Nicholson, Esq., E dire lie kl Baptist Church, Memorial Day, May IO, 190O. m "God of our fathers, known of old Lord of our far-fiung battle-line Beneatb whose awful hand we hold Dominion over palm and pine Lord God of Horl3 be with us yet, Lest we forgf c-lest we forget !" I deem it a proud privilege to be allowed to address you on this oc casion, on this day set aside to the memory of the Confederate dead and I would that I had the elo quence to burn into your hearts the subirme sentiments that it should awaken in the breast of every true Southerner. I would fain cobjnro memory's charms, and bring back to you the heroic deeds of the'men in gray, and fill your| minds with abiding love and ven eration for th?m and their hero ism-a memory that shouid for ever be a priceless heritage to the j Southern people. All people but savages cherish the memory and deeds of heroes. In the middle ages, it was handed down from bard to bard to recite, tales of the bold prowess of de ceased Vikings, and?rom trouba dour to troubadour to sing of Nor mandy's knights, brave and fair. In our later days the pen of poet and historian take up the task of j perpetuating brave and noble lives j . and actions, and only He, who can measure infinity and view eternity, J can know the good that bas come to fallen humanity from the con ' m temptation of the great and noble things of the past. Who-can esti mate what the battle of Marathon has' done for Greece, or Waterloo for England, and who can say| . wha* the Confederate 'soldier has done for South Carolina I I would that I could draw'you a picture of a typical Southern home before the war. Of the plantation with its broad and fertile acres ' surrounding the comfortable dwell ing with its-flower gardens to the front, rews of negro cabins to the j left, the out buildinge. and stables ? in the rear, and around all an at mosphere of peace vand plenty. In the distant fields we may hear the cheerful work-song of the negroes, or at night their laughter and j shuffling feet in joyous accom paniment to the banjo's music, would picture co you the life of the South Carolina planter at that time. The master educated, gen . erons, refined, a king on his own domain, but a just and merciful one. Proud of his ancestry, and jealously watchful of anything that might infringe on his honor or the honor of his State. In his j public relations an exemplary citi :, zen, keenly interested in the public welfare, and ever an ardent advo cate of that side he deemed right. lu his domestic relations a model father and husband, anda kind ' and wise master, giving to his loved ones all of the opportunities and pleasures within his reach, and expecting of them a high i standard of excellence, requiring of his slaves faithful labor, but carefully providing for their com fort and happiness. And the mistress, lovely, intelli gent, modest, she* was indeed the j .guardian angel of the home. Train ing with devoted wisdom her chil dren, ministering to the moral and physical ills of her slaves and of all around her, sharing the cares of her husband and directing the household affairs and the work of the women at their spinning wheels, knowing, that the highest and moat useful sphere of woman's duty is in the sacred precincts of | the home. The sons, having the best ad vantages, many of them being edu cated in Europe, were chivalrous, frank, and manly, worthy sons of noble sires. And the daughters, reared in an atmosphere of love and modesty. Ah, who can picture ? the charms of a South Carolina ' maiden 1 This was a noble type of man hood and womanhood that can . never be reproduced because the j peculiar conditions under which it existed have forever parsed away, and to us it can only he as j the lost chords of a once-heard j melody, a precious thing-of the j memory. It is seedless tn discuss here slavery. State supremacy, the right of a ?tate to secede, o.' any of the 1 questions that brorght on the civil war. It is sufficient to say that the Supreme Ruler, who ?D the dispensation of bis wise provi dence has set up nations and blot ted out others, saw fit to introduce this terrible tragedy into the world's drama. But I do say that the Confederate soldiers were ac tuated by as pure, high, and pa triotic motives as have ever led man