No higher compliment can conic to any man limn that of being accorded the prtvltodgc and pleasure of par¬ ticipating »oday in these sacred, in¬ teresting exeercises. South Carolina, cooling lier brow in tho pure air of her lofty mountains, and laving her feet In the warm wa¬ ters of the Atlantic, and utilising the brains of her SOBS and daughters, will yet realize the dream of her ma¬ terial greatness. And tho splendid people of this beautiful growing city oi Anderson, and of this hinorio old county, tell us in unmistakable tones that ? in honoring the presence of Confederate soldiers here today, no token of es- loeiu eau bc too profuse, no mark of respect can he too emphatic, and no rendition of honor can be too con¬ spicuous. Tho hand upon the dial cannot be seen us lt moves, but lt does move nevertheless and i:o curely, as lt keeps pace with the circling sun, so surety is tho fame and glory of these Confederate Soldier« safe in thc hands of these patriotic daughters of the Confederacy. All good people respect and admire South Carotins for her glorious mem¬ ories, her gallant sons and ber fair daughters. We love South Carolina loo, for lier fertile fields, and her desolate battle scarred old hills; we lovo South Carolina Cor the rights «HA has maintained, and for the suffer¬ ing she has enaured; we love ber fer all of her brave men whose blood stained almost every battle field, but we love her best of all for the- sacred dust she bolds of General Wade Hampton, and'thousands of others who su/Tcred and endured for-us. Itererfs to .Stirring Days. Reverting today to that period In your country's history when this fair land was submerged in war and bloodshed and recalling its dangers and discomforts, and its toils and Its trials, oftentime with naught in haver¬ sack save porched corn, we would not, if we could, blet out one day's record from the memory. Over its somber shadows fell then, and falls now, that light that comes to every heart in tho path of duty. There cortes, too, across the waste of yearn, a jiision of that knightly soldier, Saime) M. Wilkes, adjutant of the .ttl South Carolina Regiment, who yielded' up his young and promising lifo on tho altar of hi» country in the first battle of Manases. Methinks wu see him now aa he rode-the lines with the light of hattie in his eyes and the thunderous charge upon his Ups. He rode tuto our hearts, the imper- sonstion of chivalry, and he tides there still.' These-cuff buttons in n.v cuffs, with the palmetto tree and the coat of arms of South Carolina on tholr face, are valued far beyond the computation of dollars and cents be¬ cause, they aro tho buttons that were taken from the Confederate grey coat worn by Adjutant Wilkes. His deeds and virtues- are being perpetuated and sacredly guarded by his worthy son, Colonel Samuel W. Wilkes of Atlanta. Thc body of Adjutant Wilkes waa hurled In your cemetery here, and rests today beside that of bis beloved wife, one of thc sweetest and noblest women I have ever known. As long as lookout Mountain rears Its head above the bloody plains of Chickamauga Uko the Chimbarazo of the Andes, so long will th? sacrifices of such men remain bri'jht upon the pages of history: ' Confedérate Army Superior The world's histories fail to give an aeon nt of any army under sod general, on any field, that equals thc Confederate Army. It was that army whose first shot, fired at Fort Slim- tor, In your State, in 1861. that echoed at the throne of royalty the world over, and wan muffled Into fret dom's song In every household where the op¬ pressor's heels was felt, and1 you, my comrades, who composed that army, you gave Manassss to Beauregard; you woro the music of tb« battle of Soven Pines into laurel wreaths for Joseph E. Johnston, and you caused the waters of the Chlcamauga to murmur eternally, the name of Brau¬ ton Bragg. It ls beyond the teach o' either brush or chisel to redeem to thc Imagination such scenes and such med aa shine forth in the history ol the 2500 battles and combats of the Southern war. and not until sonic now-born Homer shall touch Ute harp can mankind be penetrated by a sense of tuolr heroic deeds, and then alone In the grand- majestic minís¬ trele, y of epic song!

Sentiment provided a shield of bull rusher for tho babe of destiny, and gave to Moses, the deliverer, the magic, power to save his people through the divided waters of thc Red Bea. Sentiment gave to Damon his unyielding devotion for Pythias, and led Joan of Arc to.sacrifice the ¡life of n heroine on toe.miter ot her country's love; sentiment nerved the noble manhood of the South to sacri¬ fice life and fortune in defense of a cause righteous as heaven is just!

Tells of the South In HerJ

Wilkes of Anderson FiTribute To Jef

My Friends ifnd ( onföderale Com¬

rades: ..

