' FLAG- PRESENTATION.
Last Saturday was red letter day
for the Confederate Veterans of Camp
Steadman, and the gray haired boys
6djoyed themselves as they bad never
did one before. The occasion was
one of gladness notwithstanding that
the proceedings revived sad recollec
tions of stirring scenes of the glori
ous past.
The court house was simply, but appropriately
decorated with hot house
plant3, cut flowers and a wreath and
harp of evergreens prepared by Mrs.
- i i jji.
Maggie Jtiarman ana several oame
scarred flags. To the right of the
commandant was the fLg of Company
C, Capt. Lewie commanding, on
the left was that of the Saluda
Guards. In the foreground of the flrst
was that of the Lexington Light
Dragoons and in front of the latter
was that of Meetze's Company?the
Johnston Rifles. The sight of these
old and bullet shot relics of the past
caused the heart of many a veteran to
beat faster and their pulse to quick
en. In front of the commandant
resting upon a handsome easle was a
beautiful bust portrait of Col. J. M.
Stead man, in whose honor the Camp
is named.
The Camp was opened in usual
form and the application for membership
of several veterans and sons
of veterans were received and they
were unanimously elected.
The election of a Colonel of Lexington
regiment to succeed Col. D.
J. Griffith, who had resigned, was
then entered into. Adjutant M. D.
Harm an was the only nominee and
by resolution of the Camp, Dr. J. W.
Geiger was instructed to cast the
vote of the Camp for Adjutant Harman,
which was done, he receiving
43 votes being all the members present.
BANNER PRESENTATION.
The hour for the presentation of
the beautiful banner donated by the
ladies of Lexington county through
the untiring zeal of Mrs. M. D. Harman.
The banner was of fine blue
silk, trimmed with gold lace, with
gold fringe and gold tassels sus
pended by silver cords. The centre
piece was the coat of arms of the
State^ The staff was of antique oak.
It bore the following inscription:
"Camp Steadman; No. 668, U. C. V.,
Lexington, S. C. Organized, September
11,1895."
The following is a synopsis of
DR BROOKERS ADDRESS.
Without a country, without a flag
the fallen heroes of the Lost Cause
sleep in their nameless graves, unwept,
unhoDored and unsung only as
their surviving comrades and the
warm hearted women and brave men
of our beauteous Southland recall their
brave deeds and proclaim their glorious
achievements.
No wealthy government with its
coffers filled with silver and gold
stretches forth the strong arms to
gather their remains into costly cemeteries
and expensive mausoleum; no
powerful hand is extended to rescue
their names from oblivion and to
chisel them on marble tablets or
towering shafts. But enshrined in
the hearts of a grateful people, their
hallowed names will never die till
that people too have passed from a
life of death to a deathless life.
None know so well as you that the
history of the world records the
achievements of no soldiery more
glorious.
The story of Zenophen and his
memorable ten thousand which has
come all along down through the centuries,
furnishes no instances of
greater valor than was displayed by
your Confederates on scores of frightful
fields. The fame of the world
conquering hosts of Alexander the
Great has lived through more than
twenty centures, but we read of none
of their victories, wonderful as they
were, which surpassed the more brilliant
successes of our Southern heroes.
The historic legions of Caesar
in the halcyon days of old Rome
when she sat on her seven hills and
ruled the world, never excelled in
courage and patriotism the superb
followers of the Southern crose. The
brave three hundred who fell with
Leonidas at the pass of Thermophylae
were not more self-sacrificing nor
patriotic than they. That glorious
army of heroes who were left sleeping
in their winding sheets of snow
in the dark forests of Hohenlmden
rar ninro unviplftincr
?c,oi J o
courage. Neither Napoleon at Austerlitz,
nor on the bridge at Lodi; nor
Wellington at Waterloo commanded
more splendid armies than the
tattered battalions who followed the
banners of Lee and Johnson. The
dariDg heroism of McDonald at
Wagram scarcely equalled in dazzling
splendor the sublime charge of
the chivalric Pick* t and his devoted
division up the cannon crowned
heights of Cemetery Ridge at world
famed Gettysburg. The immortal
Jackson, with his veteran corps, in
his wonderful Valley campaign and
praver \\ithoul t)
anfV?\ever tl
was a husband .<
worthy of the name, who did not aspire
to be the father and the grandfather of R
healthy, capable children to hand down
his name and the fortune accumulated by *
the sweat of his brow, from generation to
generation. There never was a wife fit to X
bear that noble title, who did not wish to 'J
wear womanhood's most glorious crown,
the sceptre of motherhood. Thousands p
of wedded couples, otherwise happy, fall
short of wedlock's greatest happiness because
they are childless. In the majority
of cases, this is because the wife, through t.
