submit to authority to have a voice
in their own government John
Temple Grave says the Confederate
reunion at Washington cannot fail to
carry a national significance. They
could never come to a better place
at a better time. The sight Of them
the sound of them-those old men
with gray heads and broken bodies
and brave hearts and above all, the
love and honor, the respect and rev.
erance shown them after 50 years
of memory, will tell the republic
some things that it needs at this time
to remember.
1t will tell to the young American
manhood of this crucial day. facing
the perils of war, that the men who
serve their own land according to
their own convictions and have been
willing to offer their fortunes and
their lives upon the altar of reo-
pies convictions, have never yet been
forgotten and never will be forgotten
by the people for whom they fought.
That it is a great brave race from
which we Americans come, that we
are the "sons Of the sires," that We
are the spawn Of heroes who knew
how to fight and did fight as meu
have seldom fought before.
These men in their presence will
breathe from the battlefelds Of 1861
65 message of duty and devotion to
our country today.
They show by their presence in
the capitol of the nation that they
are ever ready to maintain the hon
or any integrity of the United States
as they were for their own beloved
Southland.
Surely the history Of men of such
deeds of valor and loyalty should not
be allowed to pass unrecorded.

county has done so much to save the
names and perpetuate the memories
of the soldiers Of the State, who died
upon the fields of battle. Sewberry
furnished three historians OF the war.
John a. Chapman, in his annals OF
Newberry," has collected the names
and war record of every man that
went from the county. Major j. +. j.
Caldwell, a member of Gen. Meow

bered as long as there is memory in
the land. Goodiy is the heritage that
you hand down to your children and
your children's children. To teach
the lesson and to write the history
of this glorious struggle is the duty
which the United Daughters Of the
Confederacy have taken upon them
selves and generations yet unborn
will feel the influence of their work;
they are gathering the data which
! will be handed down to posterity.
No one can estimate the effect of this
influence How can one tell the ef-
! feet upon the mind Of one youth of
the South of true picture drawn OF.
the heroism of the men who wore the
gray, who were not defeated, but
simply overcome, which spirit makes
the Confederate veteran walk proudly
, among US today, conscious OF the
fact that secession was not rebel
lion. Conscious were they also that
secession was not meant to destroy
the union as their fathers gave it
, to them, but that it meant super
guarantee and security of their
rights. Thus they accepted the con-
test forced upon them with the eager
and resolute courage, characteristic
Of the Souths proud spirited people.
One cause for Indignation to the
Southern soldier was the charge that
be was fighting to retain the instl-
tuition Of slavery. He knew that from
among the fighting ranks not one SOL
der out of 80 ever owned or expect
! ed to own slaves. How was it that
Lee and Jackson had seen fit to free
their slaves at their own pleasure
and yet Gen. Grant saw fit to retain,
his until the proclamation of emanci-
pa,io1e Was it the great spirit Of
the North in mercy for the black?
Indeed not, and the Southern man
knew it. And so it was from the
spirit of defense that old men and
Young men gladly walked from their
homes Of peace and through hunger
and cold and heat and pain until
four long years had dragged their
way to a close, they gladly waged
war on coer cion and conquest, beat
ing them back until every resource
had been spent. This spirit is the
proud heritage Of the South today
and will be through all the tomor-
VOWS. 'The future Of the war-swept
South would have had no hope if her
sons and daughters had been Of
weaker fibre, but the same strength
that upheld them through the four
year struggle came to their rescue
and they have conquered"
Now that after the lapse OF so
many years the North and the South
are united under one flag and North
ern and Southern men serve together
in the same armies, they inherit the
traditions of both sides in the Con-
federate war. Which shall they fol-
low? Those of Sherman and Sheri-
dan Or those of Beaureguard and Lee.
No answer ia necessary IN day OF
high civilization like the present.
Today with the roar OF the cannon
almost in our ears, war with all its
horrible features again becomes
reality. History repeats itself. 1t ls
natural that it should, human nature
is the same in all ages. To quote

Funeral OF Buffalo Bill Was Held
Last Sunday

The funeral of Colonel w. F.
Cody buffalo Bid who died in
Denver three months ago, following
which the body was placed in a
vault, was conducted Sunday,
June 3rd. The remains were in
tered on Lookout mountain at a
point overlooking Denver and the
plains which stretch for hundreds
of miles toward the Mississippi river
This last resting place has been pre-
pared by the city of Denver, and
soon there will be erected above the
grave a monument typifing Ccdy as
the noted Indian scout and friend
of the red man. The services were
under the auspiciesof Golden City
Lodge of Masons, the first and old
est in the state acting for the North
Platte Lodge of Wyoming, of which
Colonel Codyhad been member for
forty-seven years The tomb has
been blasted out of solid rock on
the crest of the mountain at a point
where the old scout had expressed
desire to find his last rest The
burial ceremony was simple, the
idea OF a pageant having been
abandoned.

Railroads should spare no effort
to supply the building industry
with cars needed to transport
Government, State,
county and municipal authorities
should encourage the continuance
of all kinds of building. Road
and street improvements in par
ticular should go on unabated.
Bad roads and streets are factors of
first importancein the present high
cost Of Jbodstuffs. Never before
was the improvement of highways
so essential.
The lumber, brick, cement, lime,
sand, gravel, stone and other build
ing materials are basic. Neither
Government regulations nor rail
raod restrictions should be impos-
ed unnecessarily to interfere with
them If any action is taken which
results in the prostration of so
fundamentally important indus
tries, there is real danger of a sur
plus of unemployed labor, a sur
plus of railroad cars and a crippl-
ing of business that will seriously
embarrass the Government in fl
nancing the war.

DON'T LOSE YOUR HEAD

In every crowd there is always
somebody who is ready to yell
"fire!" Then the panic starts.
When order is restored, everybody
wonders why everybody else lost
his head
When President Wilson issued
his war proclamation and called
upon the people Of the United
States to conserve their resources
for the struggle ahead, he did not
mean that they should stop spend
ing money. He did mean that use
less expenditures should stop, but
that was nothing new. Business
consists of buying and selling.
Certain kinds of business are
fundamental The building bust
ness is one of them.
There need be no curtailment in
building or road construction.
Let both public and private useful
building construction proceed.
production and handling of build
ing materials and public and pri-
vate construction work are funda-
mental industries of the country

tent with maintaining our prosper,
