S0'* HDNDAUGHTERS OF THE CONFEDERACY THE TWO ORGANIZATIONS JOINBD IN A RECEPTION TUESDAY BYENING. T4e Veterans Were Honored Guests-An Interesting and Inspiring Program Was Carried Out. Most of them who yet survive are fast approaching the brink of the river which flows between time and eternity- the heroes in gray who, in e morning of their lives, fresh with hope and confident ir a courage inspired by principle bor in of truth and justice, went forth to battle for Southern rights; whose noon-tide dazzled a world with its kindling glory; whose eveni'ig, ush ered upon then in the deep gloom which enshrouded Appomattox, has been spent and is now being spent in the work of building a new South upon the ruins of the old-a new South, retaining all that was noblest and sweetest in the old, and yet an inseparable part of are united coun try which is today leading the world in material progress and in all the arts and sciences. It is well for the future of the Southland and of the American na tion, it is well for the valor of American arms and the glory of American achievements, that their deeds shall not be forgot, that their children have determined that the memory of the days from '6r to 65, and from '65 to '76 shall ever be fresh and cherished sweetly. It is due them and due the future; for there is no brighter page in the his tory of nations than was writ by the struggle of the Southern legions, and the record of a great people'E glorious past can but inspire theii children to noble endeavous and grand achievements. In the hospitable home of Mr. Fred. H. Dominick, draped with the red and white of the Southerr Confederacy, and banked witl: palms and ferns and roses kisset into beauteous bloom by soft South ern breezes, the Draytoa Ruther ford Chapter Daughters of the Con. federacy and the John M Kinare Camp Son of Confederate Veteram. met on Tuesday evening for socia intercourse and to further the greal cause in which they are enlisted The members of the James D. Nanc< Camp were honored guests. This is th- first of a series o: meetings by which it is hoped tc lend a fresh enthusiasm in the greai work in which the Sons and Daugh. -ters have enlisted themrselv'es. Ii is proposed to hold these meetingi monthly or quarterly. The reception on Tuesday eve. nimg was well attended. The guests were cordially received by the memi bers of the home. At the conclu siorn of the program which had beer arranged light refresh ments were served, arnd the whole evening war spent most pleasantly arid most profitably. Mr. Fred H. Dominick cordially welcomed those p)resent arid an non cedl that Mr. J. J. McSwain, of Greenville, Comimanider-in-.Chiel of the South Carolina Division U. S. V., who had been invited to be present, had found at the last mo-0 merit that it would b~e imnpossible for hini to attend. Commandei McSwain regretted v'ery much thi' Inability to attend and expressee l'is best wishes for a very happy me etin g. Mr Dominick introduced those on the programr. Miss Mazie Dominick v'ery grace fully rendered several pianio selec t ions. COL. IIIUN'S ADDIRJESS. Col. WV. H-. Hnit was ilntrodunced andl miade a talk which (deal t muore especially with the huistory' of local mewn in tihe great conflict, andl( ini denlts and anecdotes of the New berlv'county andetilm Sout rio lina troops. The tiddress was ap propriate and interesting and very highly appreciated. Miss Susie Summer delighted the audience with a beautifully render ed solo appropriate to the occasion, and was followed by Miss Bernice Martin in a recitation. Miss Martin chose a selection deal ing with the mart yrdom of the heoric Sam Davis, and the rendition was with much feeling and effect. Mrs. Jas. A. Burton followed with a piano selection, ''Song of the Six ties", a medley of Southern war songs and soft Southern mel odies. Mrs. Ro>ert D. Wright read a paper written by Mrs. Eugene B. Gary, of Abbeville, on the organiza tion and objects of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. Mr. Eugene Boozer sang "Senti nel Asleep." Mr. Boozer with his rich baritone voice captivated his audience and at their urgent request repeated the song later in the even ig. COMAANDICR K I NARD'S ADDRUESS. Mr. John M. Kinard, Division Commander of the South Carolina Division of Sons, was introduced and made an address pleading for earnest 'vork among the Sons and Daughters, for loyalty to the cause, and closing with an appe'l for ear nest effort in the work of the erec tion of a monument to the women of the South. Commander Kinard said that this joint meeting of the Daughters and Sons had been suggested, he be lieved by the Sons, in order that they might in sonic measure at least imbibe the enthusiani and activity that had charcterized the Daugh ters. No chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy, no camp of the Sons of Veterans, lie said, would amount to more than the rain-bow after the storm-beautiful, but soon vanished-if it had not a distinct and positive object and pursued that object persistently and vigorously. We must see to it that there is no further perversion of the history of the war. Already the school books our children study have the North ern setting of history and it nov seems that the last act of recon. struction may be the distortion ol history under the ruthless lines of the conqueror's pen. We must see to it that no surviving Confederate soldier shall spend the remnant of his days in want of the necessities of life, it is a sad reflection upon the young manhood of this genera tion that they are so lax in interest and allegiance to the blessed cause for wvhich our fathers fought so nobly and died so willingly. Are we not untrue to tihe high and noble heritage of our ancestors if we (10 not band ourselves together with hooks of steel to perpetuate the valor and heroism of tihe Confedler ate soldier and combat the insidious reflection t'-at our war wvas rebellion anId treason, our soldiers rebels and traitors? .Commander Kinard cited the in Cidlent of the school-girl of Louis ville, Ky., thirteen years of age, who refused to sing "'Marching Through Georgia," at the com mand of her Yankee teacher, and who in alppreciation of her loyalty had been elected honorary member of many camps throughout the South and showered wvith huonos. What an incentive, said Commander Kinard, this incident should be to eachl one of us not to participate in nor countenance any disloyalty to our cause. Some one has said our Somutherni ancestors loved liberty amnd feared God. They wvere devotedl to those liberties wvhiich their forefathers had wrung from King ~John anid King *George, theuy aspired to estab)lishi a Confederaflte govermnment whIich was in its very essence a pure repubillic, andl was in the (lirectin of ilor perfect liberty of the citizen and the State. The civil war was not a conspiracy of leaders. It was not a rebellion. It was a revolution in that it was a thorough uprising of the people. It was a crisis in which the people took charge and wrung the States out of the Union./ Con stitutional li'erty was theirs and they dared to maintain it by the arbitrament of war. I appeal to every son and dPighter to uphold the uncoiqueert, undefiled prin ciples of the Confederacy. "No nation rose so white, so fair, None fell so pure of crime." Before I close let me make one appeal to the chivalry and patriot ism of the young men of the South It is to build one more monument and crown the top with the beauti ful figure and angelic face of Wo man. The true chivalry and pa triotism of the manhood of the South will not be recorded by the future historian until we raise this Inonument ia comeneminoration of the hardships, the loving ministra tions and the heroism of the Con federate women. Companions in suffering, they ought to be coi panions in glory. "DIXIR At the conclusion of Commander Kinard's address, all standing sang "Dixie", led by Mrs. 1'. 0 Stewart than whom there is no one more earnest in loyalty to the cause. Mimnaugh Going Out of Business. Mimnaugh says that he is going out of the clothing business and has decided to make as quick work of it as possible by throwing his entire stock of goods on the market at New York cost prices. He is offer ing bargains. A WOMAN'S BACK The aches and pains will disappear if the advice of this Newberry citizen is followed.
