ADDRESS OF WELCOME
BY l.. l.. WAGNON

Madam President, Fair Representa-
tives of Great Cause Omitted
Daughters of the Confederacy), La
dies and Gentlemen:
Just two sources furnish me cour-
age to stand as spokesman for the
City of Union as / face this great
audience tonight, composed not only
of the sturdiest of our citizens, but
of the fairest flower of the woman
hood of this great State (Which means
the whole world).
First: I am bring you these words
of greeting and extending this token
of welcome from hearts that in the
very nature of things, could not be
other than warm and true and hos
pitable. Union, for whom / speak, is
not only the "Pearl of the Piedmont" )"
not only can she justly claim her
quota of the fairest daughters and
sturdiest sons, but the very God of
Nature has been lavish with his
smiles; no country can boast more
salubrious climate, no purer water
ever bubbled from the bosom of Moth
er Earth and the arts and graces that
lend luSter to the eye, Scintilating
power to mind and grace and beauty
to body are cherished and preserved
her sons and daughters-not the
least Of these is the grace of hopi-
tality, as old as our first inhabitant
and warm enough to embrace every
fair member of the United Daughter
of the Confederacy.
But more, l claim for those for
whom | speak, for Union Gn Union
there is strength) so honored by your
presence and your choice of our city
as your convention home for 1916,
that is the very centre Of the purest
democracy and the cradle of loyalty,
patriotism, and the very cause that
you so beautifully and nobly represent
tonight-"The Confederacy."
1t has been worthily said of the i'm
mortal Washington, First in war,
first in peace, first in the hearts of
his countrymen"-all honor to the
"Father of our Great Country" but
lest you forget, l am claiming for
Union whose greeting l bring you and
whose warmest welcome lay at your
feet that none have ever gone before
her in loyalty, patriotism or service in

years the destiny and welfare of the
greatest nation and peoples on Gods
earth in the hands of that peerless
statesman and Southern gentleman,
Woodrow Wilson, great daily news
paper headed an editorial, "Women
Save Democratic Party" When l read
there that Wilson's election was made
possible by the majorities given to
Democracy in those States where wo-
lmen had been given the ballot, my
heart swelled with the thought once
more, once more, woman in the hour
of her country's need, has given her
best and that best, l verify believe,
insures to this country under his lead
ership, it's rightful place as the
mightiest evangel of the "Prince of
Peace" when the nations of the earth
lie exhausted, bleeding and dying in
the throes of the mightiest conflict
of all the ages.
When the jewels of Immortality are
garnered in the day of final account
surely none shall scintillate with more
radiance or splendor than the power
that shall have been potent in assuag-
ing the fires of hate and passion, that
have stopped and stemmed the tides
of blood that have poured so bru-
ktally on a thousand battlefelds, that
shall be bathed in the grateful tears
and prayers of millions and millions
of wives and mothers and widows who
are today enduring what you endured
for the Confederacy.
The greatest tragedy Of this age
and this great people is, its tendency
to forget, many a heart has gone 81
lent and broken to the grave, many a
life has been embittered and impov-
Iershed because of service, devotion
or sacrifice which has been cheerfully
given; has been forgotten and
Daughters of the Confederacy," you
have deserved the "well done" of all
right-thinking men, you have earned
the undying devotion of the thin line
of grey still on this side of the river:
you have won an exalted pedestal in
the hearts of all worthy sons by
keeping the altar fires burning, you
have crowned the brow with de-
served halo, of many an unnoted hero,
you have sifted the records and given
the world and to generations yet un-
born an untarnished record of heroism,
sacrifice and devotion, for all of which
we rise up and call you blessed" So
for what you are, for your unmeas-
ured and unreasonable contributions
for the most sacred history and ideals
that you have preserved and taught
the world to cherish; in the language
of an unknown author and with no
apology for such changes as have
made, l again bid you thrice welcome
and say:
What makes city great and strong?
Not architecture's graceful strength;
Not factories extended length
But (wo)men who see the civic wrong
And give their lives to make it right,
And turn it's darkness into light.
The Union times. [volume] (Union, S.C.) 1894-1918, 1916-11-24

