A Land of Love And Liberty.

For, it's the same old South, tn,
beautiful land of love and liberty, o
sunshine and sentiment. 'Tis the same
old South, reserected from the dead
with the prints of the nails still in he
hands and scars of the spears still in
her sides-the land of virtue and hon
or, where mOdesty still marks hel
maldens and manly dignity disting-
guishes her sons-where modesty has
her most hallowed temples, and chiv-
airy still liVes-Che home of culture
generosity and gentil1ty-where prin-
cipal still towers above mammon like
the yellow pine above the wiregrass
round its roots, and where skepticism
and fanaticism have not tainted the
tenets of a peoples religion, who no
monarch save the Kings of Kings, no
sovereign but their Gods.
Upon the conclusion of Mr.. Grice's
mastery and eloquent address, the ex-
ercises were closed with the rendition
of an anthem and benediction. Crosses
oflHonor were bestowed upon such vet
Grams as did not possess the coveted
emblem of bronze.
The graves of the sleeping soldiers
dead were strewn with flowers, and
the salute of honor fired by the military
ended the exercises.

once more Americas has mingled her
tears with those of the South, weepinp
over the green mounds of her fallen
heroes, and while scattering garlands
and lmmortelles upon their resting
places has again heard from lips elo-
quent the Oft-repeated story of their
courage and devotion to a cause which,
though lOst,is ever dear to the patriotic
sons and daughters of Dixie.
Another Memorial Day passes, and a
requiem is sung to the six hundred
sleeping heroes in Oakgrove Cemetery,
where Yesterday a devoted people
gathered to accord them honor.
Despite the very threatening aspec t
of the weather at ). O'Clock, promising
heavy rain, the business houses were
closed, as were the public buildings,
and great concourse forme d the i'm
posing pageant to the cemetery.
At the front marched the Americus
Digit Infantry in bright uniforms of
khaki, under command of Captain c.
r. Van Ripper, The military acted as
an escort OfhOnor to Camp Sumter u.

Colonel Walter Maynard of the Gov

10000 more Federal prisoners in the
South than Confederate prisoners the
| in North, 1000 more Confederates than
Yankees died in prison. The figures
should forever shut the mouth of every
slanderer and bring the blush of shame
to his cheek
When the COnfederacy was without
medical supplies or sufficient food for
its own troops, it captured a large
number of the enemy, and proposed
an exchange. 1t was refused. Presi-
dem Davis wrote; 1--WE are unable to
provide for our own men and we can
not take care of yours. Your men
Will suffer unless You exchange"
i do not regard it to my adv antage
to exchange said Grant, and / will
not do it, Once more Davis appealed
and said; The climate has sickened
many of your men, They will die un-
less you take them And it was
months before the United States agreed
to accept even their sick soldiers free
of exchange.
Having more men, Grants policy
was like game of checkers, to swap
down. And he stuck grimly to his
program. And his men, as a natural
result did die by the score, and the
bodies Of 13, 900 of them now lie in the
soil of Sumter county. Then the
North sOothed its conscience for those
graves ofits soldiers by hanging the
officer in charge of the prison. There
were Andersonville horrOrs-twO of
them-the cold blooded policy of
General Grant, which caused the
death of his soldiers, and the hanging
of an innocent man for the murders
which Grant committed.
with the possible exception of
Mrs. Surratt, by whose side in an un-
marked and almost unknown grave
in jail yard at Washington City, the
body of Wirz lies, there was never an
execution under legal form, within
modern Times, more disgracefuI to the
nation which perpetrated ii, than the
sacrifice OF this murdered and mar
tyred man.

LUCK STRIKES LAZY FISHERMAN BUSINESS GOOD IN GROctRIf,


A lazy Americus fisherman had a
run of luck Yesterday out of the ordi-
nary. Catching a small Dream, the
size of two fingers, he strung it at the
end of a cord and hung it in the water
while he stretched himself for a nap,
An hour later, on pulling up his
string ohe.was astonished to find big
jack fish as long as his arm safely
anchored at the end of it, and still
more surprised upon investigation to
find a small catfish inside the jack.
He first thought the quality of the
"balt" had effected his eyesight, but
not so. The catfish had swallowed the
little Dream and had, in turn been
gulped by the jack. And the fisher
man swears to the yarn.

