One of the ira meat advocates of
tho iicceptauco of the Soldiers
-IIonic was the gallant young rep
resentafivo fiom Dougherty, Hon.
E. U. Joues, who got up out of a
sick bed to come to Atlanta to as
sist in the passage of the bill, and
has worked day and night to as
sist in its passage. He spoite as
follows during the discussion of
last Friday.
Mr. Chairman—I have listened
with a gieat deal ’of pleasure to
the eloquent address of tho gentle
man from Fulton, and I feel con
siderably sensitive fnom the fact
that I cannot clothe. my thoughts
in language sublime as he, I am
constrained, however, to state that
ifthere was some supernational
power at my command by which I
could bo transported to the beau
tiful garden of rhetoric, whuro
blossom as the rose tho sweetest
(lower of poetry and prose, most
heartily would I attempt the jour
ney, like the gentleman who pro-
ceded me, and during my vis t I
would cull some poetic sentiments
representing and expressing the
ixalted apprerin ion, love and
gratitude which this patrioticstatg?
hoidso.it towards .the unfortunate
confe lerat 1. oldicr. Sp akin r for
my tel, if tl e power w is n.ine,

shrined'in the hearts of every
Georgia*. .Representing, as I do,
a constituency imbued with a »pir-
it of patroitiam, loving aqd loyal
ae.they ere to tho ([memories clus-
trring around our confederate flag!
gratefully aid charitably inolined
at they are towards tho unfortun
ate soldier, as^te wanders today
tattejed and torn, moneyless heme
less, guilering and alone; I say, in
view of these {facts and circum
stances, I esteem it a privilege and
an honor of no ordinary import to
raise my humble voice in the in
terest of the poverty-stricken con
federate soldier of Georgia.
In speaking of the confederate
soldiers we Know their raoords,
and as Georgians love to tell of
them, and as longas the vestal fire g
of history shall burn, the young
and the old in this happy south
land |of ours will recount their
deeds of valor. Yet it would not
be in consonance with this occa
sion to atK did thoy cringe amidst
disaster, compromise in defeat or
falter in their endeavors to protect
our peaoeful, progressive and pa-
troitic state in tho hoar of her im
minent peril. Nature forbade this,
nr. Chairmen, and history attests
with wonderful nccuraoy the res
ignation with which they submit
ted to the inevitable decreo of
numerical power.
We know that from 1861 to 1864
the angel of' death hovered over
the hovel and the palace end claim
ed the truest of the true and the
bravest of the brave; yet the truest
of the living true, and the bravest
of tho living brave are somewhere
in this "grand old commonwealth,
telling their stories of patroltism
and undaunted courage to innocent
pratling children, who ami 1st the
love-worn war stories learn their
first lessons of patroitiam and at
the same time shed a sympathetic
tear for the gray-haired, hungry
confederate soldier jos he oppeals
for bread and raiment. I wonder
how many goutlemen within th e
hearing of my voice have ever suf
fered the misfortunes of [toverty;
who were mortified and humiliat
ed to the extspt that they accord
ing to the cu.itom’of begg irs, were
compiled to take off their hats
and beg from door to door. I know
there not one, and God grant theru
never will be, and if such should
ever be, God grant that the time
will be so far distant that the grave
shall have closed over all the old
soldiers, because some appeal
might be made to one of them,
which would be granted; yea, to a
division of his crutches if necessa*
r J-
It is whispered by the opponents
of the bill that they do not desire
sentiment in this discussion. What
is love, faith, hope, charity, relig
ion, patroitism, gratitude but senti
ment. Sentiment has ruled the
world from that night in the dis
tant ages when the bright star
from the east .cast its mellow light
to lead the wise men to tho man
ger where the infant Christ lay,
and so it will continue to rule the
world, just so long as the hearts of
men can be touched by a sympa
thetic appeal, and so long as relig
ion will last end no longer.
It was principle, it was charac
ter, it was virtue, it was honor, it
was patriotic devotion to his couu •
try which sustained the confeder
ate sol lier amidst the disasters and w jth his.aggregation of wealth sufs

whioh lies nearest and dearest to the
hearts ef southern manhood an
womanhood and whioh our jioiior-
Hy will protect fratu dishonor, are
the hallowed traditions of our coun
try, and it should be our duty to
protoot them and leave them to fu
ture generations. ,
Speaking on this line, Mr; Chair
man, I am reminded of the English
man who, with his heart respon
sive to every sentiment ef national
pride, holds the memory of Nolson
to his heart and proudly points to
Trafalgar; and the gallant French
man, with a heart glowing with
every sentiment |whioh patriotism
could invoke, recalls the memory
of Bonaparte and sally turns to
Waterloo. And the undimmed
glories ’and martial spleudor of
southern martyrdom, whon tho
southern cross uo longer courted
tho breeze ef war ou the blood
stained soil of Virginia, guides a
southern soldier through the intri
cate paths of memory to Appomat-,
tox. ~
Follow him frem that moment
to tho present, 'though misfortyriV 1
lias placed its sea! upon him, nnd.
we will discover that the same
characteristics which (mariecd him
on the battletiold has fallowed him
to the threshold of this confeder
ate soldiers’ home. It is a sail yet
a consoling ’fact that neitbor an
cient nor’moilern history records a
more heartrending scans than that,
which met tho eye of tho confeder
ate soldier when he lowered for
the last time tho confederate Hag
nt Appomattox, where (he turned
his back to a conquering foe aud
sought the love 1 precincts of hit;
hnmble Georgia home, only to find
desoliitiou, poverty and despair
awaiting his return. I .invoke th e
acceptance of this home in the
name of the same principles for
which they struggled, in the name
of tho same sentiment which burns
like a promethean fire in the hearts
of the bravest men who ever drew
a sword or shouldered a musket, of
the noblest women wiio ever im
printed a Kiss upon the cheek of
the departing soldier, smoothed tho
locks of the bleeding warrior,
brushed away the scalding tear
and taught the bravest how to die-
We read through the pages of an
cient history where magnificent
tomples were erected to preserve
the ideal conceptions of the poet,
printer and sculptor, Thus arose
tho unrivalled beauty, grandeur
and splendor of the pantheon, un
equaled in beauty and symmetry
of structure, grand and imposing,
with the dust of centuries cluster,
ing about it. If a spirit of patri
otism intensified the genins of the
mallet, trowel and the square in
erecting this m igniftoent structure,
to protect carved pieces of inani
mate stone, made in shapeless im
ages and in direct opposition to tho
laws of GoJ, why is it that this
humble ho no cannot he accepted
to liqjida'e a d*bt of gratitude this
state owes to the unfortunate coil-
confederate soldier, who illustrated
the manhood andchivaUy of Geor
gia, “at a time when hope, for 1
season, bad* the world farewoll.’
In attempting language sublime I
venture the ass trti in, that if the
realization of tho wildest dream of
Monte Cristo, tihged with the
gleam of the most varied imagin
ings of the human intellect, if the
speculative geni is of a Croesus,

It is whispered fmn some parts
of this state that this is a triok of
Atlanta, that Atlanta receives «
greater benefit than other seotions
of this state, May I ask where
was Atlanta in 1864? Her ashes
were scattered to tho four winds of
heaven, her boautiful structures
were consumed by fire to appease
the hate of a desperate enemy, and
the light from that Infiogration
brightened Ilia pathway to tho sea.
Where aud wlmt is she today? 1’lto-
enix-liko she has risen from tho
ashes of defeat, tho pride of every
Georgian, and the wonderful trans
formation was wrought through
the united efforts of those who
wore tho blue and those who hon
ored the grey. If such ho tho
