STATE CONVENTION U. ID. C. IN ORANGE
BURG.
Too much cannot be said of the
beautiful and generous hospitality of
| OrAnpahIlrO 10 larr 4,
handsomer town than most of the
visitors expected to see, and it re-
ceived the S. G. division of the u. ID.
@. In the hearty old southern style.
So many of the houses, built since
Sherman passed that way, are lasge
and colonial in architecture, and are
set back from the street with spacious
lawns and big trees in front 80 that
an effect OF great space is obtained
and an air Of dignity given to the
; town.
The meetings Of the convention
D were harmonious and more interest
ing than any proceeding ones; the
numerous receptions were elegant.
The literary evening given by the
historical committee of the Division
) was made very brilliant by the music
rendered by local talent. Three
? vocal soloists, one lady and two
7 gentlemen, gave beautiful selections,
q each Of which received double en-
:. cores. "Torador" given by one of
the gentlemen was especially fine
and had to be repeated. None Of
these, however, impressed the writer
so much as the beautiful way in
I which Orangeburg has commemorated
q the valor and devotion Of her sons
who "wore the grey"
Large marble slabs are fitted into
the brick wall on each side of the
q court house door, and these slabs
r bear the names of those sons of
/ Orangeburg who died for their homes
and friends. Forty-one names to the
i column and twelve long columns, all
in alphabetical order, every letter Of
the alphabet except Q and X fully
q represented All! how those silent
l.. witnesses appealed to our hearts and
i brought the tears to our eyes.
In front Of these, just beyond the
! iron gate opening from the court
house green. on the pavement stands
a very handsome monument. A tall
I massive pedestal of marble is sur
d mounted by the bronze figure of a
: Confederate soldier
e 1t cost the people of Orangeburg
r Sc, 600 and it took them six years to
collect the money-but they did it.
The inscriptions are:
"To the Confederate Dead Of
g Orangeburg District, 1851 1865"
Erected by the Women OF Orange
: burg County 1898"
Z "a grateful tribute to the brave
defenders Of our rights, our honor,
and our homes"
I LET posterity emulate their vir-
