I PUBLiSHED WEEKLY WINNSBORO, S. C. WEDNESDAY, MAY i6, 1906. ESTABLISHED 1844. MEMORIAL Largely Attende from All Parts o Col. Lumpkin C Audience==Cros Awarded 18. Memorial Day was a memora- , ble day in the history of Winns- 1 boro and of Fairfield county.I It was truly veteran's day and they were here from all parts of the county to enjoy it. And from the many expressions that i were heard on every h a n d throughout the day, they did en joy it and that to the fullest From the time that the school .children of Mt. Zion first made their appearance in the front of the line of the veterans that was ] forming at the corner of College I :and Congress streets, as the < -town clock was striking 10, till I the ladies, as the sun was sink- i ing in the west, returned from the cemeteries, where they had placed their beautiful floral 'tributes on the graves of the I 'heroes, whose memory they thus honored, everything seemed to .-move without a flaw and the ex ercises in all their details were well nigh perfect. The town lhad been given over wholly to -the veterans, and however much it was a pleasure for them to en - joy the courtesies that were ex itended, it was no less a pleasure < to the good people of this com- < Ununity to contribute to making 4 ithe day one long to be remem- I "bered by them on account of the I delightful social intercourses. I The opening feature was the appearance of the pupils of Mt. ] Zion in line of march from the I school building to the court house. The larger girls led the ] way, the two fore-most each.. waving a Confederate flag. Then followed the pupils of the lower grades, each pupil carrying a beautiful bouquet of flowers 4 that was to be used in the deco- ] rations that afternoon. They marched in splendid order and made a most impressive scene, one that brought the old Rebel yell out in voluminous force. Behind the Mt. Zion pupits came the veterans, who had been formed in line of march by the snarshal of the day, Capt. W. G. .Jordan, who still possesses the eniiitary spirit in a marked de-1 ~ gree and is a master of a body of -oldiers. The old soldiers too, ~as they marched, though many .of them gave evidence of the. passing years, manifested no ittle of the martial spirit of years gone by, when they march ed upon the field of battle. At the stand in the court house yard .i. E. McDonald, master of ceremonies, took charge of the exercises and af tari music by tha band Rev. C. E. MfcDonald in a most impressive manner invoked the blessings of the God of hosts on these sur vivors of the Lost Cause and: upon their sons and daughters. Then followed a song, "Tenting. on the Old Camp Ground," by the pupils of Mt. Zion. The address of welcome was ,aae by Capt. H. A.. Gaillard. -the old hero, who is still loved E~nd honored by his Comrades of foreaer years and there w~as in ~his language such a tenderness of ;feeling that every one must have ~felt that the warm spoken words ~were truely uatterances from the lheart. The welcome was indeed cordial and eloquently and feel Engly spoken, just a suitable ex pression of the real feelings of the community in having these honored guesis in oar midst. "'Dixie" by the Mt. Zion pupils was the next number and when they had concluded, the ban'd then struck up the same strain a~nd there followed such a cheer ing as only Dixie produces. Mr. McCants in his introduc-' tion of Col. Lumnpkin, the orator of the day, was most ha.ppy. He was at his best, and, in keeping with the spirit of the day, lie paid beautiful tribute to the heroism of the soldiers and the *part the women had played mn immortalizing their brave deeds. *Col. Lumpkin was greeted ~wiQ a great round of applause when hec arose and with an even ~reater a'pplause when he took his seat after a short, but most forcible and mostelqet address. No wonder this son of Georgia is so muchi in demnd for these gatherings of the old soldiers, for he is just full of theI ,sentiments of patriotism that amjl burn within their breasts' EXERCISES d by Veterans f the County== aptivates His ses of Honor 1 Veterans. iud gives utterance to these lofty :houghts in a manner that is ver so simple and yet ever so ,aptivating. Any synopsis of 2is address would be an iniustic. [t was a great treat to his old .omrades to hear from him again uch beautiful references to their ourageous deeds and to the loble sacrifices of their mothers, vives and sisters; and surely uch eloquent words did not fall ipon the ears of. his younger iearers without arousing in hem a nobler conception and a leeper appreciation of what their athers and mothers w e n t hrough in those trying days. A number that was not on the rogram, though none the less mjoyable, was the expression of ;hanks to Winnsboro on the part )f the veterans, which was made y that son of Fairfield who is till honored at his