STATES RIGHTS GIST
Sketch of Noted South Carolina Con-
feoerate Soldier.

The following sketch was written FOR
the John Hames Chapter, U. d. c., of
Jonesville, S. c., and has been sent to
The Sunday News for publication by
the historical department of the South
Carolina Division of the United Daugh-
ters OF the Confederacy.
States Rights Gist, the subject Of
this sketch, was born in Union District,
South Carolina, September 81, 1881.
His parents were Nathaniel and Eliza
beth Mcdaniel Gist. AS his name i'm
plies he was born about the time the
question of States rights was agitated.
His early education was received un-
der the management Of Mr.. Joseph
Foster, a Northern man, who was
known as Yankee Joe Foster, father of
Capt. A. H. Foster, who was a gallant
Confederate soldier.
! Mr.. Joseph Foster was employed TO
teach near the Gist homestead, now
owned by Mr.. Free, and which is one
of the few grand old country homes of
state of preservation.
States Rights Gist at an early age
went to the Fitting School at Winns-
boro, S. c., then in 1S49 entered the
Law Scmool, at Harvard, graduated
from there in 1854 came to Union and
commenced the practice of his profess
sion with Mr.. b. +. Arthur under the
name of Arthur & Gist.
About this time his military career
commenced by his being elected cap
tain Of the Johnson Rifles, named for
Governor Johnson, who presented the
company with rifles.
In 1860 he formed a partnership with
/ Mr.. VIM. Munro, which ended at the
beginning of the War Between the
States. When Mr.. VIM. Fl. Gist was
Governor from 1858 to 1850 States
Rights Gist was sent by him to con-
fer with seven governors of the South
ern States in regard to secession.
In 1859 he was elected brigadier gen.
Cral of the militia Of upper South
Carolina. In December, 1860, the legs-
latuTe elected him Adjutant and In
spectOr General OF the State, which
position he held until 1861, when
President Davis appointed him briga-
dcr general of the Confederate States
army. He was placed in command on
James Island and in the city OF Char
| lesion. He fought in the battle of
ScceSsionvile. In May, 1863, his COM
mand was ordered to the Western
army.
Just as he was leaving the state he
was married to Miss jamie Adams,
daughter of Ex-Governor Adams. He
remained with the Western army and
was killed at the battle Of Franklin.

That Bassd Concert

There are brighter days ahead for
the Holyoke band. The concert last
week in the Peerless theater put the
people in better frame of MIND.
There has been an Indifference that
may have done little harm, but it
did no good. Since the concert there
is nothing but favorable comment.
Everybody was pleased with the en-.
tertainment, The audience was a
happy one and enjoyed every number.
Not an opportunity to applaud was
let pass. We remarked to Prof.
Bunch that when the boys responded
to an encore II something lively was
given instead Of part OF the num-
ber just rendered. the audience would
enjoy 1t better. He answered, 1--WE
fell down there, but the reason we
We're not prepared was because we
have never had an opportunity to
respond to an encore"
The band boys are pleased with
the splendid way in which the audi
ence responded to their efforts, which
encourages them to work harder and
utilize every opportunity to improve.
Another concert will probably be
given just before the summer con-
cert season opens.

Saue the Lalun

A few weeks ago we published a
warning from the county commission
ers to the public to keep of the lawn
in the court yard. Then there was
one path across the lawn north of
the court house. Now there are two
paths. Unless the people heed the
warning and use the walks the lawn
will be partially ruined by spring.
Just why the people are so indiffer-
ent in doing what everybody knows
is wrong is hard to understand. No
doubt many who read the request
Of the county commissioners are
walking on the lawn Just as though
1t were part of the street or road
and not worth considering.
Lawns are valuable anywhere. and
especially here. where they take
much care. Keep out OF the class OF
the law-breaker and property-destroy-
er. Keep Of the lawn in the court
