Pe-ru-na Not Only Cured La Grippe but
Benefited the Whole System.
Miss Alice NJ Dressler, 1913 N. Bryant
Ave-, Minneapolis, Mimi, writes:
Last spring suffered from la grippe
and was partially cured, but the bad
| after effects remained through the sum-
mer and somehow did not get strong as
was before. One of my college friends
who was visiting me asked me to try Pc
runa and did so and found 1t all and
more than had expected. 1t not only
! cured me Of the catarrh but restored me
to perfect health, built up the entire sys-
tenn and brought happy feeling Of buoy
ancy which had not known for years."

the following:
During the past winter of 1901, I
suffered for several weeks from a severe
attack of grippe, which left a serious
catarrhal condition of the throat and
head.
Some one suggested Peruna. AS
last resort, after wasting much time
and money on physicians, tried tho
remedy faithfully, and in a few weeks
was as we'll as ever."-Jean Cowgirl.

Some five or six years ago had a

did, and was Immediately benefited and
cured. The third bottle completed the
cure."-H. J. Goss.

The committee on universities and
colleges has just completed it's in
vestigation of the various institutions.
The report will be read to the house
1T an early date. The one of most in
terest Is that relating to the university
and some of the testimony as to the
Greek letter societies is said to be of
a sensational character.
The judiciary committee of the
house has finally decided to report the
same code bill formerly reported,
which provides for commission to
report a code to the next legislature.
Constitutional Prohibition.
When the house met the constitu-
ton committee reported concurrent
resolution No. IL, submitting an
amendment to the constitution pro-
hibiting the sale of liquor in the State
with the recommendation that it do
pass as amended, the amendment
changing the time of submission from
a special election in August to the
general election in November.
Mr.. Brown, of Adams, moved that
the resolution be referred to the liquor
traffic committee to pass on the sub
ject matter.
Mr.. Ross moved that the Brown
motion be tabled and the roll was
called on this motion, which resulted
in tabling by 53 ayes to 80 nays, the
house refusing to send the amend
ment to the liquor traffic association.
A minority report from the consti-
tuition committee was presented to
the house and signed by Mr. Watts,
of Lauderdale, and T. e. Williams,
in which they took the position that
the proposed amendment to the con
stitution was unnecessary, and for
that reason they could not concur in
the recommendation of the majority
of the committee.
There were no bills introduced of
general interest, and the house at

son was the great exponent. The
North inclined to strong central
lied federal government, and had
for its chief expounder Alexander
Hamilton. The conflict was ire
pressible and resulted in the appeal
to arms. 1t was terrible war, and
resulted in defeat for the Confede-
rate States, followed by the abolition
of slavery and the destruction of the
property of the South which reduced
its people to condition of dire want
and destitution unknown in the
annals of civilized warfare. He
could forgive the soldiers who fought
in the war on the score that "to the
victor belongs the spoils," but the
Southern people could not forget nor
forgive the politicians of the Repub-
lican party during the years of re-
construction for the humiliation and
degradation inflicted upon the South
because of hatred. The spoils of
war were bad enough, but the hu-
initiation of brave people for the
sake of revenge could not he iusti-
fed or excused on any reasonable
ground. But after ten years the
spirit of the South re- asserted itself
and the government was redeemed
from the hands of corrupt and pol
luted politicians. The South again
began to command the respect which
brave people deserved, and wrought
out for itself victory in peace more
glorious than any ever won in war.
Success and prosperity are at last
the portion Of the Southern people.
1t Is sometimes said that the won
derful development of the Southern
States for the last few years is due to
the coming in of foreign capital, but
the South had to win success along
agricultural, commercial and indus
trial lines before capital from abroad
could be induced to come. So that
success which is ours to. day is due to
our own efforts. 1t was achieved by
the men and women of the Confed-
eracy. To their faithfulness and he
roic efforts, not only during the war,
but also during the weary years sue
ceeding, is due the present prosperity
OF the South: And this prosperity
is founded on the natural advantages
and resources of the South, which
cannot be taken away or duplicated
by any other country. Cotton is

