Thk Georgia press met in Macon last

The pandemonium in the Kimball
house arcade Saturday afternoon was a

The lien Ilill statute just unveiled in

takes a personal inspection to convince
one of the fact. The horrible produc

President Davis’ Visit.
Saturday was a glorious day for At
lanta as well as the South generally.
Fully fifty thousand visitors thronged
the thoroughfares of the city fo? the pur
pose of witnessing the unveiling of the
Ben Ilill statue and greet the lion. Jef
ferson Davis, the first and only president
of the Southern Confederacy. The grand
old ehieftan, though weak and tottering
under the millstone of time, stood the
trip from his home in Mississippi re
markably well. Such an ovation was
never tendered mortal man and never
was an ovation more befitting. Though
it was a “Lost Cause,” the memory of
the grand old man is undying, as was at
tested in Atlanta Saturday by the hearty
expression of patriotic feeling towards
him.
The “bloody shirt” screamers of the
north may howl themselves hoarse —
political poltroons may do all in their
power to create campaign material out of
the allair, but it does not diminish in the
least the love we bear towards the grand
old ehieftan. Noble old gentleman, and
noble people who thus smoothes his path
way adown the other side of the hillside
of life.
The Sou tii loves her Jefferson Davis as
does the North loves her Abraham Lin
coln and U. S. Grant.
McCoy Convicted.
Our readers are familiar with the his
tory of the cold-blooded murder of Rev
enue Officer Kellett several months ago
and the capture of James McCoy under
suspicion of having committed the mur
der. Our townsman, Mr. H. C. Garrison,
it will be remembered, was the sole spirit
in causing the arrest of McCoy, and it
was through his efforts that he was cap
tured. McCoy was carried last week to
Walker court by Marshal Nelms, where
the trial came off. Mr. J. C. Maddox,
the Senator from this district, volunteer
ed his services in behalf of the prosecu
tion and from those who were present at
the trial we learn that no such argument
was ever heard in a court house, lie
feelingly referred to tlie horrible wounds
of the murdered man sustained by him
in fighting for the “Lost Cause,” and it
remained for one of his own countryman
to snuff’ out the life of a true soldier and
noble citizen. The jury was brought to
tears by the elegant language of the tal
ented gentleman. Mr. Will Glenn de
fended the prisoner but all his efforts
were unavailing. The jury returned in a
few hours with a verdict of murder in
the first degree without recommendation
to mercy, which means that a hanging
will take place soon. A motion was
made for anew trial which will be heard
in a few days. Calvin Young, the prin
cipal witness for the prosecution testified
that McCoy approached him soon after
he had murdered Kellett, and, levelling
a double-barrelled shotgun to his head,
made him swear that he would never dis
close the awful crime, threatening, if he
did so, that he would kill him. Kellett
had Young under arrest when he was so
brutally murdered.
Integer Vitae.
It is seldom that the words in which
the poet-laureate of the Eternal City
described his noble friend can be affirmed
of any mortal. To say that a man is
“inter vitae scelerisque pttrue” is to
ascribe to him in one breath all the vir
tues of perfect manhood. While not
coming up to the full measure ot this ex
alted encomium (what human can?) one
Georgian approaches it preeminently.
Pure in purpose, noble iu character,
lofty in motive and upright in conduct,
the name of Campbell Wallace ranks
with the bravest and the best.
But it is on the latest work of this me
morable life that his fame is most securely
built. It is as chairman of the Georgia
Railroad Commission that he has deserv
ed the respect and plaudits of the people
of thiscommonwealth. He has been just,
Impartial and brave: just, in hearing the
intricate-questions between the railroads
and their patrons; impartial, in their de
cisions; and brave in executing them.
This article is suggested by the recent
cases of John N. Dunn et. al. versus the
E. TANARUS., V. Ga. R. R. et. al., in which
some merchants of Atlanta made com
plaint before the commission of the in
jurious discrimination which the several
railroad companies were making against
Atlanta. These roads demurred to the
complaint on the ground that the com
mission had no power to interfere with
the charges between points one of which
was out of this State anti one in the State.
After mature deliberation, the commis
sion unanimously decided to hear the
complaints, thus over-ruling the de
murrer.
This establishes tlie rule that the com
mission will keep its doors open to com
plaints of unjust discrimination. They
will be henceforth open to the cry of the
oppressed merchants of the State. No
deaf ear will be turned to them. Long
may the commission stand and exercise
its benificent sway lor justice to the rail
roads and the people, and deliverance to
the oppressed!
The strikes over the country seem to
be increasing at a fearful rate. Every
day new demonstrations are held in the
northern and western cities. Imless
some measure is adopted soon the work
ing people of the country will be at the
very verge of starvation. Arbitration
seems to be the only recourse and it is
hoped that matters will be adjusted soon.
One tiling certain this state of affairs
cannot last long.
An Atlanta correspondent of the Au
gusta Xeios writes that “it is rumored on
the streets that if Gen. Gordon makes
the fight for Governor, Judge Simmons
will retire from the contest in favor of
Major Bacon.”
THE “GRAND OLD MAN.”
Speech of Ex-Presiileiit Jefferson Davis at
Montgomery.
Ex-l’resident Jeflerson Davis’s speech
at Montgomery on the occasion of the
laying of the corner stone of the Confed
erate monument on Thursday will be
read with interest by every true Southern
man and woman who is given the oppor
tunity. Mr. Davis was preceded by
Gov. Watts, who, at the conclusion of
his speech introduced the Confederate
Chieftan as follows:
Now fellow-citizens I desire to intro
duce to you this grand old man. I de
sire to say to you why we love him. We
love him because he has ever been true
