FOR THE OLD SOLDIERS. ,\ i>i M-J11 for Munshlne for Those Who I Wore Uie <;n?y. Editor Keowee Courier: It ls a hurnlnK shanie that Oconee has no U. D. C. except ai denison, aud it ls composed of women of the whole So'.toland. Oconee can have wo men's clubs, D. A. R., foreign mission societies, card partie?, and every thing else except two very Important things-school Improvement clubs and U. D. C. We should honor and cheer our old soldiers. Our fathers are now old and stiff with pain brough' on by the hardships of four years ot .var. Think of a rail for a pillow, sleeping on the ground dur ing cold nights, eating bread with water! Shall we forgot them? Re meber, "be who forgets his noble an. cesto rs will achieve nothing worthy to be remembered by his remote de scendants." The saddest and sweetest time of my life was spent at Clemson Col lego on the 100th birthday o our grand Lee. Bofore me, on the stage, sat a few of those men who followod Loe, still wearing the gray, but gray of age. Behind me were the future citizens of the State. There I ?aw tho past and future meet. Will the past, with all its honors. Inspire the youn," to be men Uko Lee? No; not unless we tell them more of Lee and his men, and build monuments as milestones to Inspire them. That day Col. R. A. Thompson was the guest of honor. A boy, nearly ready to vote, asked why Col. Thompson was a guest of honor, and said he "was just a lawyer at Walhalla." Think of his record, and the children not knowing it! How many school children know that an Oconee man saved (?en. Hampton's life0 How many school children eui sing 'Dixie" or "Bonny Blue Flag?" How many children are taught to be kind to an old soldier? The roll will soon be called, and they will sleep with Lee and .lack son. When it is all over the dauglit ters will build monuments to soldiers who now are dying In paupers' homos. In August I was at the bedside of a dying soldier and he caught my ! hand and said: "You have done well for your county, but do hotter; go hack to Oconee and tell the teachers I made this request, that in every dis trict, on January lb th, Lee's birth day he wholly set apart for Confede rate day; that the people meet at the I school house, carry dinner, spend the day by talking and singing of tho old South." Teachers, hear your country's call, "To arms, to arms, to light for Dixie." While we are a united people wo must not forget our heroes. Now Thanksgiving Hay is here. Iii the paupers' home are two sol diers. Lot. each school begin now ? and collect funds, raise money to v furnish them a good room, comforta ble, clean bods, and don't let them ' be neglected. Not only these soldiers, but send a war post card of good ] cheer to all soldiers. A (lower to the living Is worth a car-load on his L grave. lt is said that a poor old soldier " died in a paupers' homo and was be ing cari 1 to a potters' Held in a % wagon. When the wagon passed a ( graded school the children were mart liing to tho tune of "Dixie." The I collin lid bu rated, and the old soldier r arose and cried. "Hurrah for the j South! - Lee, Stonewall and Hamp , ton!" Lying down again, he said, "Drive on, boy; I did my duty." So, my dear sisters, I have done my duty. 1 have asked you to make those last days of the soldier's life so he can pull the drapery of his couch ' around him and Ile down to sloop, and dream no moro of war, but peace, sweet peace.
