Last week the streets of grand old Columbia resounded with the tramp, tramp of the Confederate soldier, bat this time they came not in battle array bearing the paraphernalia of war, and the instrnments of death and de6tri c ion, bat fco'peacefully assemble in a reunion of the surviving venterans which made op the two I armies of the Southern Confederacy as the honored guests of a proud and grateful people. Ic is the unanimous verdict of those who attended this reunion that it was the grandest one in every particular that they have yet j attended and they are all loud id the praie* of the magnificent reception which ovei flowed with hospitality and thoughtful attention 8 8 well as considerate kindness. Columbia bad put on her holiday attirTbe Stars and Bars fl>ated everywhere and buntings were gracefully twined and festooned on all sides The lovliness of the fair eity on that occasion is beyond our powers of description. Column after column and page after p8ge may be writteD, about it, and then, like the Queen Beer- < shebe on first beholding the beauty, 1 the grandeur and the glory of King Solomon's temple, the half would not : have been told. Nothing like it was i ever seen there before and it is probable that it will be many a day before its like will be seen again. An elaborate programme for each day's entertainment was arranged and faithfully carried cat All the * speeches were fine, and they all glowed and bnrned with a spirit of untarnished patriotism and were filled with expressions of unquenchable love for the men and women of the Confederacy. That of Miss Lumpkin is highly commended. The Sponsors and their Maids of Honor were the choicest and most beautiful flowers of Carolina's soil and were the embodiment of* that grace- : fulness and charming culture that ] characterized their mothers in the t "days when knighthood was in I flower." Miss Ida Reeder was the c Sponsor of Camp Steadman and Miss Fannie Oswald her Maid of Honor. We rhail not attempt to follow the ] programme for obvious reasons, but will give an outline of one of the I most touching incidents of the re- ] union because the like of which was never before witnessed on America's soil. It was on Wednesday when the Veterans paraded. It rained, as if the very heavens wept over the sad sight of so many maimed and battle scarred Veterans who were made 60 in defense of honor i and conviction. The streets were i very muddy an i dtrk clouds hung < around. Heedless of ail that?they ' paraded. Fir*t the band, then j 1 the Richland Volunteers and after j < this historic company came pquares j ' and squares of little tiny children? most of them dressed in white and | red ribbons, headed by E. S. Dreher, ! Principal of the Columbia Graded I Schools, with a tiny little girl by the ! hand. Each of the children carried ] baskets on their arms filled with ; < flowers and strewed them aloDg the j < muddy streets for the poor old Yete- j * rans to walk upon. There was no vie- l tor's wreath of laurel to crown their I browb, but the pure love of a grate- i tui people redeemed, lu a large meaa ure, the absence of the crowning glory of the wreath. The floral parade was an impressit# and pleasiDg feature of the occasion. It was indeed a scene of bewildering splendor and a picture of unsurpassed loveliness. Nothing could have been added to make it a more complete success. And, now; what shail we say of Columbia's UDb unded and UDraeas urable hospitality? What bhe has doD@ for the Old Veterans has kicdled afresh and fanned int.o a flame the smouldering embers of unselfish patriotism; it has cemented the people of the State in the bonds of brotherly love never again to be dissolved by factional strife and dissension; it has made us to remember that we are the sons and daughters of men whose tattered, torn and bullet riddled banners are silent but eloquent witnessees of their fi'heib'j bravery upon the battle field, and whose mothers wore homespun dresses in order to supply their husbands with the nece? series of life, and inspired them with the valor and strengthened their arms to resist the tnoney and men of the combined world, and above all it has shown us that the old Confederate soldier is not forgotten and that the people of loyal old Columbia honors and re- , spects and loves them, and esteems the sacrifice the Confederate made in defence of country, State and home. God bless the men of Columbia, God bless its fair women aod 6weet little children for grand lessons in true nonobillty aodjhospitalitv! May he cause the blessings of prosperity, peace and happiness to smile upon all the undertakings of its peoplt! The present high price of the raw cotton and the low price of manufactured goods is teaching the industrial world a lesson that it will not soon forget. We have never been a disciple of the theory of low prices. We believe that goods should be valued in/ proportion to their quality; that there should be a legimate profit to the producer of the raw material, the manufacturer of the goods, and the laborers whose skill turns the cotton into commercial commodities. That is, there should be a remunera tive price on raw cotton and tbe manufactured goods, and an increase in the wages of the laborer. We believe that the country would thrive and prosper under such a system of industrial economy as it has never before, because there would be a 3tate of almost universal satisfaction jnd contentment existing among the people, and where these beatitudes. rxists happiness and prosperity will find an abiding place. The laborer should have more money with which to purchase more goods, the manufacturer would be in a position to pay a higher pi ice for the raw material, because according to the law )f supply and demand he would sell nore and belter gcods at higher prices than he now does, and tbe producer would receive bis share cf he healthy activity. There would 36 lees contention between labor and capital and fewer strikes. ANNUAL REPORT OF W.

What the common people say carries weight, but when a man of national prominence says "Peruna should he used in every household," it is a significant fact- to the increasing prominence and undoubted efficacy of Peruna. Peruna is of national fame as a catarrh remedy. It is the only internal systemic catarrh remedy known to the medical profession. It makes diseased mucous membranes healthy, whether it is the mucous membrane lining the nose, throat, lungs, stomach, kidneys or pel viu organs, ix, cures various diseases or all these organs, because two-thirds of the ills of mankind are due to catarrh. "With healthy mucou3 membranes climatic diseases lose their terror, the system is enabled to throw off contagion, and health follows inevitably. .< Mr. A. T. Wood, Mt. Sterling, Ky., writes: I " For many years I have been a suf? ferer from catarrh, and have spent time and money with physicians and used many kinds of remedies which were *guaranteed sure cures', but in j every case it was money thrown ay/ay. j " / reaped no benefit whatever from them. In my seemingly vain search for relief I purchased a bottle of Pei runa, having no confidence in it what? ever at the time. This was about one year ago, and I began to improve and j was able to attend to my business without being constantly hampered by every kind of pain known to a human1 being. My hearing, which was almost entirely gone in one ear, got very much better. The medicine not only seems to cure. but to nrevent disease. * I "This winter when every one was suffering from la grippe, I stood like a stone wall, absolutely proof against it. \ lam not a believer in 4patent medl clnes,' having found the majority of them fakes, but I do not hesitate to recommend Peruna as the best medl' cine for catarrh the world has ever seen. I keep a bottle of it at home constantly and shall continue to do so, 1 because I believe it to be the best med' iclne on earth. 1 never leave home that I don't put a bottle of it in my grip." A. T. WOOD. | , Mr. Evan D. Bowen, Dodge City, Kan.,: I Conductor on the A. T. <fc S. F. R. R.,' : writes: "I have had catarrh of the stom- i ach for seven years, and I began to think J that I never was going to be cured. At i the time I began taking Peruna,I was nn- i able to make more than one or two trip3 ! on the road at a time, not being able to! keep anything on mv stomach. I then j weighed 168 pounds. 1 have been taking j i Peruna since that time and have never lost a trip, and now weigh 200 pounds." ?Evan D.
