[continued from page one.] It has been aptly called an “ir repressible conflct.” And so It was. In the evolution of this great country and in its rapid rise to greatness it •" ooold not beotherwlse than that great issues would emerge. Issues that must be settled and settled quick, so that progress should not be retarded. Such Issues did in truth arise and could not bestopped short of the great Issue which culminated In that war iu whlcfi~ybu took so prominent a wrt. You, my friends, have a lively remem- — brance of It and of the result. Nor have we cause to regret because for- snoth the result was against us. The cause was Inevitable and you performed well your part of the great drama. You have been privileged to be the participants in the great struggle lor Qod pity the man who has never-seen the smile of the woman he loves.” A blind man said: “Justly see you, and then go blind agalmT lant old Confederate soldier, who had -starved to death in prison.» He had not seen his beloved for two years He was dylmr In that prison, and they V »r; H told hlmaiiiecoul44Lv^tj_get home go. in sight of the old home she came out to rafeet him, none other than proud of It. iiT Its traditions, proud of Its rles, proud of Its men, proud heroes. 1’roud of the great leaders It devel- Proud memo ir Its opened and proud of the men win* fol- luwcd them-unto death, Lee, proud of our Jackson, proudof el ? ed hal , of death< Aye, even 01 our Hampton. \ ea, and more, proud ^ n/ , llornr . a nu ,, v nr,-; Hampton onm those who wore the gray and who will go down through the annals of history unto generations yet unborn aslierocH worthy .of the great eaqi for which they offered their lives a willing sacraflee. ^ TONKCOUNT AND RECALL. It Is to give expression to such sentl- inents as these that we are now assem bled. It Is to do honor to the memory of those brave spirits who have gone before and to comfort and cheer those who still linger here. It is Mr recount and recall the memories of the past and once again take hope and move forward let us come together in the spirit of the soldier, who while brave In battle in none the less generous In peace; let us whfie cherishing the proud recollec tions of the past look with hope un abated to the future; let us, though now in the noon-tide of life when the shadows grow long and age with Its oft toftrmitle* grows upon us, still looking forward to the day when hope shall be swallowed up in victory and those of us who tarry shall yet witness the fruits of tills great travail. The truth of a “life through death” announced to a captious but inqillr-* log multitude of Him “who spake as never man spake” to one of his match less parables: “ r.xcept a corn of wheat toll Into the ground and die it abtdeth alone, but if it die It bringeth forth much fruit,” has. other significance titan the great spiritual truth with which the Master was then dealing. Yes this principle Is true In the whole realm of nature and fruit is the result of all true and noble sacrifice. When our flag was for.the last time furled and you returned to your homes and dear ones to witness naught but desolation and ruin It did indeed seem as thongh all Was lost and that the sacrlflce of blood and treasure which you had so freely made was indeed vain and waste. Looking, however, back through the vista of the one-third of a century we see that our great sacritice comes too within the realm of this great principle. .* a No, all has not inndeed, been lost, but. the great achievements- of the past have been eclipsed and will con tinue to be eclipsed by the greater achievements -o| the future. The rapid progress 1 and the material developement of our country bear ample testimony of this truth, and the fruit of this sacrifice will yet ba seen to one reunited country going for- ward step by step qntll it shall stand . foremost among the nations of the world. Survivors of this cause, you have been assembled to perpetuate Its mem ory and unto this reunion Columbia gladly welcomes you. At the request -of her good people and as there repre sentative I extend to you a most cor dial Wftidome. While with us may God’s protecting care be round about each of you, and when you shall bid us farewell may God be with you all till we meet Again. fe—- THE CITY’S WELCOME. Mr. Clark was followed by the Hon. Pott Sumter Earle, mayor of the div,. L who in a graceful speech gave the veterans a welcome to the city which . belongs to them. Bat the enthusiasm of tbe vet erans seemed to btvf been kept in check until Kim Elisabeth Lumpkin, wbo addressed tbs veterans last year, was presented by OapL Starling, Sbe had stirred the hearts of tbs old soldiers when first she came to them with a greeting and with a message of love from the sons and daughters of Confederate soldiers. Wednesday she deepened her hold upon the affections of the thinning ranks of gray. Fre quently she was made to pause be cause of the cheering of the enthusel and admiring auditors. Tiily.daughter of an •-•loquent father, reared In a home where the Confed eracy is reversed as a cause, holy and Imperishable, addressed the veterans as foil >ws: They have asked me to talk to you again. I am totalk to you as one ,of you, as belonging to you,. 1 thank God that I do belong to you—that I am one of you.- • There Is nothing stronger or more splendid on this wide earth than to have borne the sorrow you have borne, than to have endured tbe pain that yuu have endured for love’s sake; and for you we can say: “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for bis friend.” Avc, you fought and bled and died and lived for that cause, and though “We furled our flag In sorrow Nor could hope or comfort borrow, From the promise of the morrow. For that flag had ceased to wave, And we knew, no more defying Foes, we'd see It o’er us flying, tjs to cheer, and sooth the dying, For ’twas furled o’er Dlxie^s grave,’ we knew Uiat “Those who bore that banner loved it, And though conquered, they have proved It Upon many a field of strife. They have Uune It when ’twas riven, When by fiery tempests driven, h fought KoF Its tri 11 mph fought and st ri vCn, triumph i Add to shield its honor, given Heart and arm and blood and life.’ And tliough tiiey' pirr'TftTtrmp and death on you then, we who hold your names above all other names oh earth, not only remember those who “never came back,’’ but we give our hands In deepest reveremje to those Who did come back, to you among us now; and for every blow they struck you we give you glory; for every wound they made we gi ve you love; and upon your tired heads we place the crowns of victory. .■--I WOW'AM’S LQ£E. _ A woman's love Is the tenderest thing on earth and the most wonder ful. It crowns you like a diadem; It shines on you like a star Lam tM.ys were at her side, and “Oh. tluir I am at home and well again, well again, be loved!” he cried. Then he held out his arms, smiled and died. And that smile never left him—like inr angel of whit- on the conqueror's own tbronerand proclaim ing that there be earthly loves which “build their temple on the stormy brow of dissolution Itself.” of T raw a toiling s6JeRefl>end'lftg "down Footsore and cold* A soft hand covered him, his wounds > and scara ~fnr Daughters of South Carolina, our fathers' sakes we should love and honor these old men. My father fought beneath the Confederate fiag. And though without that glory, to crown his dear head. I would love aitd honor him above all men: still, with that heritage he gives me he must needs be a thousand fold greater to me. And there is one regret concerning the men we may love and marry—they cannot be Confederate soldiers! I had a ^“ftather be a woman than a matr. What To this end, as opportunity affo ds woman would not, if si she could be a AoutheftT'-woman and be loved by southenTmeu'/l But,there is a time I would h&ve heen a man.

