Every year the Confederate surviv-
ors OF Charleston. South Carolina, and
their friends. and the generous
minded folk of that community who
have not forgotten the men who made
South Carolina glorious in the mill
tary annals of this country, devote
the Tenth of May to their celebration
with PRAYER and poetry and flowers
and speech. The celebration this year
was In perfect keeping with the spirit
of the occasion. A Memorial Day ora
ton was delivered BY Robert Latham,
editor of The News and Courier, who,
while not belittlins the industrial and
commercial advancement of the South,
yet pleaded that in the rush and roar
of materialism the lofty ideals of the
past should not be forgotten, and that
the glory of the story of the men
who made Southern valor immortal
should be cherished forever. That was
the right sort of talk. A people with
out memories is a people without
