble in their
estimate Of them, no word of theirs
would tell the world Of these acts
which made them heroes, so it re-
mains to US to gather up records of
their achievements, and enshrlne
their memories in the hearts Of the
South, and Of the whole nation,
which in time will be proud to own
them as her sons.
"Gather them one and all,
From the private to the chief;
Come they from hovel or princely
hall,
They fell for us, and for them should
fall

And win the heart Of the future

The popular people are those who

ST. LOUIS. Feb. 25.--Charlie Weh-

Wehmeier, Sr.. coughed up collar
button which he swallowed two years
ago. II had become lodged In his
throat
AT the time OF the accident a physi>
clan could find no trace OF the button.
A swelling OF the neck manifested II.
self, which was diagnosed as tonsilit-
Is, and doctors ridiculed the idea that
the button might be the cause OF the
trouble. Besides offering intene pain
the muscles on one side of the neck
became rigid. the head turned, and
permanent injury was feared.
II was during spell of coughing
while the child was lying on its back
that the button. coated with a green
ish phlegm, was emitted.

SIN aller Hats For
f A S I E r
Trimmings Are Not Elaborate
and Turbans In Many Forms
Are Popular.

All womankind seems TO rejoice at
the return OF the small and the me-
dunn sized hats to popular favor.
They are smart, becoming and al
ways convenient. While the smaller
hat Is Enthusiastically to the fore at
present. It does not follow that the
larger hat Is out entirely, by any
means, but simply that womans bet
ter judgment and taste have assigned
II to its rightful place as hat dis
tinctly for dress. Fine and coarse
straw. fancy braid and silk are used
to build the Spring toques and tur.
bans that replace the Winter cha
peau OF fur, to which the shape OF
the newer hat is also similar in its
general line.
A pronounced feature OF the spring
hats Ii the comparative simplicity OF
their trimming, which at the same
time is extremely stylish. Large
fiower-like rosettes OF soft silk some
times cover the entire side OF hat,
and are relieved with sprays OF leaves
and flowers. Other rosettes and quill
ed ribbon often constitute the only
trimming. Flowers as usual are I'M
portant IN connection with spring
headwear, and wings are smart ON
hats OF moderate size.
The turbans and other smaller hats
are really not small but rather ex-
IRENE in size and cover the head
well the brim extending over the
ears while they may not seem
graceful they are extremely smart.
With them the hair Is worn well over
the brow and they have also encour-
aged the return OF the bang, as be-
coming arrangement OF the hair is a
necessity with these large turbans-
