ANNUAL RFA7N10N OF ORR'S MEN
Session a? Westminster Pleasant One.
At. Senora Next-Proceedings.
(Tugaloo Tribune Aug. 24.)
The 43d annual reunion of the sur
vivors ot Orr's Regiment was held
in Westminster last Thursday and
Friday, August 1 !) ami 20. Our
town was glad to have the old sold
iers, and we believe they enjoyed
their stay among us. They began ar
riving on train No. 20 Thursday and
continued lo come until Friday morn
ing. The majority ol' the survivors
resido in Oconee and Anderson coun
ties and some from Hie adjoining
counties on the Georgia side. There
'were quite a number of survivors of
oilier regiments, and these swelled
the attendance to 75 or more. They
manifested a deep interest in each
other and evidently enjoyed them
selves as they mixed and mingled.
There was pointy of room hero for
many more, as homes had been pro
vided for more titan a hundred
guests.
The veterans were mel at the train
by Misses Jodie Haley, Mattie Mc
Clanahan and Marie Hall, of the 17.
H. C., who pinned on badges, enroll
ed their names and directed them to
the homes in which they were to he
entertained. Westminster Hank
tendered the soldiers and visitors the
use of their directors' room, where
headquarters were made. ll was
raining both days. Otherwise West
minster would have contributed
more toward tho pleasure and enjoy
ment nf the veterans. On account of
ibo condition of the roads and the In
clemency of tim weather, no outing,
such as auto riding, could ne tender
ed the visitors while in our midst.
Opening Session.
Owing to Hie rain Hu- first meeting
was held at flic school auditorium in
stead of tiie park, as announced in
the program. The meeting was call
ed to order by the first vice president,
W. T. McGill, who asked for the
names of all who had not been as
signed lioines. that the committee
might wait on them. This meeting
was called the real reunion, ?is all the
soldiers mei, engaged in (be hearty
handshake and extended greetings
and enjoyed themselves socially.
Impromptu speeches were made by
Gol. .1. C. St ribling. of Pendleton:
Judge J. W. Holleman and Mr. Mc
Gill, of Walhalla, and M. A. 'ferrell,
of Westminster. Interesting stories
<?f the war in which they showed an
o.i; i mess 1 i - in n>n 1 a loore and
willie: ness to conn honu noon ..".<.(
get iiig m, were brough) oui by
Good . ngiiig w.t.s rendered by
Pro?. V.. ._. ruy lot-, Messrs. Riser
and Potior, Misses Haley and Ku
banks, with Miss Marie Hall at the
piano. Among the selections was
"Hixic." which touched a responsive
chord in the veterans, ?is it always
does.
Cigars and lemonade were distrib
uted among Hie veterans and the au
dience.
Friday's Program.
Friday morning the veterans were
greeted by a full house at the audi
torium. The exercises opened at 10
o'clock and were again presided over
i>y the first vue president, W. T. Mc
Gill. Tho fist Hiing on the program
was the "Parrot" song, by John A.
Durham, which was very amusing to
all. The in vient ion was then deliv
ered by Rev. ft. L. Du (Ile, a veteran,
who implored the divine blessing
upon Orr's Regiment, members of
the oilier companies and all present.
The favorite war song, "Dixie,"
was sung, which brought cheers from
different parts of tho audience.
On behalf of the town, Mayor ll.
H. Hilbert was introduced and made
Hu; welcome address to veterans In a
few brief remarks, stating thal our
gates, our lum es and our hearts were
open to those who wore the gray.
Next tho male quartette, Messrs.
Stewart, Durham. Cross and Blrod,
sang "Tenting on the Old Camp
Ground."
.Mrs. J. M. Bruner, president of
the Robert A. Thompson Chapter. U.
D. C., in ?i very fitting and appropri
ate manner, extended a most cordial
and true welcome to the Confederate
veterans on behalf of the chapter.
Col. J. C. Stribling, of Pendleton,
responded to the addresses of wel
come. He said they had never en
joyed a better reception than In
West ni i n st er. He referred to this
section II < formerly known ns "nub
bin' ridge," and all the veterans are
now ready to call it the "fried
chicken and peach pie ridge." Col.
Stribling paid the good ladles be
hind the movement a beautiful trib
ute. Ho recalled the first move from
Sandy Springs on July 21, 18fil. He
told of the good and nohlo work of
the Daughters of the Confederacy,
nn.1 how the crosses of honor were
always recognized as identification
when away from home.
At this time Mr. McGill paid a
high tribute to the noble life and
Christian character of Coi. Robert U.
Hemphill, tho father of Mrs. Mary
Oreen, who was to have responded to
the address from tho Robert A.
Thompson Chapter. A letter was
road from Mrs. Green expressing her
inability to be present, lt follows:
"Abbeville, Aug. 4, 1915.
"My Dear Mr. McGill: 1 have de
layed answering your letter for a
long time in the hope that I would
he able to come to Westminster for
the reunion, but 1 lind that I cannot
come this time. I appreciate the in
vitation and I know you old soldiers
art? going to have a good time.
"My mother is quite well and is
holding her own remarkably well.
She spent several days with me last
week.
"We are all sorry to know that
you have been sick and hope that you
will be quito well by the reunion.
"I thank you sincerely for inviting
ute to the reunion, and I want you to
remember me to all tho old soldiers
who remember me. Come down to
Abbeville and make us a visit
"Yours sincerely,
"Mary II. Green."
The song. ".lust Fifty Years Ago."
was listened with deep interest by
all present as sung by John A. Dur
ham.

at Walhalla in 1914, were read hy
the secretary, ,1. w. Holleman, and
approved.
J. W. Holleman, secretary', read
out the names of IC? comrades who

was a very affecting part of the pro

viving members with sadness. Beau
tiful tributes lo deceased comrades
were made by Messrs. Holleman and
McGill in short talks at this time.
The list of thor.e who have died dur
ing the past year is as follows:

.Association Organized 187'?.
The association of Orr's Regiment
was organized in l s7H. when a num- '
ln>r of survivors attended the funeral !
of Judge Orr, whose body was
brought home from St. Petersburg,
Russia, where he was United States
minister. The association has met
annually since then at some place in
Anderson, Plckens and Oconee coun
ties. This, we believe, ls the first
time Westminster has had the pleas
ure of entertaining the survivors.
Among those who belonged to the
command of Judge Orr. known to
many Oconee people, were Col. W C.
Keith, former editor of the Keowee
Courier, Judge Jas. S. Oothrnn and
J. J. Norton and Rev. Francis P. Mtll
lally. ?en. R. R. Hemphlll, late edi
tor of the Abbeville Medium, was
president of the association nine dif
ferent times. All these were men of
brains and ability.
A Wonderful Antiseptic.
Germs and infection aggravate ail
ments and retard healing. Stop that
infection at once. Kill the germs and
get rid of the poisons. For this pur
pose a single application of Sloan's
Liniment not only kills tho pain but
destroys the germs. This neutralizes
Infection and gives nature assistance
by overcoming congestion and gives a
chance for tho free and normal flow
of the blood. Sloan's Liniment is an
emergoncy doctor and should be kept
constantly on hand. 25c, 50c. Tho
