I ■' '-*5S vm ^tandari \ > X VOL. XXIX. WALTERBORO, S. C, JUNE 19, 1907. REV. F. O. S. CURTIS NO. 45. Write* of the Confederate Reunion a* Richmond, Va. Editor Pre^sand Standard: - You ask of me a difficult task to describe the review Confederates in Rich mond, I would not attempt that. The hundreds multiplied into thous ands would testify to their devotion for the cause they loved better than life itself. The city was full to over flowing and never before did the grey so predominate. In these years so long ago past it was thought that the reunion was not essential, but the io : dier Is clad in his suit of grey as never before, and as the lines grow less the jacket of grey will 1*0 seen the oftener. The old men arc fast passing away, nevertheless sev eral thousand were in attendance, and especially was this .«een in the large number of cels, in fact officers right. If precedent is a guide,’ if argument has any convincing force, if approving conscioned any solace, if subsequent approbation by those who once disagreed with him, any justification, if duty magnificently performed any indication then we can assert with out fear of successful contradiction that the Confederate soldier fought and died for what he knew to be right. ” I would linger a moment among the boys at “Camp Gordon.” 5,000 were there living in camp, j Excellent fare was given them and they lived over the camp days of the ’GO’s. Many will never meet again, i some were meeting for the first time in over forty years and many a loving embrace and hand grasp was given in token of love’s remem-1 brance. Old tattered battle fags were here MORE ANON WRITES or Drum*. Fife* and Photograph* -A Delightful Fish Fry—Personal*. ' (Written for last week.) Editor- Press and Standard:— “Music hath charms,” and it ironly a question of industrial taste I know, but 1 draw the line at the “drum,” The other elements of Uncle Sam’s large family “saw’ fit to have a Sun- Mv) U day school picnic, thought “noisa” constituted picnic and pleasure which must have reached the super lative degree if “noise counts for a lything. “Drums”5are a nuisance. I’d like to consign them to their proper place. Now the “drum'’ has retired and we have “photographs,” but the music is lovely.
