REUNION ON TEE GTE.
Speeches by Generals Kinnedy, But- j
ler and Hagood.
Notwithstanding the inclemency of j
the weather a large crowd numbering1
between fifteen hundred and two j
thousand were in attendance at the j
reunion of the survivors on the 5th. i
Indeed, it was not until 8 o'clock in i
the morning, that it seemed possible j
that the programme of the day could j
be carried out Rain was steadily |
pouring down and the clouds looked i
heavy and threatening. At that hour j
however, a considerable number of \
people were already upon the streets,!
the rain had ceased, and for the rest j
of the day until late in the afternoon I
only one or two slight showers came
in the way and every thing went on
smoothly.
At 12 o'clock M, the . procession j
formed in front of the _ (Jourt-house '
and marched to the stana in the fol- i
lowing order:
Capt D. J. Griffith, Marshal of the j
'day.
Maj. D. T. Barre, M. H. Witt, Dr.'
W. T. Brooker and W. M. JohnsoD,
Aids to Marshal.
The Columbia Silver Cornet Band.
Survivors bearing tbe ilh JKegiment's
battle flag; tbe flag of Company
K. 13th Regiment; the flag of
Company A. loth Regiment, and the
flag of Company F. 5th Cavalry.
The following companies as far as
we could ascertain were represented:
Captains Griffith's and Koon's companies,
15th Regiment Companies
C, H., L, and K., 20th Regiment
Company K. 13th Regiment; Com-]
pany F. 5th Cavalry; Palmetto Sharp !
Shooters, and such survivor* as could ;
not parade with their former orgauiz-;
ations; the officers of the Survivors' j
^ Association. About three hundred
survivors were in the procession. A i
large number of citizens brought up !
the rear.
The programme at the stand was
opened with several stirring pieces of'
music from the Columbia Silver Cor- J
net Band.
Maj. G. Leaphart, the Chairman, I
then announced that the proceedings i
would be opened with prayer by Rev. j
J. H. Bailey, who performed that duty ]
?n appropriate and impressive j
^manner.
3?aj. Leaphart then said that the
.speakers he was about to introduce
had been, with the survivors present,
in the service and trials of the war, i
and it was net necessary for hitu to
dwell upon their record. Thev had
also done their Stale political service
since, but as this was not a political
meeting he would not say any thing
about that. He then introduced
General John D. Keuuedy as the first
speaker.
We give below a synopsis of the
speeches as reported in the Columbia |
Hegifiler.
He said this was no empty pageant, J
bnt a reunion of men who, after serv- j
ing four years in war, had returned :
to civic duties and the pursuits of
peace?men who, while they mean to
be true to the government they live
under, make no excuse for the past
and scorn the imputation of traitor
and rebel. The day was not far disI
! tant when the causes of the war 11
j would be better understood and its |;
lessons utilized for the good of all;1
sections of our country. The neces- j ^
sities of the country required that the s
war should come. There were mis- j!
understandings which finally led to i 1
the North doing the South great i
wrong. The North and the South j i
construed the Constitution from dif- I
ferent standpoints. African slavery j
was not the main cause of the war. ; c
It was only an important incident, j
which led the way to the discussion : i
of the right of the general govern- ?
menfc to interfere in the affairs of the
States. The Confederate war, as well j i
as that of 177G, was waged for an ab-1 e
stract principle, and therein they {s
both differed from the War of the! 1
Roses and other wars in Europe, ; f
which had their origin in practical' i
grievances or in the desire for power, j c
We of the South fought for principle j ?
and to resist encroachmeuts upon our,
institutions; and, while no section of | f
this country is more loyal to the gen- j ?
