Boston, Jan. 1.—An attempt to
dynamite the state house here failed
today when the flame on a tarred fuse
attached to a bomb containing four
f ounds of explosives died out before
reaching the detonator.
The bomb, evidently the work of a
novice, was discovered by a scrub
woman, attached to the basement
door.
The police said that had the bomb
exploded the capitol would have been
badly damaged.

’Cueing With the Vets of Sixties
By Chas. E. Martin.
■ AV« -had- -hardly reached the office
for the day’s work yesterday when
the telephone rang and we were in
vited to join the Veterans of ’61-65 at
the annual barbecue given them by
the citizens of Athens and served at
Delmar’s.
It was Saturday, and a busy day but
we could not resist the opportunity of
’cueing with this noble band.
* * .*
Although the ranks have been thin
ned until there is hardly a corporal’s
guard left, every year 4he sentiment
and reverence for those who wore
the grew are. growing more tender and
to see the silver-haired heroes of
Gettysburg, Ocean Pond, Seven Pines,
Fredericksburg, Chicamauga and a
hundred other battlefields sit down
and receive but a humble token of
love from those of this generation
who know nothing of the suffering
and sacrifice made for us, is a priv
ilege to be enjoyed: to hear them tell
of the stirring, terrible days from ’61
to ’65 is an inspiration; to see them
happy now in this t me when all the
memories of four years of hellish liv
ing is again brought vividly before
them by pictures of another terrible
war, is a joy.
* * *
We had dinner with half hundred of
these brave survivors yesterday; we
sat next to a white haired veteran
wU0 in ’65, wounded and sick, paid
two dollars for a piece of pie In a
camp hospital, so hungry was he. But
he did not complain, he did not com
plain then but he did remark that
barbecued pork and steaming Bruns
wick stew would have been priceless
in that hospital.
« • •
Every year the grey line gets thin
ner and thinner and now only those
who entered the war at a very young
age survive and few of those who
were seriously wounded are left and
one terrible thing that come before us
while watching these old vets was
that the many millions wound
ed in war, though not fa
tally, have their life and efficiency so
greatly discounted. They are the first
to meet the old command in another
field of battle and the millions there
must be in Europe even now who are
all but sacrificed though they may live
for many years yet.
• • •
It was coincidental that following
the barbecue the management of the
Elite theater should invite the old
veterans to see a picture that was
dramatized from a story of the Civil
YVar. Confederate flags were draped
over the entrance of the theater and
when the followers of Lee and Ja,ck-
son got inside they found many
scenes that carried them back to Vir
ginia and Maryland. Our old friend,
Mr. J. F. Payne, who for years has
called on the University boys for their
monthly dormitory rent and is known
to hundreds of them over the state,
and Mr. Joe Woods, were wont to
give the rebel yell when the scene
showing the “Yankees” being driven
out of Frederick, Maryland, was flash
ed on the screen.
• * •
These two Athens’ Vets were mem
bers of the first Confederate company
that entered the town as the Yankees
fled and in their faces could be read
the thrilling joy that came to them
when before their charges the enemy
was being routed. We have had
a bit of amateur soldiery experience
ourself and have anxiously awaited
the order to charge on even an imag
inary enemy, but it takes the expres
sion of bravery, love, loyalty and pa
triotism of these, veterans of Dixie to
make a fellow believe that he would
charge into the very mouth of a flam
ing hell for the principles he knew
were right.
We do not hesitate, we know we
