The Adair County news. [volume] (Columbia, Ky.) 1897-1987, 1905-01-25

There seems to be some scan
dial reported in regard to the sur
render of Port Arthur. It is
said that there were provisions
enough to have lasted for two
months longer and the number
of men that been turned over to
the japanese since the surrender
show that a larger force were in
fighting trim than was supposed.
One reason given is that all the
money in Port Arthur was divid-
ed among the Russian officers
and in consequence bitter feel
ing was engendered in the army
and navy which was largely re-
sponsible for the fall of the
fortress.

1t is forty-four years since the guns
from Fort Moultrie and Fort Sumter
called the war dogs to action.
Appomatox was a dark and dreary
day for the South. 1t was overwhelm-
ing in the gloom of its bitterness. Men
who had faced death with scorn on
many sanguinary fields were overcome
with grief inexplicable. The idollzed
leader, Robert F. Lee. had sheathed his
stainless sword. 1t was inevitable. HUI
man endurance and fortitude had
reached its limits, and human virtue and
!1e-oi>n dictated that in defeat the
Southern Coniederacv would be as great
as when flushed with its victories and
noble aspirations.
It was after .Appomatox that the
Heroe, Of the South directed their steps
home, and since then their hest efforts
and influence have been consecrated to
the rebuilding Of waste places, to the
:ttLtliiItlt IL liICIl SUI t-llN
in cl1cris!1ing the memories which Will
ever remain enshrlned in their hearts.
As the Southern Heroes accepted the
result OF the unequal struggle, so have
the: devoted their allegiance to the great
principles of constitutional liberty which
have trumpled in the years of peace.
The Heroes of the South are loyal.
This spirit is intuitive; it is bred in
the bone; it is of the blood; it is inher
tied from the Cavaliers; it is descended
from the Washingtons and Lees and the
Fathers of the Revolution; therefore on
such a day as this. it is fitting that the
Heroes of the South and their children
shall meet in memorial with the Daugh-
tiers of the Confederacy and with their
friends, and in patriotic oratory and
song, and with flowers and evergreen
commemorate the memory of their COM
rades who have been called higher to
their eternal reward.
There is pathos in the reflection that
the old boys are passing away Each
year their number on earth is being re-
duced. New generations have come into
existence since Appomatox, and these,
many of these, perhaps, have only linn
tied conception of the glory of their
fathers, and on these, and on the Daugh-
ters of the Confederacy and their daugh-
tiers, must devolve in years to come the
observance of this day with all its sa-
cred influences and its glorious men,
ories.
And yet little while, the veterans of
Lee, of Jackson, of Johnson and other
chieftains will be memory, sad but
glorious memory.

BRILLIANT ACHIEVEMENTS.

The brilliant achievements of the Jap
anese. on land and sea, have commanded
the admiration of the world, but with
no intention of disparaging their valor,
it is of record that many of the thrill
ing deeds of the Confederates have not
yet been surpassed by the Japs. For
instance, while Togo has annihilated the
Russian navy in one battle, Raphael
Semmes swept the sea of Yankee ships
and entailed on the North commercial
loss aggregating at least, if not more,
than the value of the Russian navy
Semmes had only one ship, but he was
a terror to the Yankees, who pursued
him relentlessly until his ship, the Ala
barna, in desperate encounter was
sunk by the Kersearge, which had every
advantage in armament and men.

Irish peasant lad 80 years ago who
lived starved kind of existence He
confesses that though his stomach was
often empty, his head never was. He
speaks of those Starving beautiful
days that have made such wonderful
foreground for his present success. He
began in a small way as critic of
books then he took up music. pictures
next attracted his attention, and finally
he wrote of the drama under his initials
And finally the world began to ask,
who is G. B. 81"
The initials were found signed to
Socialistic pamphlets of uncommon
force. Oh billboard announcements,
where all interested were informed that
George Barnard Shaw would address a
meeting in Hyde Park. next Sunday.

The name began to irritate peoples
nerves. Reputable citizens clustered
when they saw the report of peculiar
ly audacious speech. You can never
tell they said, what such man will
do This gave Shaw the cue for his
comedy, You Can Never TELL
One of the stories about Shaw S
struggling days-perhaps his own in
ventlon-is that he first drew upon him
the eyes of the London public by bang
ing drum and footing a trumpet from
a cart. Attract attention he must and
did. A true Irishnlan, and a true wag
and wit.
His novels, four in number, appeared
at irregular intervals in the magazines;
they are "The Irregular Knot" ''Cashel
Byron's Profession An Unsocial So
cialist,' and Love Among Artists"
His plays he has divided into two
groups. The pleasant plays, which en-
brace You Can Never Tell,' Arms
and the Man. "Caniida." and The
Man of Destiny The unpleasant plays
embrace "Widowen's Houses" Il Can't
Abide, and The Philanders.' His
Caesar and Cleopatra is said to be his
wittiest play
Mr.. Shaw is an idol-breaker, but he
is bright, subtle, witty ard genial and