eral government than the South is to-11
day, yet let it be proclaimed forever j s
that no true Southern man ever asked f
pardon for the part he bore in the j r
armies of the Confederacy. j [
He bestowed an eloquent eulogy j i
upon the leaders of the Southern t
army, and said that the time was | c
coming when the impartial verdict of! f
history would embalm their names ji
A?wrvn/v Orr-Ziofoof r?f ftftrfll Twfl I C

of tliem, however, far excelled the j c
others, and stood the peers of auy j t
military genius the world has ever j f
produced. These were Jackson andii
Forrest, and he gave an interesting c
description of their different military f
methods and peculiarities. He Would t
not, he said, join in the cry as to the (1
obstinacy and self-opinionacy of the j c
distinguished geutlemen who stood i t
at the head of the Southern Confed- j c
eracy. His great services^his talents.j i
and his sufferings would embalm himl r
forever in the hearts of his people.
But the virtues of the Southern j r
people shone brighter far in the char- j r
acter of the soldiers they sent to the j (
war, and in their devotion, patriot- ' a
ism and self-sacrifices, and the faith 11
they had in the justice of their cause, j c
To pay a tribute to the noble dead, j t
the women of the South are erecting j c
monuments to their memory. "Would j s
that the base of each of these mouu- j
ments could be as broad, its shaft as ! g
lofty and its proportions as beautiful f
as the patriotism, the virtue and the j
lives of these dead heroes. He said r
that it was the duty of the people of t
the South, while honoring their past, t
to look the present and the future in s
the face and realize and adapt them- r
selves to the new order of things.! f
Upon the aesthetic we must engraft i
the practical and the material. ?ue\
glorious attractions of our climate and j c
soil will attract immigrants to our |
borders, and our people must be' f
prepared to meet them and grapple ; \
with them in the race of life. With j s
this infusion of new blood will ioevi- j
tablj come changes in the constitu- j ?
tion of our society. These changes i t
are now beginuing, as the result of f
our contact with other peoples of the j f
world and of our new condition. (
.
Education is essential and must reach :i
every strata of society?not simply in j s
consequence of the franchise but be- i c
cause the struggle of the future will' i
be one of brains and not of muscle. I
In mentioning the changes in our. 1
condition he said that it is a fact that' ?
some of our people reprobated the '
methods of avenging private wrougs ; 1
which wen- formerly in vogue, nndjc
the Leifiskiture has been invoked to i t
*
i rovido a more perfect protection to ' I
person and property; that we are de-1(
termiued to perpetuate catholicity of i i
opinion in this State, and this dispo- j 1
sition has gone abroad more than
ever among our people. These are ; i
some of the changes to which we 11
? i
have to adapt ourselves. After the i
struggle we have gone through in the : 5
past fifteen years our country has (
come forth many fold stronger than s
ever, and to-day we are living in the i
best country and under the best gov-; i
eminent the world ever saw. The, i
example of our fallen heroes tells us j i
to preserve for our prosperity the 1 i
benefits we have won in those struggles,
and the fields where they fell
will yet become shrines where the
fouth of our country will draw inspiration
for noble conduct in the
hture. Let liberty be regulated by
aw, and le t the preseravtion of our
orm of government animate every
member of our community, and let it
)e understood that in religion and in j
politics the law of progress is the law !
>f right. [Applause.]
At the conclusion of General Kenicdy'e
speech little Rosa Meetze pre- j
sented him with a beautiful bouquet. !

id with applause. He spoke with |
;ome complimentary remarks to the j
adies, and followed these up with a
unny auecdote, which captivated the
ludieuce and prepared them to re:eive
the solid advice he was about to
jive them
He said he would not impair the
orce of what had been said by bis
sloquent friend General Kennedy by
nakiug any extended remarks. He
;aw in the audience many familiar
aces that recalled scenes and memoies
which reanimated his heart with
)iide and he did not believe it was j
nconsistent with our new obligations
bat we cherish the memories of our
lead cause and dead heroes with a
eeliug of respect and veneration. It
s not inconsistent with our highest
luty to our common country that we
iccasionally revive those memories as
hey were doing here, and pay homige
to all that is glorious and worthy
n them, arid rescue from oblivion the
levoted co rrnge and patriotic sacriices
of the men and women who made
he Confederate struggle immortal.:
L decent rejpect for the grandeur of!
