IN MEMORY OF GEN. MART GARY
Col. j. G. Stribling Says the State
Should Erect q Shaft.
(Anderson Mail.)

NAHueISOu MALL
Col. j. G. Stribling, of Pendleton,
has sent the following to the Daily
Mail office with the request that it
be published:
Whenever the name of Gen. Mart
Gary and the Red Shirts Of 1876 are
mentioned, the Red Shirt men and
veterans of Gary's Brigade of.cavalry
are moved to stand up, hats off, and
give three long rebel yells in honor
or that grand old fighter, Gen. Mart
Gary, the unconquerable bald eagle"
OF Edgefeld
The survivors of his famous bri-
gade are scattered over the State,
some In Anderson and other adjoin-
Ing counties, and l believe they are a
unit In the opinion of Governor
Blease that South Carolina never
gave Gen. Gary what she owed him
while he lived and that we should
now chisel his memory in mar bic,
and line him up among our bravest
Of the brave leaders, where he be-
longs.
No doubt there are many survivors
or the Seventh Cavalry, known AS
"Gary's Hyenas," who can call to
mind one occasion just before d des-
perate charge into the enemys lines
Wheh zen. Gary pressed along the
line of the Seventh swapping his fiery
eyes, and said, Boys, can take
this regiment Of 'Hyenas' and clean
out Cortes' brigade. We are all hun
cry and we must cut through these
blue jackets and fetch in Gen. Cortes'
wagon train"
All knew from experience that
'Old Mart could do it and that he
would stand by his men in the thick
est O.. the fighting, same as he did
IN the desperate struggle in redeem
ing our State in 1876.
OF the followers of Gen. Mart Gary
In his famous brigade there are to-
day living in Oconee John D. Werner,
John d.. Perry, and T.. A. Lewis, of
Walhalla, and John w. Shelor and
David Stribling, of the county. Mr..
Stribling, in writing to a friend in
Walhalla In regard to the above ar
ticle. recalls that Billy and Jim
Mauldin, Billy and jim Doyle, Ben
Abbott, Billy Penny, Larkin Cleve-
land, and many other former citizens
OF Oconee, who. have since moved
away, were connected with this bri-
gade, "all Of whom," he remarks
will be glad to know that their old
leader, Mart Gary, has not been for

National House Appropriatcs One
3 Million for Drainage Purposes.

Washington, Feb. 1I.-When the
House to-day adopted an amendment
to the agricultural appropriation bill
pushed by Congressman Edwards, Of
Georgia, and other Southern mem
bers, to appropriate $1,000,O00 for
the purpose Of extending drainage in
vestigations, it took long step in
reclaiming thousands of acres of
land which are now valueless.
Florida has 19,SO0,000 acres which
may be drained; Georgia, 2,7OO, 900;
North Carolina, 2,74S,000; South
Carolina, 3,122,O00, and Virginia
100000. With the extra money that
will soon become available on account

Appropriation Bill Passed.

The House to-day passed the agri-
cultural appropriation bill, carrying
an appropriation OF about $15,50O,-
600 for the operations OF the depart-
ment OF agriculture for the next fiscal
year.
An attempt was made by Represen-
tative Edwards, OF Georgia, to amend
the provision appropriating $4,000
for the cultivation Of swamp lands
so as to include an authorization of
the department to survey the swamps.
He wanted the $4,000 increased to
S2o0,O00. BY general agreement the
$4,000 appropriation was increased
to 100000,

FRIDAY. MAY 20. 1911.
They Will Learn
Some Day.

The south has been a puzzle to Re-
publican party leaders. It is still
puzzle to them. Roosevelt felt sure
that he had broken the solid south"
when he visited the southern people
and was given such an enthusiastic
welcome He appointed few Demo-
Gratis, and near Democrats to import
ant positions and thought the battle
was won. He awoke later.
President Taft had similar attack
He came to the south; he played golf;
he ate the Georgia 'possums. and was
treated like one of us. He patted him
self on the head and said, Il did It,"
But to add clincher to his work he
had to get secretary of war from the
ranks of southern Democrats.
The secretary has resigned and his
place is taken by one Of Teddy's own
making-and Teddy, by the way. seems
70 have abandoned all of his pro-
gressive ideas and become one Of the
''old guard" once more.
President Taft cried aloud against
the solidity Of any one section for a
fell on stony ground, but in his own
fertile fields they sprang up and his
advice has been taken. In Republican
strongholds Democracy is springing up
in many instances.
More than likely the public will
never know why Mr.. Dickinson re-
signed. We can only imagine. but the
reasonable conclusion is that President
sTaft has found that Mr.. Dickinson
Ican't do anything to help his cause
next year, and that Mr.. Stimson might
be able to bring the party in New York
together again. And then it might be
very embarrassing to have a near
Democrat in the cabinet next year
when the campaign is in progress.
Maybe he would want to send the cab
met officers out to make speeches and
Mr.. Dickinson might balk at making
Republican speeches.
The solidity sof the south has con-
tributed to large extent to the spread
of Democratic ideas everywhere. Peo-
always been steadfast to the doctrines
of Democracy. and have investigated
these doctrines and have found that
they are right.
We do not believe that any more
bats will be handed out by the Ret
publicans in the form of federal ap-
,pointments. They have learned that ii
does not help their cause. They are
beginning to learn that hospitality
does not mean a change of heart and
that they must give the south up as a
hopeless task.

