I'remember in the winter o* 189* a* an.?peer, of, a South Carolina regiment one of the spectacular ??enes of war times. The President of the United Btatea; technically the commander Uvohiaf of 4hc army, Ute lamented Wlli?un McKinley, came to Savannah. "Oa. to review the troops aeeembled there Zor.serv?ce.

The name Lee,'Ute name of our own incomparable leader of the ''lost Causa," waa a magic name to me. hallowed by memories that wcjId.have inspired ?ny South Carolinian to fight *pr Jala country.
