The proclamation reads: "For a generation we have adhered ^ to the fitting and beautiful custom of observing the 10th day of May each year as a time for recalling to our E minds the great deeds done and the tgreat sacrifices made by soldiers of R the' Confederate States army. By v means of these memorial exercises w we have not only shown the living ^ veterans our appreciation for their tl dead comrades, but h^ve also received * an inspirational value to ourselves, Koincr stimulated to hierher things byi c recalling the noble acts of our for- e bears. a "Now it has chanced that in the t] march of human progress another T war has been necessary and in this si latest war the sons and grandsons of d the Confederate army veterans went T forth, even as their fathers, and F grandfathers did, offering all, and ^ many of them giving all, for a cause n they believed to be righteous. Ameri- 1 can Legiqn. of South Carolina, P speaking for the soldiers of the world tl war, have expressed to me their de sire to participate in the lorincomnnc jy Memorial Day celebration, to join in paying homage to the fathers and grandfathers of the soldiers who | fought in the recent war and, at the | ? same time, keep alive the memory + of their own comrades who died in < p the cause of liberty. j fl "It seems to me, therefore, that i ^ the approaching 10th day of Mayjs might well be observed as a time for q memorializing the accomplishments ^ both of the South Carolina Confeder- a ate States soldiers and of the South Carolina world war soldiers, the vet- s erans of each war uniting in the sol-: a fowmnnial of oavincr tribute to'y the men who died for sacred causes. 1 "Therefore, I, R. A. Cooper, Gov- ^ emor of South Carolina, do proclaim ? the 10th day of May, 1920, as a p joint Memorial Day to all the sons of South Carolina who have died either! j in the War Between the States or the rf>rent world war. fighting for causes j to which this State was and is de-jr ; voted." t i I i ! len Yoi ( stinghouse luplicated. ever we have them e. :he current is to be cooking before you rrent at .the proper for any certain arti[ you have to do is to 1 the dial and when it : or you can set the etching. ng becomes an exact' o need to buy a regu BLIND YOUTH" AT THE OPERA HOUSE WEDNESDAY "Blind Youth," by Lou Tellegen nd Wjjlard Mack adapted for the Kir VotViorinp T?ppH. will be at LICCU VJ *??
