Editor Keowee Courier: It was my intention to deliver the following as a speech before the survivors of Orr's Immortal regiment last Satur day at Walhalla, but as I did not have an opportunity to do so I will ask you to publish same that they may read it: The Kennion. We have met to-day, my friends, not to perpetuate triumph*, hate or civic discord, or to stir afresh the fierce passions that once filled the breast of every true Southern man, but simply to pay a tribute to the chivalry and courage of the Confede rate soldier. 1 am glad to bo here to-day and look Into the faces of these bullet-scarred veterans, upon whose heads tho snow that never melts has fallen. I see men here to-day who charged up the rocky sides of Gettysburg and imprinted on the cold, plttiless stones there, in letters of blood, their chiv alry and their courage-men who quailed not at the destruction of An tietam. There is nothing of an earth ly nature that gets so close to my heart and soul as the tender associa tions that cluster about the Confede rate Cause and her Hag. Her sol diers were the most wonderful men that ever lived, upon whom the Lord God Almighty laid the sword of His eternal knighthood. They made a fight that echoed around the world, and this continent was shaken to Its foundation. The very throne of Eng land was made to quake and trem ble. The Confederate soldier is unique, having filled a place In history no other body of men ever filled. The armies under which Alexander con quered the world, the army which followed Caesar across the Rubicon, and that which Napoleon led across the Alps, filled no such place In his tory as did the soldiers of the "six ties." They marched, watched and fought as no other men, with their old slouched hats, their jackets torn, trousers rent, their blankets In shreds and their haversacks empty, often pressing the ice and snow with their hare and bleeding feet, fighting to the last ditch and to the death; ? and thousands were wrapped In the I winding-sheet of a nation's love anrl laid to robt in their gory, beds. No monument io '?^iJfcjAJie; r resting place but the fiillWPWu'S .vontl?els of the pialba; no Howers to deck their graves but tho stars, the touch-me nots of the angels; no tears were shed but the showers from the sky; no prayers in their last moments but the sighing of the winds through the pines. But with angels and arch angels and all the company of heaven their BP i ri ts went to the great be yond. The Confederate soldiers were as grand In defeat as they were In vic tory; they obeyed to the letter the last and noblest command of their mighty chieftain, to "Go home and rebuild your devastated land, and take care of the women and chil dren"; and at Appomattox, on the 9th of April, 1865, those men who had fought with a patriotic fury. But lered privations unequaled, met the Issue, and with sad hearts and wet eyes they laid down the musket for the hoe, the saber for the plow, the sword for the per. and revived. They have oi>ened up the mines that the South may pour forth her hidden treasures of coal and iron, copper and lead, gold and silver, zinc, phosphate and oil; they have built cities, fae tories, churches and school houses. The South went to the war pun and returned pure and exalted; sh? was not ashamed to own her cause her deeds and her sacrifices. Sin waa proud In her defeat, and humbh only before her God. No countr; ever rose so fair or fell so pure o crime! Who can say these veteran: before us to-day were soldiers of for tune or soldiers of adventure? No one! The Confederate soldiers wen glorious, they were grand in ihelr ef forts for a noble principle, that wa nurtured In the pure soil of a South ern heart and blossomed under tin bullet showers of a battlefield. Thes< were men-tho full measure am stature of perfect mon, born to mee any situation contrary to Lincoln' philosophy. I honor tho Confederate soldiers Qed bless them, dead or alive; honor them for their patriotism an courage displayed on the battlefield! but I doubly honor them for the wa they conducted themselves after th war, when bitterness and strife pre vailed, when reconstruction hun like a pall over this fair, prostrat land; when black feet were on whit necks, and when we were disfrai chtsed and denied the rights of cit zenshlp In our own land. These sam men, the Confederate solders, stoo it with a patient and moral courag that was almost sublime, until foi bea rance ceased to be a virtue, whe every man, from the mountains t ? the sea, arose as one man and said, In the language of the old Scotch man, "My name ls McGregor, and this ls my uatlve heath; this is a white man's country, and by the eter nal God we will rule or we will die." Then it was that black heels were thrown off white necks, and, thank God, from thou until to-day the white dove has spread her silver wings over this fair Southern land, proclaiming "Peace on earth, good will to men." The Anglo-Saxon was not born to wear a yoke, but to govern, to be free, to create, to build a social and political structure mighty and mas terful; and when at last war was de clared against Spain for the libera tion of Cuba, the hour had come, and the South, true to her history, hal lowed by the memory of her heroes, and regenerated by the blessing of peace, gave her sons freely to up hold the honor and defend the flag of a reunited country. When the North sent her Dewey into the Bay of Manilla, the South sent her .lob son into the harbor of Santiago; when the North gave her Roosevelt with his Rough-Riders. the South gave her "Fighting Joe" Wheeler, with his rebel record and his daunt less courage, to win the light at San tiago; when the North gave her Ad miral Sampson (ten miles away when tho Hist gun was fired), the South gave her Admiral Sc.hley, in the thick of the fight, capturing the en tire Spanish fleet; for the strains of "Yankee Doodle" we gave them the inspiration of "Dixie" and "The Mocking Bird," and, side oy side, the ?ons of the men who fought under Lee and Grant, with equal courage and equal glory, marched on to na tional victory. And now these old veterans still living, who have been buffeted by the storms and conflicts of life, feel the need of a supporting hand. In their declining years may they en joy the bright sunshine cf peace and contentment, and when they have fought their last battle, and have laid .heir armor down, may they meet their Pilot face to face at the cross ing, and have a Christian's triumph in death and a safe deliverance across to the other shore, where they will be forever with the Lord.

Magnesite is a mineral which is over 52 per cent carbon dioxide, the gas which is used for charging soda water, ginger ale and similar bever ages.. By far the greater part of the magnesite occurring in the United States is found in California, accord ing to the United States Geological Survey, while reports have also been received of deposits In Nevada, Ari zona, and Western Texas. A number of these deposits, especially in Cali fornia, are of considerable size and yield magnesite of excellent quality, which is probably excelled by few, if any, of the foreign deposits, and which ls superior in purity to much of that mined abroad. Bulletin 355 o the United States Geological Survey, entitled "Magne site Deposits of California," was based on field examinations of the California deposits made in 1905 and during the winter of 1906-7. This bulletin is still available, but since its publication new deposits have been opened, consumption has In creased, and Inquiries constantly ho ing received at the survey for infor mation relating to the occurrence and utilization of tbl?? material have led I to the publication of Bulletin 540-S, entitled "Late Developments of Mag nesite in California and Nevada." Conditions governing the produc tion and consumption of domestic magnesite have not changed in any marked degree in recent yeais. Tho presence of many good deposits of i this material in California must con tinue to furnish the impetus which will tend to put our own production on the market as soon as natural conditions will allow. At present by far the largest part of the magnesite used in the United States is import ed and is consumed in the Eastern States, the importations being about 20 times the domestic production and ranging from 100,000 to 150,000 tons a year. Considerable interest In the do mestic production of magnesite has been aroused of late in anticipation of the possible advantage that may accrue with the opening of the Pan ama Canal, In the hope that this new route may enable California pro ducers to reach the eastern port? at sufficiently low freight rates as to al low them to place their product on the Eastern market. Bulletins 355 and 540-S are be lieved to describe all the commer cial important magnesite deposits in the West. Copies of these reports may be obtained free on application to the Director of the Survey at Washington, D. C. E LE?TRir THE BEST FOB ?5!?? BILIOUSNESS BITTERS AND KIDNEYS Young Woman Takes Life.
