(Special) Memorial services were held yester day end a large assemblage of peo ple gathered to decorate the graves of loved ones and to listen to the pa triotic program, Senator E. E. Kiddle was the chief speaker of the day and he spoke to a large crowd who showed deep inter est in his well chosen remarks. Senator Kiddle Is Heard. His speech follows: We hive gathe:ed here loday to pay our respects to, and show our veneration for those brave defenders of the Stars and Stripes, who fought , so gloriously ami nobly for their con victions, and many of whom, although escaping the cruel bullet or sword of their foes, nevertheless found their allotment of three score and ten years cut short by sickness and dis ease brought on by exposure neces sary to the life of the soldior. , Decoration Day! What does it mean? We look into our dictionary and encyclopedias and they say it is a day set apart as a national holiday for decortiiig with flowers the graves of the Union Soldiers and Sailors who served in the Civil War. Originally this definition would have satisfied us, but times, customs, and people change. What served a;, a good definition for the day forty years ago as a comparison of the carriage of that day with the automo bile of today. The significance of the day hasj reacnea a mucn larger scope, uec oration Day is now looked upon as not only a day to honor and reverence the soldiers and sailors by ornament ing and decorating their graces, but also to do honor to those others of our relatives and friends who have solved the mysteries of life and crossed to that other shore "from who's bourne no traveler ever returns." As we pass from grave to grave and leave a small token of life and im mortality on their last resting place, we bow our heads in silent thought as our memory reverts back to days gone by when those who now are si- SEN.

While Decoration Day originated as a day set apart to honor the wear ers of the Blue, we, as a Nation, ar5 proud today to be able to say that there is no longer a distinction be tween the Blue and the Grey; no more do we recognise the Mason and Dixon line; we have no united North or solid South. The Spanish-American war forged the last links in the chain that i.nited us into one solid nation. In the Spanish-American War, the lilue and the Grey fought side by side for the cause of justice and humanity, and the "Yankee cheer" mingled with the "rebel yell" in one great and glor ious out-burst for a united nation; among whom, we trust, no contention will ever again arise except that noble contention, or rather emulation, as to who can best work and best agree. It has been my pleasure to have visited the southern states several times the past few years and I have found end noticed that the National anthem on the sight of "Old Glory" was Krceted with as much enthusiasm and cheering both by the old and the young in what was formally known iis the "Solid South" asjn any section of our country. While decorating the last restimr place of our departed defenders of the Stars and Stripes and exulting in the though that we no longer have any serious differences amongst ourselves, f.ur thoughts revert with horror anil dismay to the horrible carnage and destruction of human life and prop erty now taking place in foreign lands. And even our own country is not entirely free frcm the horrors of war and destruction of human life, for while we have not openly made a declaration of war to our neighbors on the south, our soldiers are at the present time gathered hore in force and we are in fact if no in theory invading an enemy's country. And while we are all congratulat ing ourselves that we have not been drawn into the great maelstrom in the far east, we recoil with horror at v v . & -."Cm' ' j HONEYMOON FOLLOWS NUT SUNDAE ROMANCE MHS.

While we are here today honoring the dead, we should not forget the liv ing and should remember, while dec orating the giaves of the departed with a profusion of flowers, that one little rose bud of kind words, deads, or actions dropped to the living todav will grow into beautiful wreaths and grand bouquets in the future. In closing, I wish to quote the words of the poet: TELL HIM SO. ' If a friend hath ever pleas'ed you Made your pathway a brighter glow; Though a little thing to do. Then and there just tell him, so. Tis so strange that we can never Tell the value of a man, Till he's laid away forever From life's cares and working plan. Tell him now you see his struggle: Of his purpose, true ar.d grand; And while telling of his "battle," , Give to him a helping hand. i - I Don't keep words of commendation ! Till your brother's laid away They may give new lesolution Tell him while he lives today. i Summerville Patriotic. I Summerville, May 81.
