Ladies, Gentlemen, Veterans of the
Civil War:
■
One bright April morning 59 years
‘
ago tlie First shot was iired i
greatest tvatm-ulal , , war the .. world . , has , |
ever known. 2,800,000 men enlisted
from first to last under , tin* ,, . banner of
the Stars and Stripes, while .. 800,000 „ ,,, .
of the bravest and most loyal men that
ever shouldered a musket, marched to
the front to offer themselves willing
sacrifices on the altar of the Southern
cause.
And when at last the smoke of bat¬
tle hud cleared, when the roar of can¬
non and musketry had ceased, when
Lee's tattered and torn ranks were so
s ally decimated as to render it folly
to continue longer the uneven strug¬
gle, and when with bowed heads and
broken hearts the surrender was final¬
ly consummated at Appomattox, il was
found that 450,0()0 valiant men had
poured out their life’s blood on many
hard fought fields of battle.
And friends, 'let us now, with rev¬
erent hearts and uncovered heads fol¬
low these brave sons of ours for a lit¬
tle while, in order to understand and
appreciate more fully the hardships en
t,tiled and the stitiering gladly endured
during these four years of heroic strug¬
gle and earnest endeavor for the cause
of truth and right.
With the underlying cause that led
up to this mighty conflict, nearly all
ire familiar, but for the Sake of pos¬
terity and the truth of history, for the
sake of those whose bodies are sleep¬
ing in the bosom of mother earth, I
would consider myself recreant to the
great trust reposed in me on this oc¬
casion if 1 did not state it in your
presence today.
And now in the ver ybeginning, 1
want to deny that base calumny
against tin; Southern people that the
negro was the cause of the w-ar and to
sot at rest forever this groundless
charge.
On this question, listen to the words
of Georgia’s peerless orator, the gifted
Mill: “Slavery was not File cause, but
it was the occasion of our secession.
We voluntarily left a union under a
Constitution which our fathers did
help to •make, in which slavery was
recognized and in which abolitionists
even admitted it whs recognized by the
states, in order to secure better pro¬
tection for that property."—Speech of
13. IL Hill at LaGrange, Ga„ March
11, 1885.
It was generally understood when
the colonies united-Fhemselves togethe»
under the first compact for mutual de
tense and protection, that it at any¬
time and of the original thirteen par¬
ties so desired or had just cause to d;.
so, that they might return to that
state or condition in which they were
before said compact was made.
The Southern States lived up to the
letter and spirit of it until the North¬
ern States broke faith with them and
gave them just cause for the breach
of the same.
in 1777 articles of confederation
were drawn up for the government of
the thirteen colonies and each entered
into it as a separate state for mutual
good and defense. So jealous were
the states of their rights that congress
was invested with little power at all,
the states even reserving to themselves
the right to levy taxes, thus recogniz¬
ing the sovereignty of each state.
But as time passed on and the colo¬
nies prospered to that extent that trade
was disturbed under the existing form
of government, it was finally determin¬
ed to call a constitutional convemion
to make such changes in the govern¬
ment as was needed to meet the de¬
mands of the country.
This convention met in Philadeip.ii i
May 25th, 178,7, and Washington, a
son of old Virginia, was chosen n..--si
dent. Delegates from all the dates
except Rhode Island were pr. sent.
Many were opposed to strong central
government, fearing that state lines
would be blotted out and that the
states would he shorn of their indi¬
viduality. But after four mourns of
stormy discussion, in which Benjamin
Franklin-suggested that the se .Ions be
opened each day with prayer, ar gov¬
ernment was formed practically as it
stands today. The consent of nine
states was necessary for ratification of
this new Constitution, before the ar¬
ticles of confederation would be super¬
seded.
Six states ratified it immediately,
but in many there was a bitter strug¬
gle. New York and Virginia finally
ratified it with the accompanying dec¬
laration, ih. . the powers which thev
had delegated to the : enera! govern j
ment might he resumed by’ them when-
ever these should be perverted to their
injury or oppression. The constitu

I he Constitution left to the states their
own separate rights and specified def¬
initely the powers to be exercised by
the congress.
The first insurrection against this
new government was in Pennsylvania
and was brought about by resistance
to the tax on liquor. Later the alien
uni sedition acts called forth a re¬
statement of the rights of tfie states
vhich was formulated by Thomas Jeff
■rson and James Madison and known
to history as the Virginia and Ken¬
resolutions. This statement was
virtual repetition of what bad been
at the beginning with ref¬
to the rights of the states. Jeff¬
became the leader of those who

MUCH INTEREST BEING
xMANIFESTED IN EFFuRi
TO HAVE BASEBALL CLUB
it has been proposed that promoters
representing Covington, Monroe, Mon¬
ticello. F.atonton, Madison and Winder
hold a meeting at an early date for
the purpose of drafting plans for the
organization of a baseball league, in
which much interest is being manifest¬
ed by the Covington fans.
There is material in the cities nam¬
ed capable of being organized into
prize-winning teams and The News
hopes tliai the movement will be pros¬
ecuted to speedy conclusion, as a
baseball team is a splendid advertising
asset to any city.
Newton county people interested in
the contemplated organization are in¬
vited to confer with l)r. ’1'. U. Smith
and Wright Adams, two enthusiastic
fans, who are willing to devote suffi¬
cient time and attention to the organ¬
ization of the league to insure its .suc¬
cess.
Monroe, Monticello, F.atonton, Mad¬
ison and Winder are urged to co-op¬
erate with the local promoters, who
are planning to visit these cities in the
near future for the purpose of con¬
ferring with other supporters of the
great national sport.
