Washington, D. O., Feb. N.-The

an amendment to the federal constitu.

ator, considered to be equivalent to an
election, is attracting the greater
amount OF interest among politicians
in congress in these first of the years
fights, but the contest in South Dakota
for the republican nomination for sen
ator also is coming In for considerable
attention.
The forces of the Wilson administra.
tion are back of the candidacy of Mr.
Underwood; the antisaloon league and
it's allied forces are back of the oandi-
dacy of Capt, HobsoD, for they believe
that If he should be successful In this
contest that the cause of national pro
hibition thereby would be given tre-
mendous boost.
The republican contest In South Da-
kota for the senatorial nomination is
especially interesting to republicans in
congress, largely because of the per.
sonality of the opposing candidates..
but also, for other reasons. One Of
these is that the result on March "a, il
representative Burke shsll be the win

which was not decided in 1912, whether

THE MINUTE MEN"

Immediately after the passage of
the ordinance of Secession, the Iegis-
lature of South Carolina authorized
the governor to organize ten regi-
ments of infantry for State service.
In answer to this call company of
Minute Men" was organized at once
in Union district. Jas. M. Gadberry
was chosen captain and the. COM
pany went to Charleston on Jan. IL,
1864.
These soldiers were needed for i'm
mediate service. They had no time
to get uniforms, but wore such cloth
ing as they had. Of course every
man had q soft black felt hat and
1T was easy enough to turn up the
brim on the left side and fasten it
with a minute mans cockade. This
was made of dark blue ribbon anil
had tiny Palmetto tree in the CEN
ter.
Capt. Gadberry's company was en-
rolled as Co. E. 1st Regiment S. C. w..
Before their departure the ladies of
Union presented to them handsome
flag. 1t is said that the presenta
tion was to have been made from the
piazza steps of the old Female Acad-
emy, but that the flag was really pre-
sented to the company from the pi-
azza of the old Culp home by Orderly
Sergeant James B. Steadman of the
Pea Ridge Volunteers. This would
nave been graceful compliment to
the Orderly Sergeant as we'll as to
Gadberry's men since the Sergeant
and Lieut.. Ed. ]. McKissick by the
vote of the Pea Ridge Vols. had re-
celved permission to serve with the
minute men" until their own COM
pany should be called into service.
The date of the departure of the
II, 1861, was notable day in old Bn-
ion district.
One of the little girls of that day.
now women whose "sun is wester
ing, writes: az was not at the de-
pot to bid the minute men" from
the fact that my poor little heart was
acnlng from having seen my fathers
body laid to rest the day before, but
as the train rolled out of Union tina:
morning it was crowded with brave
soldiers and the shouts that filled the
air would have deadened the martial
music of big brass bands" We
watched the train as it moved out of
sight on its way to Charleston and
listened to the farewell shouts as
they died away in the distance"
In early September of 1862 a train
rolled into Union, but there were no
shouts to herald it's approach or to
greet its arrival. The waiting crowd
were in tears as the fed sad-faced
soldiers who were on board lifted the
casket that held the remains of James
M. Gadberry, the gallant captain of
the minute men,, and bore it to the
Village cemetery. There is not one
living to tell the story of that burial,
but we know that the women and
children of Union covered that grave
with their most beautiful flowers and
in spite of the fearful ravages of war
the people of Union found means to
erect over that grave the handsome
monument that bears this inscription:
James M. Gadberry
Colonel 18th Regiment S. C. ".
Fell at
Manassas Plains, August 30th, 1862
Chivalfous, generous and brave
True to his country and his faith
He so bore himself
In the varied walks of life

That his memory
Is his noblest monument.
