M. BELL AND MRS. M. U.
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.
The myrtle and the Ivy,
And the laurel and the pine
And placed above the faded ban- *
ners
And the urns of storied dust,
Fragrant canopies, dew laden
O'er the hidden forms of Gray. *
A bevy of children bedecked
with flowers, led by Mrs. Fred Cullum
preceeded tly line of veterans (
to the cemetery where after prayer '
and singing, with softened tread and !
hushed voices the little ones scattered
over sacred nroun.'s, sweet i
tribute of Love and Trust eloquently
voiced in bright hued language j
from the flowery kingdom, while
with bowed heads the serried ranks
of worn and tattered Gray with ^
memory and kept tearful watch ^
within the portals of God's Acre- c
No pain without its pleasure and
it remained for the reception of the t
W. 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. Then prater was
offered by Chaplain Rev. Joab LJwards.
A musical program dircc*
c.l by Miss A^nes Jones and Annie *
Gunter was delightfully ren lered by
a well organized chorus. Hut, it *
remained for the appearance of
1 Lieutenant, of Co. B. 14 S. C. Kcgi- (
[ ment. c
Hon. Jno. M. 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. U. Boatwright up- n
on the presentation of crosses cf y