the living Farr, Greer, Long, Hunter,
Norman, McNally, Young and Walker,
Hollingsworth and Ashford, can say
to you, Daughters of the Confederacy
who may be the mothers, wives and
sweethearts of the boys on the border
today, in all reverence, but sincerely,
as you are among us as our guests,
"Ask and you shall receive, knock and
it shall be opened to you, seek and
you shall find" And our only regret
and deepest disappointment shall be
to fail to impress you that it is our
sincere desire, that you shall, in fact,
as well as sentiment, be "queens of
all you survey"
Second: 1 am firmly convinced that
no cause is worthy to live and be
preserved in the history of mankind
that has not contributed to the happi-
ness and betterment of the human
family in some service or sacrifice,
or preserved for the use and guild
ance of the race, traditions and his
tory that will safeguard and perpetu-
ate ideals that uplift and inspire our
own best service and loyalty in the
nOuTS Ol Crisis anu nulfldn affairs.
Surely then for your own sake, I
can welcome you with a warm heart
and justly claim your presence as a
source of inspiration. Even partisan
Judges and historians in the light of
the years and the impregnable rocl,
of "Statesrights" which our forefath-
ers wrote into the constitution and
partisan interpretations have never
been able to efface, have come to
recognize and reluctantly admit the
justice and righteousness of the cause
for which our heroes of the Confed-
eracy fought; for let me pause long
enough to refute forever and in Ian
guage never to be forgotten, that only
the ignorant or prejudiced would say
that the "South fought for the preser-
walton of slavery" slavery was but
an incident; the right of secession,
now recognized as guaranteed under
the constitution was the inspiration,
that gave to the worlds gallery of
immortal heroes such men as Jack
son and lee, Stuart and Beaureguard
and Johnston and Hampton ,and i'm
bued the heroes of the grey with that
spirit that all the millions of men and

inexhaustible stores of munitions
could never conquer; but finally stalv-
ed into submission, that spirit, that
all fair-minded judges must admire
and honor through the years to come
and makes you noble daughters of
noble fathers, glad to be known to
the world as Daughters of the Con-
federacy."
With my heart aglow with the same
fires that lifted Lee to immortality:
that kept the face Of our fathers to
the enemy, even when hungry, half
starved and poorly clad and barefoot

blasts and icy SHOWS, / stand here to
tell you that | believe there could
have been no Confederacy, that there
could have been no "Scroll OF Honor"
written in the blood of the worlds
braveSt heroes, there would have been
no heroes to reverence, no memories
to cherish and no altar fires TO keep
burning had it not been for the "wo-
men of the Confederacy." They were
the source of inspiration, they are
they who stood as did the Spartan
mother when the news of the death
of her sons was brought to her and
said, "Would to God had thousand
sons to give for Sparta" They are
the heroines who gave to all genera
tlons to come the spirit of sacrifice,
courage and devotion that would have
made any Southern man who gave less
than his all on the altar Of his coun-
try service, poultroon and coward.
Gently reared and brought up upon
the breath of chivalry, left alone, un-
protected, unaided and undefended
from a menace worse than death, who
faced hunger, privation, hardship and
the meanest toll, that their dependents
might survive and that their fathers.
husbands and sons might defend the
right of secession, which in that crisis
meant the right to live.
In all the annals of the worlds his
tory, no greater contribution has been
given to inspire devotion, no greater
inspiration has been offered to inspire
sacrifice, no army of patriots has
ever been followed with more right
eous prayers-than our own mothers
and wives Of the Confederacy gave to
our hero fathers who wore the grey. -.

lots was fought and the smoke of the

ROAD SIGNS NEEDED.

With the increasing number Of
strangers in these parts it is of prime
importance that roads be properly
marked with signs.
Not only for the benefit of strangers
however, but also for the benefit OF
local residents who have taken to
trips il the country.
The constant increase in the use OF
automobiles. for instance, has induced
thousands of persons who otherwise
lived and circulated in a restricted
area, to so far afield for recreation
and pleasure. These are frequently
puzzled to find that name, nature and
direction of the road they happen to
be travelling is a mystery. They thus
lave difficulty in getting their bear
ings and are forced to waste time and
inconvenience residents through ex-
tensive inquiries.
A good road ssign lasts long time
and there is no reason why roads
Should not be marked as carefully as
are city streets.

EDUCATION AND PLAY.

Arkansas educators have been told.
along with the educators throughout
the nation, that the public schools sys-
TEN has largely overlooked play as a
factor in education Children are
hustled off to school, forced through
a mill surrounded by books, and given
the impression that play time is a
side issue in the lives of children.
That play need not be encouraged
or supervised is theory of a past
generation that still persists. Yet the
education of every child depends to
a large extent upon the nature of it's
play, the character of its companions,
and the interest it's parents and
teachers take in this regard.
No matter what Johnny Is told at
school, if when out of the building
he hobknobs with worthless compan-
ions. or sees scenes that make for a
loose conception of certain phases of
life, 1t is certain that an undesirable
impression will be left upon his mind.
The new idea is that play has an
Needing value in education, and that
it is the duty of parents and teachers
to be as irquiring and careful about
Johnny and Mary's methods Of play
as they are regarding their progress
at chool.

Reports from all over the country
show that, the impulse to construc.
better highways is eliminating in
wiser expenditures. In other words,
taxpayers are demanding more for
their money but are willing to pay
for improved highways when properly
built, and do so without a "kick." The
action of congress in Offering federal
aid promises to give a tre tremendous
impetus to the good roads movement
which in the next few years is
destined to reach states and counties
as yet holding aloof.
