2 THE' ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA.. TUESDAY, JULY 8, 1913. CUL TO OLD HEROES .Veterans of Blue and Gray Gather on Gettysburg Field and Hear President Praise Valor Displayed on Field (By Associated Press.) GETTYSBURG, July 4.—The train bear ing President Wilson arrived at the sta tion in the town of Gettysburg at 31 o’clock. The president was escorted to an automobile and accompanied by Gov ernor Tener, passed through the town to the Emmittsburg road, then proceeded to the camp. The president spoke to a crowd esti mated at 10,000. Thousands of veterans were in their uniforms of gray or blue, but many in the crowd were Pennsylva nians from Gettysburg and nearby towns. The president’s speech was short and he was frequently interrupted by cheers. President Wilson left by special train shortly before noon for the north. ADDRESS OF PRESIDENT. Friends and Fellow Citizens: I need not tell you what the battle of Getts- burg meant. These gallant men in blue and'gray sit about us here. Many of them have met here upon this ground in grim and deadly struggle. Upon these famous fields and hillsides their comrades died about them. In their presence it were an impertinence to dis course upon how the battle went, how it ended, what it signified! But 50 years ha've gone by since then, and I crave the privilege of speaking to you for a few minutes of what thost 50 years have meant. What have they meant? They have meant peace and union and vigor, and the maturity and might of a greaft nation. How wholesome and healing the peace has been! We have found one another again as brothers, and com rades in arms, enemies no longer, gen erous friends rather, our battles long past, the quarrel forgotten—except that we shall not forget the splendid valour, the manly devotion' of the men then arrayed against one another, now grasping hands and smiling into each other’s eyes. How complete the union has become and how dear to all of us, bow unquestioned, how benign and ma jestic, as state after state has been added to this our great family of free Znen! How handsome the vigor, the maturity, the might of the great nation we love with undivided hearts; how full of large and confident promise that a life will be wrought out that will crown its strength with ^gracious justice and with a happy welfare that will touch all alike with deep contentment! We are debtors to those crowded 50 years; they have made us heirs to a mighty heritage. » But do we deem the nation complete and finished? These venerable men crowding here to this famous field have set us a great example of devotion and utter sacrifice. They were willing to die that the people might live. But their task is done. Their day is turned into ‘ev.ening. They look to us to perfect what they established. Their work is handed on to us, to be done in another way. but not in another spirit. Our day is not over; It is upon us in full tide. Have affairs paused? Does the na tion stand still? Is what the 60 years have wrought since those days of battle finished, rounded out, and completed? Here is a great people, great with every force that has ever beaten in the life blood of mankind. And it is secure. There is no one within its borders, there is no power among the nations of the earth, to make it afraid. But has it yet squared itself with its own great stand ards set up at its birth, when it made that first noble, naive appeal to the moral judgment of mankind to take no tice that a government had now at last been established which was to serve men, not masters? It is secure in ev erything except the satisfaction that its life is right adjusted to the uttermost to the standards of righeousness and humanity. The days of sacrifice and cleansing are not closed. We have harder things to do than were done in the heroic days of war, because harder to see clearly, requiring more vision, more calm balance of judgment, a more candid searching of the very springs of right. VALOR WAS GREATEST. Look around you upon the field of Gettsburg! Picture the array, the fierce heats and agony of battle, col umn hurled against column, battery bel lowing to battery? Valour? Yes! Greater no man shall see in war; and self-sacrifice, and loss to the uttermost; the high recklessness of exalted devo tion which does not count the cost. We are made by these tragic, epic things to know what it costs to make a nation— the blobd and sacrifice of multitudes of unknown men lifted to a great stature in the view of all