In spito of the wind and rain of thc day before, and tho threats of Its rc turn in the morning, over 2,500 peoph wcro in the town of Conway on the 6th 01 November, many of thom having driver ten to lifteon and even twenty-five miile to participate in the pleatsur-es of tle day. They came from the quiet 01 country homes to neet each other, the voterans to renew old friendships, their sons and daughters to form new ones. Old men came frnom the firesides to recail the camp ires of army life, from the plough handles to collect again the memories of a conlillct of arms. But one could readily read in the face and language of the veteran that the man of war had become en tirely a man of peace ; that in his mind sectional animosities have died away' as personal friendships of the war have grown the stronger in peace. The coniradeship that was incidental to the perfection of a machl ine of war has becomo in peace the central idea of an organized fratornity. A stand had been builit for the speak ers, wherc the voterans, their friends and attendants woro grouped to listen to speeclies from Geil. C. I. Walker, of Charleston, commandant of the South Carolina Division, United Confederate Veterans, and lieutenant colonel of the old 10th S. C. V. ; Judge J. H. Hudson, of Bennettsville, lieutenant colonel of the old 26th, both of which regiments contained coipanies from Horry. lion. Jeoi Smith, president of the Confederato Veterans' Association of llorry, iitirOduced Gen. Walker, who spoke in part as follows: Comrades and Fellow Citizens It was at, the sounding of the first toesin of war, when the 10th South Carolina regiment assembled at Canip Marion, that 1 first had the pleasure of mect ing a goodly number of the sons of Ilorry. During the long and intimato asociatiO of the four years during which I had the privilege of being with them, I often heard warm and (11thuistiJC descrij)tions of the beau ties and charms of Conway. They made me feel that I could not dio peacefully without having visited their town on the banks of the Waccamaw. Cir-cuistances have heretofore pre vented me from carrying out my wish to visit your lovely and venerable town. I have been a busy man, bur deneded with many business cares, so have not had the leisure given by either wealth or poverty. The invita tion from the UnitLed Confederiate Vet erans came at a time when 1 could, fortunately for me, accept it, and I am with you to enjoy your bountiful hospi tality. I am vWith you to gra1p the hands of those comrades of 1861-5 who havo honored me with their confidence, esteem and friendship. Thanks, coi rades, thanks, for your most hearty and brotherly welcome. Are we strangers ? If such a feel-ng found a momert's life in my hcart, your welcome would have banished et once. ilit not for a moment can it be said that the people of Ilorry and their brother Carolinians were other than the nearest of kin and dearest of friends. Ihave we not worshipped and fought for our dear old State, our 1om1mon mother? 1Has not over pulse of our heart heat in unison for her welfare and glory ? Have we not a common heritage in the great deeds which have illumined the proud escutcheon of South Carollna ? lleyond1 all this, which so intimately unites all the sons of South Carolina, there is a stronger tie, which drtaws mee closer andl closer to you, the goodi peolo of Hiorry. By the glorious dleeds of your heroes of the Con feder acy who were muy comrades; by the tcn decr care (If your fair daughters, whoc gently nursed to strength the sick andl woundled, my comrades ; by the dan gers, the trials, the victories and tie defeats which the gallant men of Com lanies B. C. G3. andl M. 10th South Carolina regiment, bravely met b~y my side ; by my very blood, mingled with that of the sons5 of [lorry, shed in deC fence (of our firesid1es, our women andl our God-given rights, I can always claim myself not a stranger to anyone in Hlorry, but a friend, a comrade, ai brother. ilecling thus, my comrades, of the many thoughts which the mere men tion of the 10th South Carolina regi. ment brings to my mind, I can not re strain myself from giving utterance t( a few of theso glorious memories ofa glorious plast. Never can I forget the associationis, the eyents, the li fe, 01 those thrilling days. At Camp Mar we had our play soldiering, however earnestly we may have heen working, p)reparing ourselves for an honorable and useful placo in that bloody d ramii of wvar in which we acted our part. It was there good, brave old Captain A. H. Johnson drilled his then un'drilled and undlisciplined men. There he and h is oflicers worked h ard to get thom into tactical shap3 and worked under(3 the greatest of d itliculties--they ham lirst to learn what they had afterwards to teach their men. There it was that Col. Manigault told hium to change thc direction of hiis comiipany's march, and, inot being up in tactical lore, ho quiet ly ordered, "' Cousin Armnidie, (all of Company C wer~e, I believe, brotherm or cousinus,) slant a leotle to the right.' But, afterwardis, when the enemy was In fronit, not Capt. Johnuson, not Cousim Arid~uie, not a man of Con-.pany C wanted to " slant," but they alwayu umarched straight forward towardi their foe.

