TnursDAY,E N-'91E OD SOLDERS' REUNION A Gala Day for Pickens-Great Day, a Great T'ne, a Great Speech Although it was the busiest .f the busy season with the far m-ners, a large number of them ame to Pickens Monday to take )art in the annual celebration n honor of the old Confederate -oldier. A conservative esti aate of the crowd would be from 1,200 to 1,500. At 10 o'clock Capt W. B. All good called the veterans to meet at a given point on Lewis street. and here 167 of them formed in line and led by the Pickens band and the Daughters of the Con -aderacy marched to the court house. A stand had been erect cd in front of the court house end seats arranged under the trees for the veterans The pleasures of the day were mniarred by the announcement, -n account of a recent death in le family of Hon W. T. O'Dell .e would not be able to be pres :at and perform the part as ,.gned him. The services of Hon. T. J. Mauldin were called .,to requisition to take Mr. 0' Dell's place. At 10:30 the laige concourse )f people was called to order and rayer was offered by Rev. G. . Kirby. General regret and disappoint ient was manifested when it was made known that on ac 'ount of illness Col. Robert A. Thompson, of Walhalla. the - rnly surviving signer of the Or inance of Secession, could not ie present. Col. Thompson is now very old and feeble, but the people of this county love him and feel a just pride in him, and many were the regrets that h-e could not be here. The speak - r of the day was Hon. Ira B. Joeof Lancaster former che utc eState su in~and now a candi gFovernor. - HON. IRA B. JONEs. KJudge Jones was presented ~amtid applause, and for 45 min uses held the closest attention of h .e large crowd. He stated that he was not an ol d soldier, for when the war c~osed he was only 13 years old, -ut that he had a deep, abiding ad reverent regard for the Con ~t veteranl, who was just - the pride of South Carolina *ad of the South and the admi 'ation of the world. It can, he said, be truthfully said that the a. nfederate army was the 'andest that ever walked the irth. -Here the speaker drew comparison between the ~uipmerit and strength of the *orthi and the South. giving many interesting figures which nnot be reproduced, but in ~ alth, he said, the North had billions of property against 3 lion in the South. In the un -aal contest we had no navy, hiile the North had hers well -:iipped. They had the means. den and equipment, while we ifered for the lack of these. e not only had to fight at chi great disadvantages but .d to face and fight 484,000 "eigners- and 186,000 negroes addition to the great host of arthern men. Their army out E mmbered ours five to one, or 5 .oe To add to our discomfi eo, medicines were made a matraband of war, and many Sou~r soldiers died for lack of 'icine. .They had better rail Ai facilities and could move thir men and supplies easier an more rapidly. -he wonder of the age is not ~t the Confederate army was rpowered and forced to sur _ der, but that, in the face of h overwhelming odds. th< y uld wage such a conflict for f:.r long years. The Southerner fought to pre scrve his liberties and constitu inal rights, said Judge Jones. TH denied that slavery was thei a~:se. Discussing -the legal< raht to secede, the speaker said: While it may be late to make I hav declaration, it is true, never- t less, that the states had thee riht to secede, and to do so was c ttreason." The North, he a red, had brought on the b cby the invansions upon a ts and liberties of the p and the South was forc- t< eup arms. y epaid a beautiful and C tr~it~ ~C roman, As long as there are I outhern women to bestow their >ve, sacrifice and patience, he t eclared. so long will we have )rave. chivalrous and true men. Jere the speaker was greeted &,ith a rousing cheer. These ioble women of the South toil- j xd, denied themselves, sacrificed nd suffered as no others ever lid. No race of people on earth 1 ver Showed more loyalty, sin cere devotion, patriotic spirit than did the Southern woman. Then he drew a picture of the ruined homes, the devastation, the chaotic conditions resulting from the awful conflict. In the face of these conditions the Sou thern soldier, true man that he was, returned to again build his home and regain his wasted property. But a serious situa tion confronted them. They found the scalawag, the carpet bagger and the robber in posses siot of the State government. This corruption must, be over thrown and the thieves driven out, and to this task the shat tered remnants of the old sol diers who had recently returned from the carnage of blood set themselves, and in 1876 the peo ple of the State were once more in control. And, said Mr. Jones, we can always depend upon the old Confederate soldier to redeem our grand