The GreenyiIle Reunion.

Mr.. Editor: We are just back from
GrcCnvillC, whore Wc attended one Of
the grandcSt meetings Of the old sol
diCrS that have gone down i'm history.
Not being an old soldier, not even son
of one of them, we could not enjoy the
meeting like one Of thcm however, it
did us good to see them meet each other
from other counties and also outside Of
the State Of South Carolina.
State Commander General Carwilc
presided at all the meetings and he was
the right man in the right place, de
serving much credit for the success Of
the reunion. Between 1000 and 1900
veterans there were i'm attcndanccS
GrcCnvllc did herself credit when She
threw open her doors to these grand old
veterans who fought for one of the
grandcst causes that history has ever
recorded. The veterans were hand
sOmcly fed on the college campus by
the wives and daughters of those vet
Grams and everything done by those
good ladies that would make a man feel
that after all the revcrscs Of life there
was something to live for after all
The feature of the reunion was the
address of Col. r.. f.. Lee. of Virginia,
grandson Of ''Morsc Robert, " and then
the magnificent orations of Miss Lump
kins and Rev. Copeland of Georgia,
each doing himself credit much more
than my pen is able to do. Things went
off finely and everybody was happy.
Laurcns will speak for herself. Win
only be too glad to take care of the old
vets when the time affords itself Coils.
Crews, Traynham, Wharton and Sheriff
Duckctt and many others seemed to be
i'm the lead to give the boys a grand
time and especially Sheriff Duckett,
who was very often called on to help
with the grandcst songs Of this great
land. Mr.. Editor, do hope that some
one will write up the occasion that can
give it Justice and a more detailed ac-
count. May those old vets see many a
day to come.
