UiS unattractive duties Of. moavionous camp , lite that test th? endurance and character of the soldier more then the danger of actual fighting. 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. I was then a very yonagj man. pnly twenty and quite proud of being an ofllcer In the service ci my country, prouder still that it was my privilege to .serve under, a veteran gen eral of the greatest war in history, Oeh. FUt Hugh Lee. 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. I remember the tunrilal ardor that sang in my heart' as my ewo'rfl lifted io salute to the President and the thrill of pride and ex-: Mltatton that possessed me when the President returned Ute salute with bared haad.> I remember the,splendid night of 80,000 troops passing In review that day.-the measured tread of regiments of tntantr^ rumble of artillery and'blending with t: all ti. cheers of the thousands of spectators along the ?

And still another scene ia always linked In my memory with tho contempla tion of war and like the boy who wanted to go 4u war when he looked.upon Mb 'grandfather's s word and cooled down whou he raw his grandfather's wooden leie.

The yofe* officer at my side'grew weaker- In every <?t:-there was a soldier and a battle and still the fever raged: unconquered throughout the camp.
