ing for what they believed to be right
'. and added, "What I still believe was
right"
The exercises coming just before our
press hour we can not give even an
analysis of the great speech. DIR. Jones
eulogized the leaders of the Confedera-
cy, and said they were worthy of any
cause in any land, and declared over
and over that the world has never seen
greater heroism and valor than was
evinced by the private Confederate
soldier. "The Private Confederate Sol
der, Who He Was, What He Was, and
What He Accomplished" was the
theme,
The life of the private solder was WV
idly pictured, with the very pulse-beat
of lite itself, from the easy days of 81
when they "played soldier" to the last
struggle and the scenes at Appomattox,
to which the brave boys in gray had
waded through fire and blood and
death, whereby they had achieved a
victory OF immortal glory.
DR.. Jones congratulated the school
on the Southern Night exercise and
babe the enterprlsing principals keep
the good work alive every year.
The lecture was masterful and the
old veterans present sat around the
camp fires together again, and the
young caught an inspiration which led
up to an admiration of the Southern
soldier which they had never felt be-
fore.
