The Anderson daily intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson, S.C.) 1914-1915, 1914-05-28

.
Mayor. and citizens of Anderson,
ladies and gentlemen:
] esteem it q pleasure and privilege
on behalf.of the S. C. Division u. C. ",
TO give expression OF our garteful ack-
nowledgement for the cordial welcome
to Anderson. In this busy and COM
mercial age when each community is
vieing one with the other for advnee-
ment in all branches of industry;
when each man, as well as each com
~mdnity is engrossed In business and
attracted only by that which produces
wealth and. now that half century
has INTERVIEWED since the Confederate
cause suffered defeat, communities are
seldom found eager to join the Con-
federate soldier In celebrating his past
history. Such diversion means sac
rifiee; sacrifice of time and sacrifice
OF money. For such service we
should be grateful.
Like oaseg In the desert which serve
to revive and refresh the weary traRA
elet, SO these annual reunions revive
in the Inemory Of Confederate soidfePS
recollections Of the past; furnishs the
principles for which they fought and
for which so many, died; and render
still more sacred the cause which was
lost. 1t has become a fashion to call
It the "L6st Cause,p but resent the
idea. The battle was indeed lost but
the principles for which we fought can
never die. They were principles up
on which the structure OF our goyefnt
ment was bniIded and must survive so
long as our government be maintained.
Truth Is mighty and shall prevail; If,
therefore, the principles for which we
fought were indeed true, then they
must live forever. Truth when elici:-
ed, never dies, as 1t descends through
time II may be transmitted from state
toistate. from monarch to conInort
wealth, but its life Is never extlnguisnS
ed and never permitted TO fall; to the
ground. A great truth, If mo- existing
fiatibn wnnld assume its gnardianships
has power, such lis Gods Providence
to- call o nation into being and life by
the lie which 1t in1parts..'n So the.
principles for which You fought are
ii1perishabfe,. and you are the heroes
OF q cause that should live so long as
truth and Justice shall triumph. Tbg,
ffihhto; paid to those who gave theIS
lives q; sacfiiiee and which ad3rnsf the