old home, apt. R. H. Jennings, state :reasurer. Imediately after the speaking vas over the veterans were lined ip in the street in frou of the ourt house and as the namas f the 183 veterans for whom rosses had been secured were alled, each veteran stepped two aces to the front, the line con aining 137. Thus formed they nade an impressive sight and vhile still in line their Crosses of lonor were pinned upon them by he following young ladies from rohn Bratton Chapter of the )aughters of the Confederacy: Kisses Elizabeth Cureton, Mary - lison, Isabel le Douglass. dam~ ordan, Anna Beaty, Theo 3abb, Bessie McMaster, Laura lerig, Marie McCants, Tirza Ketchin, and Maggie Neil. It was jiast 12 o'clock when his interesting g-xercise was con :luded and the bour till dinner was spent by the old veterans in a quite social way. At 1 o'clock :he veterans were again formed in line and marched to the Des %otes building, where the ladies, tssisted by a committee of gentle men, had left n~othing whatever indone for their ,comfort or their m~oyment. The dinner was not nly an elaborate and bouptiful ane, but served in suich an easy~ aome-like manner by the maidens' i waiting that it seemed that very one had persoual attention md that it was just one great >ig family set down to one com non table and that was just wha t was. After the veterans had assed out of the building more han 150 others came in and partook of what remained and still there were bucketsfu~l taken up. At 6 o'c'ock in the afternoon :he ladies, in kehping with a beautiful custom that has pre vailedi for years, went to the arous cemeteries ane decorated the graves of the Confederate lead. It was iqticeable that many of the children assist~ed in this most beautiful tribute. And when the exercises of the day were over there was but one sntiment on the part oT the visitors and that was that Winus boro ha~d done hcrself prond. And on the part of the home peope there wa rejoicing that it had been done and the dotermi nati-n that it must be done again another year. TDESE GOT CIIOSSEs OF HoNORt.

Dixie, a National Hymn. In refering to the matter of a "national hymn," the New York Sun recently declared rightly that such a thing was not a mat ter of law nor of congressional or other kinds of resolutions, but that a real national hymn is one which the people will spon taneously accept. In commenting upon the sub ject. the New Bedford Meicury, a New England paper, says: "If the truth is told about everybody with a musical ear has a sneaking preference for 'Dixie., It can be whistled and sung with satisfaction, while the 'Star Spangled Banner' lacks the qualiLy which pleases the masses and is quite unsingable. There is nothing more uninspiring than to hear an average company of people drone the 'Star Spangled Banner.' If this be treason, make the most of it." There is no question about that paper being entirely correct. "Dixie" stirs up the Southern heart especially, but is almost as popular in the North and else where as here. It strikes a re sponsive chord and brings forth cheers wherever played or sung. It seems to-fill the bill, according to the standard laid down by The Sun. The Savannah News says the words- of "Dixip" are not so inspiring, but the music is all right. If we are to have a national hymn to be sung at popular assemblages some poet can grind out words to fit the tune and maybe to inspire, so let it be "Dixie."-Colmbia Re cord. Letter to W. R. Rabb & Co. Winnsboro, S. C. Dear Sirs: What is lumber worth? "Depends on the lumber," "what sort do you want?" That's how some people talk about paint. They ask: "What'll yog painL my hpuse for?! The Yankee nswer is: COW do you want it painted? One coat? two coats? three coats? first-class or cheap?" The proper answer is; "I want the best paint put on as it ought to be." That's I~eyoe; buy the psgal answer is; '1. want a good job; but I want it cheap." Which means: I want you to paint it for nothing. I want~ to be fooled. ILead-and-oil is the costliest paint there is: not the best; it used to be best. Devoe is best since zinc came in: Devoe lead and zinc. Zinc costs no more than lead; and we grind by machinery.

Shortly after the Civil wa~r Senator Vance was lecturing in Boston. "Fellow Citizensi, he began, "you are all my fellow citizens. We all belong to this great coun tv. We of the South wanted to leave you, but you wotld not let is go, and now we are with you to stay. I belong to you. You belong to me." A voice in the rear of the hall cried: "Aren't you the nzan who said one Southerner could whip ten Yankees with a cornstalk?" Instantly Vance replied: "Yes my friend,'I am the man. I said that one Southerner could whip ten Yankees with a cornstalk. I believed it then and I believe it now. The trouble was that the Yakes didn't want to be whip ped that way."
