LONGSTREET IS LAUDED
CAMP FALKNER PASSES RESo.
 BUTTONS ON HIS DEATH.
Tribute by Living Confederate Sol diers to a Dead General-The Camp Elected Three
 New Members.

 'Tn the death of Lieutenant General James Longstreet. great soldier has passed over the river to his final rest. No more will he wake to behold the splendor and fame of his men. He has fought his last battle. In the school of war he had learned courage. promptness and determination. Its stren lessons had taught him fortitude in suffering, cool ness in danger, and cheerfulnes under re- verses. Every Southernor should feel proud of his record as a soldier.
 s'while some of those who were asso- ciated with him in the many great bat ties in which he was a conspicuous figure, have permitted themselves to engage in some adverse criticism of his conduct on one occasion only. the officers and men under his immediate command never for moment doubted his courage, his skill his integrity. his sincerity. or his loyalty fos the cause for which he unsheathed his sword. Nor did the great Lee. whose confidence he retained to his death. ever intimate that Longstreet was not faithful brave and prompt in the discharge of every duty as a soldier.
 s'As surviving comrades we will cherish \ his memory. as Alabamians. we are proud of his record His integrity, his honesty and his heroic conduct are worthy of emulation.
 Resolved by Camp Jeff Falkner, No. 13s9. U. c. V.:
 s'E'irst--That our sincere condo'ence is hereby rendered his bereaved widow and other members of his family
 ssSecond--That this memorial and resolu- items be spread upon our minutes, and that they be given to the press for publi- cation.
 aThird-That a copy of the same be mailed to his widow at Gainesville Ga"
 The resolutions were adopted unani- mously and without discussion.

the officials who ruled that the mare did

ders has no doubt-and he is of the
opinion that trotting horsemen in gem
eral hold the same opinion that he does
that Lou Dillon is faster than Maud
S. ever was. no matter in what way
the horses could be hitched. For that
reason Sanders says he does not take
the decision of the ruling committee Sc
riously.
But. at the proper time" Sanders
further says. I'VE are going to show

they erred when they took away Lou

they have had a standing reward of S.

lowers Maud s. mark under similar
conditions and in a similar sulky If
the loan OF her sulky is granted. the
trial will be made over the Glenwood
track. where Maud S. trotted to her
record. and l am willing to post S.
600 any day that Lou Dillon will pull
Maud SIS suiky over the same track in
better than 2:05. I have the greatest re-
spect for the memory of Maud S. She
was the grandest trotter of her time.
Before we decided to attack her record
Mr. Billings weighed every angle of the
dispute we knew would follow the rec
ord-breaking. We have been criticised
for our action in lowering the mark. but
were not prepared for the decision which
wiped Lou DillOn's record from the
