MEMORIAL DAY. The Anoua! Tribute to the Revered Memory of the Heroes of the Lost Canse. The following is the address deliver ered by I&v. H. J. Mikel 1: I stand not here today, as I so often stand, dropping into the open grave the symbol of mortality with the stately music of the burial of the dead upon my lips, "Earth to earth, Ashes to ashes, dust to dust;'' but stand in the presence of an immortal com? pany to add a feeble strain to the chorus o? undying praise which greets them, to say "Fame to fame, honor to honor, glory to glory." We speak of the "Confederate dead, '' these mea are not dead. In this mouth of May Stonewall Jackson, wounded upon the held of Chancel? lorsville, lay surrounded by his brok? en-hearted soldiers, and as his noble spirit took it's flight he gave his last commanrl, "Let us cross over the River and rest under the shade of the trees." It is that command of their daunt? less and; undying leader which all these Confederate soldiers whom we remember on each 10th of May have obeyed: They have not died, they have followed Stonewall Jackson over the river, and are encamped under the shade cf the laurel trees in eter? nal peace.auoLever-li^ing ^lory. These mortal soldiers have put on immor? tality In this world and in the world ta come. ' For where is the man, be he ever so ignorant, who has not heard of the stainless heroism, the self-sacrificing devotion, the daring bravery of the Confederate soldier? Where is the country whose inhospitable shores have not rung with the sound of their praise? Where is the language, how? ever strange it's characters and harsh it's accents, in which their deeds have not found expression? The annals of the world have been challenged again and again to pro? duce their equal, and the challenge has. never bees answered. No, not by the Ten Thousand Immortals of Greece, the Macedonian Phalanx, the Beman Legion, ?he English at Water? loo, or the Old Guard of Napoleon. As the incoe at night sheds a path of glory over the waves of the sea, so the light reflected from the flashing arms of the Confederacy sheds a gleam of glory over the deeds and records of the world. How gallantly and hopefully the men of the South took up arms in the defence of the New Nation which chey had called into being ! Our South Carolina poet has voiced in verses the feelings with which they saw the flag of the Confederacy "unfurled to the Southern breeze. Hath not the morning dawned with added light; And shall not evening call another star Out of the infinite regions of the night, To mark this day in Heaven? At last we'are A nation among nations, and the world ShalTsoon behold in many a distant port another flag unfurled." ?. . The ??opes and dreams of their statesmen were that they had founded an Empire whose history would be j as cloudless as their Southern skies, j whose record as fair and sinning as j .their Southern seas. The Confederacy was to be among ! ?stions of the world as glorious as the stars which form the Southern Cross werie among the constellations j of the Heavens; the influence of it's government and institutions was to oe to the institutions of the world what the Gulf stream was to its geo? graphy; carrying to their "cold, un? tempered oceans strange tropic warmth und hints of summer seas." Men of Southern temperament have -been not only dreamers, but of cease? less and untiring activity in the reali? zation of their dreams and visions. So when these men knew that th sir visions of fair empire could not be of peaceful realization, their quick spirit sprang to arms to compel its cominsr. If need be, the conjurer's wand at whose waving the vision of the Confederacy would rise from the vasty deep would be a sword. Peace? fully, if possible, with ploughshare and pruning hook they would build up a nation from their fertile fields, but if not peacefully then they would beat their plongb-hares into swords and their pruning hooka into spears and their church belis .i.tocaunon balls, and with unexam,. i.u daring and en? durance suffer and om for the inlfiling of their- hign purpose. And so they suffered and endured and aied. ? rronvevery Sjuthern home father and sou took up tueir arms and marched to the fleming line, and in those four years ngntmg tnose men of the South give to tue history ot the world a hitnerto uno reamed of record of bravery in battle, tuduraoce in the march, patience ia privations, vic tory against fear: m odas ana ski ii tu leadership. Wnat one nation in one war caa show an equai numoer of genera.s who at once gained tue -first raak among the mi ii ia ry leadeis of tiiu world : Rooerc E. Lee, Stonewall J&c&son, Aioerr. Sidney .johnson, Jo? seph E. Johnstone, Kirby Smith, Polk, ? tuart, r'orrcsr, rn IL Wheeler, John B. Gordon, and Wade Hampton and & host of otners form a group ct leaders wnich no country or cause caa excel, and wnicn can be rivalled by none in history, save, perhaps, Napo? leon and his group or marshals. Led by sucn men as these the Con? federates fought with a courage gal? lant at all times, and growing despe? rate as the war went on. Tnis bravery and devotion to their cause, and loyalty tc their leaders was their oae sustaining force, it must take the place of numbers and food and cloth? ing and arms and ammunition, with it alone they must go against fearfr' odds, with ic alone they must beat back the invader. Their courage and their lives, as time went on it was ali they bad to give for the protection of their loved South, and with what cheerfulness they gave it these graves, and thousands of others along the lines of march and on the deadly battlefield, give silent^but .elo? quent witness. And was not the portion of those who fell the happier lot? Was it not better to have fallen with the issue still doubtful, with the hope of vic? tory still buming in the breast, than to be of those who knew defeat, even though it was the most glorious and stainless defeat that human soldier was ever called upon to suffer? At the word of command from loved leaders they had ofteu foll the tattered flag to infinite and d danger, had often lead a forlorn with cheerful spirit; now ^fron leaders comes the word of com that was hardest to obey, they lay down their arms, they must their banner. Their comrades given their lives, these who wer mast give their happiness. Their hopes crushed, their fair ion forever faded, they must go to their ruined homes, and strange conditions build up foi South a new civilization. Their a harder heroism, but manfully showed it, and through their e the South once more today is rea take her place of leadership in manifold activities of the