Some of the farmers are blue over
the destruction of their crops caused
by the excessive down pour of rain
d jring the past week. This sDouid ^
Dot be the case. No pood can possi- {
bly come of grumbling with the j
dispensations of providence and sic- j
ting down and spending our time in f
useless repining over things and \
conditions that are beyond our power ^
to control and regulate. The in- j
stincts of true manhood leads us to j
arouse ourselves from the lethergy j
produced by adverse circumstances ,
and face the emergencies before us. (
Int our farmers go bravely to work,
with as cheerful a heart as they can
possibly wear, to retrieve, as far as j
possible, their losses arising from .
ruined crops. There is plenty cf
time in which to plant cotton, corn,
psas, potatoes and other products .
and make abundant crops Let them
practice strict economy by lopping off
all useless and unnecessary expenses
and go manfully to work and we are
satisfied that when the crops are all
housed, things will not look bo blue
as they now eeem and the result will ,
justify the hard work.
Speaking of some of the benefits
to the people of the town and country
i
89 the sequence of county fairs, the ,
Columbia State sums up its conclu- (
8ion8 with the following clear cut 1
opinion in wnich we heartily concur: ^
"Toe town and the country do need ^
i) get together, their interests are (
mutu ?l and one canDOfc prosper with- ^
out the o*her. There is hardly anything
which will assist in the crea- ^
tion of a better social and business ^
friendship between the two than ^
a properly conducted county fair, ^
where the products of the factory as ^
well as the farm, the stock of the
stores as well as the stock of the
a
etables, can be dispU?ed and were
with the appropriate amusements and
diversions the folks from the country ^
snd ihe folks from the town can
rningls together and learn to know
each other better."
*'Tbere are 30.000 negro voters in
N-?wYork, 21,000 io New Jersej, 9

' w ire, 60,000 in Mart land, 15,000 in '
West Virginia, 18,009 in Indiana and
14 000 in Kansas. On this basis of 3
the majorities in the election of 1902, *
the transfer of this vote would have ^
resulted ia a Democratic victory in *
all of these States " c
And this is the "miik in the cocoa- 8

of the reason wn> the Republican 8

night and streogtb the Confederate
joldier aided by others accomplished
;he great result which I have mentioned?making
the South from a
naterixl standpoint many times richer
than she was with her slave chatties
hod all other evidences of wealth,
ost with the downfall of the Confederacy.
And so. Confederate Vetera dp, I
thick that your success in the paths of
peace is do less reDown than you won
in war, snd that your bearing and
rour manhood and your truthfulness
md integrity in piping times of
peace have lent additional lustre to
;he name crowning you upon a thousind
fields of carnage.
But what at last made you great in
ffar and greater still io peace?
It was your women! The women
)f the Confederacy! God bless them
md their names and their deeds
orevei!
Unaided and unsupported in the
lark hours of defeat, unchastened by
hem in their hcly ministration when
he heart grew sick with hope de!erred
and the mantle of di-pair had
;hut out from your stout hearts the
ast lingering spark of trust and conldence,
when your bleeding hands
rod gaping wounds spake responsive
:o your torn and bleeding feet, when
Datriotism itself had lost its power to
nvest you longer with love of country,
and lay supine and all but dead
in the agony of your surroundings,
who snatched your banner from the
3usf, cheering you on once again to
do and die, and aided and supported
you aud chastened you when she
came? Who was it that turned away
from the lighter things of earth, and
took up the burthens of the hospital
and camp while the bright eyes of
youth and beauty were yearning to
toy with joys of love and pleasure?
who soothed the wounded and dying,
red with the crimson current of battle,
and handled bloody wounds in
Kl-io $ flf.M-t fn fifrin t.hfl pbbincr tide of
lift? Who preached the Gospel of
Christ to you with the lips and heart,
while she was with her haDds girdiDg
ycu about with the weapons of war,
thus teaching yon bow to live and
r
and how to die for dear native land?
Ihe Greek mother told her son to
some back to her with his shield or
apon it. The Confederate mother
pent forward to the scene of carnage
tnd placed her gallant dead upon his
shield. She followed, she was in the
vake of his army wherever he fought,
vhether at Sbilob, or Missionary
X'dge, or Chicamaugs, or Spottsylrania,
or on the red lines of Petersburg,
fbe was there to take up her
>rave Confederate soldier and place
rim upon bis shield.
Afc! be is passing away, passing
iwa}! The bhring trumpet no more
ouses thousands and thousands of
hose who came home. Tbeydoreet
rom their Itbors with their comrades
if other days.
"No imre amid the storm of battl9
Shail their hearts ezhalting swell "
And it is even so with the Confederate
women. They are passing
iway, passing away. The places
rbich knew them will soon, too soon,
mow them no more forever.
Oar women have not forgotten
rou, however, and never will. It is
hey who have kept alive the campires
of love and devotion to a cause
vbich tempted men to die for it belause
it was the incarnation of right
,nd justice and truth.
And thu9 the Confederate women
itrives to perpetuate it, as you look
iround you and see these emblems
>f love and devotion and veneration.
Who is it that comes in memorial
jarb to lay with tender touch BDd
oving hearts these immortelles upon
hegiaveof deathless valoi? Who
juards the bivouac of the deathless
lean? Who has watched over and
jared fur the immortal remnant of
hat immortal host, and is ever lendDg
herself to the preservation of tie
>acred relics of the Lost Cause? Who
formed tfcewselves into societies
vhobe sole object is the protection of
he liviog veterans and ihe defence
if their sacred memoriet? Who
Linong all the women of the earth
lave erected monuments all over
heir land to commemorate the deeds
f a defeated soldiery, the downfall
if their nation? Woo but the women
)' the Suuth, a part of the Confed
erate Veteran?. What is that over ,
there within our sight standing guard
above this scent? There he stands
in unimpassioned marble representing
nothing but a lost cause, a holy
war, a righteous and just people wbo
fought to the death not for what they
believed to be right, but what they
knew then and know now to have
been ab-olutely right sud just.
I would not have you think me sacreligious
in the declaration, fori bow
my head in submission to the religion
of my inheritance, but as Christ
died for men, even so the Confederate
soldier died for liberty.

G?l. J. Q Mirshall, of Columbia
proposes to organize a joint slock
company with sufficient capital to
build a large resevoir at Piatt Spriogs 1
iu tbis county, and lay large mains
from there to Columbia to supply
that city with sn abundance of pure |
drinking water. These springs were
once a fashionable summer resort for
the planters of the adjacent country
as well as the people of Columbia
There was a large hotel there which
was well patronized, and several had
! cottages thereabounts. In those
days society was brilliant there.
Sometime ago a story went the
rounds of the press that Senator
McLaurin had lost all his wealth in
an unfortunate speculation in the
Mohawk Steel Go's., securities. It
now turns out that the ex-Senator
has not lost a penny of his money.
A special to the Savannah Press from
New York says, "that after several
conferences Senator McLaurin obtained
a check for the entire amount
in dispute and has left for his home.
And thus the episode ends pleasantly
for all concerned.
Pi of. Ir D. Hicks, fhe Wbell known
; weather prophet of St. Louis, cerI
tainly predicted a month in advance
the floods, tornadoes and cloud bursts 1
which have recently destroyed so
many lives and property. For proof
of this see Word and Works for
J une. |
Columbia must have pure wat*r |
and enough of it?Columbia State.
Come over in Lexington, neighbor, 1
and you can get an abundant supply
of the purest and best water on j
earth.
