One of the proudest days of hi;

are penitent and honest; and il
they no longer claim to be the best
people on earth. For Gods sake
let's have peace if these people
really want it."
The Governor turned his atten-

believed there would be good order
With pathos in his words, Butler
said he was glad to see SO many o1
the fair daughters of Edgefelc

Butler made fervent appeal fol

could be accepted by every man o:
every faction.

Tillman: "But keeping in tht
