OLD DAYS
ARE RECALLED
Memorial Session Was
Feature oi Lee
Day.
but A genuine dinner. There wag
everything from oyiter eoup to as
sorted cake, and It did your heart
good to see the enjoyment with
which the veteran* ate. The vete
ran* were not the euiy ojc8 cio
partook of the enjoyment. The rejr
Invited gueata, led by the preacher*
and the editor, ate a* If It were their
Iaat for the week, and rellahed It
a* If It were the flrat for the week.
l . 'From Sunday'* Issue.
More than the ordinary number of
Confederate veterans came to town
yesterday to participate In the cele
brat Ion of the birthday of General
tea. They were rewarded by prob-
ably the most pleasant and success-
fnl program that has ever been pre-
;pared for this occasion.
The exercise* proper were held
Tn the 'Sunday school room of the
Baptist church, ttad the crowd who
attended them was larger than the
room could accommodate; a good
Bart of the church proper was tilled
-with the overflow. The speech of
Mr. W- I. MacIntyre eulogising the
-memory of the South’s great chief
tain, while short, was brim full of
interest. Mr. MacIntyre has i
pices!hg manner that draws the at
tentlon of his audience from the
Amt moment. He Indulged In Just
enough pleasantry to rob the occa
sion of any symblance of dryness
k* explaining the briefness of his
WemmTks, Mr. MacIntyre said that
when the committee called upon Jilm
-with the. Invitation to make the ad
dress, he reminded them that he
had delivered the memorial address
not many years ago, and he feared
he had used up his ammunition. He
explained that the committee re-
Blind to him that it would make no
' 'difference If he delivered a part of
athe same address, Inasmuch as the
ladles had forgotten all he had said
on the former occasion. He desired'
to know from them then which part
his former address proved the
most Interesting, th* Introduction,
-Abo argument or the conclusion.
The committee promptly replied
•“the conclusion."
The speaker said that the time
had passed when southerners npol-
•oghe for seceding. He referred to
Tflstory, showing that the doctrine
of secession was' first promulgated
by New England, and that the south
ana acting entirely within her rights
snider the constitution' in seceding.
While .the south Sees this history,
ana knows It, and the north sees
Jt and partly recognixes X it, foreign
(countries have not even yet come
(to appreciate the status of affairs,
flfr. MacIntyre told of a question
■.naked him last summer In England
!t*y si native of that Isle, who bad
-.merer visited the States. The Eng-
.ashman desired to know what we
bad done with that crowd of rebels
that had tried to secede from the
government over here and set up
another government Mr. MacIn
tyre propmtly replied that some of
them we hadn't done anything with,
bat that most of them we bad sent
:to congrqp* or the state legislature.
The Musical Features.
The musical features of the pro-
'gram wore especially well rendered.
The quartette composed of Misses
. 'Carroll and Hart and Messrs. Davis
and Speight, sang "Tenting on the
Old Camp Ground," and so good
was their rendition of It that the
audience would have been content
to listen to them alone for the full
hour. Miss Heeth was at her best
In singing “The Bugle Call." Miss
Carroll led the veterans In singing
Capt. Tip Harrison's famous yompo-
• sltlon, "The Old Time Confederate.”
The vets Joined In with a hearty
...good will.
Crosses Awarded.
Announcement wns made that
-crosses of hqtof had been awarded
to W. J. Dunlap, T. W. Braswell.
. Dawson Collins,- Malachl Collins, I.
C. Burton, L. R. Rehburg, T. A.
Singletary, and Silas Snodgrass.
Only two of this number were pres
ent, and the crosses were presented
them by Misses Frances Chisholm
.and Blanche Ainsworth.
Abundant Dinner.
The Daughters of the Confedera-
*7 had prepared nch t dinner as
only they know how to prepare. It
was not a "hand out” nor a lunch,
Memorial Exercises.
Immediately after the dinner, the
veterans, and a considerable sprink
ling of the general public, repaired
to the court room of the court bouse,
to carry out a memorial of the mem-
here of W. D. Mitchell Camp who
have gone over the river.
Messrs. T. A. White, J. M. Dekle
and M. A. Fleetwood had been ap
pointed by Commander Hansell to
draw up suitable resolutions and
to arrange a time for their presen
tatlon/ Mr. White presented the
resolutions, reciting the names of
the members of the camp who have
died since Its organisation, and de
ploring their loss In eloquent and
touching language. Mr. White was
liven the floor to speak on the res-
ilutlons, and for fifteen minutes he
talked upon the glorious deeds of
the dead and of their fellows. In
the course of his remarks Mr. White
polated to his confederate cross
and said that he would rather be a
worthy wearer of that badge of
honor than to be the son of the
mightiest monarch of the times.
After Mr. White had concluded
Captain W. M. Hammond was
'ailed to the floor, and he too, most
entertainingly accepted the honor.
Captain Hammond called upon the
veternna to rally to the duties of
citizenship and drive out graft and
rascality.
The resolutions were adopted unani
mously by a rising vote.
The names of the departed vete
rans nre Frank Hudson, W. P.

MANY HOMES MADE HAPPY.
Epworth League Box Carries Joy and
Comfort to Hungry Heart*
The committee who had In charge
the preparation of the Epworth'

nounced the result of their efforts.
Besides the Vashtl Home, and one
or two other organizations, thirty
two families were helped. The con
tents of the box were valued at
about two hundred dollars.
The Epworth League has made a
habit for aeveral years of sollclt-
h»g . contributions for the poor at
CbjHstmas. The- contributions are
asked from all denominations, the
League merely fostering and car
rying out the chalrty. Their active
Interest hat enabled many homes
to be filled with Christmas cheer.

box, but a charitable public will
more desire to thank the League
tban to be thanked by It.

*30 REWARD.
E above picture of the
man nnd fish is the trade
mark ofScott’sEmulsion,
and is the synonym for
strength and purity. It is sold
in almost all the civilized coun-1
tries of the globe.
If the cod fish became extinct j
it would be a world-wide colam-;
ity, because the oil that comes
from its liver surpasses all other
fats in nourishing and life-giving
properties. Thirty yearn ago
the proprietors of Scott’s Emul
sion found a way of preparing
cod liver oil so that everyone can
take it and get the full vulue of
the oil without the objectionable
taste. Scott’s Emulsion is the
best thing in the world for weak,
backward children, thin, delicate
people, and all conditions of
wasting and lost strength.
A reward of fifty dollars will be
paid by the undersigned for the ar
rest with proof to convict any person
guilty of a criminal trespass on the
following land In Thomas county,
Ga., to wtt; Lots 3. 4, 5. 37, 38.

The L. and M. Paint Is best and

It only requires 4 gallons of this
celebrated paint and 3 gallons of
Linseed Oil at 60 cents per gallon to
