BOAT WRIGHT MADE INSPIRING SPEECHES. Year by year, the return of May 1 10th, Decoration Day with its memorial exercises, pathetic in the ob- ( servance, impresses the fact that, the most inspiring way of writing 1 history is in the expression of love and gratitude for the precious heri- ] tage left by martyred heroes. So as vestals tending the fiies of j patriotism the W. D. C's. of Batesburg in the spirit of that noble race of Southern women who suffered ' in the epoch of war, brought at the , hands of youth and beauty.

D. C's. represented by Mist t Lizzie Galium, assisted by M.\ s Katherinc Cullum to restore the .c1crans sense of cheer, with th ; c erous welcome to the further oxer j cises at the Hall.

Bell, with, his interesting reminiscences of hard fought battles upon the fields of , carnage from Port Royal's Ferry to Appomattox to revive the embers of loyalty and rekindle the glow of v united comradshlp among the fast v thinning ranks of living heroes, a- ^ bout whom hovers still the air and a glory of an unchallenged patriotism. Dr. B. H. Teague of Aiken was t orator ot the day and his comtr.em- v, oration or deeds of valor in lines of v poetry was eclipsed only by the tribute paid the veterans by Pres. of \ Chapter, Mrs. M.
