GOVERNOR MANNING PAYS
TRIBUTE TO OUR SOLDIERS

(The Greenville Daily News.)
"You will deserve, and shall have
the honor and lasting gratitude Of
our countrymen," writes Governor
Manning to the commander Of the
18th Infantry, formerly the First
South Carolina regiment. The letter
expresses the sentiments Of the gov.
ernor towards the boys who aretgo.
ing forth to fight the great battle
for the Palmetto State. 1t has some
thing Of the 'best Of luck" thoughts
and is a perfect tribute to the
"pluck, daring and dash" Of the
Carolina lads. The letter follows:
Col. P. Z. McCully, -.
Headquarters, 11sth Infantry,
Camp Sewer,
Greenville, s. c.
My Dear Colonel:
1 am in receipt of your telegram
and letter, and the message from
Colonel Springs, advising me OF the
necessity for calling off the parade
and review of our South Carolina
troops. 1t goes without saying that
this is a distinct disappointment and
regret to me and my staff, as well
as the families and friends OF our
regiments. Of course, they and l
understand it, however, and are
satisfied that this course was justified
by the circumstances.
Please say to'the officers and men
of the South Carolina regiments
that I had looked forward with ca
ger pleasure to seeing them. When
these regiments returned from the
Mexican border, it was with pride
and. qualification that I reviewed
them. and witnessed their military
bearing, and the wonderful results
of their military training and exper-
fence. l am confident that their
military training is now even more
marked than ever before. Please
saw to them, that while I am no
longer their commandments, my
interest and pride in them are un-
abated. 1 know they have had their
disappointment in not always secur-
ing the promotions, ets., which they
felt they we're due, but they have
borne these disappointments as SOL
diers should, and I commend them
for their respect for authority, and
for accepting bravely whatever
came to them.
1t may DO tkat orders to proceed
overseas will como before / can see
them and talk to them again. 1
know the soul-stirrins sentiments

WELCOME, VETERANS!

The Confederate Veterans OF the
state are with us today. We. vel
come them to the city of Abbeville.
We shall not again have the pleas
use of entertaining the delegates
to a state reunion of these brave
and gallant survivors of the South's
great army. Therefore, we should
and do, take a great deal OF pleas
use in undertaking to give to these
fighting men of the sixties a pleas
ant meeting in Abbeville.
Though the city is small as COM
pared with other places where tne
veterans have gathered in their an
nual reunions, nevertheless, we hope
that our people will open their
homes, and more than that, their
hearts, to these men who counteo
it as nought to die, if opportunity
might be given to you and to me OF
the South to work out u own des-
tiny. They endured all things, they
suffered all things, and they fought
as men had never fought before, To
make the South free. 1t took the
hired Hun to defeat them. The
overwhelming numbers at the
North, with the great resources OF
the Northern section of the country
staggered at the blows these men
struck. They were the greatest sol
diers the world had seen in that
day.
Therefore, the people Of this
city, and the people of any city,
should be glad to have these old SOL
diers as their guests. They should
gather around them to do them
honor. They should lose no oppor-
tunity to give of the best they are
able to make this meeting n of
pleasure and pleasant recollections
for the old veterans. We feel sure
that the people of the city Of Alb
beville, where the people were first
to assert Southern rights, and
where jefferson Davis and his cabi-
net at last formerly acknowledged
that the fight was over, a city which
gave to the Confederacy so many
distinguished officers and so many
gallant men, will undertake to make
our visitors today feel that they
have arrived at the home of the
Confederate Soldier.

which fill their breases, I know, and
they know, that our cause is just
and right, and that this conviction
grips them in giving themselves to
this cause, regardless Of cost and
sacrifice. The issue is this world
tragedy is, "Shall we be free, OF
shall we be enslaved?'" We shall
fight until Prussian militarism is
crushed, and the world is made a
safe place for decent people to live
in. We will win because we are
right. Right. will pryail, and I con-
fidently look forward to the day
when South Cardinals troops will
share in the victory over the Hob
enzollern and the Potsdam gang,
when through suffering and sacri-
flee u honor and ~self-respect will
be maintained. You will deserve,
and shall have the honor and last
ing gratitude of your countrymen.
We, your friends and families, all
wish you God speed. We will follow
you in thought and deed, and our
prayers will be with you now and
always. On a foreign soil you will
go as representatives of America.
It will be an, inspiration to our al
lies that Americans, brought up and
surrounded by an atmosphere of lib
erty and freedom, stand for the
ideals of honor and truth, and that
the sanctity Of our women is held
inviolable. Our allies will judge
you by your acts. They will witness
your courage and daring in battle;
let them also see your virtues in
your private life, and in your char
acter. You have the spirit which
animated our fore-fathers of 1776,
and that spirit which carried us
through Brandywine, Valley Forge
and Yorktown will carry us through
this war. Our patriotism 10 burn
ing with a new light, for we are
fighting, not only for liberty, but
for America, for our homes, for the
safety Of our women and children,
and for justice and Righteousness
in the world.
In this war there will be two
armies on our side, one on the firing
line, and one supplying the food,
arms and ammunition, equipment
and clothing for you who are on the
battlefield. We will rely on you who
will do, the fighting; you may rely.
on us who cannot be with you on

SOLDIERS ALL.

The gallant men of South Caro-
lima are on the way to the front.
The Hun has denied to this reunited
country the right to be neutral,
and the right to be free. The coun-
try has called the young men to
arms. The young men of South
Carolina have answered the call.
Whether they r at ports of en-
barkation, or on the high seas, or
whether they have landed on the
other side, it makes no difference.
They are on their way to the front.
The young men of Abbeville, the
first to hear the country's call to
arms, are with the rest. They have
offered their lives for their coun-
try. What more can they do?
These boys who today are going
to the battlefelds Of France, are
the grandsons, and the g~reat-grand-
sons, the nephews and kinsmen of
the men who are our guests today.
They are Of the same flesh and
blood as we're the men of the South
.ern army. AS one generation of
soldiers is passing, another marches
to the front. That they will be as
brave and as true as their fore
fathers we all know. That they are
soldiers of like mettle with them is
enough for us to know.
: When we honor the men who are
with as today, We honor the men
who have gone and n going over
