UROELYjITTENDED
Veterans Were Guests of U. D.
C., at Luncheon—Judge
Marcus W. Beck Deliv¬
ered Eloquent Oration.
Although more than fifty-four
years have receded down the
vast visitas of time since the
curtain fell on the tragic drama
at Gettysburg, interest in the
“Lost Cause” has not diminished,
as was evidenced by the splendid
tribute paid our confederate dead
and living on the occasional of
memorial day, which was observ¬
ed on Friday of last week.
From the garden of love, the
choicest flowers are plucked once
year and scattered with
spring’s most fragrant offerings
over the graves of the Confed¬
erate dead, in honoring whom we
do honor unto ourselves. This
annual event in memory of the
dauntless f beautiful heroes of the old south
s a custom and one
that will be maintained as long
as southern womanhood exists
to freshen memory’s garden with
its tokens of love. It is in keep¬
ing with the eternal fitness of
things that the pople of the south
should assemble annually to pay
merited tribute to the dead and
to honor the living, whose ranks
are growing thinner with every
passing year. One by one the
veterans are “crossing over the
river to rest in the shade of the
trees with the noble Lee, the
peerless Jackson, the Gallant
Gordon, the pugnacious Early,
the gay Stewart and the hun¬
dreds of other officers and com¬
rades who have preceded them to
the eternal camping groimd
where sweet peace shall reign
forever more.
No where in history, story or
, r
the Confederacy been equalled,
as was so interestingly related
bv Judge Marcus W. Beck last
Friiday in the most wonderful
address ever heard in Covington.
Veterans Guests at Dinner
The Veterans were the guests
of the United Daughters of the
Confederacy at a dinner at the
public library, from which place
the line of march was pursued to
the cemetery, where the graves
of the soldiers were decorated
with flowers by the school chil¬
dren following an invocation by
Rev. T. J. Christian, pastor of
the First Methodist church of
Covington.
The Address
At the church, immediately
after the return from the ceme¬
tery, Rev. J. B. Hcklen, of the
Presbyterian church, introduced
Judge Marcus W. Beck, of At¬
lanta, presiding justice of the
supreme court of Georgia, a son of
of the late Col. J, W. Beck,
the Forty-fourth Georgia Regi¬
ment and himself a veteran of
the Spanish-American Judge Beck war. stated
In opening, occupying the
that as he was
pulpit of a Methodist church, he
would take for his text, “Ye are
the salt of the earth.” The ora¬
tion was cosnidered the most
forceful, scholarly and illuminat¬
ing ever delivered before an
audience of Newton county peo¬ the
ple. Judge Beck spoke of
great world war just closed and
of the valiant achievements of
the soldiers from the south, the
sons and grand sons of the un¬
equalled soldiers whose reputa¬
tion they was sustaining. The
speaker stated that Southern
boys participated in all of the
great drives after the arrival of
the Americans in France and
that not another foot was Uncle gam
by the Germans after
Sam announced ready. of
Judge Beck spoke briefly
the period just before the de¬
claration of the war between the
states and of the cause leading
thereto, “the right from of a union soyerign to
state to secede a

privilege. his descriptions of the bat¬

Hon. Emmett Adams Requests
Assistance in Compiling
Record of all Who Died
Overseas.
Hon. Emmett W. Adams has
been requested by the state of
Georgia to furnish a list of the
names of the Newton county
boys who made the supreme
sacrifice in the latter world war.
The names of these boys, with
those of others, will be preserved
in bronze on the walls of the
state capitol in Atlanta, and it
is Mr. Adams desire to secure a
complete list for this purpose.
All parents, relatives and
friends are urged to co-operate
in the compilation of this list,
which should be sent direct to
Mr. Adams at Mansfield for pub¬
lication in The News.
The list recently published in
the Atlanta papers, was not com¬
plete, and not one name should be
omitted from “the hall of love
and fame.” Everybody who
knows the name of a soldier who
was killed in France or who died
should communicate with Mr.
Adams at once. It would also be
a wise idea to forward the names
of the boys who died in the
American cantonments.
DR. HENRY B. MAYS AT
METHODIST CHURCH.
On next Sunday night Dr.
Henry B. Mays, presiding elder
of the Oxford district, will
preach at the Methodist church,
after which he will hold the sec¬
ond quarterly conference of the
year. Dr. Mays highly delight¬
ed the people by his preaching
and work as presiding elder on
his first visit to Milledgeville,
and will no doubt be heard by
a large congregation next Sun¬
day. The service will begin at
9 o’clock.—Milledgeville Union

Winchester.
In closing, Judge Beck paid
beautiful tribute to the women
of the Confederacy, stating that
every thing that could be said
of the Veterans was true of the
women of the sixties.
Judge Beck’s reference to his
only son, Marcus W„ Jr., who
was killed on the battle field in
France at the age of nineteen
was a pathetic part of his
address that aroused the sym¬
pathy of everybody present.
The address was a master
piece from a historic point of
view and The News regrets its
inability to publish it in full,
which was not possible as the
speaker had no copy.
The South’s Great Love
The love of the people of the
south for the Confederate Vet¬
eran who defended Dix and
southern rights to the last ditch
will never grow cold. As Judge
Beck pointed out, it is easy for
a successful army to fight, but
fighting today with the know
edge that surrender would prob¬
ably ensue on the morrow, reveal¬
ed the metal of which soldiers
are made.
All honor to the illustrous
names of Lee, Jackson, Johnston,
Gordon, Hood, Early, Evans and
the other officers of the Con¬
federate army, but it should be
remembered that their glorious
achievements were made pos¬
sible by the courage and patriot¬
ism of the private in the ranks—
the men behind the guns who
faced death gladly for four
bloody years in the preservation
of their constitutional rights.
The Veterans enjoyed the oc¬
casion in their usual appreeit
tive manner and were profuse in
their thanks to the Daughters of
the Confederacy, the orator of
day and all others who con
to the success of the
eKarc iKes.
