their forefathers. .
"Men of this State fought splendidly
in the Thirtieth, the irghty-fIrst, the
Rainbow and other divisions, in the
navy and in the marine organizations.
These mon dedicated their lives to the
great cause of universal justice. It is
due them that the memorial be crect
eds it is necessary for the rest of us
that w erect it, else we shall suffer be
caure of duty and appreciation ne
gle'.ed, of inspiration lost. Those who
suffered the untold miseries of muddy
fields and battle Perils, those who
traveled over the treacherous seas
will ever be remembered gratefully by
us all. This memorial is -but. one tok
en of this reniembrance.
The work and sacriflees of our wo
men have made a brilliant page in our
history. Without their unilled assist
alee, their sympathy, prayers anid
courage, ite mnortle of ou r ighti ng
miei would have fall en, and battles
woni would have been battles lost.
Shmali1 this lhapter of our history be
neglected? The memorial building
will keep the facts fresh in mind.
South Carolina as a State is bettor;

Those 'wio served in tle mobilized
forces of the Nation did their duty
well anid williigly. Shall we not (10
ours to the fullest. While they were
fighting, we supported them from our
positions at home. Their tightlig is
now eided, but we have yet another
task before us. It is for us now it
keep animated the Iigh-sou led ideals
wiich Iluspired tle armiles and the

Ingratitude will never he used as an
