MEMORIAL DAY EXERCISES.
Annual Exercises Held at Cemetery
Wednesday Afternoon.

The annual memorial day exercis-
es were held at the cemetery We'd
nesday afternoon beginning at five
o'clock when a great many Of the
people Of the city assembled to do
honor to their Confederate dead.
The exercises were appropriate
and were very interesting and, de-
spite the dust and hot sun, were
listened to most attentively by all
Of those present. Prof. S. H. Ed
munds was the master Of ceremonies
and everything, under his guidance,
moved along nicely and smoothly.
A few minutes before five o'clock
the line Of march was formed and,
headed by the Sumter band, slowly
approached and gathered around the
stand from which the speaker was
10 make his address. The band
headed the procession and next in
order was the Sumter Light Infan-
try, the high school battalion, the
flower girls from the primary grades
OF the Washington street school, the
Confederate veterans and the Unit
ed Daughters of the Confederacy.
After all had gathered around the
rostrum the Rev. David Klein, of
the Jewish synagog, made a most
impressive prayer over the graves Of
the buried soldiers. Following this
prayer was selection from the band
while the flower girls covered the
graves of the soldiers with beautiful
flowers. Prof. Edmunds next, with
few appropriate remarks, intro
duced the speaker Of the evening,
the Rev. ID. M. Mcleod.
DR.. Mcleod started off his speech
by saying that it was only by close
observation that one could arrive
at the trials and troubles Of the
soldiers in the war. for they them
selves never told Of these hardships.
He went on to tell incidents that
he had been told by verterans. to
whom he paid a beautiful tribute.
He also praised the women for their
bravery in time Of the greatest war
that the world has ever seen.
Following Mr.. McLeod's address.
the Sumter Light Infantry fired sew
eral volleys over the graves of buried
Confederate soldiers and later on
they fired three volleys over the
grave OF Capt John Reid. who was
at one time captain of the COM
pany.
The crowd was dismissed in the
meantime and returned to the CITY
knowing that they had done a low
ing duty in paying this tribute to
the fallen heroes of the war. The
veterans were taken to and from
the cemetery by those who had auto
moboiles and put them at the SER
vice of those veterans who did not
have any convenience of their own.

about, wherever they thought feder-

lieved TO have set the postonce on

Various reports were current during
the day that rebel chiefs as well as
federals had been killed or wound

two rebel chiefs are commanding the
movements Of the rebels who are
gathered about the church and the
bull pen, while Col. Blanco with about
800 men has taken up a position in
the shrubbery near the foothills, ready
to meet flank movements.
Gen. Francisco I. Madero, Jr., leader
of the rebels, observed the progress
of the battle from a distance. He
used powerful field glasses and not in
frequently gave shouts of exultation
at the advance Of the insurrectos.
When detachment of insurrectos ran
across the plain in the direct fire of
the fede"als to effect a sortie which
might draw the federals from the
house which they occupied, Gen. Ma
dero became visibly excited. He was
eager to get to the front and thrust
himself into the battle but his staff
officers restrained him.
The insurrectos tonight control the
river bank and are aiding refugees,
especially women and children. in
reaching places of safety. They have
taken possession Of many stores and
are procuring food in the house where
they have chartered themselves.
While Gen. Navarro is said to have
sufficient ammunition and provisions
to hold out at least a week against
the kind of attack the rebels made
today, the rebels, it is said, will be
able to harass Navarro for that length
of time. The rebels made considerable
progress today, however, and it will
cause no surprise if they capture the
town in another days fighting.
Some of the rebel political leader;
in Ell Paso, who thought that Juarez
had been taken sent communications
to Gen. Navarro suggesting that he
surrender the town in the interest of
humanity. The old general smiled
when he received these requests and
continued to give orders to his staff.
Navarro was reported to be seen walk
ing about the streets directing the
lighting, but insurrectos deny this.
The insurrectos are known to have
orders to watch for the federal leader
and capture him alive.

dreds occupied the houses within 100
yards on every side. Their fire was
rapidly demolishing the building.
There was no other alternative for
Gen. Navarro but to yield.
Shrapnel was being poured into the
hollow square Of the barracks. Many
federal cavalry horses were killed.
The soldiers crowded the place to it's
capacity. Only a few loopholes from
which they shot at the insurrectos
pierced its sides.
