Wilkes of Anderson Fi
Tribute To Jef i
My Friends ifnd ( onf?derale Com
rades: ..
No higher compliment can conic to
any man limn that of being accorded
the prtvltodgc and pleasure of par
ticipating ?oday in these sacred, in
teresting exeercises.
South Carolina, cooling lier brow
in tho pure air of her lofty mountains,
and laving her feet In the warm wa
ters of the Atlantic, and utilising the
brains of her SOBS and daughters,
will yet realize the dream of her ma
terial greatness.
And tho splendid people of this
beautiful growing city oi Anderson,
and of this hinorio old county, tell
us in unmistakable tones that ? in
honoring the presence of Confederate
soldiers here today, no token of es
loeiu eau bc too profuse, no mark of
respect can he too emphatic, and no
rendition of honor can be too con
spicuous.
Tho hand upon the dial cannot be
seen us lt moves, but lt does move
nevertheless and i:o curely, as lt
keeps pace with the circling sun, so
surety is tho fame and glory of these
Confederate Soldier? safe in thc hands
of these patriotic daughters of the
Confederacy.
All good people respect and admire
South Carotins for her glorious mem
ories, her gallant sons and ber fair
daughters. We love South Carolina
loo, for lier fertile fields, and her
desolate battle scarred old hills; we
lovo South Carolina Cor the rights
?HA has maintained, and for the suffer
ing she has enaured; we love ber fer
all of her brave men whose blood
stained almost every battle field, but
we love her best of all for the- sacred
dust she bolds of General Wade
Hampton, and'thousands of others
who su/Tcred and endured for-us.
Itererfs to .Stirring Days.
Reverting today to that period In
your country's history when this fair
land was submerged in war and
bloodshed and recalling its dangers
and discomforts, and its toils and Its
trials, oftentime with naught in haver
sack save porched corn, we would
not, if we could, blet out one day's
record from the memory. Over its
somber shadows fell then, and falls
now, that light that comes to every
heart in tho path of duty. There
cortes, too, across the waste of yearn,
a jiision of that knightly soldier,
Saime) M. Wilkes, adjutant of the
.ttl South Carolina Regiment, who
yielded' up his young and promising
lifo on tho altar of hi? country in the
first battle of Manases. Methinks
wu see him now aa he rode-the lines
with the light of hattie in his eyes and
the thunderous charge upon his Ups.
He rode tuto our hearts, the imper- '
sonstion of chivalry, and he tides
there still.' These-cuff buttons in n.v
cuffs, with the palmetto tree and the
coat of arms of South Carolina on
tholr face, are valued far beyond the
computation of dollars and cents be
cause, they aro tho buttons that were
taken from the Confederate grey coat
worn by Adjutant Wilkes. His deeds
and virtues- are being perpetuated and
sacredly guarded by his worthy son,
Colonel Samuel W. Wilkes of Atlanta.
Thc body of Adjutant Wilkes waa
hurled In your cemetery here, and
rests today beside that of bis beloved
wife, one of thc sweetest and noblest
women I have ever known.
As long as lookout Mountain rears
Its head above the bloody plains of
Chickamauga Uko the Chimbarazo of
the Andes, so long will th? sacrifices
of such men remain bri'jht upon the
pages of history:
' Confed?rate Army Superior
The world's histories fail to give
an aeon nt of any army under sod
general, on any field, that equals thc
Confederate Army. It was that army
whose first shot, fired at Fort Slim
tor, In your State, in 1861. that echoed
at the throne of royalty the world
over, and wan muffled Into fret dom's
song In every household where the op
pressor's heels was felt, and1 you, my
comrades, who composed that army,
you gave Manas sss to Beauregard;
you woro the music of tb? battle of
Soven Pines into laurel wreaths for
Joseph E. Johnston, and you caused
the waters of the Chlcamauga to
murmur eternally, the name of Brau
ton Bragg. It ls beyond the - teach
o' either brush or chisel to redeem to
thc Imagination such scenes and such
med aa shine forth in the history ol
the 2500 battles and combats of the
Southern war. and not until sonic
now-born Homer shall touch Ute harp
can mankind be penetrated by a
i sense of tuolr heroic deeds, and then

In ray imagination I have sean Na

When truth prnrentod Justice to
tho world, the ntuoHtccnt gift was
adorned with flowers tat- lore uud sen
timf ut. Since that period patriotic
sentiment hau been the ruling spirit
! with the liberal-loving people of all
I the nations. Sentiment eras the force
[that directed the liberated bird-or the
ark to return with a tender sprig in
witness of a receding > flood, giving
notice lo tho long imprisoned family
that. Ute time was at band for the i
tremendous work ot rehabiltation.
Sentiment provided a shield of bull
rusher for tho babe of destiny, and
gave to Moses, the deliverer, the
magic, power to save his people
through the divided waters of thc
Red Bea. Sentiment gave to Damon
his unyielding devotion for Pythias,
and led Joan of Arc to.sacrifice the
?life of n heroine on toe.miter ot her
country's love; sentiment nerved the
noble manhood of the South to sacri
fice life and fortune in defense of a
cause righteous as heaven is just! It
nerved tho noble womanhood of thc
South to Buffer untold privation? in
cheering on to battle and to carnage
roi di er y whose honor was the halo of
thc home, and whose patriotism was
the erected glory of the fireside; lt

the saffron robe, woven front. angelic
tears, that is thrown around the
wasting form of old age, as a protec
tion against the cold blasts of winter;
it causes the heart-springs to play
hide and soek around the sweet mem

sentiment, coupled"with the pleasant
duty, quickens - our footsteps in hasten
ing to accept the kind invitation to be
bare today, enaltes us again to look