to constitutional government. We love
him because he has ever been true to the
people of the South, and we love him,
above all, because in time of misfortune,
in prison at Fortress Monroe, his hands
were crossed and manacled for Southern
blood, [long applause], and hence we love
him. Now, (Mr. Davis here took his
position besides the speaker), I desire
to present you to our Alabama people,
and you must permit me to say, fellow
citizens, that in all my reading of an
cient and modern history I have never
read of a single man who possessed the
sterling qualities of Jeflerson Davis.
[Long and repeatedly renewed applause
as ex-Governor Watts ended and Mr.
Davis stood forth.]
The scene as Mr. Davis arose and
grasped the hand of his old Attorney
General was affecting. It was some
moments before he could proceed as
the cheers were again and again re
peated.
MR. DAVIS’ WORDS.
When there was sufficient quiet Mr.
Davis said :
It is deeply gratifying to me to be pre
sented to you by one on whom I leaned
for advice when ad vice was wanted,
whose sterling qualities always made me
sure that the judgment he was drawing
was from the bottom of his heart.
When you called him away a place was
missing which he filled, and I have al
ways desired to lay my hand on him
again. [Doing so. Applause.] Thus
it was when we met the other night after
years of separation. Some people in the
room gave a sardonic smile to see two old
weather beaten men embrace, but our
hearts were young, though our heads
were old. Associated here, with so many
memories thrilling and tender, I have
felt that it were dangerous for me to
attempt to speak to you as my heart
would prompt me, not that I am always
treasuring up bitterness against any one,
but 1 am overflowing with love and ad
miration for our beloved people. [Ap
plause.] To avoid, therefore, anything
which might be prompted by the fullness
of my heart, for I believe I am case har
dened in that condition of non-citizen
ship, which leaves me very little to fear
[applause] for the purpose ot guarding
others rather than myself. I have pre
pared some notes that I might read
which would not contain anything that
would be constructive or hurtful.
[Voices —“Go on; say what you please.
You are in the House of your friends.”]
A SACRED TASK.
My friends, partners in joy and in
sorrow, in trials and suffering, I have
come to join you in the performance of a
sacred task —to lay the foundation of a
monument at the cradle of the Confed
erate government which shall commemo
rate the gallant sons of Alabama who
died for their country, who gave their
lives a free-will offering in defense of
the rights of their sires, won in the war
of the Revolution, and the State sover
eignty, freedom and independence which
was left us an inheritance to their pos
terity forever. These rights the com
pact of the Union was formed not to de-
stroy, but better to preserve and perpet
uate. Who so denies this, cannot have
attentively read the articles of confedera
tion or the constitution of the United
States. The latter was formed and de
signed better to effect the purpose of the
first.
THE EVENTS OF THE WAR.
It is not my purpose to dwell upon the
events of the war. They were laid be
fore you yesterday by that great soldier
in so able a manner as to require no sup
plement from me. They were laid be
fore you by one who like Aeneas “cuneta
quorum vidi ct magna pars fui .” Gen.
John B. Gordon was a soldier who,
when our times seemed darkest at Pe
tersburg was selected by his Chieftain,
Lee, as the man to lead the charge to
repel the b esieging army, to make a
sortie and attack in the flank and re
verse, to double up Grant's army and if
I may say so in his presence failed, but
his failure was due to the failure of his
guides to carry him where he proposed
to go.
CALLED AT API’OMATTOX.
Again, that man and gallant soldier
was the one person whom Gen. Lee
called at Appomattox when he wanted
to know whether it were possible to
break the line that obstructed his retreat
towards the mountains of Virginia. He
answered that it was impossible; that
after four years of hard fighting his di
vision was worn down to a fragment. . It
being then impossible to break the line
that obstructed his march to the moun
tains, Gen. Lee, like Gen. Washington,
without showing perhaps that Gen.
Washington ever used the expression,
said if lie could reach the mountains of
Virginia, he could continue the war for
twenty years. But when he found that
the line which obstructed his retreat
could not be broken he said there was
nothing to do but surrender.
lee’s WORDS TO GRANT.
Be it remembered that Lee was not
a man who contemplated surrender as
long as he had power to fight or retreat,
and when he came to the last moment
of surrender he said to Gen. Grant: “I
have come to treat with you for the pur
pose of surrender, but, Gen. Grant, un
derstand, I will surrender nothing that
reflects upon the honor of my army.”
Gen. Grant, like a man, said he wanted
nothing that would have that effect, and
that Gen. Lee might draw up the papers
himself. It is not my purpose either to
discuss political questions, on which. my
views can elsewhere and in other times
been freely expressed, or to review the
past except in vindication of the charac
ter and conduct of those to whom it is
proposed to do honor on this occasion.
STANDING BY HIS COLORS.
That we may not be misunderstood by
such as are not willfully blind, it may be
proper to state in the foreground that we
have no desire to feed the fires of sec
tional hate, while we do not seek to
avoid whatever responsibility attaches
to belief in the righteousness of our
cause and in tlie virtue of those who
risked their lives to defend it. [Long
applause and cheers.] Revenge is not
the sentiment of a chivalrous people and
the apothegm that forgiveness is more
easily to the injured than to those who
inflict an injury has never had a more
powerful illustration than in the present
attitude of the two sections towards each
other. Policy, in the absence of mag
nanimity, would have indicated that in
tlie restored union of the States there
should have been full restoration of
equality, privileges and benefits as
