FORTY-FIFTH ?
UNION OF Ol
Principal Address Deliver*
Pertiment to 1
The forty-fifth annual reunion of
tho Survivors' Association of Orr's
Regiment, C. S. A., was held last
Thursday and Friday at Easley.
There was a good attendance of vete
rans and visitors and the occasion
was greatly enjoyed hy all. A num
ber of addresses were made, the prin
cipal address being made by lt. T.
.laynos, Esq., of Walhalla. We pro
duce below the address delivered by
Mr. .lsynes to the members of tho
Survivors' Association and others.
Mr. Jaynes spoke as follows:
Mr. President, Members of the Survi
vors' Association of Orr's Regi
ment. South Carolina Volunteers.
Confederate States of America,
Ladles and Gentlemen :
I estec-.. it a high privilege and
great honor to appear before you on
this occisi?n - the 46th reunion of
the survivors of tills gallant band of
American heroes, lt has fallen my
lot on two or three former occasions
to meet with you around your annual
campfire and speak to you about
those daysJhat tried men's souls. Dut
those meetings were held in the
tranquil days of peace. Foreign was
the thought that one of your annual
gatherings would ever witness ano
ther war-a world war-such a war
as has become a besom of destruc
tion on thu European continent, and
in which the American soldier ls des
tined to become a decisive factor, and
win a lasting victory for democracy
and humanity-a victory founded
upon justice and truth and freedom
and right, that in the end must crush
the wrong out of tho world.
Thoughts come trooping fast;
strong men tremble at tho appalling
task; tile mind is bewildered and
perplexed; and while we would fain
dwell upon the past, and review the
historic events of the sixties, the
head, the hand, and the heart of
every true, patriotic American by
day and by night must now serve and
sacrifice that tho world may be made
safe for democracy and humanity. In
these days of stirring events-of
events of world-wide moment -and in
which history is made over night, we
can only pause to dwell upon the past
for a moment in order to draw les
sons for our present guidance, admo
nition and encouragement. We can
pauso only long enough to gaze with
admiration and wonder upon thc
amazing spectacle of that new order
of State which was born in the midst
of perilous times, which stood foi
four years, sustained by a great,
brave and determined people, united
in heart, whose ono purpose of high
resolve animated the whole, and
whose sacrifices, whether of blood or
treasure, to be made, were not weigh
ed in the balance against honor, and
right, and liberty, and equality, as
it was given to them to seo lt. The)
may have made a mistake-a stupen
dous mistake, If you please but
they were honest, sincere and loya!
to truth, in and through it all. Anti
though that new order of State stoo?
only four years; though the impos
lng fabric was destined to fall anc
crumble into ruin under the ponder
ons tread of armed hosts, yet, lt sur
vlved long enough to bequeath U
humanity and to the world for al
lime to come, the rich legacy of th?
Confederate Character.
After a half century or more, it is
indeed, difficult for the men and th<
women of this generation to realiz<
and appreciate fully tho ideas, th<
motives, and the sentiments whicl
led the men and Hie women of th?
sixties so freely to. offer their lives
and ?heir fortunes as a sacrifice upoi
tho altar of their country. 1 thlnl
we may safely take it for graute?
that then, as now, true to the natu
ral instincts of man, they shranl
from it, and would gladly hav<
avoided both the conflict and the sac
rifice had that appeared to them pos
sible without dishonor. But when i
became clear that this could not b<
done and that the conflict was Inovl
I able, they met it joyously, ovei
"robbing both the cradle and th?
grave" to maintain their annies ii
the field to the last, and went to theil
graves as to their beds. It was f
great and terrible war, for four loni
and distressing years. The armlet
enlisted on both sides called into th?
field three million men; it cost mon
thanda half million lives; it cause?
untold suffering and heart aches; i
wrought the most terrible devasta
Hon and called for the outpouring o
billions of dollar').
