MR.. GANo's ADDRESS.

In his address of welcome. R. Lee Gano
son OF General r. NJ. Gano, said;
my friends, the cause of the South was
Just Force Of arms never settled a moral
question. The late civil war was right
or it was wrong. Let us have the courage
and manhood to accept and proclaim one
side of this proposition or the other. As
for myself, / have no sympathy with that
maudlin sentiment which says our fathers
believed they were right, but destiny willed
It otherwise.
The civil war Is over. Peace again
spreads Its wings over q happy and pros
porous people. / thank God that after four
years of the bloodiest war in the annals
OF modern times those brave and cour-
ageous men who fought for the Southern
Confederacy were able to return home and
apply their energies to the upbuildng of
n common country. Though stricken with
poverty, and scarcely able to by food and
clothing, by the application Of untiring en-
ergy and splendid minds, they have made
the South to bloom and blossom like the
rose. ! also thank God that from the
lons OF those brave and chivalrous men
nave sprung a sturdy and courageous tribe
of young men and young women who will
yet save the American Republic from
wreck and ruin
In his response, Colonel R. NJ. Wynne
of Fort Worth said he was sorry the South
had failed Colonel Wynne is one Of the
old veterans and his remarks were ap
plauded.

They mad the oil running flrst into pools

bir tanks. 1t ran regularly at the rate
of' 400 barrels per hour. but every two
hours they were compelled to put In new
