PROCEEDINGS OF U. D. C. CONVENTION \ j (Continued from Page 1) c and well received. \ After this address a trio was sung r by Mrs. R. A. Jones, Miss Mary Jones ? and Miss Kathrin Layton. f Dr. H. N. Snyder, president of Wof- t ford college, appointed to deliver the c principal address of the evening was ^ next introduced. Dr. Snyder is not a c stranger to Union, for on many former c occasions he has been heard with de- 0 light by the people of the community. ^ His speech Tuesday evening eclipsed, s perhaps, all previous efforts, and that r is saying much. He said: v "When the next congress meets and the roll is called a soprano voice will respond, nere.' recently a cartoon c appeared in a Western paper. It was a woman astride a horse, wearing a ^ sombrero turned up in front and upon j the brim of which was written 'The j West' and under the horse and rider j were the words, 'Pauline Revere.' A new day has come to us. Strange j things are happening. We had a vis- j itor on the campus at Wofford recent- ( ly who hastened to Chicago on the eve of the election to cast her vote for j, Hughes?she was a lady of color. We j have come to strange times. The strangest of all I notice, that John j Brown's Kansas and States Rights j South Carolina both voted for Wilson. "I shall confine my remarks to the j subject, 'Southern Sectionalism for j National Service.' Historical conditions have created us a section and these conditions have held us a section; we are a* peculiar people and we 0 are proud of it. Some of us know it ? so well that we need make others feel J uncomfortable. What are we doing ? here tonight? We are celebrating the * glory of a great sectional fight. Now * e t ? nDgHn ^^hb^^B ti Mnn ^m p ^B^B^H^B Hpn| I ^HjHr p ^ f /*J^M p HK . fl |^^HRL,rff^H g Hffi, JH HB f ^F^ppWB ti \sf >>-J?tiB I. JT t A :vfl| ** \-::>*3Mb MRS. L. J. HAMES, Regent Fairforest Chapter, D. A. R., Union, S. C. when Kansas and South Carolina vote together, is it not time to forget? I do not think so, or believe that we should forget the royal heroism of a great race. To the end of time I want every Southern child taught these great truths. I wish we would keep our old soldiers with us forever, but the last one will soon pass from the earth. It is the work of the Daughters of the Confederacy to hand this story on lest we forget. Men and women took everything they had and hurled it into the great conflict and we are going to need the gold that showed itself in this sectional heroism in the future America. JLee, the American,' is a book written by a j Massachusetts Yankee and in this book it is said that Lee was one .of the greatest Americans?it took a long time for some people to read aright the story of the Southern Confederacy. Another book, 'Four Years Under Marse Robert,' tells the story? Men of Marse Robert killed one thousand every day?60,000 in 60 days. Perhaps it is stated thus in the book. In the 60 miles 1,000 slain of Grant's forces stained the earth for every mile?60,000 men in 60 days took their toll of their equal number of Grant's colossal army in that short time. Ev.ents like this are assets of a nation. "Sixty?sixty-five, after awhile we quit?not whipped, but we quit. No defeated people ever took up the battle of life as did the Southern men and women. After the war this sectional South did the only thing it ought to have done; it said our civilization lO a n A r\ /\ CJ o vAn ni ifi 1 I'/of 1 An '? n r\ O ??1 xin^iu-uaAUii Viviii/mviu I w??u white man is to rule it, no conquered people would have had sou! enough to say and do that. "The manner of the South building up her industrial system is something without a. parallel in history, the wealth of the South before the war < was destroyed by the gigantic arm of ' war, the cause of this disaster. I ' hear no whine, no groaning from a *1 Confederate soldier. He came back ' home and put all his energy into ' building up his fortunes. From 1904 < to 1912, a period of eight years, the 1 wealth of the South was increased ' from 21 billions of dollars to 43 bil lions of dollars, an increase at a rate of 7% millions of dollars for every 1 -day of the eight years. These figures < are quoted from the 'South of Today.' , The South has today 756,000,000 more of bank deposits than had the whole country eight years ago. The manhood and womanhood of the South i went to work and the story of our recreation of the industrial system i of the South reads like a romance. < Back of that created wealth is the en- ) ' irgy of a great people, the natior leeds a sectionalism that can create vealth like that. We still vote the democratic ticket and we are proud >f it. Some people say we need a Re>ublican party in South Carolina Vhy did not Kansas want one in th< ecent election? In the solid South vhen the Republic was in danger ol ailing into the hands of vested inerests, we witnessed the new birth if a political thinking that men said lied at Appomattox. In the rnidsl if the world's conflict the Stars and Jtripes appeared to be the only star ?f hope in the dark night and to the rlory of the Stars and Stripes. Stars ind Bars have contributed in the magtiflcent history of a great people, vhose history will never die." At the conclusion of the program he president announced the following ommittees On Credentials?Mrs. Macbeth foung, Union; Mrs. Walter Duncan, Uken; Mrs. W. J. Cely, Greenville; ?Irs. T. R.

White, pastor of the ^irst Baptist church, offered the opning prayer, after which Children of he Confederacy sang "Carolina." Mrs. IcWhirter, president of the convenion, then introduced Mrs. Carrie McC. 'atrick, Division historical superinendent, she gave a detailed report f her work for the year and showed hat 286 papers had been compiled by he chapters of the State during the eriod. A place must be provided to ake care of these papers. I believe i preparedness. Old clock that stood l our home had an accompanying each tree limb, which showed that ly mother before me believed in prearedness. Under our great president re are one people, but our Confederate ag is a sacred memory; we should lake more of an effort to attend our eneral convention. It was at such gathering that I met Miss Rutherord, our general historian, who inpired me with a zeal for historical esearch. The war was a war between he States, not a war of rebellion."