queried, Was it all lost? Was it all
in vain? Was there no gain, no
recompense for all that costly sacri-
fee of blood and treasure? But it
was only for moment that we
waited for an answer. Yes, there
was gain, great gain; for then and
there was wrought out for all time
the rich treasure of the Confederate
character by "The hero in gray with
a heart of gold"
AS fit representative of this
character stood Gen. Lee at Appo-
mattox, in April, 1865, illustrating
in his calm and lofty bearing tho
noble adage which he afterwards an
nounced, that "the virtue of humanity
ought always to equal its trials" An
eyewitness of that trying ordeal, the
late beloved Gen. Gordon, in his
"Last Days of the Confederacy,"
speaks of him as "Self-poised and
modest, bearing on his great heart a
mountain load of woe, with the light
of an unclouded conscience upon his
majestic brow, with an innate dignity
and nobility of spirit, rarely equaled
and never excelled, the central figure
of the Confederate cause rose in this
hour of supremest trial, in the esti-
nation at least OF those who followed
him, to the highest place of the
morally sublime"
And no less heroic was the bear
ing of the foot-sore, heavy-hearted
Confederate soldier, who, unlike the
Northern soldier, marched home in
defeat, not in victory, but in glory
unexcelled, and to hearts as loving
as ever welcomed heroes home. Hav-
ing fought to the last ditch, dread
ing death not half so much as dis
honor, even in the hour of defeat de-
manding that his colors be guarded
with a soldiers honor, he surrenders
his gun, bids his comrades adieu,
takes a last look with tear-stained
eye upon the graves that dot the old
Virginia hills, pulls his faded gray
cap over his eyes, folds in his bosom
. no Il ,nh -,
mony to posterity to his fidelity, and
begins his journey home. And such
a home coming! What does he find ?
Is it that home that he left 80 pros
porous and beautiful All, no !!
Ruin and devastation await him on
every hand. Never was disaster
more appalling, more complete.
Broken in fortune, but not in spirit,
he begins the work of restoration,
with the same undaunted courage
that was his in the camp, on the
march, on the field.
"Peace hath her victories
No less renowned than war;
And history records no more in
spring lesson than is afforded by the
men and the women Of the South
taking up the task of building the
New South upon the ruins of the old.
We hear a great deal of prattle these
days about the New South, and the
wonderful things it has done, is
doing, and going to do. My coun-
trymen Of the generation that has
come on since the war, let the truth
be sounded forth loud and clear, and
let it go ringing down the ages, the
South of to-day is the New South as
it was made possible by the men and
the women of the Confederacy.

labors were not in vain. In high

ton. Yon stand as the connecting
link between the generation of your
comrades and ours. The monu-
ments of granite, which have been
erected to the honor of the heroes of
the Confederacy, may crumble into
dust, but the influence of their life
and work shall abide until the last
generation, until time shall be no
more. You shall live in the hearts
of your countrymen.
And now, in conclusion, we bid
you welcome, thrice welcome, to our
homes and hearts. You are our
kith and kin. But we welcome you
for the cause for which you gave
four of the best years of your lives,
the cause for which you even dared
to die, the cause for which heroes
could do no more.
Col. James L. Orr.
Col. James L. Orr, of Greenville,
eldest son of Col. James l.. Orr, who
organized the regiment, was intro
duced by President Hemphill. It
has been his habit to meet with this
association every year and deliver an
annual address. He did 80 this time
and spoke for thirty-6ve minutes in
most feeling, inspiring and inter-
esting manner. He began by re-
calling his recollections of the camp
life at Sandy Springs in the fall of
1861, when the regiment was organ
lied by his father, and went into
camp of instruction. He was pet
of the regiment and made much of
by the soldiers during their stay at
Sandy Springs. Several interesting
inc idents were related. He referred
in feeling manner to the strong at
tachment felt by his father for the
m embers Of the regiment, and how
he regretted parting from them upon
his election to the Confederate
States Senate before the regiment
went to the front. 1t was one OF the
hardest trials of his life when he was
called upon to decide between re-
naming with the regiment through
out the four years and taking a diff
ferent course by accepting the seat
to which he had been elected in the
Senate. 1t was hard and delicate
matter to decide, and he ever fol-
lowed the history of his regiment
with the keenest personal interest.
The speaker then passed in re-
view the causes bringing about the
war, and discussed in q masterful
manner the underlying principles of
the long controversy which culmi-
mated in tie appeal to arms by the
Southern States. Among other
things he emphasized the fact that
slavery was not the cause of the war,
and the emancipation of the slaves was
only an incident, being war mea-
sure. The proclamation by Presi-
dent Lincoln to this effect was made
for the purpose of crippling the South
by the destruction of its property
and the exhaustion of its resources.
The primal cause of the war was the
conflicting views held by the North
and the South as to the rights-the
primary and inherent rights--of the
several States reserved at the time
of the formation of the Federal Con-
stitution. The South was a Demo-
cratic people, believing in a repre-
sentative government, and espoused
the doctrine of which Thomas Jeffer-