>ur own achievements will prepare us

lischarge cf the duties of citizenship j
mder the new ponst^tutiop ,and thej[
lew Union.
He said: I need not admonish yon,;
fiy soldier friends, my fellow-com- j
ades, that a faithful obedience to the |
Constitution and laws of the country,!
i cordial support of the proper au- j
horities, is the first and highest duty j
if every soldier who wore the gray;!
hat he can best fulfill the obligations |
if an honorable parole by a strict ob- J
:ervance of his responsibilities as an i
American citizen. This government j
md this Constitution is ours. Our I
orefathers shed their blood for the j
>rinciples of both, and we shed ours, j
lot to destroy those priucipies, out
o perpetuate them as we understood
hem. Republican institutions were
ilways dear to us, and there was
lever a day or an hour during our j
:trnggle for the maintenance of our j
interpretation of the Constitution j
vhen we would have cousented to the i
lestruction of the wo.k of the fathers. J
Chat work lives to-day endowed with j
ill of its essential elements and is as
vortby of our support and guardian-:
;hip as when it contained, in our .'
udgment, the doctrine of secession
ind the protection to slavery. Both
hose features are dead and buried
brever, and their traces are fast dis- j
ippearing. Shall we, the surviving
Confederate soldiers, build upon their :
uins a new country which shall pre-'

>ries of the old whilst we forget and
>nt behind all that is not worthy to
)o remembered and cherished ? The j
lislory of your conduct since the war
tuswers the question affirmatively.,
rhe foundation of that building has (
jeen completed by the peaceable res-j
:uc of our country from the hands of
,he stranger and the grip of the rob-j
;er. We must now go forward and
jomplete the superstructure by keep-'
ng it jealously covered and protected j
jy the mgis of good government.
iTou can only do this by keeping the ;
vhiteness of your souls uncontamina;ed
by contact with Radicalism. 11
ncan by Radicalism that political and !
social dynasty which arises out of the
jorruptible and vicious elements of j
?ociety and has for its basis the rotten \
'oundation of ignorance and imbecil-,!
ty. You have overthrown that dy-;
aasty once. You must keep it down, j
md whenever and wherever it raises i
ts crest in your midst, and in what
ever form, strike it down as you would
a hissing serpent or some* special
abomination.
Radicalism is abroad in the land.
It is stealthily and insidiously watching
its opportunity. It will ^eize you
by the throat when you least expect
it. So keep your lines dressed, your
sentinels out, and heed the Itlarm in
time to save your civilization, for I
can assure you more than Democratic
supremacy is at stake. It ? is not a
political organization alon^that we
have to combat; it. is not a^Miptellectual
contest that wo havo^fo wage
with people of our own race, equally
capable with us of the exercis&of those
powers aud faculties necessary for
good government and equally anxious
with us for its blessings, but a contest
with trained villains directing the
dark masses of ignorance, operating
upon their worst passions aT!3 stimulating
them to the most dangerous
acts of violence and intolerance which
constantly menace the peace of our
society and the safety of our property.
Sometimes this evil manifests itself in
the form of Independentism, sometimes
as a Greenbacker, sometimes it
raises the familiar crest of unadulterated
Radicalism. In any aspect it is
dangerous to the best interests of our
people and must be put dogm
If any man doubts that he has
profited by Democratic rule let bim
take out his tax receipts andj:ompare
them, or let him look at the school
houses, or at the faces of thg darkeys,
and see how much slicker and greasier
they are now than they were under
Radical rule. Let him lock, too, at
the countenances of our purple aud
see how much better satisfied and
happy they are. Some people think
that a Governor ought to tfe a stump
speaker, and that because Governor
Simpson hadn't run around and made
a great deal of fuss that he isn't much.