generations by know ing no limit to their manly willingness to serve. In armies thus marshaled from the ranks of free men you will see, as it were, a nation embattled, the leaders and the led, and may know, if you will, how little except in form its action differs in days of peace from its action in days of war. May we break camp now and be at ease? Are the forces that fight for the Nation dispersed, disbanded, gone to their homes forgetful of the common cause? Are our forces disorganized, without constituted leaders and the might of men consciously united be cause we contend, not with armies, but with principalities and powers and wick edness' in high places. Are we content to#lie still? Does our.union mean sym pathy, our peace contentment, our vigor HOUSE TO HAVE LOBBY Trade and Crop Re ports from the South —From Bradstreet’s. Committee of Seven Proposed to Investigate Charges of Martin H, Mulhall WASHINGTON, July 7.—The house wrestled several hours today with a proposal for a lobby investigation on its own account and finally deferred a vote until Wednesday. Although debate had been “limited to one hour,” it raged throughgout the entire sitting and ig noring warnings of Republican leader Mann to “get down to business,’’ ad journment was forced on lack of a quo rum. Apparently sentiment was almost unanimous for an investigation. A res olution from the rules committee com prised not only an investigation by a committee of seven of Martin M. Mul- hall’s charges that congressmen had been inflenced by the lobby of the Na tional Association of Manufacturers but a probe of the whole “lobby” situation. Before the house adjourned all amend ments accepted had been to broaden the scope. The house investigation will probably be. distinct from that of the senate. The most noteworthy feature was the elimination of a’provision for the em ployment of Counsel by the house com mittee. Representative Levy, of New York, opposed to the investigation, sug gested the possibility that Samuel Un- termeyer, counsel for the "money trust” committee, might be contemplated. Rep- resentalve Henry, of Texas, defended Untermeyer and lauded his work, add ing that he had no idea who was con templated as counsel for the lobby in quiry. Finally the provision for counsel was dropped. Henry, next Wedensday, will renew.the fight for employment or coun sel. An. unsuccessful effort was made to limit the time for report of the com mitted to September 1, next, and an amendment was still pending to specif ically require all hearings to be open. Chicago Mayor Pays Visit to Tenderloin; Dives Lose Permits CHICAGO, July 4.—Seventeen saloon licenses in what formerly was the south side' segregated district have been re voked. by Mayor Harrison. This was the result of an unannounced stroll taken by the mayor one night recently through the district. The police re peatedly had reported the locality clean ed up. CINCINNATI OPERATES SEIZED ICE PLANTS CINCINNATI, July 4.—The city of Cin cinnati continued today to operate the Ice plants seized Wednesday night by or der of Mayor Hunt, and many citizens who had been unable to obtain ice since the strike of employes began two weeks ago, were supplied with It. Further evidence on the application of ice manufacturers for an injunction to prevent the citl from operating the plants will be heard tomorrow. Sails for Arctics (By AsBooiated Frees.) BOSTON. July 6.—After taking on board seven tons of pemlcan and a quantity of medical supplies here, the sealing steamer Diana sailed from Bos ton late today for the Arctic regions with a party of explorers headed by Donald B. McMillan, who plan to re main three years In Crocker Land. The expedition Is sent out by the American Geographical society and the American Museum of Natural History of New York. Homes for Ministers (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) DALTON, Ga., July 5.—Homes have been provided for 160 ministers and laymen expected to attend the confer ence of the Dalton district, North Geor gia Methodist conference, here next week. The opening sermon will be de livered by Rev. J. H. Little, of Ringgold, and Rev. W. T. Irvine, presiding elder, will be in charge of the conference. The meeting opens Tuesday night and will last through Thursday. Speaking of Juleps (Houston Post.) I The Norfolk Virginian Pilot discusses the mint julep in a lengthy editorial. We hate to see a newspaper utilizing so much space on something of which it is utterly destitute of accurate information.

