Newberry does honor to the memory of Jefferson Davis. On yesterday morn ing all the stores and otfices were draped in appropriate mourning, and the memorial services in the Opera tl House were largely attended by tue c citizens of Newberry-. The co'hege suspended exercises from eleven o'"iock and likewise the Female Aeademy and 'Miss McI ntosh's school. C4 The students were marched to the ti Opera House. The survivors held a meeting on M onday. Capt. R. H. Wright was niade Chairman and Dr. James Mcln- l tosh, Secretary. A coniittee to ar range for the public meeting was ap- t pointed, consisting of I. H. Wri 'ht. J. B. Fellers, J. W. Gary, J. N. Martin and V. T. Torrant. A comntittee on resolutions was also appointed, consist in of J. B. Fellers, R. L. MeCaughrin and M. A. Carlisle. The following ladies were asked to devise and arrange suitable drapery for the public meeting: Mrs. F. N. Bax ter. MIrs. N. B. 31azyck, Mrs- 0. 31clR. Holmes, Mrs. Y. J. Pope, Mrs. J. A. t Burton and Mrs. 0. L. Schumpert. At half past eleven o'clock the fire bell began to toll, but long before that t< people had begun to assemble at the Opera House and by the time for the npening of the exercises the house was ti filled down stairs and galleries. Mr. Davis being a consistent mem- e ber of the Episcopal Church, the memn- e bers here had the bell tolled at the ( same time the fire bell was tolled. Ow- t; ing to the fact of his being a member d of this church it would have been ap propriate to have used some part of the Episcopal service in the exercises, but on this occasion sectarian differ ences were forgotten and all did honor alike to the great man dead. The opera house was tastefully draped in mourning. Upon the stage were seated the ministers,speakers and mem bers of the committee. On either side were arms stacked bearing garlands of mourning and swords that had been in the heat of battle. On one side was a canteen that called to the minds of old o veterans the scenes of other days. On the center of the stage was a mound covered with the emblems of mourn ing. Above it hung a beautiful crown. There was also there the flag of the t Quitman Rifles and for the occasion the old flag of the 3rd Regiment was unfolded and in its soiled and tattered and bullet pierced appearance called to mind the days !that tried men's souls. We noticed the tear drops steal down , the cheek of many old vetarans on this occasion as their eyes looked upon these tokens of scenes and conflicts more than a quarter of a century ago, and as the speakers portrayed these scenes in words, men who had faced the cannon's mouth and marched half clad and fed right into the jaws of the death dealing weapons of war, could not restrain the tear as memory was refreshed. It is gqod to be reminded of these things and to have the heroic deeds of our ancestors recounted to us so that their children will ever be ready and willing to honor their names and their memory. The choir for the occasion sang well. The opening anthem was "Guide Me 1 0 Thou Great Jehovah." This was fol lowed by that grand old hymn, "Rock of Ages," and "Nearer my God to Thee."7 Tbe closing piece, ''Asleep in Jesus," was sweetly sung, and closed this interesting feature of the mourn ful occasion. M1ayor Geb. B. Cromer ln beautiful and fitting words declared the mieeting organized. On motion of Capt. R. H Wright, Dr. James McIntosh was elected chairman and M1r. C. F. Boyd secretary. The exercises were then opened with prayer by Rev. G. WV. Holland. Dr. McIntosh in introducing the first speak er made a short and appropiate address. He said the Southern heart was stirred to its deepest depths. The tolling of I bells and the booming of cannon from the Potomac to the Rio Grande would call the people from town and hamlet in all this Southland to-day to do honor to the illustrious dead. His memory and his honor will be as immortal as history itself. His memory and his life forms a part of the life of every Confederate. Flags that have been fold ed and laid away for a quarter of a cen tury, on a day like this, it is proper they should be unfurled and that we should look on them once more, when the chieftain over whom they once proudly waved lies still in death. Bathed in the blood of its defenders a fit emblem to rest on the grave of the dead. Our victories and our defeats in I the greatest struggle the world ever saw are iuseparbly connected with the name of him in whose honor we are assembled to-day. It is right that we together with the other parts of this sorrowinlg Southland should engage in these services to-day. Mr. J. F. J. Caldwell wvas then in troduced. Mr. Caldweil said that the event which brought us together to-day had probably caused more sadness and1 sorrow in this beautiful Southland than any occurrence (luring the last quarter ~of a century. Even the death of Robert E. Lee loved as he was, fail-t ed to evoke such expressionls of affection and love as is contained in the vast wave of sympathy which rolls over this Southland to-day. And it should be so. He felt safe in saying that .Jef ferson Davis was the greatest of all the heroes of the South and deserved the most reverence and affection. Lee and Jackson and the other heroes most efficiently did their part. But it was left for Jefferson Davis to suffer long after the cares