[CONTINUED TKOM TAOK ONE.] j
It has bceu aptly cu)lo<l an "ir- \
represslble euntlet." And so It. was. ,
In the evolution of this great country (
and to Its rapid rise to greatness It (
could not 1h>othorwise than that great ,
Issues would eiuerg?\ Issues that 1
must bo settled and sot lied quick, so h
that progress shoul 1 not bo retarded.
Such issues did in liuth arise and
could nut, be stopped short of the, great
Issue wldoh culmiual'd in that war in
which you Look so prominent a part, i
You, my friends, h ive a lively reincm- !

The cause was Inevitable and you
performed well your part of the ureal '
drama.
Vou have been privileged to be the \
participants in the great struggle for
right and troth and you should he 1
none other than proud of it. Proud '
of its traditions, proud of its memo- !
Ties, proud of its men, proud of its '
heroes. 5
Proud of the great leaders It, (level- '
opened and proud of the men who fol- '
lowed them unto death. Proud of our f

our Hampton. Yea, and more, proud (

for which they olTercd tiielr lives a

TO RECOUNT AND ltKCAtt. '
It is to give expression to svi h sentiments
as these that we arc now assembled.
It Is to do honor to the memory .
of those brave spirits who have none t
before and to comfort and cheer those
who still linger here. It is to recount
and recall the memories of the past
and once again take hope and move
forward.
To this end, as opportunity a fiords,
let us come together in the spirit of
the soldier, who while brave in battle
in none the less generous in peace; let
us while cherishing the proud recollections
of the past look with hope unabated
to the future; let us, though
now in the noon-tide of life when the ,
shadows grow long and age with Its .
oft, Infirmities 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 j
the fruits of this great t^ivail.
The truth of a "life through death"
announced to a captious but inqulr- j
lug multitude of Him "who spake as ,
never man spake" in one of ids match- (
less parables: " Lxcept a corn of wheat |
fall Into the ground and die It abideth (
alone, but if it die it bringeth forth |
much fruit," has other significance
than the great spiritual truth with
which the Master was then dealing.
Yes this principle is true in the t
whole realm of nature and fruit is the )
result of all true and noble sacrilicc. I

and dear ones to witness naught but ?
desolation and ruin it did indeed seem ?
as though all was lost and that the }
sacrifice of blood and t reasurc which '
you had so freely made was indeed
vain and waste.
Looking, however, back through <
the vist a of the one-third of a century 1
we sec that our great sacrifice comes (
too within the realm of this great '
principle. 1
No, all has not inndeed been lost, 1
but the great achievements of the
past have been eclipsed and will con- 1
tinuo to be eclipsed by the greater '
achievements of the future. The
rapid progress and the material (
developement of our country bear '
ample testimony of this truth, and
the fruit of this sacrifice will yet lae 1
seen in one reunited country going forward
step by step until it shall stand '
foremost among the nations of the 1
world.
Survivors of this cause, you have
been assembled to perpetuate its memory
and unto this reunion Columbia 1
gladly welcomes you. At the request 1
of her good people and as there repre- |
nviiuubi vi: i, I'Aieuu to you a IUOSL COl'- 1
dial welcome. While with us may 1
God's protecting wire he round about '
cacli of you, and when you shall bid 1

Mr. Clark was followed by the lion. 1
Fort Sumter Earle, mayor of the cltv,
who in a graceful speech gave the '
veterans a welcome to tlie city which 1
belongs to them.
hut the enthusiasm of the vet- 1
erans seemed to have been kept in 1
check until Miss Elizabeth Lumpkin, (
who addressed the veterans last year, '
was presented hy Capt. Starling. She 1
had stirred the hearts of the 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 alTectlons
of the thinning ranks of gray. Frequently
she was made to pause he- ,
cause of the cheering of the enthused f
and admiring auditors. ,
This daughter of an eloquent father, ;
reared in a home where the Confcd- |
eracy is reversed as a cause, holy and (
imperishable, addre sod the veterans |
as foil jws: ,
They have asked me to talk to you 1
again. I am to talk to you as one of (
you, as belonging to you. 1 thank God
that 1 do belong to you that 1 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 the pain that i
you 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 his friend.'' Ave,
you fought and bled and died and lived
for that cause, and though
"We furled our ilag in sorrow
Nor could hope or comfort borrow,
From the promise of the morrow,
For that Hag had ceased to wave,
And we knew, no more defying
Foes, we'd see it o'er us flying,
lis to cheer, and sooth t he dying,
For 'twas furled o'er Dixie's grave,"
we knew that
"Those who l>ore that banner loved it,
And though conquered, they have
proved it
Upon many a field of strife.
They have borne it when 't was riven,
When by fiery tempests driven.
For its triumph fought and striven,
And to shield its honor, given
Heart and arm and blood and life."