OLD CLASSMATES MEET. Two generals, one a regular United States army officer, and the other a Confederate commander who were class mates together at West Point before the civil war. met In the camp last night for the first time since they left the military academy, 62 years ago, al though they fought against one another in the civil war. They are General Fe lix Robertson, of Texas and General J. N. Barlow, of Washington. Their meeting occurred when the en tire Confederate body, headed by a band, marched to general headquarters to pay tribute to Major Jas. E. Wermoyle. As they stood in front of the tent, with General Robertson and General Thomp son Brown at their head, the former recognized General Barlow in civilians clothes. Stepping forward General Robertson accosted the man: “Excuse me, are’nt you a West Pointer?” he asked. “Yes, I am General J. H. Barlow, re tired,” replied the officer. “I remember you,’ 1 said General Rob ertson. “You were in my class. We entered the academy in 1857: I left in ’61 to join the Southern army. Don’t you remember me?” “By George,” said General Barlow, “I do remember you. perfectly!” The two generals later spent several hours In General Barlow’s tent talking of the days spent* at West Point and re lating Incidents and experiences of the war. SUFFRAGETTES SCORE. Woman suffrage has found favor among the veterans. At Suffragette’s tent, near the big central tent, hund reds of men in blue and gray pour In every day and sign their names to ‘ a senatorial petition. The women In charge of the tent say that 12,000 men. representing 32 states, have signed. Governor Mann, of Virginia, and Gen eral Young, commander-in-chief of the United Confederate Veterans, started a movement to have a grand reunion of the armies of the north and south at Richmond in April, 1915, on the flf tieth anniversary of the evacuation of the capital of the Confeedracy. If this reunion takes place the men in blue will be the guests of the men in gray. The state of Virginia probably will be asked for assistance. CHARLESTON. S. C.—Wholesale trade is dull, but retail continues to show some Improvement. Collections are slow. Cotton shows some improve ment, due to excessive heat and favor able weather conditions. CHATTANOOGA.—Wholesale trade in builders’ hardware and mill supplies is good. Jobbers of dry goods report that trade is fairly active for the season and are optimistic for the future. Wholesale grocery houses and confec tionery dealers say trade is good. The textile industries are running full time, though they express some appre hension as to the tariff. The weather has been hot and dry, and in some lo calities crops have been injured. MEMPHIS.—Wholesale trade in all lines is avtice. Retail trade is good. Collections are fair. Warm weather has been beneficial to growing crops, and the prospects are fine. ATLANTA.—Sales continue fair, but collections are slow. The weather has been ideal for farming, and the cotton and corn crops are in good condition. SAVANNAH.—While trade in all lines is quiet, cotton and other crops are showing improvement, and the out- loog is more favorable than at this time last year. Collections are slow. BIRMINGHAM.—Inquiries for No. t foundry iron are fairly brisk, and it is said that sales are being made at $11 and $11.50. Hardware and building material are in good demand. Lumber milsl are practically all in operation, and the supply exceeds the demand. Dry goods and other lines at wholesale, are doing a very good‘business for the sea son. Recent rains have been benefi cial to cotton, which, as a whole, Is in satisfactory shape. MOBILE.—Jobbers in all lines report trade quiet. Retail trade is slow. Col lections are tardy. Frequent showers in this section have been very benefici al to crops, especially to corn and late vegetables. MONTGOMERY—Rains are badly needed throughout this section, as ex- cesive heat and dry weather are retard ing crops. Trade, wholesale and retail. i3 quiet. Collections are poor. JACKSON—Trade is fair., but collec tions are slow. Recent rains helped crops. N.EW ORLEANS—Crops in Louisiana are being greatly benefited by continued good weather. Reports from the sugar sections are favorable, and Indicate a probable increase in yield over last year. Cotton, rice and corn are doing well, but cotton is being affected more or less by the appearance of the boll weevil. However, the farmers are pick ing the weevils, arfd in this manner it is believed the greater part of the crop will be saved. General trade is rather quiet, and collections are somewhat tardy. Business done-by jobbers, how ever. shows