THE DEEDS OF THE
HERO LIVE FOREVER,
The week just past has been
vibrant with martial music, t'ra
graut with the sweetness of beau
tiful spring blossoms, and filled
with tender memories which clus
ter about that cause, the final
chapter of which was writ at Ap
pomattox.
Throughout the south, in city
and town, in village and hamlet,
wherever the story of a noble and
matchless past has been told to
the children and grandchildren of
men who wore the gray, there
the descendants of these heroes
have glorified the memory of
their splendid deeds on hard-!
fought battle grounds, by song
and speech, and the coverings of
the saintly dead, with the flowers
of the early spring time. Many
of the great schools of the south
are doing a worthy and righteous
work iu training the youth ot this
section to do public honor to the
memory of forefathers, who ilius
trated by achievement upon the
battle field the highest purposes
and principles of human endeav
or.
The tremendous lessons taught
by the courage and sacrifice of the
confederate soldier has proven
and will continue to prove, a
glorious incentive and inspiration
to the generations which have
come after them. No deed of
dauutless courage, no act of hero
ism and sacrifice is ever lost in
the great plan of human develop
ment.
The men of the sixties who
fought their way to imperishable
glory and renown, but were forc
ed to accept defeat after four
years’ service m the most wonder
ful,armies that the world has ever
known, now find that many of
the principles for which they
struggled in apparently hopeless
effort are dominant and control
ling factors in the progress and
prosperity of the American peo
ple.
The hundreds of noble veterans
who gathered in annual reunion
at Mobile during the past week
not only represented the rapidly
thinning ranks of what was once a
magmficient army, defeated bv
overwhelming numbers, but stood
out clearly etched upon the pages
of the great calendar of the cen
turies as the most heroic figures
in the history of the nation
Each recurring reunion finds
many courageous hearts have ceas
ed to throb with earthly hopes
and aspirations, and to pulsate
with joy because of the deathless
memories of achievements upon
fields of battle, beneath the Stars
and Bars, but each sacred anni
versary marks the entering into
eternal rest and reward of pure
hearted, clean-Bouled heroes, who
having fought all battles nobly,
have won a victor’s crown.—Ex.
VERDICT OF NOT GUILTY FOR
BULLOCH NEGRO.
Statesboro, Ga., April 30
Walter Mcßride, the negro charg
ed with shooting J. N. Thomas,
a white man of Pulaski, near here, l
after decoying him from his home
by setting bis blacksmith shop on
fire, was tried in the Superior
Court to-day and after an hour’s
deliberation the jury returned a
verdict of not guilty. Mcßride
made a free confession to Sheriff
Kendrick shortly after he was ar
rested, but claimed justification.
During the trial sensational
charges were brought out against;
Mr. Thomas, which led up to the
shooting.
Mr. Thomas, a merchant at I
Pulaski, discovered his black- j
smith shop on fire a month ago
and as he went to put it out he |
was fired upon, a load of buckshot
going through his thigh. While
he was in bed a few days after
the incident the borne and barn
with all his supplies were destroy
ed by fire, thought to be of incen
diary origin.
