Whether poison application should oe mudo after migration starts de pends on conditions. Migration is not yet heavy enough nt any point to warrant discontinuation of poisoning. When migration becomes severe and gouoral, no prom may bo expected from poisoning. During the past week lhere have lu en breezy and dowless nights, es pecially In tho Piedmont section. Poisoning on such nights ls not rec 0 m mended, but tho application should be mudo during the first fa vorable nights, even though it be a week or so late ticcordisg to sched ule.

SUIVI VOUS OF ORR'S REGIMENT livid Their Fiftieth Annual ItOUl?OU yesterday-Was Cjrent Occasion? Ino Survivors of Orr's Regiment of South Carolina Volunteers huyo again met in ?heir fiftieth annual re union to renew the friendships of tho days of yore and to tighten tho bonds that so firmly hold them to each other and to their posterity. The veterans began arriving in Walhalla Monday morning, and by the afternoon lt looked as if Eather Time had dealt kindly with them since their last meeting, thero were se many badges In evidence. They caine as ?ho guests of tho United Daughters of the Confederacy and the Oconeo Dost of the American Lo gion, which organizations vied with each other in their efforts tov do the old soldiers honor. They dared not give expression to a wish If they did not want it gratified, and that right merrily. Tho First Meeting was held Monday night at 8 o'clock at thc high school auditorium. Lieut. J. X. Strlbling, of tho World War veterans, commander of the Oconoc Post of the American Legion, dulled Hie assembly to order, and Ibo meet ing was formally opened with prayer by Rev. L. NV. Langston, of the Wal halla First Daplist chun h. A de lightful musical program was then rendered by Mr. and Mrs. William Bell and thc Misses White. Al tho conclusion of this feat ti rt- the gavel was delivered lo Capt. W. T. McGill, president of tho Association of the Survivors of Orr's Regiment, for the purpose of calling tho organization to order for ibo transaction of what ever business might come before it. All ibo old officers wore re-elected for tho ensuing year, except thc chaplain. Dr. J. S. Moffatt having died since last meeting. Rev. J. L. Anderson was elected chaplain. Memorial services were held for the mom hers who have answered tho last roll-call since the last meeting. The report of the committee was mac? by Harry R. Hughs, an honor ary member of the association, at the request of the chairman of the committee. There were six names added to the "transferred roll," as follows: Pr. fl. S. Moffatt. Fred. While, Elihu F. Miller, R. I). Robin son. Thomas Wyley, G. F, Moore, (li is possible there aro others, but no official record has been kept, this list being made from memory.) Mr. Johnson then offered a reso lution asking tba. effort be made by all veterans and their friends for an Increase In the pensions for tho old soldiers. Mr. Johnson made an elo quent and touching appeal in behalf of the resolution, and several others added ?heir approval by appropriate remarks. It was adopted without a dissenting vote. Recess was then taken until ten o'clock Tuesday morning. Tuesday Morning dawned with clouds lowering, but this did not dampen the spirits of those interested in the exercises of the day. At 10 o'clock Confederate veterans and their ."_;..s, World War veterans and their friends, and Daughters of tile Confederacy and Ihelr friends had filled tho auditor ium to its capacity. A rather inter esting scene presented Itself to those present. Back of tho stago was draped the "Stars and Bars" and the "Stars and Stripes," joined in such mar.uer as lo suggest tho reunited country. Just below, and rather be tween them, and sheltered by thom, was an old silken banner bearing the legend, "Walhalla Riflemen-Organ ized July 12th, 1S."2-Second South Carolina Militia," and on ono side the National Coat of Arms, and on tho other the Coat of Arms of the Slato of South Carolina. This was the company (lag of the first company organized in Walhalla when it was founded. Many of tho company fought nine years later in tho Con federate army, and some of them were members of Orr's Regiment, mont. N'ono of them are living after lhose seventy years and the Hag it self has been reduced to shreds by the ravages of time. As the opening number on tho program Veteran L. 13. Campbell, of Helton, appeared upon the stago In tho full uniform and marching equip ment of a Confederate soldier. I Io gave an exhibition of the "manual of arms" according to old "Hnrdco's Manual," which was used by the Con fed?ralo Army. lt was very Interest ing and thoroughly enjoyed by all, ( ven to our lato soldiers, for it was markedly different from tho manual i o-day. I After prayer by Rev. L. W. Lang son, Commander J, Norton Strlb ling, Ol' Oconeo Host, American