A short address wasj made by Maj. T. B. Lee, giving some of the history of Orr's Rifles from 1 its organization at Sandy Springs in j August, 1861. Maj. Lee was its; quartermaster during the entire war! and was therefore, well qualified to \ give its correct history. At the close of Maj. Lee's remarks the veterans were given an auto ride over the i city which lasted until 6 o'clock, i when they were carried to tne itea ' Cross rooms and served light re- t freshments in the shape of punch i and cake, and a reception by the ladies of the city. On Thursday morning at 9:30 o'clock, all again assembled at the auditorium. The meeting was called to order by Hon. W. L. Pickens, who acted as chairman, and was opened! with an invocation by Rev. D. W. Hiott, who is the Chaplain of the' local chapter, U. D. C's. Addresses oft welcome were made by Rev. D. W. j Hiott, Mrs. Verner Howard, presi-j dent of the local chapter U. D. C.,j and Mayor J. Milton King. Mayor i king also presented the president,' Capt. W. T. McGill, with the keys of J of the city. A- medley of Southern1 sones were then suncr by a number! of the young ladies of" the city. A i solo, "Carry Me Back to Old Virgin-j ia," was sung by Miss Velma Smith. I A violin solo was also rendered by Miss Virgil Sellers, and "Father Ry- 1 an's Conquered Banner" was beauti ,1 fully recited by Miss M. B. Flenni- 1 ken, of this city. Responses were made by Col. J. C.! * Stribling, Maj. T. B. Lee and Caot. ^ W. T. McGill. A business session was ?' then held at which Capt. W. T. M :Gill J was re-elected president of the asso- J riation for the ensuing1 year; J. W. Todd, vice-president; S. K. Dendy, < secretary and treasurer, and the fol- ] lowing executive committee: Thos.

C., wish to place ourselves on record as endorsing the course of our National Administration in the manner in which it is prosecuting the war with Germany and her allies, and further, that we endorse specifically its action in sending our sons and grand sons to France to help fight for the freedom of the world from Prussian Autocracy. We believe in the wisdom of making the fight on European soil while we have the help of other brave and liberty-loving nations of the world, and that we hereby tender to our Government, our services in any capacity in which it may wish to use uu. A copy of this resolution which ffas unanimously passed by a rising rote, was telegraphed to President CVilson. The following resolution of ;hanks was then adopted by a rising rote: Resolved, That this assaciation of Confederate survivors desire to express our sincere and heartfelt appreciation of the unbounded and elegant hospitality extended to us by the citizens of the beautiful city of Easley, to the U. D. C's., to the housekeepers, to the * young lady singers, to young lady ushers, to the attention and courtesies of the Boy Scouts and to the men, we extend our uianKs, and will ever remember this as one of the most delightfully pleasant meetings we have ever held. That we thank the several speakers for their enobling and helpful addresses, and the Easley Band for their fine music.

