SOUTH CAROLIP
News of Interest Gleaned Fron
Arranged For
Veterans Gather at Greenville.
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.

CREAI SINGER DEAD
Ira D. Sankey Transferred to
the Choir Celestial
THE WORLD'S GREATEST SINGER
Former Companion of Dwight L.
Moody and the Greatest Hymn
Writer of the Present Day Passes
Away at Eft Home in Brooklyn.
New York, 'Special.-Ira David
Sankey* known as ah evangelist
throughout the Christian world, died
Thursday night at his home in Brook
lyn, but the news of his passing did
not become generally known until Fri
day. Mr. Sankey was 68 years of
age. For the last five years he had
been blind and had suffered from a
complication of diseases, broughht on
by overwork. But almost to the very
last ho workod at hymn writing. Hrs
tours throughout this country and
Europe with Dwight L. Moody, the
evangelist, brought him into wide
prominence.
Composer of Many Songs.
Sankey, it might be said, wrote the
Gospel hymns of the world. In China,
Egypt, India, Japan, in almost every
language known to man, Sankey's
hymns are sung. He received a large
income from his publications and
leaves considerable of an estate.
Among Mr. Sankey's most familiar
compositions are "The Ninety and
Nine" and "When the Mists Have
Rolled Away." His songs are said to
have had a circulation of more than
50,000,000 copies..
He wes a rapid "composer and wrote
book after book of Gospel hymns.
During the last five or six years of his
life he was interested in preparing
and publishing tho story of the Gos
pel hymns. At the same time he sav
ed his wonderful voice for posterity
by singing into phonographs. The
records were sent all ever the world.
Sankey first met Moody at a Y. M.
C. A. convention in Indianapolis.
Moody was so charmed with the
young man's voice that he urged him
to accompany him on his evangelistic
tours. Sankey explained that he was
married and could not give up his
position. "You must come," said
Mcodv. "I cannot get along without
you."'
Tours with Moody.
Sankey consulted with his wife and
they cast in their lot with Mr. Moody.
They visited Great Britain from 1S73
to 1875, and again in 1883, and made
many tours throughout the United
States. When Mr. Moody died, Mr.
Sankey felt keenly the loss of his
friend. From that time he tried to
conduct the work alone which they
had hitherto shared between them, but
the task was too great. In 1902 his
physical condition compelled him to
givo up most of his evangelical en
gagement?., although ho continued for
some time to compile new series of
hymn books. Then came failing eye
sight, which speedilv developed into
total blindness. With the blindness
carno also a nervous breakdown.
After his retirement from public life
tho impression became general
throughout the country that he was
dead.
Mr. Sankey lived in Brooklyn for
twenty-seven years, and it was there
that most of his songs Avere written.
He was a singer from boyhood, and
his voice attracted, attention in thc
hamlet of Edenburgh, Pa., where he
was born "August 28th, 1840. At the
beginning of Iiis active life Mr. San
key was a Methodist, but for the last
seven years he had been a Presbyte
rian. Hp is survived by a widow.
Fanny V. Sankey, his two sons, I.
Allen Sankey and Edward Sankey,
and two grandchildren.

TO REMOVE OLD PAINT.
To remove old paint from wood
work, make a streng solution of wash
ing soda and apply it to the paint
with a finish, being careful that it
does not get on your hands or cloth
ing. After a short time Wash off
with ? mop, being careful, as before,
not to let the liquid touch th? ne.6h
or clothing.
Ammonia is~also a good agent, t'se
diluted household ammonia and pro
ceed as with washlis roda. Begin
to wash off ss scon us the fumes pass
cif. The paint may be scraped or
burned off. but this is a difficult thing
fer an amateur to do.
To clean painted woodwork, tak?
two quarts of hot water, two table
spoonfuls of turpentine, one bf skim:
med milk and soap enough' to mak?
suds. The mixture will clean and give
lust sr.
Paint can be removed from glass
by rubbing it with hot, strong vinegar.