to place his property, his life, bis all upon the altar of his bountry's service. When the happy and prosper- j ou a peace of the South was broken j in '61 by the rude clamor of war, nobly responded, her sons to her! country's need. From every class, j every, condition they came, burn ing with patriotism and unselfish! zeal. The farmer left bia peaoeful fields, the Icwyer bis office, the school teacher his school;* the stu dent his studies, the rich pl?uter his pr>ncely home, the. white la borer his labor, and even.lhe min ister his churcn to battle for what they deemed a righteous cause. They did not consider the conse quences, for to them the call to war was the call of duty, and they would obey it, let come what might. And the women of the South, reared in refinement and luxury, did they shrink back from the ter rors and hardships of war and seek to withhold their loved ones? No! in their bosoms too burned the purest patriotism, aud although their hearts were torn with an guish at the thought of giving them to their country, the s^use of duty rose above human emotion, and with tearful smile they buckled sword on father, brother, son, and husband and bade them go, fully resolved to nobly do th* harder woman's part of takiug care of the homes, and watching and waiting. This impulsive zeal and fiery patriotism could it with stand reverses and privation, or would it not rather die as quickly as it came? For answer I beg ; ou turn the pages of adverse historians and read from the fall of Fort Sumter to the sad but shameless day at Appomattox. Of how a country of five million inhabitants, practi cally without arms and equip ments, w;th no navy or merchant vessels, and shut out from the re sources of the world, maintained for four long years against a ca tion of more than four times its area and population, with an' or ganized army aud well equipped navy, and with tho resources and mercenary soldiers of the world from which to draw. A m ghty struggle for freedom that caused outside nations to look on in ad miration and wonder and with doubt as to the result. A struggle unequaled in the annals of history for its fierceness, bloodshed and valor. Of how during those four years 700,000 Confederate soldiers, poorly clad and half starved, coped with 2,400,000 well fed and well equipped Union soldiers. I would picture to you some of the battles of this war. First Mana8sas, where the uutried Southern troops proved their valor, and convinced the North that the South meant war, and war to the death. Where Beauregard, Jack son, Johnson, Bartow, Bee, 3nd our ?own Hampton, Butler, and Evans led the gallant charges that wrest ed a glorious victory from a confi dent enemy and wrote their names in immertal letters on tbe pages of their country's history. It was here thatT. J. Jackson was-first called "Stonewall" Jackson by Gen. Bee, who*was killed the same day leading a gallant charge pu the Union batteries. The terrible battle of Shiloh, where the Confederates led by Bragg, Polk, Hardee, Brecken ridge, and Albert Sidney Johnson in irresistable onslaught drove the brave and stubborn forces of Grant from the field and won a brilliant victory, but too " dearly won for it cost the South the life of Albert Sidney Johnson, the bright star of the Western army, an irreparable loss. 1 Fredericksburg where Lee with an army of 72,000 troops com pletely defeated Burnsides' army of 145,000. Whare Kershaw and his Carolinians won fresh laurels, and where the confident Confed erates sang : "Lee formed his line of battle! Said, 'Boys, you need not fear, For Longstreet's in the centre. And Jaokson io their rear.' " Chancellorsville, where Jackson won his last victory and lost his life. Of whom the defeated Union General Howard said: "Stonewall Jackson was victorious." Even his enemies praise , him; but providentially for us it was the last battle that he waged against the American Union. For, in bold planning, in energy of execut ion, which he had the power to diffuse, in indefatigable activity and moral ascendancy, Jackson stood head and shoulders above his confreres, and after his death General Lee could not replace mm." Yes, the name of Stonewall Jack son will go down in history as the ablest and most brilliant officer produced by the Civil War.

