OLD VETERAN'S DAY. ORANGSBURG SURRENDERS TO TO THE GRAND OLD HEROES. They Parade Russell Street, Hear an Address From Col. Coward and Enjoyed a Rig Dinner. The city of Orangeburg surrender ed unconditionally to the Old Con federate Veterans yesterday. The grand old herpes came in goodly numbers, and we want to congratu late them on their appearance. They looked well, marched well and we hope they will be with us many years. As soldiers on many a hard fought battlefield they covered their names with imperishable glory. President Roosevelt referred to them in one of his books as Lee's uncom parable veterans. They deserved this high compliment, and we are glad it was paid them by a man whose sympathies were on the other side. Marshal Fred S. Dibble formed the Old Veterans in column about eieven o'clock and they marched down Russell street from Doyle street to the corner of Broughton street, where they counter-marched back to Middleton street and proceed ed to the opera house, where the ex ercises of the day was to be held. The Old Veterans were escorted by the Tlllman Volunteers, under com mand of Capt. J. H. Claffy, the stu-. dents of the Orangeburg Collegiate Institute and the students of the Or .^ngeburg High School, under the supervision of Superintendent Thack ston and the teachers, in the order named, the Old Veterans marching in the position of honor at the rear. The procession was headed by the Orangeburg Military Band, under command of Leader O. K. Wilson. Just in front of the band, at the head of the procession, were a squad of policemen under command of Chief A. Fischer. Wien the procession reached the Opera House the escorting column halted before entering and opened ranks and allowed the Old Veterans to march through and enter the Opera House first. On the stage were a number of Old Veterans, the ladies and gentlemen composing the chair and the members of the press. The meeting was called to order by Prof. Stiles R. Melfichamp, who had been requested to act as chairman. He called on Rev. D. D. Dantzler to open the proceedings with prayer, which he did in a fervent petition to the Throne of Grace. The prayer was followed by a quartette from the Orangeburg Military Band, under Leader O. K. Wilson, rendering "The Vacant Chair" on their instru ments. "The Bonnie Blue" was then sung by the choir and the whole audiente under the leadership of Col. Martimer Glover. Prof. MelUchamp then welcomed the Old Veterans in a short speech, in which he took occasion to com pliment them on their appearance, and extended them a hearty and cordial welcome to the city of Or angeburg and her hospitalities. He spoke feelingly of the ever short ening line of the Old Veterans, and said in a few more years reunions here would soon be ovor with the veterans who wore the gray as weh as with the veterans who wore the blue. He was liberally applauded. The choir then sang "The Old Ken tucky Home," in which the large audience joined in. Prof. Mellichamp then introduced Col. A. Coward in a neat and ap propriate little speech as the orator of the day. He referred to Col. Cow ard as a gallant and brave officer, who never failed to do his duty on the tented field in the days when the Stare and Bars were carried to victory in many a hard fought bat tle. The large audience of veterans and others endorsed all Prof. Melli champ said of this gallant and brave soldier by cheering his statements in reference to him to the echo. As Col. Coward arose and faced his old comrades, he was received with great applause by them. As soon as the applause subsided, he began his excellent address, which was given close attention and fre quently applauded by the large au dience. He spoke most feelingly and com plimentary of the deeds of valor and heroism performed by the Con federate soldiers, and related many stirring incidents of battles in which many of the Old Veterans before him had participated. He paid a beautiful tribute to the gallant Gen. Micah Jenkins, his most intimate friend, who laid <Jown his young life for his country at the battle of the Wilderness. He also spoke feelingly of Col. T. j. Glover, from Orangeburg, who too offered up his young life on one of the battlefields of Virginia for the Confederacy. He told a touching incident connect ed with the wounding of a young man, one of the color guards of his regiment, and paid him a high tribute for bravery and gallantry in the very jaws of death. After paying the Old Veterans in general the highest tribute for gal lantry and heroism on the battle field, Col. Coward complimnted them very highly on what they have done in building up the waste places of the South and once again making it a land of prosperity and happiness since the war. He urged the Old Veterans to teach their children the true etory of the causes that lead up to the war, explaining in a most iutid manner the compact that was formed by the original thirteen Stares, under which every State had the right to withdraw from the com pact when they thought it was to their interest to do so. Col. Cow ard's address was very interesting from beginning to end, and was re ceived most enthusiastically. At its close he was presented with a large bouquet of beautiful chrysanthe mums. The choir then sang "Dixie" in THE COTTON MARKET. Reports From All the Leading Points in the Country.

