x-SenatOr PETER, one of the
founders of the populist party, has
returned to the ranks of the repub-
licans. He says: 81 have always been
republican except on one main
questionable money question. That
seems to have settled itself apparent
ly now. The populist party has been
eliminated nationally by the demo
Gratis, so those of us who don't want
to flop by ourselves will have to vote
our convictions as best we can. The

left the republican party never was
headed for democracy and he is not

Last Saturday evening was observ-
ed as memorial day at the Old Chap
el, where are buried many of the sons
of Clarke who offered up the greatest
sacrifice they could make-tbeir lives
for the Lost Cause, and the throng
in attendance was unusually large.
The exercises opened with prayer
by Rev. j. Courtney Jones, followed
by the singing of the hymn, go, Par
adise," etc., after which Mr.. r. Pow.
ell Page read the roll call of the dead.
Another hymn, "Jesus Calls U.s."
was sung, when Capt. VIM. Page
Carter introduced as the orator for
the occasion, Mr.. Blackburn Smith,
speaking of him as a soldier of the
war with Spain and the son of a SOL
dier.
Mr.. Smiths address was careful,
concise, and well delivered. He di-
vided into three SUBSCRIPTIONS his sub
ject: 1st-Who were the Confederate
soldiers? End What were they fight
ing for? 3rd-Who led them? He said
they fought for liberty and the preser-
walton of State rights, and cited the
position of Jefferson as upholding this
doctrine, while Hamilton opposed it;
of Washington who fought for it, and
the right of citizens of the States to
dispose of slaves as property. In
speaking of the men who later sus-
tanned the doctrine of State rights he
named Albert Sidney Johnston, Ear
ly, (to whose unyielding nature he
paid a glowing tribute,) Jackson,
Stuart and Lee, Applause.
He then referred to the sons of
veterans and their duties, and the
part they had taken in the Spanish
war. He spoke in the highest terms
of the women of the South, saving
that their sacrifices were greater ev
en- than those of the men" His re
marks were delivered huently and
without notes.
At their conclusion the old veterans
who are survivors of the stormy times
of lS6l-'65, proceeded to strew flow
ers upon the graves of their slain
brethen. Commander Thomas ID.
Gold, of the J. f. b. Stuart Camp.
made some brief and very appropri
ate remarks concerning this annual
ceremony.
The exercises then closed with the
singing of the "Bonnie Blue Flag
and other Southern war songs by the
choir.