No higher compliment can conic to

any man limn that of being accordedthe prtvltodgc and pleasure of par¬ticipating »oday in these sacred, in¬teresting exeercises.South Carolina, cooling lier brow

in tho pure air of her lofty mountains,and laving her feet In the warm wa¬

ters of the Atlantic, and utilising thebrains of her SOBS and daughters,will yet realize the dream of her ma¬terial greatness.And tho splendid people of this

beautiful growing city oi Anderson,and of this hinorio old county, tellus in unmistakable tones that ? inhonoring the presence of Confederatesoldiers here today, no token of es-loeiu eau bc too profuse, no mark ofrespect can he too emphatic, and no

rendition of honor can be too con¬

spicuous.Tho hand upon the dial cannot be

seen us lt moves, but lt does movenevertheless and i:o curely, as ltkeeps pace with the circling sun, so

surety is tho fame and glory of theseConfederate Soldier« safe in thc handsof these patriotic daughters of theConfederacy.

All good people respect and admireSouth Carotins for her glorious mem¬ories, her gallant sons and ber fairdaughters. We love South Carolinaloo, for lier fertile fields, and herdesolate battle scarred old hills; welovo South Carolina Cor the rights«HA has maintained, and for the suffer¬ing she has enaured; we love ber ferall of her brave men whose bloodstained almost every battle field, butwe love her best of all for the- sacreddust she bolds of General WadeHampton, and'thousands of otherswho su/Tcred and endured for-us.

Itererfs to .Stirring Days.Reverting today to that period In

your country's history when this fairland was submerged in war andbloodshed and recalling its dangersand discomforts, and its toils and Itstrials, oftentime with naught in haver¬sack save porched corn, we wouldnot, if we could, blet out one day'srecord from the memory. Over itssomber shadows fell then, and fallsnow, that light that comes to everyheart in tho path of duty. Therecortes, too, across the waste of yearn,a jiision of that knightly soldier,Saime) M. Wilkes, adjutant of the.ttl South Carolina Regiment, whoyielded' up his young and promisinglifo on tho altar of hi» country in thefirst battle of Manases. Methinkswu see him now aa he rode-the lineswith the light of hattie in his eyes andthe thunderous charge upon his Ups.He rode tuto our hearts, the imper-sonstion of chivalry, and he tidesthere still.' These-cuff buttons in n.vcuffs, with the palmetto tree and thecoat of arms of South Carolina ontholr face, are valued far beyond thecomputation of dollars and cents be¬cause, they aro tho buttons that weretaken from the Confederate grey coatworn by Adjutant Wilkes. His deedsand virtues- are being perpetuated andsacredly guarded by his worthy son,Colonel Samuel W. Wilkes of Atlanta.Thc body of Adjutant Wilkes waahurled In your cemetery here, andrests today beside that of bis belovedwife, one of thc sweetest and noblestwomen I have ever known.As long as lookout Mountain rears

' Confedérate Army SuperiorThe world's histories fail to give

an aeonnt of any army under sodgeneral, on any field, that equals thcConfederate Army. It was that armywhose first shot, fired at Fort Slim-tor, In your State, in 1861. that echoedat the throne of royalty the worldover, and wan muffled Into fret dom'ssong In every household where the op¬pressor's heels was felt, and1 you, mycomrades, who composed that army,you gave Manassss to Beauregard;you woro the music of tb« battle ofSoven Pines into laurel wreaths forJoseph E. Johnston, and you causedthe waters of the Chlcamauga tomurmur eternally, the name of Brau¬ton Bragg. It ls beyond the teacho' either brush or chisel to redeem tothc Imagination such scenes and suchmed aa shine forth in the history olthe 2500 battles and combats of theSouthern war. and not until sonicnow-born Homer shall touch Ute harpcan mankind be penetrated by asense of tuolr heroic deeds, and thenalone In the grand- majestic minís¬trele,y of epic song!

In ray imagination I have sean Na¬poleon putting down the mob trParis; 1 have seen him at the headof his army tn Italy; I have seen hinon tho Alps, mingling the eagles olFranco with the eagles of tb« crag;I have seen him at Marengo and Absntralits; I have seen Wm in the steadow of the pyramids, when he told hitsoldiers forty centuries would loo!down upon them; 1 have seen hincrossing the bridge at Lodi with a tricolor In his hand; I have seen hinbuilding np aa empire ont of th»ruins of Europe by means ot hts owtIngenuity, .but, with all that I woul<rather have tho record of my lovabbfriend.
