COLUMBIA VIEWS THE HEROES. . -. I Annual Parade Was Great Success, i Many Veterans Marched. (Tho State, 24th.) Half a hundred years ago an army | of 600,000 young men of tho South left their homes and marched away j to the battleflields of tho war. Yes- j terday the remnants of South Caro-; lina's portion of that army marched ! through tho Btreets of Columbia, a thin line of faded colors and falter ing stepB. Only three squares they went, for the men are all old now and many are lame, but thoso three squares were thronged with people, who cheered and waved Confederate flags and expressed thereby their un abating loyalty and devotion. The parade was made Impressive by several distinctive features, one be ing the absence of any mounted of ficers and officials. Everybody was "afoot" from the highest to the humblest. Another Impressive feat ure of tho march was the presence there, among tho "battle scarred heroes," of the fair young daughters of tho South-the sponsors acting as escort of hoonr to the veterans. The parade formed at the capitol and moved up Malu street shortly after 6 o'clock. The Columbia Con cert band, playing "Dixie," led the way, and two of the local military I companies, the Richland Volunteers and tho Governor's Guard, preceded the Uno of veterans. At tho bead of these marched Gen. U. lt. Brooks, commander of tho First brigade, ll. C. V., and chief marshal of the occasion, escorted by representatives of two generations of Southern womanhood-the sponsor for his brigade, Miss Lotta Groeschel of Chester, wearing red ribbons on ber white gown, and Mrs. Angus Brown of this city, a devoted woman of the Confederacy, who deems herself honored in that she bears a wound 1 of tho war. Gen. B. H. Teague, commander of' the South Carolina division, came] next, accompanied by his staff, all wearing their gray uniforms, and they were followed by Gen. Creech, of the Second brigade, and bis staff, by tho division and regimental sponsors and maids of honor, with a number of the members of the Wade Hampton and 'M. C. Butler chapters, Daughters of K.he Con federacy. The Soldiers1 Home. The. next section of tho line formed a touching feature, com posed as lt was of the 80 old veterans of the soldiers' home, who wore the gray and stepped along, justly proud. Tho historic old cannon, which is a prized possession of "the home," rolled along at their head, drawn by two white mules, and on Its caisson rode three very old men-the beni and bowed re mains of strong yoting Confederate artillerymen. They waved the Confederate Hags, and unconsciously presented a touching, pathetic g rou p. following them the body of v?t ?ran? marched-ROO being in line , -and representing most of tho camps of South Carolina and quite a number from visiting States. Many a crutch or wooden log, and many a vacant sleeve test!fled to having helped "pay for a battle, nobly lost," or for a victory dearly bought-and bowed forms and silvered hair Impressed the passing of half a hundred yoars-awaking both pity and pride In the hearts of those who looked on. Sons of Veterans. The Sons of Veterans followed the Old soldiers, and with them marched their sponsors and maids of honor. The Brookland Light Infantry, Capt. Shill] In command, constituted tho rear guard. The Uno of march extended from the Capitol to Hamp ton street and return. Gen. Walker, commander-in-chief of tho United Confederate Veterans, and members of his staff, viewed the parado from a stand erected at tho Intersec tion of Main and Lady streets. Tho columns disbanded at tho city hall, after having encircled the Con federate monument. The people packed the sidewalks and tho Streets, Ulled the windows and bal conies of buildings along the Uno of march, and made use of tho Capitol steps as an ideal reviewing stand. Col. Brooks, chief marshal, was widely congratulated upon the suc cess Of tilla notable feature of the reunion, upon which he has been working indefatigably. The parade was tho Utting finale to the program of two days, in which more than 2,000 old soldiers of the South participated. Veterans' Protest.

(Continued from Page Six.) very composed under the circum stances." Three women spectators who had been sitting in the rear of the room, unnoticed, were asked to leave as the doctor continued his testimony. Defense Overruled. Chesterfield, Va., Aug. 25.-The defense In the Beattie trial met with two set backs at tho opening of court here to-day. Judge Watson quickly overruled a motion to exclude the "Dear Kid" letters, written by Beat tie to Beulah Binford and introduced yesterday. Court convened at. 10.B 0. The crowd was even larger than yester day and hundreds gathered about the yard to catch a glimpse of Paul Beat tie, the Common wealth's chief wit ness. Before any witnesses were called, H. M. Smith, Jr., for the defense ob jected to tho introduction yesterday of Beat Ho's letter to Beulah Binford, Identified by the prisoner at the cor oner's inquest. As Beattie at that time was not under arrest tho de fense cited a ruling barring tho use at trial of testimony not in tho de fendant's own behalf and given by him while a witness previously. Not withstanding Mr. Smith's argument, the court ruled that tho letter should not be excluded. HUI Carter for tho defense then took up the point that the Indictment against Beattie refers to the wound in Louise Beattlo's face, rather than to tho skull or brain and that all testimony relating to a wound other than in the face should bo excluded. The court held that Inasmuch as the indictment specified penetration of tho face thoro was no ground for sustaining the defense's contention.
