THE EVENING GALL.
Vot X- No. 199
memorial day.
Interesting- Exercises at the Olympit
This Afternoon
The O yir.pic theatre wits fi led to tie
utmost capacity thia afternoon to pay
respect to the dead heroes of the Con
federacy. A larger and more appre
ciative audience never before aseetn
bled on a like occasion in Griffin.
The Ladies Memorial Association
anti Daughters of Confederacy deceive
great credit for the great success in
their arrangements for this occasion.
The stage in the opera house was
decorated most beautifully with flow
ers and evergeens
At 2 :40 o’clock the procession was
formed in front of the Griffin R'flee
Armory and marched to to the opera
house while the band played a beauti
ful and appropriate selection.
The procession was a very noticea
ble one, for the public schools were
more than three hundred strong, and
each child carried a bouquet of flowers
to be placed upon the grave of some
hero.
Capt. David J. Bailey called the au
dience to order, and announced the
opening of the exercises by a selection
from the bend, after which Rev. T. W.
O'Kelley offered up a very beautiful
prayer.
Hon. R T. Daniel then introduced
the speaker, in which he upheld the
true, loving custom of the South, in
paying tribute to her Confederate
dead. He said so long as the pure,
white flowers of spring shall blossom,
will the South decorate these graves
on Memorial Day.
Mr. Daniel said the Daughters of
the Confederacy and the Lillies Me
morial Association were most fortun
ate in securing as an orator on this
occasion Hon. Mr. Pace, of Covington,
whom he then introduced.
Col. Pace’s speech was an eloquent
piece of composition and oratory, as
was demonstrated by the perfect at
tention accorded him by hie large au
dience.
He said that thirty-three years ago
a day was inaugurated for the paying
of tributes to the Codfederate soldiers,
by a woman, and since that day it
had grown dearer and more beloved
in the hearts of the southern people.
The truest and highest tribute to these
men should be expressed not in words
but in silent emotions of the heart.
Col. Pace grew more eloquent as he
advanced in his speech, His compar
ison between the soldiers of the South
and those of the world brought loud
applause. The closing remarks and
tribute to the soldiers buried in our
cemeteries caused many an old veteran
to drop a tear in remembrance of the
days when men fought not for money
and glory, but for home protection
and rights.
Rev. W. G. Woodbridge then pro
nounced the benediction after which
the procession again formed and ad
journed to the soldiers cemetery where
the graves were decorated and salute 8
fired by the Griffin Rifles.

Signature of
Punishment Must be Severe.
Sam Hose has bsen caught and
dealt with in a manner that should be
a warning to all negroes. It should
be distinctly understood that it is the
wdi and intention of our men to pro
tect those who are dearer to our hearts
than life itself, at the cost of good rep
utation, and every one who is guilty
of the awful crime for which Hose was
executed will be disposed of in that
same way Even then it has no ten
dency to alleviate the crime it seems.
But were lynching done away with
entirely, and the law were to take
Us course, these horrifying atroci
ties would be perpetrated every day
and those women who are left at home
ln the rural districts when the bus
band is in the field would be in more
peril than now. Lynching, therefore,
dees to a considerable degree, check
the crime. In fact it is the only way
with which to deal with the inhu
mane brutes. The magnitude of the
time transcends the bonds of human
aw, and methods more severe must be
r ‘“ <rtedto. When the crime ceases
then lynching will cease. But the
* T omeu of this country must and shall

, CONFEDERATE VETERANS MEET
c The Resignation of Commander Han
leiter Was Not Accepted
s Spalding County Camp, No. 510, U.
y S. Confederate Veterans, met in the
- council chamber this moi ning at 10 :30
o'clock and was called to order by the
commander, Col. W. R Hanleiter.
The chair stated that the meeting
i was called for the purpose of taking
3 action in regard to the reunion to be
i held in Charleston on 11th, 12th and
. 13th ot next months, and to elect an*
s other commander of the camp. In
. tendering his resignation he was not
rebuking the camp for its lack of sup
s port, but thought some one else should
i be elected to the place of honor. It
i was not a wise policy to retain the
■ same officers indefinitely, and he
thought it would be better for the
camp to elect another commander.
> When Mr. Hanleiter took bis seal
I T. W. Flynt arose and said : “It is
f well known by all present that wo will
> not accept the resignation of our be
loved commander, so we will just pass
■ that matter by and proceed with the
i other business demanding our alien*
i tion.”
. Upon the motion of D. W. Patter
son, the resignation of Mr. Hanleiter
was not accepted.
Mr. Hanleiter said he would acqui
i esce in the matter until the camp
could secure a larger attendance, but
h» wished they had taken other action
in the matter.
An invitation from the Daughters
of the Confederacy was accepted to
join in the parade to the soldiers cem
etery in the afternoon.
A letter was read from the executive
- committee of the Charleston reunion
1 association, asking to be informed as
> to how many veterans from this camp
would attend the reunion.
The chair was authorized to appoint
i five delegatee to represent the camp
■ at the reunion, and announce their
names at next meeting.
T. W Thurman was appointed a
committee of one to secure appropriate
badges to be worn by ail members of
this camp who would attend the reun
ion.
B N. Barrow made an appeal to
those present to take more interest in
the meetings of the camp. He said
the old Confederate veterans could not
expect to be here long. They were
dropping out of the ranks at every
turn. He loved the old confeds and
wished he could meet with them often
er. There was not as much life in this
camp as there should be, and he was
in favor of getting up something to
bring the men together frequently.
D W I’atferson heartily endorsed
the wo r ds of Mr. Barrow, and suggest
ed that they give a big barbecue at
Camp Northen every summer—some*
time in July. They gave one, two
years ago, which was a grand success
and there would be no difficulty in
securing sufficient money to have an
other this summer.
Several other speeches wi re made,
and all were heartily in favor of hav
ing the barbecue, but action was des
ferred until next meeting, which will
be held on Saturday, May 6th, at 2
p. m.

GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL 26, 1899
NEGRO CARRIERS
Have Been Appointed for the Rural I
Delivery
It was staled in Salon!,i\F Nt,'B
that two negroes had been appointed
mail delivery carrieis and yesterday
morning Postmaster Hertz received
official notification from the first as
sistant postmaster general at Washing
ton that Martin L' gan and Charlie
Stubbs, two well known Macon ne
groes, have been appointed rural de
livery carriers in Bibb county, and
that the rural delivery would be in
augurated on May Ist.
Postmaster Hertz had previously ap
pointed Mrs. Lightfoot and Mr. W. J.
Hopper rural delivery carriers, but
Postmaster Hertz’s appointments have
been turned down by the authorities
at Washington, and the two negroes '
appointed in the place of Mrs. L : ght«
foot and Mr. Hopper.
Logan is now a janitor at the govern
ment building, and was formerly chair,
man of the Bibb county Republican
executive committee Stubbs lately
published a Republican weekly news
paper.
United Stales Senator Bacon and
Congressman Barlett left Macon last
Wednesday night for Washington on
business matters, among which was to
make a request of the postmaster gen
eral to revoke the order appointing
the two negroes
They saw the postmaster general
after the notification had been sent to
Postmaster Hertz, of the appointment
of the negroes, and Bacon and Bartlett
received assurances from the postmas
ter general which make them hopeful
that their request for white carriers
for the country districts will bo grant

Summer Time Approaches
Have you thought where you are going
this summer? No! Well, before it is too
late, let us call your attention to Salt Lake
City—the island city by the sea.
The late Col Cockerill once said to the
readers of the Cosmopolitan : “There are
three quaint and unique cities on the con
tinent, Quebec, St. Augustine and Salt
Lake,” and to this he might have truthful
ly added—and Salt Lake is the most
quaint and unique of them all.
To the visitor, it is all that Col. Cocker
ill describes it. To the summer resorter,
it offers sea bathing in < Ireat Salt Lake, a
mile above sea level, all the curative prop
erties of Hot Springs, Sulphur Springs,
etc. ; a delightful temperate climate with
cool nights ; a walk or drive through the
cannons and parks ; a glimpse of all that
is beautiful in nature, and all the advan
tages of a city of thrift, enterprise and
commercial supremacy.
'Die RioGrande Western Railway, with
its Colorado connections, the Denver A
RioGrande and Colorado Midland rail
roads, offer choice of three distinct routes
through the very heart of the Rocky
Mountains and the most magnificent scen
ery in the world—not excepting the ia
mous Alps. Those celebrated summer re
sorts, Colorado Springs, Manitou, Glen
wood Springs, eti , are located idon.t t? ; »
route, and stop-overs are permitted.
Low summer excursion rates t Salt
Lake City can be obtained from all cities
of the Union. Before deciding on your
summer outing, write for descriptive pam
phlets, etc., to E. Copeland, General
Agent, Bedford Building, Chicago, or F.

OWL HOLLOW ECHOES.
Owl Hollow, April 26—Prof. J. H j

Beckham, of Liberty Hill, Sunday.
Miss Leila Futral attended the box-party .
given by the Misses Swint, at Orchard’
Hill, Saturday evening.
Sir. and Mrs. Tcm Hiles visited the for
mer’s sister, Mrs. Gossett, Monday.
A good many of us attended the “tackey I
party" at which Miss Bertha Maddox was ;
was the graceful hostess, on last Saturday ;
evening.
Yes, that young man did go to “Fiori-j
da” Monday, but says he failed to tind 3 I
certain young ladies. He must remember I
that girls joke sometimes.
Without a doubt, some young man won ’
a heart Saturday evening. Wonder who !
it was?
Prof. Morris went to Griffin Saturday.
Can you tell us what has become of the
Orchard Hill correspondent? Moved to
Milner, I guess, with “rattle trap, twenty
cents” and all.
Eugene Ogletree visited friends near,
Semper Sunday atternoon.
Lon Beckham, of Liberty, called on Miss \
Leila Futral Sunday afternoon.
The writer saw one of Akin's Corner's
bright young ladkfs, sitting by the road- i
side Sunday morning, watching for that I
“ ” mad dog.
I heard some one say that “they” had j
the “jolliest, sweetest" time at the party ■
Saturday evening.
By the way, Prof. Morris didn't fail to
visit. Semper last Sunday afternoon.
