memorial day IN AUGUSTA. Dead and Living Heroes of the Confederacy Honored, Annual Meeting of the Survivors at Their Hall. Exorcises at the Cemetery and Oration of Mr. Hugh V. Washincton. The“old Confeds" wore monarchs of jail they surveyed yesterday andtlio whole 'town was turned over to them with full permission to do just what they pleased with it. from morn until noon, from noon to dewy eve could lx* heard the roar of cannon, the clash of sabre's, the sharp crack of the carbines and the mighty din anil uproar of battles, for on all sides could be seen groups of veterans fighting their hard fought battles of a quarter of a century ago over again in such an earnest and graphic manner that they themselves and their attc • tire listeners could easily imagine they were upon the numroous battle fields of ' the late war. . 'THE SERVICES. Perhnns a larger crowd never attend | od memorial services than on yesterday, , unless on the day of the great re-union wlr'u I General Wade Hampton war here. All the military was out in fill' force and the excellent weather brought forth many citizens who very sel dom attend public exercises. All the avenues and sections within hearing were thronged by people anxious to hear the eulogy by the eloquent young Georgian .selected for the occasion. Mr. Hitch Vernon Washington was the speaker and it can safely bo said that a more capable young gentleman has never filled the position in this city He not only posseses a smooth deliv ery. but is also a good thinker and gives good food for refleetion. Mr.' Washing ton is a. genuine descendant of the first president of the United States. ' The speaker was intnxlucisl by Mr. T. R. Gibson in one of his usual neat dpeeehes. Rev. J. K. Smith of the u Furst Presbyterian church offered up ■ the opening prayer and Rev. Ernest M. Retires asked the closing benediction. [ THE ADDRESS. h Ladies of tfie Memorial Association, ■uud fellow-citizens: K Since listening to the scholarly address ■pf Col. Jones, the founder of the Sur- ■ vivors’ Association, I feel that my posi- ■ tion is like that of a philosopher who to a famous school in the far Brest for admission. The school was and the professor wishing to con- the information as gently as possible MVik a glass and filling it so full that *no more could be added without spilling a part of the contents, held the glass before the applicant; he eaught up a rose leaf and laid it so gently on the brimming cup that not a drop was lost. And so complete was the eloquent ad dress to which you were treated this morning that I should hesitate to speak. But so gently shall I lay the garland _ of my love on the graves of yonder bdo:.t sleepers as not to mar the com pleteness of a day consecrated to their sacred memories. i History -with its monotones of ponce and deep vibrations of war is like the current of a great, river. Near the northern border of our state a peak rises high above its companions of the Blue Ridge. Among the mists that hong about its summit a mountain Torrent, finds its source, which, dashing from ledge to ledge and recruited by many another stren.m, rushes, like tem pestuous cavalry, upon the falls of Tal lulah. Thundering in its wild descent, it seethes and whirls for a moment, and tossing its,white foam behind it, it speeds away to enter the peaceful vales of the Tugalo, broadening at length into the majestic Savannah, which in its course from the mountains to the sea touches two historic cities—the one upon tide water, the ancient metropolis of the - Commonwealth, that holds as precious legacies the memories of the chivalrous Pulaski and the immortal Jasper; the Other the beautiful city in which we are assembled, where it is impossible for one'familiar with your traditions to en ter without recalling the heroic memories of light Horse H.irrv Loe. Andrew Pick ens.

F A UNITED PEOPLE. . We meet today not for strife. We re ■doice that twenty-eight long years of ■Leaee have intervened since the final "iVnes of Appomattox, and that the pa triotism of all our southland finds its expression in loyaßy for the great re public under which w" live. With no hope but for the greater glory of the Union, we can breathe with the poet: Lord of the universe, shield and guide us, Trusting Thee always through shadow and sun, Thou hast united us—who shall divide us? Keep us, O, keep us, the many in one! We meet for memories. We are assem bled at the bidding of a sentiment, and the call we answer comes from our own hearts. This sentiment has no voice, but it needs pone, and we obey its man date as more binding than law of human enactment. Most potent it draws the people together in assemblies similar to this, from the shores of the Chesapeake to the banks of the Rio Grande. Per chance it shall extend" beyond these bounds, and wherever in this broad land there is a cluster of Confederate graves and a handfnll of southerners, they will meet today in honor and' gratitude and love. It is said tliat times ar- unfavorable to sentiment. tint the c-ommi-csion with which natimle am! stat-s and individ uals are ch.