With a trolley ride over the city j this afternoon, which was enjoyed by a large number of veterans and their friends, the 40th annual reunion of Crr's regiment came to a close. The next reunion will be held in Ab- | beville, the veterans today having ac- j cepted an invitation extended by j telegraph from the Mayor and Civic ; association and the Daughters of the Confederacy of that city. The meeting this morning was j called to order by Mr. John Eskew, i who has held the office of president for several terms. He introduced Rev. Mike McGee. who served as j chaplain to the regiment, throughout I the four years of service, and who has j from year to year been reelected as chaplain of the Survivors association j of the regiment. Rev. Mr. McGee | made the invocation. The "Bonnie Blue Flag" was beau- J tifully rendered by a chorus consist-1 ing of Mrs. Cora Ligon, Mrs. J. R. j Vandiver, Mrs. T. A. Ratliffe, Mrs. J. O. Wilhite, Miss Mab Bonham, Mr. ' R. R. King and Mr. J. D. Rast, with i Miss Zenobia Welch at the piano. Capt. G.

Just so with a ! city, said the speaker. A city that does : not appreciate the honor or entertain- i ing the veterans is not worthy of exis- 1 ! tence. Capt. Sullivan said it gave ; himparticular pleasure, and he con- j oidered it a privilege to welcome this j gallant old command, especially so 1 since his grandfather had served in j it. The speaker said that he had served, though only for a short while ! and not in actual warfare, in a corps comrxanded by a Lee, "not the im mortal Lee." but by Fitz Hugh Lee. This brought forth applause. Capt. Sullivan said that in this command was a division commanded by a union soldier. He mentioned this to show now tne soutn ana tne nortn nau i become cemented, although the "Great War" is not so many years gone by. Capt. Sullivan said that some one asked Fitz Hugh Lee what could he count on in the Second South Carolina regiment should it become necessary to send this regiment in a j fight with the Spanish troops. Gen. | Lee replied, "I knew their fathers j and their grandfathers. That is suffi- i cient for me." "March of the Southern Men," was j sung by Mrs. l.igon and chorus. In a brief little speech, but full of 1 earnestness and sincereity, Mrs. J. R. | Vandiver extended a welcome to the ' veterans on behalf of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. This was followed by "Maryland, My Maryland." sung by the chorus, and which wa3 joined in by many of tlin cnlHrnrc?

"The custom of holding our re unions in the various counties con tributing men to this famous regi ment is a splendid plan to throw the spot light of reminiscences on each community, thereby bringing out glimpses of the individual heroism which gave immortal fame to the army of northern Virginia. "Anderson's part will be our pleas ant retrospection today, and while we renew those friendships soldered by shot and shell and tried by the fires of many battles; while we recall with tenderest memories those who have 'crossed over tb? river and rest un der the shade of the trees'; all the time we will be truly glad we are in Anderson.

Mrs. A. E. Bleckley, in her inimit- j able happy way, extended additional i thanks lor the welcome accorded the j survivors. Her address was inter- I spersed with local references and to \ references to veterans in the gather ing. These called for applause ire-1 quently. Widows of ('Ulliint Men Mrs. D. A.
