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 ^
