Ucvv2> matt ix icu iuvu o ww**w# ?? ??? 4 -memorial day for many years the L good women and the men of Newm berry "have laid aside other matters B and have ?iven themselves over to' || j "honoring the men who wore the grey. ^ The numbers grow less from year to j year, and as the roll is called every year there'are many who answered, before, and who were familiar figures j ^n these happy sad occasions, whose J voice has been stilled, and no response comes in answer to the call ^ of their names by the adjutant. But E as long-as patriotism glows in. the hearts of the men and women of this Southland, the memory of the boys of the sixties will be kept sacred, and their names will be honored, and the garlands and flowers of the springtime will be gathered and made and placed' on the resting places of these "heroes. i It was a real spring day and vall arrv'Tid yo:r could see the old vets gathering ir groups to talk of other clays, and to recall the names of their 'coT^rades who had answered the last ? * re" rriVl. The tattoo would sound for ^ the""1 ".ore. But we must ever p 'Kee-) their memory fresh because in f the record made by them lies the inspiration to th^ir sons to do battle in the cause of freedom everywhere. It is an inspiration to our boys who are going and who have already gone overseas, to fight the battles of freedom in this world struggle in which we are engaged. A people without ruins and without monuments and without memories can never be a great people. One trouble with all. our training m cms wuuu.* m i ^ WXl V I ^ years has keen, that we have, endeavored to make it practical to the exclusion of the inculcation of those , ~~"~Tiigher ideals which develop a pat-; riotism that would result in a deeper, love of country. Or as some one ha3 said, we have been trained in this -practical aere in which we have -been ' living, to look more upon our country as a place in which to live rather, and that it meant little more than I / that. While we should inculcate that love of country which would instil ^not only the idea that it was a place In which to live, but the feeling * 1 JAflnltr fhaf ^,'p snouiu ue 3u uctpij i VVbVU VMM v .. .w ^ would love it not only as a place in which to live, but a place for which we would be willing to die if need * be. j The exercises were held in the cpera house and the address for the day was delivered by the Rev. Dr. John E. White of Anderson. Patriotic airs were suns and Maj. J. F. J. Caldwell presided and pre- J seated the speaker of the day in a hanov and pleasing manner. One of the prettiest and most touch- ! _ ing and inspiring events of the day see the hundreds of school r~ t uhiJdrerf march down to the Confedi erate monument with the garlands. and bouquets of beautiful flowers. ! and literally cover the sacred shaft. which hears the names of those who i fell in the defense of a cause they! ? believed to be right and just. And in the afternoon the good ladies d'd the same thing for the graves of the Confederate dead in the cemeteries/ And then the dinner, mat was ?u 1 event which the veterans looked forward to with pleasant anticipation1?. [It was in charge of the daughters and (rig~ ' well did thev do their part, as tftev si ways Just as Major Caldv?'er said, when aslted if there co-u-l Vg ^j'lif ?vr>!i|rJ t'le fin'1 hospitality of t%e good people of AbbevH'e. whi^n town had just entertained the Confederate reunion. It was, Maj. Caldwell said, fine enterfcairr^nt ard great hospitslit^, an! mHr r th?f could exj eel it. it was the kindness and at-* tent'on ar.d thoughfulness of the . g,T:r ' women of Newberry. The dinner was not elaborate. nof as "*'::'>or.if<r as the g-v>d women hav?* the veterans cn former ocenr^, V: we n-iT-t aIT re:r.e:nV-r V f tbe dinner was a!! right an,! srr -nt*~ enjoyed. and the great ? a*t of It ^-ai the kindly attention an-I service of the members: of the Calvin Crozier chapter who acted as waiters for the dinner, and the veterans were proud of the attention they received. v?Well, j these girfJ^rAiiow how, and ^hey do.^ ftnmo onp s?id that there were about 116 veterans who ^sat do^n to the dinner. And the?? were others who were entertained. And we were glad to see some of the wives of the veterans at the dinner table wit% their husbands. There was- Mother Sease1* ak>n? with Uncle Luke and Mrs. Ruff ?. O with Col. D. A. Ruff, and others. It was, as we have said, a happy sad. occasion. Happy because it is always pleasant for "comrades to meet toj i ?^ +oiL' onr? mino-le. and es geiitd auu UMB pecially those who went through trials and suffering together. And it 1 was sad, because we all realize that j some who were present will be ab- j sent at the next annual roll call. The editor * could not get to the opera house, and, therefore, did not have the pleasure, of hearing the address of Dr. White. Those who heard it say it was on? of the finest and best ever delivered on a similar occasion. ! That it contained thought, and tha^ t*ip word pa'ntmg 01 uie sptscttvei something marvelous,^ and the delivery fine. We are ^permitted * to print a synopsis or rather the lea<?^ in? thoughts of the address, a^ which were developed by the sff?aker in a pleasing and eloquent flow of beautiful language.- The foll^^ing is tV> svnopsis: ' ' i "fle f onfedern ?e Soldier fn tJifc LleMof the World War. 1.

