SRIWANDMUGHTERS OF THE CONFEDERACY THE TWO ORGANIZATIONS JOINBD IN A RBCEPTION TUESDAY EYBNING. Te 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 in a courage inspired by principle boi n of truth and justice, went forth to battle for Southern rights; whose noon-tide dazzled a world with its kindling glory; whose evening, ush ered upon theni 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 '61 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's glorious past can but inspire their children to noble endeavous and grand achievements. In the hospitable home of Mr. Fred. H. Dominick, draped with the red and white of the Southern Confederacy, and banked with pals and ferns and roses kissed into beauteous bloom by soft South ern breezes, the Drayton Ruther ford Chapter Daughters of the Con federacy and the John M Kinard Camp SonF of Confederate Veterans met on Tuesday evening for social intercourse and to further the great cause in which they are enlisted. The members of the James D. Nance Camp were honored guests. This is the first of a series of meetings by which it is hoped to lend a fresh enthusiasm in the great work in which the Sonis and Daugh ters have enlisted themselves. It is proposed to hold these mneetings monthly or quarterly. The reception on Tuesday eve ning was well attended. The guests were cordially received by the mem hers of the home. At the conclu sion of the p)rogram wvhich had been arranged light refreshments were. served, and the whole evening was spent most pleasantly and most - profitably. Mr. Fred H. Dominick cordially welcomed those p)resent and an non ced that Mr. J. J. McSwain, of Greenville, Conmmander-in-Chief of the South Carolina Division U. S. V., who had been invited to he present, had found at the last mo mnent that it would l.e impossible for him to attend. Comnmandler I McSwain regretted very much this< inability to attend and expressed l'is best wishes for a v'ery' happy meeting. Mr Dominick introduced those onl the p)rogram. Miss Mazie Dominick very grace fully rendered several p)ianio selec t ionis. COL1. IIUN'"s ADDhR ;-:ss. Col. WV. H . H unt was initroduaced and made a talk which dealt morey especially with the history of local ( mecn in the great conflict, antd inaci- ( dent~s and anedotes of the New-i berly coun ty and the Son thIC rom. a lina troops. The Oddress 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 tI piano selection, "Song of the Six ties", a medley of Southern war songs and soft Southern mel odies. Mrs. Robert 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 ing. COMMANDIPR KINARD'S ADDRIVSs. Mr. John M. Kinard, Division Commander of the South Carolina Division of Sons, was introduced and made an address pleading for earnest work among the Sons and Daughters, for loyalty to the cause, and closing with an appeqil 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 some measure at least imbibe the enthusiam and activity that had charcterized the Daugh ters. No chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy, no camp of the Sons of Veterans, he said, would amount to more than the rain-bow after the storm--beautiful, but soo, 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 ne further perversion of the history ol 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 ol 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 f life. It is a sad reflection upon Lhe young manhood of this genera tion that they are so lax in interest md allegiance to the blessed cause hr which our fathers fought so iobly and died so willingly. Are .ve not unmtrue to the high and noble 2eritage of our ancestors if we do 2ot band ourselves together with iooks of steel to perpetuate the ;alor and heroism of the Confeder ite soldier and combat the insidious -ellection t'-at our war wvas rebellion md treason, our soldiers rebels anid raitors? - Commander Kinard cited thme in :ident of the school-girl of Louis rille, Ky. , thirteen years of age, vho refused to sing '"Marching ['hrough Georgia,"' at the comn niand of her Yankee teacher, and vho in appreciation of her loyalty inad beeni elected honorary mnembler f many camps througout the outh and showered with hono's. Vhat an incentive, said Commander Cinard, this incident should be to ach one of us not to participate i:: or countenance any disloyalty to ~ur cause. Some one has said our Souithmern ncestors loved li berty anmd fea red ~od. They were devoted to those berties whlmich t heir forefathers hand 'rung from King Jhn amnd King eorge, t hey asp)ired to estaiblish a onmfederate govern ment whlmich was m its very essenlce a pure repl))ic, 13d wais in the (iirom) of mo,,re pe-fect 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 cri4s in which the people took charge and wring the States out of the Union.- Con stitutional liberty was theirs and they dared to maintain it by the arbitrament of war. I appeal to every son and daughter to uphold the unconqueerd, undefiled prin ciples of the Confederacy. "No nation rose so white, so fair, None fell so pure of crime." Before I close let ne make one appeal to the chivalry and patriot ism of the young nien of the South It is to build one more nonutent and crown the top with the beauti ful figure and angelic face of Wo imian. The trte chivalry and pa triotisin of the manhood of the South will not be recorded by the future historian until we raise this iuonument in colmeminoration of ( the hardships, the loving ninistra tions and the heroism of the C.on federate women. Companions in suffering, they ought to be coi panions in glory.
