The Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25th; rebuilt July 19, 1894. G. M. HARM AN, Editor and Publisher. , LEXINGTON, S. C., WEDNESDAY. JULY 1, 189r>. For sometime past Commander Roof and Adjutant Harmau have been active in making arrangements for the pleasure, convenience and comfort of those members of Camp Lexington and aDy Confederate Veteran who desired to attend the sixth annual re-union of the United Confededrate Veterans at Richmond, and witness the unveiling of the monument to the memory of the great Confederate chieftaiD, Jefferson Davis. They were greatly assisted in their work by the officials of the Southern Railway Company, who made very liberal rates for the round trip and provided ample accommodations so as to prevent crowding and thus making the trip pleasant. About twenty six persons from this place joined the contingent from stations below, who were in turn joined by others at Columbia, making the total number going from this county about forty-seveD, as follows: George M. Caughman, Capt. J H. Counts, Jasper S. Derrick, 0. A. Derrick, R. V. Gantt, M. D. Harman, D. T. Hare, Dr. C. E. Leapbart Mike Meetze, T. S. Harman, J. M. Miller, John J. Reeder, J. \V. Reeder, Benjamin Riwl, Capt. S. M. Roof, J. M. Sbealv, F. P. Smith, J. C. Swygert, A. E. Wiugard, A 0. Wilson, L. 0. George, S. P. George, J J. Lowd, W. M. Lown, Paul P. Clark, Wesley Nichols, S. M. Pearson, J. E. Ful mtr, J. L Slice, Rev. Joab Edwards, Rev. J T. Myers, J. S. Hogan, T. C Smith, F W. Oswalt, M Crouch, WT. | E. Matthews, Dr. J. W. Geiger and B F. Boyd, colored. t - Tbe following persons accompanied the Veterans as a body guard: Arthur F. Harman, SiDgletou Harman, Samuel J Leaphait, Bob Leaphart, Sauimie Roof, Samuel B. George and A. J Fox. The whole contingent was chaparoned by Mrs. M. D. Harman, Mrs. M. M. Miller, and Miss M. L. Miller. Mr. Singleton Harman, writing to the Di-patch under date of June 30fcb, says that the party arrived sale at Richmond yesterday in good spirits. On our arrival the male portion of our party were taken in charge fcy a committee who quartered us in the old Exposition building ' which had been neatly fitted up with bunks and laid with clean straw. Our accommodations are that all could be reasonably expect-ed, considering the vast num ber of people who have to be provided for and looked after. While the hospitality of this grand old city is severely taxed, she is prepared for all emergencies and is meeting all demands made upon her. Captain Roof's face constantly wears a broad happy smile as he treads the old familiar camping ground which in the days that have passed resounded with the tramp of Lee's immortal host. Occasionally his eyes flash with the ^ ? ? ? a n /\( U Die UQU YigUl Ui ^UUIU ao scenes of the living past pass before him. Uncle Marion, "the Old 20th" as he is called at home, is in all his glory and is as happy is boy when he first puts on loDg pants. Dr. 3rooker Declines. To the Editor of the Dispatch: Quickly after the appearance of my announcement for the House, a card was forwarded to your office substantially asking its withdrawal. A more formal declination may be more satisfactory to my friends. Being entirely unwilling to re-enter public life, there is only a single exigency under which I could be induced again to offer for public place. The many kindnesses received in other days at the hands of the peo pie?al ways gratef ully remembered? have imposed upon me an obligation so weighty and enduring that, if perfectly sure that a majority of the Democratic voters desired my services I should then feel that to declme would be a manifestation of ingratitude. That such an emergency has ariseD, or is likely to arise, is not in evidence, and as my interests and inclinations are all the other way, with grateful acknowledgment to my friends for their earnest solicitations, I respectfully request that the announcement be withdrawn. The manifest and expressed desire of many good men of the Reform party?with whom I have recently differed?to have me again preferred to a position of public trust, has touched me deeply, and is here acknowledged with a heart overflowing with gratitude. I trust and believe that the time is near when factional strife shall cease, the bitterness of the past be buried and a rc-united Democracy, in county and State, a band of brothers as of yore, presenting an unbroken front and feeling o o the elbow touch, shall move onward together in the march of progress. That men will again be chosen to conserve the people's interest on individual merit without regard to factional differences. Only then will we secure the best results from the best of governments. The necessity for division no longer { exists. The questions which sepa- j rated us have been eliminated for the ] most part, and are no longer living ? issues. The sOb treasury scheme, i which many of us believed to be a . dangerous delusion, has been repudiated. The plan for government ownership of railroads and telegraph j lines, which would have placed these j pntormises under the control of poli- j { ticians rather than business men, has been abandoned. The dispensary matter has been settled by constitutional enactment. These were the rocks upon which we split. National finance is now all absorbing, and the Democracy of this State is practically united with reference to free coinage. Certainly not divided on factional lines on this issue. The resolutions of the recent county con vention in favor of the free coiuage of silver and the repeal of the ten per cent, tax on State banks were admirable in principle and in spirit, either will bring some degree of relief, but the best results can be had only when the one is supplemented by the other. The selection of our best men for office without considering past political differences will not only give us the most efficient form of government but will quickly allay the feelings of bitterness which have so unhappily I disturbed, in recent years, our hitherto pleasant relations.

