AN INCIDENT

in the south After "The War Between
 the States"
 The history of the South from 1865 to 1876 is one of Yankee military oppres- sion and civil tyranny, and 1t is almost impossible to form an adequate idea of the turmoil and agitation of the dis tracted and down-trodden South. It was divided into five military districts, governed by Generals appointed by the President, and who were intrusted with almost absolute power. The elections for State Conventions and Legislatures passed at once into the hands of negroes and the soldiers in the Federal garri- sons The white Southerner was com pletely disfranchised, unless he took the iron clad" oath which he scorned to do All these evils were greatly in- creased by the Freedman's Bureau in it's officious interference into all depart ments of social and domestic life. The negroes were encouraged in every man. ner of insolence to their former mas ters. Those were dark, dark days. and the people of Alabama. really suffered more than in the four years of bloody war. Especially was this the case in what is called The Black Belt" The negro population was very dense, and military posts were established at in- tervals of twenty or twenty-five miles. There was one at Greensborough, and the blacks were impudent beyond en- durance.
 One day MT. Tude Cowan resented an insolent remark made to him by ne- gro. Immediately a Yankee officer stepped up to MT. Cowan and slapped him in the face. The young man drew his pistol and killed the officer. then rushed into an office, by which he was standing, and hid himself in little. dark closet under the old-fashioned stair-steps. In less than thirty min utes the streets were filled with black, sursing mass of bowling ne- groes, headed by the Yankees. search ing for him. Two of the young mans friends, by the dim light of candle in that little dark "cuddy hole" of closet shaved off his mustache, dls- guised him completely and then placing them, boldly walked out Into the mob and unrecognized went the whole length of the town to a strip of woods where young Cowan made his escape. The infuriated mob soon discovered this, and in retaliation, the negroes entered into every white mans house and seiz- ed every gun and pistol, thus placing the whites at their mercy. They also went to young Cowan' home dragged intended to keep him as a hostage and would certainly hang him if his broth CT did not return. There is long street in Greensborough. terminating at a high hill, on the summit of which Is built handsome. old-fashioned house. Directly in front of this house, in view of the whole town, tall gall lows was erected, for the execution of the young boy. In view of the fearful tragedy impending, the deepest gloom and despair settled down over the whole community It was perfectly helpless to render any aid to avert the atroeious

 All business having been finished, we turned with anticipation of pleasure to the literary program and enjoyed the exultant papers which had been care fully prepared by Mrs. w. R. Maxwell. From Corinth to Murfreesboro," and by Mrs. Bradford on the Battle or Chancellorsville."
 Our monthly literary programs are truly an educational feature, and we only regretted that the whole Chapter was not present.
 After a pleasant meeting, we ad- journed to meet the first Wednesday In April. Gabriella Watts Recording Secretary. March 21. 1906.
 A called meeting of the Cradle of Confederacy Chapter was held at the Library in response to a communica- ton from Mrs. Lawrence of Union Springs. to select delegates for the State Convention to be held in May. The following ladies were elected: Delegates, Mrs. J. M. Carmichael, Mrs. Jessie T. Lamar, Mrs W. L. Durr, Mrs. H. P. Tresslar Miss Mamie Bethea, Mrs. w. L. Brock, Mrs. Robert M. Collins Mrs. Eberhardt, Mrs. c. Morgan Morris, Miss Gabriella Watts; alternates, Mss Annie Bell. Mrs Harris Gunter Mrs. Mary V. Gesner. Mrs. Albert Taylor, Miss Bettie Bell, Mrs. M. P. Watt. Mrs. P A. Travis, Mrs. Clifford Lanier, Mrs. Herbert Battle. Mrs. c. J. Campbell.
 Mrs Watt made a motion to send our full number of delegates, which was carried. being ten delegates, represent ing 23S members Mrs. Lanier made a motion that the President be empow- cred to make appointments without a m among the delegates, which was car ried.
 Important discussions on the import ant questions that are expected to come up at the convention were indulged in. Then the meeting adjourned.

crime. By chance, soma one remem- bered that General Marsh. who was sta- toned at a Post" about fifteen miles away, was a Mason. The news soon spread and the Masons of the town despatched a messenger to this oficer, and of course we do not know by what means 1t was arranged. but 1t was soon understood that if $9,000 was paid. the boy would be set free.
 Great was the poverty of our people after the war, but there were some who had little hoards of money hid away and the sum exacted was raised and sent It was never known for what purpose it was demanded. unless 1t was used in buying of the soldiers. This transaction was not generally known and promptly at the appointed hour, the negro mob placed halter around the young victims neck, drag ged him through the streets leading to the gallows. A more pathetic spectacle was never witnessed than that of the gray-haired father, walking by his son and exhorting him ito die like man" Just as the boy was ascending the scaf- fold. the messenger. riding furiously, arrived with the paper containing his release. Thus was his young life saved.
 Years after, pood Tude Cowan came nome, physlcai Wreck, anu nieu, put Tom Cowan. our young hero. prospered and finally became the proprietor of the Florence Hotel, Birmingham. Sew eral years ago, General Sherman made tour of the South and stopped at "the Florence" Soon after his arrivel, a committee composed of negroes waited upon the Federal General! No sooner did Mir Cowan hear of it than he marched into the parlor and indignant ly ordered General Sherman and his colored friends out of his house. They stayed not on the order of their go ing, but went at once. The news- papers, North and South, published ac- counts of 1t.

 After reading the Treasurer's report by request of the President. an outline sketch of the Chapter was read by Mrs. Humes. In this sketch, which was based upon the minutes covering ten years, It was seen that when this Chap ter was organized at its first meeting, 1t was resolved that the building of a Confederate monument and decoration of the soldiers graves should be the future work of he Chapter.
 This work having been aceompiisned, the Chapter will now enter upon a new and equally important field of labor
 A letter was read from Mrs. Martha S. Geilow, President-General of the Southern Industrial Educational Asso< citation, making a strong appeal 70 every Chapter of the U. D. C., ip the United States to join in this grea. mis- sion work she Is undertaking .or the removal of the stigma ci illiteracy from the white people of the South" Mrs. Geilow goes on to say: Tt is well that we have bu.t monuments to our noble dead; it is we'll that we have organized to take care of our helpless veterans and lay flowers on those at rest, but a grea Ger mission yet awaits us, greatrr monument than one of stone anf granite yet to be built as the memorial work of the men and women of the South--the memorial of edura- tion to our uneducated whites" Mrs. cilow adds. What good will monu- ments to our ancestors be if our South land is to become a land of educated blacks and uneducated whites? A con- dition not at all improbable when we compare what IS being done for the blacks.
 The Huntsville Chapter unanimously resolved to become an auxiliary in this mission work and will invite Mrs. Gie- low to visit Huntsville in May and speak on the subject of this important work which she is leading.
 This Chapter has also decided to take up course of study in United States history. At the next monthly meeting on May 6. the Historian of the Chapter, Mrs. Annie Robertson, will

 Among the emigrants from South Carolina to the new lands of East Ala bama came family bringing with them that spirit of independence and bravery which has always been a marked char acteristic of South Caroliniaps.
