the people who so grandly illustrated
their loyalty to the Confederacy are pass
ing away. the south claims for them a
truthful, dispassionate history Of the caus-
es leading to their withdrawal from the
union. and the subsequent events when
the tocsin of war sounded throughout the
land. Religion and patriotism should
dominate every human life, and as love
OF country comes next to our love ana
allegiance TO God, 1t must follow that
people panoplied with righteousness must
be a happy, patriotic people. The memo
ries of the heroic sufferings and sacrifices
Of the noble men and women throughout
the land make history that will shine
with imperishable lustre, proving to the
world that
Noble sons, through dust and heat
Rise from disaster and defeat the strong

The gradest vindication of the south will
come when Truth, no longer crushed to
earth through observation-disclosures and sec

characters a just tribute to every Ameri-

the record be: There lies an American
hero, a martyr to the right as his con-

Anything relating TO the man with the
flag is always interesting, especially so to
Journal readers who have enjoyed the
tales of the old Confederates for the past
year or so. Mr.. b. L. Neal, of Winfield,
Ca. was second sergeant Of company ID,
Twelfth Georgia battalion, Evans brigade,
and Journal man recently had the pleas
ure of spending few hours at his hospit-
able home. While there Mr.. Neal showed
me his collection of relies, some of which
date from the time the land was young
on down to the days of the Confederacy.
The first was a gun of ponderous size
and very lond. This was his grandfather's
musket, which was used in the Revolu-
tionary war The name of the old mus
ket is ''Buckaneer," and load for IL was
one ball and three buckshot. The weap-
on is six feet long, flint and steel, and
the stock extends the whole length Of the
barrel. Mr.. Neal tells a thrilling tale
about this old fire-arm. All who are ia
miliar with the old flint and steel locks
know that it is a very easy matter to
strike" fire with them. One day Mr.. Neal
was away from home and Mrs. Neal could
not find a match, so she decided she would
make a fire with the old musket. just as
she had seen 1t done in the days of yore.
She proceeded to get some powder and
cotton, and then pulled the trigger. The
musket was laying across her lap when
she pulled the trigger. There was a
click. a splutter. a blaze, then deafen-
ing roar, and the old musket jumped to
the floor, while a load of buckshot went
crashing through the opposite walls. Chill
dren were playing around her when the
gun fred, and Mrs. Neal regards II as
kind of miracle that none of them were
hurt. The old gun had not been used in
forty years, and was loaded for bear"
The next relic was the old rifle of Mr..

pair of surgeons tweezers which he pro-
cured'at the battle of Kernstown, in north
ern Virginia He also has a collection OF
Indian relics that remind one forcibly OF
the days when the land was young"
He also has his company's roll book and
in the back Of # journal Of his prison life
while in Point Lookout prison, where he
was detained six months. It is intended "a

Money couldn't hardly buy It, but Mr..
Neal has kindly consented to let me use
II in writing a future article for The Jour
nal. Mr.. Neal has his old army Bible
which he purchased in 1856 while going TO
school In Thomson. It was purchased
from Auren Stanford whose store stood
where the depot now stands. There were
only two stores IN the place then. Mr..
Neal e a close personal friend Of General
c. A. Evans. He is a farmer and nursery
man. His farm is after the fashion of the
old south and he raises an abundance OF
corn, peas, wheat and oats as well as hogs.
cows, sheep and all the horses he needs.
In addition to his farm he has his
nursery and he supplies hundreds OF trees
to farmers throughout this section OF the
state. He has six varieties OF seeding
peaches with long pedigree and all Of
them are fine.
He also has several pecan, English wal
nut trees, etc. His orchards cover seven
acres and visit to his piace would be