Le gion, opened tho exercises with a few well chosen remarks, expressing tho appreciation that tho Logion felt in having tho privilogo of entertain ing the soldiers of tho sixties. Ho then introduced Mayor Jamen M. Moss, who welcomed them on be half of tho town of Walhalla. Mr. Moss said that ho would always re voro the memory of Orr's Regiment anti Its history, iind that In oidor that tho members present, OB well as all old soldiers, should fool Just as they did while on that now historic jaunt through Virginia, tho town lind dug ditches -and thrown up breast-works for their bonoflt (?), and in order that tho town might bo turned over to them cotnplotoly tho eily authorities had tho ealabooso dynamited Monday morning. That while idealism had becomo a term both of praise and scorn, no matter what tl man undertook, an Ideal was necessary. That lt waa an Ideal which enabled the gray-haired veterans to endure! what they did, and lt was I bat which helped tho mon of tho Thirtieth Division to break the im pregnable Hindenburg line. Mrs. J.W.Boll, presldout of Norton chapter, U. D. C., was then intro duced, and in a very happy and pleas ing manner spoke as follows: Mr. President, Members of Orr's Regiment and Other Veterans of the War Between tho Sections, Soldiors of the World War, Ladles and .Gen tlemen: In behalf of tho Norton chapter, H. D. C., I wish to extend greetings to you. This day wo have como to renew our loyalty to each other. I would wish ray* words to convey peculiar si guillen nco to you-I would wish Ibis greeting, this loving welcome, to be worthy of you, honored guest - of to-day. Lol us think for a moment what pa I Iriolism is. Some ono has said (hat patriotism is new with every ag*. To Washington and his army it meant j manhood rights; lt was ideals and theories of government to Rober! io. Lee and his soldiers. Love of human ity and tho rospect of tho rights of the weaker as against the stronger carried Pershing and our sons across tho ses in 1917. In a word, patriot ism means one who loves his country and guards its wolfare. To thc World War veterans 1 should like to say that our hearts, though .bleeding, rejoiced that Hie patriotism in yours was so groat that lt roso above selfish alms and greod. It was patriotism that placed you three thousand miles away to light on foreign soil, having to sacrifice ease, estate, wealth, and even lift itself, for the broad spirit of nation alism and for tho sacrod cause ol humanity. Long livo such patriotlsn as this! There ls no finer heritage tq conn to our sons than the life and example of such men as tho Confederate vet crans-dear soldiers of the sixties whom all of us honor and love st dearly-patriots who counted no sac rillce too great to maintain Southon j honor. Wc assuro you of our grate ful recognition of your loyal dovo Hon to country and of your suprenn sacrifice to duty. Southern Patriot Well may I say of you what some ono has said of Robert E. Lee: "Though victory crowheth not th; brow, To-day thou stand'st unveiled: Typo of tho manliest manhood, thou That in fighting, failed. ? Well may'st thou lift aloft thy hoad Immortal is thy crown; And tho' tho cause thou lod'st i dead, Deathless is thy renown. And so in story thou shalt sland, In legend and in loro, Tho Idol of thy nativo land Till time shall bo no more." On Bohalf of tho Veterans. Col. J. N. Stribling, of Andersoi responded to the addresses of we como, in part, as follows: Ho sal that but for tho United Daughtei of tho Confederacy tho veteran ? tho Confederate Army, and most < his valorous deeds, would have lon sinco been forgotten, but that h was proud to say that the young w< men of to-day aro fondly cherlshin the heritage which was handed dow to them by their mothers of yesto day. That tho women had nlwaj been greater patriots than Hie me: and that ho hoped now, sinco tl women have the ballot, they will ll) provo upon tho state of affairs thi the men are handing to them. > As for tho World War veteran nothing ho could say would add ai honor to that which they had wt upon tho field of battle; but he d sired to roniind thom that hom without good, straight, honorab living, would soon fado away; th honor and right could not be leg! lated; lt bad to he worked* out, ai that In tho game some had to be 1 borers-all could not be bosses. Major Henry C. Tillman. Tho orator of the day, Major Hen C. Tillman, of Greenwood, a Wot War vctoran, was then Introduce Ho said that ho was glad of an c pori unity to speak on this occasir as il was his pleasure to help to honor lo tho old veterans still livii .and thai any man who did not fi a debt of gratitude lo ?hf in for wt . tiny havo dope ls not worthy t name. That he did not proposo le undi into a defense of thom 1 the fight they made; that ho coi argue lt from a legal and a const!' tional standpoint