One of Our Young Men Who Is Making His Mark. The Atlanta correspondent of the Augusta Herald says: "Interesting promotions have been announced at the Atlanta offices of the Southern Bell Telephone Company. A. H. Marchant, until recently cashier of the Atlanta exchange, has been made district commercial manager with [supervisor tin this capacity over At lanta and twenty other exchanges. F. H. Massenburg, for three years traveling auditor for the Southern Bell, succeeds Mr. Marchant as cashier of the Atlanta exchange. C. F. Roddey, formerly district com l mercial manager, has resigned that position in order that he might con nect himself with the auditing de partment of the company. These I announcements have been made by W. D. Roberts, division commercial superintendent of the Southern Bell. Mr. Marchant is originally from Or angeburg, S. C. He was at one time commandant and military instructor in the Georgia Military college at Milledgeville. He was also an of ficer in the Spanish-American war. Mr. Massenburg is a native of Ma con, Ga. He has been connected with the Southern Bell for four years. 1 We congratulate Mr. Marchant and hope he will continue to rise. 1 Colds and Coughs. The only sure cure for colds and coughs is to avoid the infections and the foul air of illventilated rooms and buildings in which they breed; to keep the body toned up to a fight ing pitch, by Cold baths and an abundance of fresh air, especially in the bedroom; and if the infection does get a foothold to assist nature in her fight against It by rest in the open air, and promoting elimination through the skin, bowels and kid neys. Sunlight, food, fresh air and exerclso are the only cure-alls known. Don't worry about disease and what to take when you're sick, but work for health. a most enthusiastic way. Prof. Mel lichamp called the attention of the large audience to the death of Dr. Jas. H. Carlisle and requested the audience to rise as a mark of re spect to the memory of this truly great man and the departed veterans, and stand while the Rev. D. D. Dantzler offered up the closing prayer. Every one in the house rOBe in response to this proposition and stood until the final prayer and ben edic?ion was offered. The Old Vet erans then marched to the dining room of the Orangeburg Collegiate Institute, where a dinner was served them by the ladies. The whole af fair was a grand suteess, and we congratulate the Thos. J. Glover Camp of Veterans, under whose auspices it was given. Marshal Fred S. Dibble and As sistant Marshal F, A. Schiffley and C.K. Jones are to be congratulated on the successful manner in which the whole days proceedings was carried out. They managed things admirab ly. We hope all the Old Veterans reached their homes safely and that the lives of each of them will be preserved until at least one more reunion. It was a genuine pleasure to have had them with us once more, and we hope to greet each of them at the next reunion. Orangeburg has a tender spot in her heart for all the Old Confederate Veterans, and they will always find a warm welcome within her gates.

ITEMS FROM COPE. The Postoffice Doing a Flourishing Business?Other News. Cope, S. C, Oct. 21.?Special: Every once in awhile we see in the papers what the Orangeburg Post office or some other place, is doing in the postal line. Cope has two R. F. D. routes leading out from her office, and if your correspondent is not mistaken, holds the record for being the pioneer in rural free de livery mail. Certainly in the South, anyhow, for when Mr. J.

The clowning part of a circus pro gram is not understood by th* out sider. There are times during the show when there is not a clown in sight, and then in the next instani the hippodrome track will almost swarm with them. They seem to spring from the ground, and they will disappear as quickly. The pres ence of the clown is appropriate and is desired with most circus acts, and again there are some features which would be i*nl*l?d if they were allowed to be clowned. Clowning is a fine art. The best clowns are born, not made. When Intermingling with citizens on the streets they would not be suspected of being wearers of the loose robe of a fool, but when they appear in the circus rings with their makeups on thev laugh and the crowd laughs wltn them. TLey help to unload, temporally, at least, the cares from the mi/id3 of thousands so dignified and quiet upon the streets and out of the circus ring would never be pick? 1 out as being clowns on the road, but they are.
