Greenville, Special.-South Caro lina Confederate Veterans gathered ere for the annual reunion of the men who wore the grey. Thc most notable event of the re anion was the address of Col. R. E. Lee", of Virginia, which was deliver ed in Chicora Auditorium. Other ad dresses were delievered by Governor Ansel, Col. A. H. Dean and Geo. Thos. W. Carwile, of Edgefield. After the addresses dinner was served to the Veterans on the Colleere campus, and a rare old time was enjoyed by the meaants of the thin gray lino. A routine business meeting was held in the afternoon, presided over by &en. Carwile, commanding the Vet erans, while the Sons of Veterans held a session in the chapel at Green ville Female College. At night at Chicora the address before the Sons was delivered by the Rev. Dr. 0. J. Copeland, of Gainesville, Ga., whose subject was "Thc Old South." Dr. Copeland is a South Carolinian, and his address was heard hy a large audience. Col. Lee's address was a magnifi cent tribute to the Confederate sol dier; -his ideals, hopes, his aspira tions and his wonderful powers of endurance. The oration was a finished master piece and the enthusiasm of the im mense gathering was unbounded. Col. Lee reviewed the early history of the American Republic and showed the part the South took in the strug gle for independence. "The descend ants of these early American heroes were for the most part the men who filled the trenches in the days of the sixties," declared Col. Lee. "Tim are the men who have made the South the fairest and dearest spot on God's footstool. The-'devastation of the South in the war was the most terrible affliction that ever befell a people. Not only were our cities laid waste, but even thc fields were rifled and barns plundered." Col. Lee is a relative of the famous Conf?d?ral egeneral. He has the same fire in hi* eye. and his face is mark ed with many resemblances to the be loved chieftain. Facing several thousand Veterans and Sons he brought them a new messe ge orders that read, "Peace, Love aud Honor." "It is not my provine^," he said, "to "defend the Confederate soldier. His best defence is his honor and valor and the spirit in which he met duty. It i> my greatest heritage that I am a son of a Confederate soldier." When Col. Lee finished speaking the entire audience was on its feet and one loud, long cheer was sent, towards the Auditorium's beau tifully decorated dome. The dinner to the Veterans, which was served on tho campus, was an ample and capable affair, costing $700, and over 2,500 were fed. Great tables, spread under the old oaks, and in the shadow of Chicora's impres sive and classic eollonade, arched with thc battle-scarred Veterans of the sixties, was a sight never to be forgotten. The dinner was served by Daughters of the local camp, and was intcrspread with many a story of stirring heroism.
