1t IS not to be forgotten that from
the very outset, and up to the present
moment the leaders of the Afrikander
cause have insisted that they would fight
while there remained five hundred able
bodied men to Shoulder a rifle. Miss
Olive Schreiner, at the beginning of the
war, declared her conviction that England
would never effect the conquest of South
Africa as long as there remained a
woman fit to bear child. Sentiment of
this kind reads well and inspires many

MEMORIAL DAY.

On Saturday, once again, lovers Of
the Lost Cause-those who followed
Lee, jackson and Stuart, and their ad.
mirers-decorate the little mounds IN
the cemetery (the number fast increas-
ing) that mark the last resting place of
many brave "wearer Of the gray"
The days of Secession are over, and
ih're is one grand country, powerful
and strong, formed by the United
States. National pride is strong in the
So1th. Patriotism stands next TO re-
ligion alone for men who have given
up their homes and dear ones to fight
for country and flag.
Yet with all this, with tbs new Soath
turning its face towards the rising sun,
and bending every energy in her on
ward march to industrial victory, sue
cess and wealth, the heart of Dixie
beats ever for the b sroes of 81 and '65.
1t is o sentiment-a beautiful senti-
ment--that an oveipowered people
cherish and love. Their brave men
sacrificed their lives upon the altar Of
their convictions, for love of country.
They gave up their fortunes and even
their homes. They lett their country
mansions of elegance and returned TO
miserable huts of poverty and want.
They were defeated, but they loved
the Cause, the men and their beautiful
South none the less--but more
