Mrs. R. D. Wright,

Newberry, S. c., March 26, 1910.
Mrs. R. D. Wright,
Newberry, S. C.
Dear Mrs. Wright: On the 5th day
of January, 1861, at Jalapa, S. c., the
Williams Guards were organized.
This company was known as Com
pany B, Third regiment, S. G. V. A
short time after organization Mrs.
James McCravy presented the COM
pany flag. The company left New
berry on the 18th day Of April, 1861,
and was in camp at the fair grounds
in Columbia for some time.
While in Columbia another flag was
presented to the company by a lady,
whose name have forgotten: ! think
Mrs. Trezevaht.
We were moved to Lightwood
Knott Springs, about seven miles
from Columbia and then changed
from State to Confederate service. We
left Lightwood Knot Springs for Vir-
ginia sometime In June We soon
found that we had no use for the COM
pany flags, so Captain s. N. Davidson
sent the flags home to his sister, Mrs.
Mary f. Reeder, to keep until We re-
turned home.
After the surrender Mrs. Reeder
moved to Mccormick, S. G. During
the eighties I got iii Correspondence
with Mrs. Reeder about the flags. She
finally turned them over to me in
trust for the company and let Capt.
Thompson Conner, Sergt. A. j. Liv=
ingston and M. H. Gary know I had
the flags. We decided to put the
flags in the hands of the senior rank
ing officer of the company in trust
for the survivors until the survivors
decided what was to be done with
them. I at once turned them over to
Captain Connor in trust for the COM
pany.
At Capt. Connor's death, Mrs. Con-
ner asked me what she was to do with
the flags. I instructed her to turn
them over to Sergeant L. NJ. Speers IN
trust for the company. She turned
therl over to Mr.. Speers with full
explanation about what was 10 be
done with them. Mr.. Speers did not
know until that time what had be-
come of the flags. Mr.. Speers and
myself talked the matter over very
frequently. The flags are now in the
hands of Mrs. L. NJ. Speers, and after
a full conference of the survivors, we
have concluded to turn the flags over
to the Drayton Rutherford chapter
of the y. D. c., to be placed in the
Confederate museum in Columbia by
our chapter of the U. D. c., or pre-
sented to the State U. D. C. to be de-
posted by them into the museum in
Columbia. This is to be decided by
the Drayton Rutherford chapter and

so evasive, so elusive, We can't detect
it or analyze it, for in the very at
tempt it changes it's character and
so escapes US. A mans mind is his
kingdom Every man carries locked
up in his own breast castle and a
citadel whose secret recesSeS are
known to none save those to whom he
willingly divulges them. This invisi-
bic power within is the architect OF
all our fortunes, the arbiter of our
destiny. CAS- man thinketh in his
heart, so is he'
The speaker said the real quarrel
Of Christianity with the spirit Of our
time is the surface application it is
making to remedy the deep-seated
ills of the race. Society will never
be regenerated by working from with
/ out inward; life is transformed from
within outward. Neither culture nor
genius nor training nor scholarship
divorced from Christian ideals will
ever be able to accomplish the last
ing u2lift achieved by the normal de
velopment of the primal Christian
graces and virtues.
Mr.. Schaeffer impressed upon the
young men the fact that in character
lies the power of mastery, and that in
this is the root, elemental and funda-
mental, of true education, but he said
| that the whole trend of our times
contrasts sharply with this. The fore
most development was along material
lines and ever in the realm of the
psychic the intellectual was seeking
! to crowd the felds OF learning. The
worlds greatest teacher, he said
names hope, faith and charity, aid
! pleads for a place for these in the
! curriculum we chose.
| In the prime of it's life, said Mr.
Schaeffer, Athens sent forth more
great men in one hundred years than
all the rest of the world could boast
in five hundred. It stands enthroned
above all cities, not only Of antiquity
but of the world, as the illustrious
seat of learning, Of art, OF archltec'
ture and philosophy. But these things
have not within them the breath o!
! life, and after a few centuries the
! eyes of the world beheld only the
glory that was Greece. Athens in he1
palmiest days could not solve the su'
premest questions Of human life
could not crafty the deepest longings
! of it's noblest sons. 1t was when st
/ Paul came to call to citizenship
that is in heaven and to preach the
resurrection of the dead, and to pro-
claim one God who is the father. and
creator of US all, that the longings
of the human soul could be satisfied
and those are the principles of endur-
ing greatness and the only permanent
contribution to the life Of mankind
A city may be as fair as a dream, but
if its citizenship IS base and degfad=
ed, Ichabod is already written over
it's gates and it's glory is departed.
Institutions like Our college must be
safeguarded against that wholesale
paganizing which is the tendency Of
Our day. The only civilization we
need care to conserve is a Christian
! civilization.

