Waynesboro, Ga., April 30,1900.
To the People of Burke County
Whereas, certain letters have been
published and circulated very gen
erally by Mr, Hammond and his
friends in behalf of his candidacy
for the Solicitorship of the Augusta
Circuit, the tendency of which is to
discredit the ability of Hon. Jos. S
Reynolds for the place by magnify
ing the ability of Mr, Hammond as
a criminal lawyer and seeking to
convey the Impression that Mr.Rey-
nolds is not qualified for the posi
tion:
We the undersigned members ol
the bar of Waynesboro and public
officials of Burke county, believing
that this attempt upon the part ol
Mr. Hammond and his friends to
magnify his qualifications for the
office by disparaging those of Mr.
Reynolds is very unfair and mis
leading to the public, desire to say
to the people of this county, thai
most of us have Known Mr. Rey
nolds from his boyhood. We know
him to be a young man ol eminent
ability, and of unquestioned integ
rity. He is industrious and scrup
ulously attentive to duty and is un
iversally courteous to all with
whom he comes in contact. He has
performed every trust heretolore
confided to him with faithfulness
and recognized ability. In support
of this assertion we refer to his re
cord as a representative from Rich
mond county in the Legislature ol
Gerogia where he served with Mr.
Hammond during the sessions ol
1898 and 1899. The friends of Mr.
Hammond will hardly contend that
he evinced more ability or was
more faithful and attentive to duty
than was Mr. Reynolds as a mem
ber off that body. It is not our pur
pose to disparage Mr. Hammond
for whom we entertain a high re
gard, but to do justice to Mr. Rey
nolds as a lawyer. Mr.Reynolds has
proven himseil to be able and fear
less is eminently qualified to dis
charge all the duties of the office ol
solicitor general. In view ol this we
unhesitatingly endorse and will ac
tively support Mr. Reynolds for the
position.

Ladies of the Memorial Association
[ wish to say a few words about
•‘the women who waited at home.”
The women of Cathage cnce gave
the very hair of their heads to be
made into bow strings for their
country’s soldiers. They did not give
more, nor were they more patriotic,
than were the women of the South
Delicately nurtured ladies, accus
tomed to receive every courtesy
ind attention, and to have every
want gratified, unskilled in business
in business affairs and unacquaint
ed with the stern realities of life,
oade their husbands, fathers and
brothers answer the call of duty
and go to the front. Bidding her
loved ones a farewell which might
be the last upon this earth, with
brave face, but breaking heart, tnis
woman w ho waited turned her back
upon the luxury and ease to which
she had been accustomed, and as
sumed the management ol the farm.
Handicapped by the blockade ol
the Southern ports, and forced to
resort to ail kinds of expedients to
obtain the necessaries of life, still
she managed affairs at home, con
trolled the slaves, made the crops
and in most instances fed and cloth
ed the absent loved ones at the
front. But the physical hardships
of her lot, sink into insignificance
in comparison with the mental an
guish she suffered. While her ab
sent ones were fighting at the front,
she could but wait, only wait, oh the
horrible loneliness, the pitiable an
guish of waiting, waiting with
white, drawn face, expecting, fear
ing, dreading, that every mail might
bring to her intelligence ot a loss
she had sustained that could be re
paired! Still she struggled bravely
on, putting her trust in Him who
ordereth life and death, and faith
ful to her country’s cause. A writer
er w’ho looked deep into the human
sou! once said, that when at last
human actions were weighed in the
exact scales of divine justice, a
brighter crown would be given to
those who waited and suffered, than
to those who did and dared. So
true are his words, and so dazzled
am I by the radiant halo of glory
which surrounds and encircles the
lovely brow of this woman of the
Confederacy that I can but bend
my knee in spontaneous and rever
ent homage, as I stand wordless
and speechless before her shrine.
0> inspiration of the Confederacy,
O, brave, patient and uncomplain
ing patriot, thou wert, alter all,' the
very mainstay of this land in its
darkest hour of perii and danger!
Let the dead past bury its dead
Well may we congratulate our
selves that the great conflict is over,
and tnat we are at peace again, but
oh my countrymen, do not Jet us
forget the noble examples tarnish
ed by the history of the Confeder
acy, of patience, endnrance^and
courage. Do not let us forget the
brave and gallant dead, who sealed
their faith with their blood and
lied for a cause that we know is
right.
This day all over the South simi
lar exercises are being held, and we
all feel that we have nothing in our
struggle, unsuccessful though it was,
>f which we need be ashamed.
The history of the heroes in whose
ionor we have met is a record of
aoble and valiant deeds. Let us
forever keep their memories fresh
n our hearts, and every year, as the
glad, warm spring is bursting into
vigorous iife agaiD, as Nature is
puttiDg on her beautiful garb of
greeD, and as the anniversary of
he Confederacy’s death approaches,
iet us recall and recount their deeds
and their achievements, their gal
lant lives, and their heroic deaths!
Let them remain to us, and to our
•hildren, and to our children’s chil-
Iren, au encouragement, an inspi
ration, a reminder of the blood and
uneage from which wo spring,
“Nor shall their valor bo forgot
While fame her record keeps
Or honor points the hallowed spot
Where valor proudly sleeps.
Yon marble minstrel’s voiceless tone
in deathless songs shall tell
When many a vanquished age hath llown
The story how they fell
And no wreck.norchange,nor winter’s blight
Nor Time’s remorseless doom
Shall dim one ray of hoiy lignt
That gilds their glorious tomb.”