‘<rged is to make their way in the world: that gain is the stake, and bnsiuesi the steed, and competition the spur, and sentiment is but an im peding gamlwnt to be discarded on en tering the V CI . it is even hi ted some times that i gSt riplos are old fashioned, 'and are apt be more inconvenience than value. ■ . To these iSpdern ideas some people Imay easily take. They recall the inci fler.t of the man who was asked by i pit-Pastor' v. hat he thought of the doc ■*Wne of totaS depravity, and not taking I the mi-an fUJ? the question, replied, fco a very good doctrine ■ people w</up only live up to it.” And ■ there nra-V-lL people, who ignoring the let that sjsnflment is allied to principle. ! I Id that principle is the base rqpk which ) l;ders ~£c'ure and permanent political I) h'ernaJSht. deprecate the word and dis m LirdAbs J. -rates. THE ANGLO-SAXON SENTIMENT. But, my friends, whence came this seniuueut, why does it exist today? Why has it survived defeat, and ruin and de famutum and insult, and oppression, why has it outlived soetioual hate, and out la-stcd the flight of time? Why din's it klndlo the eye and animate the heart of the young about us as it did their parents before them"? ' Because you be long tv a race of freemen, n nice which hits never worn a shackle—a race In which the spirit of liberty has been un conquerable and undying. From" the ilawn of hNtory the Anglo-Saxon has possessisi the spirit of liberty; if defeated at times, lie has maintained his supre macy by force of character and assimi lated the conqueror instead of the con queror assimilating him. It is as im possible for the Anglo-Saxon to become servile to another race or wear the badge of inferiority as for the eagle to be transcended by the crakiug raven, or the king of beasts to be cowed by the wolf. It was this spirit that resisted the Danes, that forced their laws upon the conquering Normans, that secured the bill of rights, that wrested from John the Magna charter, that led the armies of Cromwell against royal prerogative and royal usurpations, that inspired the revolt of the American colonies. It was the Anglo-Saxon love of liberty, the wil lingness to fight for a sentiment, to main tain at nil hazards and all costs the prin ciple of home rule, of state’s rights, tliat caused the flag of the Confederacy to bo unfurled in ’(11, and moves our hearts today in loving rememberanee of the valiant lives sacrificed in that high cause. These mein fought not for slavery but for ,their rights that were menaced. The principle that the states were sovereign and as such had the right to enact their own laws, the right of a> free and sov ereign people to govern themselves. It was the same principle that tired their Revolutionary ancestons; the principal of Henry, of Jefferson, of Calhoun. It was this principle inherited with the Anglo-Saxon blood in their veins, tliat made the armies of the Confederacy un complaining, when rajions or no rations were their lot, when their uniforms were torn and pntehod ami threadbare, when the rille ball left them maimed for life, or disease wasted their strength away, when outnumbered they saw victory slip ping from their grasp. It. was the moral courage of their liberty loving souls that made each of them count as throe, that ever mode the rebel yell a note of terror on the field of battle, and tliat oftimes snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. THE SOUTHERN ARMIES WERE AMERICAN. But what of the Southern armies and of what material were they formed? Who was the private soldier? He was .■in American in the truest sense. In him had flowered the best qualities of the strain of which lie came. He was na tive to the soil, and few indeed in the Southern armies did not own the hind upon which they lived. Somewhere in the broad South there was a spot that belonged to him, his home, and whether palatial or humble, its roof was his own, aitid it covered his loved ones. There were no paupers in the South, and when it was invaded, each man felt tliat his own domain, his own home, was threat ened The free and independent life of the Southerner bpd developed in the high est degree, the moral qualities of man-' hood. Ills nobler ideas had not been preverted by avarice nor his native in dependence sacrificed to the artificiali ties of city life In the Southern armies there were' no hireling