Not More Deadly Than war.

Railroads more deadly than war; is
the taking but untruthful heading under
which some Of the daily journals are
comparing the statistics of railway acct
dents during year with the number OF
casualties in the short Cuban and Boer
wars. The comparisons are meaningless
because they seek to compare unlike
facts and conditions. 1t is stated that in
the Spanish American war, from April al
to Oct. I, 1895, S I.3 months, the num-
Der OF deaths from wounds and disease
was 2845; while. during the year ended on
June 80, 1899, the number of deaths re-
sulting from the operation of all the rail
ways in the United States, suffered by
passengers, employees, trespassers, ETC.,
was 1928 out Of the entire population Of
the country.
Now compare the number of persons
engaged in the Cuban war with the num-
Der carried and employed by the rail-
ways, and the percentage of casualties to
the number of people exposed to them
shows even the little Cuban war to have
been infinitely more deadly than rail-
roads. Out Of total Of 247,7I7 officers
and men 2S45 died from wounds or dis
ease in about FIVE months--that is, in
IS; while Of the oa8 ,9a4 railway employees
in the country, 1910 we're killed, or in
42o, in year. The little Cuban war
actually killed 63s more soldiers than
the entire number of railway employees
killed on the 100000 miles Of railway in
twice the time.
When the casualties to the travelling
public are considered, the absurdity Of
the comparison with the loss of life in
war is still more apparent. The number
of passengers carried by the railways in
the United States during the IL months
referred to was 5a3,I76, sos Of whom only
23o were killed, or in 2,rSo,ooo! Evil
IDENTIFY railway travel is not .'more deadly
than war;" when. in very small war, in
very few months, the number Of deaths
is IL times as great--2845, against ago.
as the whole number of railway passen-
gers killed in II months, out of tine 523,-
ooo,ooo carried.
Comparison of railway casualties with
those resulting from war or any other
cause is evidently ridiculous, unless the
number of persons exposed is compared
in each case. Otherwise almost every
employment and musement--bicycling,
boating, cunning, fishing, walking on
city streets, or going to bed nights might
be demonstrated to be 'smore deadly
than war" by comparing the number of
fatalities resulting from a single war
with the total number of deaths from
these causes or in these conditions, oc-
curing in an entire continent, within
corresponding time.

IN the Civil War. Every ass that
passes by kicks at the dead lion. And
1t remains for those of Post Bellum
generation to see that the causes, mo-
tives and conduct of that war are
preserved in their virginia. purity and
lifted beyond the reach of contempt.
We appreciate the fact that the
Civil War had to happen, as has been
said. The sound of political strife
from Washington to Lincoln foretold
It. Southern men had formed this
government, they, gave it the strength
that afterward enabled it to turn
upon aud defeat them.
1t was the voice of Patrick Henry
that blazed the way for the Revolu-
tiOn. 1t was the hand of Washing
ton that guided that Revolution to a
successful end. 1t was the mind of
Jefferson that conceived and wrote
the Declaration of independence,
and the Constitution of the United
States.
The contest wsged between Madi-
son and Hamilton with the pen over
the constitution, was identical with
the contest subsequently fought out
between the North and the South
with the sword. Madison contended
for the sovereignty of the States,
Hamilton wanted q strong central
government, Madison won, and the
South fought for the constitutional
principles be established.
Therefore your history shall not
die, And if our Northern friends tell
those of our generation We 'do not
know the war is over;" we will reply
sit shall never be over, until the
story of the Lost Cause is written in
all of its purity"
The sincerity of motive shall be
shown; the justness of the quarrel
made plain; the daring, self-sacrifice
and martyrdom of her heroes must
be so deeply carved upon the pillars
of time that the glory of the Confed-
crate Soldier shall become the COM
mon glory of the whole land. |

The proudest inscription that

you should cherish, and teach your
children never to forget to honor the
memory of the men who died for

ors of that great struggle, in which
all was lost save honor. Take this
banner, not to DO battle under Its
folds, for the flag of your country is
now different one, and duty re-
quires that if you should ever be
called to 90 battle under it. as in
these troublesome times you may be,

weary years

Mr.. Speaker: My comrades have
bestowed upon me the honor of
thanking the gentleman you repre-
sent-Marshall Levi, for the hand
some gift he makes our Camp through
you, his spokesman. Several years
ago ne promised lis this beautiful
Confederate Flag, so soon as we ap-
peared In new uniforms. Thanks to
the ladies of the community, and to
our MillwOod neighbor, Mr.. Hopkins
Jolliffe, we are able to comply with
the condition, and the Marshall now
complies with his promise. We will
always honor the flag of our common
country, but we will love the memory
of the Cause represented by these
colors, now presented us, none the
less. We will ever treasure this flag
and guard 1t from all harm.
Every day shows more distinct
appreciation of the real causes of the
Civil War among the Sons of Veter-
ans. He understands now that the
Confederate soldier fought for con-
stitutional liberty: that he fought to
preserve the sovereignty of the States:
that he sought to uphold decision
of the court of last resort at Wash
ington: that he fought for principle
and from principle: aud that not un.
til the North sought to brush the
Constitution aside, and resort to CO.
ercion, did the South appeal to the
arbitrament of war.
And indeed it is meet and right
that we, sons and daughters of the
Confederacy, should show ourselves
worthy of our parentage. In this
day and generation it has become the
fashion In other sections of this cOun-
try to have nothing but words of con
demnation for Southern participants

Maj. MOOre'S Address.
FAREWELL

Commander of the J. Z. B. Stuart
Camp of Sons of Confederate Veter-
ans, and members of the Camp. one
and all: Several years ago, soon after
your camp was organized, and when
| had the honor to command 1t, a
gentleman of this county, himself a
Confederate veteran, promised the
Camp that when it was uniformed.
he would present to it banner.
Years have passed since that time,
but the promise has not been forgot
ten, and now at your first appearance
In your new aud handsome and ap-
propriate uniforms, have the honor,
at the request. and in the name and
behalf of Mr.. G. W. Levi, to present
to you this beautiful flag.
That flag now has no place among
the banners of the nations of the
earth; it is furled now forever. In
the language of a Southern poet, at
Appomattox, "The warriors banner
took its fight 10 greet the warriors
soul"
No more will it waive above the
shining bayonets and glittering sa-
bres of charging hosts; but to those
who followed it, the sight of it brings
back vivid recollections of stirring
scenes, and deeds of valOr and of glo.
ry.
None but those who endured them
can understand appreciate the priva-
tions, sufferings and dangers that be;
set the men who followed it. This
they did for principle; to defend the
rights of their State; to uphold the
principle of the constitution which
their fathers formed and handed
down to them; to defend their homes
and their tiresldes from desolation
and destruction, and to save the low
Ell ones there from insult and op-
preston, at the hands of those who
would take from them all that was
valuable, and who would burn their
houses over their heads and send them
out houseless and homeless; no not
homeless, for their homes were in the
hearts and homes of every true South
ern man and woman in the land.
| was about to say that we believed
we were right, but will not say that,
and will say in stronger language
that We know we were right, and ever
since and even now We know better
than then, that we were right III what
we did.
