Lee chapter of Lie United Daughters of the Confederacy of Clin ton to the Kershaw chapter of Lau rens. Concert by Hand. After the regular programme, the Nowberry Concert band, under Di rector W. A. Wherry, gave a delight ful concert on the court house square. The veterans were also entertained at dinner and many courtesies were shown them. The exercises, held from a spacious and elaborately decorated stand locat ed between the court house and the monument, began at 10::;? with prayer by Rev. William 10. Thayer. pastor of the First Baptist church. lion. C. c. Featherstono, who had been requested by the Daughters of the Confederacy to act as master of ceremonies, then made the address of welcome in the following words: Ladies and Gentlemen: Laurens has been a little slow in erecting a monument to her gallant Confederate dead. Her patriotic sons and daughters have realized for a score or more of years that she was not as enterprising along that line as SOlUe of her sister counties. This lack of enterprise was not due to a want of patriotism, nor to a want of lovo and reveranco for the gallant sons of Laurens who laid down their lives for lb Confederacy, but rather to the fact that no one was found who would Inauguarto the monument movement and push Itf orwnrd to sue cess. Several years ago. at Langslon's church, .'ust after the Confederate re union exercises had been held, the movement was first iliaugunrted and took on substantial shape. Mrs. Rosa FoOSllO Hell took the matter In charge and since that time she and the ladies of the .1. I!. Ker shaw chapter, United Daughters of the Confederacy, have worked in sea son and out for the accomplishment of their laudable purpose. The result of their faithful labors is In evidence today in the shape of the beautiful monument which we have today met together to unveil.

We welcome our guests the governor of the State and the dis tinguished educator who come to as sist us In these ceremonies. Next. We welcome the veterans, those who fought with Lee ami .lack son for tho principles which they knew to he right. Next. We welcome the sons and daughters, and the grandchildren of the Confederacy. We are glad to have you alb join in the ceremonies at tending the unveiling of a monument which has been erected by our noble women for the purpose of c<.lomo rating and perpetuating Ihe deeds of our gallant dead and tin' principles lor which our fathers fought. Before concluding, In behalf of the men of this Community, I desire to thank the noble women who have led In the movement looking to the erec tion of this monument and those men. women and children WHO have con i rlbuted thereto. ?OT. Ansel Presented. After a patriotic selection by the Newberry band, Mr. Poatherstono In troduced the speaker who would pre senf the monument, Gov. Martin P. Ansel, of whom, said Mr. Feather I Stoffe, It could be said with truth that "South Carolina never had u better governor." Gov. Ansel spoke briefly but hap pily. After a tribute to the soldiers of the great war. he spoke of the wo men whom he represented on this happy occasion. They had sustained the men when the latter were at the front battling for the right, and When the jaded armres came home the women stood by the men iu their desolated homes in the efforts to up build the South from its ruins. All Honor to the Women. All honor to the women. They have toiled to accomplish the work which is to be presented today. He would I always take off his hat to a Confeder. I ate soldier, but he would take it off twice to each woman who had been interested in this great cause. He urged the living to remember that for which the monument stands. It reminds us of those left on Virginia battlefields. He made one urgent re- j quest of the living soldiers. Let each man make a record or this service in j , that war. Such memories would be precious to their children and their Children's children. Hut the people of today know too little of the hard ships suffered in that struggle and the veterans before crossing over the 1 river should make a record of their past services, a work for which they were too busy in the years succeed* lug the war. in presenting the monument Qov. Ansel said: "Guard it well. See that it is protected. See that it is cared for. and Cod bless you all." Oov. Ansel then gave the signal arid the eoids which Held the cloths were loosed by C little iritis, representing the l" states rf the Confederacy, and the sight inspired the old soldiers to give a rebel yell. As the white cloth fell away and the grim soldier of marble was displayed at parade rest, there was another and a louder yell, in which the entire vast throng joined. The children of tjie city schools then sang Dixie and the band and the populace joined in the chorus. Speech of Acceptance. Robert A. Cooper, a son of Lau rens and solicitor of the Fighth cir cuit, then eloquently spoke on be half of the Confederate veterans in receiving this work at the hands of the women. "A man who knows what war is said to me this morning, when he saw the women and children marching to this joyful celebration: "Cod bless the women of South Caro lina." and 1 say to you for these old soldiers: 'Cod bless the women of Laurens county.' " Mr. Cooper then declared that this monument is to perpetuate the type of man whom I.aureus sent to the war and he read the following list ol some of the UO : table soldiers from this county : William H.

Mr. Cooper concluded: "Until it be possible it) forget the sacrifices of the boys in gray, that spdt shall be sacredly guarded and that monument shall he sacredly and lovingly protected." Dr. Lodge's Address. The speaker of the day was then presented by Mr. Feat borst one aid a warm welcome was given Dr. Lee Davis Lodge, the president of Lime Etcno eolb g? r.nd a p>ot and oratot or distinction. Dr. Lodge began his address by quoting from an old poem that the death of men is not tin1 death of the rights that ordered them to the fray. This was then followed with a beautiful tribute to the women who would perpetuate the memory of the men who fought. This monu ment will stand, he said, as a witness forever to the heroism of the men of Laurens. as a proof that you are wor thy of being their sons and daughters; as an incentive to civis righteousness. And it may be that in the future some uurefooted urchin standing here and getting his inspiration may go oin and grow so tall in intellectual stature and in achievement mat his shadow shall fall at wart this winde continent. It is well to build these memorials. The real tomb of the Confederate soldier is not yonder on tin- battle field of Virginia, but in the hearts of our people, and the real monument is not this beautiful creation of stone, but our love and devotion and we should in our private life and out public careers so emulate the vir tues of the Confederate soldier thai the civilized world may admire those whom we have chosen as our models.
