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. Field Peas for Sale.
