Gordon in Rockdale.
Conyers, Ga., Sept. 11.—‘‘There’s
lio use in the general coming down
here to look after us,” said an old
soldier who bad left a leg on sonic
victorious field nshesaw Gov. Gordon
get ofl the train, “he might know
we are all for him. You sec, we got
that way in Virginia and we ain’t
never gotten out of it, and whats
more, we ain't cr gwinc to.”
That is just the way of it. They
are all for Gordon. A crowd came
down to the Atlanta railway station
to see him off for the war, and crowds
were at every station to catch a
glimpse of him as he went on his way
Many alliancemen and other demo'
crats got aboard the train at Decatur,
Stone Mountain and Lithonia, to
come to Conyers to hear the speech
Maj. W. A. Broughton, treasurer
of the state alliance, was on the train,
and he said to me:
“Gordon seems to be a little stirred
up. There is no cause for it. He is
the choice of the people and is already
practically nominated."
At Conyers a large crowd met the
train. There were nearly all the
prominent business men of the city,
the leading farmers of Rockdale, and
the head men of the alliance. From
station to hotel it was a reception and
a triumphant march. Old soldiers
and men and boys of Conyers pressed
around him to shake the hand and
sec the noble, battle-scarred face of
the hero and patriot.
“We can’t do without you, gen*
eral,” said a vetcrau of 18113. “We
want you to lead us again." “111 do
it,” said the gcneial.
As he passed up the street another
old warrior, whose empty sleeve
drooped mournfully by his side, like
the furled banner of the lost but
undying cause, approached him.
Gen. Gordon’s eyes softened as the
empty sleeve recalled the years of
fighting for his country, lie grasped
the veteran by the hand that war had
spared, and, pointing to his sleeve,
said: “I would rather fall under
that banner than prosper under any
other.”
The soldier could not find his voice
ns he turned away, and the spirit of
the old hero’s days came hack into
his heart.
Gov. Gordon spoke at the court
house to a large and enthusiastic
crowd.—Atlanta Journal.
Anything in This.
A report has appeared in several
papers that a certain member of the
legislature was paid $100,000 in stock
for getting the bill through the legisla
ture offering the Okcfenokec swamp
for sale. Of this report the Columbus
Enquiret-Sun says:
"Is there as any scandal connected
with the recent legislation providing
for the sale ol the Okefenokee swamp ?
We do not know that there is, but it
is alleged that the bill was lobbied
through, and that a member of the
General Assembly who engineered the
measure and who was most active in
securing its passage, is now one of the
largest stockholders in the Okefenokee
company, and was paid $100,000 in
the stock for his services in the Legis
lature. This was a vast property for
tne State to give away, and it was
given away for p song. Whether or
not the charges made be true, they
ire gaining wide public circulation,
end it is due the people of Georgia as
well as the “Okefenokee syndicate,
that the facts be ascertained.”
Are the old Confeds to be Snubbed ?
Among the memories of the late
war none have been cherished with
greater tenac.ty and pride by the peo
ple of this State than those connected
with the hero sm, the loyalty, the self-
sacrificing sp : rit and the noble endu
rance of the Georgia troops. The
record they made should be an ever-
enduring monument to their gallantry
and bravely, gloried in by the survi
vors, and revered by their children and
their children’s children. We trust
the day will never come whe i the ser
vices of these heroes and their noble
leaders will ever be contemned* or
spoken ol lightly, without evoking
emjihatic protest and resentment.
The majority of these veterans,
who shed lustre by their hero
ic deeds on the Sou h and her
cause, have passed the semi cen
tennial ot life or are rapidly verging to
that point. And what great reward
have they received during the past
quarter of a century? Have they not
relied upon themselves, proven their
independence and manhood in their
honest labor in building up the waste
places of their Southland and restor
ing their homes and S ale to prospcri
ty ! Are these the men to be classed
as “those fellows ?” Will not every
man, whether he be farmer or busi
ness man, Allianccman ornon-Alli-
anceman, who at the sacrifice of every
material interest and the risk of his
life, “fought for his country once,” feel
indignant at being contemptuously
classified as "those fellows ?”
While it is true that some of the
most conspictous leaders have been
honored in various ways, it has been
chiefly at the hands ol their followers,
who have been moved by the love and
admiration which they bear for the
men who led them into the thickest
of the fray and shared its dangers with
them. It can be truthfully said that
the officers and men of the Confeder
ate army have not, nor can they be too
liberally rewarded. Few of these
have received more than the gratelul
rememberance of the States they have
served so well In Georgia thousands of
them have had no recognition beyond
this-, have asked' f r none ; but they do
claim the right and privilege of honor-
ing their leaders, and are justified in re
senting any attempt to depreciate their
services. Such effort to prejudice
sentiment against the "old soldiers”
by intimation that they expect more
consideration for their service than
they deserve comes with bad grace
from any source, but specially so when
flippantly made by th >se who never
experienced the dangers and the hard
ships of the tented field in defense of
their country’s cause.
Hence the reference by the South
ern Farmers’ Alliance, in its war cn
Gen. Gordon, to “those feilows who
have fought for their country once”
and think they have a right to do as
tiey please for all time to come, will
not be relished by the hundreds of old
heroes in the ranks of the Alliance who
hold their "war record” as above all
other considerations. Why should
these veterans be reterrtd to contem-
tuously as “those fellows,” and what
Kature should he
assisted In the
swing to throw off
the heaviness of
ffie sluggish winter
circulation of the
blood. Nothing
docs it so well, so
! prompt or so safely

evidence does the political history of
this State present that '".hose fellows”
(Confederate veterans) “think they
have a right to do as they please for
all the time to come ?” What justifi
cation lias the editor of the Alliance to
cast this comtemptuous slur upon the
veterans who are willing to again hon
or their gallant chieftain? Georgia
veterans will hardly accept with equan
imity being classed as "those fellows.”
It is the first lime that the Confeder
ate soldiers have been so referred to
in any Southern print, and may it be
the last.
The above from the Enquirer-Sun,
Columbus, expresses the views ol
thousands of old soldiers. Mr. Harry
Brown, the man who essays to ••fix”
things in Georgia, alludes to Gordon,
Phil Cook, Boh Mitchell and the thous
ands of scarred, one legged, one armed,
heroes, who faced death on a hun
dred battle fields, as “those fellows
who fought for their country once.”
Yes and Georgia holds no truer men
to-day than these men "who fought
for their country once.” Mr. Brown’s
sneers at these men who sacrificed
everything for the South, will not harm
John B. Gordon, and the men who
followed him, mid storms of bullets,
shot and shell. The people or Gcor-
gia, if they have a spark of love left
for the men who wore the gray, will
resent this slur and ex confederate
soldiers.