foreigners, fight ing for a bounty, no alien paupers giving and taking blood with no higher incen tive than a pay roll. In moral qualities the rank and file of the Southern armies were the flower of Ninteenth century civilization, and so changed are the con ditions of life that that civilization will never live again. The mode of life in the South and environment fostered a chivalry of feeling, and the followers of Lee lacked nothing of knighthood but the name. Had their armies been other than they were, the war would have edme to an early close, and there was not another people on the face of the earth that could have bold out as they did. It was the Anglo-Saxon blood perfected by Southern civilization that made their fighting qualities, their endurance, the admiration of all nations; that enabled them with wasted ranks to maintain for four long, terrible years the unequal struggle against the armies of the North recruited from every quarter and grow ing larger as the war advanced. Thrown upon their own resources, hemmed iu from all the world, their heroism fur bished a chapter in history which will suffer nothing by comparison with the proudest achievements of ancient or modern times. Hear the testimony of that soldier and scholar, Gen. D. 11. Hill: "What shall we say of those unselfish patriots who were true to their colors to the last, when the ravages of armies had desolated their country and left blackened chimneys over the buried treasures of a husband’s and father's love? How can we sufficiently honor those men who, knowing that their families, without food and with out shelter, were starving to death or were living on the offal of the enemies camps—who knowing all this, still an swered the roll call, still filled their places in the ranks, still faced death again and again, putting duty to coun try above duty t > wife and chidren! Hard must bo the heart of that foeman which does not warm with a generous glow at this simple tale of sublime de votion of principle. May my arm be palsied by my side when it ceases to hold up the banner inscribed all over with their glorious deeds. May my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth when it ceases to pronounce the praise of such matchless courage, unrivalled devotion, unselfish patriotism!” SOUTHERN LEADERS. •» The Southern armies were worthy of their leaders and their leaders were worthy of them. Taken all in all I do not see how there could have been any other result. It is the marvel of the age that we held out so long. No others could have done so well. I said the lenders were worthy of the men they led. They were worthy of any people or any time. The Anglo-Saxon sp ; rit found its grandest, illustration in their heroism. When the Norman army under William the Conqueror met the English under Harold. Harold dismount ing fought among his soldiers on foot., that the weakest should be encouraged to follow his example, so Lee and the gallant Gordon rode down the fiery front of battle amid bursting shells I and whizzing balls. THEIR CHRISTIAN CHARACTER, Christianity shed its benign influence I over their lives. When the vernal sea son rolls around and the children of the Sunday Schools sing on their festive day. their childish voices repeat the beautiful words of the greatest captain of his age: “Let us cross over the river, and rest under the shade of the trees,” were Jackson’s dying words. When Gen. Stuart, the Chevalier Bayard of the war. lay with his death wounds, when asked how he felt, ho answered: "Easf. but willing to die, if God anjl mv country think I have fulfilled my rlestiny and done my duty. I would like to see’my wife: but God’s will be done.” When delicacies were sent to Gen. Loe’s table, they were by hfm sent to the sick and wounded in the hospital. A patriotic lady sent him a saddle blan ket beautifully embroidered with the words "honor to the brave.” He sent hi< thanks with the message that until the words were picked ont he had no more right to. use. ii than the poo« ; st private who did h’s duty. FOREIGN ESTIMATE OF LEE. Gen. Wolseley is at* once the most distinguished and impartial critic of Gen. Lee. and yet could there be a higher [eulogy? He said: "He was the most [ perfect gentleman of a- state long cele- TIIE AUGUSTA CTIBONTCLE, MAY 3, 1893. brated for its chivalry, ho was just, gentle and geneteus mid child-like in die simplicity of his character. I have met may of the great inen of my time, but las' alone impressed me with the feeling that I was in the preaence of a nuui east hi a grander mould, and made of different and finer metal than nil other mein. Ho is stiunped upon my metuery as being apart and superior to nil others in every way; n man with whom none I ever