To Men of the Confederacy.

Read at the reunion and resolution
of thanks rendered the gifted young poet.
To the men who have followed when
Jackson has led,
TIC those who have hattled and to those
who have bled,
To those who have fought, both living
and dead,
For the cause that was lost, though in
memory we cherish
Its hallowed recollections, never to per-
ish;
To them let us sing new centurys
praise:
To them make The assurance, that the
desolate days,
Which wrought their undoing, but fixes
OF those who were stockings at the moth
erly breast,
When they our heroes, went forth on
their quest,
Close swarming in thousands, from the
South and the West;
They fought for cause that was noble
and grand,
They gave all, yea all, at their country's
demand
shall stand.
And though we may weep by that banner
that's furled,
We know that twas honored by all the
wide world;
We know twas ever in the thick of the
fight,
We know that, though lowered, twis low
cred to might,
We know that they followed since they
knew they were right.
Oh! we trace but poorly through the
books weary pages
The work of their footsteps through the
battles red stages,
The shout and the groan, when moments
are ages;
The lannon's dull roar, the shot and the
shell,
When Death is their comrade, and thou
sands make hell,
These are the scenes that the book
doesn't tell.
And the book never tells how weary and
worn,
They marched all the night and fought
at the dawn,
Nor how, on the food an infant could eat.
They marched and they fought, nor muir
INJURED retreat,
They fought when they knew it was final
defeat.
And, though in tatters, and with feet
that were sore,
They cried when they knew that the bat
ties were Ger,
Like men, they took up the line that was
rayed,
All of them workers, and most of them
prayed
For the land that they loved, and soon
had they made
Our land of today, the land of the world;
Whose banner of progress shall never
be furled.
Still by that banner, that's furled ever
more,
We weep at it's fortune and still we
adore
The heroes, who followed till the conflict
was Ger,
And we'll weep, and Wen honor till
time shall unroll,
Till the nations are lost in the dust oil
their mold.

Lovers of baseball have not stopped
talking yet of the triple play made I'M
assisted by Harry OHagan, manager of
the Rochester baseball team of the East
ern League, Monday of last week The
play is hard to explain very well without
a diagram, but little study of the dia-
gram published today will show at a
glance how the trick was done.
O'Hagan played the position of first
base against the Jersey City team on
Monday of last week.
1t was in the latter half of the fourth
inning, when two of the local team, Mack
and Shoch were ON first and second base,
respectively. Butler, who was at the bat,
attempted a sacrifice bunt, but his effort
in this direction resulted in a short in
field fly between first base and the pitch
er's box
O'Hagan ran in and caught the ball
within a few inches of the ground, a
seemingly impossible catch. The moment
the ball was hit Mack ran for second and
Shoch sprinted toward third base neither
one thinking that O'Hagan would succeed
sin making the catch.
Having in his quick thinking mind the
possibility of triple play, O'Hagan, with
the GOODNESS and agility which are part
of a baseball players earning capacity,
ran back and placed his foot on the initial
bag, thus completing a double play, an
uncommon feat. Meanwhile Shoch had
nearly reached third base. But the warn
ing shouts of the other members of the
visiting team appraised him of what had
transpired. He ran back toward second
in order to save himself.
O'Hagan, still having the individual
possibility in his mind, was speeding in
the same direction, as he could easily
have thrown the ball and let the man
covering second complete the play. II
was a hot race, but O'Hagan, ball in
hand, reached the bag first, thus dimiss-
ing the side with brilliant triple play.

RESIGNATION OF SENATORS.
Caused by Principle of instruction in the
Ante Bellum Days.
washington PoSt)

Editor Post: In your editorials of Tues
day, the 18th instant, there appeared a
very interesting article on Senatorial res
ignations With your PERMISSION | will
cite two or three other rather remark
able designations.
Nathaniel Macon Of North Carolina, re-
signed his seat in the U. 5. Senate in
November, 1928, on the ground OF old age.
He was just turning his SEVENTEEN birth
day, and his theory was that no man
should be intrusted with responsible
positions after passing the Psalmist's
limit of life Hence he resigned, leav-
ing an unexpired term of two years.
During Macon's long life in Congress
he constantly advocated the doctrine
which was largely originated by him and
John Randolph, his friend, that a Sena-
tor was subject to the will OF his State
legislature; that he was the agent of the
State and should be instructed how to
vote on important matters, If there
should be any difference between his pri-
vate opinion and the opinion of the Legis-
lature. But his party was not In general
ready to admit this, and, notwithstand-
ing his phenomenal popularity, North
Carolina was pretty equally divided as
to this when Macon's successor was
elected
In 1880 Willie P. Mangum, prominent
Wing and able man, was elected to the
Senate from North Carolina. The princi-
pie of instructing, as it was called, was
not admitted by Mangum The Demo-
cratic candidate, Bedford Brown, accepted
the Macon doctrine, and for six years a
fierce fight was waged between the two
parties on this principle, along with
others. In 1886 the State went Demo-
cratic by very small majority, and
Mangum resigned rather than "be in
structed'' In 1910 Brown resigned from
similar causes; in 1914 William H. Hay
wood, and 1854 George E. Badger re-
signed because of a disagreement be-
tween them and their constituent Legis-
latures.
Politics ran a similar course in Vir-
ginia, and in 1886 Benjamin w. Leigh
resigned his seat in the Senate. The
principle of instructing was not, in my
opinion, however, made so important in
political ethics in Virginia as in North
Carolina.
1t will be remembered this was the era
of the Wing Democratic fight in the
South, and the strictly States rights
idea of instructing Senators was finally
lost in the great unifyig process of
Southern sentiment on slavery which
filled the last decade of ante bellum
times. 1t was a courteous and knightly
fight in the old South a precursor to the
greater, more fearful one Of 1876.

