Col. J. Harvey Wilson, the orator
of the day, delivered an appropriate
and very eloquent address, his sub
iect being the character and services
of Robert E. Lee. Col. Wilson was at
his best and his address, which was
entirely extemporaneous, was worthy
of a larger audience and of preserya-
tion as gem of patriotic eloquence.
During the, exercises a select choir
sang .Dixie,5,' Maryland, My Mary
land,'' and ,etThe Bonnie Blue Flag"
After the conclusion Of the exercises
in the Opera House the Veterans were
invited to a luncheon in the club
rooms Of the Sumter Light Infantry,
which was prepared and served under
the direction of the Daughters Of the
Confederacy.
