VETERANS GREET COL. BRYAN
NEBRAsKAN, WITH HIS SOLDIERS,
PASSES THROUGH ATLANTA.
WERE EXTENDED GREAT OVATION.
SO Great Was the Crush That o Police
Escort Was Found Nece.sary
to Clear the Way.

William Jennings Bryan, colonel Of
the Third Nebraska Volunteer regi-
ment, and the last democratic nomi-
nee for president Of the United States,
was in Atlanta, Ga, for two hours
Thursday afternoon. The colonel was
on his way to Jacksonville, Fla, to
join General Lees troops. With him
were his officers and 1900 private
soldiers. He took dinner with his
staff at the Kimball, and so great was
the crowd that surrounded him, eager
TO grasp his hand, IT was only. with the
aid OF police escort that he was ena-
bled to reach the dining room.
Reaching the city st time when the
Confederate Veterans reunion was on
and. the city crowded with the old
heroes the Nebraskan was literally
overwhelmed and it was with difficulty
that he and his regimental staff man
aged to get to the hotel Office desk to
register. Once there, IL was impossi-
BILE TO move unaided, the crowd around
him being so densely packed.
When the officers were all registered
police officers were called in TO make q
way for the military men to get to the
dining room. Bryan, followed by his
officers, forced his way up the steps
amidst cries OF "speech," Speech
The much-made-of man was told IL
was useless to try TO eat without re.
spending to the cries for speech, and
30 he went forward to the railing on
the parlor floor and in these words
addressed the crowd whom he had left
below and those around the ratings on
the floors above. Mr.. Bryan said:
tLadies and Gentlemen: ! cannot
tell you how glad am that our route
to camp has led us through your city.
I have been here before, but ! wanted
our boys, IL possible, to see this great
city of the south. And am glad that
they came at the time OF your Confed-
crate reunion, as I wanted our boys to
see as many Of the Confederate veter-
ans as possible.
'T have in my regiment many Of
the sons Of the men who wore the
blue, and they are rejoicing that they
will BE- permitted to fight side by side
with the sons Of those who wore the
gray and whose bravery stood such a
test over thirty years ago. loud
cheers. only regret that we are
unable to stay longer, that we might
become better acquainted with you
and you might become better acquaint-
ed with US.
ave are proud Of our boys" (Here
an old man interrupted, crying, eyes,
and we are proud Of you."o We do
not mean that they are better than
some other boys, but we do mean they
are going to do their duty, and they
can be relied upon at all times"
Colonel Bryan's soldier boys we're
given hearty welcome into the city
Of Atlanta. One Of them said "This
is the first time we were ever in the
south, and I hope to live to see more
OF IL. The hospitality displayed since
we crossed into the southern line has
been beyond anything I had ever
dreamed OF. We are not inapprecia-
tive, aud there is not one among us, I
venture, who has not been moved by
the cordial reception and the generos-
ity OF the southern people,"

A Santiago special to The New York
Journal, dated July 40, says General
Garcia has written letter to General
Shafter declaring that he is disguised
at his treatment at the hands OF the
Americans and will therefore withdraw
his forces TO the hills.
Among the things Of which General
Garcia complains is the failure of the
American commander to officially noti-
~ him of the surrender Of the Spanish
forces under General Toral.
Another grievance is the retention
of the Spanish civil authorities in the
administration OF their functions in
Santiago.

A long cherished desire on the part of
our people 10 erect an enduring and APP
propriate monument to the signers of the
Mecklenburg declaration has at last been
crowned with success, and the approach
ing Goth of May will witness the unveil-

festivities all into one day. Ex-Vice Pres,
jdent Adlai Stevenson Is to be the chief
orator of the occasion, and the Confeder-

reunion and jubilee. Charlotte will then
throw open her hospitabie gates and give

"The unwilling of monument to the IL
lustrious signers of the Mecklenburg
declaration will not be city affair, nor
yet county or state affair but an event
of national interest, for here on Mecklen-

Mecklenburg and her proud daughter
Charlotte, will celebrate with pomp and

WOMEN VOTED IN THE SOUTH.
IL They Owned Property and Were
Unmarried They Could Vote.
From the Boston Transcript.

