a Pledge TO the South.

The South is land that has known
sorrows; it is a land that has broken
the ashen crust and moistened it with
it's tears; land SCARED and ,,riven by
the plowshare of war and billowed
with the graves of her dead: but a
land of legend, land of song, land
of hallowed and heroic memories.
To that land every drop of my blood !;
every fiber Of my being, every pulsa-
ton of my heart is consecrated for
ever.
I was born of her womb; I was
nurtured at her breast, and when my
last hour shall come, pray God that
I may be pillowed upon her bosom
and rocked in sleep within her tender
and encircling arms.-Edward Ward
Carmack.