is not an infrequent occurrence. When it
does happen there are generally one or
two assists. A triple play is rarity,
even when half the team may assist. But
never before since baseball graduated
from the old game of FOUNDERS has a
triple played unassisted been recorded
Paul Hines, who played with the Provi-
dence nine of the National League, is
credited with having made an unassisted
triple play on May s, 1878, in a game be-
tween Boston and Providence, played in
the latter city. 1t was not until the fall
of 1888 that the public was informed that
such feat had been accomplished. Then
an article in a magazine stated that
Hines had made a triple play. But 1T
was contradicted when the real facts Of
the play came out. Charles ]. Sweasy,
who covered second base for the Provi-
dence team during the game, made a
statement showing conclusively that
Hines had not made the play unassisted.
Sweasy said:
Il assisted Hines in making the triple
play mentioned so largely in the public
prints The ball was struck by Burdock
to short left field. Hines started for it
on a dead run, and succeeded in catching
it, but nearly stumbled. Regaining his
feet, however, he kept on running to third
base, reaching that station before Man
ming could return, thereby putting Man
ming out.
Sutton, who had reached third, seeing
Hines coming with the ball, started back
to second. Hines touched third and start
ed to catch Sutton, but Sutton, being a
good sprinter, Hines saw that he could
/, not catch him, and threw the ball to
me at second base in time to catch SUIT
i ton before he reached it,
! This statement of Second Baseman
/ Sweasy, who assisted in the play, dis
/ poses of Hines claim to have accomplish
ed triple play unassisted. 1t leaves that
honor to O'Hagan alone.

Southern Volunteers Who
Went to Mexico in 40.
CONTINUED from Page Nine.)

Kearney and Col. Fremont in the West,
with Commodores Sloat, Stocton and
Montgomery.
Mexico declared war against the United
States the 23rd of March, 1916, the treaty
OF peace was signed the End of February,
1S4S, and in this short time Qess than
two years) the men fighting for 1.-The
rights" under the Star Spangled Banner,
won for the United States Texas, Cali
fornia, Nevada Arizona, Utah and New
Mexico. $50, 400 square miles. Wouldn't
the maps of North America look queer"
if all that western land was of one color
and marked "Mexico?"
Has there ever been a monument raised
to these men or to the battles they won?
Surely they should have triumphant
arch for being victorious in this War of
Victories
Ohio and Kentucky have State Associa-
tions and have annual reunions. Have
any of the other States these organiza-
tions? The National Association OF
Mexican Veterans will hold their reunion
at Paris, KY, on the 25th of September
1902. How many of the ''old Vets" will
meet and talk of the "old times and be
boys again" for a few days, laugh at
the hard tack colder than they were)
they had to eat. and that some of the
boys said they could not eat alive so
scalded it Cor them in their coffee made
from parched beans, and the heavy KNAPP
sacks and other troubles that one can
laugh and grumble about while under
going times that try mems souls.
Last week there came a letter from
Indiana telling little of what the In
diana boys had to bear on their way to
Mexico. Their ship was caught in a
tornado while crossing the Gulf, and the
men had to go into the hold and fasten-
ed the matches down to keep from being
washed away, then they were wrecked on
an island and here they staid for two
days before they were rescued and taken
to the main land without nothing to
keep them alive but their brave hearts.
At every reunion the ranks of the
Veterans look as decimated as did those
of the Mississippi Rifles at their parade
after the battle of Buena Vista. That
these few may witness the organization
at their reunion in September. Some
women will meet with them and organize
a society to be to this war what the
Daughters of the Revolution and United
Daughters of the Confederacy are to the
Revolution and Confederate War. 1t |;
womans work TO collect the history made
by these men and to perpetuate the

preserve the honor and glory won in this
one of the greatest wars of history?
The staff of our flag is in the Museum
at Raleigh, but we have never been able
to learn what became of the flag.
The "Old Vets" are so pleased at the
thought that the women wish to give
them all the honor they can, and letters
come from everywhere. General Frost,
of st. Louis, was the first to offer en-
enlargement and give advice; then Gen.
Hobson, who was the national president
of the association and who died the last
day of the. reunion at Cleveland last
year; and Mrs. Keneday, whose husband
alexander Keneday) organized the Ma
tional Association of Mexican Veterans,
has written too saying she hoped to live
to see the women organized If one
somebody in each State would issue a
call through a State paper telling about
these the youngest daughters" and the
plan to meet at Paris, many would hear
of its and gladly assist in organizing the
club. If each company, or even regiment,
should be represented by one represen-
tative every Mexican veteran at Paris
could see the society formed an accom-
plished fact, having elected the officers,
made the bylaws and planned the work
to be done, and give the Daughters"
their blessings.
Mr. John A. Hobson (Greensburg, KY,
descended from a North Carolina soldier
of the regiment) is doing all a man can
do to help us, and if the women who
wish to be charter members and cannot
go to the reunion will send their names
to him they will he enrolled Miss Alice

also in the society 'for work" and will

the Mexican veterans fought against each
