during the Southern Civil War.
His name was Harry Gilmore.

They were anxious that the
people should know and keep
in mind, the very important
fact that they were southern
gentlemen, (most OF them We're
from over the Missouri river in

fact. This foolish and faIso no.
ton was spreading wider and
wider rs time passed, ana the
two sections of the country
were rapidly becoming more
estranged and hostile, and the
absurd cheap John exhibitions
indicated, were the natural eff
fects Of such a cause.
In another day, and under an
other social order not unlike
that in vogue in the southern
states in ante-bellum days, one
of the privileged classes who
had killed another OF the class
of no privilege, had the lawful
right To be tried for the offense
by Il jury of his peers, that is. a
jury composed OF his class, 10
the exclusion of al others.
Such right did not exist IN the
south by express statute law,
but II did by custom mOreuai-
versally observed and enforced,
than any law eTet was.
There came d test OF personal
courage and fighting qualities
among the people of the two
sections, and it was found that
there were Just as good men ON
one side as ON the other, and all
controversy ON that head ceased
long ago, and the question of