But I ihavo yet to hea of I hei r faltering. I have yet to heur of their complaining. I have yet to hea- of their backing down before any danger which mortal man could overcome. I havo yet to hear of one who was not gloriously true to himself and his country. You, sons, daughtors and w ives, cherish this glorious heritage as the grandest lic rloom a noble father or husband could bestow upon you. I speak of those whose deeds I knew of, but I am sure, absolutoly sure, that of every Confederato son of Hlorry, I could say equally as much, and as truly as I have said it of the men who follow ed Manigalt and Pressley. In closing Gen. Walkor very forcibly said: My comrades. the war was not with out its blessings, and hard. hard as it was, from it was born a nation of free men, active, thoughtful, progres-ivo, earnest, who are to-day-excuso my portion of the egotism-the grandest race over created by God, and built up by this very hard and bitter struggle. God gI ant that the prosperity which now bemns in every part of our dearly loved and earnestly defended South ind may al ways find its brightest spot with you, my dear friends. These are only fragments of the splenltid speech Gen, Walcer gave the Veterans. 1 is strong presentment of the good results of the organ i z tion of the United Conlfederate Veterians will surely have their effect upon both our old soldiers and their sons; nor will the-y soon forget the General's clear cut and terse presentationi of the causes and elfects of the war. E;ven to the more thouigl tfuil the truth on these questions becomes clea-er in the purer and better inlluences of that peaceful and fraternal feuling which Con feder ate VOteran Associations foster and develop.

Old soldiers crowd(I d closer around the stand as he revived their already vivid memories of the.,c bioody times whien day and night they remialned under constant lire from the enemy. One could see a tear start in more than one eye when the memory of a fallen eomri-ado or a superbly gallant friend flitted through the mind. After the speeches dinner was serv ed to all the crowd. Four titbles, each at least three hundred feet long, were loaded by the generous citiz ens of Conway and Horry with a most temn ptinug i'epQast. '1he ueteran- clear ed it as they had many a heated bat tielleld and their families and friends proiting by tho eximiple, did their fal duty. Thee was enougih and to spare. After dinner the largo crowd gradually dwindle.d away, carrying home ech one vivified memories, re necwed friendships and the pleasant know ledge that th is was the most sue cessful aid erejoyable of reunion days at Coniw:ay. 1I1141 AltPL 11WOIC TAKING. Intecrrupltion ol' thle Nervous System Causes l'aralysis--Money Is thle Samne asi Nerve. The doctors tell us that paralysis is the loss of the function of motion from an interruption of nervous inIliuence. Trade, coimerce and inodustial pur suits have nerves, too, but t hey seem to he paralyzed. T'he sp)inail marrow is diseased and imiuseubliri power has become stag nant. What has caused this un natural cond(1ition) we knov' niot with any certainty, for the political doctors dIisagree, buLt it is believed by many that it is owing to the lack oif circulation of the blood--that is, a)f money, and that the demllonetiation of silver is at the bottom of it. Whatever it is, the paitient is in aL bad~ fix. The other day I rode out with a lady friend in the suburbs of Atlanta to look at somel of the cottage homes. She waniitedl to buy a home for herself, and we spent pairts of threi-e days in exaiin iig and1( pricing properties. There were hun dIreds oif t hem and they were cheap enough, but w hat struck me wias that a buiilding and loan companfy haid more for sale than anybody. This co~mapar~y had loaned money four' or live years ago) to imp lrov'o subiurban lots. They loaned not exceeding one-half the v'alue of the vacant lot andi have had to fore close their mortgages beCcause the bor rowieo coud no longer pay the Interest., and soi they bid in the property and have held it. hoping to get thiri money back, but they can't andl are now seek ing hunyors at less than the pi-operty cost them, and in some cases less than the origi nal loan. A lot that fou r or live yearis ago was wvorth $1 .000 and :aas on it IL house thaIt cost $li00 or $800( is olTfered( for $1 ,200, and1 perh aps $1,000) would buy it. T1he coin pany can standl it, but what hias toccomio of the poor fellow and his faamilyv I know no~t. They hiad hones atnd were looking for-ward to the Li me when their hum blo home wvoutld he0 pid for, but this paralysis overtook them andl swept their- home' and theirm hmopes- away. 'Thae MIerchants' llan k hasu long been r-egar-ded as one of the solidl, conser-vativye inostituitions of AtlanLa. but, it atdvanced money on reasl estalte andI coiuld not realize'. This is the condition all over the country. Tradoe Is paratlyzed, especially in real estate. l 'nanciers tell us that thmero is as much moniey in thme country as there ever- was, but it doues not move.

