Smith's Address Before t!ie Buck Kitrtiin Camp of Confeder ate Veterans of ScoHaaa Keck Jan uary 20, !908. Veterans of the Confederacy, Ladies and Gentlemen: We have met here to-day to cele brate the one hundred and first birthday of General Lee. Very wisely and very properly the Legis lature of this and o'.her southern states have set apart the 19th day of January as a public holiday for people to gather together and call back to memory the days of the past, when the sword of Lee flashed "from its scabbard pure and bright and led us to victory." So long as there is a man, woman or child in whose veins throbs one drop of Southern blood, let this day be celebrated as a tribute to his memory. To him we owe a debt of gratitude and love that we can never repay, for he it was who in the time of our direst need came into our midst and did for us more than any other mortal man could have done. For the sake of the South he gave up power, wealth, and the fulfilment of his highest am bition, that he might be on our side and that our cause might be his. To him, to ourselves, to posterity, and to the South, it is a lasting duty to keep green the memory of his ser vice to the Confederacy, and to hold up for the emulation of all who would become great and good his beautiful and unsullied character. For the accomplishment of this pur pose, there is no better way than to celebrate each year his birthday. If we had the time at our disposal it would be a pleasure to follow him from his first birthday at Stratford, hi Westmoreland county, Virgina, until nearly sixty-four years later he was laid to rest in the quiet little college chapel at Lexington, where he had spent the closing years of his life, instructing young men in those principles tiiat had guided and help ed him to greatness. To you, Veter ans, I am sure it would be most de lightful could we trace his footsteps from battle field to battle field, as you followed him over forty years ago, from the day that he assumed command of the army in May 1SG2, until the surrender at Appomattox. But it is apart from our purpose to go into the details of his military career. We shall 'refer to it only as it serves to throw light upon his character. It is sweet to reflect that in each of us is a something that never dies, and that lives on and on, even in this world, after our bodies have been returned to the dust out of which they were fashioned. Char acter endures forever. In the real and truest sense Robert E. Lee still lives and moves among his people. He still commands them and leads them. In unmistakable accents he points out to them the path of duty and bids them consecrate their lives to ths South. In all that is beauti ful, in all that is trne, in all that is great he leads them triumphantly to glorious victory. The character of Genera! Lee is of a beauty, a symmetry, and a great ness which appears in that of no other public man who has come within my observation. Some, in deed, in one or more particulars may have approached and even equalled him, but in none other were the elements so mixed that his most ar dent admirers and followers could claim for him that, take him all in all, he was the equal of Robert E. Lee. It is essentia! to true greatness of character that there should be a strong religious sentiment. The very basis of the character of eral Lee was his trust in God helD ha could accomplish nothing. I And like the prayers of Jackson his j prayers were often heard to the sorrow of the euemy. One of his friends relates that as he watched by the side cf General Lee's body the day after his death, he picked up from a table near by a small pocket Bible that was well worn. Upon the flyleaf in the General's handwriting was this inscription, "R. E. Lee, Lieutenant Colonel of the U. S. Army." No doubt this little book had been with him in all his most arduous campaigns, and had been his daily comfort in the darkest hours of his life. One of his last acts before he took his place upon the couch from which he was never to arise again was to con- When you want the best, get De Witt's Carbolized Witch Hazel Salve.

Nor did he forget the great duty of love to his fellow creatures. To hi3 mother he was most devoted. She at one time said to one of her friends: "How can I spare Robert! He is both a son and a daughter to me." When quite a boy he was separated from his father who had to go to the West Indies on account of his health. So upon his mother he bestowed a love that might have been given to both parents. He , diers from any section. And yet, j v:7irapjelu-Vhe'iv .onl oYyuur sac was ever at her side, and seemed to i how could any man love his country ! yiflrv vour va'ov vcur patriotism take especial delight in preparing for her those comforts that bovs seldom think of. To her, to his wife, to his family, he was all that j the loftiest patriotism. Though op son, or husband, or father could be. ! posed to secession, when President In his letters home we see a tender- ness and a love that the stirring events of camp life could not smoth er. Separation from them was en- forced by the stern requirements of the soldier's life, but his tender heart never ceased to yearn for them. The only thing that could keep him away was his devotion to duty; for to him duty was the "sub limest word in the English language." General Lee was great in his love. He did not circumscribe it by the family circle, nor limit it to a few. He loved the South and every one in it. Most of all he loved little children and his soldiers. "One day during the war a number of little girls were rolling hoops on the side walks in Richmond when General Lee came riding towards them. They stopped playing to gaze at so great a man. To their surprise he threw his rein to his courier, dis mounted and kissed every one of them. Then mounting, ho rode away with a sunny smile of child hood in his heart and plans of great battles in his mind." In many ways did his love for his soldiers appear. It was his custom to be with them and encourage them on the field of battle, to visit them in the hospitals and as near as possible to fare in .. every way as tney aia. in iao, an English officer wrote this report of Lee's headquarters, "Lee's head, quarters, I found, were only seven or eight pole tents with their backs to a stake fence, while a little stream of good water flowed close by. In front of the tents were three wagons, and a number of horses roamed over the fields. No guards were seen near, and no crowds of aids swarm ed about. A large farm house stood close by which would have made a good home for the General, but Lee does not let his men rob or disturb the people and likes to set them a good example." During the latter part of the war oh one occasion when General Lee had been invited to an elegant dinner, he refused the fine dishes set before him, saying to his hostess, "I cannot consent to be feasting while my poor men are nearly starving." Such love for his soldiers could not go unreturned. Never was a general more univer sally beloved than he was. It was on the second day of the Battle of the Wilderness that General Lee placing himself at the head of some Texans ordered them to charge, but they shouted, "Lee to the rear!" and a gray-haired soldier rushing out from their midst, seized his horse by a- : " , from their midst, seized his horse by j the bridle saying, "General, if yon j do not go back, we will not go xor- j ward." He reined his horse back- ward and joined General Longstreet who was upon a knoll near by. The Texans swept onward to victory and death.

For Vir- ginia, especially, and for tho whole South, the soul of Lee was filled with i Lincoln tendered him the command- in-chief of the active army of the United States, he refused it, and re signed his commission in the United ! States army, saying that he could not take part in an invasion of the ! southern states. This was before j Virginia had seceded, and at a j time when he had no idea he would be called upon to draw his sword upon the side of the Confederacy. In a letter to his brother. Svdnev Smith Lee, he writes, "I am now a private citizen and have no other ambition than to remain at home. Save in the defense of my native state, I have no desire ever again to draw my sword." "Greater love hath no man than this, that a manljKx.r!" lav oown his hie for his friends. When his native state called him, Lee at once responded and before the altar of her liberty tendered his life to her service. He was never called upon to die upon the battle field in her defense. et how glad ly he would have done so if such a sacrifice could have brought victory and peace to his people.
