To the q. Soldiers and Sailors Of The Con-
Gderdte States Of america
The convention of delegates from the
different states which assembled in New
Orleans, June 10 1889, effected general
organization known as the Omitted Con-
federate Veterans" 1t Is designed az an
association of all the bodies ofex-Tonfed-
crate Veterans and Sailors throughout
the Union. The convention adopted a
constitution and did me the great honor
to elect me General, which position l ac-
copt with peculiar qualification. Prelim-
mary to the issue OF any orders | wish to
call general attention to the
OBJECTS OF THIS ASSOCIATION
and to enlist in their accomplishment the
active cooperation not only of every sur
viyor OF Southern armies, but also that
large contingent Of sons OF veterans, who,
too voung to have received the baptism
of fire. have nevertheless received with
you the baptism Of suffering and OF sac
rifce.
The first article of the constitution of
the association declares: "The object
and purpose Of this organization will be
strictly social, literary, historical, and be-
nevolent. 1t will endeavOr to unite in a
general federation all associations of the
| Confederate veterans, soldiers and sailors
now in existence or hereafter to he form
ed TO gather authentic data for an i'm
partial history of the war between the
states to preserve the relics or memei-
toes of the same; to cherish the ties OF
| friendship that should exist among the
/ the men who have shared common
dangers, common suffering and priya,,
tons to care for the disabled and
extend a helping hand to the needy; to
protect the widow and orphan and to
make and preserve the record of the SER
wees of every member, and as far as o =
sble, of those of our comrades who have
preceded us in eternity"
The last article provides that neither
discussion OF political or religious subjects
nor any political action shall be permitted
in the organization and any association
violating that provision shall forfeit its
membership.

NON POLITICAL.

Tn conclusion beg to repeat, in sab
stance at least, few thoughts recently
expressed by me to the state organization
which apply with equal force TO this gen
eral brotherhood.
1t is political in no sense except so iaI
as the word "polltical' is a synonym OF
the word patriotic" 1t IS brotherhood
over which the genius Of philanthropy
and patriotism, of truth an OF justice
will preside Of philanthropy, because 1t
will succOr the disabled, help the need,
strengthen the weak and cheer the dis
consulate of patriotism, because it will
cherish the past glories of the dead Con
federacy and transmute them into living
inspirations for future service to the lily
ing republic; of truth, because 1t viii
seek to gather aud preserve as witnesses
for history the uninpeachable facts who h
shall doom falsehood to die that trdth
NAV 1--we of Justice, because it Will cu.-
tlvate national as well as Southern traterr-
itv and will condemn narrow mindedness
aud preiudice and passion, aud cultivate
that broader, higher. nObler sentiment,
which would write on the grave OF every
soldier who tell on either side Here,
| lies an American hero, a martyr TO The
right as his conscience conceived It,"
GENERAL ORGANIZATION.
| rejoice that general organization too
long neglected has been at last perfected
1t is brotherhood which all honorable
men must approve and which heaven it.
self will bless. l call upon you therefore
to organize in every state and community
where ex-COnfederates may reside and
rally to the support of the high and
peaceful objects of the Omitted Confeder-
ate Veterans" and move forward until by
the power of organization and persistent
effort your beneficient and christian pur'
poses are fully accomplished.

The great fortunes of England

The great fortunes of England
have been made by impoverishing
labor with debased money. We find
England to-day using $1O5, 100000 of
demonetized silver to pay her labor
ing people. This money to the
amount of $5 of our currency is a
legal tender and this catches the poor
laboring man every time. Now our
Wall street friends tell us that our
silver dollar which contains 37l}
grains is worth only so cents in Eng
land. Then how much is the English
silver coin which contains less than
$50 grains worth? Remember the
laborer takes this coin as equal to
90 % grains of gold, but not so with
the landlord, whose rents must come
in gold standard. This is the game
Wall street has been playing on this
country by the decentralization OF
silver and this, in connection with
high tariff, is what has impoverished
the agricultural interest, and this is
why the people are crying out for
free silver.

Mr.. Cleveland, the Force Bill and the
South.

South.
Senator Pugh has again been inter
viewed, this time by the New York
World, in which there Is some very
plain and interesting talk. He ac-
cuses Cleveland of opposing free
coinage, and of ignoring the force
bill as an issue, and of applying of
fensive epithets to the South, tC
which the Appeal-Avalanche adds:
cit was only the other day that SC
good a Democrat and so earnest a
friend of the Southern people as Sen
ator Voorhees,, of Indiana, made the
point about Mr.. Cleveland that he
was never heard from in dcnunCia
ton of the force bill while the Demo
Gratis in Congress were making their
brave struggle against the Republi
can powers of darkness that sought
thus to manacle the South. And
now comes Senator Pugh with some
more plain talk. 1t all makes very
interesting newspaper reading, but il
is not politics. AS to Mr.. German,
il may be well to inquire as to his
exact views relative to the revision
of the tariff before discussing his
availability as presidential candi-
date. That the South owes him a
debt of gratitude it can never fully
repay goes without saying"

Spring.

To the Tobacco Leaf-Chrontcle.l
Refreshing rains have fallen recent
~, which have done much toward re-
viving the spirits of the farmers who
had almost despaired of getting a
crop of tobacco planted this year.
There has been a good deal of tobac-
co planted, but the sun has been so
hot that it has succeeded in killing
large amount of it. There is small
portion of last years crop which has
not been stripped. This of course,
will delay the buyers in getting
through with their factory work.
Corn is looking very well, considering
the Drought. The wheat crop is very
good, though there will not be as
large yield as was at first thought.

A Blacksmith Saves The Life of A
Little Girl.


Minnie Carney was perhaps as near
leaving this world as anyone can be,
to recover. She was sick with chol-
era morbus: completely exhausted
and unconscious. The physicians in
copsu ltation pronounced her case
hopeless and beyond the power OF
cure. Chas. J. Newcomb, a black
smith walked four miles through the
darkness, rain and storm to get rem
edy he had himself used, and which
he firmly believed would cure her.
That medicine was Chamberlain
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.
He obtained part of bottle, with
which he hastily returned, and gave
the little sufferer half teaspoonful,
which relieved her and consciousness
gradually returned. The medacine
was given in broken doses, and in a
short time she was well. He is posi-
tive that it saved her life, and has
others in that vicinity. For sale by
