It was natural that our men should
have taken up arms in defense of
their fresides, but this alien, who
espoused the cause Of the South
from lofty, patriotic reasons is sure
ly deserving of all the honor we can
do his memory, If those connected
with him by ties of blood do not look
upon it as their duty. He left one son
and namesake, who lived for while
out West with his cousin, Robert
Lincoln, and afterwards came back
to the the South and married in Au-
gusta, Ca, and has now gone West
again, but it is not known just where
he is now"

News and Courier:

News and Courier:
The following brief account OF
DR.. George Todd, who was a devoted
surgeon in the Confederate army,
was written by Mrs. A. c. Ancrum,
Of Camden, S. C. The fact that DR..
Todd was a brother-in-alw of Abra-
ham Lincoln lends additional interest
to the sketch. It has been sent to The
News and Courier by Mrs. Ancrum's
son, MIR. Thomas Ancrum, with the
comment that, although 'this paper
was written a number Of years ago,
the facts remain the same" Mr.. An
crum says further that his mother,
Gin spite of her advanced years, con-
tinues writing for local historical
societies.
''At the old Quaker cemetery at
Camden, S. c., there are many
graves of the Confederate soldiers
who went from this town and vi
cinity, most of which bears names and
dates, but, as in many Southern
cemeteries, there are many others
which bear the sad inscription, 'un-
known and it is the self-imposed
duty of the ladies of the Memorial
Association to see that not one but
that has it's laurel wreath and bunch
Of sweet spring flowers on each Me-
mortal Day in memory Of their heroic
defense of their country.
'sThe ceremonies on that day are
simple but very impressive and never
fail to draw a large crowd or cease
to be of mournfu1 interest. Not long
ago it was determined to make list
of all the soldiers whose bodies lay
in the old cemetery awaiting the roll
call on Judgment day and have the
names read aloud on Memorial Day
and when the names Of the dead were
solemnly called by white-ha1red
veteran we realized as never be-
fore, how many from 1h1S Small COM
munity had given their lives for their
country.
In charge Of Hospital.
Among the names read that day
was that of brother-in-law OF
Abraham Lincoln, DR.. George Todd,
and it seemed that a mistake had
been made by placing it among those
who fought for Southern rights, but
been a Confederate slodier and had
given aid to the rebellion' His rank
was that Of surgeon and he had
charge, near the close OF the war, of

met a beautiful Southern girl (who
afterwards became his wife), as, in
the roll of 'ministering angel she
visited the sick and wounded SOL
diers. They lived here for while and
later in Barnwell, another South
Carolina town, where she died a few
years after, and he continued to live
until about ten years ago, he too, died
and his body was brought here and
laid beside that Of his first love. She
was before her marriage Miss Matte
Lyles and those who remember her
dwell enthusiastically on her rare
beauty and charm Of manner. 1t is
not surprising that after his good

fair Southern girl he was willing to

South or how he happened to join

knew him intimately that he disliked
his brother-in-law. Lincoln, and was
very bitter in his feelings against all
he stood for and that may be the rea-
son why his name is never mentioned
in any account published of the Lin
coin and Todd families. When this
story was offered to The Home
Journal not long after they publish
ed, what purported to be full &C
count of the Todd family, in which
no mention was made Of this own
brother of Mrs. Lincoln, and their
attention was called to this fact, but
it was not accepted, as they said it
would not be expedient' to publish
it just now. Perhaps they thought
it would mortify his family to have
it known that one of them forsook
his home and friends to help the
South, but it would seem that a
great-souled, magnanineous man, like
Abraham Lincoln would have ad-
mired a man who was willing not on
ly to risk his life, but to estrange
friends and kindred, because he felt
that he had to do what he did if he
would be true to himself and his
honest convictions.
Grave Not Marked.
t'Dr. Todd's grave has never been
marked and it would seem the
bounded duty of the U. D. C. to have
headstone suitably inscribed placed
where his body lies, and not be con-
tent with decorating it once a year.

HARDING NAMES
TOLBERT AGAIN

Washington, Dec. 9.-The presi-
dent today returned the nomination
Of Joseph W. Tolbert to be marshal
of the Western district of South Caro-
lima, to the senate. Senator N. B. Dial
of South Carolina, who has fought
the nomination of Tolbert, will con-
tinue; to fight, it is announced to-
night. The senator is hopeful that
the subcommittee considering the
nomination will report it adversely
and thus make unnecessary bitter
fight in the senate. The belief here is
that Tolbert will never be confirmed.
Washington, Dec. 9.-Joseph w.
Tolbert, who was nominated today
for third time by President Hard
ing to be United States marshal for
the Western district Of South Caro-
lima, can not resume the duties OF
that office, which he filled for some
weeks under recess appointment
that expired when it failed Of con-
firmation in the special session OF
congress, ending Monday, until his
nomination is confirmed by the SEN
ate, according to opinions expressed
here today in well informed quarters.
In the meantime, Nelson R. Greene,
Democrat, who succeeded Tolbert by
appointment of Federal Judge H. H.
Watkins, having been sworn in at An
derson, S. c., early this week, will
continue to act as marshal. Opinion
to this effect is based on precedents,
it was explained.
Tolbert, Republican executive COM
mitteeman from his state, was NOM
mated by President Harding to the
marshalship at the last regular ses-
sion of congress. Senator Dial of
South Carolina opposed confirmation
in the senate, urging the charge that
the nominee had been convicted In
the courts and was ineligible. He sue
ceeded in preventing the nomination
being confirmed.

another weakness cropped out here
this season when certain players
performed on Sunday for the WASH
ington club. though they had been
through Q tough game In Philadei-
phia the day before. This shifting
about Of players, today with one
eleven and the next with another,
tended to stifle interest among foot
ball fans accustomed to watching
youngsters battling only for dear
old alma mater. .---
Conway says the eligibility rules
are the most important thing con-
nected with the professional game.
He's right. Tampering with college
players will kill the game quicker
than anything else. II the college
player believes he loses caste by
playing professionally after his
alma mater stuff is done, where
will the drawing cards come from?
Without drawing cards, what will
the pros have to tempt the public!

ENGLISH POLO METHODS
IMPRESS U. s. PLAYER

], Watson Webb. a member of the
American polo team, has given his i'm
pressions Of English polo in the Lon
don Polo Monthly as follows: ct was
very much impressed by the efficient
way English polo was run and how
everybody could count definitely on
play at certain times on certain days.
Also I was impressed with the amount
OF polo played around London and the
amount played at each field, which,
however, I must confess. did not help
the fields very much. especially in that
dry season, when water could not be
used. The clubs extended to US every
courtesy. and certainly every player
played against was q thorough
sportsman. Not a single disagreeable
incident occurred In any of our match
games or. naturally, In the r,atches
themselves.
"It seems to me remarkable how
many ponies are developed In England,
and think this IL due to the fact that
the average horsemanship Of players
Is much higher than In this country,
and therefore not nearly 20. many
ponies are spoiled and discarded"
