Newberry on Friday at the patriotic
rally. It was great occasion
was sorry that I could not hear all
of the speech of the doctor, and tina;
what 1 did was while standing on the
hard brick pavement. I wish that the
co,,nitttee of arrangements had 81
arranged that the newspaper men
could have had opportunity to take
a note, as it would have been pleas
7,re to have written more OF the
.sneech. but to stand on hard DrlcKs
for two or three hours is a little more
than my feet will permit, and :aen
there was no opportunity to write,
but / suppose the committee did nor
think of the news reporters, and We
Rave to do the best we can. WeH,
that is what we are trying to DO all
the time
There was a large crowd in the
city, and all the stores closed, ane
every one took part in the celebration.
The school children and the veter-
ans and the civilians and the bands
al marched in the parade with ban
&ers flying and the bands playing
The veterans carried the flag OF the
stars and bars, and there was old
glory alongside of it, and DR.. Snyder
referred to it beautifully in his speech

The members of the James D. Nance
camp occupied seats on the stage:
which was entirely proper The play
ing of Dixie and the singing of Amer
lea and the Star Spangled Banner
brought the audience to its feet and
,Gcalled for susty cheers, as they always
do anywhere in America where pat
riots are gathered together.
The children formed for the line
of march at the Speers street school,,
Boundary street and the high school:
and met the others at the court house
plaza. The march was led by W. a.
Hill on horse back, and following
were the Newberry Concert Ban's,
the Confederate veterans, the New
berry guards, the college cadets, the
high school children and the follow
ing schools as best we could see, from
the banners displayed If any should
be left out it is not Intentional, but
because we could not see the banner.
We are mentioning the names of the
schools and the order so that If IL
the future reference should be de-
sired to be had of it, it will be writ,
and for that reason we would be glad
to have it correct and if any are LETT
