Lebby, of Charleston, as members r on said board representing the old | soldiers. [ * The next place for the reunion was left with Gen. Carwile. There was an interruption here with a message from the Sons of ' Veterans. This body bad appointed * a committee consisting of Messrs. Geo. Bell Timmerman of, Lexingtor; Wm. Weston, of Colombia, and Clinton M. Felder, of Barnwell. Mr. Timmerman was selected as their * spokesman and in a ringing address he told the veterans of the reverence held for them by the Sons. He brought from the United Sons of Confederate Veterans the felicitations ' of that order and wished to assure the veterans that their history would always be protected and the Sons would see that the glorious deeds of their fathers were properly recorded. * The Sons would eee that all of the history would be history." Gen. Car wile, replying for the veterans, said that if the Sous ever * needed the father while any of tbem \ were alive it would only be necessary to call on them. The veterans received this announcement with wild applause and three cheers. By Gen. Jas. W. Moore?Resolved, tThat the thanks of the South Carol lina division of United Confederate Veterans be tendered to the officials and citizens, and more especially to the ladies, of the city of Columbia for libe magnificent and boundless bos- , i pitablity shown us at the present reunion.

Gov. and Mrs. Heyward received the veterans at the mansion aod each was caiied by bis name and waa^iveu a hearty hand shake by tbe executive of the State. Out on tbe spacious lawn tables were presided over by members of | tbe Daughters of the Confederacy and ! thither tbe guests were biddeD. J Nothing stronger than lemonade was j served, for Gov. Heyward did net think that the occasion deserved that he should violate his rule of offering no strong drink on occasions of a general nature at tbe executive mansion. Before the jolly party broke up, Mr. Ahrens of Camden mounted a rustic seat and tendered to Gov. and Mrs. Heyward tbe thanks of the veterans. Tbe old soldiers demanded a speech of the governor, and he responded in a very happy manner. Gov. Heyward closed by saying that he would not again be able to meet the veterans in his capacity as governor at reunions, but be hoped to * *? ? _ j meet tnem somewcere again, ana then the veterans gave three cheers, and the "rebel yell" waa given with a right hearty good will for Gov. Heyward and Mrs. Heyward as the gueet3 were departing. The State in one of its notes referring to Thursday's exercises said: "The Lost Cause, as it is so often referred to, is not a Forgotten Cause. Deep down in the hearts of men, women and children of the Southland is the love for those men who fought so bravely for their firesides and who are now in Columbia, the guests of the city and State. It is Dot forgotteD, for as that charming daughter of the Coofedeiacy, Mrs. Elizabeth Lumpkin Glenn, said in her ringing address "we still love the old men whose gray le-Vs remind us that time is passing.'' It is not forgotten, for the children, fresh and bright and with their loDg lives before them, testified to their grandsires' memory ia a manner that caused the tears to stream down the faces of 5.000 people and brought out the old "Rebel yell" from the throats of the men who were hems' so honored. Monu u meats may show the revereace the people of South Carolina have for the gray but the exercises yesterday showed that it was not only reverence but iove that touched all hearts, young as well as old. And so Ihe veterans will go home with the knowledge that they will always bo remembered; that their bronze crosses will be passed down from generation to generation and that their glorious history will always be cherished and guarded " The camp scenes Friday night at the assembly tent were picture?que and attractive.

Items from Pond Branch. To the Editor of the Dispatch: Mr. Qaincy Shealy and wife of Barr, worshipped at PoDd Branch Sunday. A goodly number of our people attended the reunion in Columbia last week. Mr. Geo. W. Lewis was the only old veteran from this section to attend. He reports a good time. Hio Kawj rohn mnra fVin oror Ho nxaj mo vjj* K?J privileged to attend many more of these joyous occasions. Mr. and Mrs. Hutchie Taylor, of New Brookland, visited relatives here Saturday and Sunday. Mr. Lester Crout killed a fish eagle last week which measured 5 feet and 5 inches from tip to tip. Mr. Fred Crcut was at home a short while Sunday afternoon. He was accompanied by Messrs. David Hammond and Shepherd Lindler. Misses Beulah and Mattie George, of LexingtoD, after attending the Cbildrens' Day exercises, epent Saturday night with Miss Iva Crout. ? Toe umldrenb Day exercises oi the Pond Branch Sunday school Saturday were largely attended. The pupils did remarkably well singing and reciting. Hon. W. H. Sharpe's fluent speech on the theme, "It is Written," added much to the occasion. His advise to the youth was sound and wholesome. In the absence of the pastor, R=v. W. L. Hayes of the Baptist church, performed the clerical duties. We feel greatly indebted to those from the Lutheran church for their assistance. We must not close this brief account without mentioning our worthy superintendent, Mr. Geo. W. Smith, who has so successfully managed the school for the past ten years. The growth of the Sunday school during his adminis tration bss been very marked?growing from a mere handful to a hundred or more. We truly hope that be will yet be granted many more years of usefulness to the school. W9 trust that many lessons of importance have been learned and that 1 these will be inductive of sending forth more laborers into the field, "for the harvest truly is great, but the laborers ere few."

Despite all gloomy prophecies to the contrary, the people of the island have in that time established a stable government, insured order, established prosperity, and are todav eriivinL' "life, liberty and the pursuit; of happiness." Yet if the experiment had not been made, how many there would now be to eay, as they say of the Philippines, j that the country is not yet "ready" for independence. As a matter of fact do country is ready for the task of self government until that task has been imposed upon it. Then, like a man upon whom responsibility is suddenly thrust, it seriously takes to the business of meeting the burden that is upon it. The experience of Cuba is a sufficient answer to all those that would noetnone the free- i r r dom of a people for "at least another generation," aa Mr. Taft has said of the Philippines.?The State.

Please permit me through your paper to rectify an iLjustice done Dr. E J. Etheredge at the county convention. I made a statement on the floor of the convention after election of county chairman to the effect that there was an understanding between Dr. Etheredge and the antidispensary element of the convention to run him for county chairman. The statement was based on appearances | transpiring then on the floor. Since then I have examined these matters nn/3 fin/1 tViam hnvo hpon rlPP.onfci UUU ULUU lUVUl vw MM v v .. . ,T consequently my inference incorreot and my statement wrong. I take much pleasure in making this statement because first I am glad to know it is not true, and second I have every reason to believe Dr. Etheredge is unconditionally in favor of the | State dispensary.
