Planning to Sound Taps for the
Veterans

It is going to be hard toget either
the Confederate veterans or those of
the Union armies to set date for
their last great annual meeting, and
it is easy to understand why that is
true. Men who have been going
year after year to reunions or encamr-
ments, meeting in advancing age the
comrades who fought at their side
in the sixties, and who have accumu-
lated rich store of memories Of the
gatherings are not going to agree to
put an end to them until the neces-
sity for it is plain. And they do
not wish to admit that their years
are so many and their old comrades
so few that the time is near at hand
when only a corporaPs guard will
be left to represent each once strong
brigade.
And so the suggestion which is to
be made at the August meeting of
Forrest Camp, U. c. ", at Chat
tanooga that both the great organ
izations Of veterans OF the War Be
tween the States meet in that city
in 1920 and then meet no more is
not going to be carried out without
a great deal of opposition. Many
veterans are not in favor Of setting
a date for their final meeting so
far in advance. They want to wait
and see whether meeting in 1921
or even in a still later year won't
be possible, They object to being
mustered out according to prear-
ranged schedule. They know that
nature will demand heavy toll in
their ranks, and that it viii be in
creasingly heavy with each succeed
ing year, but they prefer to let nat
ure set the date after which no more
reunions and encampments shall be
held, and are unwilling to accept
as final the statement that accord
ing to statistics of deaths among
them they cannot hope to hold a
great meeting after 1920.
They very likely viii cling to the
hope that they viii gather for ten or
even fifteen more years, as doggedly
as they chung to the hope Of victory
in the hard campaigns Of their youth.

The Herald and Their Indictment


There may have been no plot
to murder Leo Frank, hut there
are those in the full enjoyment Of
liberty who share the guilt Of the
convict who attempted to take his
life. Albany Herald.
Yes, maybe you are right. But
there are a number Of Georgia
newspapers and their editors who
have not enough pride and respect
for the State and its people, whom
they derive their living from, 70
defend their names from unjust at
lacks ofNorthern newspapers, Ma
than Strauss, VIM. j. Burns and
others, and the Herald and its editor
are among that number Then what
do we find. Change your edi-
torial comment a little and it IN
diets the Herald along with some
people in Georgia.
There may have been no news
papers boughtin Georgia, but there
are those enjoying the confidence Of
the people who share the guilt of
VIM. j. Burns, Nathan Strauss
and others who are defaming Geor-
gia people and Georgia courts.
We agree with the Herald that
an investigation ought to be made,
and if outside influence is found to
have been the cause then it should
be punished to the full extent Of
the law. But there are other things
that should he investigated that the
Herald hasn't backbone enough to
say anything about. And that is
the story told by George Johnson,
who was recently released from
the state farm, who stated that
Frank was treated like he had been
on social visit to the farm.
The people Of Georgia have tired
Of newspapers that can never see
but one side of question, aid
that is the reason some Atlanta
papers have lost their prestige in
Georgia.
And the Herald seeks to indict
the Atlanta papers for their con-
duct, when the Herald has follow
ed their very foot steps in almost
every particular. Take the state
ment OF George Johnson, the con-
Wet, the Atlanta Journal elinlinat-
ed that partthat referred to Franks
treatment at the farm, and the
Herald couldn't see it at all.

Writes About Policies
10 the People Of Lee county:

To the People Of Lee county:
Well boys ! have heard a little
about county politics in the last
few days. Be quiet about this lit
tie matter awhile longer as you will
certainly have a chance to vote for
some men that you are well ac-
quairted with.
/ am thinking Of getting in my
self, and there is not man that
has lived in the county II months
that does not know me. | was De-
putty Sheriff Of this county 10 years
and Justice Of the Peace Of the 915
G. NJ. for 6 years and if any man
can come to my face or anywhere
else and say / mistreated him sim
gle time ! would like very much
to see such person. You need
quiet, conservative men in ali your
Offices. Men that will do their
duty at any and all times and un-
der all circumstances, and ones
that are willing to give their fellow
men the big ends Of the stick if
necessary. You need men who
will do what the office. requires OF
them and who fear no one but God,
and at the same time be as lenient
with fel!owmen as possible. They
are the ones you have to deal with,
and the ones you have TO look too
for your election.
Law is nothing more than COM
mon sense. It was made by COM
mon sense men. 1t is not hard for
any man to obey the laws Of the
county and state that wants to.
Stop and think before you do a
thing that is against the law OF
your country, your fellowman and
your God. ANY sane man that
will think for moment before
committing rash act against HIM
self or his neighbol will not do 1t.
That sin you commit will return to
you some day and it will be even
worse than the act you committed.
Now friends do not make any
promises yet, wait until the field
gets full and then pick out themen
that you know will do their duty
regardless of the consequences.
There has been entirely too much
politics in our county already, and
it is time we were learning to cast
aside politics and electing the hons
est, conscientious and God fearing
men of Lee county to office.
The people Of Lee county have
been good to me, and to them |