I would know each one of you, when I meet you. We, your sons and daughters, should know you that we may do you reverence, for the mao who does not lift his hat, or the woman -who do®? not bow her head when she meets one of you is not worth of the name of southerner! , If I could write, 1 would write for you the finest poem ever penned. I would tell how men starved and died with a sob In their breast for their dear ones and the light of battle shin ing on their pinched faces. 1 would tell how Jonhs->n and For- rest and Cobb and Gordon and Hamp ton fought and prayed; I would tell how the women went through agonies that no man knew and “opened not their llns” 1 would tell all this—and I would tell something more. I would tell how the private fought; how he lay all night InTthe muddy fields: he fell where no man saw. He never came back and no man remembered— he came back and fought poverty, ruin, sometimes degradation for his dear ones at the hands of brutal men; he did all this, I tell you, and no man gave a helping hand, sometimes be cause no man could, but now we can and the men who loved and lived for Us we will stand by even unto death. Someone said that the souttodid not hate the north, and I pray God that time may come when some great poet will rise up and tell to blazing words that when tbe country had her qpar rel with England, through it did not oooosrn ths south, shs gave tbs lift* blood of her chivalry aod ttood by bsr northern brethren till the bitter end!

Rice 'Smith, a native of the Shenandoah and for 10 yeare a resident of South Carolina, and now State senator from Augusta, Ga. When Mr, Smith advanced to the front of the stage there was some con fusion in the hall.. “Speak louder,” several veterans called. “All right,” Smith, *‘as soon as I sorter get myself together.” He then told the story of the Confederate soldier on picket duty w1k> in the act of clean ing his gun was surprised by the officer Of the day. When chided for his lack of Interest In the regulation of war the private replied: “Well, you sorter wait until I sorter get my gun togeth er aijd I will sorter give you a sorter salute.” The joke was told in a way which gained the attention of the veterans, who listened attentively to the splendid presentation of tbe glory of the south and the causes leading to secession. He denied the charge that he had never held an office.

In responding to all of these mes sages of good will from the city of Columbia, from the business man and -from-the-women. Gen—Carwile said: “It becomes my pleasing duty, as the official head of these brave men who battled for their rights from 1801 to J806 and who are ever ready to take up the flag, to protect the honor of South Carolina—not only of South Carolina. Mr. Chairman, but our whole country. 1 ' When you touch this country the South Carolina veteran is willing" and ready to stand by her colors as they did from 1801 to 1805. Apd to you good people of Columbia, and you, Mr. Chairman, who detoted entertaining these people I have the honor to represent, wc as a man re turn to'yeoour most heartfelt thanks, and I say to you and^ to the good peo ple of Columbia, and to the ladies, God bless eaoh and every one. We will go home to our people and tell them how the good people of Columbia opened their home and hearts to the men who protected this-land, and in their behalf, Mr. Chairman, I return to you our heartfelt thanks for this reception.” - IN MEMORY OF THE DEAD. The convention, after being, form ally opened by Gen. Cajrwile, gave a tribute to the Confederate dead. At, the conclusion of the Reading of the tribute the vast audieft&> arose and voiced tbe grand response. “They died for their country.” The tribute itself was the glorious Inscription of Trescott which makes doubly graud the Confederate monument - which stands In front of the State house. -A-beautiful tribute to the women who sacrificed comfort,home and even the bread of life for the cause of southern rights, after which the ex- soldiers oT that great army responded: “God bless the women of the Con federacy.” It was more than the benediction of men now about to close the .chapel of life. It seemed that there was in that grand response an of the women of the Confederacy. YOUKO MEN HONOR THEM. Gen. Carwll« t!.en presented “the young man who has worked harder than any other; to make this reunion a success”—Mr, E. J. Watson, secre tary of the Qhamber of Commerce. Mr. Watson waa given a cheering re ception by. the veterans wbo knew of his efforts to make them have a good time. Mr. Watson paid a splendid tribute to tbe private soldier of the Confederacy.
