REUNION OF ORR'S REGIMENT.
THE MEN WHO WORE THE GRAY HELD
PLEASANT MEETING IN ANDERSON.
[Anderson Mail, October 8. ]

l~aNSApva AAAeshb NSsOUoN vi
The people of Anderson have no
control over the weather. If they
had had such control they would
have provided sunshine and gentle
breezes for the reunion of Orr's Regi-
ment. The weather has greatly in
terfered with the occasion, but never
theless the veterans who were here
last night and to-day have been en-
joying themselves.
This has been a reunion of and for
the veterans of Orr's regiment.
They have been the guests of the
city and everything their hosts could
think of has been placed at their
disposal.
Despite the inclement weather the
veterans have been enjoying them
selves. They have enjoyed them
selves mingling with each ether and
recounting the experiences of by
gone days. They have enjoyed
themselves only as men who have
faced death together on the field of
battle and endured the hardships of
camp life can do.
The reunion began with an infor-
mai meeting in the court house.
This is really the best part of each
reunion-this informal meeting on
Tuesday night. 1t is an old custom
and will be kept up as long as there
are veterans left to hold reunions.
Last night Capt. A. w. Guyton
was made chairman, but there was
little if any formality. Short talks
were made by different veterans and
all were interesting and enjoyable
Anecdotes were told and pranks were
played as the cigar snake curled to-
ward the "oeiling" and many gallant
deeds were recalled, together will
many laughable experiences. 1t ii
impossible to recount them all, Of
even the half of them.
The meeting in the court house
lasted for several hours and the vete
rams finally adjourned to seek {
nights rest preparatory to the exer
cises of to-day.
This morning the veterans assem-
bled at Buena Vista Park. There
were some so or more veterans pres
ent, together with number of citi
zens from the CITY and the ladies O
the r. E. Lee Chapter, U. D. G.
who had kindly volunteered to fur
nish the music for the occasion.
The stage of the pavilion had
been draped with the Confederate
colors, with the grand old Stars anG
Bars as the center piece and small
Confederate flags at the side of the
stage.
The veterans marched into the
hall to the inspiring strains of Dixie
and the meeting was called to order
at 11.30 O'Clock by Gen. II. r. Hemp.

the Survivors Association. =

address of welcome on behalf of the
people of the city. Mayor McCully
is developing into quite an orator.
and his address to-day was gem
1t was chaste and eloquent and over
flowing with love and welcome for
the Confederate soldiers. He assured
the visitors of their welcome and
vouchsafed to them that this city
and all within it belongs to the vete-
rams as long as they care to remain.

Hon. G. f. Tolly, an ex-Mayor of
the city and himself a Confederate
veteran, was introduced to make an
address of welcome on behalf of
Camp Stephen ID. Lee. Mr.. Tolly
is q good talker on any occasion and
to-day he was at his best. He spoke
as veteran to veterans and heart to
heart. lie grew eloquent and tender
at times and his remarks were fol-
lowed with intense interest, especially
when he spoke of the fast approach
ing time when there shall be no more
of these reunions and the Confede-
rate army shall have passed from the
earth forever. "There are not many
of us left" he said, "and we cannot
recruit our ranks. This old army is
passing from the earth. May it
please Almighty God in His good
ness to receive all of US into His
army on high"
Gen. Hemphill made the response
on behalf of the Survivors Assccis-
tion. He recalled the fact that the
Orr's Rifles Survivors Association
was organized in the old Masonic
hall in Anderson on the night that
the body of Col. Jas. L. Orr, the first
commander, who died in Russia,
reached his old home. Regular an
nual meetings have been held ever
since. Orr's regiment made glori-
GUS history and it has been the duty
of the survivors to collect that his
tory for preservation. The annual
reunions are always pleasant and
especially those held in Anderson.
Gen. Hemphill returned the thanks
of the survivors for the courtesies
that have been shown, and then the
business meeting of the association
was held.
j. w. Thompson read the minutes
of the last meeting, which was held
at Honea Path last year.
"A letter was read from Col. J. N.
Brown, who had been invited to de-
liver one of the addresses on the oc-
casion, expressing his regret at his
inability to be present. Col. Brown
has been on trip North for the
benefit of his health and has not yet
returned home.
The association then went into the
election of officers to serve for the
ensuing year.
On motion of Maj. IN. Vandiver
all the old officers were reelected,
as follows
r. r. Hemphill, president; w. Il.
McGill, first vice president; r. Y.
II. Lowery, second vice president ;
A. M. Guyton, third vice president
j. w. Thompson, secretary and
treasurer.
Rev. M. MCGEE was elected chap
lain in place of Rev. j. T. Mcbride,
who has moved out of the State.
The following committee was ap-
pointed to select the time and place
of the next meeting:
w. T.. McGill, chairman r. Y.
H. Lowery, J. w. Thompson, J. w.
Ellis, John Eskew, j. N. Vandiver.
The following resolution was
adopted:

