olutions, Car Hide.
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. Cullen Sullivan on be-1
half of the city of Anderson, wel- j
corned the veterans in a happy and
earnest address. Capt. Sullivan said j
that the young southerner who is not j

j among thorn is not worthy of the
, name of southerner. 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,

.Mrs. Gertrude Hemphill Sign of |
Abbeville, daughter of the late Gen- j
R. R. Hemphill, a member of the reg- i
iinent, made a response to the ad- !
dresses of welcome, as follows:
Mr. Chairman, ladies and Gentlemen:
"The compliment of inviting one of;
my father's daughters to respond to |
the address of welcome each year at j
the annual reunion of Orr's Regiment
of Riflemen, has in due season con- j
ferred this privilege upon me, and I j

emanates from a sentiment bred by
patriotism, love and loyalty, and we

fresh our memories and preserve the
hlctory of a just and righteous war.
"The custom of holding our re
unions in the various counties con
tributing men to this famous regi

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

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

reunion held in Walhalla one year '

it again today.
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.

with many of his men lost his life I
in the second battle of Manassas, and

onel of this regiment, were introduc-;
ed to the convention, and were given '
