On June 27,1893, Charles Wesley Cowan, of
Mount Carmel, died of ueart disease after an
illness of several weeks. He was sixty three j
years of age, and llve<l an honorable and seeluded
life. As a soldier of the "Lost Cause"
none were more gallant thau he was, but his)
fulling eyesight prevented him from serving i
through the war. Just before tlie battle ot
Galas Mill he received his discharge from the
army and although he had it in bis pocket
b.- shared the dangers of the conflict, and bis
gallantry on that day was a remarkable event
in bis history. He died in the communion of
the Presbyterian cburcU, and his body n-iw
lies in WllllngtOD grave yard. Peace to bis
Hbhes.

To me as the official head of our love
t*wn, has been assigned the pleasant ta
of extending to the 6th 8. C. Cavalry and tl
vast assembly of old soldiers, together with i
their friends, a most hearty anu- cordial wi
come to our towu, on this the 4th day of Jul
which day more than one hundred years a
signalized our Independence from the moth
country.
We have come here to-day to review ai
kindle afresh within our minds and heai
that duty we owe to our fallen heroes In t
Lost Cause. In doing this we mi
uol be understood as cherishing In our min
or hearts any 111 will or malice towards t
true soldier and patriot who fought on t
other side. Let us never forget to impri
I pon tbe minds and hearts of tbe present a
future generations that it Is their right a
duty to honor and fix Indelibly In the mln
and hearts of our children, aDd chlldrei
children, tbe fuct that tbe iallen dead fro
this Southland died in defence of what th
conceived to be high born principles. If tl
government Is to stand as a blessing to a II
ertylovlng people much for which we foug
must be and remain in the oorner stone

We have not assembled here to-day for ot

low soldiers that trio, three of tbe Soul!

Of Davis it can be truthfully said his was

rlol; or Lee, the blithest type or a soldier
any and all age* ; of the marvelous Jacksc
he too, must take rank with tbe world's mc
renowned strategist and soldier.

General Gordon.
When Senutor Butler had finished his
marks, be Introduced bis brother Benal
Hon. J. B. Gordon In some well rounded si
tences, when General Gordon arose amid
storm of cheers.
General Gordon began by thanking Sou
Carollans tor the reception accorded blm. J
slated that he came without prepared Bpee
or specified subject. He was here tomeeta
greet his all comrades of the "sixties" or
more before their flual gatnerlng In theet
nal camp beyond the stars. He was here
South Carolina's bidding on this birth day
a people's Independence, to council wl
them In behalf of that people's welfare a
liberties. He was here to recall certain me
orles of the past as Incentives to cerutln <
ties for the future. He was here In a word,
Invoke the recollections of efforts for the C<
federacy as an Inspiration for services lor t

owed to Ood and tbe cburcb. come our du
as citizens to country and its institutions,
I Iii developing the idea of the race Gene
Gordon stated that the white race bad bt
entrusted by providence in all the pasta,
of the world to carry Into effect God 8 ben
cent purposes toward man. He stated tl
in making this announcement of the su
rlorlty of the white race he was not in ?
* fllct either with God's teaching, through
Word or Works. That iu all God's unlve
he bad selected the Attest for the foremi
This lesson was taught In the heavens abo
in the air around us. in earth atid ocean.
(developed this thought, aDd then ask
what are you going to do about it ? Are j
going to abdicate tbe precedence and prln
cy among men, to which God himself 1
called you. and leave to Inferior races the
compllshment of the great ends of law a
tloerty for which ills very throne is pledge
He illustrated that the lion was king of i
forest, because God so made him, tbe ea
Swas king of the birds In obedience to Je
vah's law. The tall oaks and towering pi
' Jars were the monarchs ol the forest, wli
beneath them ar.d inferior to them, grew I
thorn and the thistle, because God so orda
ed It. So In all the ages he has placed
signet upon tbe white mat's brow and gh
ig to bim tbe high commission to lead the
ferlor races to civilization and freedom.
Tne next question he submitted was wl

institutions. Had they ever considered
rlously what was embraced In the wor
S| K?verii nieui, iimuiunwun, wuuhj, >iuG>
Take, for Instance, the word governme
How vast Its scope. The great Sydney oi
said before he perished on the scaffold
English liberty, that the chlefest concern
man on earth was human government. S
ney was right. There Is no properly, no rig
no home, no life, no station, lofty or low
which Is not attected in some measure,
weal or woe, by human government, its la
and its policies. Take now the word count
What do you understand Is embraced In i
eS phrase "our country?" Do you uuderst?
it to mean the lands, your homes, your ri
roads, your schools, your churches? How
love these lands upon which our fath
dwelt, enriched as they are by the best
human blood, marked It may be by ruins,
glorified ({raves of our martyred dead, J
these lands do not constitute all of ourcoi
? try. The railroads are mighty developers
.? wealth and clvlllzere binding together sis
States, and linking with bands of steel 1
shores of different oceans. But these are I
a small part of our country. Our schools a
ohurches?how we prize them. They tri
the intellect, and life for earth and time, a
o. the heartand spirit for heaven and eternl
Yet these are not all of our country. JNor;
these, alicomblned, the whole of our count
By far the greater part, and the most ess
tlal part of any country Is the men and 1
j women who inhabit and dominate it, w
till its soil, beautify its homes, construct
raliroadR, make Its laws, shape Its policies,
cree lis destinies.
Take the next word, liberty. How nc
love it, and have always loved It, and fouf
for It. flow prayers ascend to heaven a
blood Is split upon earth for It. Yet you ci
not plant liberty in your soil, nor paint it
the walls of your dwellings, nor decree it
statutes. If liberty lives at all it must live
the hearts and lives, and survive by I
strong right arms of the men and the i
men who inhabit the country. I repe
therefore, that the whole of our country,
I the highest meaning of that phrase, are'
[6 men and the women upon whose fidelity
life, liberty and well being at last depend.
How important, therefore, it Is to any coi
try to develop its manhsod and worn
manhood. No higher ambition could ac
ate the soldier, the clt>zen, the statesman,
the patriot than to build up the charactei
a people.
This is peculiarly true of the South, for
God's inscrutable providence we tfere 1
defeated section in the con test of the vlxtl
| It is a sad but recognized truth that the
. vantages of victory in any cause are far gre
} er In the estimation of men, than they i
perhaps before the infallible bar of God,
will be before the tribunal of history.
We must however recognize the fact that
the average estimation of mankind. vlot<
vindicates, while defeat dooms to delraot
and misapprehension. Hence I repeat a
would emphasize the thought that of all p
pie it most becomes us to guard the fun
character of our children. We must develc
their manhood, and the serious question
or us to consider is, how is this to be accc
an pllshed.
re Gen Gordon then showed that self-resp
was the foundation of all character, and tl
to stimulate self-respect was to strength

He then summarized the great lead

belonged, the share borne by their establl

ad Were they going to fritter away th
strength by useless and senseless dlvlslt

ire the proud positions which had been acble\

He pleaded with his old comrades to to

w hich they were treading In allowing fei

viting disaster and death to the best interc
