Anil now in your declining years :ind

my old comrades, whom 1 loved, whom
I trusted and with whom I felt as
safe as 1 do now, I want to say to you
all that all the love you have given mo
has been more than reciprocated; thpl
all that 1 have evr been able to dc
for you, for any one of you, or I'm
South Carolina, bus been more thau
repaid by the honors you have unso
licited conferred upon -me and by this
the crowning honor of my life. 1 may
not see you again. i remember a story
of an old bishop who whmi ready to
retire from public life went to the ab
bot and said:
"rather Abbot, an old man whosn
heart is brolen by the storms of state
in come to lay his weary bones anion a
you.
That is all .1 j*fiall ask of South Caro
lina ? a few fort of earth whom my
kindred for six generations are re.-it
ing. And I am proud to say thai on<
or more of each generation since (li^
were known In South Carolina h*is
filled a bloody frravo for Souih Car?!i
na. ^Applause.) I claim no credit
for that. Kvery South Carolinian who
was true was wiljing to give his blood
and h's life for the old State. 1 am
sure thai 1 wag,^willing to do r,o. J
think 1 e:>:i say so to y.v.i, my men,
that I never turned my hack upon nny
of you when your face* v.or?> t.lined
toward the enemy. The greatest honor
t':at 1 felt during the war was once
when I came upon a poor prlvarc, who
was dying. I stopped b;?si lo him and
he said: "I am happy lo <11? lighting
andU am proud to dte fighting un-ier
you."
1 pray that flod .will bler.j you Jind
will give yon peace and prosperiiy,
give It to the old State, give it to each
one of you and that you will go home
and teil your kindred that you have
seen your old comrade and that ho
thanks you for them.
