nation owes it's life. To him we are in.
debted for all the blessings we enjoy in
our model republic; his unselfsh sacri-

memory of the dead. Realizing this
the State and the nation have by wise
legislation designated an annual me-
mortal day. On this day let us show
our love and gratitude to the American
soldier. Let us deck with the choicest
floral offerings the graves of our patri-
otto dead. Let US renew our fealty to
the cause of liberty and reconsecrate
ourselves to the institutions of our
country which these men fought and
died to save. Let us, then, observe as

AS General Gordon rose to reply he

In his address General Gordon said :

who do. We have long since drawn
the curtain of oblivion over the regret
full and unseemly things of the past,

CONFEDERATES MEET
THOUSANDS OF OLD SOLDIERS
HOLD THEIR REUNION At
NEW ORLEANS.

New Orleans, May 20.-The sessions
OF the fourteenth annual reunion of
the United Confederate Veterans was
opened at the great auditorium at the
fair grounds. The weather was per-
feet and the arrangements by the local
committee most successful There
were thousands of old soldiers, hun
dreds of beautiful women and above
all on every hand a profusion of f1ut-
tering flags and waving streamers
There was martial music without limit
and enthusiasm unbounded. Over the
beauty and success Of the day there
was but a single shadow, and that
promises to disappear soon. This
was the illness of General Gordon, the
commander-in-chief of the organiza-
ton. He was not we'll when he left
his hotel for the auditorium and had
not been in his usual health for sew
eral days. Nothing but his grim fight
ing spirit carried him through the
day without something akin to col
lapse. His condition is in no manner
serious, but 1t is possible that he may
not be able to preside at all the ses-
sions at the auditorium
General Gordon was given an Ova-
ton when he took his seat at the
opening of the convention.
General J. B. Levert called the as
sembly to order and Rev. J. William

The United States is generally re-
garded as CT agricultural country, and
the important part which the products
OF our farms perform in supplying the
world with food, furnish q reasonable
basis for such belief. The report Of
the last census. however, shows that
during the ten years ending with 1900,
the value Of manufactures was nearly
double that Of agriculture. The fig
ures are 81, 750, 600, 900 for agriculture
and s. $3.50, 600, 900 for manufactures.
But the growth of the manufacturing
interests is neither inimical to the az.
ricultural interests nor independent
of them. The farms of the country
supplied we 80 per cent of the raw
material used in manufacturing, while
the mines and forests supplied less
than 20 per cent. Agriculture is there

upon which the development of the