But in that terrible crucible of fir?
and scourge, there was wrought on
the rich heritage which is our
through tho splendid heroism of th
men and the women, who, in tha
great and hopeless struggle so mar
velou8ly distinguished themselves b
their valor, their sacrifices, and tho!
patient fortitude. The names of th
vast majority of them may be un

known to fame, but there are many
which time must assault in vain. And
in that rich legacy which now be
longs to the whole American people
because of their achievements, there
I is compensation for all the loss and/
sacrifice which was theirs, and all the
j ills which lite South has suffered. In
[ tlie lustre which shines undimmed
upon their records there in inspira
tion for the present and abiding con
fidence In and encouragement for the
future.
"The glory dies not, and the grief is
past! "
And what can we say of the Con
federate soldier? How can language
picture "Tito hero In gray with a
heart of gold?" During those four
years of bloody warfare, and on many
hard-fought battlefields, from Manas
sas to Appomattox, the Confederate
soldier was both loyal and heroic In
his devotion to duty. What a record!
Truly may it be said that upon this
world's stage no more pathetic scene,
no more heroic incident, has ever
been witnessed. With what pride the
generations yet unborn shall claim
descent from those who, true to their
sense of duty, fought under that old
flag, so battle-scarred, tattered and
torn-now forever furled-but once
the proud ensign which was follow
ed, even though it led right into the
jaws of death, whore, amid the
sounds of shrieking shells, mingled
with the groans of the fallen and the
dying, there were none to falter. As
we think upon these things, the query
naturally arises: Was It all In vain?
Was there no gain? N'o recompense,
for all that costly sacrifice of blood
and treasure? We answer, "No!"
All was not lost; it was not all in
vaiti; there was gain, great gain, foi
then and there, by "the hero in
gray," as tan ensample to the heroic
American youth of to-day. who b>
countless thousands are again an
swering their country's call, as well
as for generations yet unborn, was
wrought out the priceless treasure ot
the Confederate Character.
As a flt representative of this char
acter stood Gen. Lee at Appomattox
illustrating in his calm and loft}
bearing, the noble adage which hf
afterwards announced, that "The vir
tue of humanity ought always t<
equal its trials." An eye-witness o
that trying ordeal, the late belovet
and heroic Gen. John B. Gordon, o
Georgia, spoke of him as "self-poise*
and modest, bearing on Iiis grea
heart a mountain load of woe, will
the light of an unclouded conscient
upon his majestic brow, with an in
nate dignity and nobility of spiri
rarely equalled and never excelled
the central figure of the Confederat
Cause rose tn this hour of supremes
trial, in the estimation at least o
those who followed him, to the high
est place of tho morally sublime."
The place of Lee in impartial his
tory ls forever fixed. As the year
come and go, his name and fame wi!
become dearer and dearer still t
the hearts of the whole American pee
pie. Long after that bronze statu
In the Hall of Fame at our country'
capital, where it so worthily stand
to-day, in Confederate uniform, sha
have crumbled into dust, his nam
will survive, and his fame as a
American soldier will shine out n
one of the few greatest warriors an
generals this old earth has ever prc
duced. The earplugs of small erith
of former days, as well as the name
of the critics themselves, will el
long be forgotten and bruted In cte
nal oblivion, but the name of Le
will stand forth as the Great Amer
can Soldier of tho Nineteenth Cei
tory.
The Women of the Confederacy.
And what cnn we say of and ft
the women of the sixties? Wort
are halting and language lame whe
we come to speak of "Thc Women <
the Confederacy." No mortal tongi:
can give adequate expression to the
heroic fortitude, patient endurant
and lonely suffering during those foi
years, as they stood guard the po
tals of the homes throughout 01
Southland or watched by the bedsit
of the wounded, the sick anti the d:
lng.
The nervous tension, the constat
dread? the anxious watching forevt
and aye, the wanting to hear, and y<
dreading to hear; the waiting fi
tidings from the front; the receij
of news that father, husband, so
brother or loved one had fallen ai
were to be seen no more-all th i
and more, called for ?he exercise i
the highest type of patriotism ar
uncomplaining devotion. Says Ge
Gordon: "1 have seen those patriot
women of our Southland sendli
their husbands, and their fnthei
their brothers and their sons to tl
front, cheering them in the hour
disaster, and tempering their joys
the hour of triumph, J have wltnec
ed the Southern mother's anguish as,
with breaking heart and streaming
eyes, she gave to her beloved boy her
parting blessing, 'Go, my sou; go to
the front! I, perh?ps, will never see
you again, but I freely commit you
to God and to the defense of your
people!' 1 have seen those Southern
women with the sick, the wounded
and the dying; and in the late stages
of the war, I have been made to mar
vel at their saintly spirit of martyr
dom, standing as lt were, almost neck
deep in the desolation around them,
and yet bravely facing their fate,
while the light of heaven itself play
ed around their divinely beautiful
faces."
