wusai Ac »occasion
with Fort V Valley 1 and vicinity and
scored another grand victory for the
unbounded hospitality of this sec¬
tion.
The occasion was the reunion of
the Association of Confederate Vet¬
erans and Sons of Confederate Veter¬
ans and the meeting of the State Hor
ticultnral Society, now in annual
session in this city.
At 10 o’clock the column was form¬
ed op Main street, composed entirely
of veterans and sons of veterans,
headed by the Fort Valley Cornet
Band and lead by the Perry Rifles.
The line of march was taken up
Main street to Church, thence up
Church to Miller and down Miller to
the First Baptist church.
The exercises were opened by a song
by the choir, after which a fervent
prayer was oflered.
Judge A. C. Riley, in a remarkably
happy speech, delivered the address
of welcome in behalf of the Veterans
Association, tbs city and surround¬
ing county . His speech was interest¬
ing and well received by the large
audience. lv
Then Judge J. H. Branham, the
master of ceremonies, in a beautiful
and appropriate speech, introduced
the orator o! the day, Judge Walter
(1 Beeks of Griffin.
Judge Beeks delivered one of the
finest orations ever listened to. It is
to be regretted that the speech can¬
not be had for publication, but in
lien of that a brief synopsis of some
of the most salient points is given.
Judge Beeks began by saying that
the Confederate soldier was the most
unique figure in all history, and his
was the only successful cause which
had so long defied oblivion, and his
name had longer been preserved in
the archives of a people’s memory
than that of any other defeated
soldier. His was an example of
greatness in adversity and triumph
in defeat.
He referred to Jeff Davis and his
triumphal march through the streets
of Macon as a recognition of the
righteousness of our cause. While
the victors of all ages had sought to
consign to an ignoble grave every
unsuccessful cause and vanquished
foe, it was reserved for the Confeder¬
ate soldier to commemorate the
cause for which he fought, and to the
veterans and memorial associations
to keep alive these grand principles.
He then went on to say that the
trying ordeals through which we
pttu fl bA r .i ifr. 1 n |y *- «*•■■■■ -
period were but the crucial processes
ot the readjustment of the sovereign¬
ty and equality of the states. This
is evinced today by our equal rights
of representation in the councils of
the nations. He denied any inten¬
tion to cart any dishonor upon
those who fought against us, and
claimed that the South was the
on
os-
worthy _ of his steel. He referred
to Governor Gordon as a bold,
brave, chiralric soldier and Lee’s
right arm in battle, and recalled
Gordon’s standing upon the field of
Gettysburg, soldiers ol both surrounded armies at the close
of sentiment the war, and which giving should expression least to
a at
command the admiration if not
soften the asperity of our enemies.
The speaker said that if it be
treason to love and admire the
characters of Robert. E. Lee, of
Stonewall Jackson and of Jeff Davis
and to revere their memories and the
cause for which they fought, then he
would claim no higher honor than
being called the arch traitor of the
world.
Proceeding, lie said the best civili¬
zation of ever country is evidenced
by its South highest products. George Wash¬
The produced
ington, Jeff Davis, Robert E. Lee.
These were the highest the products of
any country on earth, and by
their example he was ready to stand
or fall, live or die. Bravery and
chivalry, he said, were the inheri¬
tance of all mankind.
He denounced those craves spirits,
so-called men whose ill-gotten gains
were wrung from adowatrodden, pov¬
erty stricken, yet proud and haughty
people, who had expressed the wish
that the old soldier sentiment in the
South should be forgotten. He said
for such men to pass uncensured,
they must pass unobserved. In elo¬
quent terms be referred to the old
South and hernnequalled civilization
describing Southern in graphic gentleman, terms and an old-
timed such
civilization and such men to lead in

it was no wonder that the

He said that upon the preserva¬
tion of the sentiments of a people
depends its perpetuity the in history,
and urged upon younj* men of

tiful peroration, hoping that there
would be no more wars; but that