ion, to wit:

Resolved, that we will ever cherish
the names of these noble men who
were ever faithful to duty in every
relation of life and have deserved
the "well done" of their country in
their day and generation.
Gen. Hemphill then made his an
nual address. He thanked his com.
rades for the honor of his reelection,
this being his eighth term. In the
course of his address Gen. Hemphill
took issue with the generally ac-
cepted idea that Abraham Lincoln
was a friend to theSSouth. Lincoln
was an enemy of the South, and
owed his election to that fact. His
whole official courseJshows this, as
any student of history can verify for
himself. 81 do notIwant anybody to
cherish animosity," said Gen. Hemp
hill, "but / do not want the rising
generation to have wrong idea of
Lincoln. The truth is tmighty and
must prevail"

mayor of this city, was next intro.

the lot on South Main Street situated
between Hamilton's Lane and Lake

for the erection of the central power

etc. The Lot is an ideal location and
In the event of the centraliZing forces

is the intention of Promoter Click to
appear before the next meeting of
Smyrna Town Council to ask that this
! property be exempt from taxation Ow
ing to the good such an industry
will be to the town. Loads of trolley
ties and other material are coming in
and it begins to look like business.
1t is understood that Dover was anx-
ious to have the central power station
and shops there and would like to have
had Dover made the headquarters foi
the proposed trolley line, and that the
route be changed so as to run from Do
yer to Woodland Beach with branch line
or spur to Smyrna. Mr.. Click has al
along felt more inclined to Smyrna
since the movement first started here
and the location seems better in thu
event of the Kent County line connect

Delaware City. Despite the delays
the affairs of the Company are pro

that they will be thoroughly and per

ABUNDANCE OF ALL KINDS
FRUIT PROMISED GROWERS
BUDS NOW BELIEVED TO BE SAFE FROM
BITING FROSTS; SCALE UNDER CONTROL
C.E. Speakman Comes to the Front With One of
the Most Promising Peach 0chards in this
Vicinity; Other Growers Encouraged.

The advent of May bridges over the
chasm and into the arc of safety the
greatest fruit crop that the Delaware
Maryland peninsula has, ever known.
The fruit crop is reckoned as absolutely
safe from the biting frosts that devas-
tate fruit in single night. Through
out the entire peninsula the delicate
buds have passed through the winter
without the slightest injury, the gen.
eral set of fruit is very heavy and
every indication is that all varieties
and all kinds will yield most abund-
antly. After the growers had con-
quered all diseases of the orchard and
vineyard, the great battle with the
San Jose Scale has been fought.
Growers Lave taken up this fight with
nerve and courage that Is most ad
mmable, and with the aid of science
| and the constant attention of the State
and her agricultural experts and pro-
fessors, and an earnestness never be-
fore shown on this peninsula the sys-
tematic spraying has been carried on
in practically every orchard, the little
destroyers have fallen off, dead, and
the trees have again glOwed with the
health and bloom of spring.

ward G. Walls, n. F. Wilds, S. G..

are making every preparation now
to harvest big yield. 1t is con-
ceded by all these men that the pros
poets never looked brighter for fruit
crop. Prof. Wesley Webb. of Dover
who acts as the State entomologis
is confident that no harm can possibly
come from the cicada of the 18th year
or 12-year locusts, which are, it il
thought, due to arrive this year anC

aware stand practically unanimou
that no precaution need be takel

danger from them is very small indeed