And lt is the high, holy and sacred
mission of the Daughters of the Con
federacy to perpetuate the memory of
the heroic deeds of the men and the
women of tho Confederacy, and to
collate and keep In permanent form
the valuable records of those deeds.
I believe It ls estimated that there
are now more than ?0,000 women
who proudly bear the name of
Daughters of the Confederacy. They
aro located in thirty-two States and
from Ocean to Ocean; they all have
the same hopes and aspirations of
giving honor where honor ls dite, and
of preserving from falsehood and mis
representation the true history of
the Confederate States of America.
"No Nation rose so white and fair,
Nor fell so pure of crime."
Survivors of Orr's Regiment, in
your 45th annual reunion assembled,
as we stand in your presence to-day,
we see the highest type of American
patriot. Venerable men! You have
come down to us from the former
generation. You stand to-day as
the connecting link between the gen
eration of your comrades and ours.
You have been spared for 5 2 years
and more since you sheathed the
sword at Appomattox to pursue the
paths of peace and virtue; and
though your ranks be thin and num
bers few, you stand as the highest
exponents of true patriotism and
real Americanism. Your record is an
open book, known and read of all
men, and the lesson lt teaches ls one
of everlasting rebuke to tho slothful,
the selfish and seditious in this peril
ous hour.
We may take Webster's definition
of a patriot as "one who loves his
country and zealously supports Its
authority and interest"; and, meas
ured by this standard, whether in war
or peace, your record will abide as a
perpetual memorial of true Ameri
can patriotism.
To this end I would cito the loyal
message and trenchant words of the
United Confederate Veterans in their
reunion at Birmingham in May, 101G,
and forwarded to President Wilson
almost a year before the war cloud,
then ominously rolling darkly to
ward our shores, broke upon us.
Listen to this stirring utterance and
heed its call:
"To the President and Congress of
the United States: We. the Confede
rate Veterans, in reunion assembled
at Birmingham, Ala., this 16th day
of May, 1016, do hereby renew and
declare our unfaltering allegiance tc
the government of the United States
in this hour of great international
difficulties.
"We took up arms against the gov
ernment, not as rebels, but to pro
tect our homes and firesides, to pre
serve and maintain the principles ol
States' Rights; and although the ar
bitrament of arms was against us
we lost neither our courage, our man
hood, nor our patriotism.
"To-day the remnant of the armlet
of the Confederate States of Amerlci
does hereby offer Itself, it| sons anc
Its property upon the altar of a re
united country, which we love ant
seek to serve, protect and defend.
"We recommend that every mah
citizen over 16 years of age residing
in the United States and Us Territo
rios be required to report I m med!
ately to the probate judge of hit
county, or other like officer, mulei
penalty of the law, and there sweai
allegiance to this government, pledg
lng his loyalty to support the govern
ment against any and all foes, who
ther internal or foreign, who may nt
tempt to binder or destroy the prop
erty or liberty of its people."
Thus, a full year before the cal
for army service went forth to tin
American youth, these "Veterans li
(?ray" gave voice to the principle
later proclaimed by President Wllsoi
"that In a democracy the duty t<
serve and the privilege to serve fal
upon all alike."
And thc reunion at Washington
the nation's capital, last June, cappci
the climax. In the march of th
Gray, accompanied by the Blue dowi
Pennsylvania avenue, and In front o
the White House, in grand review h;
President Wilson, these veterans o
both armies on National Roglstratloi
Day for young American manhood
Joined anew in the mutual dedica
lion of thomselves, their lives am
thoir fortunes, to a reunited countr
-a nation powerful In spirit and ii
purpose for the accomplishment o
the groat end which God In his mys
terious providence must worl
through our Instrumentality. Among (
no other people could Buch a scene
and such an event transpire; and
this was so because, as declared by
President Wilson in his address of
welcome, "At the heart of tho men
of the North and of the South there
was the same love of self-government
and of liberty. Now we are to be an
instrument in the hands of God to
see that liberty is made secure for
mankind. At the day of our great
est division t?tere was one common 1
passion among us, and that was the :
passion for human freedom."
