13 IS ? UND Ol SI 1. GLAU In Response to the Wei Vetefans-T-These Reuri fr* piness To t - Mr. W. A. Clark, member of Camp' . Hampton. U. C. V., in response to the address of welcome delivered by the mayo. of .Anderson, spoke as follows: Commander, and comrades, Mr. Mayor . and citizens of Anderson, ladies and gentlemen: 1 esteem lt A pleasure and privil?ge ; on behalf of the S. C. Division U. C. V. to give expression ot our garter ul ack nowledgement for the cordial welcome j, to Anderson. In ?his busy and com mercial age wh? a each community is vising one with me other for adynce roent in all branches of industry; when each man, as well as each com mmunity is engrossed in business and attracted only by that which produces wealth and..pow that a half century ?i has Intervened Btnce the Confederate cause suffered defeat, communities are , ' seldom found eager to Join the Con- | federate soldier In celebrating bis past ' history. Such diversion means sac- j rlfice; sacrifice of time and sacrifice of money. ; For such service, wp should be grateful. ? Like oasof in the desert which serve to revive and'refresh the wear? trav> ' elnr, so these annual reunions revive in the memory of Confederate soldier* ' recollection's of the past; furnishs tho principles for which they fought and 1 for which so many died; and render still more sacred the cause which was i lost. It has become a fashion to call it the''"Lost Cause;" but I resent'the j idea/ The hattie was indeed, lost but the principles for which we fought can 1 never die. They . were principles upi on which the structure of our govern-- jj ment was bullded and must survive so : long as our government be maintained. < Truth ls mighty and shall prevail; if. therefore, the principles for which we J* fought were Indeed true, then they t must live forever.'"Truth when ellci:- t ed, never dies, as it descends throng? i time lt may be transmitted from state | to state, from monarch to common- f " Wealth, but Us life ls never extinguish- i ed and never permitted to fail' to the \ ground.