From the Boston Transcript
Kentucky, which in 1915 made voters Of
widows and splnsters who were holders of
real estate, only followed the footsteps
of Maryland, which had done the same
thing thirty years before. I have not the
authorities at hand which would enable
me 10 give exact dates, but about the year
1920 unmarried women who were holders
of real estate to a given amount were en-
titled to vote, and did very generally exer-
else the right OF franchise.
In colonial days the states of the South
generally made the ownership of property
a requisite to the exercise Of the right of
franchise, while the New England colonies
generally made church membership a nee
essary qualification OF the voter. Follow
ing the idea that only property holders
should vote It was natural step to con-
clude that all property holders should vote.
Maryland, therefore, decided that where
the ownership Of property was vested in
a woman who had not husband TO rep
resent her she should be a voter

The hight is forty feet. This shaft is

being nine feet square.
NV information concerning the Meek
,.rburc declaration of independence has
been largely obtained from an address by
the Hon. William A. Graham at the cele-
hratton of the Mecklenburg centennial in
1915.
Mr. Graham was my uncle and himself
a descendant of revolutionary ancestors.
He was twice Governor of North Carolina,
q member of President Fillmore's cabinet,
q United States senator for a number of
years and a candidate for the Vice Pres
idency on the ticket with Gen. Scott He
was also a member of the Senate of the
Confederate states, and of the peace COM
mission called by President Lincoln near
the close of the civil war. He was son
of Gen. Joseph Graham, who although but
a youth at the time, fought bravely

through the revolutionary war and he bore
the marks Of desperate wounds TO his
grave. From his solder-father, who be-
came major general in the war of 1872,
Gov. Graham learned much of the history
OF our first struggle for independence.
When lad of Is Joseph Graham was
looker-on at the meeting of the committee
which declared independence against the
British crown on the 10Th of May, 1775 in
Charlotte Town, N. c. He left a valu-
able testimonial of his personal knowledge

enthusiasm of the people, who rent the air
with cheers and threw up their hats, sew

court house, which at that time was

Maj. John Davidson, one of the signers
OF this declaration, was my great-grand-
Iather and l often heard my own father,
the Rev. DR.. r. Fl. Morrison, relate the
story of the transaction as he heard 1t
rom the lips of this venerable patriot who
lived far into the nineteenth century and
died at the age of 81 with unimpaired fac

lasted four DAYS In order TO give ample
time for every one to get TO the voting

WORK OF TRAMPS.
Shot Three Trainmen on the 500
Railroad.

Three 500 line trainmen were
shot by tramp at Dafter, about
eight miles from Sault Ste. Marie,
tuesday afternoon. Two tramps
boarded the train at Rudyard and
were put off at Kinross. They again
got on just as the train pulled out
at Dafter, the next station. Arthur
Clarke and Thomas Metby, brake
men, again elected them from the
train after "a hard fight Frank
Fuller, the express messenger, went
to the assistance of the trainmen.
One OF the tramps pulled out pair
OF revolvers and started to blaze
away, shooting Fuller in the arm,
4 Metby in the shoulder and Clarke in,
the thigh, intlicting serious wounds.
The desperadoes then went to the
engine and at the point of gun
made the fireman uncouple the en-
! CINE, which they boarded, compelling
the engineer to take them to point
four miles from Dafter, when they
coolly got off, and with the revolvers
trained on the engineer and fireman
ordered them to go back. Officers
and men started out for the Grim
inals soon after the arrival of the
train at Sault Ste, Marie at $50
o clock. Two of the wounded men
are in precarious condition. but it
is thought all of them will recover.
They are residents of the 500.