But his administration hgd^een.one
of justice, honesty and mqdesty. He
(the speaker) didn't have as much respect
for stump speakers now as he
used to have, for he had come to the
conclusion that to be a good stump
speaker it was only necessary to have
a loud voice, plenty of brass and no
brains. It was the duty of every one
to go forward and elect our ticket by
a tremendous majority. [Applause.]

Music by the band.
Captain Leaphart then introduced
General Hagood as the next speaker.
[Cheers.]
General Hagood said he was Dot
here to make a political speech; that
pleasure he promised himself at a later
day when the clans of Carolina
had gathered together to meet the
Radical hosts. He had prepared
notes to be used on this occasion,
thinking it due to his audience that
he should do so, and he would use
them freely, inasmuch as he was not
one of those stump speakers so humorously
described by General Butler.
In the days of the war he had
the honor to command the brigade to
which the citizen soldiers of Lexington
belonged. In that command he
was preceded by one of Lexington's
own citizens, who was $tul among
them?General Fanl QWfelebaum.
[Applause.] At subsequent, periods
of the war he had beenj associated
with the soldiers whom Lexington
had sent to the front, and he had
found them the peers of any who
fought beneath the red cross of the
South in that contest which was one
to challenge the classic pages of history,
and upon that page the soldiers
of Lexington had indelibly inscribed
their names.
And among the women of the
South, though there arose none to
emulate those heroines of ancient
times, who unsexed themselves in be
coming sucn neromes as mey were,
yet the women of the South by their
exertions almost entirely clothed the
Southern army, and they tenderly
nursed and cared for its sick and
wounded. They inspired them, too,
with that courage which bore them
through the struggle. It is fit that
the women of Lexington should rear
a special shaft to the memory of her
dead. The issues of the past are
dead, bat if we would do oar duty we
mast emalate the fidelity and devotion
of the men of the Confederacy,
j The new South is but the daughter oi
the old, and the daughter claims the
characteristics of the mother, though
those characteristics will be manifested
in a different way. Look at that
period when we were overrun with all
that was vile in the population of the
earth and when desertion from the
ranks of patriotism and virtue was
rewarded with almost certain promotion
and wealth; how few of our people
yielded to the temptation! And
when the opportunity for relief came,
how gladly they availed themselves oi
it And now, with virtue and intelf
1?1 it.
i ligence exerciaiug cuuuvi iu cue jjuyernment
and with the bed rock of fij
nancial security well fixed, the era of
i prosperity has come. But in all her
j future greatness her history will never
j have a chapter in it which will com!
pare, for all that dignifies humanity,
! with that which records the heroism,
the trials and the sufferings of the
j Lost Cause. [Applause.]
; It had rained once or twice while
! General Hagood was speaking, and
| also during General Butler's speech,
i and General Hagood closed his remarks
without proceeding ^ to great
length.
After some music, the exercises at
the stand were adjourned, and in a
short time the company were invited
to partake of au abundant picnic and
j Daroecue.
I Ladies Monumental AssociationIn
the afternoon on the 5th a
| meeting of the ladies was held in the
Court-house, for the purpose of organizing
a Ladies' Monumental Association.
Gen. Quattlebaum was called to
the chair, and G. D. Haitiw>~??er reqneated
act as fcecret^ry* Gen.
Quattlebaum on taking the chair delivered
a short and appropriate
speech.
The names of forty-sis ladies were
enrolled as members.
This organization is to be known
as the Ladies' Monumental Association
of Lexington County, and has
for its object the erection of a monument
to the memory of the Lexington
men who lost their lives in the Confederate
war.
An election of officers was then had
and resulted as follows:
President, Mrs. M. Y. Harth; VicePresidents
(one from each township):
Mrs. W. D. Schoenberg, Lexington;
Mrs. J. W. Geiger, Congaree; Mrs.