they pre-existed. Though this has not
been the case yet, you have faithfully
kept your impoverishment have borne
equal burdens without equal benefits.
PROUD OF HIS I’EOrLE.
I am proud of you, my countrymen, for
fc this additional proof ot your fidelity and
pray God to give you grace to suffer and
be strong. When your children's chil
dren shall ask what means this monu
ment there will be the enduring answer.
“It commemorates the deeds of Ala
bama’s sons, who died that you and your
descendants should be what your fathers
in the war of independence left you,
Alabama asserted the right proclaimed
in the declaration of independence as be
longing to every people.
CAUSE OF THE UNPLEASANTNESS.
She found that the compact of the
union had been broken on one side and
was, therefore, annulled; that the gov
ernment of the United States did not an
swer the ends for which it was instituted,
and with others of like mind proceeded
to form anew confederation, organizing
its powers in rhe language of the Decla
ration of Independence in such form as
seemed to them most likely to effect their
safety and happiness. This was not a
revolution, because the State government
having charge of all domestic affairs,
both of person and of property, remained
unchanged. To call it a revolution is
gross solecism, [applause] as sovereigns
never rebel, and as only sovereigns can
form a national league. If the States
had not been sovereigns there could not
have been a compact of union. [Ap
plause.]
WAR NOT WANTED.
That the South did not anticipate,
much less desire, war, is shown by the
absence of preparation for it. as well as
by the efforts made to secure a peaceful
separation. The successful party always
holds the defeated responsible for war.
But when passion shall have subsided,
and reason shall have resumed her do
minion, it must be decided that the gen
eral government had no constitutional
power to coerce a state, and that the State
had a right to repel invasion. It was a
national and constitutional right. [Ap
plause.] From the early part of the cen
tury there had been prophecies anjl
threats of dissolution of the Union.
These began at the North on the question
of preserving the balance of power and
culminated during the war of 1812 on
the decline of their trade, though the
war was waged for the protection of sail
or’s rights.
WENT TO THE NORTH.
In the course of years the balance of
power passed to the North and that
the South, despairing of a peaceful en
joyment of their constitutional rights in
the Union, decided to withdraw from it,
this without injury to their late asso
ciates. The right to withdraw was de
nied and the North made ready for war.
The distant uautterings of the storm were
readily understood by the people of Ala
bama. Gray-haired sires and beardless
boys, all unprepared as they were, went
forth to meet the storm ere it burst upon
their homes and their altars.
NO LEADERS NEEDED.
It required no Demosthenes to arouse
them to the duty ot resisting the inva
ders, no Patrick Henry to prepare them
for the alternative of liberty or death. It
was the people, not the leaders, who re
solved and acted. One sentiment in
spired all classes, yet I believe there were
very few who did not regret the necessi
ty which left them no alternative between
fighting for their State or against it.
Mothers, wives and daughters, choking
back their sobs choeretr them on the path
of honor and duty. With fearless tread
these patriots, untrained to war, advanc
ed on many battle-fields to look death in
the face. Though Alabama, like Niobe,
must mourn her children in death, yet is
her woe tempered by the glorious halo
which surrounds their memory.
DEAD ON THE FIELD OF HONOR.
For more than a century after his death
it is said that Phillip Delagone’s name
was borne on the roll of the Grenadiers to
whom he belonged, and when his name
was called it was answered from the
ranks: “Mort snrle cham d’honneur.”
Long, very long, would be the list which
would contain the names of Alabama’s
sons whose valor and fidelity would jus
tify the same response. To name a lew
would be unjust to many. They are all
therefore left where they securely repose,
in the hearts of a grateful people. This
monument will rest upon the land for
which they died and point upward to
the father who knows the motives as well
as the deeds of his children and at the
last resting in the land where justice
may be rendered which may have been
denied them here.
DUTY OF THE HOUR.
In conclusion, permit me to say though
the memory of our glorious past ever be
dear to us, duty points to the present
and future. Alabama having resumed
her place in the Union, be it yours to
fulfill all the obligations developing upon
all good citizens seeking to restore the
general government to its pristine purity,
and, as best you may, to promote the
welfare and happiness of your common
Country. [Long continued applause.]
Citizens of Alabama and ladies [facing
the ladies on the stand], for to whatever,
side you may belong it is your sex that
has been true always in war and desola
tion, we hear of the valor and virtues and
enduring names of Spartan mothers, but
tell me where in all the history of nations
was ever such a spectacle seen as was
witnessed in the valley of the Shenan
doah?
OUR BRAVE LITTLE BACKERS.
llow the tide of war ebbed and flowed.
Sometimes the Confederates retreated
and sometimes they pursued. Those peo
ple who claimed to be our brethren had
burned everything except the fences —.”
[Ex-Gov. Watts (interrupting): “And
they would haye burned them had they
not been stone.”]
Mr. Davis turned and smilingly con
tinued :
And why do you suppose they did not
burn the fences? Because they were
stone. [Loud applause.] And yet there
never was a time when a Confederate
body of troops marched down that valley
that the ladies did not hang out little
Confederate flags from their windows and
give bread to the hungry soldiers.
[Tremendous applause.] I have promised
I would not speak extemporaneously and
I will not do it. God bless you, one and
all. I love you all from the bottom of
my heart, and give you thanks now for
your kindness. [Tremendous and long
continued applause and cheers.]