ignorance or neglect, suffers from weakness
and disease of the organs distinctly M
femiuine. For women who suffer in this
way there is one great medicine that docs y(
hot fail to accomplish its purpose. It is
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It acts t.
directly on the delicate organs concerned
and makes them strong, healthy, vigorous, r'
virile and elastic. It allays inflammation, :.
heals ulceration, soothes pain and tones
the shattered nerves. It fits for wifehood y
and motherhood. It quickens and vitalizes
the distinctly feminine organism. It ban- 8
ishes the maladies of the expectant months
and makes baby's introduction to the world a
easy and almost painless. It insures the y
little new-comer's health and nourishment
in plenty. It is the best supportive tonic y
for nursing mothers.
Mrs. Jennie Parks, of Marshall, Spokane Co..
Wash., writes: " I am glad to tell of the good ?.
results of your great medicine.? Dr. Pierce's "
Favorite Prescription. I was benefited by your
medicine in conhnement. It gives me strength. v
I have no tired feeling and mv baby is the
picture of health. I feel better than I have in e
ten years."
In cases of constipation Dr. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets should be used as an a
adjunct to the "Favorite Prescription,"
they are extremely simple, perfectly natural 8
and insure prompt and permanent relief. q
later at Fredricksburg and Chancel- ^
lorsville and at Groveton won greater
?
renown than did Ney at the head of the
Old Guard of the Grand Army.
Cardigan, with his brave six hundred,
has been immortalized in song and 8
story, yet the Light Brigade at Bala- ^
klava were not more chivalric?never ^
more courageous than the splendid
squadrons of Stuart and Wheeler and
Fitzhugh Lee, and you, my friends, d
will never suffer to perish the fame J
won by your own comrades in their h
glorious young manhood, whose g
strong arms and stout hearts ren- s
dered illustrious your Hamptions and r
Hagoods and Butlers and Brattons, e
your McGowans and Jinkin's and o
Wallace and Garys and Conners and d
Kershaws, and your own honored f
Steadman. Living ever in our mem- (3
ory the faces of the comrades of our t
earlier days rise before us even now: t
"The throng the silence of the breast f
We see them as of yoore,
The kind, the true, the brave, the best,
Who walk with us no more." t
They have gone on before, leaving t
behind them the pathway of duty c
and of honor splendidly illumined, by g
the brilliancy of their deeds and the c
splendor of their lives, inspiring us to (
higher aims and purer purposes, \
ever beekenmg us upward and on
ward.
"How strange it seems - witb so much gone,
Of life and love?to still on ?
Y^t love will dream and faith will trust
i Since be who knows our need is just)
That somehow, somewhere, meet we must.
The ceremonies of an occasion like
this would have bean incomplete
without and effort to pay a slight
tribute to the gallant men whose
elbow touch you constantly felt in
your young mandhood, where duty
summoned you to the field of honor
and of daDger.
I should have failed to merit the
approval of those for whom I speak
today, nor would I have reflected the
sentiments of their loving hearts if
I had neglected to lay a simple garland
on the graves of our sainted
comrades. All along down the centuries,
since Mary Magdalene and
Joanna and Mary the mother of
James, with their ointments and
costly spices were first at the sepulchre
on the third day morning, till
now, in war and in peace, in sunshine
and in shadow, in joy and in sorrow,
noble women, pure and patriotic,
loviDg and tender, have labored to
lighten the burdens and increase the
pleasures of the sons of men, words
of cheer came from their loviDg lips,
when in the enthusiasm of your
vnnnor manhood. von marched awav
"to the wild grand music of war." *
Her prayers sheltered you on the *
gory field, and when you kept watch (
and ward in the wild storm or under )
the quiet midnight stars. When 1
torn by shells and pierced by balls "in J
the trenches of forts or in the wild 1
whirlwind of the charge," her tender '
hands binded your wounds, minis- !
tered to your wants in the hospitals 1
of pain, and tenderly nursed you '
back to life. Ah! more, yonder shaft '
pointing heavenward, bearing in 1
scribed on its marble faces the im- '
perishable names of your departed 1
comrades is but and added testi- 1
monial to her devotion to the memory
of her conntrys defenders?"woman's
tribute to valors worth."