its utmost cal acity by interested
spectators, who sat for three hours,
and gave close attention to the pro-
ceedings.
The exercises were opened with
an impressive prayer by Rev. E. S.
Jones, pastor of the Walhalla Metho-
dist church. Address of welcome
was delivered by Col. r. T. Jaynes.
Address Of Welcome.
In extending the welcome of the
town to the old soldiers, Col. r. Il.
Jaynes spoke substantially as follows /:
Mr.. President and Survivors of
Orr's Regiment, Confederate States
Army: We feel honored by your
presence to-day. Language is lame,
words halting, in giving expression
to the emotions of the heart as we
look into your faces, and recall that
you are the small remnant of that
superb regiment that went into
action forty-three years ago as the
very flower of Lees army.
You and your comrades knew full
well it was no holiday affair, no mere
dress parade, when you enlisted as
volunteers for the defence of the
South on the tented field for the
maintenance of your rights as you
honestly conceived and clearly saw
them. No mercenaries were you,
bearing arms for a stipend; no sub
jects obeying unwillingly the com
mand of a cZar; no soldiers of for
tune, seeking wealth or adventure :;
no invaders of foreign soil, for you
fought but to keep that which already
was your own. You were thought
full, intelligent freemen, responding
promptly, gladly, to your country's
call TO arms. You were among the
first of the thousands of patriots who
responded for the defence of your
homes, for the protection of your
property, for the preservation of
your rights. And how well you
made good that response, let four
long years of bloody warfare let 81
hard fought battles, from Manassas
to Appomattox, in which you took
part let 1,l25 casualties in battle !;
let the long, long list of your officers
and men, killed and wounded, answer.
What a record Was there ever
more loyal devotion to duty?
AS we looked upon your broken
column and thinned ranks this morn
ing, upon that old flag, so battle
scared, tattered and torn-now for
ever furled-but once the proud
ensign which you followed for four
years, even though it lead right into
the jaws of death, where, amid the
sounds of shrieking shells, mingled
with the groans of your fallen com
rades, you faltered not; as we looked
upon that "Conquered Banner" we
Keowee courier. [volume] (Pickens Court House, S.C.) 1849-current, 1904-08-24

and noble sense your cause was not
lost. To you the young men of the
South must continue to look for the
inspiration of a noble cause, for lofty
fidelity to duty, for that broad patri-
otisn on which must rest the perpe-
tuity of American institutions. We
must learn the lesson of your lives,
of your sacrifice, of your devotion to
duty, and in 80 far as we fail TO
catch its true meaning, must we fail
in tho discharge Of our duty.
And, paradoxical as it may seem,
the same spirit which inspired you
in the former days, inspires you and
your sons to-day with like high
degree of devotion to the preserva-
tion of the honor and integrity of
these reunited States. 1t is now
Zone flag, one land, one heart, one hand
One nation evermore.'
And we can rejoice that it is 80,
for in and through it all, we read more
clearly the first words ever flashed
along an electric wire in America
"What hath God wrought?" While
we make answer from the depth
of our hearts in the words of
the Divine message first flashed by
the electric cable from hemisphere to
hemisphere, "Glory to God in the
highest, and on earth, peace, good
will toward men," By none can
this prayer be more fervently offered
to-day than by the old soldiers, whe-
ther they wore the blue or the gray.
1t is now not 80 much matter of
importance whether this or that vic
tory was won by the North or the
South, for victory, as Gen. Gordon
truly says, by either side, was a
monument to American valor. The
soldiers of the North and the South
have long since clasped hands across
the bloody chasm, each recognizing
in the other, foeman worthy of his
steel.
The conflict was inevitable, and,
after years of futile discussion, the
question was appealed from the
forum of debate to that of force.
You have the satisfaction Of know
ing that you did your best to pre-
serve the boundary lines set by the
fathers and founders of our govern
ment. This was the cause for which
you fought, and a glorious cause it
was.
But your ranks are rapidly thin
ming. The great majority of your
comrades answer roll-call on the
other side of the river. A few more
reunions, few more seasons, few
more years shall roll, and you, too,
will answer by thei side. Your
years have been graciously length
ened to see this day. You have come
down to us from the former genera.