nation? Those men who thus added the dom cf counsel to the bravery of tie, who added the service of upb ing to the service of defence many of them obeyed now the maud of Jackson, and have passed the river to join their immortal rades. Not many months have passed i one of the ablest of them was la rest amid the tears of this peop yonder cemetery. Throughout war Gen. E. W. Moise fought gal ly for the cause which he had esj ed, and when fighting was ove: came back to his prostrate lard so many others came back-no sit down and weep, like Marius the ruins of Carthage-but to giv his best effort, his gTeat culture wisdom, his burning eloquence, large knowledge for the binding of the wounds of his broken and bJ ing Southland, that it might Phoenix-like from the ashes of and devastation, and become more the fairest and noblest sec of our common country. Ysr. one by one the survivoi that lawful struggle have gone to their leaders and their comrades have pitched their tents in the V2 of peace, and rest, "on fame's et al camping ground." Each reunion of veterans is smi and smaller. Those grow fewer fewer who are left to tell us by v of mouth of gallant charges, of pat seiges, of stubborn stands against enemy, of Manassas and Missioi Ridge and Gettysburg and the Wil ness. Shall we then forget them? Foi that noblest if that saddest pagi all our history? Never! And so che sons and daughters of the C federacy have banded toegther keep alive, not in bitterness, not hostility, but in a spirit of r?v?rer the memories of our fathers' gall deeds and wonderful devotion cause and country. So in each May, that month which Stonewall Jackson gave his J command, and his departing spirit his hosts of followers over the ri; we come to scatter blossoms upon that is mortal of them, and to th i and speak of their immortality. We decorate their graves, one thi] of them without distinction. It m ters not of what religion, or natl ality or descent they were, they gi their lives in a common cause, tl followed one flag ; one aim, one p pose actuated and inspired their de? of daring and endurance. It matters not of what rank tl: were in the service, whether th collars were decorated with the sk of generalship, or whether their's v the torn and tattered uniform of t private, they were alike faithful duty. Death has levelled all rani the general's sword beside the mt kee, and we think no more loving today of cur South Carolina Gene: who fell at the first battle of Mani sas, Barnard E. Bee, that we think the humblest soldier who was kill on picket duty. Ic matters not what were thei graces of character. . They were n all alike, good and faultless, it won be idle to contend that they were, J Kipling says "Men in barracks doc grow into plaster saints. " But ?ha ever their faults and failings, \ think not of them, for their one gre virtue overshadowed all, their love f their counry ; and their one great sa rifice purified all, their sacrifice life. And greater love hath no nu than this, that a man lay down h life for his laud. History will see not again such bloody war as that of which these mi were the heroes. The appeal to arms i setttle the righteousness of a can; will grow fainter and fainter, ar the world is entered upon an era ? peaceful settlement of difficulties, < combiuation of nations to restrai the grasping, of treaties respect?e and international courts of ar bi tn tion. Yes, in spite of wars and rumors ( wars, in spite of immense standin armies and mammoth navies, or pe haps because of these perfected a: rangements, the reign of universa peace is coming nearer and neare: Only a few weeks ago, with the batt] cries of the Eastern combatants soun j ing in their ears, representatives c j TWO ancient foes, England an France, came to a peacelol settiemei: ot apl?cate questions of sovereignty. 1 believe that there will ce nc ..sam such a long and stubbornl contested war as that fought by thes men for Southern independence, know thar snould there be such a wa neither victor nor vanquished in th struggle will leave behind as a beril age tor their children the memory c such consecration to high purpose, c such stainless honor, of such bra y endurance as these soldiers of th Confederacy have left to us, their son and daughters. Whether they died upon the field c battle, whether they lived to toil am work and suffer for their prosprat land, they have left us a high an< solemn duty, to bend every energy, ta stretch every nerve tor the prosperiit; and upbuilding of the land which the; held so dear, for which they she( their, blood. The South enriched b; such blood, founded upon suci bravery and devotion cannot but tak< its place once more in the forefront o the nation. It was said of the soldiers of Napo leon: "The Old Guard dies, but neve: surrenders." At tbe word of her im mortal Lee, the South surrenderee but it cannot die. It cannot be bm that the spirit of these men, of whon we think today, will rest upon the land they loved, and change stainless defeat into glorious victory. It can? not be but th?t the bravery and devo? tion of these men will inspire theil sons and daughters to work and laboi for the South until it becomes the fulfillment of the vision of the foun ders of the, Confederacy, a land whose history and civilization and influence will be a beaefit and blessing to the world.

Simpson have leased the hotel to Mr. Bryan Lawrence, proprietor of the Albion Hotel, Augusta Ga., and it will be conducted this season under bis personal management. Mr. Lawrence as one of the most success? ful and best known botelmen-in jibe South and it goes without saying that the Glenn Springs Hotel will be well managed. The Messrs. Simpson are devoting their entire time feo the sale and ship? ment of water, this department of the business having grown so rapidly dur? ing the past year or two that it re? quires all of their time. Glenn Springs Water and other products of the Glenn Springs bottling plant are now sold throughout the couutry and several men are> kept on the road pushing the sales. A Choice Location Taken by a Church. Tlie Church of Christ has purchased the lot on the corner of Washington and Calhoun streets, on which they will erect a house of worship.

The church here will soon have a pastor. An Open Letter. From the Chap?n, S. C., News: Early in the i^prin^ ray wife and I were taken with liiAmioea and so severe were the pains that we called a physician who prescribed for ns, but his medicines failed to give any relief. A friend who had a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar? rhoea Remedy oa hand gave each of ns a dose and we at once felt the effects.
