quont Memorial Address
Memorial Day 1916 waa obaerved
in Tifton in a moat fitting manner,
the business houses closing at 1
o'clock so that everyone wishing
could attend the services, which
were held at the Methodist church.
Early in the morning a committee
of ladies had decorated the Confed
erato monument with wreath* of
flowers. The church was very beau
tiful in the U. D. C. colors, red and
white rosea and vines being used In
profusion. -
The program waa as follows!
2. Prayer—Rev. G. W. Mathews.
5. Piano Solo—Miss Adelaide Har-
grett
4. Reading—Miss Repass.
6. Quartette—A. M. S. Boys.
6. Reading, "Every Yoar”—Miss
Leila Gatchell.
7. Quartette—High School Boyx
8. Address—Rev. J. H. Jackson.
9. Trio, “Set tho Flag on Their
Graves”—Mrs. Harman, Mrs. Banks,
Mrs. Hendry.
The reading given by Misa Repast
was a Confederate story and was ap
propriate to the occasion, as were
all the other numbers.
The Confederate Veterans, be
tween ten and twelve in number,
were given seats of honor in front.
Rev. G. W. Mathews gave the in
vocation and also tho benediction.
The largo audioneo, which filled
tho church to Us capacity, never
heard a more able or scholarly ad
dress than that delivered by Rev. J.
H, Jackson. In days past.the Tifton
Daughters have called on noted ora
tors from many sections of tho South
to pay tribute to the dead of tho Lost
Cause on Memorial Day and soma of
Dixie’s-most gifted sons hav* re
sponded, but few have equaled, and
many did not approach In beautiful
language and axaltad thought tho ad-
dreas listened to Wednesday.
Mrs. Briggs Carson, Prutdept of
tho Chapter, introduced Mr. Jackson
with a faw very appropriate and hap
pily chosen words.
Mr. Jackson first apok* of the
origin of Memorial Day and our duty
to show reverence to departed
roes. For our right to remember tho
past, he gave several Biblical llluatra-
tlons. St Paul complimented Barak,
Gideon, Sampson and other heroes
for their valor in defending their
country, although they had boon dead
a thousand years.
W* as a nation have bean tardy
In doing juatico to the man who died
for tho nation's Ufa, as Uluatratad by
the belated bringing home of tho
body of John Paul Jone* from Franco
and of John Howard Payne from
Tunis. A nation that neglects it*
heroes la a nation of ingrates.
Deaplt* the monuments which dot
its surface, some of earth's greatest
and noblest men lie in unmsrked
graves. The dust of Moses, tho giver
of the law, lies at some spot un
known in tho land of Moab, and
many of the bravest and most chiv
alrous who fell in the line of battle
defending the South were buried
unmarked ditches in the earth made
sacred by their life’s blood. But
when Gabriel’s trump shall sound,
these men like Moses will rise to
their reward.
A glowing tribute was paid to the
Confederate Veterans and to those
present the speaker said, that it had
been their privilege to follow those
peerless leaders, Lee, Jackson, John
son, Gordon, but even these had gone
down in defeat. Now it is their priv
ilege to take up the banner of the
Great General, the pcerles3 Imman
uel, and follow him to certain vic
tory.
At the close of the program, Mrs.
Harman, Mrs. Holmes, and Mrs.
Briggs Carson took several of the
ladies and a quantity of flowers to
the cemetery where the graves of
those that wore the gray were dec
orated.
Several of the ladiea of tho Chap
ter had gone to the cemetery Tues
day afternoon and marked the graves
of the Veterans with Confederal*
flags.
London, April 27.—The Rebel* are still holding the pub
lic building* in Dublin, and street fighting continues.
London, April 27.—British reinforcement* were sent te
Ireland from Wales today.
London, April 27.—The heavy guns of the British warships
in the bay are trained on Dublin today.
It is believed however that the militaury authorities have
the revolutionary situation so well under control that it will not
be necessary to fire upon the city.
Although it is reported that a part of Dublin ha* been
sacked, it ia believed that the banka Me safe, as they are being
strongly guarded by troops, with machine guns.
A great many arrests are being made. All of the citizen*
of Dublin county are being disarmed and their houses searched.
Many newspapers have been suppressed.
There are now two hundred thousand British soldier* in
Ireland, land Great' Britain ia prepared to tend mote if it is
necessary.
Before the announcement of the Dublin riots the cables
told of the capture of Sir Roger Casement while trying to land f
a supply of arms from a Gorman auxiliary vessel disguised as
a neutral merchantman. The ship, which was convoyed by a
German submarine, was sunk.
Casement was formerly in the British West African Consu
lar service, but at the outbreak of the war became the leader
of the Irish separatist faction and went to Berlin to confer with
the Imperial authorities, it is said to open negotiations between
Germany and the anti-English party in Ireland.

Columbus, New Mexico, April 26.—Two Americans were
killed and three wounded. Six Mexicans were killed and six
teen wounded in an engagement between one hundred men
of Colonel Dodd’s cavalry and two hundred Villista troops near
Tomichic, Mexico, Saturday, states a wireless message received
here this morning.
Washington, April 27.—With the Carranzlsta Government
tottering to its fall, officials here expressed grave misgivings'
today as to the future relations of the United States with
Mexico. • •
Simultaneously with the reports that General Obregon is .
nearing the Mexican border to confer with Major Scott and
General Funston, came word today that Carranza is thought
to have sought refuge in flight from Mexico City, supposedly
for Vera Cruz.
Doubt is therefore cast upon the binding character of any '
negotiations with General Obregon; if he is acting for Carranza.
Amsterdam, April 27.—A semi-official statement; publish
ed in the Cologne Gazette, prepares the Germans for a partial
surrender to the United States’ demands on submarine war
fare.
The Gazette states that Germany will yield to tho United
States to balk the efforts of the Allies to gain the complete sup
port of this country.
Washington, April 27.—President Wilson accepted today
the resignation of Ambassador to Turkey Henry Morgcnthau.
His successor has not been announced but it is believed

Amsterdam, April 27.—The latest official casualty list pub
lished by Germany, shows the Prussian losses since the war be
gan at 2,518,204 men killed, wounded and missing.
This list does not include the Saxons, Bavarians or Wurt-
emburgs.
Note—The Saxony Bavarian and Wurtemburg troops
have done the heaviest of the fighting, both in France and Rus
sia.
Paris, April 27.—The German bombardments of Verdun
are increasing in violence. It is believed that the massed at
tacks, which usually follow such terrific cannonading, will be
launched tonight or Friday.
The Kaiser is anxious to capture Verdun by May 6th, the
Crown Prince’s birthday, and the fighting for the next nine days
is expected to be the fiercest of the war.
