MAJOR WEIGH IN GREENWOOD.
Delivers Memorial Day AddreSS-"The
Best Speech Ever Delivered OH Such an
OCCASION"

Major Robert H. Welch, of this city,
delivered the Memorial Day address in
Greenwood on Friday. Though mott
fled only the day fore that he would
be expected to deliver the address, his
remarks have been very highly conf
mended by those who were so fortunate
as to be present upon this OCCASION.
Speaking of the address, the Green
wood correspondent of the News and
Conrier, says:
Mr.. Welch took the place of another
and had but short notice of the de-
sire for him to deliver the address, but
he was equal to the occasion. AT the
confusion Of his speech the Veterans
and the members of the Ladies' Memo
rial Association, who wereo Oh The stand,
crowded around him to extend con-
gratulations. The universal opinion is
that it was the best speech ever de-
livered on such an occasion. Mr.. Wclch
announced in tke beginning that he
wished to disprove the idea Of a Lost
Cause.' The cause for which the Con-
federate soldier had fought SO long and
sol gallantly was the right Of local self
government, so much of it as is COM
patible with safety to the whole Gov
ernment, and that this idea or ideal
was stronger today by reason of the
fight made for it by the Confederate
soldier. He predicted that the time
would come when the American peo-
pie would rise up and pay tribute to
the Confederate soldier for his heroic
fight for liberty, for the right of self
government. His whole address was
thoughtful and forceful.
Sheriff Buford, of this city, has re-
ceived from veteran in Greenwood a
personal letter in which the address is
thus spoken of:
81 write to say that Mr. Wclch, of
your town came, saw and captured our
audience. Indeed, he made decided
impression in that the people hung
spell-E ound on his words for more than
three-quarters Of an hour, and, in fact,
they have not cease to talk Of his adj
dress up to the present. Yesterday a
party asked nc what l thought of it.
| said thnt regard / it as one of the
best that we have ever had. cone of
the best" said he. 81 regard it as
the best So we now put you folks on
notice. The latch string hangs outside
to Welch and our gates are wide open
to him.
Your friend,
w. G.. Austin.

THE CONFEDERATE MONUMENT.
Suggestion That The Square Be Fenced
And Improved County and Town
Will Do Their Part.

1t has been suggested recently by a
, number of persons interested that the
square in the rear of the court house
on which stands the monument to New
; berry's Confederate dead should be
improved and beautified. A beautiful
miniature park, with beds of roses and
; other flowers, and small plots of grass,
with playing fountains, and fenced
about with a low iron railing could be
i put on thu spot at small cost, and such
place would be credit to the city and
the county.
The matter was brought to the atten-
tion of the town and county officials by
representative of Herald and News
yesterday. Mayor Earhardt, speaking
for the council, said that he was sure
! the town would do it's part if the matter
!; is taken up and pushed by the Daugh-
ters of the Confederacy or the Sons of
,, Veterans, or some organization which
would be really interested in the work
the Daughters of the Confederacy he
thought the most appropriate.
Supervisor Schumpert, speaking for
the county, said that the county would
donate the land, which is now the prop
erty of the county, and also do its part
in helping to secure the improvements.
BY building the fence around so that
the rear end of the court house will
form a part of one of the parallel sides,
place large enough for use by the
, veterans and their friends could easily
be made beautiful, and at very small
cost.

TO the SOuCh'S matchleSS leader, Robert
e. Lee If the war between the States
had accomplished nothing else, it were
worth all the fire and blood and tears of
those terrible four years that the chill
dren of the South might have set high
before them on the everlasting pedestal
of fame, where he may be seen and
studied of all, that sole and splendid
teacher in gray, our sublime monitor in
every high and holy lesson for all the
ages that are yet to be. In death, he
left a heritage to all. One such exam
pie is worth more to ealth than ten
thousand Caesars.

Forth flashed the sword of Lee!
'Tis shrouded now in it's sheath again;
1t sleeps the sleep of our noble slain,
Defeated, yet without stain,
Proudly and peacefullyW
DR.. Scherer, upon his appearance,
and at the conclusion of his address,
was accorded a sincere and hearty ova-
ton, and during his address, the eyes
of many an old veteran filled with the
unbidden tears as the burning eloquence
of the young man before them, true to
the traditions of the old South, yet with
his face to the future, brought up
recollections of comrades who sleep in
scattered graves.

DR.. Scherer said that he came not
today to pay eulogy to the Confcdcr-

not intend to strew flowers upon his

grave springs flowers of truth. His
theme he gave as "The Soldier as a

DIR. CROMER'S REMARKS.

DR.. Scherer was introduced by Dr..
George b. Cromer. DR.. Cromer said
he esteemed it very distinguished honor
to be allowed to introduce the speaker,
or to take part in any way in an occa-
sion similar to this. A few days since
he had stood on Gcttysburg's field.
Often before he had heard Of the famous
charge of Pickett's brigade, but on that
day ne had seen the spot where the
Wallowing grey tide beat itself Grim. 0
against Gene terry Ridge, and he had
come away with new impressions of
Southern chvalry and of Southern man.
hood. Death thrust his sickle deep that
day into the ranks Of Southern chivalry,
and has thrust his sickle deep since that
day forty years ago. We of the Sons
of Veterans belong to new generation,
and we are admonished that we must
move forward, but it will be a sad day,
If it ever comes, when the young men
of the South forget the vaorous deeds
of their ancestors. 1t was great
pleasure to him today to introduce as
orator man in every fibre of his being
true to what is best i'm the New South
and true to what was best in the Old
South.
