in the end, anyhow"
Mr.. Holmes discusses the sOmber
question Of ante-mOrtem purchase Of
collins with a good deal of conser-
vatism and considers his sentiments
on the question philosophical. The
casket Is costly one and was bought
from the stock of his friend, Hollis
K. Thompson, a veteran undertaken,
who died about five years ago.
He examines it quite frequently to
see that it is being properly preserved.
He has also erected a fine monument
ON his lot at Franklin Cemetery and
has the space ready to make proper
epitaph after his demise. His friends
are hopeful that it will be many years
before he will have any use for these
things he has so cautiously provided,
and from his present physical appear

the years will be of a good number

hardships of war times, at home, as
an eve witness and party to those
troubles and embarrassments. The
Missouri compromise question, the
Fugative slave act, the formation of
tho republican party, and the John
Brown raid, wero successive steps
toward elimination in 1860, when
Mr.. Lincoln was elected president
Of the United States, which was the
signal for a general move in the south
for separate government, South Car
olina leading, then came Mississippi,
Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana,
Texas, etc. Mr. Lincoln declared in
his inaugural address that no state
could lawfully withdraw from the
union, and hence declared war. The
southern seeded states had met in
convention at Montgomery, Ala, on
February 4, 1861, and adopted con-
stitution and organized government
under the name of the Confederate
States of America, and United States
SeantoT, Jefferson Davis, was chosen
president. They commenced at once
to gather an army Of defense, soon
4, 900 men, under General Beauregard,
were placed before Fort Sumter, S.
c., and the Lincoln party were asked
to withdraw from Fort Sumter, and
refusing to do so, the first gun of the
great and terrible war was fred by
General Beauregard on the 18th day
of Arpil, 1851, and Oh the same day
fire was opened on the fort by the
land batteries, and on the 18th the
fort was surrendered after lombard
ment of thirty yfour hours. In this
first engagement not man was killed.
But this could not be said of all the
engagements of the war.
The Fort Sumter fight produced the
most intense excitement all over the
country, north and south; at the
north the Stars and Stripes waved
from church and steeple, house top
and gallery. Lincoln ordered out
70, 900 men for three months, think
ing that would be ample army ana
time to quell the uprising confedrea-
cy, but was he right? Let the
75o, 900 dead answer; let the rivers
of blood, and fountaings Of tears"
testify. However, the $4,000 men

Gen. Winfield Scott. At the same
time the bugle blast was heard all
over the south, calling for volunteers,
and the strength and flower Of our
country responded, company after COM
pany, was made up and drilled into
service, and now when we heard the
roaring cannon, and saw the'armies in
uniform, with mnskets FURNISHED, and
bayonet fourishing we began to re-
alize chat war was real thing. Be-
fore this we were told that it would
be but breakfast task to fog the
'Yanks, > that they knew nothing Of
the usc of firearms, that they had to

the right, but our boys had been

rights and were separated from the

thing would flow as free as water;

pour into our Golfers most gloriously.
Then would 'sDixe's land be a land

But the time came to part with our
loved ones. We found it no time
of rejoicing, but of sadness and sor-
row. Father and husband, leaving
helpless wives and little children,
with no ono to make them a support;
frequently--for you must know it
was rich mans quarrel and the
poor mans fight giving up dear
brothers to march away to battle as

In keeping with the list of subjects
given in my Introductory letter, will
in this, the second, letter speak of the
separation which took place in our
families during the war of rebellion,
parting with fathers, sons, husbands,
brothers and sweethearts. The war of
secession, or the civil war, between
the states, covering period of four
years, from April, 1861, to the spring
of 1865, was the most heaTtrending
and uncalled for calamity that ever
befell the United States. The fatal
African seed planted upon the banks
of the James river, Va, in 1620-the
Dutch selling, and the pilgrims buy
ing-the first cargo Of negroes, was
the entering wedge which finally
split the national government, and
became the bone of contention be-
tween the north and the south. The
black war cloud began then TO gather
in the hearts and minds of some of the
people; and with increased momen-
tum, and fearful demonstration, it
Iose higher and became more threaten
ing until it burst with all its fury,
ana destructive force upon the heads
of 20 happy and prosperous nation in

and higher, coming nearer and still

THE REGISTRATION MUDDLE.

| THE REGISTRATION MUDDLE.
Owing to the recent confusion rela-
tive to the registration Of voters, a
great many of our people do not know
whether they will be compelled to
register in order to vote in the August
primaries or not. Some weeks ago
| The News made mention that at the
| March, 1908, meeting the board
of supervisors would probably or
der new registration. After the
paper had been issued we were ins
formed by the circuit clerk that the
item referred to was erroneous, as the
board ordered new registration at
the September 1902 meeting. The
following week we corrected the item
by stating that the clerk had been
ordered at the September 1902 meeting
to take the new registration. There
was nothing on the supervisors minutes
to show that new registration had
been ordered, and we simply told in
these columns the facts as related to
US by the circuit clerk 1t now devel-
opes that the board gave the registrar
verbal instructions to purchase new
books, and no order was made for
new registration.
Those of our people who are already
registered and were entitled to vote in
the last congressional primary will be
entitled to vote in the next elections
without further registration. Their
names will be transferred from the old
to the new books, and, therefore, it
will not be necessary for them to stop
work in order to meet the registrar.
Those, however, who are not reg
/ istered, or young men who will reach
the age of 21 years before the first pri-
mary, will, of course, have to register.
We trust that we have made tho above
plain enough and that everyone will
understand it.
