Resolutions Adopted
By Old Soldiers
The following resolutions were unani
mously adopted by the Confederate
veterans at their annual reunion in
Pickens June 3:
Whereas, since our last meeting, in
annual reunion, many of the veterans
of Pickens county who have been wont
to assemble with us on June the third
and partake of the hospitalities ac
corded us and renew old associations,
have passed over the river and gone to
their final reward, and we desire to
pay our last tribute to them in recog
nition of their courage as soldiers and
their loyalty to the best traditions of
our country as citizens:
Be it resolved by the United Con
federate Veterans of Pickens county,
in annual meeting assembled
That we deplore the loss of our corm
rades who have gone before us.
That we extend to their families our
sincere sympathy in the loss sustained
by them, which loss we sorely feel.
That, recognizing the transient na
ture of this life, we commend their
loved ones to the fatherly care of Him
who doeth all things well, and rejoice
with them in the consciousness of hav
ing enjoyed the companionship of men
Whose lives have been an inspiration te,
the younger men of the country, and t
benediction to all the people.
Following is a list of veterans who
have departed since June 3, 1917, so
far as the same has been officially as
certained: David Hendricks, T. F. Net..
son, Peter C. Thomas, Theodore Smith,
Josephus Chapman, Benjamin Holder,
T. L. Norris, -henry Lewis, Harrison
Rigdon, Garrison James, John A. lUg
gims.
Whereas, the Ijnited States is in
volved in one of the bloodiest wars in
the history of our c( untry and of thu
world also.
And whercas, it is the duty of every
citizen that, is a loyal American to do
all that is in their power to help bring
this war to a successful and victorious
end. And whereas, we realize the
awful burden of responsibility that
rests upon the presidentof these United
States of ours, and how much he needs
the prayers, sympathy and support of
all the people. Therefore be it re
solved:
1st. That we, the old Confederate
veterans of Pickens county, S. C., in
annual convention assembled. while we
are too old to cross the sea a11(1 take up
arms again in actual service, we hereby
pledge to give him our prayers and all
the encouragementI. that we can.
2(d. That should the time ever come
that the German horde ever set their
tyrannical feet on American soil that
we pledge to the president our very
best services, and if necessary our lives
for our country.
3d. That we call upon all of our
countrymen to cease not, (lay or night,
to call upon God Almighty to guide ar.d
direct our leaders at. the front and at
h~ome, andl everywhere they may be, in
thlis diark hour of our country's history
that thle bloodiest of wvars may speedily
!omelt to an end.
This (done in our annual convention at
P'ickens, S. C., on June 3d1, 1918.
Whlereas, we realize that the old Con
federate soldiers are fast passing
aaand a great many of them by
reasn ofoldage ar~e incapacitatedl for
manual labor;
And whlereas, our state has never
done what we think she should have
dLone ini the p~ast.
Thlerefore heC it resolved by the Con
federate veterans of~ Pickens county in
ounr annual convention assembled -
Tlhat we wihi not support any man for
ofiee in Pickens eaunty or' the :tate of

pension.
That a copy of this resolution be sent
