The Lexington Dispatch, LEXINGTON, S. 0.. G. M. Harman, Editor and Publisher. Circulation, 1,793. Wednesday, July 20, 1904. Reunion at Leesville. The reunion of ibe Confederate VeteraDB at Letbville, on July 15, was an occasion of much rejoicing as well as of sad recollections when memory's fingers turned back the pages of the past to the days that have gone but which can never be forgotten, and by the hour of 10 there were gathered together about , 3,000 Veterans, including their wives, -?-ma j t*. ),? couureu aim inruuo. xv ? rom those who ought to know whereof they speak that it was the largest crowd ever gathered in Leesville. The line of march was formed at 10 a. m. in front of the Shealy old house. At this place sweet maidens and gallant youths formed in line leading the grey and grizzled Veterans in their march, [to tha strains of martial music from the Lewiedale brass band] to the College auditorium where the ceremonies were to take place.. This place was tastefully and elaborately decorated with dags and buntingB. About 300 Veterans from this and edjoining counties were in the nrocession which took up its march to the College chapel. This place was filled to its utmost capacity and many could cot find standing room. Captain A. P. West was the officer of the day and consequently the master of ceremonies. Capt. West is himself a gallant soldier of the Confederate army, and gave the best years of his young manhood to the service of his country. During his remarks he eloquently and pathetically referred to this reunion as being the second time Leesville has thrown wide open her gates and invited the "gray clad boys" to enter and partake of the unbounded hospitality. His touching reference to the thinning ranks of the boys who made the (Jonfederacy glorious with deeds of valor, unsurpassed by any other nation on i earth, brought tears to the eyes of j some of his hearers. Comrade W. D. Quick, ua Veteran soldier of the Cross," earnestly envoked the divine blessing upon the ceremonies of the occasion. Then the soul inspiring strains of "America Tis of Thee Sweet Land of Liberty" raDg out from the throats of numerous children. This was one of the features oM the occasion and the "tender buds of promise" made a great hit. At the conclusion of this song. Dr. D M. Crosson, Major of the progressive town of Leesville, in a beautiful and eloquent address, delivered the keys of the town to Col. M^D Harman, Commandant of Camp Steadman. He said that be felt proud on account of the second time in the history of the town being called upon to assure the Veterans a hearty wel? a * a 1 . !i come ana an unoounaea nospitamy. "You W6re not traitors," feelingly exclaimed the eloquent speaker, "nor rebels or cowards, but heroes, noblemen and patriots." He then reviewed the history of the proud old Palmetto State and the part that her sons took in making that history glorious. By request a copy o? this speech has been furnished us for publication and will appear next week. In responding to this address of welcome, Colonel Marion D. Harman said that it filled his heart with joy sad gladness to have the honor of appearing before such a large, refined1 and cultured audience and to thank the people of Leesville for ibeir tindnees ana lovmg atten- i tion to the surviving comrades of a one? proud and chivalrous army. He but voiced the sentiments of his comrades when be said that he appreciated their eourteous invitation to meet in Leesville. He assured | the Leesville people that the old j soldiers appreciated the elaborate j programme arranged for their enter- ' tainraent and enjoyment, the sweet j music so sweetly rendered, and the lovely songs by the dear little children. The cornet solo with piano accompaniment was sweetly rendered by Kev. Mr Justice and Mrs. Dr. Efird I and greatly eDjoyed by those present. It was certainly fine. Dr. W. H. Timmerman responded to the address of welcome on behalf of the committee in a brief but feeling speech. It was a tender touching scene to see these old soldiers now with forms bent by the weight of years, cheeks furrowed and ploughed by the finger of time and whose tottering footsteps tread the pathway to the yawning grave, congregated together on mis joyous reumou, going over in imagination the battles they fought and the sufferings they endured for their country's honor in the long ago. The recitatioD, "Furl the Banner" by Miss Ruth Able was pathetically rendered, and touched the memories of the past as did also "Music in Camp" by Miss Alba Haynes. The address of the orator of the day, Col. John P. Thomas, of Columbia, was a masterly effort. Col. Thomas is a scholarly gentleman, and j a finished orator and on this occasion he surpassed himself and held his j large audience spellbound with his burning eloquence. Ctl U R. Brooks, in making excuse for the absence of Governor Heyward, who was on the programme for an address to the Sons of Veterans, paid a high compliment to the old soldiers and the children and the people of Leesville, and introduced Misa Elizabeth Lumpkin, as the "Veteran's Favorite Spokes? x 1_:_ _ _:ft woman. jjllihs uuuip&iu is u giited lady, whose every movement denotes grace, culture and eloquence and has the rare power of swaying and moving her audience byimprescing her individuality upon her hearers. She is greatly beloved by the old Veterans throughout the State. Her theme was the Women of the South, in the days of war and in the times of peace. She graphically described the part women took in the war, the suffering and the hardships she underwent to encourage her loved ones in their struggle for constitutional liberty and for the perpetuation of the time honored institutions of the fair Southland. The war cost the lives cf thousands of brave men, the destruction of property, suffering to the men and women cf this country and seme now call it "the little difficulty," but God knows it was not a "little difficulty," but a fiorce and bitter struggle for principle and home and country. She paid a glowing tribute to the bravery and heroism of the Confederate soldier and closed with an earnest appeal to the men of the South to uphold white supremacy at any qrynfA Knt frhen if thov failor? fn rlo eo God knew that the women of the South would. The "Bonnie Blue Flag," was feelingly rendered by a choir of sweet voiced children waving flags, then came the sad but beautiful recitation by Miss Annie Crouch, "The Sentinel is cff Duty Forever," and the ceremonies were closed with that hymn "God be with you till we meet again." The dinner was well prepared, and was enjoyed by all. The people of the town of Lees, ville did everything possible to make the day a pleasant occasion for the battle scarred Veterans and their friends and everything passed off as pleasantly and as joyfully as the chimes of harmonious wedding bells. In the afternoon Col. George Bell Timmerman made a fine address in behalf of the Sons of Veterans, which was received with great enthusiasm, and about 4 p. m. the meeting broke. The Lewiedale Brass Band furnished the music for the occasion and it was enjoyed by all. The game of base ball between LeeBville and Lexington resulted in favor of Lee&ville by the game being called in the eighth inning. The Lexington Brass Band accompained the ball team and rendered soul stirring strains at the park and in the evening on the streets which was enjoyed by the Leesville people. We were glad that it was our good fortune to be present and participate 1 in the festivities of the day. The | people of Leesville certainly deserve praise for the manner in which they entertained the old soldiers and they have wound themselves in the heart strings of the boys who wore the Grey that the growing tooth of time can never sever. 28 Army Generals The Inventor Brigadier-General King of Confederate ' Army, Writes: "I unhesitatingly state that I ! am convinced Peruna is a medicine that will effect all the cures that is claimed for its use."?J.
