the Civil War are now friends: their
feelings, convictions and interests are
in such harmony on questions of ma
tional import that they realize they
are all American.
Vanishing remembrance of the anger
of the past and uniting their spirit and
pride to the traditions of the nation,
thew have pledged themselves to Its
future power and glory. In the race OF
foreign insults prejudice and hate can
no longer endure among the people OF
the north and south than snow can
last when kissed by the beams OF
warmth of the life-giving sun.
They Sleep Side by Side
And why should It not he so? For
the stars look down through palmetto
and magnolia trees upon graves wherein
sleep the boys who marched ana IousHt

draped in the same soft mantle OF
green. decked with the same wiid now