Although I never used any secret remedies before, I prescribe St. Joseph's Sarsaparilla in my practice as I would any prescription of my own compounding, and any physician who will do the same will be greatly pleased at the results achieved.- In my opinion it is superior to all others and has been especially useful to me in Rheumatic and Scrofulous cases.

The Confederate reunion opened | it Richmond yesterday with charmng weather, clear and cool, An immense throng of people was present md the exposition groonds, where the convention is held in a large auditorium erected for the purpose, was crowded. The auditorium is handsomely decorated. As General Gordon showed his face on the rostrum this morning, a mighty Confederate yell went up and the battle scarred veteran received an ovation. Governor OFerrall and other distinguished men went up and grasped bis hand, and the bands played "Dixie," and the people shouted. Before the convention was called to older, General Gordon was presented with a gavel made from a tree from the battlefield of Chicamauga. Rev. J. W. M. Jones offered a fervent prayer to the God of Lee an! Jackson and Davis. General Gordon, without making a speech, introduced Governor O'Ferrall, who on behalf of Virginia welcomed the veterans. GENERAL HAMPTON SPEAK*. A veteran was passed to the front bearing an old battle flag that had been shot through in many places and waved it before the vast assemblage. When General Hampton was permitted to speak some one cried, "Louder!" "Louder?" "I used to be able to speak loud enough to make you charge," replied General Hampton. "Words," he said, "could not express his gratitude for the great honor which bad been given him. He had come to mingle with the vpfprnns. neihaDS for the last time. * > r L aDd do honor to the memory of that great maD, President Davis. The General said he would be still fighting now if the Confederate flag was waving. (Great npplause.) He halno apology to make for his course. When his State called upon him he went into tne war as a private and served hi3 country as best he could. The speaker paid a beautiful tribute to the private soldiers and in conclusion said the only epitaph he wanted written on his tombstone was that he was a Confederate soldier." GENERAL GORDONS RESPONSE. General Gordon responded to the address of welcome and received the building on behalf of the veterans. 1 The General's clear voice penetrated 1 every part of the hall. He said: Governor, Mr. Mayor and General Wise, ladies, and my Confederate comrades: You will not wonder that I am literally overwhelmed by the flood of emotions which this scene evokes. As we look upon the grizzled locks and furrowed brows of these stalwart men, who thirty years ago were soldiers of an army which they immortalized by their deeds, how ut4.a ova tl-ia trnrrlo nf tti 1J iuttuajumc ui v iuv f> V4v*w v* our lips to express the emotions of our hearts. Let me say to these gentlemen who in the name of this great people bid us welcome that full aud cordial as is our appreciation of this splendid leception we are in no sense surprised at its princely munificence. We are not surprised because we know Virginia and Virginians. We are the recipients of the honors soldiers of the victorious armies bring to a grateful people, the trophies of their triumphs. The world would comprehend the meaning of such a welcome as is here extended; but they were not the victors in that Titanic struggle. They are the shattered remnants of long since disbanded armies which leave to posterity no accretions of territory, uo receptions of public wealth or political power. The legacy which these men leave to their children and Deonle is a record of untarnished 1 X honor and of the most heroic defensive struggle in human annals, and the sole compensation for their services and sufferings is that reward which noble natures feel in such lvcognition by their grateful countrymen. On the other hand, no popular assemblage of intelligent and high spirited citizens in the world's posterity were freer from partisan zeal, or self-seekiDg spirit, or ignoble jealousies or sinister intention, and the muse of history will yet embalm iu one of her sweetest stories the ab| solutely unselfish character and exalted aims of these Confederate j gatherings. The pathos of that recital will be deepened by its eim plicity and beauty and heightened by the lesson which it will teach to humanity. That story will record the simple but sublime truth that while the reunions occurred year after year, at every stage of their proceedings neither embittered by disappointments Lor dwarfed by ignoble passions, neither warped by political ambitions nor narrowed by sectional prejudice, not blinded to the common interests of the Country by seifUh aims but made unselfish through suffering b oadened and ennobled by sacrifice, refined und purified in the fires of affliction, they embraced us a brother every true j lover of their couutiy and acknowlj edged no superiois i j devotion to the common weal and unfaltering support to the laws, the flag, the honor and the freedom of this American republic.

The speaker's tribute to Virginia and Virginians was greeted with prolonged applause. Various committees were announced and Gen. Stephen D. Lee read a lengthy repoit from the committee on history. Richmond is to be congratulated in the manner in which she prepared for the entertainment of her visitors. There has been no delay in the assignment of the great host of veterans to comfoitable quarters and the city is amply prepared for the entertainment of as many more. A reception was given !n honor cf Mrs. Jefferson Da\is and her daughter, Mrs. Hayes, in the Confederate * . ? i i - _ / Museum tonignt oy tne rcgeuis ui that institution. AVhtn the hour fixed for Mrs. Davis and her daughter to receive anived there was a solid mass of humanity in the streets about the house. The crowd numbered many thousands. Everybody made a mad rush to enter and it was apparent that the program could not be carried out as arranged. f ^ # D:ts from In and Near La^sville. To the Editor of the Dispatch: The candidates are coming out in full force. Go it, boys, I hope to hear some of your political views very soon.
