Acknowledges the Resolutions Adopted
by the Confederate Veterans.

WASHINGTON, July 23.-President
Mckinley has sent the following letter
to Gen. John B. Gordon, in response
to the resolutions adopted by the Con.
federate Veterans association in ses-
sion at Atlanta, Ca:
Executive Mansion.
Washington, July %, 1898.
To Hon. John B. Gordon, Commander
in-Chief United Confederate Veter-
ans, Atlanta, Ca.
Dear Gen. Gordon: Your recent tel
egram in behalf of the United Confed-
crate Veterans was very welcome and
[ would have written to you before in
acknowledgement excepting for the un-
usual demands upon my time.
The present war has certainly served
one very useful purpose in completely
obliterating the sectional lines drawn
in the last one. The response to the
nation call to arms has been equally
spontaneous and patriotic in all parts
of the country. Veterans of the gray
as we'll as of the blue are now fighting
side by side winning equal honor and
renown. Their brave deeds and the
unequalled triumphs of our army re-
ceive the gratitude of the people Of
the United States.
To have such hearty commenda-
tion from yourself and your colleagues
of the work of this administration in
the conduct of the war, and the pledge
of whatever support may be needed to
help in bringing it to successful com.
pletion is indeed most gratifying: and
I thank you especially for the frank
and cordial expression of the resolu-
tions passed and forwarded to me-.
With very kind regards, | am
Sincerely yours,
WILLIAM MCKINLEY.

dress and arms at port, mindful of
the fact that our fathers had made
record that must not be lowered and
that our chances to go to Porto Rico
rested on our succeeding in this
parade, we went by the reviewers in
style that no picked battalion of
cadets can surpass.
Having passed by and broken into
column of fours we were given "rout
step and Col. Alston, wheeling his
horse, rode down the line, his face
wreathed in smiles, and as he neared
Company G, he said: 'Boys, we're all
right. 1t was fine. Don't worry
yourselves going back but take it
easy"
The 18th Minnesota went ahead of
us going to review and passed the
stand ahead Of us, but as the sun grew
warmer they were side-tracked to rest,
while our regiment kept up its march
until camp was reached, passing our
northern friends with many sharp
remarks.
Itwas estimated that we had marched
about seven miles altogether, and only
FIVE men from the whole regiment had
to be brought back in the ambulances,
which was the smallest percentage Of
any regiment out.
Last night Col. Tillman announced
that we had beaten any regiment in
the Division and that we would go to
Porto Rico
Company c, your home company,
did its whole duty as it will when
something more disturbing than

Some of us may not get back to old
Anderson again, but whether it be
live or die, we will do our duty as our
fathers did before us, and when the
war is over we feel that you will have
no cause to be ashamed of us when we
get home. lTINERANT.

Railroad Talk.

The people have manfully stood by
the Black Diamond and put up the
money to complete the surveys, maps,
and pro6!es, and have so far secured 80
per cent of the rights-of- way for the
road through Ohio, Indiana and Ken
lucky. Some few have not paid their
subscriptions in full, but for the most
part the subscribers have been true
to their promises and the collections
have been good.
Now that the people have, by their
concerted effort and unselish sacrifice
of time and money, made the building
of truck line railroad through this
section not only possible and probable,
but certain, it lily becomes the man
through whose land the road must run
to demand exorbitant prices for the
right-of-way.
1t is the common expression that II
would give the rigbt-of- f-way if | thought
the road would ever be built All
right. sir! Just sign contract for the
right -of-way, and if the road isn't built,
our word for it, you will never have
foot Of ground disturbed. Ifitis built
your cause for not giving is removed.
See?
Every obstacle you throw in the way
of your neighbor in securing this
great railway system, which all must
and dc admit will be of great value to
every section through which it passes,
just to that extent you block the
wheels of progress and prevent the en-
hanccment of the value of not only
your own property but that of your
neighbor and the whole community.
We believe when the situation is
rightly explained and the matter thor
oughly looked into, there is not one
land owner in ten who will offer seri
Gus objections.
Remember, the rightof-way given
secures to you concessions, rights, and
privileges, that cannot and will not be
vouchsafed when the line must be
forced through by process of law. In
that case the corporations take every
inch allowed and concede only what
the law compels.
At least, try and show reasonable
public spirit in dealing with the mat
ter.-Dorer (ky) Nears.