W hat followed in that mighty strug-

where ages cannot ellace or change it.
| After glorious four years struggle
against these odds, during which in
! dependence was often almost secured
when successive Ievies of armies
amounting to nearly three millions OF
men had been hurled against her, the
South, cut off from the world, wasted,
rent and desolate, bruised and bleed

victories to her credit than the foe

quote from a Boston writer when
say:
Few great established nations in
all time have ever exhibited capacity
; and direction in government equal to
; hers, and few have ever won such a
series of brilliant victories as illumine
the annals of her armies, while the
fOrtitude and patience of her people,
and particularly of her noble women
under almost incredible trials and
sutferings, have never been surpassed
in the history of the world
And what trials they were! The
tain
surrender was one to arouse sorrow.

passion and in its infinite pathos, she
stood forth beautiful in her misery, and
proud in her Ge pa 7. When the storm
cradled COnfederacy, born in a mighty
revolution, baptised and bathed in
blood, consecrated by woman's tears
and woman's prayers arose like a
meteor in the Southern skies, flashed
its light to the four corners OF the globe.
and then sank in darkness and defeat,
she fell without disgrace.
The stars and bars of the young
nation, wet with the tears of millions,
crimsOned with the life blood of Stone
wall Jackson, Albert Sidney Johnson,
and host of peerless men who fought
and died for Dixie, was furled in de-
feat, but not in dishonor. There is no
blot nor stain on its Southern, sun
kissed folds.
The Confederate soldier was a gen
tleman. Out of his mortality, others
have put on immortality. From his
riddled and tattered garb was woven
for others the garment Of glory. But
His guiltless glory mocks oblivion's
dust
Tmperishable, for his cause was

policies of the Southern armies, with
the eincendiary and destructive measures

The High Ideal of The South.

Fear not, ye remnants of the@might-
lest army that ever marched to battle
but that your cause will be hOnored
and your memory revered. Dear as
was Dixie to her children in the flush
OF her victory, their love grew tender
as they saw her bathed in tears and
blood. Every grave that dots the hills
OF Virginia is tie to draw her children
to her. Every empty sleeve prompts
a remembrance of loyalty and love.
Her daughters will keep untarnish-
ed the chastity, modestv and loyalty
bequeathed by the wartime matrons
and transmit it in all of its native
purity to her children.
"Her sons will adhere to the states
rights doctrine as preached by Thomas
Jefferson and Jefferson Davis, the two
greatest American presidents. They
will honor the principles for which
their fathers fought. They will live
them cOnscientiously and defend them
openly. They will ever regard as the
highest ideal to which they may aspire,
the Old-time, Southern gentleman,
honorable, generous, chivalrous.
In this heterogeneous nation the
South stands apart as the most Ameri-
can section of it all-the only part in
which foreign ideas and isms have not
tainted the institutions of the state and
the character and minds of the people.
1t is the land to which the eyes of the
country at large turns for the nation $
cOnservatism-the balancing power to
determine the national problems of the
future.

Mr.. GriCe'S Address.

Mr.. Grice's scholarly address was
heard with every evidence of pleasure
on the part of his large audience, and
there were many manifestations of high
by him. Mr. Grice reviewed the princi-
pies for which the South fought and the
conditions which existed at the break
ing out of the war. The right of
secession was discussed and in
stances cited of its recognit on
in the nations history, the great
part the South had played in the found
ing of the nation and its expansion into
great Union was tersely and force
fully told.
Reviewing the oppressive sectional
legislation which came as the fruit of
this agitation, until the South being in
a hopeless minority, found conditions
growing intoIerable, Mr.. Grice CON
tinued:
lone of two courses faced the South;
to stitie within her breast all righteous
emotions of patriotism and self-respect,
and tamely surrender her most sacred
rights within the union, or step with
out and unsheathe her sword in their
defense.
desperate was the die, such as they
only cast
Who venture for a world, and stake
their last
'Rut the spirit which urged the
southern revolutionlsts to battle for
the same rights against the British,
arose with undiminished fervOr in the
sons and daughters.

lie it was that chose delegation
! OF prisoners to go upon parole to
| Washington themselves to plead for
: exchange and release, They went and
and plead in vain. And then, like the
hero ofOld, though bound only in honor,
they returned to prison and to death.
These men declared Wirz kind, care
1 ful of their comfort, and energetic to
relieve the sutferings of the prisoners.
And | would rather believe the lips of
these men. whose devotion to honor
parallels the most heroic myths of the
Roman dami-gOds, than all the indict-
ments Of partisan political authorities,
though backed by the whole Yankee
government.
1--WE have it Gpou the highest testi-
mony that Wirz was offered freedom
| he would give evidence upon which
Jefferson Davis might take his place in
the execution, be he declined the
bribe.
And when the daughters of the
Contederacy shall erect monument
to Wirz and set it in the most public
square in the city of Americus, I hope
all these facts will be craven upon its
face. Sacrifice beauty and symmetri-
cal design if necessary for square area,
but build 1t big enough to hold the
whole correspondence which passed
/ between Confederate and Federal au-
/ thorities in regard to the prisoners at

these facts and figures will be more
eloquent eulogy OF Wirz and the
South than all that poets and eulogists
cOuld write -

Mr.. Grice spoke ofthe heroic rehabil-
itation of the South from the wreckage
of war, paving tribute to the Southern
women for their loyalty, and concluded
as follows:
Let the gracious presence OF such
people be silent but eloquent admo-
milton to us to be true to ourselves.
true to our past, and true to our con-
ditions, never recanting our faith, never
apologizing for our efforts.
That in wealth and success that is
coming to the South, we sacrifice not
the ideals of the past to the commercial
ism Of the present; that we not degener-