She comes again today with a new '
manifestation of her thoughtful consideration
and bids me place in your
keeping the lovely banner I now unfurl
in your presence.
It is not the fiery cross which in
your younger days you followed to
honor and to victory. You are not
expected to unfurl it in the forefront
of battle. It is not intoned that it
shall beckon you onward, tlutteriDg
between contending hosts, to the
ramparts of the foe. You have passed
the half century mile post in the
roadway of life. You arenearingthe
time when you must answer the last
roll call. You are to receive this
rather as au emblem of peace, a
tribute from loving bands to loyal
hearts. Beneath its lovely folds you
will quietly gather at your peaceful
^unions. You have earned the light
j rest beneath its shade, and I need
ot admonish you, care for it tenderly
nd preseive it among your most
ulued m< mt utos.
In the natural order of events your
anks will grow thinner as the years
oil by, one by one you will pass over
be river and rest under the shade c-f
be trees?
The leaves of the oak and the willow shall
lade,
!escatic-ied around and together be laid,
ud the you jg and the old and the low and
the high
hall moulder to dust and together shall lie:
ris ti e wmk of eye, 'tis the draught of a
breath
roiu the blossom of health to the paleness
i.i death.
The time will come when C$mp
Headman will have its last survivor,
fhen one only shall be left?"a single
ose left on the stalk to show where
he garden had been.1' While your
oil contains the r.ame cf one survivDg
veteran; while one comrade lives
rith silvered head and tottering
teps and trembling hands to hold
loft this lovely gift of gentle
woman's hands this 11 ig shall be
ours.
And now, honored sir, in behalf of
he generous and kind hearted donors,
nth their earnest and heartfelt
trayer that each survivor of your
amp may have added blessings with
dded years, that they may all live to
;ather together beneath its folds at
aany happy reunions, I place this
beautiful banner in you hands aeured
that you will convey it in
iroper terms to your gallant comades.
The following is but an imperfect
ynopsis of the beaatifully conceived
leeply pathetic and eloquently deivered
address of
MA J. H A MEETZE:
He briefly referred to the gallant
1 " 1 ? Ml -
leeas ana urimani services ui vaji.
. M. Steadman, the person in whose
tonor the Camp was named. He
^lowiDgly recounted the stirring
cenes through which he led his
egiment, and then told how, after
scaping the dangers and privations
f bloody war, he returned to his
lesolate and ruined.home with broken
ortunes and with the hopelessness of
tiscouragement to retrieve his forunes
only to be shot down on the
hreshold of his home by negro des>eradoes.
Col. Steadman was a graduate of
he Citadel Academy, and was among
he first to raise a company in this
:ounty, which was known as sharphooters.
He first enlisted for twelve
uonths and was assigned to duty in
3ol. Bratton's regiment. In 1861 he
?as made Major and at the re organzation
he was elected Colonel,?Col.
dratton having been promoted to
he rank of General.
He then referred to the love, derotion
and patriotism of the women
>f our lovely Southland to the cause
n which their fathers, brothers and
iweethearts were engaged in battle
o uphold and perpetuate. Had it
lot been for the sympathy and en:ouragement
of women the war
vould have ended long before it did;
>ut like the Spartan mothers, the
Southern matrons placed the sword
ind musket in the bands of their
ions and consecrating their young
ives to their counrty, bade them to
lofQ onrl rln for fhoir VinmAHftDfl fr*AA
iom with a heroism born in heaven,
tnd the youDg Southern girls ordered
heir lovers to the front with an enthuilasm
that brooked no delay. But the
narvelous patriotism of the Southurn
women did not stop here. "With
telf sacrificing devotion to the cause
,hey espoused and which was sanctiied
and made holy by-a baptism of
he blood of their loved ones, they
sheered, encouraged and inspired their
lien to deeds of valor and bravery
hat astounded and amazed the civiized
world. She was found in the
hospitals ministering to the wants of
;he sick, applying lotions and bandiges
to the wounded, and receiving
;he last tender messages to loved
ones and closing the eyes in that
ong sleep after the soul had winged
ts everlasting flight to the eternal
oity. She was at railroads serving
hot coffee and daity refreshments to
tired and weary, the hungry and half
3tarved, and tattered and ragged
Confederate soldiers as they passed
hither and thither in response to orders.