'Henry Harms, president of Xewberry college, has decided to return to the pulpit and has heen called to a great church in Philadel\ phia. The fact that he has lived in ; South Carolina and will go to a:v . other state will serve to bring the people of these two states into closer , association and into better under standing. South Carolina is proud to . I have had Dr. Harms come here i i among us. He has- done a big work at Newberry college, and has been . regarded as one of the foremost citi- . zeng of the State. There is nothing little about Dr. Harms ana ae una 1 made a good record, a substantial progress and a lasting impassion in . South Carolina. He has been one o? the most enthusiastic and devoted in ? his Americanism, although so many of hi-s friends and associates in this state are descended from German . homes.

Figures Compiled From Book of 4-/v Cltivii' An 4- Tl t C vvAn I'illlJLd III 1 IC5C1U Ji/iupcusation to Soon Close. Pee Dee Advocate . Dr. J. Walter Daniel, who is now assisting his brother, Dr. Wm, W. Daniel, in a meeting at the First Methodist church here, devoted the first part of the week to interpretations of the prophecies in Daniel, Micah and Revelations. He conpiled figures to show that Daniel accurately foretold the time of the destruction .of Jerusalem and the com ing of the Messiah. Pursuing the calculations further, he demonstrated in the millenium, when the devil that the present dispensation will end in the year 1930. Dr. Daniel said that the great war of Anti-.Christ, of which the kaiser is a representative, will end before that time; that then shall be usher ed in the raillineum, when the devil shall be bound a thousand year3, jjthat he should deceive the nations no more till the thousand years should be fulfilled. .... and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years." "And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their 3words into pruning hooks; naikn shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither sha&rN"'they learn of war any more. "But they shall sit every man under his vine and u;ider his fig tree, and none shall mjke them afraid; for the mouth of tae Lord of hosts hath spoken it. "For aii nfinnlft will walK every ope in the name of his God, and we will walk in the name of our God for evervand ever. "In that day, saith the Lord, will T assemble her that halteh. and T will gather her that is driven out, and her that I afflicted. "And T will make her that halted a remnant, and her that was cast off a strong nation; and the Lord shall * * i rr: reign over tnem m -viuuni /-non uum henceforth, even for ever." Dr. Daniel sees the beginning in the fulfillment of the prophecy ia the recent capture of Jerusalem by the British, who are turning it over to the Tews; and this scattered and persecuted race is again gathering in Palestine, which the rains hav^ begun to make fertile aaain after a. drouth of 1800 years. The British, themselves, says Dr. Daniel, are descendants of the lost tribes of Israel, and the king of England can trace his ancestry to the throne of David. Dr. Daniel predicts that the temple will <be rebuilt in its pristine glory, by the beginning of the millenium in 1930. * The Hartford School Picnic.
