IN. Memoriam: Carson jenkins.

another life has been given for our
country: another name has been
sadded TO the. frightening list Of the
boys OF the Sumter High School,
whose supr ,me sacrifice has been ac-
cepted In behalf of the nation and
7theestat they love.
For days Carson jenkins many
friends had been in anxious suspense
about his condition. Conflicting ru-
more about his death were scattered
every day. AS these were contradict
ed, his friends began to hope that he
would at last successfully combat
the dread disease Of pneumonia.
Early Sunday morning, however, the
authentic news reached Sumter that
he had died at three o'clock the night
before.
While he was so stubbornly resist
ing the disease, many inquiries were
made and many comments werei ut
tered Most Of them were of this
nature: "I am certainly sorry to
hear it: everybody liked Carson Jen-
kins." Carson was a big-hearted
boy" There has never been
greater mutual devotion between son
ard mother than between Carson and
his mother"
These remarks seemed to have
found the essence of Carson's nature
and characteristics. He was a big
hearted boy, friendly and cordial in
his bearing, and generous Of soul.
Few sons have ever had to a greater
degree higher characteristics OF filial
devotion. He was indeed devoted to
his mother.
His country has taken the young
life that he offered upon the altar
of patriotism; but nothing can take
away the Immortality of self-sacrifice
in behalf of great cause. Nothing
can take away the fragrance Of his
friendly spirit. Nothing can remove
the memory of his devotion to his
mother, so erninently characteristic
Of his life.
The sincere sympathies Of our
whole community go cut in great
abundance to his mother and aunt
who gave themselves in unstinted
devotion in the service of their boy
and the hopes of sympathizing city
express themselves in wishes OF
speedy and lasting comfort to these
sorely stricken and sorrowing souls.
