An Unmarked Grave.

In Saint Stephens churcnyard Lex
ington, S. O., in the quiet city of the
dead, there is an unmarked grave Of a
person whose ben1fac,ions willie llv-
ing should cause the manhood Of Lex
ington county to assert j iisef and
erect to her memory a monument that
will tower above every monument in
this beautiful burying ground. 1t ia
the grave of "Granny" Corley, a wo-
man with as true and as brave heart
as ever beat within the human breast
the woman who, we are told, gave
the land upon which now stands the
Lexington court house; who gave the
land for the old Lutheran church, the
land for the Methodist church, and the
cemetery where she now lies slumber-
ing with the dead, was also donated
by her. These are living monuments
of her worth-these speak more for
her than all that can be said or writ
ten by one who is not familiar with
her life and character but the fact
remains, nevertheless: that her grave
today remains unmarked. Would it
not therefore be fitting at the begin
ming of this New Year to start a move
ment for the rearing of monument
to the memory of this 5enefactress?
We believe that the men and women
of this grand old county will not per-
nit her grave to go longer unmarked;
we believe that there are enough men
and women in the county who will
take pride enough in this undertaking
to push it to a successful conclusion
with but little effort.
Believing, as we do, that this call
will meet with the hearty approval Of
the citizens Of the county who feel an
abiding interest in our magnificent
court house and our beautiful public
square, The Dispatch is going to con-
duct popular subscription fund for
the erection of q monument to the
grave of this noble woman. We are
going to publish from time to time
the names of those who subscribe, to-
gether with the amounts given. This
movement will be conducted by D. R.
Haltiwanger, associate editor, and all
communications bearing upon this
subject should be addressed to him.

1911.

With this issue of The Dispatch we
enter into the new year nineteen hun
dred and eleven. Old Father Time
has turned his big year-wheel again
and brought US to another mile post
on the road that leads to the land of
shadows. That road in the past has
wound over hills and valleys, some
times through dark and tangled will
dernesses, sometimes through fields
of golden grain and lucious fruits,
sometimes through gardens Of flowers
kissed b. the morning sun and nour-
ished by the morning dews. But al
ways the road has lead on and on and
on, with no indications Of terminating
this side Of the eternal Beyond. But
there are resting places along this
road where we may pause and renew
our wasted strength, gather fresh en-
ergies To-. the yet uncompleted jour
Hey and fresh cheer and strong hopes
for the part that remains. We have
irst past one Of these ststions-a sta
ton which has stood through many
generations and has always furnished
comfort and good chser to the weary
pilgrims Of earth.
The year just ciosed has been an
eventful one, as ell years are. They
are made up OF events-events In the
life Of nations, cities, towns, conmu-
mites, and indfvidus, u.sn and women.
Many things have happened vhieh We
could vBh had bean otherwise. Many
homes haYe been das ksned By death,
smong them our orn; many hearts
have been zusde deeolats beeaose

things must needs ba. They aye now