Tio civil war cleaned up the Souti 1r ,ty wellI. but in ten years it had rallied and in lif w e.a 'Nears hardly a traco of the war ecould bo found. Then let us not be alarmed at tle situation. If McKinley Is elected and a lIepublI. can Congress, and something is not done to relieve the people they will be ignominiously hurled frot power four year,; hence. Distress and discontent ar grow ing tin igs. While capital is all the timo concent-rating to the few, debt and discontent is spreading to the many. Capital wilt niot turn a wheel as long as it can bo loanued on mort gages at a good per cent. A few months ago some of our public spirited citizens detormined to build a cotton nill that would give employment to the child ren of the poor. Tho stock wias all sub scribed, but befroe any contracts were made tte times got harder and .onoy more valuable, and so one by one the stockholders dropped out and the mill died in childbirth But why worry about these things. T'here is no good senso in brooding over trouble. I had rather read a good book or plant out strawberrios or play with a grandchild than to talK politics. I was in Atlanta yesterday and was in troduced by a mutual friend to a mem ber of the legislature. He got the idea that I was an offlce seeker and asked me what I was running for. "Noth ing," said I, "nothing at all." le seemed relieved and said I was a curiosity and askod me for my picture. I will say this and can prove It: There are netter tuen out than in and always will be. When nigger Bob came back from the penitentiary, after serving his Limtle, he declared that "dar was some as ibad folks in dar as dar was outen dar and dar was some as good people outen dar as dart was in dar." lere are some mighty eever men holding olico and the people were plcased to honor them, but it is a rare thing for a modest gentleman to be clevated. The day of Cincinnatus will nuve return. 1i i1 j. A ii. IRIiLj A11P AF'IIt' TAKING. lie Is Tiredt of Elections and Says They Upset. he People anid Bring oi MeIntal Worry. It is a good time to writo sonmc more "meditations among the tomhb," or "an ode to melancholy," or a few verses like "This world is all a fleeting show." The election is over and the had neIws keeps coming and the heavens are weeping and everything is going wrong. Very cuy tihis morning I was sweetly dreaming, When thcre was a gentle rap at the doo and I thought, that )ossihly some friend or nabor had come to tell me that Bryan was elected, but the voice spake and said "Mammy say she can't come dis mornin'-she sick." Oh, my poor, bleeding country. No cook and the rain pouring down. Mrs. Arp made no sign, so I slipped out of bed and dre.;sed and tiptoed out to the culinary department. I fired up the stove and put on the hominy and the coffee and fed the cow and brought in sonie morO wood and got cverything ready for feminine hands beforo I awak ed tWhem. In course of time thev cane and maude the biscuit and fried tile ,aU sage and scrambled some eggs a11 we had a No. I breakfast and I f-lt bettera'. Sorrow cnduroth for a night, but joy cometh in the morning abut breakla.,t tim11. I felt caln and serenoe and dihi like Obadiah Oldbut;k always did when bad luck over'took htmn. I put on) aclean shirt, and went (Iowan town to r('joce with thtose who were rejoicing and to weep with those whio wept. Several dlays ago 1 hiad prep~~iareid my inid for' a defeat.

A man may thiink he is prepare'd foir ihe wor'se, but he ('an't cheat hi iisel f out of his wishes. M1y cornfort now is in ., vm pathizing wit) our' hero, in adir iing gr-ander of the man whlt)can now, ii ke Paul, exclaim., "'I have foutrht a good light, I have kept the fa ith."' The cominlg historian wvillI do himi justice and lie will irank with the gireat, menr of the nation.