know, and very few of whom 1 have read, ore worthy to lie classed. When nil the angry feelings caused by secession are buried with those which existed when, the declara tion of independence was written, when Americans can review the history of their last great war with calm impar tiality, I beMeve all will admit that Gen. Leo towered .above all on either side in that struggle; I believe that he will bo regarded not only as the most prominent figure of the Confederacy, but the most il lustrious American of the nineteenth century, whose statue is well worthy to stand on an equal pedosital with that of Washington, and whose memory is equal ly worthy to bo enshrined in the hearts of all his countrymen.” STAINLESS I,IVES. Fellow citizens, that for which we should be most grateful, that which most swells my hVart with pride in all the history of the war and the times since, is that our great loaders, both civil and military, have Hived and died free from disgrace. They have seemed to realize that the critical eyes of mankind were upon them, that any meanness |or Httle .ness or falsity wouldl reflect upon the cause and the people they represented, and with this consciousness they have remained true to all elements of true greatness. The Southern soldier and the Southern statesman remains still the Southern gentleman. So have they lived and so have they died. For this I am truly thankful, for in the integrity of their lives will our children and all the world read aright the Southern cause: “With lives built high on truth's ctor, nity, They wrought alone to glorify their laud.” Tt was this that led a Northern orator to say of the people of the South. "They have some qualities which 1 cannot even presume in an equal degree for the peo ple among whom 1 live. They have, the best of them, and the most of them, in herited from the great race from which they came, the sense of duty and .the in stinct of honor, as ho other people on the face of the earth. They have above aH, and giving value to all, supreme and superb constancy, which without re gard to personal ambition, without yield ing to the temptation of wealth, with out getting tired, and without getting diverted, can pursue a great public ob ject in and out year after year and gen eration after generation.” Spiirits of Beanregard and Kirbv Smith, last of Confeilcrato chieftans to quit the ranks here, to join the warrior souls of Heaven, bear ye this message to Lee and Jackson and Johnson; tell them all attempts to divide our people have failed, that the great race to which they belonged reigns today. East, and West. North and South; tell them that the banner they followed, now forever furled, has ne’er been dishonored, ayd that, in the birth of every child in thoir beloved Southland a living monument is reared to their imperishable fame! SOUTHERN WOMANHOOD. But there is another class worthy of all praise. I do not know where else there has been so much of feminine excellence nud feminine loveliness as among the daughters of whether con- sidered in the days of ante belluni luxu ry and refinement, or during the ordeals of war, or amid the ruin and poverty and gloom that followed. In her homo, refined, gentle, hospitable and true to every womanly instinct. Herself, made of the finest porcelain, she sent her hus band, her boy, her sweetheart to the war. and her own privations, and hard ships and devotion revcaleil more than Spartan virtue. See her yonder, gray haired and bent, receiving the nows of her boy's death, or yonder alone with her little ones, on the great plantation, sorely pressed for the necessities of life; see her again as she takes down the costly garments of her happier days to convert them into supples for the soldiers of Lee's army; and again, as an angel of mercy in the hospitals amid scenes of suffering and death, minister ing alike to the Blue and Gray. And afterwards, the hopeful, toiling help mates that have helped us out of pover ty and despair into the light, and pros perity of a now day. Ah! Rut they "had souls of fire enclosed in shells of pearl.” And every virtue lent a sweeter grace by the incomparable charm of modesty. There is no dearer wish to mo than that the chivalry of feeling they have inspired may never pass away. In the South there are two classes of cemeteries —the one inclosed by solid walls, with well-kept walks and drives, with marble headstones, an agent of n mighty nation is there to see that every blade of grass is kept to its proper length, and to watch over the graves of the Federal soldiers who died fur the Union. There is another class—no marble may mark thoir simple graves, no wall of stone hem them about: no living sentry stands guard above them, and no rich