opened by (Jen. Carwlle, pave a
ributc to the Confederate dead. At
he conclusion of the rcadinp of the
ributc the vast audience arose and
'oleed the prand response. "They
lied for t heir count ry."' The tribute
tself was the plorious inscription of
Prescott which makes doubly prand

lands in front of the State house.
A beautiful tribute to the women

of that prcat army responded:
"Cod bless the women of the Coned

(Jen. Carwllo then presented "the

of the Chamber of Commerce.
>1 r. Watson was given a cheerinu reeption
by the veterans who knew of
lis efforts to make them have a good
lmc. Mr. Watson paid a splendid
rihute to the private soldier of the
Confederacy.
MR. .1. RICH SMITH, I'RIVATK.
(icn. Carwlle presented to the veteans
one who was not a general, not a
uajor, not a captain, not a lieutennt,
merely a private, and when he
ras made a corporal just before Apponattox
Gen Lee was forced to surrenler
to save the army Mr. .1. Iticc
Smith, a native of the Shenandoah
aid for 10 yearc a resident of South
Carolina, and now State senator from
lugustu, Ga.
When Mr. Smith advanced to the
rout of the stage there was some collusion
in the hall. "Speak louder,"
everal veterans called. "All right,"
eplied Mr. Smith, "assoon as I sorter
[et myself together." lie then told
lie story of the Confederate soldier
in picket duty who in the act- of dealing
his gun was surprised by the officer
if the day. When ehided for 11is lack
if interest in the regulation of war
lie private replied: "Well, you sorter
v it. nnl.il 1 surlor rrr?t
P,..v fS 1?11 iAi(i;ui/Ur
and I will sorter give you ;i sorter

vldch gained the attention of tlie
retcrans, who listened attentively to
he splendid presentation of tiie glory
>f the south and the causes leading to
iceession. He denied the charge that
ic had never held an olllce. Some
,ime after the war he was coming
rom Virginia on a trip. When he
fot to Wilmington he was called
'Cap'n Smith"; at Charleston it was
'Majah Smith"; at Atlanta "Colonel
Imith." He wrote home, "Promo,lon

Swore it should forever wave;
Swore that foeman's sword should
never
Hearts like theirs entwined dissever,
'Fill that Hag should (lout forever
()'er t heir freedom or I heir grave!
Furl it! for the hands that grasped it,
And the hearts that fondly clasped it,
Cold and dead are lying low;
And that Manner it is trailing!
While around it sounds t he wailing
Of ils people in their woe.
For; t hough conquered, they adore it!
Weep for those who fell before it!
Pardon those who t railed and tore it!
Milt who furl and fold it so.
Furl that Manner! True, 'lis gory,
Yet't is wreathed around with glory; ,
And 'twill live in song and story,
Though its folds are in the dust;
For its lathe on brightest page;,
Penned by poets and by sages.
Shall go sounding down the ages
Furl its folds now we must.
Furl that Manner, softly, slowly!
Treat it gent 1 j it is holy
For it droops above the dead.
Touch it not unfold it never,
Let it droop there, furled forever,
For its people's hopes are dead!

Four negroes were killed in a race
I riot in New Orleans Saturday night.
The negroes armed and threatened
violence because one of their number
was beaten. The whites met them
and a pitched battle ensued with the
result of the death of four of the
negroes. Peace was then restored and
the trouble Is over.

A Weak \

P
Indlgostlon Is often caused by overeating.
An eminent authority says
the harm done thus excoeds that from
tho cxcesslvo u?o of alcohol. Eat all
the good food you want but don'toverI
load the stomach. A wealc stomach
may refuse to digest what you eat. 1
Then you need a good digestant liko o
Kodol, which digests your food with- r
out the stomach's aid. This rest and /
the wholesome tonics Kodol contains t
soon restore health. Dletingunneces- ?'

ing of fulness and bloating from I
which some peor'e suffor after meals, n
Absolutely cures indigestion.