And this is the spirit or the South ,
to-day. Here and there some dema
gogue may rise to assail the govern
ment, and a few unthinking or wrong
ly informed people are misled. But
tili? is only to be expected, for there
was never yet a cause, however no
ble, that did no't have its recreants
and its foes. Our war Tor American
independence had its Tories, the
North had its Copperheads, and as of
yesterday we may recall the words of
President Davis, penned in great an
guish of spirit in February, 1864, in
his special message io the Confede
rate Congress, as follows:
"While brigade after brigade of
our brave soldiers, who have endured
the trials of the camp and the battle- ,
Held, are testifying to their spirit
and patriotism by voluntary re-en
listment for the war, discontent, dis
satisfaction and disloyalty are mani
fested among those who, through the
sacrifices of others, have enjoyed
quiet and safety at home. Public
meetings have been held, In some of
which treasonable designs are mask
ed by a protended devotion to State
sovereignty, and In others is openly
avowed. Conventions are advocating,
with the pretended object of redress
ing grievances, which, if they exist
ed, could as well be remedied by or
dinary legislative action, but with the
real design of accomplishing treason
under the form of law. To this end a
strong suspicion is entertained that
secret leagues and associations are
being formed. In certain localities
men of no mean position do not hesi
tate to avow their disloyalty and hos
tlity to our cau.se, and their advocacy
of peace on the terms of submission."
Alter three long years of patient
waiting and hoping against hope that
the course of the imperial German
government would not become in fact
war against the government and peo
ple of the United States, on April 2,
I 1917, President Wilson was forced to
! appear before Congress, and with a
j profound sense of the solemn and
I even tragical character or the step
j he was taking, and or the grave ro
I sponsibilities which it involved, but
, in unhesitating obedience to what he
! hightly deemed his constitutional
duty, advised Congress to declare
that the course of the imperial Ger
I man government towards the govern
ment and people ol* the United States
was nothing less than war. Verily,
it was a distressing and oppressive
duty which 4ie that day performed,
knowing full well that there must be
many months, perhaps years, of fiery
trial and sacrifice ahead of us. He
declared that it was a fearful thing to
lead this great, peace-loving people
into war-into the most terrible and
disastrous of all wars-civilization it
seir being in the balance. As a re
ward for our neutrality up to the dec
laration of war by Congress, 226
^Vmerlcan citizens, many of them wo
men ff id children, had lost their lives
by the action of the German subma
rines, and the challenge of German
frlghtrulnes8 was to the whole civil
ized world. A complete indictment
of German policy must contain at
leaBt ten probative counts against the
German Emperor:
1. He has set the torch of the in
cendiary to our factories, our work
shops, our ships and our wharves.
2. He has laid the bomb of the as
sassin in our munition plants, and
the holds of our ships.
3. He has sought to corrupt our
manhood with a selfish dream of
peace when there is no peace.
4. He has wilfully butchered our
citizens on the high seas.
5. lie has destroyed our com
ino ree.
(>. He seeks to terrorize us with his
devilish policy ol' frightfulness.
7. He has violated every canon of
international decency and set at
naught every solemn treaty and every
precept of international law.
8. He has plunged the world into
the maddest orgy of blood, rapine and
murder which history records.
9. He has intrigued against our
peace at home and abroad.
10. He seeks to destroy our civili
zation.
Patience is no longer a virtue; fur
ther endurance ls cowardice, submis
sion to Prussian demands is slavery.
This compact summary of tho
grievances of tho United States and
the necessity of war was given by G.
Ki. Foss, of Illinois, a distinguished
member of Congress, in that memor
able debate in the House of Repre
sentatives on April 6, 1917, and every
count has been sustained by ample
proof.