I BROUCHER'S SARCASM if: j|; 11 ]|;{i |||; By HAROLD BRONSON. j||j '&WSSS5S$SS?tt3$?S?SS?$5?S^ 1 Broucher had a naturally unpleas- i ant way of expressing himself when ^ fhttltro Hiring nn tA nnU klnri nn/1 cnmA . uiuu i fcv IU OUJ L UlilJ uuu ovuiw ; foolish person once told him that he ^ was delightfully, wickedly sarcastic, i ( That explained him. It is rather an ^ awful thing when a man gets an Idea that he has a gift for sarcasm. He is particularly apt to cultivate it. j' Broucher became unpopular. He was not really such a bad sort of fel- i> low, not even ill-tempered, but he de-j veloped a sort of carping habit of 1 speech for the more frequent display '] of his gift and his associates natu-j rally got down on him. J] It was In his loneliness that be be- ^ gan his wooing of Miss Bardexter, the ^ mppk nnri nmlnhle little womnn whose nimble, white fingers rattled pver the1 keys of the typewriter in the office. ^ Miss Bardexter rather admired ^ Broucher's style of talk. Perhaps it ^ was she who originally complimented i him on It. Anyway, Broucher got i Into the habit of lingering about her i desk and saying wickedly sarcastic; things abont the other men in the 1 office. The upshot of the thing was ^ that he married ber. , But with the waning of the honey- ^ moon It was different If anything . went a little crossways he usually called attention to it and of course ' a young housekeeper is not an old one, and things will go a little cross* I ways at first. ;] Then it was: "Dearest, I have ob- < served with some pain that you are 1 not sufficiently considerate of the feel ings of the young lady who has so[ kindly consented to assist you In the care of the household. You must remember that girls in domestic service have their feelings." "Why, Courtney, dear I 1 am sure I have always tried?" "Yes, yes, I know. I don't think you meant to hurt her, but there is that young man of hers and her girl friend and her young man In the kitchen now. I know they are there because I hear them very plainly, Indeed. They j have been there three nights handrunning now, and yon have never' once Invited them to use the parlor aiid the piano, so that they have beeli obliged to put up with the kitchen and a mouth organ. Don't yon think it 1 would be nice for yon to go out and 1 Invite them in. I'm afraid if I do It I I shall be tactless." I Mrs. Broucher would look at him i timidly and hesitatingly, and be would I sustain her look with an unpleasantly j i bland smile. Then she would go oat I to the kitchen, and shortly after the i sounds of revelry would cease. | But Broucher was not dissatisfied | when a letter came announcing a visit from his mother-in-law whom lie had . never seen; be said he would be more j than delighted. "You see, we bore | each other so that any distraction Is; welcome," he said with a smile, and ! patted his wife on her plump cheek.; But Mrs. Bardexter arrived, bag and j baggage, for a month's visit and then ?well, there was no trouble; she was; a mighty sweet and easy-tempered1 | woman. Bnt she seemed to take ! Broucher so seriously. When he came j down a little late and observed that I he apprehended the consideration his wife had shown In not waking hlmj as he liked to be late at the office, o<> caslonally?It looked Independent? then did Mrs. Bardexter exclaim:' "Well! I should think you would be , afraid they might not like It." "You don't mean to say we have eggs, dear!" Broucher said a little ! later. "This Is Indeed a surprise. Nice ! little change, Isn't It?" "Emrpio said you had been having I them so often lately that you were j kind of sick of them," said Mrs. Bari dexter In a surprised tone. "What did you put that roast in the i oven for, my own?" asked Broucher. ! "You have warmed it almost through. I' I believe, and It would nave Deen so much nicer quite raw. to say nothing I of the gas you must have used. ' Haven't you a little really raw meat?" : Mrs. Bardexter got up from the taI ble, went out and came back with a ' nice little piece of raw beefsteak. "Oh, mamma," said Mrs. Broucher.! ! "Courtney doesn't really like raw meat. He was just making fun. Ele likes it quite well done and I'm afraid It Is just a little bit undone." "Courtney, do you always mean; j what you don't say?" Inquired his mother-in-law. How could Broucher keep It up? He couldn't. All this happened In the first i week and Mrs. Bardexter's stay was i prolonged to five more. People with-;' out any sense of humor are awfully i trying, but there is really no use in,' fighting against them. . |"Courtney." said Mrs. Bardexter. i when she was leaving for her home.* In Grand Rapids, "when 1 first came I' notfeed that you talked very strangely. but you don't do it any more and ] I'm glad of It for Emmie's sake and j yours. I kind of think you were Joking. but jokes like that hurt some peo- ! pie's feelings. You can't make a real 1 joke out of a grumble and a mean;* thing isn't any more pleasant because ( you say it with a smile. That's all!1 I've got to say. Now, don't tell me j that you're going to raise tne lane c level two inches with yonr tears for! my departure, because I shan't believe! you." "1 would tell yon tbaf," said Broucher. "but honestly, HI miss yon. and I hope It won't be long before you I come to visit us again. And?1 believe you've done me good" J .vvvvvvvvvvwvvvv \ > ^ MT. CARMEL. V N * N wuvvvuvuvvv f :',?S33 Mt.
