Friends and oountryiiien, lend me your ears, or rather your eyes. Our State, through her metropolis, has in vited the Confederate Veterans to meet: with us in May. Now. it behooves us. as loyal Sout h Carolinians, tn prove our traditional hospitality. The shaine id' insufficient accommodation for our visitors would not fall upon Charles ton alone, but upon the State of South Carolina. In 'lil we led the van, it was the clarion tones of our fathers, upon most of whom ?i deep silence has fallen now which called our sister States to unite with us in resenting tyranny and wrong to tight, if fight we must, for the independence Avhich our Revoln tionary sires had so hardly won. Many of you remember thc day the troops went off, some of you then were bright-eyed girls, and proudly, though through a mist of tears, you waved farewells to brothers and sweethearts who, side by side, marched hopefully away. You remember, too, that some of those brave boys never came home again, and those who did were boys no longer, but earnest, saddened men. Bravely they took up thc hard burden of life and year by year the ranks have grown thinner, thc heads whiter, the furrows deeper, until now, instead of the hopeful young men of ?(>i, there is a band of noble old men to whom Ave, the women of a hiter generation, OAVC a double meed of reverence and love. Regardless of thc heavy burden of un accustomed poverty, and the bitter defeat of a cause they felt to be right and just, they sheltered our childhood's years and smoothed for us the path of life. XOAV to these men unto whose lives so much shadow has fallen, a bright spot is their annual reunion-Avhen they meet Avith old Avar time comrades, tell again the dear old Avar time tales, clasp hands and look into eyes that, until the glad reunion on the other side of thc daile river, they may never meet again. Let us make for these old sol diers one more happy time ; it Avili surely be the last for ninny.
