Southern Female College.
The Southern Female College- en
tered upon its fifty-first session on
Wednesday, with brilliant prospects
and under happy auguries of in
creasing usefulness and power.
The opening exercises accorded
with the animus of a school that
has so long and so successfully car
ried the banner of educational pro
gress, planting it upoD heights hith
erto unsealed by woman.
The divine blessing was invoked
in a prayer by Rev. G. S. Tumlin,
who also read the 103d Psalm. Then
there was a burst of music by the Or
chestra; an exquisite"piano solo by
Miss Alice Cox; a banjo solo by Miss
Hooten, which was highly compli
mented; a fine vocal solo by Miss
Lady Goss, who took the place of
Mrs. N. R. Hutchinson,- uuable to
sing on account of hoarseness;
other music by the Orchestra, and
finally the able address by President
Charles C. Cox, on the appropriate
subject, “What is tl • chief good in
life?” We have not space, nor could
we do justice, had we, to this thought
ful production of a cultured and
scholarly mind. It was pervaded by
a profound Christian philosophy and
abounded with apposite thoughts and
practical suggestions to the long ar
ray of pupils before him. He out
lined their duties and what should
be their aims, and, no doubt, left a
deep impression on their receptive
intellects and hearts.
The chapel was beautifully decora
ted on the occasion with gems from
the Art Department, under the direc
tion of Mrs. Fitts and Mrs. Awtrey.
Thus auspiciously and inspinngly
logins a year which, we trust and be
lieve, will be unequaled in all the
honorable and distinguished record
of the College for the faithful and
thorough work done.

Destitution of
the Poor.
Tbe following letter, received from
a noble young man, lias been handed
us for publication by a gentleman
of tbis city. Surely it will arouse
our people to do something for a
strioken sister city.
Brunswick, Ga., Sept. 17, 1893.
Dear —: I have several of friends
to whom I feel it would be proper in
me to write, and thank for kindnesses
in the past, especially since I may
never have another opportunity of
doing bo. I regard you as one of
the number to whom I ain due many
thanks.
We acre in the depths of woe
down here just now., and I do not
wish for any one who has ever done
me a kindness to think I did not ap
preciate it fully, and, in view of what
may possibly happen to me, 1
take this, -my only means, of thank
ing them.
Yellow fever has just been de
clared epidemic to-day, and there is
a peculiar thing about it, as this is
Sunday, September 17, and, on Sun
day, Sept. 17, just 17 years ago, the
fever was declared epidemic before.
I pity the poor people here, as they
will suffer terribly, not only from the
dread plague, but from starvation,
which is sure to come, unless assist
ance arrives at once. You cannot
imagine the hopeless despair of being
bottled up with a plague Such as this
bids fair to be, unless you have gone
through it yourself. W'e are short
on doctors, nurses, and everything
else to fight it with, and I fear the
mortality will be very great, unless
a change soon takes place, as it
seems to be of a very malignant
type. We have eleven new cases to
day, and this make a total of 21
cases so far, 19 of them in the last
three days. Fate has cast my lot
among the people of this stricken
city, and, by tbe grace of God, I
shall strip myself for the fray, and,
if lie wills it, to go down at my
post, doing my duty as a druggist
and as a man. My heart bleeds
when I think -'-f the suffering and
death which are soon to follow in the
train of this scourge, and if you
wish to do a Christian act of charity,
start, or get some one to start, a re
lief fund for the suffering, and for
ward to our relief committee.

AN ADDRESS
To the Veterans of Troup
County.
Will soon settle the silver question. The financial
sky will be clear once more. Money to move the
cotton crop will be plentiful. No trouble about that.
The Southern farmer’s product is a mighty factor in
drawing gold from the civilized world. Cotton is
King! He will be duly crowned on or about October
18th, by
E. R. Bradfield
For further details, watch this space.
But, meanwhile, while the politicians are talking
over the question of the hour, we are attending to
Business, with no fear of the future, and with all the
magnetic enthusiasm that long lines of shelves and
counters a-shining with a world of new and pretty
goods—pleased customer’s naturally evoke. In this
connection, I wish to thank all our friends who have
called to see the new goods, and to express my ap
preciation to the many who have bought. They were
as wise as they were kind. Now let everybody fol
low suit for the next ten days.
Every department is brimiul of Novelties and extra
good values, as stated above. Early buying will se
cure the best and choicest things and best bargains.
There will be lots of things that I cannot get again
tnis season, and then, ah! then, you will wish yon
had bought sooner. A word to the wise!
Comrades ;—At a meeting held on
the 5tb lost., much more largely at
tended than tbe most sanguine hoped
for, a reorganization was effeoted and
steps taken with resolutions passed
tending to permanency and a revival
of our interests as an organization.
Our object is, by united effort, to col
lect a complete roll of every company,
and every man in each company, that
went from Troup county in the late
war, and to collect a true history of
each company, with, as far as possi
ble, every deed of daring by individ
ual or collective members of these
companies. A great many brave
deeds have never been written, and
are known only to you. We want to
collect these, anrl call upon you to
write out true facts of which you have
personal knowledge, and send same
to Judge T. H. Whitaker, who was
elected our historian. In a few days
I will appoint an assistant historian
in each company and one in each
militia district, all to report to Judge
Whitaker, who will arrange matters
for publication.
Now, brother comrades, as survi
vors of a righteous and just cause-
one that wo are not ashamed of, nor
of any part we took in it, but would
hold up with pride to our descendants
—the Lost Cause, with the heroism,
valor and bravery of the soldiors who
fought and died for it—we Have delay
ed this matter too long. Hundreds
and thousands who survived have
since oroesed over the river and are
resting under tbe shade of the trees,
in God’s eternal camping ground.
They knew a great deal we can never
collect, but let ils do what we can,
that posterity may know the truth,
and combat the infamous lies that are
now and have been published
throughout the north and west,
called history. No more glorious
struggle nor braver people ever faced
the six to one on earth and ‘ maintain
ed the unequal contest for so long a
time. All we wanted then was justice
—all we want now is justice, and close
by her side sits honor Imperishable.
J. L. Schaub,
Commander Troup County Gamp
Confederate Veterans. .
