hing capital to meet these new conditions, sea island planting was largely deferred. He moved his family to Savannah, Ga., and engaged in the life-insurance business, for which he was well qualified. He finally made his home in Hampton county, and planted short staple cotton with some measure of success in difficult times. This too imperfect tribute of respect is finished. Would it were worthier. I could do no less in memory of one gone before, who filled my eye in early life as a public-spirited, forceful citizen, and later a gallant soldier. It had been my privilege to know him, to feel the radiant atmosphere which habitual courtesy and sparkling conversation generated around him, and when the sad news of his death came to me I realized that a kind, hopeful and brave spirit had passed from earthly view, which for so many years had shone conspicuously, as well in the sweet amenities as in the stern realities of life!

[The excellences of the original essentials of manliness in one who has so notably exemplified them as has Major Courtenay, as defender and sustainer of right, in the fields of war and journalism, and so continuously in historical research and in municipal government—give earnest of the privilege of reprinting, in these pages, the following contribution to the g ceaseless energy accomplished wonderful results. Captain Peeples survived the war, and lived for many years an honored and highly esteemed citizen of Barnwell county, holding offices of responsibility and trust to the satisfaction of his constituents. His death was universally regretted. It is a privilege, which I highly appreciate, that has enabled me, even at this late period, to write a line in memory of so gallant and loyal a Carolinian. Wm. A. Courtenay. Innisfallen, August, 1898

This was received from the accomplished writer since they were printed although it preceded them in the date of original publication. Whilst the articles are mutually illustrative they are not affected in their value by being printed as they are in this volume. Major Courtenay writes as to the artillery heroes of the Battle of Honey Hill: It was just wonderful what the boys did—Why, a rabbit could not have crossed the road. —Ed.] It is remarkable enoug which the loyalty of the armies to the flag and the forbearance of the people in their homes for the sake of The Cause have forbid all reference to or mention!

The exemplification of Captain Courtenay, as soldier and citizen, commends itself to the emulation of all.

, has been fully completed. The difference of interest, to the maturities of the bonds, amounted to $1,420, and the total sum of principal and interest was $16,420. Sixteen bonds, numbered from 1 to 16, of $1,000 each, and four hundred and twenty dollars in cash, were duly received and turned over to the Treasurer. This cash, and the surplus cash on hand, authorized a deposit of $1,000, with the Chicora Bank, at Pelzer, S. C., interest at 5 per cent, semi-annually. The total fund now stands at $17,000, and the annual income, $850. It is the only permanent Confederate benefaction in all the Southland! As in all human probability this is the last service of moment I can expect to render to the corps, I enclose the letters and papers in my hands, to be in the hands of the Secretary; and with every good wish for the future of the W. L. I., and the expression of my high regards for each of you personally, I remain, Your very obedient servant, Wm. A. Courtenay, Chairman.
