Veterans Signed Petition.

Many of the veterans of the Con-
federate infirmary regretted very
much that Capt. w. D. Startling was
not reelected commandant by the
commission charged with the admin
istration of the affairs of the institu-
ton.
Resolutions regretting the loss
have been adopted by the veterans
as follows: Whereas; Our COM
mander, Capt. w. D. Startling is
about to sever his connection with
us to accept another, and while we
exceedingly regret to part with SO
excellent a gentleman, we desire to
manifest our high esteem for him.
Therefore be it resolved: That
we will ever remember his uniform
and impartial treatment which Is
characteristic of a noble, generous
heart, and to his new field he is ac-
companied by our best wishes for his
future success. These principles
combined with his social qualities
cause us to regret his discontinue
alton. We hope that those who may
come under his jurisdiction will re-
alize and appreciate the value Of
practical man."
The name of Capt. Startling was
not considered by the board appoint
ed by Gov. Blease. F. NJ. Nixon was
the only man considered and he was
elected without dissent. There was
a petition containing 60 names out
of 64 from the home asking that
Capt. Startling be reappointed to the
place. Members of the board gave
no reason why Capt. Startling was
dismissed. MIR. Nixon is a Confed-
crate veteran.-Columbia State.

gone abroad solely for her health
however, and that her departure had
nothing whatever to do with the
search for Miss Dorothy. He dis.
claimed knowledge as to whether
Mrs. Arnold was the heavily veiled
woman who was said to have called
with young Arnold upon George S
Griscom, Jr., an old admirer of Dor

The Arnold family believed at first
that Dorothy had gone abroad, but

babel. The lone officer, Reilly, STEP
ped in the path of the approaching
mass and demanded if they had a
permit to parade. AS he did so the

another man and bolted through the
crowd. Reilly was after him and
