not long since, the subject up for dis

Then a man who had long been a
prominent and successful teacher,
who was then county school COM
missioner, and who was a native Geor-
gian, got up and said: II do not
teach it. I think that period of our
history would be best forgotten. New

town one day not long after the war
and saw the Stars and Stripes flung

deplore the all-too-prevalent senti-
ment that prompted them. The idea
that any Southerner could be
ashamed Of, could wish forgotten,
that inspiring story of sublime cour-
age, manly independence, genuine pa
triotism, unfaltering devotion to du-
ty. What true man or woman of
the South, or any other section, does
not gladly honor these men of the CO.'S
who fought with an unconquerable
spirit and courage that won them
the admiration of the world, for
home, for country, for a right guar

love every part of our country
every foot Of it, from the Great
Lakes to the Gulf Of Mexico, from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, and I
never catch a glimpse Of the Stars
and Stripes but that [ feel thrill of
patriotic pride. But can not the
South-our own sunny land-be very,
very dear to us without disparage-
ment to other sections? We don't
have to love the North any less be-
cause we love the South so much.
To me the story Of the South up
to and during the war between the
states is as glorious a heritage of
honor, of real manhood and woman
hood, of courage and loyalty and be-
roic sacrifice as any people ever be-
queathed to those who came after
them.
ehor we not lovingly and rever-
emily teach this story to the boys and
girls, to the men and women of our
land-this story of glorious past 2
ga past which held all that was best
and noblest Of the South, an age and
condition which never had it's like
on earth before, and which can never
be repeated "a past that ought to
be sacred to the heart of every South
ern man and woman
Is it not noble work to do
to perpetuate the memory and spirit
and traditions of the Old South?
Let us forgive-we have forgiv-
en-but let us never forget!

was surprised and I was indignant.
So | stood up and said that the South
was fighting for principle, that their
country was invaded, their homes
threatened, their honor at stake;
that the lives of Lee and jackson
and Stephens and Davis and every
other hero who offered his life for his
country and for the right as he I'M
derstood it, ought to be an inspira-
ton to us, and that [ expected to so

And then somebody said that that

down and keep mum-with so much
on my mind that [ wanted to say.
Last Memorial Day I was in At
lanta, and as the great Memorial
Day parade passed along the streets
of that city gentleman, a Southern
er and a well-educated, cultured man,
said to me, ''This is all foolish
ness. The sooner the South forgets
all about it the better"
One day I asked a lovable, intelli-
gent literary woman, one who has an
editorial position on prominent
Georgia paper, whether she had read
Bethany" She replied, emo, Life
is too short for me to take time to
read such books as Bethany and
the 'Clansman. There is no use in
trying to keep up the old fuss Let
US forgive and forget :" I then put
myself in the give-you-a-little-infor-
nation line and told her that she
had received wrong impression as
to the purpose Of those books-that
they were not written to open old
wounds, not in any spirit of unfriend-
illness toward the North, but that
justice might be done to the South
that the present and coming genera
tions might know more Of the truth
as to the South s position in those
crucial days.

I'm very hopeful, myself, and you

We were shaken with weeping.
Sister May! A surgeons knife-or

such horrors. She had been an in
valid, true, since that terrible rail

in her negligee frocks, her mind so
bright and sparkling. She had just

men her worshippers and even arous-

women.

had swept over us like a torrent,
when my tear-dimmed eyes fell upon

Elf it were not for regret for the
past, and fear for the future, the

Children Must go to School.

Parents are liable to arrest and
punishment by fine and imprison-
ment if they do not send their
children to school throughout the

drastic than it was formerly.

charged with the duty of sending
every child between the ages of 6
and IA, and all between IA and 16
who are not regularly engaged in
some useful employment, to school.
Children who are physically unfit
must exhibit to the truant officer a
certificate of a competent physician.
The penalty imposed on parents
for neglecting to send their child
rem to school is fine of So to S25;
2 to 10 days in the city or county
Jail, or both fine and Jail sentence.
Teachers, principals, and all
school officers are charged by the
new law under penalty of a fine,
with reporting to the truant officer
all information they have regarding
any violation of the school law, and
all cases of children who do not at
tend school. Teachers who fail to
obey the law in these respects may
be fined from So to $40 for each
ofiiense.

DR.. j. II. Irvine was shot and in
stantly killed at Tallman, Linn
county, Tuesday morning. His
sons version of the affair is that
himself and father had returned
from hunting the previous evening,
the elder Irvine throwing his gun in
the wagon on some sacks in the
barn, other sacks being thrown over
it. This fact was then unknown to
the boy, and when they went to the
barn Tuesday morning he pulled
some of the sacks from the wagon
bed, thereby discharging the gun,
the bullet going through his fathers
heart, causing instant death. The
victim is the man who while acting
as deputy sheriff shot and killed
Linn Bowers, a well known char
acter, at Albany in the early 70's.

voluminous blue prints, F. A.
Rucker and j. B. Pope, contractors
and engineers of the Southern Paci-
fic railroad, left Wednesday, morn
ing on special train over the Cor
wallis & Eastern for Detroit. They
were accompanied by Mr.. Walsh of
the @. & e. They intend to go
over the projected route of the C.
& E. across the mountains and
carefully inspect the line. The sur
vey recently completed by the party
of engineers over the projected route
will again be carefully gone over
and further details of the route
planned.
While Messrs. Rucker and Pope
were reticent as to their exact plans
they intimated that force of men
would follow them to the end of
the line within a few days and some
construction work done. They re-
fused to say whether they knew
that the work of extending the line
eastward would commence at once
or later. From the remarks, how
ever, which they made it is assumed
that some construction work at least
will be done before winter sets in.
1t is believed that early in the
spring active eXtention operations
from Detroit eastward will start.
That the Southern Pacific officials
have definately decided to choose
