Our SchOOl-One Class VS..
Another.

The old school bell chimes out
come" and as we look forth
and see the groups of boys and
girls on their way to school, we
note some whose elastic step
and cheerful faces are highly
indicative of the soul and mind,
and all such will prove a bless
ing to themselves, their teach
ers and their school. Their ac-
tlons show their anxiety for
work, their lessons will be per-
fectly prepared; their recita-
tions well given and they will
attain to that round on the lad
der of fame and learning called
success. They will master all
knotty problems, not only in
school but in life. They will not
require Furnishing in order to
teach them the necessity of get
ting their lessons. They study
because they love to; are indus
trious and energetic from prin-
ciple; their life will be success.
Following comes another
group of boys whose tagging
steps and sullen faces show
that the sound of the bell graf
ed harshly upon their ears.
These boys will prove unruly,
unkind and, unlike the other
class named, will take but little
interest in their work, and at
the end of the year, in spite of
a teachers earnest efforts in
their behalf, will be but little
farther advanced than in the
beginning.
We need not say what the re-
suit will be in the latter class.
but to these boys parents we
wish to say, try to cultivate in
their minds love for the school
and school work. See to it that
they are in school every day;
that their report cards show a
good grade or know why such
is not the case. In other words
see if you can't control your
boys and not depend upon the
teacher to do it.-Qaffney Led
ger.

ALBERT SIDNEY JOHNSON

The following is the epitaph
on the monument of Albert
Sydney Johnson:
In MemOriam.
Behind this stone is laid
For season
Albert Sydney Johnson
A General of the Confederate
States who fell at Shiloh,
Tennessee, on the 9Th
day of April, A.
= d. 1862.
: A man tried in many high
offices and critical enter
prises
And found faithful in all.
His life was one long sacrifice
of interest to conscience
And that life on a woeful Sab
bath did he yield as holo-
caust to his country's need.
Not wholly understood was he
while he lived,
But in his death his greatness
stands confessed.
In a peoples tears.
Resolute, moderate, clear of
envy,
Yet not wanting in finer am
bition
Which makes men great and
pure.
In honor, impregnable
In simplicity, sublime,
No country's e'er had truer
son, no cause a nobler
champion,
No people a bolder defender,
no principle a purer victim
Than the dead soldier
Who sleeps here.
The cause for which he perish
The people for whom he fought
are crushed,
The hopes in which he trusted
are shattered,
The flag he loved
Guides no more the charging
lines,
But his fame,
Consigned to the keeping of
that time
Which happily is not so much
the tomb of Virtue as its
shrine
Shall in years to come, fire
modest worth to nobler ends.
In honor, now, our great chief
tain rests,
A breaved people mourn him
Three commonwealths proudly
claim him
And history shall cherish him
among those choicer spirits
Who holding their consciences
unmixed with blame
~ Have been in all conjunctures
: True to themselves, their coun-
try and their God.

LEE AND JACKSON
ARE EULOG!zED BY
TENNESSEE ORATOR
Congressman Garret Calls Chief
of Confederate Army a
Christian Hero.

Declaring il WAS infinitely better that
the South should have fought the civil
war and lost than not to have had the
fundamental questions settled which
brought on the war, Congressman Gar
rett Of Tennessee infused the greatest
enthusiasm into the audience OF South
erners, who celebrated the 106th anni-
versary of the birth of Gen. Robert +.
Lee last night in the Confederate Men,
orial Home. The celebration was also in
honor of the eighty-ninth birthday of
Stonewall Jackson.
The celebration was given under the
auspices of United Confederate Veter-
ans Camp No. Ill. which had invited
all kindred organizations OF Washington
to be present. Most OF them responded
with large delegations.
Congressman Garrett stated that all
historians were of the opinion that Gen.
eral Lee was one of the greatest SOL
diers of any age, and yet, had Stonewall
jackson had the opportunities which
We're given Lee there is no doubt but
that he would have made a record al
most as great. No two military men in
history have left a fame more splendid
and no two We're ever possessed of more
unduestioned Christian courage than the
two great Confederates.
Magnus s. Thompson presided over
the meeting. which was opened with
prayer b. the Rev. T. Hubert Jones.
Following the prayer the orator of the
evening was introduced by Mayor T.. w.
Hungerford. A musical program was
also rendered.