a slight improvement. FORT WORTH—With rains in the northern central and westerh sections of Texas during the past ten days, excel lent crops are practically assured for the entire state. Harvesting of wheat and oats is well under way. The crop first named is expected to yield 12,000,- 000 to 14,000,000 bushels, and the oats crop will give from $25,000,000 to 30,- 000.000 bushels. While some little corn was damaged by drought, every indica tion now points to one of the largest crops in years. Cottbn is in excellent shape on an increased acreage. The plant is in a fine state of cutivation, though somewhat late. Forage crops of all kinds are in good condition and a bumper yield Is expected. The cattle range was never better at this season of the year, as recent rains will give excellent pasturage for the balance of the summer and assist materially in winter grass. Retail trade is rather quiet, while jobbers and grocers also report dull business. On the other hand, hardware and kindred lines are in good demand and the outlook is ex cellent. Collections are fair to good. THE CROPS, Crop reports are- good as a whole, win ter wheat, corn and cotton sending es pecially satisfactory reports. Three par ticularly favored states in crop mat ters are Iowa, Nebraska and Texas. Oats, however, will be a short crop, and spring wheat has been injured in South Dakota and parts of North Dako ta not visited by rains. ■Winter wheat yields are up to expec tations and a record crop is now as sured. Spring wheat yields will fall short of ast year’s record crop, but It looks as if mad advices were exagger ate. A total wheat crop exceeding last year’s and possibly a record yield are still possible. Corn has been beenflted by rains in Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri and Illinois .The crop is in a good state of cultivation, and prospects as a whole are favorable. The least satisfactorily situated crop of all is oats. The hot wave in the west is reported to have caught that crop in the milk, and a yield far short of last year’s record crop is probable. The hay crop is a spotted one. Iowa, the leading producer, promises well, as it did last year, when all records of hay and seed production were broken. Tobacco crop reports from Pennsyl vania, Virginia and Kentucky are good. Lancaster county, Pa., will have a large crop. In the olwer Mississippi valley sugar, rice and corn promise well, and the yield of sugar may equal last year, despite the smaller area. Cotton crop reports are generally good, being best from Texas, the Mem phis district and the southeastern belt, which a year ago lost heavily. The only complaints as to cotton come from parts of Alabama, due to drought, and from Louisiana and Mississippi, where the boll weevil is active, but is being as actively fought. Tne north Pacific states have had a surplus of rain, but while hurtful to iruit, it has been helpful to wheat and to hops, which in Oregon never looked better. California crop yields were in jured by lack of rain earlier in the season. Heat and drought have hurt some oi the smaller vegetable and fruit crops in many sections. CORONER’S JURY HOLDS 4 NEGROES FOR MURDER DUBLIN, Ga., July 5.—The coroner’s jury which has been probing the mur der of Mr. and Mrs. J. T.

GOVERNOR MANN OPPOSES RICHMOND REUNION PLAN Virginia Executive Says Com memoration of Richmond’s Fall Not Fitting (By Associated Press.) RICHMOND, Va., July 7.—In a state ment today Governor Mann strongly re sented the published reports that he had advocated a grand reunion of the armies of the north and the south in Richmond in 1915, on the fiftieth anni versary of the evacuation of the Con federate capital. "There is absolutely no foundation for the statement that I advocated such a reunion,” said Governor Mann. “The friendly gathering of American citizens who were soldiers in both armies on the field of Gettysburg was a very different thing from the proposed celebration of the passing and fall of the Confed eracy. I participated with pleasure and pride in the celebration this week at Gettysburg, but any reunion to com memorate the fall and burning of Rich mond would be woefully inappropriate.” Civil War Veteran, 107, Traces Health To Bachelor’s Life LOS ANGELES, July 5.—Daniel Tur ner! a veteran of the Civil war, residing at Santa Monica, who celebrated his one hundred and seventh birthday to day, thanks his judgment in remaining single for his long life and apparent good health. “My life was never blighted by worry or sickness, because I never married,” said “Uncle” Daniel. “Married men die younger than bachelors.
