RANDOLPH.
A Mistaken Policy.

The people of Randolph will be sub

which now seems to thcratcn them,
from the proposed site for Il new
schOolhOuSc, can be avcrtcd.
School houses for the rising genera
ton are necessary and must be provid-

many unpleasant surroundings, is not
desirable, and location Is usually sell

cipal public street.
1t is inconccivablc in this age, when
all cities ana towns are turning their
attention to the Improvement and
adornmcnt Of their lawns and streets,
that the most attractive and beautiful
feature of the pleasant little village
off Randolph should be desecrated for
such a purpose.
To any one. whose privilege it is to
occasionally pass these beautiful lawns,
dotted by stately Gins which mark Il
ccntury's growth and that now adorn

that such q sacrifice should be made.

OLD CANNON RETURNED.
Ladies' Defender" Made in 1865,
Given BY Georgia Women.

Columbus, Ga, owns one Of the most
historic and interesting cannons used
by the Confcder2tcs, a cannon which
was recovered ana brought back to its
home more than thirty-ninc years
after the roar of battle had ceased and
peace had been declared. ,'sgrN
THE Ladies' Defender" for that Is
its name, was cast at the ordnance
works here in 1868, and was made
from brass furnished by the women of
the city. There are women still living
who had hand in contributing brass
doorknobs, candlesticks, andirons Or
firedogs, dinner bells. etc. In a num-
Der Of instances they robbed their
homes Of necessary brass articles in
order that they might aid in furnish
ing material for the cannon. These
articles of brass were melted up and
mixed with copper and tin I" form a
bronze metal suitable for the gun.
Through the press appeals had gone
out asking contributions Of this
character. and there was willing and
ready response by the women of the
city, for they realized III" extreme
scarcity of the right kind of material
for gun making in the South.
1t was unfortunate for the South
that she had depended, and has con-
tinued 50 to do until within the last
two decades, on the North for agri-
cultural implements, guns and ammu-
milton, carriages and wagons. rolling
stock and engines for her railroads, as
we'll as pretty nearly everything else
save agricultural products. In 1862
the South was in the midst of a fierce
war, and with little chance for maxi Z
ing any of the things so urgently
needed. Dire necessity forced her
people to make an effort to, supply the
demand for shooting irons,'' and after
n few months this city, as well as
others, had demonstrated that these
could be made. Some of these guns
became famous as the most accurate
for fire, the most durable and de-
structivc of any made, and are today
relics of the best workmanship in that
line of either side in the war. Armed
with these guns, the Confederate
artillcrymcn became noted for the
accuracy and deadiiness of their fire,
and they were dreaded by the enemy
whenever met. The federal govrnmnt.
with all its money. material and skilled
worknicn. did not turn out better guns.
Through long years a persistent
search was made for the Ladies'
Defender" and finally through the
efforts Of l.. ii. ChappcIl the old
cannon was located in the home of the
crstwhilc enemy. 1t required no
pleading, no money, TO secure ii again,
for with the true spirit of friendship
and manhood it was willingly restored
to those who had during all these
years held ii SO dear. 1t now STANDS
in ono of the beautiful parks of the
city q sacred relic of those bitter days.