to show that their causo was right, but that ho needed only ono fact to provo lt beyond dis puto, and that was that tho whole South roso to defend lt. Ho had no objection to tho war hoing called "The War of tho Itobolllon"-that tho Revolutionary War was a suc cessful robellion, and tho war of tho ?ixtles was an unsuccessful one from a standpoint of tho South. That sla very was not tho causo, but moroly on incident of tho war. Eighty-five por cont of the men who wore tho gray were not slave owners, but they domunded that they have tho right to declaro how they should bo gov orned, and this was tho priuciplo that the World War was based upon. Major Tillman paid fitting tribute to tho matchless leaders of tho Con fed?ralo forces, but said that after all tho real hero was tho private sol dier in the ranks. Great as were their victories In war, their victories of peace were far greater, for upon their return from the battlo front to what had boon home, they had noth ing left but honest hoarts and un conquerable souls. To-day wo aro facing a now epoch. Tho old men aro passing-postllenco ls abroad. What do the young men intend to do? Will they quit likq cowards or go to work? Ho wanted, he said, to sound tho call to duty and to remind all that tho Immortal Leo said lt was tho sub limest word in the English language. That Leo demonstrated this when he fought, not for self, not for pay, not for glory, but because an unerring consclonco told him that his cause was right. That the greatest herit age tho South could have ls the glory of the Confederacy and her chief- j talus, and that lu tho mad rush of tho hour we aro too prone to forget, so he pleaded that "The Lord of Hosts might he with us yet-lest wo forget-lest wo forget." Mr. McKissick Not Present. A telegram was received from the Hon. J. Rion McKissick saying that on account of delayed train he would be unable lo got here, and request ing that his appreciation and regrets should be conveyed to tho soldiers. Resolutions of thanks to the hosts were offered and adopted by a ris ing vote. Meeting Opened to AH. The meeting was thou thrown open to all, and Capt. S. K. Dendy gave some Interesting history in connec tion with tho association: Orr's Regiment of Rifles ls the only organization in tho State that bas perpetuated its history. It was organized and tho first meeting was held in 1S72, fifty years ago. Ho called attention to thc old, tat tered banner, already referred to, and said that there was history be hind lt that he would like to give if time permitted. Tho following aro the names, of Confederate soldiers In Company C. Orr's Roglmest, from Walhalla and vicinity whoso ancestors wore mem bers of the Walhalla Rifles, a fino German company, organized in 1852: Fred W. Pieper, William Corbor, August Bronnocke, John Knee, John Glouse, M. Bulwlnklo, Charles Nel baugh, William Ahrens, Louis H. Brandt, John Huskamp, John ?J. An sel. I regret to say that not ono of them ls now living, nor aro any of their anscctors living. All have.long since passed over. I wish to say that William Ahrens was color bearer and was killed In a charge. When ho fell George Bell picked up tho colors and the staff was shot from tho flag. Undaunted Bell picked up tho flag again and put it on the ramrod of his rifle and carried tho colors on with hut. little Interruption. "Walhalla ls tho alma mater of this renowned association," ho said, "and I hope that when tho last re union shall be held lt will bo in old Walhalla." Dinner for tho Veterans. Tho ladles announced dinner was ready on the grounds, and tho young slldiers wero directed each to get an old soldier and escort him to tho feast,where, nt least for a time, he might' forget tho hardships of the days that live in memory only and bo brought to a living realization (Continued on Sovonth Page.)

"Black-Draught ist in my opinion, thebest liver medicine on the market," states Mrs. R. H. White side, of Keota, Okla. She continues: "I had a pain in my chest after eating tight, uncomfortable feel ing--and this was very disagreeable and brought on headache. I was con stipated and knew it was indigestion and inactive liver. I began the use of Black-Draught, night and morning, and it sure is splendid and certainly gives relief." For over seventy years this purely vegetable j? preparation fias been found beneficial by thou sands of persons suffer ing from effects of a tor pid, or slow-acting liver. Indigestion, biliousness, colic, coated tongue, diz ziness, constipation, bit ter taste, sleeplessness, lack of energy, pain in back, puffiness under the eyes-any or all of these symptoms often indicate that there is something the matter with your liver. You can't be too careful about the medi cine you take. Be sure that the "name, "Thed ford's Black-Draught," is on the package. At all druggists.