and troubles of the others were ended. He was the pecul iar mark at which the hatred and envy of partisanship and prejudice were. launched. The most envenonmed shafts were hurled at him and through him at us, by the enemies of the South, and every blow struck at him was felt hv us. But all these could not terrify hm. He wvas the martyr, represent ing the South. His(Christian resigna tion elevated Southern character. Thle whole South should join in exhibiting grief at his death as for no other man. r. Caldwell thought that M1r. Glad stone was the only other man of his time that was worthy to be compared with him. He then spoke of Mr. Davis as a statesman and soldier. He thou:ght that his management of the War De parmenit unader Pierce's Administra to was secondi only to that of JIohn C. Calhoun. mlIllhs alppoinme:1ts of generals and navai officers was his ge nius to be seen. His name should be p)erpetuated and Mr. ('aldwell thought a monument should be erected to his mienmiry ill Richmnond. The next speaker was Rev. E. P. MClintok. He spoke of his recollec tions of Davis and Lee and his impires sions of them. Davis the perfect states mian. Lee the peerless soldier. The day will come when history will recog nize Lee and Davis as the counterpart of Washington and Jefferson. The character of MIr. Davis was one of suf fering. His soul wvas one of scrrow. It was a beneficent arrangement of God that his life should be continued fori so long a time for our mnstrucetiom:. The feature of suffering will distinguish our generation. He wa the great ex enplar in that suffering. The bit ter cup has been pressed to oum lips .but the~ great Chieftain was made to drink the "wormwood and tile gall." It is profi table, lawful, right, honorable to wear these badges of mourning il honor of im who was Commander-ini-chi,:f of our army. The next speaker was the Rev. .J, S. Cozby, D. D. Dr. Cozby said he would not tear open cruel wounlds and make them bleed a fresh. He would not sound the bugle I bastnd put on soldier attire. What tore has the Southland to do with war. words had been returned to their scab ards,to rest, maybe to rust there. Camp res have died out and flags have been ,rever furled and laid away. The .enes and incidents of that struggle inot beunderitood by the young, but us as;we'turnt back the leaves of mem rv they stand out a striking reality. he speaker then paid a tribute to the onuthern women who gave their hearts, ieir all. He spoke touchingly of the enes when the southern soldier left is home to go and do battle for a cause e believed to be right, and in speaking r these things he had a purpose. There >nes a wave from the sectional North at would have our younger persons -ash out from their remembrance the eeds and sufferings of their fathers ho fought on the Southern side in the Lte civil strife and to look with indif rence-doubt-pity-s h a m e-upon ie very names of the defenders of hat is called the "Lost Cause." If it ,es not come to pass it will be on ac runt of the recitals of such facts as ave been delivered on this occasion. he survivors are fast passing way. Vhen the Confederate stacked and acked his arms in 1865 he bad othing but his name and honor left, hich are dear to him yet. He will >on leave these to the rising genera on. Will you keep them from the tunting breath of calumny. It would e a dagger to the dead soldier's heart > feel that you forgot his heroic deeds. he speaker said he was not counsel g to keep up sectional animosity, but iat he would speak for truth, knowi ;ge and justice. This once the South rn Confederate must burst the cere ents of the past and do honor to the ad Chieftain. He would ask the see ional North to leave us alone this one ay to our g rief. All we have to give our words and tears. This we must ive. J. B. Fellers then offered the follow ig resolutions which were seconded y J. Y. Culbreath and adopted by a ising vote. The benediction was pronounced by tev. W. S. Wightman. IN 3IEMORIA3. The Confederate Survivor's Asssoci tion of Newberry County, South Car lina, deploring and lamenting the de ise of their illustrious and beloved hieftain, the Hon. Jefferson Davis, x-President of the Confederate States, o in assembly Resol'e, First. That death has removed front ime to eternity and from the presence f those who esteem and love him, ne of the most notably conspicuous eroes that has ever adorned the an als of American history, and we eeply and sadly join in the universal rief which has stricken the South )d. Second. That the fame which he dded to the Southern Confederacy, he luster which adorned his name, he valor which crowned his arms, the he splendor with which his intellect hone in the councils of the nation, he statesmanship which he at all imes displayed, the unselfish devotion vhich always characterized his life, he patience and forbearanee with vhich he bore defeat, the Christian ,irtues which he exhibited in passing hrough the fiery ordeals of life, and ts unswerving fidelity to the great rinciples which he advocated, chal enge as well our unbounded admira ion as that of the civilized world, and hey are a sweet heritage which ve cherish and hold dear, and the mem ry of which shall never fade from our earts, but shall al ways be treasured by i as jewels in his glorious, but now nded earthly career.