old State from every effort at corruption and robbery. From the ashes of gloom and defeat has come prosperity, ad vancement in material wealth, in education and along all lines, and today we have a Greater South. The speaker was glad that Pickens county had contributed her share of the noble patriots who stood in defense of our country and was contributing now to her upbuilding and pros perity. He admonished the boys and girls to be faithful and true as their fathers and mothers had been, for the State and nation would always need true men and women. The lost words of the speaker were: "Duty to God is the first duty of man and of every good citizen, and when this is well done we can be as sured of duty well done as citi zens." It was a great speech and made a profound impressIon. Some were doubtless disappoint ed because he did not mention .politics. - Not once did he, refer to politics or even mention the fact that he was a candidate for governor. He handled the situ ation, the subject and the crowd judiciously and surprised those who were opposed to him, if any were present, by refraining fromn discussing political matters or in any way referring to Gov. Blease. It was generally con ceded that he did so nice, acted so gentlemanly, and made such a fine speech that he captured the crowd and left 1Pickens with many added to his already large list of friends in this county. BESTOWAL OF CROSsES At the close of Judge Jones' speech crosses of honor were be stowed upon the following: W H Ashmore, J W Bramlet, A R Craig, (John Craig). An drew S Davis, George W Earle, (Mrs Essie Findley Bud Evatt, William Crawford Harris T D Harris), Larkin Hughes, W S Kirksey, (Mrs Mary Tay S H Medlin, R N Martin, W lr), W T M\cFall, (Guy McFall, Iorn Simmons, Mrs Magaret Powers, W J Ponder, T E Reece. Ereeman), W T 0' Dell, J G T Meares, J B Neal. (Mrs W B Simmons, S P Brezeale, F G Hill S W Howard Joseph Reeves, E E Mauldin. Heretofore, the local chapter U. D. C., has bestowed 161 cros seb and added to these were those of Monday, making in all 181. It was announced that after No vember no more crosses could be had, and all old soldiers, or those entitled to them, who have not yet received them are urged to apply before that time. OPEN MEETING After-the crosses were given the meeting was thrown open to the veterans, and the first to take the st:and was Capt. S. T. Prior. He said the people would not expect a speech~ from him after hearing what they had from one whonm he hoped would be the next governor. He was proud that the old soldier had made such a glorious record in war and peace, and that they had lived such noble lives. He was glad that they had had a prominent part in making the history of the world and of re deeming the State in 1876- He hoped to see the day when Pick ens county would erect a monu ment in their honor and one worthy of their patriotism. He discussed briefly the pension aw and said he wanted to see the State give more money to the old soldier. The ranks are etting thinner,' and for this reason the State should do more Lie was heartily applauded. Mr. B. J. Johnsto iwas the 2ext speaker. He said he de-C sired to mention some things which had not been said. He -eferred to the (ld soldier grow ng oler, more dependent and 1 nore eeble and said the State hould give them more money n their need. This, he said. :ould be done by not being so avish with the public funds fort igher education. He thought he state was top heavy with 1 ducational institutions and the J ost of maintaining thenm was ar -reat deal more than had evera een given the old soldier. lie e dvocated an increase in appro- a iation for the old soldier so as t give each one at least $100 a ear. He declared, that South u arolina did not thintas much iorses and. cattle. Capt. J. A. Griffin next took he stand. He said he did not ret up to make a speech, nor to liscuss the pension !aw, He vas satisfied with whatever the state gave. He wanted to know f the old soldier could have his :ross of honor buried with him, md Mr. Mauldin replied that he hought he could, He then offered the following resolutions, which were unani mously adopted: Pickens, S. C., June 3, 1912 Whereas, since our last an naal re-union, many of our Comrades have passed over the river, some of whom were members of this Camp and some were not, and Whereas, we-desire to give ex pression to our sincere sorrow because of the separation, and we desire also to go on record in expressing our unfailing love and admiration for the soldiery that enduied so long and suffer ed so patiently, and yielded the contest so reluctantly: Be it resolved by Camp Gar vin, U.

That we respectfully re quest that these resolutions be printed in the Pickens Sentinel. and other papers of Pickens county. 4.
