save the Union? Let US see. All the
fruits of the war are epitomized in the
Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth
amendments to the constitution. They
are the summary and the result of four
years deadly fighting-the final decree
of the court of Mars. You will look in
vain in those amendments for a single
word relating to the Union and the
right of a state to secede. They all re-
late to the negro. Thus did the Adolf
tionists by their own works, unmask
themselves. They enlisted Northern
Democrats under deceptive plea. In
to the hands of those patriotic men
they placed false colors, and sent them
to their death with a misleading bat
tie cry upon their lips. They fought
as they thought for their country and
it's flag. but events have proven that
they fought and slew their brothers
and kinsmen for an alien and an in
ferior race. The Puritan had completed
the circle and boxed the compass. He
taught us secession, and then declared
it was treason he established slavery
on the American continent, and then
with the sword proved it was wrong;
he warranted the title to our property,
then declared the sale was contrary
to public policy and void and ousted
us from possession. but kept the pur
chase price; he sold us the negro, and
then took him away from us, and,
worst Of all, he made us ratify and
confirm the steal, and grumbled be-
cause we wouldn't say We liked it.
south's Only Advantage.
THE Southerners had the advantage
OF fighting on their own soil This
gave them added courage. The North
erners were invaders. We noticed the
difference each time we crossed the
line. At Antetam and Gettysburg the
Northern troops fought much more
stubbornlv.
practically every other advantage
was on the side of the North; great
ly superior numbers (the proportion
being more than four to one), with
all the outside world to draw from;
plenty of money; a government al
ready established in all its depart
ments, an army already raised; a navy
already built; minis for coming money;
mum berless factories for turning out
guns, powder, bullets, clothing and
everything else necessary to carry on
war. Nearly all of those things the
South had to hastily improvise. In
practically no single respect was the
South prepared for a war. In fact, it
was not seriously thought that war
would ensue. In the Georgia Seces-

roundings are most appropriate to the
occasion. We are standing on historic
ground. One hundred and fifty-two
years ago, when Georgia was largely
an unexplored wilderness, Benjamin
Baker and Samuel Bacon established
here the beginnings of a most notable
colony of people, from whom have
sprung a brilliant array of distin-
guished men. For over 100 years yon-
der house of God has heard the pray
ers of the faithful. In this ancient
burying ground, removed as it is from
the centers of population and the high
ways of travel, there lies the dust of
two generals of the Revolutionary
army, for each of whom a county of
Georgia takes it's name, one United
States senator one Governor, one COM
modore of the United States navy, and
a number of other men of note. Our
Confederate heroes are In good COM
pany."

history of the colonies, the War of Re

Are you an officer?
This question from Alderman D. r.
Thomas, who presided at yesterdays
session of Police Court, staggered De-
tective Frank Wall.
Nothing just like it had ever before
happened to the well-known plain

prised.

Mounted Patrolman Blumburg was
down as the arresting officer. The
uniformed man was not present, and
Detective Wall stepped forward to
make an explanation.
your honor, officer Blumburg was
simply called on to make this arrest,
and knows nothing about the case. He
asked me to make this statement"
said Wall in his best manner.
1t was then that Alderman Thomas
all but fioored him with the question
quoted above.
OF course, the uniformed men in the
court room didn't overlook any bets,
and they had considerable to say on
the subject.

Address of the Occasion.
In his address, Mr.. Hitch said, in
part:
THE occasion which brings us to-
gether suggests reflections at once ele-
waiting and inspiring. Through the Ia
bors of a devoted band of women, or
ganized as Liberty Chapter of the
United Daughters of the COnfederacy
we are TO mark with enduring stone
the graves of eight Confederate SOL
diers. But for this patriotic society of
noble women, these graves would prob
ably have remained unnoticed, and in
time would have become unknown. The
fathers of these women made glorious
history. 1t is meet that their daugh-
tiers should preserve it.

an interesting programme of exercises,

The occasion was the presentation of
crosses of honor to a number of Con-
federate soldiers and the placing of
monuments to the graves of the SOL
diers buried in the Midway Cemetery
and hitherto unmarked.
The programme was prepared and
given chiefly through the efforts of
Mrs. H. c. Reppard, president of the

scarcely half it's present population the
state of Georgia contributed to the Con-
federate armies ninety-four regiments
and twenty-six battalions of troops,
consisting of 10000 men. In the
Spanish American War. with twice as
large a population, we thought we were
doing we'll to raise three regiments.
1.-THE Confederate soldier will live In
history for having accomplished the
maximum result with the minimum of
means for doing it. Half fed and half
clad, he continually whipped armies
two and three times as large as his
own, and composed of the same race
of men. He carried his country's flag
without pay; he fought his peoples
battles without rewards. He fought
with unfiinching courage against over
whelming odds, and did not falter even
when he knew his cause was hopeless.
He fought for the right as God gave
him to see the right. He did not fight
for conquest. nor for the spells of war
He fought neither for, the fame, nor
for glory, more for empire. He fought
for country. for liberty, for indipend-
ence, for local self-government. He
fought for home, for family and for
fireslde. A hostile foot had been
his life for his native land.
Merits HOnors Paid.
How we'll he fought and how brave
ly he died, history will declare. Every
battle-ground of the South is a mon
ument to his valor and his dauntless
fortitude. He was as brave as the
bravest Lacadaemon at Thermopylae,
and as fearless as any grenadier that
ever bore the eagles of Napoleon.
Daughters of the South and Sons of
the South will never cease to render
him the honor he so richly merited.
All honor to the Confederate soldier,
All honor to his name, all honor to his
deeds, all honor to his memory Let
Southern poets sing his actions in he
roic verse. Let Southern orators lift
up their voices to proclaim the gran
deur of his life. Let Southern child
hood chant the anthems of his praise.
Let Southern mountains stand as mon
uments TO his deathless fame. Let
Southern streams and rivers, as they
run wanton to the sea, murmur their
solos in his maine. Let every tongue
and voice in Southern sea and air and
SKY unite in everlasting song to the
memory Of the Confederate SOLDIER

The effect of April weather upon
the nervous system has not been prop

Overworked people break down in
this month. InVAlids from nervous
diseases get worse. People who never

Catarrhal Nervousness.
The mucous membranes of the
whole body are in a state of catarrhal
congestion. The food is not properly
digested nor assimilated. Discharges
of mucous operate as drain upon the
system The nerve centers are de-
pleted-the constitution undermined.
The sudden withdrawal of the brac-
ing climate of winter added to all
these influences, produces many a
nervous wreck during the month of
April.
It is during this month that so many
people have found Peruna of priceless
