ing to express our gratitude, however
inadequately, to the man to whom it
is devoted. Yet our ceremonial will be
but vain and empty if its outward
words and acts are not the expressions
of feelings deeper than words or acts.
It's true dedication is to be found IN
the emotions which have been kindled
by the occasion itself, and the sentl-
ment which gathers about the heroic
deeds of service and sacrifice OF this
man and his fellows
This occasion is far more sacred to
us here assembled, because it is upon
the soil of Georgia, the empire state
of the SOUTH" that this ceremonial is
held. 1t is our home. 1t is our heritage
from those who have gone before, and
as the results of their sufferings we
have been made free from much SUIT
fering, and the grateful heirs of civil
and religious liberty. May we ever
give unstinted glory to those who
have died that we might live, those
who have lost their liberty that we
might finds ours.
\ This is not a monument to the glory
of war. God forbid. Great changes for
good have been wrought and some

cation. bv the convulsive energies OF
war. These are but the exceptions to
the great rule. that Of all the causes
which have degraded nations, opposed
human progress and obstructed in
dustrv war has been one OF the worst.
If this were its object it were better
far that the stones which compose 1t
chad s1umbered in their native quar-
rjes." No array Of circumstances, no
waving of banners, no display OF cos
tunes. can lend to war true dignity,
This is to be found only in great
and noble cause.
Nor is this monument to Vaior
alone. There is something honorable
in the true soldier, who hazardlng
life, stands for the flag which ne toll
lows: but there is that here which IS
higher and nobler still. 1t IS not the
mercenary soldier that we honor now,
who stirred by valor alone takes up
his arms; but a hero, stimulated by
ideals of liberty for himself and 9th
ers. He could scarcely hope Tor a larg-
er measure of reward than those who
languished behind in ingiorious ease
would receive; yet he, with many 9th
ers, laid aside their hopes of ease that
we might be free; that equal rights to
all men might be established and
maintained, disease they encountered,
danger and death in all the horrld
forms in which they present them
selves to all who take their places IN
the ranks of an army. They were pos
sessed Of the belief, solemn and sa-
cred, that in no other way could they
discharge the obligation imposed up
on them by their birthright as citizens
of a country that should be free. They
could not know but that their Ell
forts would all be in vain, and that the
liberty which they sought might new
er be realized, either for themselves
or for Others, yet they risked all and
dared all that they might be worthy
Of success.
Although this monument may often
be passed as a thing of custom; al
though the lesson which it should
teach may seem to be forgotten, yet
if NAV come to some as it comes to us
TODAY with such freshness of mean
ing that it will cause them to take
new hold on life and try to live it
worthilv. GAS in the Roman story
which tells of Hannibal, the mightiest
enemy Rome ever had, it is related
that his father, Hamilcar, himself
chieftain and a warrior, whose re.
nown has been eclipsed by that OF
his greater son, brought him when a
child Of nine years old into the temple
of the gods, that he might lift his 1t
tie hands to swear eternal hostility
to the tyranny OF Rome" so may those
who come after us come here to
swear hostility not to one grasplng
power alone, but to every tyranny
that would enslave the body, enchainl
the mind, or shackle the spirit, and
eternal devotion to the great prlncl-
pies OF civil and religious liberty.

WIN. HOLLEY, NEGRO,
KILLED FRIDAY NIGHT
LOAD OF BUCKSHOT IS FIRED
THROUGH HIS KITCHEN WIN
DOW BY UNKNOWN PARTY.

AS the result of load of buckshot,
fired by unknown hands Friday night,
William Holley, negro tenant on the
farm of Messrs. Baldwin and Pace, is
dead The officers believe they know
the guilty party but lack of evidence
prevents taking any steps.
Holley was at the home of his
daughter, who lives on the Marshall
place near Parrot, when two shots
fired at close intervals rang out from
the darkness, and, according to the
story told by the daughter, Holley
staggered about the room for a few
seconds and fired two shots at random
from his pistol before falling in heap
to the floor.
At the coronor's inquest a number
of persons were questioned in the
hope of throwing some light on the
killing, but after two hours of cross
examining nothing tangible was found
and the jury was obliged to arrive at
verdict of KILLED by the hands of
party or parties unknown"
A certain amount of mysterious and
puzzling accounts were given by the
few negroes questioned, and it is be-
lieved by the Jurors that the parties
testifying knew more about the TRACE
dy than they cared to disclose. One
negro, Frank finch, is said to have
made threats against Holley's life,
and that bad feelings had been rife
rife between the two for many years.
Several years ago Holley fired at
finch from ambush and the load of
buckshot destroyed the use of Tinch's
right arm.

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-The Htocl.

ing today gave the most convincing
exhibition of underlying strength
yet seen on the current upSwing.
Such disQuieting news as the over

decreasing chances for Ameri an
participation in q reparation confer
ence and further cuts in crude oil
by leading companies failed to inn
pair bullish sentiment.
AS has always been the case in
rising markets, more stress was laid
upon the further substantial in
crease in freight traffic for, the
week ended October 27, the increased
copper shipments in October, the ad-
vance in refined sugar prices and
the abundant crops Of corn, pota.
toes and other foodstuffs.
Some irregularity at the opening
due to profit-taklng, was quickly
overcome. From the action OF some
closely held stocks it was apparent
that pool operations formed part
OF the transactions, but the size OF
the demand pretty well Indicated
that the public was taking a broad
ening interest in the proceedings.
believing the turn had come in the
major trend.
Foremost in the advance stood

Cotton Futures.

A report to Congress is the next
step in the Federal Trade Commits
sion's investigation into cotton fu-
lures trading and as a result of
that report it is probable that the
Lever law will be thrown back into
the next session. The commission
cannot state now when the report
will be made. A disposition on the
part of the commission to recon-
mend further restriction of grades
tenderable on cotton futures con-
tracts was apparent in the confer
ence with representatives of the
industry which closed on Thurs
day. Much emphasis was placed
on questions directed to witnesses
by members Of the commission and
its staff of economists on the spe-
cific grade contract authorized un-
der section 10 OF the cotton futures
act and q proposed provision for a
contiguous grade contract which
contemplates the delivery -on con-
tracts of cotton Of three consecutive
grades.