Thus we find that wo have( been
forced into this titanic conflict in
self-defense, and for thc preservation
of democracy arainst a cruel autoc
racy. For the United States as well
as for the other democratic nations,
it is a question of life nnd death. If
Germany wins there is no pince for
an English-speaking democracy on
the face of the earth. We have been
slow to grasp this Idea, and to realize
thc full scope of the issue; but it
looms before us now in all of its hid
eous portent, and there are before us
two possible features: Independence
and Freedom, with the allies victori
ous; or the position of n vassal state,
subservient and obedient to a world
emperor at Berlin. As the represen
tative of the oldest and strongest de
mocracy in the world, Woodrow Wil
son stands to-day as the recognized
champion of, world democracy, while
William ll stands as the most power
ful representative of relentless au
tocracy. These two systems of gov
ernment are diametrically opposed,
and there is no possible reconcilia
tion. The world, as the final result
of this titanic struggle, must be
made a safe place in which to live
safe for all states and peoples, great
and small-or must become subserv
ient to the will of one man, who plays
with men as with pawns on a chess
board.
Such being the nature of the con
flict, and such being the war made
upon our country by an insulting foe,
should we wait until our sleeping
cities are awakened by the terrible
music of bursting bombs? Till our
green fields are trampled by the hoofs
of the Invader and made red with tho
blood of our brethren? No! A thou
sand times no! We must send forth
our fleets and armies-we must un
loose upon the broad ocean our keen
falcons, and the thunder of our guns
must arouse stern echoes along the
*hostlle front. This is but national
defense and authorized by the same
great principle of self-protection,
which applies no less to nations than
to individuals.
The thing I wish to impress and
drive home to every one worthy of
the proud title of A ?erlcan, is, that
we are in this fight; we are in it to
win; we cannot win without fight
ing; and we cannot successfully fight
with divided counsels. We cannot
stop for referendums or to walt on
jury verdicts or moot court trials.
The die has been cast, and there are
no more open questions. The con
stitutionality of the draft act for ser
vice ol the government has beert de
termined for the past half century or
more. The absolute fairness of se
lective draft and individual liability
to military service is self-evident. It
ls nothing short of a public calamity
that there are found those In our
midst, and some in tho public service,
who are advising resistance to law
to a law passed in the time of great
national necessity, in the time of ac
tual war-and who, by unfriendly
criticism or for pride of individual
opinion, or through political motives,
encourage the gro vth of distrust,
dissension and disloyalty In the
minds and hearts of those who look
to them for the light of truth.
It ls, Indeed, unfortunate that some
persons fall to realize at once that
war ls an abnormal condition of so
ciety, and that wherever it obtains
and whatever be the form of the gov
ernment, the status of the citizen, or
subject, ls more or less modified to
meet Its demands. The citizen is
transmuted into the soldier, and th?
soldier is neccasrily subjected to arbi
trary rules, such as the citizen knew
not before. The freeman's consola
tion is that every sacrifice, whether
of personal usc, or freedom of action,
of property, of health or of life is an
offering on the altar of liberty.
Hence, lt is the ever present duty
of the strong toward the weak, of thc
Informed toward the uninformed, pa
tiently, kindly, but none the less
firmly, to speak words of warning;
yea, even of stern rebuke to those
who seek to resist, tQ obstruct, tc
hinder, or to sow seeds of distrust
and dissension; because the under
mining of confidence In the govern
ment, during war, is to afford aie
and comfort to the enemy.
Our individual and national libert}
was bought for us with the blood o!
patriots, which was freely shed or
many a battlefield all the way fron
Lexington and Valley Forge to York
town. Here our forefathers made th(
first experiment In democratic gov
eminent ns set over against the auto
eratic system of government whicl
then prevailed throughout tlx
world.
In order to preserve and porpetu
ate this priceless heritage which hat
come down to us in our good day, th<
whole world must now be made saf<
for democracy; and the price to b<
paid ls still the blood of patriots
patriots In the Army and Navy of th<
United States of America on land ant

Cincinnati Authority Tells How to

You corn-pestered men and women

this Cincinnati authority, because a
few drops ot freezone applied direct

A small bottle of freezone costs
very little at any drug store, but "will
positively take off every hard or soft
corn or callus. This should be tried,
as lt is inexpensive and is said not to
irritate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any free

you from his wholesale drug house.