HUNNICUTT’S
RHEUMATIC
CURE.
“ PRESTO ! CHANCE ! ” Judge Pullum Says:
“ Tli© Effect is Magical ! ”
Judge Thomas Pullum said last week in the presence of a reporter:
“My wife had been for many years a constant sufferer from rheumatism, Her joints were swol
len and distorted, great knots had formed upon her hands. She could only with great difficulty
and pain manage to walk, and was a constant sufferer from this dreadful disease. We tried
everything we could read or hear of, and took advice of eminent practitioners without any benefit
in the way of permanent relief. I was induced to try Hunnicutt’s Rheumatic Cure a short time ago,
although I had lost faith in patent medicines and nostrums, and considered her case incurable,
“The effect was magical; the pains have entirely vanished; the swelling and distortion of her
joints have disap)>eared, and the disease has been, I verily believe, eradicated from her system.
She is still using the medicine as a precautionary m< asure, as her general good health is being
restored by it. I can honestly and fearlessly recommend Hunnicutt’s Rheumatic Cure as thu liest
medicine for rheumatism and the blood upon the market.”

wrecked the train and sent it down a steep em

through the mountains. He lighted a torch and
started down the track before the approaching
train. Waving his flambeau he succeeded in
stopping the train at the peril of his own life.

From Good Housekeeping.}
A woman whose pretty hands are be
ing ruined by washing in hard water
writes to ask a remedy. Water can be
easily softened with a few drops of am
monia, or what is better a small piece of
lump borax. Warm water into which
enough borax has been dissolved to make
the water feel a little slippery when
pressed between the thumb and Anger is
very good for washing the hands. Hands
kept dirty are never smooth and white.
Absolute cleanliness is necessary. Many
people who do not work wash their hands
but seldom. The day’s accumulation of
dirt is allowed to remain on the hands all
night. Upon rising the hands are washed
in cold water. The possessor wonders
why, when she does no work, her hands
do not look any better, it as well, as her
chambermaid’s. The hands should al
ways be washed in warm soapsuds before
goiag to bed. White soaps are safest.
Highly scented and colored soaps are al
most invariably made from ranoed and
ill-smelling fati. After the hands are
thoroughly dried use a few drops of
mized glycerine and camphor, which the
druggist can prepare for you. Drop into
the palm of the hand and rub on the
hands. This will be all that will be nec
essary to show decided improvements.
OF INTEREST TO LADIES.
The new treatment for ladies’ diseases
discovered by Dr. Mary A. Gregg, the

mon to the sex who sends her address and

female diseases and the free trial package

permanent cure. Full directions ac
company the package (which is put
up in a plain wrapper) also price list
