The Confederate Re-Union Will
be Held at the Capitol of
This Great Country.
Every Confederate veteran should
go. This will be the biggest thing
of the kind ever held. If you
do not go now you may never see
the capitol of this great country of
ours. This is your opportunity.
Ton will see the cleanest, prettiest
city in the United States-if not
in the worid. And you will have
the pleasure of seeing the President,
the grandest man in the world to
day (though I heard one rough neck
say he did not admire him, but he
was just a rough neck) according'to
my way of thinking. Then, too,
yon can see the historic Potomac,
along whose banks two great armies
struggled for mastery for four
years. Crossing this river you can
visit Mount Vernon and Arlington,
the homes of Washington and Lee,
the fathers of this great country of
ours. In fact your eyes will grow
dim looking at so many wonderful
things that you have never thought
of. So come on, boys, and let's go.
You can see thousands of th?
boys in blue of the Grand Army of
the Republic. They have contrib
uted largely to this re-union. And
they are all tame now; they won't
hnrt you. I found out that when I
attended the great peace celebration
at Gettysburg. Sixty thousand of
the blue and the gray met on the
hallowed ground of Gettysburg,
consecrated by the blood of the
gray and the blue under the Ameri
can flag, to do honor to the soldiers
still living and to pay loving
homage to those who are at rest in
the stillness of their slumbers.
Neither stress of time nor distance
of home shall break or blur that
friendship that our brothers sealed
there with their blood. That meet
ing did more to bring the North and
South together than any other one
thing. It was simply an old time
Methodist love feast.
And this meeting at the capitol,
weaving together the stars and
6tripes and the stars and bars, that
of itself is worth while going to
soe. The scalping knife and toma
hawk have been buried in the rough
sands of the sea a cable-low's length
from shore. Of course there may
be a few ' rough necks," but the
North and South are nearer together
as a whole than they have been since
the days of John I!. Calhoun.
Yee, we had a bot time with the
"boys in blue" for a while, but
time is a great healer. Let us all go
and meet them again, this time
bearing the olive branch, and when
you get back you will tell the old
*'lady and the gals" that you had
the biggest time of your life. Come,
mix np with us, and iet us all, "blue
and gray," be hale fellows well
met.
"Each fought for his own precious
cause.
Each to his standard true.
Let them be praised, those gallant
men.
What if in gray or in the blue?
Une cause was lost the other won. '
United now we stand to-day,
A common brotherhood of men.
The grand old blue the noble gray."
J. Russell Wright.

HARDY'S HAPPENINGS.
Dear Advertiser:
We had a nice sprinkle on Fri
day morning, which helped a good
deal, and Saturday had a real nice
rain, and softened the hard ground
some, but need more right now, for
the wind dried almost all the mois
ture out already.
Cotton is so small, every where,
for tho season of the year. Corn,
where it is up, is small and yellow,
wheat and oats heads very short,
also short stems. Rye is pretty.
Very few pretty gardens, as I have
seen. Messrs. George McKie and
Harry Bunch have the prettiest any
where I have seen.
Mr. Jabez Hammond had some
perfectly beautiful Irish potatoes on
Saturday taking them into town.
Says his yield is ten to one. Any
way vegetables continue high.
Peaches are coming in green and
hard, as they are and high as well,
seems to be selling right along.
But not as fast in proportion as
automobiles, for I heard yesterday
of 10 or 15 that have been sold
right around here. Almost every
family has one now.
Next thing wa need is good roads
and I hope each one will do his du
ty towards making them good. The
road from the Martintown out to
Sweetwater and up toward Curry
ton in places is washed almost be
yond travel. The county gang do
not work out toward Sweetwater at
all, and neither do the neighbor
hood, so that is almost impassable.
We attended Sunday school on
last Sunday and had quito a nice
attendance. A Mr. Henderson
from North Augusta will come up
next Sunday to help with the sing
ing, preparatory for the memorial
day, second Sunday.
We were glad to hear Mr. Toll
Glover is able to be up. Hope he
may soon regain his health.
Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Harrison
were out riding Sunday. We were
glad to see her out again.
Mr. Willie McKie was home on
a furlough Saturday and went back
to Atlanta Sunday night, does not
know where he will be sent yet.
Mr. Pick Adams went to Charles
ton for the examination last week,
and is now awaiting orders from
Washington.
Mr. Charlie Hammond, Mr. and
Mrs. Hamp Parks, and Mrs. Carrie
Burkhalter Freeland, visited their
aunt, Miss Genie Hammond on last
Friday.

