The Senti nel appreci ways g-ives fu Ilvalue fr Visit 14) (have of Gen. Marion Dear Sentinel: Recently I had the great pleasure of going to see the old home and grave of Gen. Francis Marion, the "Swamp Fox" of revolu tionary fame. The place is called "Belle Isle" and is in Berkley county, some twelve miles below the Orange burg county line and about fifty miles above Charleston. The old house in which the famous general lived and died is still standing, but going to de cay; the yard is covered with briars and bushes, and the grave near the house is almost hidden by the under growth. It seemed to me to be a shame that our state had let this place go to ruin and let the weeds and briars almost hide from view the grave of one, if not the best, soldier of the revo lutionary war. Almost a hundred I years after his death the legislature of ,South Carolina erected a granite monu ment with metal plates with his name and a bare mention of his service to the country. That was good, but not enough for one who had done so much for the cause of freedom. The state ought to buy a plot of ground where the house and grave is and build a concrete wall or iron fence around it and keep it 'in good condition" If the state does not do this, then it ought to be done by the Daughters of the Revolution. Many of our patriotic people over the state would be willing to contribute to such a f'und. The name and deeds of Marion ought never to die, but on the contrary ought to be handed down from father to son for all time to come. I remem b er as a child hearing my father tell of how Marion would pounce upon the Tories and British, kill many of them, and in some instances all of them, then back to his hiding place in the swamp without the loss of a man. "A moment in the British camp, A moment and away; Back to the pathless forest Before the peep of day." There is a place in Sumter county where tradition says Marion slipped up on a company of the enemy while they were eating their supper and killed every man, not one escaping. That place is callod by the citizens of the community "1oody Pond" to this day. All honor the memory of this brave soldier and wise general who "lived ; without fear and died without re - proach." D.
