gratitude inexpressible for our dead
Understanding their heroism,
their devotion to principle and 10y
atty to right-trusting to Time, the
universal and unfailing test Of the
truth in all things, let us join hands
with our former foes, and go forth
to meet the grave problems of the
future, looking only to the devel-
opment, the glory and upbuilding
of our common country.
And now, my friends, permit me
to thank you for this mark of es-
TEEN and cordial greeting which you
have accorded me. My only regret
is that I have been unable to per-
form my part of the program with
that ease and consumate skill with
which you have performed yours. l

that it has always been a mystery
to me how a plain, honest mind,
responsive to truth, could read the
history of the federal constitution
the speeches and writings of men
contemporary with it, and then
doubt the soundness OF the South
ern Interpretation of that document.
TO my mind it is as clear and IN
mistakable as The light that shines
from heaven today. I can compre-
bend how man would oppose Sc
cession on the ground of inexpedi-
ency-that the country had grown
too big for it, or upon some similar
objection, but for any man, intelh-
gent of all the facts, to seriously
deny the legality, the constitution
atty of it, is indeed to my mind in
applicable.
And after awhile, when some
honest and impartial Buckle or
Macauley shall come to write the
history of this country, am Just
as confident that the Southern cause
viii be indicated as I am that truth
is eternal and that falsehood is
ephemeral. Teach your children,
my fellow countrymen, that their
fathers were right-that they were
but exercising a right purchased
and vouchsafed to them by some of
the purest and best blood that was
shed in defense Of a principle or that
ever christened and made sacred this
old earth.
It might have been inexpedient-
probably if the curtain of futurity
had been brushed aside and they
could have seen things as they are
today, the war might have been
averted, but as to that have my
doubts. At any rate that phase Of
the question is not in issue, and I
shall not consume your time in the
discussion of it,
Now, in conclusion, this great
question has been settled-perma-
nently settled-in the imperial court

THE DECORATION cEREM0NIEs.

The severe and continued rains
Friday evening necessitated a post
ponement to Saturday morning Of
the services arranged for the annual
tribute to the Confederate dead and
their living comrades.
At $3.50 the Isham Harrison camp
of Confederate veterans began the
march to the cemetery, with the
distinguished escort Of about two
hundred and fifty young lady stu
dents from the I. 1. G. C. The
Queen City Guards, under COM
mand of Lieutenant Foote, follow
ed, and the Columbus light artillery
with hundreds of citizens followed
the veterans and their beautiful
escort. On reaching the cemetery
the veterans gathered around the
base of the statue and the troops
and young ladies' formed a hollow
square around.
After the prescribed service by
the veterans, the troops and young
ladies broke ranks and assembled
to hear the distinguished orator,
Hon. Jas. X. Vardaman. We have
the pleasure of presenting our read
ers with the address in full. The
expressions of satisfaction and
pleasure with Mr.. Vardaman's eff
fort were general and sincere. His
remarks were timely, and his de-
livery happy. The gallant gentle
man from the delta has added many
to his already long list of admirers
and friends in Lowndes. The oc-
casion was a success in every re-
spect, and the GROWING idea of our
people was to honor the memory OF
the Confederate soldier, and all that
loyal and loving hearts could do
was done. We hope that the inspir-
ing example Of thus honoring the
memory Of Southern men whose
lives were sacrificed in defense Of
home and principles they believed
to be right, win be observed by our
children's children to the latest gem
Grafton.

ever, which I feel myself wholly in

perform, especially when I consider
the fact that am talking to men
who we're active participants-who
