maDder of the Second Brigade, South
Carolina Division, Doited Sons of
Confederate Veterans at the State re- i
union of 1904, held in Charleston, SC,
1 hereby assume command of this
Brigade. Brigade headquarters are
hereby established at Lexington, S C.
The following staff appointments are
hereby made, and will be obeyed and
respected: Brigade Adjutant and
Chief of Staff, Alfred J. Fox, Lexington,
S. C.; Brigade Inspector, Julian
B. Salley, Aikeo, S. C.; Brigade
Quartermaster, Isaac Hough, Camden,
S. C ; Brigade Commissary, W.
S. Cogburn, Edgefield, S. C.; Brig
ade Judge Advocate, A. C. DePaas,

Shealy, Leesville, S. C.
In assuming the responsible position
of Commander of this Brigade, i
I do it with a full appreciation of the j
duties and responsibilities incident i
thereto, and it shall be my purpose
to measure up to all that shall be required
of me.
As sons of as brave soldiers as ever
figured in any war, we should lend
our influence and attention to perfecting
the organization of which we
are members. In doing that we
give them the assurance which is
their right we, their sons, are not
unmindful of the blest heritage they
have left us. We show to them that
we are determined that the record of
their gallant fight for principle shall
be correctly made, and that we will
not tolerate in our homes and schools
books that do not give the Confederate
soldier his due. This and
more is the work of the Sons of
Confederate Veterans.
I, therefore, appeal to every son of
a Confederate veteran to identify
himself with the Sons organization.
South Carolina has not taken the
prominent part in the Sons organization
that some other States have, but
it cannot be said ^that her soldiers
did not take as brave a stand for the
principles of the Confederacy as any
State that furnished soldiers in that
cause. Then let it not be said any
longer tfcat we are lagging m mis
noble woik. Let cur father's record
be cur incentive to renewed effort.

Speaker Seed's Obituary View.
^CjI. Pete," Hepburn, cf Iowa, ib
fond of filing bow during his early
days in Congress he once had occasion
to consult Mr. Used, then speaker,
with a view to obtaining Reed's
advice as to a eulogy on a deceased
colleague which Col. Hepburn had
been selected to deliver. ''Give me
a general idea as to what I shall say."
said the inexperienced Hepburn.
"Say anything except the truth," responded
Reed. "Its customary."

Andrew Harvard, infant eon of H.

June 11, 1903 and died July 17,1904.
Age 1 year, 1 month and G days.
Dear parents, weep not for your
precious little one for in heaveD, i ae
heme of the sanctified, he sing3 the i
glad song of redemption in the glor- !
ious presence of Jesus his Saviour, i
Mr. and Mrs. Meelze have the
profound sympathy of their commun- |
itv ia thf ir sad bereavement.
"But what is of supreme comfort is i
that the heavenly Father sustains by i
His grace the &l!l;cted father and ;
mother and the three dear little
sisters that survive the departed
babe.
The sweet assurance ia also theirs
that they have a treasure in heaven?
a treasure infinitely better than any
earthly good?for the bouI ransomed
?Hi??^?
by the blood of the Lamb, and shel- 1
tered in the bright mansions of the
heavenly Father's house ie immortal
and forever safe and forever blest
In that beautiful place He is gone
to prepare for all who are washed
and forgiven. And many dear children
are gathering there, "For such

"Old Specs" Heard From.
Dear "Josh:"
Fearing that my old friends in
Lexington may think I have taken a
back seat and given up "keeping up
with the band," I herewith hand you
evidence of tbe fact that I still have
my being and hope to join the dwellers
in the millenum. As politics,
posBums and persimmons are nearly
ripe, and having formed the habit of
^mixing up" with politics in old Lexington
"I just can'c shake it off." ,
I suppose you have read the platforms
of the Democratic and Repub- (
lican parties as formulated in this ,
year of Republican prosperity, 1904.
arm vr?n like fchfi Writer. TGffard I
""f" J ^ ~ 7 r a I
these declarations of principles and
pledges as empty declarations to be
wholly ignored if subsequent circumstances
for campaign purpose will .
warrant it.
The rose colored lights of the ,
I Republican platform presents to our
j enraptured vision a rose godness in- j
carnate adapted to the views of our
President, "a blooming warm earth
| angel fair as Aurora in her rose col- |
ored chariot at the breath of dawn." I
Bnt our President is a mortal man
with every fragment and fibre of his
soul, body and possession, every
cellular, vascular and muscular tissue
somewhat resembling cur own, alike 1
us in many ways, yet unlike us in
many othere, maybe to our discredit, 1
and yet, witball as Thomas Garlyle 1
will have us among the "feeblest of ^
bipeds" who stand upon a bases at (
most for the flattest soled, some half 1
a square foot, insecurely enough, he
has to straddle out his legs lest the (
vary winds supplant him. "The '
steer of the meadow tosses him aioft 1
like a waste rag." Nevertheless he
is the greatest of all created things.
Aninscruitable mystery of mysteries, (
yet mindful of the "Mutual admi- '
' ? < - - J {
ration iraterniiy as ouinnea in
the Republican platform, we must
regard bim?rightly perhaps?as 1
measuring up to the standard of the
great men that are and have been.
The platform of the Rapubiican
party affirms that the party's administration
of national affairs is wholly
and solely creative of the agricultural,
industrial and financial prosperity
of the last eight years and
boastingly asserts that "We have
every right to congratulate oureelves t
on cur wonderful achievements."
Ic has done everything that could be <
done, and left undone nothing. 1
As per the platform, I give a par- 1
tial inventory: Arresting the extension
of human slavery; the Dingly <
tariff; the gold standard which eB- 1
tabliehed and raised the public credit I
which had "fallen so low;" the vanquishing
of Spain; liberating the J
Cubans, establishing an effective {
government at Port Rice; suppress- 1
f ka in onrro/ttinn in tho Phllin. I I

pines; relief of the legations afcPekin 1
duriDg the Boxer insurrection; pee- *
session of the route for the Isthmian I
canal; regulating (?) the trusts; constructing
a world conquering (?)
navy; upholding (?) the civil service
laws, etc ; all good measures (?) with
out any special benefit to our home
institutions and individual enterprises.
The Republicans assert in
their platform that "under the Dingly
tariff, labor has been fully employed,
i wages has risen and all industries
I ?
! have revived and prospered." If so,
! how is it that the Pennsylvania
railroad has reduced tbs employees
to the number of 30,000, and the
Baldwia works, 0,000? Is there any
howling prosperity in thai? But
why make further citation? No
strikes, no lockouts, none are untwimployed,
all is elyaium under a Republican
administration, and univer

convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder
are out of order.
What to Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's SwampRoot,
the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. It corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to go often
duriner the day, and to eet ud many times
during the night. The~mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases.
If you need a medicine you should have the
best. Soid by druggists in50c. and$l. sizes.

wonderful discovery

reading this generous offer in this papersal
brotherhood of contentment and
plenty.
Should the "grand old party"' continue
its administration four years
more if we are doomed to such en
affliction, we expect and demand the
creation of a new world to which we
hop9 they wilt migrate. They are
too great and good to remain longer
among their ''passive, now active,
incompetent" Democratic brothers.
What of the Democratic platform?
To one, at least, it is a sincere declaration
cf principles. No self adulation,
no traffic in political tafiey.
It is simplicity itself, genuinely so.