is that of reality in our manhood and
womanhood
2. The second factor in our living
that man is liable in a time like this
to neglect is what may be called the
meditation life. We live in a restless.
busy and fervid epoch Of haste, hur-
ry and worry. The pace of the times
is fast and not conducive to the cul-
tivation of quiet and unostentatious
meditation. Men think deeply that
they may be more effective when they
are active. Men go apart that they
may be renewed for conflict They
reflect that they may be more effec-
tive.
8. The thir& factor in life that a
period such as this renders us liable
to neglect is the cultivation of ro-
bust attitude toward the truth. Truth
is commodity of such dignity and
gravity as not to he trifed with, or
even treated evasively. A man must
think right. He can not be wrong in
the fundamentals Of his belief and be
right in the fundamentals of his
character and conduct. Men want to
know what good and trained men
think cn vital themes The robust
ness of a mans intellectual convic-
tions, said the speaker, is not infre-
quently an index of the genuineness
Of his spiritual life.

The address before the students
Sunday evening vas delivered by the
Rev. W. C. Schaeffer;, Jr., pastor of
the Lutheran Church OF the Redeem
er, of Atlanta, Ga. Mr.. Schaeffer is
graduate of the college in the class
OF 1901, and while he has only been
in the ministry for a short time he is
today recognized as one of the lead
ing divnes in the Lutheran church OF
the South His subject Sunday night
was THAT Hidden Secret and Inner
World of Thought" based upon Phil
lippians 4:S: "Whatsoever things are
true, whatsoever things are honest,
whatsoever things are just, whatso-
ever things are pure, whatsoever
things are. lovely, whatsoever things
are of good report; if there be any
virtue, if there be any praise, think
on these things"

many from attending but in the face
of the rain a good many were our to
hear Mr.. Schaeffer's address. Music
was furnished by the Orpheus club,
and, besides the anthems duet was
sung by Misses Caro- and Ruth Efrd,

a manner which showed deep study,
and his address was an eloquent pre-

Before telling you about Ross
Barnes as a batter" said Jas.
O'Rourke to me, 81 want to tell
something about his work as Sec
ond baseman when he was with
the Boston Red Stockings.
Barnes had long arms that he
could snap like whip. His throws
from second to the plate were the
most beautiful have ever seen.
His speed was so tremendous
that the ball did not seem to have
any trajectory at all. and it landed
in the catcher's hands at the same
height that it started from.
His throws to the plate never
varied, but his batting was even
more wonderful. They say there
have been several ball players who
batted 400. In my. experience l
do not remember any other player
than Barnes who played in large
number of games and kept up to

1T was Barnes wonderful
third base hits that caused the
rule to be made that ball, even
if it struck within the diamond,
must be declared a foul If it rolled
outside the base line.
"This rule was passed to protect
other teams against Barnes. He
had trick Of hitting the ball SO it
would smash on the ground near
the plate just inside Of the third
base line, and would then NOW the
grass over the line, away out into
the field, where, of course, the
fielders did not stay.

away from his position quickly
enough to stop one of Barnes
hits, especially If man were on
second, trying to make third.
Five times out of six Barnes
could hit this ball, and whenever
he came up in the ninth inning