The recoi charge, and planted their cob over the Federal guns; but si rounded by overwhelruing nu bers of the enemy, were forced retreat leaving the greater part their number on the field-T great attack had failed ; but th had made one of tho grand? charges recorded in history. I might speak of Antietam, t wilderness, Chicamanga, aud of i the other battles that attested t gallantry of the Confederates ai their foes. But do they not i long to history? And you i 6hould know it. If you do ni shame be upon be upon you to f( get-the heroio deeds of-your fathe but a generation past. - . We come to the sad, last strugg of Lee's army before Richi?ond. Half fed and clothed, ?xhau-de sad in the face of inevitable defet these veterans in their .?tattere uniforms, fought ou with despera courage. For long years had tb? carried the hopes of tl South's freedom on the bayonets, f for months bi they lived on starvation ration sometimes on green corn or ha ripe fruit time and time again ht they met in the heavy brunt i battle superior numbers, often i victory, never in dishonor, oppo ?og a cont^aut front to the mighl concentration of power brougl against them, they were force slowly back to Appomattox-Hei was to end this monentoi struggle. Patriotism, courag? endurauce could so no fur the 100,0000 Union soldiers surrounde the war worn remnant of the arm of the Potomac, that in comparabl body of infantry, now reduce to 10,000 effective rueu. The are ready to die; but ca go no farther. Lee sees th end has come and accept the inevitable with a calm an brave exterior; but the broke hearts of him and his men raise mute cry of anguish to the God c nations. The struggle of th South for freedom had failed au gone down forever ; but the Sont! ern Army and its leaders had IK failed. The majestic character of Rob E. Lee stands out from the dari ground of the bloody war con raandine, the admiration and n spect of friend, foe, and strnngf alike. He was indeed Nature nobleman, sans peur et sans repr; che. I might speak of the othe chivalrous leaders of the Southon Army; but I shall rather speak c all the Confederate soldiers fo they were all heroes and did thei duty as became heroes. And their ta6k was not ove when the war was ended. The; returned hor*- J to find their field grown up, their slaves freed an< the needs of their families o'em and iug reliel. Turning from the pas with a regretful sigh, they bravely faced the future, and commenc?e the battle of life uuder new condit ior,s, without means but with tba indomitable courage that has ne^ei yet acknowledged defeat. Auc not only their private affairs bu those of the public demanded o: them untiring labor and attentior The gift of citizenship had been placed in the hauds of the freed slaves, unfit to receive it, and the government was in their control The salvation of the State required that it be wrested from them, Through the dark and stormy daye of reconstruction, these war worn veterans fought for white supremacy, and sought to lay the foundations of a New South. Did they succeed? Look around you. Our government is in the control of those to whom it belongs, to whom God gave it. From whose hands the Fifteenth Amendment or Federal Statutes can never wrest it. Our Country throbbing with the spirit ot mighty progress, our people happy, free' from the eui se of slavery to which they gave far more then they received. People may talk about the horrors of slavery in the South, and cite you exceptional instances of cruel masters. I tell you that no people in history have done more for Christianity and for a savage race than the people pf the South havejdone in taking among them the negroes, the most utterly degraded type of humanity, giving to them the blessings of Christianity and enlightenment. No, the negro gained every thing by slavery among us, tis the Southern people who have suffered by it." How much, God only knowe. It bas tainted our people, impeded our progress, brought war and ruin upon us, coBt us thousands of our best citizens, and now the darkest cloud upon our horizon is the negro question. People of Edgefield, children of the Confederates, heirs of their glory, and beneficiaries of their herioclives! Can we forget them? People of Edgefield ! I blush to say it but were it not for the fair women of our Country, who would cherish their memory? Where it ont for them, I doubt whether we should be here today. Soon, as the result of untiring labor, they will en-ct in Edgefield a handsome mnnument to the Confederate dead. This ip great; but tn infinitely more grateful and lovely memorial is he spirit of devotion that mude this possible. It was a woman's hand tbat cared for tho unknown soldier graves in Edgefield. The ranks of those who serk to cherish the memory of the Conled erate dead, never suffer d greater loss than the death of her who shared the cares and counsels of the War Governor of South Carolina, She, who fcad adorned tho Court, ol Imperial Russia with the matcbleps grajceof a Southern woman, was* No woman can be - too careful of her condition during the period be fore her little ones are born. Neglect or improper treatment then endan-. gers her life and that of the child. It lies with her whether she shall suffer unnecessarily, or whether the ordeal shall be made comparatively easy. She had better do nothing than dc something wrong. WEMB is the one and the only preparation that is safe to use. It is a liniment that penetrates from the outside.