He described very infinitely the flight OF
various birds and remember that while
speaking of the crow he said the crow
always flies exactly As feet in second,
tapping its wings every nine feet ana
consequently making five strokes per Sec
ond. He was soliciting the funds neces-
sary for the completion of one machine
After that government support would be
available for building all that would be
required for his projected campaign. He
would demand for that purpose the con-
struction Of 500 machines which according
to his plans could be accomplished in a
very short time.
The greatest possible care would be ia
ken in the selection OF the 500 reliable
young men to take charge of and operate
the machines on the next Monday morn
ing following the completion Of the ma
chimes the campaign would open. That
would be devoted 10 the humiliation or
capture of McClellan's army. 1t would not
take all day to accomplish 1t but we would
be satisfied with that for the days work.
Tuesday we would make a dash over into
Tennessee and do up Rosecrans and
his army, Wednesday we would skirt
along the Atlantic coast, capture all the
forts and the battleships of the block
aders and everything else wanted in that
quarter. Thursday we would make a raid
upon the gulf coast. the Mississippi river
and clean up everything out west. On
Friday we would pay our respects to Mr..
Lincoln and have a big cleaning up in
Washington. On Saturday we would
hold a grand jubilee in Richmond, cele-
brating the events Of the preceding days
in an appropriate manner with speaking,
parades, barbecues, etc. He seemed TO

Soon after the seven days battle while
we were near Richmond the Tenth Geor-
gia regiment was entertained one even
ing with a lecture by an old gentleman
who was on lecturing tour of the army
and who was called the Professor" The
avowed object of his lectures was the coll
lection by popular contributions Of the
funds necessary to enable him to perfect
a newly invented weapon of warfare which
he claimed would enable us to easily con-
quer all the armies of the United States
in less time than one week and that with
out the loss of man. He called his ma
chine the artisans, which he explained
was the Latin for bird of art. 1t consist
ed as the name implied, of a great me-
chanical bird capable of rising high in
the air and flying very rapidly in any de-
sired direction, carrying an engineer to
guide and control it and a heavy bomb
shell to drop among the enemy. 1t was
made exactly in the shape of bird, every
part of which-body, head, wings, tail, etc.
was accurately proportional after the
natural model. Inside its body was
comfortable cushioned seat for the engi-
neer, convenient to the various levers,
treadles, cords, ETC., by means OF which
all its movements were controlled. In its
head was fixed a whistle so arranged that
by pulling a cord just at the instant
when his left foot pressed the treadie to
drop the bomb Il would make a most ter
rifying scream, which he said would cause
the enemy underneath to cry out in the
language of the builder, "Stand from I'M
der" Its speed was so great that II
could cover the distance from Richmond
to washington or Fortress Monroe in a
few minutes or from Richmond to New
Orleans in fraction of an hour. The
propelling power, he said, was a secret
which he could not afford to give away.
The science and art of flying, he said, had
been his life study and he had COM
pletely mastered every detail OF the me-

ACAT AND DOG STORY.

Everybody knows how much a dog and
cat hate each other, but 1t is very seldom
that their dislikes lead to such serious
results as did a difference that lately oc-
Cured between bulldog and a black cat
in fruit store.
The owner of the bulldog used to let
him run around in the cellar for exercise,
but one morning the dog got tired Of his
narrow quarters and went up stairs into
neighboring fruit store, where the black
cat lived.
OF course, the cat did not like TO have
any one come into her home without an
invitation, much less one of her old matt
ural enemies-the dogs. So as soon as the
dog entered out jumped the cat full upon
him. and, Of course. a fight followed.
which naturally drew into it the owner OIL
the fruit store and the owner Of the dog.
The dog, being very lively, soon turned
over several baskets Of fruit and upset thel
stands of oranges and peanuts, while their,
masters were vainly trying to settle the
row. As there seemed no early settlement
I'm sight the owner of the cat and fruit
stand called in a policeman, but in the
meantime the dog had virtually gotten the
best of the fight, having caught the cat BY
the neck, and all the coaxing and pulling
would not persuade him to let go.
The owner Of the dog pulled and pound
ed and the policeman, seeing way out,
put his billy between Bruno's teeth and
pried open his jaws. only TO find that thei
cat was so badly mangled that 1t had 20 Do.
