was a Democrat who was never
afraid to show his colors, has been
taken as a pretext by some sneak,
who is lacking the manhood to sign
his name or show his face, to make
cowardly and assassin-like thrusts
at this paper, through the columns
of this week g issue of the Union Re-
Republican.
The wonderful production of this
masked scribbler is rolled as sweet
morsel under the tongue Of the
original and only DL. that presides
over the editorial columns of the Re
publican, and he proceeds to turn
loose his pent up feelings, and after
referring to the decent burial given
Sim by Democrats and the fact that
his remains were followed to their
last resting place by Democrats, he
says: 1.-The whole affair.", though a
disgusting farce, looks mighty like
placing a premium upon crime"
People with human instincts have
feeling of tenderness in the presence
of the dead, but that this attribute
of humanity is lacking in the afore-
said editor is not surprising to those
who recall his recent fragrant display
of want of respect for both the living
and the dead in his hyenalike eager
ness to profit by the departure of one
who had been his friend.

ent who lodges behind the signature

Looks like placing a premium upor
crime, does it? Such a reflection
comes with poor grace from a Leader
of the party which picked up a maj

NASHVILLE REUNION.

1t is said that the reunion of the
United Confederate Veterans, to be
held at Nashville, Tenn, June %, %
and "a, will be the largest and most
important reunion ever held. The
Richmond meeting was very largely
attended, but it is thought that the
attendance at Nashville will exceed
that, on account of the more central
location.
1t is probable that quite number
of veterans from this section will
attend. 1t should be a pleasure to
our people to aid, in an unostenta-
tious way, any who are without the
means and yet have the desire to
gather once more with their COM
rades and recall the thrilling scenes
which gave to the soldier of the
South a reputation unsurpassed in
the worlds history for courage,
fortitude and sacrifice.
From a letter just issued by
Adjutant General Norman, of Gen
eral Gordon's staff, we gather that
the following matters of Importance
will engage the attention of this, the
seventh, annual convention:
''The best methods of securing i'm
partial history, and to enlist each
State in the compilation and pre-
servation of the history of her citizen
soldiery; the benevolent care through
State aid or otherwise of disabled,
destitute, or aged veterans and the
widows and orphans of our fallen
brothers in arms; to consult as to
the feasibility of the formation of a
United Confederate Veteran benevo-
lent aid association; the care of the
graves of our known and unknown
dead buried at Gettysburg, Fort
Warren, Camps Morton, Chase,
Douglas, lakewood Cemetery at
Chicago, Johnson's Island, Cairo,
and at all other points, to see that
they are annually decorated, the
headstones preserved and protected,
and complete lists of the names OF
our dead heroes, with the location OF
their last resting place, furnished to
their friends and relatives through
the medium of our camps, thus
rescuing their names from oblivion
and handing them down in history;
the consideration of the different
movements, plans, and means to
erect a monument to the memory of
Jefferson Davis, President of the
Confederate States of America; also,
to aid in building monuments to
other great leaders, soldiers, and
sailors of the South; also, to assist
in the promotion and completion of
the proposed "Battle Abbey; to
vote upon the proposed change
the name of the association from
United Confederate Veterans to Con-
federate Survivors Association, and
to change the present badge or but
ton, which is not patentable, for the
new one proposed, which is; and to
make such changes in the constitu-
ton and bylaws as experience may
suggest, and other matters of general
interest"

ALL ABOARD

There is a difference between want
ing a thing sufficiently to hustle for
it and wanting it just enough to be
willing to take it if somebody will
bring it. The difference doesn't stop,
either, with the matter of desire, but
it usually extends to results, the
fellow or the community that goes
for a thing with get there earnest
ness and vigor being the one, gener-
ally, that plants both feet on the
spot marked by worthy aspiration
and grasps with both hands the
prize at the end of the race.
We have heard for quite while
that Winston-Salem wants direct
railroad communication with the
South and the time has arrived for
her people to demonstrate to what
degree they want this improvement.
With a lively interest in the matter
upon the part of our citizens there is
a prospect that work will begin upon
the South-Bound road within few
weeks and that it will be completed
in about two years. Without this
interest, we can hardly hope for the
needed cooperation of the Governor
and some responsible railroad line.
A very liberal charter was secured
at the last session of the Legislature
for this road and the minimum sub
scription on which the company may
be organized was placed at fifteen
thousands dollars.
At the meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce, Monday night, it was the
consensus of opinion that no definite
steps could be taken until this fifteen
thousand dollars of stock was sub
scribed as a basis for organization,
and a committee of fifteen, whose
names appear in our news columns,
was appointed to open books of
subscription and make a canvas for
the required fifteen thousand dollars
and report at a meeting of the
Chamber to be held on Monday
night, May 10th, being two weeks
from last night.
When the fifteen thousand dollars
in stock is subscribed, it is thought
that one of the great railroad lines,
the Southern, the Norfolk & Western,
the Seal GARD Air Line, and, possibly,
the Atlantic Coast Line and the
Baltimore & Ohio, will be ready to
take hold of the enterprise and enter
into the contract provided in the
supplementary act for granting the
use of convicts to grade the road.
This very liberal supplementary act,
which was secured through the
efforts of Lieut.-Gov. Reynolds, was
published in full in Saturdays SENTI-
MEL and synopsis of it appears
today in connection with the
minutes of last nights meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce.
IT our people really desire this
road, the most favorable opportuni-
ty they will ever have for securing it
is now within reach, and if it is not
utilized such extraordinary induce
ments cannot be expected at any
time In the future.
The tide is here and If we take it at
the food we may expect it to lead to
success. Ii we let it pass, we had as
well stop talking about wanting this
through connection with the South.
The fifteen thousand dollars should
be readily subscribed and the next
step speedily taken.

James Michael is the Champion
long distance bicyclist of the world.
He recommends all wheelmen to
take Paine's celery compound.
His experience is that of thousands
of others. With the opening of the
bicycle season mary young person
and hundreds of older people who
have determined to take up bicycling
asa acknowledgements fndthem-
selves really lacking the proper
"snap" or stamina to begin on. Their
bodily condition prevents so spirited
exercise. They would like to ride,
but they are out of sorts, run down
by a winter of work or indoor life.
Many who are really sick, who have
suffered from debility or wasting dis
eases for ID long time until they had
begun to think their troubles had be,
come chronic, as nothing gave relief,
would turn to bicycling for relief.
But this splendid exercise, like any
| other, requires strength to undertake.
The blood is out of order, the nerves
are deranged, and natures food for
both is needed.
All such persons will find to then
immense JOY that Paine's celery com
pound, taken now, will make then
| we'll.