In the quiet home sitting in
sorrow unspeakable as her thoughts
burned to her loved ones in the valleys
of Virginia or the blood stained fields
of the South, not knowing whether
they were in the land of the living, or
rolipfhpr thev had naaapd into the si
lent beyond, her deft fingers were
ever busy making articles of apparel
and the choicest food that she could
supply for the uboys who wore the
gray." She took the place of the
men in the fields and in the shops
and she was both father and mother
to her little ones. History records no
more brilliant deeds and self sacrificing
devotion than those performed
by the women of the South during
the four years of unequal struggle;
and when the banners were
furled and the dogs of war silenced
at Appamatox Court House,
'twas woman's never dying love
and matchless courage that wiped
away the tears from the sunkissed
and battle scarred cheeks and mangled
and maimed forms of the retured
soldiers as they viewed the
ravages and luiu wrought by the
hands of cru< 1 ami savrge enewic .
She has kept the memory of lhot?who
fought for the immortal juiuci
plen f ?r which they contended freth
and greet! iu the hearts and affections
of the wot Id by the erection of marble
monuments in commemoration of
their gallant deeds and heroic struggles.
Referring to the Confederate monument
which stands on the left of
the court house in honor of our heroic
dead, the Major said that there
should be another one on the right
erected by the men in grateful remembrance
to the heroism and patriotism
of the women of the South
during the daik days of the Southern
Confederacy.
The same heroic spirit rules the
heart of woman today when the occasion
arises to call it into play as
was exhibited by Miss Helen Gould
in ministering to the needs and neces
sities of the boys in oiue wno le
turned from serving their country in
Cuba and the members of the Red
Cross who gave up the pleasures and
comforts of home to suffer the hatdships
and privations incident to work
on the battlefields of a foreign and
strange country in order to minister
to the wants of the sick, wounded
and dyiDg in the army. He spoke of
McKinley's visit to the South and
to his speech in Atlanta when he
said that the time had arrived when
we (the United States) should take
care of the Confederate dead. B it
the women of the South, in righteous
indignation, said No! and claimed tl e
right to care foi the last resting j lace
of the sleeping heroes, and refused
to relinquish the sacred trust into
other hands.
Brothers, comrades! It is a pleas
ure to meet with you here on this
occasion. Soon the last bugle will
be sounded and many of us will
cross over the liver and the Confed
erate Veteran who made Southern
history gloriously brilliant will lne
only in the memory and affections of
those who will come after us. Let
us enlist under the banner of him
who died for us, and we will be received
with songs of triumph and be
robed with immortality.
The first presentation of any banner
in this county was that to the
Saluda Guards in 18G1 at the Old
Saluda factory. The first man from
this county who fell in the war was
Lieutenant Zeao Swygert, who fell
at Hilton Head. He was the father
of Sergeant Enoch Swygert, who is
the color bearer of Camp Steadman.
We accept this beautiful banner, not
for its intrinsic value, but from the
noble spirit which inspired tLe fair
donors to present it to the Camp.
We say to you, you have our unrestrained
confidence. No greater
motive could have actuated the gift
than that which moved the women
in making it. We receive it in trust
and as long as a single survivor lives
it will be hallowed and cherished as
a pleasant memento of women's devotion
to the Lost Cause.
Placing the banner in the hands
of Sergt. Enoch Swygert, the Major
said, into your keeping I give this
banner.
SEKGT. ENOCH SWYGERT
in accepting the banner, said in sub
stance, I thank you and the ladies
for this gift. Loved ones fell beneath
this and that banner (pointing to several
tattered and torn battle flags]
and this one will be loved and re
vered, and it will never be allowed tc
trail in the dust so long as Camp
Steadman exists and it is the bam er
of this Camp.
COL U R. BROOKS
being present, was called upon for an
address. He responded in his usual
happy manner. He said it was always
a pleausure and filled his heart
with the deepest emotions to meet
and talk to the men who fought in
the Confederate war. It was a great
pleasure to meet the soldiers of Lex
ington, with some of whom he
fought and there were never bravei
[ or more gallant soldiers than they
He said that ho would never forget
the addresses of Dr. Brooker and
Maj. Meetze. They deeply touched
his heart and opened up the casket
of memory that he could scarcely
keep back the tears that would rise
unbidden to his eyes. All these oc
casions were lovely and grand. H<
recited several anacdotes which caux
under his observation, some of whicl
were quite laughable and others ver^
pathetic. Referring to the Confed
erate soldier he said they were lovei
and admired ihe world over for theii
I enduiiog patience, uncomplaining
j sufferings and unparralleled bravery
j He urged that every Confederate sol
dier whose name was not on th<
Camp roster to have it put there a
