Help for the Essayists.

Elsewhere in this issue will be
found an article written by Mrs.
Nixon, of the William Wallace
Chapter, Daughters of the Confeder-
acy, of Union, S. C. 1t is an ex-
cellent article and we publish it for
the benefit of the young girls who
are trying for the prize offered by
the Abbeville Chapter of the
Daughters Of the Confederacy, for
the best essay on the Privations and
Hardships of the Women of the
Sixties. ".... ,
The Daughters could not have Sc
lected a better subject. It is the
unwritten history of the Confeder-
acy that should be preserved. Col.
W. L. Miller, Mr.. Ed. Calhoun, Mr..
George White, Mrs. Marshall, Mrs.
N. c.. Gary, Mrs. Margaret Syfan,
Mrs. R. R. Hemphill, Mrs. Sallie

others can give valuable help to the
young girls.

as those who would not be comforted
in fact they would not be comforted.
They had just visited the express
office to get the two gallons which
had been ordered several days be-
fore, and which arrived Thursday
night ready for action. But in the
presence of song they were in the
midst Of sorrow. Manager Stall
lings read to them the new law on
a gallon a month, with his directions
to re-ship all packages in excess of
this amount. No amount of argu-
ment or persuasion would change
the law, no lawyer could be found
who would acivise a division on the
premises, and after consultation, it
was decided that it would be too hu-
initiating to see g. gallon leak out
so that the package would comply
with the law. So the two gallons
had to go back, the gentlemen hated
to see them go; they gave the old
two gallon jug a long and last fare
well, and sadly they turned away.
When last seen the two gentlemen
were trying to work the two gallon
jug into couplet in somewhat
these terms:-
"Of all sad words of tongue or pen,
The saddest are these, it might
have BEEN"
two one-gallon jugs.

GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN

The two prominent gentlemen
who came towards the public square
from the direction of the Episcopal
church Friday morning, looking sad,
forlorn and utterly forsaken, and
who were seemingly weeping, had
not been to funeral. No promi-
nent man in the city mad died and
failed to remember them in his will.
Nobody was sick and likely to die.
Neither had lost mule and cotton
had not gone down. Both still had
money in the bank and credit about
town, but they apparently .grieved
