had fallen upon those quiet, sound hearted

ner Of the great fight ut Charlottesville
they stood up in the lone woods and fought
like heroes Both the regimcntal color
bearers were quickly shot down, and the
leader Of the color company, Capt. Swart.
was instantly killed while lifting one of
the fallen flags. One flag was subsequent
carried by the colonel. II. J. Madill, and
the other by the major. Lieut.. Col. Wat
kins redeemed his pledge most nobly.
Early in the fight his horse had been killed
under him by n shell aud he himself Sc
verely stunned. Two days before this af
fair the same thing had occurred, and al
though his companions urged him on both
occasions to go to the rear he was to the
very front and received mimic ball
through the breast while urging his men

Gen. Graham wisely withdrew his men
before their slaughter was complete, and
retired slowly. On reaching the wooded
ridge some distance from the log fence and
where the brigade had begun the fighting,
he~ordered the colonies of regiments to re
form their disordered ranks. Col. Madiil,
whose smiling face and encouraging words
had animated the regiment throughout
that bloody Sunday morning, Cxed the
flagstaff of the One Hundred and Forty
first, which he was still carrying, firmly in
the ground and in a loud voice struck up
the familiar camp song:

The men responded heartily, joining in the
singing until the woods that shortly before
resOunded with their cheers were ecLoing
back the notes of music than which no
bier was never heard Oh the battlefield
and with unshaken coolness and resolu-
ton, despite the terrible experiences of the

2. LAND.

The land, including allnatural resour-
ces of wealth, is the heritage of all peo-
pie and should not be monopolized for
speculative purposes and the alien
ownership of land should be prohibi-
ted. That all land now held by rail
roads and other corporations in ex-
cess of their actual needs, and all land
now owned by aliens should be re-
claimed by the government and held
for actual settlers only.

While some parts of the above ad-
dress may seem, at glance, to make
partizan political distinctions, yet upon
careful study one will clearly see that
it is non partisan, and further, will be
impressed by the truth of its premises
and the ability OF the committee who
framed it. 1t was adopted with only
few dissenting votes and the platform
was adopted unanimously and received
with great applause. The Conference
having completed its work as a repre-
sentative body, then adjourned sine die.

Z. TRANSPORTATION.

A. Transportation being the means
of expense and public necessity, the
government should own and operate
the roads in the interest of the people.
B. The telegraph and telephone
like the postal system being neces-
sity for the transmission ofnews, should
be owned and operated by the Gov
ernment in the interest of the people.
