SKETCH OF FISH DAM CHAPTER

The Fish Dam chapter, u. d. c.,
was organized at Carlisle, S. c., by
Mrs. T. R. TRIMMER of Spartanburg
and Mrs. w. B. May of Carlisle on
August 26th, 1913.
Mrs. w. B. May was elected presi-
dent and has been reelected each time,
but on account of illness, resigned and
Mrs. E. E. Fleming was elected, only
holding the Office for few months.
AS soon as Mrs. May was able to
attend the meetings again Mrs. Flem-
ing resigned in favor of Mrs. Nav, as
the latter is deeply interested in the
work, sparing neither time nor energy
to make the chapter one of the best
in the State. Mrs. May is strong
intellectual woman, natural born
leader, and makes most excellent
president, handling the members of
the chapter with that wisdom and good
judgment which accomplishes the best
results. The chapter was organized
with 26 charter members under the
name Of Fish Dam chapter. Since
that time several have Joined and
they now have a large chapter doing
splendid work, 50 members in all.
Regular meetings are held the second
Thursday in each month at the differ
ent homes and good literary pro-
gram carried out, besides the business
and social features. Contributions
have been made to the Arlington and
Shiloh funds, also to the Winthrop's
student fund, with all dues paid up
and nice balance in the treasury. A
medal was offered to the school chill
dren for the best essay on "The Con-
federacy."
Mr.. Rowland G.. Hill won the medal
with splendid paper and Mr.. A. L..
CASTOR delivered the medal in July
Of this year, making a splendid ad-
dress on the History of Union County.
1t has been the aim of the presi-
dent of the chapter to make the or
ganization one of real service, as well

SKETCH OF THE LIFE OF
CAPT. JOHN F.. HAMES
written by Miss Mayme Jeffriesl

written by Miss Mayme Jeffries)
Capt. John Hames, the second son
of Lemuel Hames and Nancy Jones
fiames, was born near Jonesville, Oct.
23, 1896. He was bright, studious
boy and, we are told, was very fond
of music. He acquired the best edu-
cation possible that the country
schools of that day afforded. He
grew to young manhood with every
promise of becoming a useful citizen.
On December 8, 1858, he was mar
ried to Miss Amanda Eison, the beau
tiful daughter of Mr.. +. w. Eison. OF
this union two children were born.
One died in infancy, the other child
is Miss Anna Hames of Jonesville.
When the sound of war was heard
in the South, calls for volunteers were
made to defend the homeland from a
tyrant enemy. True to the instincts
of noble nature, he felt as all true
men did, that he must fight for the
liberty and rights of his country and
State and home; that he must leave
his quiet happy home life to defend
his country's honor.
He volunteered in June, 1861, and
with the patriotic Pea Ridge Company,
5th S. G. Regiment, under the gallant
Col. Micah Jenkins, he left for Vir-
ginia. Soon, however, on account of
i'll health, he was compelled to return
home.
Shortly afterwards a company,
known as Company B, was formed of
the young men of the neighborhood.
John Hames was elected End lieuten-
ant. This Company B, 18th regiment
was sent to Charleston, where it did
good service defending the coast.
