sentiment in the following tribute ^ ^ ^ Col]ege in Balnbridge>
to the Confederate soldier, which beg j nnln g Wednesday morning
we publish because of its beautiful 1
spirit of truth and because ^"ap
peals to our own sentiments. The
Confederate hero and warrior is
fast passing away and too' much
cannot be said in humble com
memoration of his deeds of valor,
his sufferings and privations. But
here are the words of Editor Sto
vall; stronger than any that we
might add:
Some men regard the time
spent in war as a mere incident of
their lives, something to be for-
gotton and to put aside for more
pressing and more practical things,
Others look upon it as a sacred
and heroic chapter in their exist
ence and they never /discard its
principals or convictions. They
have no taste for compromise and
their natures repudiate the idea of
surrender. To them the senti
ment of “one flag, one country" is
in the past. They did not put
aside their reverence 'or the
Southern cross when arms were
stacked or flags were furled. They
are good citizens in time of peace;
but they always cherish the days
of ’61, because it was a time when
they put duty above selfishness
and marched to the heart beats of
a lofty patriotism. They are con
tent to have other people think as
they please and act as thgy please,
but they reserve the precious and
undying right to live by the old
standards and to be moved by the
ennobling inspiration of a day that
is no more. They do not use their
war record as political capital. It
is something too sacred for that.
They do not ask for pensions or
for civil promotion because they
did their duty for their state. To
most people the gray is a remi
niscence, a tattered grave cloth of
an epoch that is past. To them
it is a toga of dignity and honor.
Like Thomas Jefferson, who dress
ed in the old colonial habit long
after the era of a newer tashion
had brought modern habiliments
to young America, and preserved
the memory of old days fresh at
Monticello, so they cling to the
color if not to the insignia of the
Confederacy. To them the cross
of honor is a decoration above the
Victorian medal or the baton of
field marshal.

All parties desiring to teach in

are expected to take a special ex
amination.

Doings in Dougherty,
Sunday before last was one of
casualities in Dougherty county.
At Baconton Raymond Mullins
son of the Mayor, was fatally shot
by a drunken negro The mar
shal had called for volunteers to
aid him in arresting the negro,
and young Mullins readily re
sponded. The negro was wanted
for wife beating; was drunk, armed
and desperate. Mullins was among
the first to reach the home of the
negro and he had scarcely entered
before he was shot. The negro
escaped in the confusion but was
captured later. The excitement
was intense and the negro nar
rowly escaped lynching.
Early the same day in Albany a
negro burglar was caught redhand-
ed and about a dozen shots were
fired at him, only one taking effect
however. The wound is not fatal.
On Saturday night Joseph
Surles, of Albany, was shot and
fatally wounded by his friend,
Newt Holland. The particulars to
this affair cannot be gathered as
both men refuse to talk. Surles
states that he does not want Hol
land prosecuted.
With the addition of the shoot
ing scrape which occurred near
Albany about two weeks ago in
which affair six negroes were
• killed, the crime statistics for the
month of November in Dougherty
county will prove record breaking.