government spends its treasures in beau tifying the spot where sleep the manly forms of the Confederate soldiers. They ih-fjervio these things, but they need them not. The earth may tremble and sculptured stones may fall, time and the Menxents shall wear away tin* chiseli'd names, but. wli’le -tlm. blood of our race remains in posterity the memory of the Confederate dead will live in heart and brain. As sure as the flight of birds, as sure as the return of the seasons, as sure ■is the kiss of the Southerh sun opens the flowers and the rains of April re new the emerald grass; as sure as the the pines make their requiem, and the woodland songsters swell the chorus, so sure will out people come in this beautiful season to deck the graves of onr dead, to preserve their memories, to honor their lives, to glorify their deaths, and to catch the inspiration of their immortal spirits. And remem bering ourselves we will teach our clvldren to remember “Shull they find the peace of their in valides Ob. South, in your grateful hearts? A refuge of welcome with living walls, And love for its radiant dome Till the music of death’s reveille calls The souls of the warriors home.” NOT CHARMED BY JAPANESE WOMEN J Clement Scott Doesn’t Sbnre the Impres sions of Sir Eflwin Arnold. San Francisco, April 25.—The romantic view of Japanese women given by Sir Ed win Arnold iu his “Japonica” and his poems Is contradicted by Clement Scott, who has just arrived here from China and Japan. Scott Is dramatic critic on the London Telegraph, of which Sir Edwin is the editor, so that when his criticisms reach London they are likely to create a sensation in that office. Scott says he had long rebelled against effusive praise of Japanese women by certain English poets and travellers, because all his friends, men of culture and experience, told him the Japanese women were coarse, silly and mercenary. He devoted special attention to a study of all types of the female Jap anese, with the result that he pronounces these women lacking in real courtesy, honesty, virtue or beantj'. In the Chronicle tomorrow Scott will have a long article summing up his observations. It is a slashing attack on the reputed beauty of the Japanese women and on the good breeding and Innocence of the professional tea-house girl. Scott denies all beauty to Japanese women, wham he pictures with "pndgx choeka. small beadv eyes, bent form, shuffling gait, conrsa black hair smeared wWli vile smelling ml." He found none of the educated,•isanipanionnble women whose praises lie had heard sung. He gives a rattling description of n tea house, which, lui siiys, Is nothing more, than a gilded grog shop, and the water girls only mercenary little witches. Fin ally, In the Yoshiwara, he found the low est depth of Japanese vileness, a plnee to wltleh Japanese parents sell their children In order that they may live In Idleness themselves- a plnee from which escape Is almost a miracle. PRIZE ESSAY On the Industrial Development and Possi buttles of Augusta. Than Augusta, there Is not a more beau tiful elty 111 the Smith, or, for the mailer of that, iu the entire country. She stands nt the head of navigation on the Savannah river, and is the centre of a rich and pro ductive territory which stretches toward the four points of the oomiKiss. Tills terri tory is peopled by a million industrious, cheerful souls, ami, each year, they turn into Augusta's eapaelous lap, one hundred million dollars’ worth of farm and orchard pisHluets. Ami yet, the out-laying Valleys, which smile at the toiler’s totieli, and the hills that skin the town, have not been put to tho test they would easily stand. There Is room here, and to spare, for the sturdy New Englander, whether he be trucker or grain grower, horticulturiist or florist, stock raiser or ambitious to harvest the lleeey staple. Land is plentiful, and prices rule Invitingly; let him come and welcome! In 1888, Augusta’s trade atmmtiled to $57,01)0,000; In 18JI, $72,1)00,000. an increase of per eeiit. - ill three years an luvltmg field for strictly wholesale establishments. In 1882, the city's realty amounted to $'J,- 685,515; in 1802, $16,468,050, an increase of 60 per cent., or an annual average in crease of $679,343. In 1882 the city’s per sonalty amounted to $6,293,604; in 1892, $5,- 643,992, an annual average decrease of stH,;H>l. These figures are Interesting, and ■the comparison which the thoughtful reader will institute between the Ums, inviting. They tell of a growing confi dence in the value of real estate us an investment. Not content, to be known solely as a commercial enqioriuin, Augusta treated her citizens to a canal nine miles in length, with 14,000 horse power, at u cost of $1,300,000.’ Tills power Is rented at $5.50 per horse power a year. Muon of this power is unused. Be it remembered tliat the canal lays under contribution to this city, the Savannah river, which is capable of supplying 400,0u0 horse power, equal ill extent to the entire waler power of New England. AUGUSTA'S COTTON FACTORIES Which dot tho territory in the western portion of tile elty mid draw their propul sion front tlie canal, represent $11,000,000 of capital, employ 4,500 bands, annually con sume 80,OtW bales of cot ton, and, each year, send percolating through the eiity 1,000,000 shinning dollars. "But,” says the man seeking investment, "I want 'grad-grind facts.'” Here they are. and they illustrate more forcibly t'hau words the profitableness of cotton manu factures In Augusta: • The period was that of the memorable panic of 1873-1878, during the prevalence of which some of the old. established northern and eastern mills were compelled to stmt down. The gross earnings of "the Augusta. Faatory,’-’ during those trying five years amoimted to $526,837; dividends declares! and paid, $276,000; bales of cotton eonsnmod, 47.075; aggregate wag.m paid, $766,146; aeTgregtite sales imide, $3,94i>,!)18. The dividends equalled 46 p . cent, of tho capital. $600,000, or an average of 9 2-10 per eent. per annum. From 1m;.» to 1876, inclu- declared and paid amounted toiwT'por ceiite. <>f. the citpila.l s>loek, or 18 per cent, per iinnmri: At the tame rim , investment in real estate, new buildings and new- machinery amounted to $160,01X1, without the sale of new stock or call upon the shareholders. In 1881, Augusta's cotton receipts wore 62,771 bales; in 1891, 268,000 bales. This is one of the best of interior edtlon markets. Brices are higher than the average, be cause our mills consume 25 per cent, of all tho cotton manufaetiired In the South, and full RO tier cent ol the cotton uniinutly re ceived In tilts city. Augusta is the point at which the smaller Industries can be made highly profitable. There is no city in the South which off. r< a larger, safer field for investment than August n. Take the census figures of 1890, just as they are, and note Augusta’s progress in tihe Inst decade, as evidenced by the per centages of increase in manufactures. In the number of establishments, 595 per cent; in capital Invested, 241 per cent; in number of lianda employed, 248 per cent; in wages paid, 320 per cent; in cost of material used, 121 per cent; 'in value of product, 174 per cent. To the capitalist, to the mechanic, to the home-seeker, the foregoing figures will anpear us “apples of gold iu pictures of silver.” Augusta possesses every element of strength mid beauty. In point of health, ond to none; in intelligence and virtue, her citizens are the peers of the most exalted; her railways encircle her with a network like a great web; her mean tem perature, summer months, 22 years, 79.6 degrees; winter months, 46.5 degrees; mean annual tenuperntlire, 64; her sanitary ar rangements qual to the best; her edmai tional and religious institutions meet every demand of a steadily increasing population; her people among the most courteous; her merchants wide awake and reliable; her paid fire department unexcelled; her bonded dob.t, $1,751,300; iter tax rate, $1.25 •on the $100; state, county and school ta.x, $1.12 1-2 on the $100; her electric railway 23 miles in length; her building mid loan as sociations well managed ami helpful: her great water way to the sea capable of being made controller of freights; her broad thoroughfares runniug at right angles, being laid In asphalt, and cement gravel; her county public roads among the finest, in T h** state; her dwellings among the lin.udsom*si and her homes among the brightest ami happiest in ail the country wide! her banking houses strong, and prudently manage]. In 1880, Augusta’s population was 21,891; In 1890, 33,300, a gain of 52 per cent. Hut Io get census figures Correct, you must add 30 per coni, for unavoidable errors. This will give a closer aiiptoxiinatlon to the. present population, 43.290. According to the census of 1890, there were 7,449 homes In Augusta. Os these I,Z>l were owned; 6,198 hired. Os those owned only 33 were encumbered. Statistics sfnow that about 80 per e* nt. of families prefer to rent homes; 83.2 of Augustans prefer to pay rent. This is suggestive: Neat, we'l- ap pointed dwellings are in demand, and offer a field for Investment. Com*' to Augusta—the queen of Industry in the South. If you should prefer a home In the suburbs, you can find one on the neighboring and easily accessible hilltops, whose atmosphere is redolent of the pine, and as dry ami invigorating as the most exacting could demand.—United States In vestor- It!.