Young Men of Edgefield County.
Now is the time to enlist m the
National Guard of your State.
The Darlington Guards, which I
now command, is one of the best
infantry companies in the State.
Its record while in the Federal ser
vice on the Border was most excel
lent.
When the Second S. C. Infantry
was asked to send a company as
headquarters company for the Tenth
Division, which consisted of troons
from North Carolina, South Caro
I?D1, Georgia, Tennessee and Ken
tucky, Conj pan j E (the Darlington
Guards) was selected. When it was
relieved from this duty in order to
return home to South Carolina it
I was highly complimented by Gen.
JOHNSON LETTER.
(Continued from First Page.)
Last Saturday was "Flag Day"
h3re, this being undertaken by the
D. A. R. detachment. Fifteen dol
lars was realized from the sales, and
cloth was purchased to make the
pillow case?, this detachment having
decided upon making the cases as
their line of work. One day of
this week the members will meet
and cut out the cases, and each carry
home a certain number to make.
The National League met on
Wednesday afternoon in the Sunday
school room of the Baptist church
to further discuss plans and work,
no special line having been decided
on. There were several ladies pres
ent from Treuton, and it was a
great pleasure to haye these present
and to discuss the work with them.
Mrs. B. L. Boatwright beautifully
entertained last week at "The Ce
dars," her pretty country home, in
honor of Miss Bernice Saramon,
who has been teaching this commu
nity school. Progressive rook was
a pleasant past time, Miss Annie H.
Harrison winning the prize, a rib
bon needle, and Miss Sam mon was
presented with a friendship book.
After an elaborate salad course aud
ice tea bad been enjoyed kodac pic
tures of the merry group were
taken.
The historical Mary Ann Buie
chapter, TJ. D. C., was held with
Miss Zena Payne on Friday after
noon, and one of the chief pleasures
of the meeting was the presence of
the new member, Mrs. Ida Smyly
Stevens of Meeting Street; also,
Mrs. Will Logue. There were thirty
seven present. Mrs* O. D. Black,
historian, conducted the meeting,
the following program being carried
out, the papers read being original
ones:
Chorus, "America."
Lord's prayer in concert.
Accounts of the battles named in
the year book were given by Mes
dames M. T. Turner, M. W. Clark.
Archie Lewis and J. H. White.
Vocal duet, "Carry Me Back to
Old Virginia," Miss Clara Sawyer,
Mrs. H. W. Crouch.
"How We Made Sugar in 1864,"
Mrs. F. S. Jefferson.
"Personal Reminiscences of 1861
1865," Mrs. F. M. Warren.

of the emblem.
The hostess gave as favors cards
bearing the emblem and motto; also
the dates of the business ai.11 histor
ical meetings, asking all to keep
these in a conspicuous place so as to
be reminded of the meetings.
The members lingered some time
after the meeting to chat and wel
come the new members. All en
joyed frozen fruit pudding with
cake.
Mr. and Mrs. Burrell Boatwright,
Mrs. F. M. Boyd and Messrs. J. M.
Turner, O. S. Wertz. W. T. Walton,
J. I). Eidson, J. G. Mobley, and
perhaps others, will attend the Re
Union in Washington.
In spite of the heavy rains of
Saturday the semi-annual meeting
of W. M. LT. of the Ridge associa
tion was well attended. Several of
the Johnston ladies braved the ele
ments to attend, and upon arriving
found others equally as brave, there
being representatives from Saluda,
Batesburg, Ridge, and even Chest
nut Hill church of Chappell, Mt.
Pleasant and other churches.
Many good subjects were dis
cussed, and papers prepared on sub
jects pertinent to the times were
read.
The discussions were all actively
entered into, and as the audience
was not so large this seemed to do
away with all restraint.
The hospitality of the good wo
men of Philippi was unbounded.
Not only did they have cherry
pie, lemon pie, chicken pie and fried
chicken, but great baskets of lus
cious peaches.
C. G. Morton, commanding Tenth
Division.
During the past year it has
furnished nine commissioned officers
to the National Guard, two of
whom have since been admitted to
the Marine corps. Of the above
officers four were captains.
I do not believe that any young
man will make a mistake in select
ing this company.
If a sufficient number volunteer a
platoon can be organized with head
quarters at Edgefleld.
Drop rne a card at Trenton.
I will be in Edgefkld on Saur
day, June 2.

Second S, C. Infantry.

AND KIDNEYS
Nothing more discouraging than
a constant backache. Lame when
you awaken, pains pierce you when
you bend or lift. It's hard to work
or to rest. Backache often indi
cates bad kidneys. Edgefield peo
ple recommend Doan's Kidney Pills.
Read the case.
Mrs. E. P. Jackson, Cedar Row,
Edgefield, says: "I suffered greatly
from a weak and lame back, which
became so bad that I could hardly
get around. My sides and hips
also got sore and lame and loss of
sleep made me weak and exhausted.
Doan's Kidney Pills rid me of the
attack." (Statement given April
12, 1911.) .
Over three years later, Mrs. Jack
son said: "My back or kidneys sel
dom trouble me now, but when they
do, Doan's Kidney Pills always
give me quick relief."
Price 50c. at all dealers- Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy
the same that Mrs. Jackson has
twice publicly recommended. Fos
