. COMRADES OF THE OLD * ? GUARD, ATTENTION ! ? The r?union of the Confederate veterans will be held in Greenville in August. And Greenville invites every one of these gray-headed fel lows from the mountains to the Bea to be present. They want to see agaiu the men who followed Lee, Jackson, Longstreet, Forrest and Morgan. This alone will clothe you with fadeless renowu. The air will be lade*' with benedictions for you. Every countenance will be full of pleasure at your presence; the elec tric currents will whisper to you kindliest greetings;, and with one acclaim nature and man will bid you truest welcome. They may not know you ore a part of that superb host who wore the grey. And, then, you will greatly enjoy being ,there. You will see men there who1 made history at Shiloh, who charged up Malvern Hill, who swept along the valley of the Chlckamauga, who defended Atlanta in the matchless contest of eighty days; and who, at Franklin- that terrible and awful ho'.ocause-here ' you will .see men who quailed not at the destruction of Antietam, who held the Angle at ! Cold Harbor, who marched with Jackson ?round Chancellorsville,who I eh?rged up the rocky sides of Cettya- | burg. You will see men there who refused to advance until the Immor tal Lee rode a ?way from danger at the Wilderness, and then, with a wild and resistless dash, drove the enemy frdm the field. Men will be there who stood at the Petersburg Crater, and yielded at Appomattox because they were overpowered, but their unconquerable wills could not be destroyed. There will be those who wore re nown at Ked River, Baton Rouge, Corinth, Springfield and Elkhorn. What magnificent memories we in voke and what chivalrous records we recall, what superb pageB of hu man history we read over again in "these magic words, which uplift Sou thern courage and magnify Ameri can manhood! The South fought four years, but these four years contain the grand est and most sublime pages of our republic's history. Blot out these and all they mean, and they leave blank the proudest memories of a great nation. From defeat we won imperishable renown. Losing, we have crowned our dead nailon, Its heroes and Its living people, with a glorious im mortality. Wonderfully illustrious record! There are no stains on Hie Southern shield. Confederate men and women did all they could do. They were defeated, not because they were wrong or unfaithful in any re spect whatever, but because an over ruling Providence decreed their <,ow niall In the solution of a divide policy for the government of the world, into which human ken cannot pierce or venture. But this does not dim the splendor of their heroism, in the glory of their patriotism, or the grandeur 01 their sacrifice, i A short while ago we looked at a Confederate monument, tall and beautiful. It has upon lt only three words, "Our Confederate Dead." Let us ever keep them fresh upon the pages o.* memory. There are thousands of them. Many sleep In unknown graves, but they are ours. These dead came from homes Jn Florida, where the roses never fade and the flowers never cease to bloom; from the mountains and bills of Georgia, who are patriotic and true; from North und South Car olina, where the mingling of the rich blood of the Huguenot and the An glo-Saxon creates a knightly man hood worthy of every call which duty makes: and fnom Virginia, whose soil drank so much blood of her precious dead, whose sons por trayed a valor and chivalry worthy of the cavaliers from whom they sprang. They are dead, but their intrepidity, constancy and fearless ness, will forever shine on the es cutcheon of their Commonwealth With a brilliancy and glory which no future can pale and no consecration surpass. Last, but not least, comrades, you will see women of the South who passed through the desrtuclion and horrors of war and military inva sion; from whose pure and tender bosoms no word of complaint ever arose; who made truest, grandest and noblest offerings for the South; who did lt without question, who did it without regret, and whose loy alty and devotion to the Southern cause will ever stand out in history as the most beautiful example of womanly courage, womanly patience, and womanly self-sacrifice Who bade us go, with amiling tears, Watched, cheered, then wept and prayed. And the Daughters of the Confede. racy-God bless them every one! - these sepulchers they guard with ceaseless care, and wreathe the graves with the only crowns that they can bring-their flowers, their tears, their prayers, their praise and their love. This they do without sword or flag, and with soundless tread. We will give you Roosevelt's trib ute to Lee: "The world has never seen better soldiers than those who followed Lee, and their lender will - undoubtedly rank, without any ex ception, as the greatest of all the great captains that the Engllsh 8peaklng people have brought forth; and he can claim to stand na the full equal of Marlboro or Wellington." J. Russell Wright. Walhalla, S. C. <;. lt. Durnans Testifies After Four Years. G. B. Burhans, of Carlisle Center, N. Y., writes: "About four years ago I wrote you stating that I had been entirely cured of a severe kidney trouble by taking lesa than two jot tles of Foley's Kidney Cure. It en tirely stopped the brick-dust sedi ment, and pain and symptoms of kidney disease disappeared. I am glad to say that I have never had a return of any of those symptoms during the four years that have elapsed, and I am evidently cured to Btay cured, and heartily recommend Foley's Kidney Cure to any one suf fering from kidney or bladder trou ble."

Comuna, Spain, June 25.-The lat est reports show that 85 persons are missing as the result of the sinking of the steamship Larache. The res cued number 65. The captain sank with the ship. Mo?t of the passengers on the Larache were r?sidents of Argentina Rep?blica. The Larache was little more than an old tub and proved a veritable death trap when she struck on the rocks near Muros. She sank in a'few minutes, leaving the pas sengers and crew struggling in the water. The small boats on the Lara che were either smashed or capsized. Fishing imats in the neighborhood rushed to the. .rescue, but a heavy fog seriously interfered with their work. The fishermen succeeded In rescuing 65 persons. in addition to the captain, the ship's doctor and first officer were drowned. The disaster occurred at 5 o'clock in the morning and the most of those saved are without clething. It ls feared that all of the 85 missing were drowued. It bas been ascertained that the number of passengers and crew of the Larache totaled one hundred and fifty. Sixty-five persons are known to have been saved, but the fate of the other 85 ls not known, and it ls feared that most of them perished.

Oklahoma Still Holding Attractions for Home Seekers and Others. ! Washington, June 25.-Special: A number of exceptional opportuni ties are now being offered by the Government for enterprising and In telligent farmers to secure choice t';inns on a dozen or more large irri- : gatton projects which are nearing completion. Owlug to the rapid narrowing of j the limits of the unoccupied public domain, it is doubtful If these oppor- j t unit les will ever occur again. It is, j probable, therefore, that the West Will Bee one of the greatest influxes Of homeseekers In 1008 that ha? . been witnessed in many years. The great fertility and wonderful j ?crop yields from irrigated lands, and the favorable terms the Government Offers settlers, warrants the belief that before the year closes not a sin gle farm will be without Its entry man. These farms are located in North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming and Nevada. A letter addressed to The Statisti cian, U. 8. Reclamation Service, Washington, D. C., will secure full Information concerning the location, soil, climate, crop possibilities and terms of disposal. Quirk Relief for Asthma Sufferers?

One hag, containing about two bushels, will make seven gallons of as vile stuff as ever went down a man's throat. It is retailed at $3 a gallon, and it can be seen what a nice profit Is made. A little potash is added to make the stuff "bead" and you have something that will knock the dust out of your throat, also take the skin off wher* ever lt touches.

A farmer in Ohio wrote to the De partment of Agriculture that he had struggled for twenty years on an eighty-acre farm, heavily mortga ged, but had been unable to reduce his debt or rise above,poverty that made the bringing up of his family a humiliation. He asked if there was any hope for him upon the farm, or if he might as well give up the fight. The department requested that he make a detailed report of his farra and Its soils, and upon this lt. based a plan of farming which he was rec ommended to follow to the letter. There was a profit the first year of $2,000, and the department believes that ultimately the despised eighty acres can be made to yield $5,000 a year.
