pleasant Is the celebration of the an
niversary of the birth of General
Robert E Lee which la held each

speech by some leading cltlsen Is
mode followed by music, songs and
ths delivery of the crotses of honor,
the exercises concluding with a boun
tiful dinner at which everything good
to sat and palatable Is served to all
the worthy Confederate veterans.
This year Capt. W. J*. Hammond

speech betides being a literary treat,
was a patriotic tribute to the nobll
lty of character, stainless purity of
life, unselfish devotion to principle
and to duty and the unswerving n-
dellty of General Lee.

One of the beat features of the oc

Confederacy led by Miss Evelyn Mal

At the conclusion of Capt. Ham

Those chose tho inspiring old tunes

much applause nod cheering from
them.

No effort was spared to tee that
the veterans had plenty to eat And
they bad It, for when the ladles of
the John B. Gordon chapter of
Daughters of the Confederacy take
bold of anything It goes without say

They are to be congratulated on the
excellent manner In which they
handled yesterday’s celebration.
Miss Etta Reid the president of the
chapter Is to be complimented tor
her splendid efforts.
Ye editors were particularly hon
ored on this occasion. They were
invited to the dinner, and two of the
prettiest waitresses of the occasion
were appointed to see their every
want was gratified.
Capt. Hammond's Address.
The feature of the celebration was
the address of Captain Hammond. It
was a masterful' effort. Among oth
er things he said.
“When bereavement Is fresh and
hearts are full and hopes are crush
ed; sorrow finds Its beet expression
In silence, and the stricken soul
seeing In time no gain to match Its
mighty loss, wraps Itself in unsocial
Rotation and bids all the earth keep
.lienee before Its overmastering sor
row.
“But when time has mitigated the
first bitterness of grief, we seek
solace and sometimes find it In hold
ing open communion with others,
and then the sense of loss expresses

men with 428 pieces of artillery; by
62,000 Confederates using 170 gdna.
But I must hasten on to what will
prove more enjoyable to this humane

Earthly Virtues.
"Should any member of this au
dience of average Intelligence and
candor be called un to enumerate
the qualities that must combine to
make men truly great; there would
be no hesltalon in opening the cat
alogue with truthfulness, and In or

have next place, and then In fair suc

bined go far to lift human character
to tho farthest summit of excellence

Captain Hammond then allowed

Leo’s Death,
In speaking of General Los’s death
Captain Hammond used the language
of a man who knew him personally
nnd was associated with him at
Washington and Lee University.
“At the last moment finding him
self face to face with the king of ter
rors. with the strong Instinct of tho
beleagured warrior, * he gave his
laai command: “Strike the tent;'tell
Hill he must come up" and then his
voiceless lips closed forever, like the

shadows to the realities of eternity.”
Captain Hammod closed hls ad
dress with an appeal to the old
soldiers of the Confederacy to stand
for the old tradition, and with an
estimate of President Roosevelt.
In this appeal to the old soldiers
he said: “The states were before
the conferedation, the confederation
before the constitution, and before
either the confederation or the con
stitution was born the states were
sovereign, separate, Independent and
supreme over their own affairs and
within their own jurisdiction.”
Sstimatc of Roosevelt.
This brought the speaker up to
the question of the present tendency
towards centralization of our govern
ment, and the part that is being play
ed In this movement by President
Roosevelt.
Hls estimate of the president was
as follows:
“Thus far he seems to at as de
lighting In power, but capricious In
the use of it.
“As one possessing ability* but not
of the highest order.
“Impnltlre, but not well balanced.

STOCK MARKET OFF.
But Few Moles Are Being Sold In
Moultrie.
The mule trade has not been so
heavy In Moultrie this season.' Es
pecially that class of mules, nsed In
farming.
A prominent horse and mule deal
er said to the Observer this morning
that as a rule the farmers are al
ready laoded up with stock, bought
at big prices a year ago and this has
not been pntd for yet » will tako
those who bought last season anoth-
er year to get out of debt and they
are In doubt about the aort of crop
year we will have thla year.
It Is Impossible'to Increase th#
size of their farms, for labor Is not
obtainable and therefore very few
more mules are really needed. There
is of courte the usual demand for
large mules among saw mill men
and turpentine operators.—Moultrie
Observer.
More Evangelists.
It would seem from the number of
traveling evangelists that flock to
Thomasville that the town Is on tho
broad road that lends to destruc
tion. A party of them were here
yesterday, following close upon the
heels of Elenberg's gospel band.
None of tho Itinerants are apostles
of raco suicide. There were about
half a dozen children with the out
fit here yesterday.
-Generous In his friendships, but
despotic in his purposes.
"His private character seems bet
ter than hls public conduct.
“Hls fortune greater than hit
fame, and he would be deemed more
worthy of hls great office had he
never possessed It.”
Mrs. Malinda Akers, of Basham, Va,, writes:
“I had what doctors call ‘prolapse,’ and couldn’t
stand straight. 1 had pain in my back and 1
shoulders, and was very irregular and profuse.
Doctors said an operation was needed, but I
couldn’t bear the thought of the knife. After tak
ing three bottles of Wine of Cardui, I could walk
around. Can now do my housework and am in
splendid health.”
Girdui is a pure, vegetable, medicinal essence,
especially adapted to cure women’s diseases. It
relieves excessive periodical pains, regulates
irregularities, and is a
safe, pleasant and re
liable remedy for all
sick women, in suc
cessful use for over 70
years. Try it.
