i It is not necessary for ine to tell
you that you are welcome in your
home?your own city?your own1
county?and in your own country 1!
Oh! Welcome Heroes!! in our
city in our hearts and in our
homes!!!
White Woman! What shall I

Welcome too! Yea, Welcome

ing from the earth and nature was
everywhere putting on new life.
These streets were thronged. But
what a contrast between the eause
that moved your people then and
now!
Then, sturdy pioneers who had
subdued these hills and valleys and
had wrung from the subdued earth
the treasures locked in its bosom,
gathered here with the stern resolve
i to defend the sacred rights granted
j them by the constitution. They
I came to vii dicate those rights granted
them in the constitution. The
: foundation principles of justice and |
freedom, imbedded in the sacred
document, they swore to vindicate,
and how they did it you see today.
I'm n<?t expected to fight over our
i battles. But the Confederate sol- J
dier today knows that he fought to i
maintain the constitution given him ,
by the fathers and fought bravely
till ruin fell on this thinning ranks.
! The Confederate soldiers came hack
and determined, by Cod's help, to ,
1 fight the additional battles. Appomattox
is hut a single plm.se of tinawful
battles that now fell swiftly
11 1
aim ncuvuy upon mm.
War's din was over; it had passed
I away; I ait there were diflicultics;
that tested all the manhood. There
i was in our soldier, worn, crushed, a
high resolve, we came to the soil from
which he sprung to begin anew life's
battles. To reclaim what was left of
the broken constitution; to protect
! those that, relied upon justice, you
began your new struggles. This you
did in response to the command,
i onward! Onward! was the command.
Did we respond? l<et the
days of '7(> speak. Mortification,
the vilest known in history, you had
to face. More awful it was than
I any battle during the war. Sorrows
i accumulating, shadows darker and
darker; yet in presence of the dear
i women and children you could not
falter. An<l you did not falter.
With the true instinct of citizens
you know when to surrender arms,
and you knew when the opportune I
moment came for you to go *>n with i
vietory of '7r>, under Hampton. Here ;
was a revolution within ten years of,
! the close of the war. Was the com- i
Iniand, "Halt! lay down arms;
rest," at this point. No! all your
hills and valleys had to l>e re-established.
See your cultivated fields
and your numberless factories. Victory
is ours 1 It would seem that:
this victory would causeyou to stop, i
But no! "March on! "is the coin-1

The band played "The Bonnie!
Blue Flag," also "The Sunny
South," and "Tenting."
Now the Old - Veterans were
marched from the monument to
j seats reserved for them immediately
in front of the speaker's stand.
, Rev. A. A. James was called upon
by the Mayor to introduce Col.
i Coward. This he did in a short
! speech, spoken so that it could lie
distinctly heard. He is a young
man, vigorous of mind and body
and keen in intellect, although he
has for more than half a century
preached the gospel.
Col. Coward spoke extemporaneously.
That made it all the more
enjoyable. It was a practical speech,
; full of spirit and with a message
i that went home to the hearts of the
i hearers. In part, he spoke as folI
lows: Ladies and gentlemen, fclj
low citizens, my old Confederate
Comrades, all hail! Rev. Mr.
i James spoke of a man standing l>e1
fore brigades. I'd rather stand 1k;fore
40 brigades than attempt to fulfill
the expectations of this vast host
of hearers, and that without a speech
in my pocket! I must thus face
! the most magnificient audience it
was ever my duty to address. I
thus contradict the oft-repeated pun'
made upon my name, for I thus
show myself a brave man.
As I look down your Main street
from this vantage a scene 5? years
ago rises to view. Spring was here,
as it is today; then, as now the sky
was blue, tender shoots were snrine

"March on!" We have attacked!
the problems that met us and |
brought them to do our-bidding. !
I?ut let us look to it that the!
sacred thing, the State, has devoted j
to it ill the energies to teaching that ]
tin- i..\v is a thing to be reverenced, j
1 rejoice that your good wisdom and j
self-control recently allowed the law i
to have its course. Civic conquest, I
my friends, is the next victory that
is before us. Let no specious promptings
loose the reins and make us
say we will take the law into our j
own band. Let's select men to of-j
lice who, with courage~aiul the lieBt!
interest of country at heart, will I
dare to do their duty.
Sirs! you saw your comrade dropj
at your side; others came home,
weak and siek, and they werej
buried. You were left. Why?
That up to the very last you might
use your influence to teach reverence
for law and thus help to make
our Southland great as it once was.
I cannot forget that I see here in
Union county men who fought with
me. 1 remember that you were asso-1
; ciated with me in the war. As I
meet them today and shake their
hands, I remember their faithful J
stand at the front.
I "You did not halt in your march}
till the command was given,
'Halt!' In a desperate charge in i
the Wildernesss one color bearer
after another was shot dead. 1 .
took the colors as they fell from a
soldier's hand and carried them be-1
hind the breastworks. Ike Gregory,
a son of Union county,- seized them
and jumped to the parapet and was!
cheering. I said, 'Come down,:
you will be killed.' He asked toj
be allowed to give yet another. [
Just as he gave the cheer, 'zip,' a
ball passed through his body and |
he fell dead.
"Tom Comer, another Union
county man was caught under a
falling tree that was being felled by
the soldiers. He had his ribs}
broken in. We thought he was in
a fair way to die and we sent him :
home. He was back and reported I
for duty l>efore we thought he had
had time to get home. He after- j
wards had his leg shot off at the
knee. He did not come home to
pine for that one leg. No, sirs! i
He made him some crutches and
hobbled behind a mule on the farm.
Comrades! You know nothing but
to go forward when the command
is given, 'Charge'!"
The Confederate soldier, dead or
living, need3 no shaft to makq His 1
memory live. His noble deeds will i
renc^r hmi immortal. He lives in
the hearts of the present generation.

Rev. A. A. James was culled
upon to dismiss the assembly. He
tirst told several incidents of the
war. He then called upon the old
soldiers. to adopt a resolution of
thanks to the women of Union
county. This was done bv giving
the "rebel yell" three times over, i
The veterans were then taken in
hand and carried to the grove surrounding
the Central school building
where a barbecue dinner j
awaited them.
The ladies of William Wallace!
chapter served refreshments to the!
visiting ladies. They had prepared
for them at the vacant store room)
next door to the Rice Drug Co. |
Thus ended a day that will long bej
cherished in the memory of
thousands as a day that marks an
upward march in the history of our
people.
Mrs. Belue Has Fine Fruit.
J. 1*. Belue has returned from!
Union county, where he visited his J
mother, Mrs. J. T. Belue, at their
ol?I home at Bonhan} station. Mr. ;
Belue was nmeh surprised and j
pleased to find that his mother has!
on her large place a full and fine
crop of fruit, which is entirely un
damaged. This is very remarkable,
as all the fruit in this vicinity was
killed in the April freezes. On Mrs.'
Belue's place, lu>wover, large trees j
are weighed down with fine fruit
and a hig yield is promised. Mr.
Belue does not know how to account
for the escape of his mother's fruit
except that her place is pretty high
above the surrounding country.?