Alfred Mims, Black Creek; Miss Virginia
Quattlebaum, Chinquepin; Mrs.
Samuel Harsey, Bull Swamp; Miss
Carrie Iveisler, Gilbert Hollow; Mrs.
Martin Chapin, Broad River; Miss
Carrie Bookman, Fork; Mrs. M. H.
j Witt, Saluda; Miss Leila Barr, Holjlow

j Springs; Miss Hattie Geiger, Sandj
I Run. Treasurer, Mrs. G. Leaphart:
| Recording Secretary, Miss Lizzie
I Souter; Corresponding Secretary,
Miss Alice Meetze.
The organization being completed,
j Col. T. S. Arthur and Capt. H. W.
: Rice were appointed to conduct Mrs.
; Harth to the chair,
j On entering the Court-house Mrs.
j Harth was greeted with applause. A
j better selection could not have beer
; made. She is energetic, capablo and
i patriotic, and under her guidance w?
i may expect every thing to be done
i that can be towards erecting a monu|
ment.
The President stated that the vairious
committees would be appointed
| at an early day and published in the
county papers.
It was moved and carried that the
| proceedings be published in the
county papers.
Capt. Rice addressed the Associa!
tion in an excellent speech of half an
j hour's length, urging the importance
j of erecting a monument worthy ol
i the cause for which so many of oui
I brave men gave up their lives.
The meeting then adjourned.

> Bill Arp-Sis Crops.
When a farmer baa laid by his crop
r and the seasons have been kind and
the corn and cotton look green and
1 vigorous, and the sweet potato vines
have covered the ground, what an innocent
luxury it is to set in the pinzzer
in the shades of evening and with
one's feet on the banisters, contein
plate the beauty and bounty of nature
; and the hopeful prospects of another
year's support. It looks like that
j even an Ishmaelite might then feel
i calm and serious, and if he is still unj
grateful for his abundant blessings
j he is worse than a heathen, and ought
j to be run out of a Christian country
j with the Chinese plank in tbe JDemoi
cratic platform. Every year briDgs
toil and trouble and apprehension,
but there always comes along rest and
peace and the ripe fruits of one's
labors.
In tbe journey of life the mountains
I loom up before us and they look
high and steep and rugged, but somehow
they always disSappear just before
we get to them and then we can
look back and feel ashamed that we
borrowed so much trouble and had
| so much aDxiety for nothing. What
; a great pile of miserable fears we
| build up every day. It's good for a
j man to ruminate over it and resolve
| to have more faith in providence, and
I am reminating now. I was thiuki
ing about the crop that has been laid
j by and that brought to mind another
j crop that was pretty much done with
j and is able to take care of itself with
j a little watching. I mean the crop of
| children that for 30 years has kept us
j a working aDd worrying by day and
j by night, in summer and winter, in

thank the good Lord for His mercies.
; The last tender shoot is about laid
by. No more nursing and toting
i-kcouud and warming the.-milk by the
midnight lamp. No more baby soDgs
or paregoric or teething or colic or
catnip tea. No more washing and
1 dressing and undressing and putting
to bed. No tiptoeing round the room
when they are asleep or playing horse
and bear and monkey when they are
: wake. Never again will there be a
two or three of em crawling all over
a man or under his chair, or riding
on his back or trottiDg on his weary
knees as he siDgs the same old songs
that he has sung a thousand times
before. Our last and yonngest, has
passed the rubicon. Bless her little
heart, if it was all for my sake, I wish
she would never grow any more or
any older, for she is the comfort of
my declining years. She can now
wash and dress, and undress, and say
1 her own prayers and put her little
self to bed. She can sing her own
1 songs, and look at the picture books,
aud save us many a step, for she
' j waits on us now like a fairy and fills
' the house with sun-light. The crop
: is laid by, thank goodness and I
wouldn't undertake to make another
I for a house full of gold. In the hay1
day of our youthful vigor a kind
> Providence enubles us to bear up
splendidly under these sort of bur>
deus, but an old mau can't?it wasn't
intended?it's against the order of
j nature. Many a time have I watched
j the old blue hens that lays and sets
and hatches her little brood, and
works and watches for ein a couple of
1 months, and then lays by the crop
1 and goes to layiDg again for another.