The Deep Water City
Did It's Part.

This little talk is not intended for
the uniformed, but for those who may
have read the Jacksonville Metropolis.
1t evidently does not keep up with the
happenings Of the state or. worse still,
wants to make the people of Pensacola
appear as a cheap crowd. In its Sat-
urday issue it says:
A canvass OF the state, Jacksonville
excepted, for the battleship Florida
silver service fund, resulted in the COL
lection of only $500. Evidently the
people Of Florida are not enthusiastic
about this project.-Tampa Tribune
The Jacksonville spirit" can be relied
upon to produce the remaining 81, 500,
and the burden will fall heavier on
Jacksonville than on the entire state
Considering the fact that the service
will be presented In Pensacola harbor,
the contributions of the Deep Water
City are remarkably liberal, aren't
they? Years will pass before the bat
tleship Florida can reach Jacksonville.
If it should come to a show down we
believe Jacksonville would have pro-
vided the whole ten thousand. Jack
sonville is always liberal when It
comes to doing anything for the state,
but, there are others
When the appointed agent, who
made the trip over the state came to
Pensacola, he remarked upon the lib
crafty of Pensacola people, and his
visit was cut short on account OF COL
lecting the money in a shorter time
than he expected to do It. He said he
could have collected twice the amount
but II was not the intention Of the
committee in charge of the work to al
low one city to contribute more than
ats share. That was why Pensacola
people did not contribute any more.
According to the Tampa Tribune
$500 has been contributed outside OF
jacksonville. AS ten thousand is what
the silver service will cost and the
legislature. has provided sufficient
funds to make up the differences ir
the amount contributed and the ter
thousand, it is a little hard to under
stand why Jacksonville feels called
upon to provide so much.

UnseemIy Action.

unseenIy Action.
The exhibition Of temper furnished
by Senator Flournoy in his insulting
attack upon the governor was very
unseemly uncalled for and undignified.
A harsher term might legitimately be
applied to 1t, for he took advantage of
his. and the governors, position to
insult the latter in such a manenr as
would have been personally resented
had not the official positions of the
parties rendered such a thing impos-
sible. The governor certainly had the
right to communicate with the legisla-
ture in the manner chosen by him; in
fact, the constitution and laws of the
state make it his duty to do so; and
though at times the matter of the
chief executives communication may
seem ill-conceived, and even NONSENSE
cal, the position whence it emanates
entities it to respectful consideration.
We have not always agreed with the
governor in his recommendations to
the legislature; but we, in common
with others, have given him credit for
honesty and good intentions. What
ever may be thought of his policies
and his manner of magnifying the i'm
portance of his functions in the matter
Of legislation, none can deny that he

Florida History.

Duplicate bills have been introduced
in both houses of the legislature MAX
ing it the duty of the governor to
complete the historical archives of the
state by copying from the archives in
Washington all matters relating to the
history of the state and her people"
which may be found in the files or
records of any of the national depart
ments or offices and which may be of
sufficient interest or value; and to
this end to employ some suitable per
son, of experience in work of that
kind.
This bill embodies the correct idea.
In order that our state should assume
her rightful place in history it is es
sential that her story should be re-
liably written, completely and in de-
tail, which has never yet been done.
One reason for the meager mention
of Florida in the national annals is
the paucity of material available for
reliable and complete narrative.
Historians had rather restrict their
stories than to base them upon INSULT
cient or untrustworthy material; and
they will not bestow upon our state
the space and attention she merits I'M
til her record is made complete and
easily accessible.
We need these records too for the
correction of error. By reason of the
lack of data false statements have
crept in. and by repetition without
contradiction have been multiplied in
number and increased in importance
until now, in many parts, Florida's
history needs to be rewritten.
Private individuals seeking mate
rails have shrunk from the gigantic
task of searching through the count
less volumes in which these materials
have heretofore been hidden, and the
result has been the brevity and unre-
liability Of existing histories.
AS the effect of the adoption Of this
act there would be a reliable and
compast compilation of all valuable
and applicable material and its placing
in the proper office in the state CAPT
toll, where it would be easily accessible
to all who might desire to consult it.
In the interest of a complete MARIA
tive and trustworthy statement of the
history of our state, we hope the bill
may pass.-Tampa Times.
