Assures Annual Festival.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, May 1.-The pa- tronage given the Little Rock Music Festival last week assures for Arkansas an annual week of music second to none. Although the promoters of the enterprise were forced to guarantee about $5,000 to artists who were to ap- pear on the program, the at- tendance was so large that a neat sum remains in the treas ury to start a greater festival for next year.
 The festival of 1913 was a nightmare. A deficit was creat- ed which was finally cared for by public spirited citizens, and the same citizens came forward to make up the guarantee for this year. Their faith in the

Monument To Confederate Dead

3VAVAt&AAs+Ahcs 4 v GcAtA SASA dtC H<1U More talk about the Confeder-
 ate monument. Talk about pro-
 gress. You go all over the South
 and you will see monuments to
 the old Confederates in parks, in
 court house yards Large mag nificent ones--to show the South
 honors her Confederate dead. You never see a town, a large one, with no Confederate monu- ment, and even our neighboring county has one at Batesville, and at Little Rock the monument to the women of 1861 to 1865 which is proper and right. You have your school orations on Lees birthday, and all speak of our great general. Who made Lee such an name, such a hero in military life? Who made Gen. eral Joseph E. Johnson or Albert Sidney Johnson, or Bragg, or Hardee, or Cleburne, the great est major general in the Vest ern army, who led the fight at Murfreesboro, on the left, and drove the enemy five miles, who led the men into action, wading Chicamauga creek and at 8 double quick and fought like a hero for two days, where there were 10000 killed and wounded in two days, who drove the ex- treme right at Missionary Ridge. We fought four columns who assisted him? Look at the mark CTS there today; they will show you who with his one division saved the Bragg army at Ring gold Gap. He fought 10000 of the enemy. Read his report of the battle; you will SC how he placed his men and how he men, tions Company c, First Arkan- sas Regiment When before the assault he told his men they were to save Bragg's army. Who did this work? Arkansas, boys, old Jacksonport. Boys, Jackson county was in the line ready to do or die and read his history from Dalton to Atlanta. And in this campaign did his men ever flicker? No, Arkansas troops stayed to the last and why did Johnson put him in such peril ous places? He knew his men and Cleburne knew his men. Read his history and you will see he says who made his com mand so invincible. So men make generals. .-..a.,e
 And at Franklin, said to be one of the bloodiest in 500 years, for the men engaged and for the time engaged. It was an awful battle, and when he was order ed to take the impregnable breastworks, hear his last words to his men, who alyaws stayed straight to the front and front line. He loved his men; they loved him and did what he or dered. He says, Men, we are to take these breast works. It is against my judg- ment, but we will try. Forward Company c was i'll this line and they followed their leaders and red spots of blood gathered where he fell.
 I was over this old battle last year. I had never been over it since the awful bat tie, forty years ago. I hired a rig and went over it and the of the comrades who fell left me sore at heart.
 I went to Franklin and notic- ed lots of old Confederates in town l went to a crowd of them and said, What are so many of you old guys doing here?"
 They looked at my badge, and

The men, women and children cover ed the graves with the flowers. Here was lovely woman laying flowers over our dead and per- haps they had died away from home mother not there to smooth their brows, kiss their dying lips or pray for them, but these other women did all for them they could and the Daugh- ters of the Confederacy-noble women! May God bless them to keep in memory such brave heroes of the past. And then II thought of our schools taking General Lees Days and young people make speeches about such characters and here we are with not a mark or mon- ument of our own dead Confed- crates, when if you will go over these places you will think of the sons and brothers you fur nished who did just as much as Generals Lee, Johnson, Bragg or Cleburne-they sacrificed more.
 So now my dear citizens, let's build a monument to honor our dead, who are resting in un- marked graves, so when other towns are remembering their dead we can also lay flowers on cur own monument.
 Now I wrote a book (not my book, but history of Jackson county boys, one hundred and fifty strong) telling of your own brave men, and the Daughters of the Confederacy of our own towns are having 300 printed to sell at One Dollar each, the pro- fits to go to the building of this monument, so please buy one from them and you will read a true history of a private-what he saw, what he thought and what he did You read maga- zines and stories in newspapers, but here is a history of one com pany from old Jackson County, and by one of your own people.
 MT. Henderson loaned one to an old Confederate in Tennessee who was in the same campaign from Dalton to Atlanta, and he told Henderson to hug that old man when he got back home for he had certainly told the truth. l got letter from a Yankee in New Mexico who was on the Dalton route. He wrote me he wanted to buy one and said he enjoyed it, as it contained the truth. I get nothing out of the book but I want my young peo- pie to inform themselves about their own history. We will be around next week and do hope you will all subscribe literally.
 And now I will talk no more through the paper, but~you all must help now.
 This Company c, First Ark ansas Regiment, left Jackson port with 15o men, fifty-three years ago on the 5th day of May returning with only 20 men. So their bodies sleep on many many battlefields. Some died with sickness, others were kill ed at their post of duty, so why not at least build a monument 10 the memory of our own dead.

5(By GATED Pfess)

Washington April 22.-HIt was e.
decided surprise to most, obsefSefs
here to-day that there was any con-
certed objection to tho passage of a
resolution approving the course Of
President Wilson after he had read his
address on the Mexican situation.
OF the handful of Democratic votes
against the resolution in the House not
one was cast by Carolinian or q
Geoegisa, and the cniy three mega
tive votes from the South came from
the Mississippi delegation. Many
Democrats who feel that the Adrniflis-
tration's Mexican policy was wrong
q: the sta-s feel also the: this !s &C
time to argue that point. and that the
only thing in such a crisis Is to sup
port the President.
John Lind said here to-day In con-
versation with friend that within
ninety days after the passage OF the
resolution asked for by the President
there would be peace in Mexico. This
was in line with the statement Of Rep
resentative Lenroot of Wisconsin, q
Bull Moose, that he. voted, for the fe5o-
luton because he believed 1t meant
peace, not war.