' We can't do that, and I don't want
' to, for I tell you I'm tired. If there's
any peril in life that is like a linger
ing suicide, it is for and old widower
' who has raised one crop to marry a
young wife and go to cropping again.
111 don't think th?y will ever get to
Heaven, for the Arabs say that Para1
dise wasn't made for fools. If ever I
I am a lone widower which the Lord
forbid, I'll flee from a marrying woman
like I would from the wrath to
1 come, for my time is out. I've served
' my full term, and now that I am luxf'
uriating in the long shadows, I don't
want anybody but her to eing John
Anderson my Joe to me. I've been
trying to get her off to Catoosa for a
week or so to recuperate her feelings
1 and enjoy society. I offered to sell a
| yearlin and raise a few dollars, but
she is afraid that something might
happen. Little Carl is her idol and
yesterday he was footing around shutting
up bumble bees in gimpson weed
blossoms and got stung and his hand
and his arms are all swelled up and
ray wife, Mrs. Arp, she had read
about a little bee sting killing a maa
and of course a big bee sting could
kill a little boy all the easier. Then
I (lin'm-miou nrp rinA and the an
I Ufctt.U ... 1 1
pies are green and the children hanker
after em aud might get sick, and
there's some little clothes to make;
and the winter socks are to he knifc
and so on and so forth, and'lastly bat
not leastly there seems to b6 some
trouble about something to wear.
When she puts on her best clothes
she always looks mighty pretty to'
me, but I suppose I'm no judge of
such things. I told her that every
blessed woman at Catoosa was i xnctly
in the same fix. They hacf nothing
to wear. But after all, that is a little
pardonable weakness that we men'
have no right to complain of, for they
are a heap better than we are whether
they have got anything to wear or
not. We must all do the very best'
we can to clothe em decently. When
old mother Eve had to leave home"
she made the same complaint and
father Adam did the best he conM?
he got her some fig leaves and a fetf
straws and fixed her up.
A farmer has got some leisure now
to ruminate upon his State rnd hiscountry.
It's every patriot's duty to'
reflect upon the political sit if.It ion'
j and prospects and get all the light he'
j can. For several years we have been'
j mostly concerned about our State?
J prizing her out of the mod. But now
she is all safe and its a fitting time-"
for us to consider our national affairs;Our
national politics is a big thing.
I It always was a big thing, bivlilstems'
i to me now that the coming presidential
[contest ia bigger than it.ever was-be?*

calamity to the nation a::d to rxuy
would be awful. As one of the ctlly'
two original Hancock men, may be I
?take it to heart too much and feelmore
responsibility than I ought
Me and Mr. Stephens got on the same
line together somehow and started1
the Hancock boom. "We are the only

Waddel comes next. Ho was
mighty close on behind. "Wo liirea"
will live in history like them fellers
who arrested Maj. Andre in the revolution.
They saved the country aud:
so will we. The Democratic' party
j took our advice and now, if it don't!
make any mistakes or blunders, the'
! countrv is safe. Another revolution is
going on. Office-suckers ami officeseekers
are feeing from the other side'
iu gangs. I hear the flutter of their'
j wings and their plaiutive sdreech1
sounds like the wild geese tlviug south;
j in the fall of the year. I's most
I astonishing how some men can diag:
nose an election and how shirty they'
i suddenly become. I hear men hoi-;
leriu for Hancock now who have been
; side-wipin around Grant and Hayes
I and Sherman and company ever sincej
the war. They are tryiDg to imitatei
the regular Democratic yell, and are'
| ready to swear they never was anyj
thing but a Democrat. These office'
