(\ MEMORIAL ADDRESS (Continued From First Page. > the end of the war the number mus tered in had risen to 71,088 from the State. The white population of South Caro lina. In 1800. was 470,257. We are told that the present war In Europe is the most terrible in the nistory of the world, and that (Jer* many is facing a more horrible strain than has ever before rested ujx>n a nation at war, and that she cannot bear up under It much longer. She has h population of 70,000.000. and has never had in the field at one time I robably as many as 5,000.000 men, and this after u generation spent . in pre pa ring for the greut war that they believed must some time eome. South Carolina in one year had in the field more than half as many ugain in pro|M>rtion as Germany has ever had. and without any previous preparations for war. South Carolina in the whole war furnished l<r> per cent of her white population to her armies, or more than twice the proi>ortion that is consider ed possible for Germany to furnish. If the same undaunted and unconquer able spirit is shown in the present war, as was manifested by the South in the Confederate War. years have yet to pass before the titanic struggle now in progress shall be ended. And how was It possible for South Carolina and her sister States to fur nish tills enormous proportion of their people? Only betiiuse this war was not foisted upon a people by the gov ernment. but was the spontaneous out burst of the people themselves. They had broken the tie that bound them to the other States, asserting for thorn selves the ri^ht of freedom of action and with the puntyse to found a na tion of greater liberty of State action and higher ideals of citizenship. The people felt that their State govern ments had acted within their rights, ami they could not brook that the United States government which they had left should coerce or Invade them. Hut oh ! the terrible cost at which they asserted their manhood and inde j>eiidctice ! Charleston county had about .'{.7o voters in lsf.o. she sent upwards of o.ooo men into the army. In nine mouths after war was declared Pick ens county had sent 11 companies and i six more \ver?? ri-iiijy Horry had out of 1 .< x to voters sent men. Kershaw counts is said to have furnished more than she had voters. And so it went. Kver> man that could j,'o. left, without waiting for compulsion or conscription. How they suffered on account of the lack of preparation of the South for war! Soiie-t im?>s they remained when onlUted in camp for months before they received either guns or clothing. Some companies from this county after weeks of waiting in camp here, went to Virginia without arms, and after they n*>t there were provided in part with double barreled shot-guns, the rest were given no weaj>ons. but had j to wait until their comrade* went into battle, and then were exacted to use j the guns of those who fell, or the guns that were captured from the ene J my. The South was |tooriy provided with railroads and the farms at home were left in the hands of negroes, and In the hands of the women and chil dren. It soon l?ecame im|x>s.Hlble to properly feed or clothe the armies. The HU{>ply of medicines ran very low, and could n<rt bo replenished. And yet, in the face of these difficulties, ' with opposing forces of four times their number, the South fought on nnd on until the world stood by and wonder* ed, and until their armies had won the respect and admiration and Almost the envy of the armies that opposed them. And of what material were these Southern armies composed? Bona at men who numbered their slavfs by the bund rod fought hide by wide with those who owned nothing. Men who hud never known necessity or waut trudged along With those who hud been forced all their live* to toughen tliolf mu.solc.s by dntly ton. The young aristocrat who r<nle t ?? bin death with the knightly (tearing of his Has# found [that in* <*??uld not* c\cell the ('ourage of his ??aim neighbor from the back I woods who faced the tW by his side. ' *And this, my friends. Is the great record they have left!. This is the proud heritage ihey have bequeathed 1 1? us ! . '? The grand nation whleb they had ho| hmI to found was broken aud shut tered. The flag which for four years they had Hung to the winds was torn ! and dragged In the dust. Thousands j of the best and bravest lay burled In nameless graves. it would s?H'in that they had failed moat .pitifully. Vis. hut In their material- defvat they achieved a grander spiritual vic tory than they had dreamed! Thoj Mouth in her struggle did what It would seem mere men could not do. In their achievements they made to live once more the grand Ideals of the human race In patriotism, and demotion, and courage and endurance. The sovereignty they served was soon swept away, but they did more In that service than any other j>eo ple have ever rendered In the history of the World to ^iny allegiance. "Ah, realm of tears? but let her bear This blazon to the end of time No nation rose so white aud fair None fell so pure of crime." And to us the proudest thing of all Is that these heroes were our heroes. We are Ih>iic of their hone aud flesh of their Mesh. The same blood that steeled their hearts flows In our veins. Of all the days of the year this Me morial Day should be our proudest festival, and the old men who once formed a part of the long grey lines of heroes should he honored and rev erenced by us all. Oh, how sad it is to see this little remnant of the once mighty armies. Time has been more deadly among thein than foeman's shell and the cold miasma of the battle field. Our minds turn backward, and we call over to ourselves the long roll of those who have met with us here year after year ? gone, gone, gone. Old men now, every one. Even we young meu can remember when those who marched In the ranks of the vet erans were the ones who were bearing the burden and heat of the day among us. Now strength has failed, heads are bowed, feet falter. Fifty-one years have passed since they first heard the rattle of the drums and the roar of the cannon. At first none were ad mitted Into the armies under eighteen years of age. Those mere boys with the clear eyes and downy cheeks of youth who answered that first call have now passed their three score years and ten. Those who anmrered the last call in 1N65, the slender lads of fifteen and sixteen, are now close to the allotted apaii, oi<j ^ but ??
