or Interest to Veterans.


The following circular will prove
OF general interest to Veterans:
Anderson, S. c., May 20, 1920.
TO Confederate Veterans Of South
.Carolina:
The number Of U.C.V. camps have
in the past five years dwindled from
SO to 43 camps, and there Is no good
reason for this, as there are still some
veterans left in each county. There
are many advantages accruing to
members Of the U.C.V. camps. They
can help each other in many ways,
and I especially direct attention to
Section of the Pension Law of
1920, called the "Baskin Pension
Act County pension boards are
elected by the Confederate camps of
the several counties" etc., 1t says,
"and 1T Is therefore manifest that
membership in a U.C.V. camp will
greatly facilitate your chances of COL
Letting your pension" Besides, 1.-The
fellowship Of kindred minds'' is
worth much. The fee Of S cents for
each member Is a small considera-
tion compared with the benefits. Any
body of veterans who wish to organ
lze camps can get all particulars and
blanks by addressing Col. d. Card
we'll, Adjutant General and Chief of
STAFF, Palmetto Building, Columbia,
5. c., or c. A. Reed, Commanding S.
q. Division u C. "

Of the RimrOdt estate. When the
rain came up in the early afternoon
Mr.. Elliott and his son came to the
house for shelter, both sitting on the
porch. The younger Elliott took his
seat at the outer edge Of the porch,
leaning back in his chair, and was
reading, when there was a loud re-
port, considerable shaking OF the
house timbers, followed by young
man endeavoring to regain his pre-

roof Of the house, going in between
the weatherboarding and ceiling, and
the lightning found its exit at a point
where wire was attached to the
weatherboarding. 1t so happened
that the porch post against which
Bert was leaning was the point at
which the wire line was attached at
the end away from the house. AS the
electricity burst through the weather
boarding 1t followed the wire to the
post, knocking Bert unconscious for
the moment. The back Of his head
was not only given severe jolt,
which left great bump" but his
hair was scorched, and two scars on
his cheek show where the burnt wire
