It is most significant that the
south Is giving up its political con
servatism. Its representatives in
congress do not find it diffi cult to
indorse administration policies, nor
its people to look with satisfaction
upon their course. The nationaliz

striking features of present day pol

MEMORIAL DAY ADDRESS.
His Magnificent Effort Published
in Full—Shows Much Study
—Replete With Historic
Matter.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Ladles of
the Memorial Association, Most
R ‘verend Fathers:
The privilege of standing before
you is an honor I have craved for
many years. Asa boy I stood near
this sacred spot and heard for the
first time, a tribute to Southern man
hood. As [ listened to the recital
of the heroic struggles of the bare
foot" ragged and starving soldiers
of the South, as I heard the story of
the noble part played by the men
of my native county in the great
conflict, I longed for an opportuni
ty to stand before you and say that
I was proud of my heritage. The
world owes the Confederate soldier
a debt it can never pay. The type
of manhood they displayed is the
highest ideal the world has ever
known; and when their mighty
hosts shall gather for the last time,
they may rest assured that that ex
ample will never be surpassed after
their immortal souls have passed
beyond the vale and shadow of
tears into that brighter and better
land.
And yet, with the opportunity be
fore me, I confess I am somewhat
at a loss what to say. Generalship
is often best displayed in the art of
retreating: I chose that subject.
History informg me that South
ern soldiers neyer turn their back
to the enemy. Shall I tell you ab
out Bull Run artists? The soldiers
grew tired of that, away back in the
sixties. You recall a Northern gen
eral wrote home: ‘For God’s sake
send me men with their lower limbs
turned round, so that I can get them
somewhere near Lee’s lines)” A
Houthcrn lady, during the re con
struction period told her children if
she ever heard of them playing with
Nor* hern children she would frail
the life out of them. '1 he good lady
was shocked one day ou seeing her
orders disobeyed; she called her
children to her, and was abjii* to
punish them, when one of them said
“viother. we were playing so’diers,
and we had tj have some one to
run!” Every old soldier before me
>he pathetic sight of Fed
eral soldier*- being driven into batt e
and kept l here by the efforts of their
officers We are proud, however,
that such cowardly men were not
born beneath th~ Hiars and stripes.
Whenever you met an American
brother from the North, Esst and
especially the West, you met “a
foeman worthy of your step’;” and
be it ever remembered that the
ablest general in the Northern Ar
my was George B. McC.ellan, a
Virginian by birth
The mind that conceives the so
lution of any problem deserves
praise. Oit of three million sol
diers and twenty-three millions of
citizenry, one man solved the prob-
lem for the Union. The Northern
plan was to flood this country with
the scum of the earth. We should
not Insult the profession of arms
by calling men. who made war on
defenseless women and children,
soldiers. The conduct of Gher
man’s army, wa* or no war, has
never been * quailed by civilized or
barbarian warriors. The Indian
never robbed his victim after he
had scalped him. When we real
ize that we were defeated by such
methods, we must wonder whether
Lazarus grieved more on account
of his wounds or because he was
licked by dogs.
The Federais stopped exchanging
prisoners, contrary to the rules of
civilized warfare. They knew that
their resources could not be ex
hausted, and that our army could
not be recruited. The N trih said,
we will whip them by robbery, star
vatioo and numbers; and they ac
tually begged starving soldiers to
turn traitor to the cause they knew
was right. The Federais said, for
every man of ours you kill, we will
put three in his place, and they did
The highest compliment ever paid
to chivalry Grant paid Lee’s gray
line at Appomattox when he faced
them with more men than the com

rope marshalled to crushed ihe
mighty Corsican at Waterloo.
While the British warships were
ravaging the American coasts dur
ing the war of 1812. there played at
O-born Landing, Virginia, a boy
destined to dim the lustre ot the
Father of this country with surpass
ed greatness. With the American
army sustaining defeat after defeat;
with so many people oppossed to
the war; with all regretting the ab
sence of a Washington; wi'h his
father having served under that
great soldier; with the war stories
that he had heard from the lips of
his father; it was as natural for him
to select as his model the mighty
Washington as it was for the atmos
phere of the times to plan in his
tender mind the love of arms. That
he was thoroughly imbued with a
spirit of warfare Is illustrated bv
the fact that while a boy hunting
with his father he became so en
grossed explaining military tactics
to a n* gro boy that he was lost in
>he woods. His father’s highest
Ideal of a man was his; his father’s
hero was a soldier, he would be a
soldier, and he was, Wherever
danger called for a soldier he went,
whether it was in Indian, Mexican
or our own eonfli t His father bad
presented him with the sword he
had used at Y *rktowr ; this noble
son drew that sword in defense of
the land his father loved so well
He never had command of an ar
my Jong enough for his plans to
materialize. Had he had charge
of the Southern army as long as
Washington had of the colonial
troops, and had he been faced only
by northern soldiers, he would have
been victorious in less time than
Washington without the assistance
of any country. Washington never
displayed in any battle the military
knowledge that this man showed in
every engagement. They were
both defensive warriors. They
both looked after their men with
the same minuteness. While Wash
ington’s army was composed of
men who were reared with guns in
their arms, his consisted of men
reared in the lap of luxury, and un
accustomed to the hardships of a
soldier’s life. While Washington
was never wounded, this man was
wounded oftener than any com
manding general of any army. This
man never said ‘go!” but “come on
hoys!” and he had not a soldier who
would not have followed him to his
grave. Washington was cold and
distant; tl is man was warm and
cordial, and, could he approached
by any private in his army. At the
memorial * xerciees in Atlanta in
1890, this modest, soldier was over
come by joy at the sight of his old
soldiers They yelled themselves
hoarse, unhitched the horses from
the carriage and themselves drew
him all over the city; the police
force tried to stop them, hut their
love for their old leader was too
°*rong; toe parade had *n wait ah
they drew him near the opera house
a tall soldier grasp >d his hand and
said : “General, don’t v< u remember
me?” The old hero looked up, and
with tears in his eyes exclaimed:
“It Isold Tige Anderson!”
There are thousands of people
who honestly believe that had ft
not n for the untimely removal of
this m n from the command of th
Western army,he would never have
had the sad gratification of acting
as pall bearer for William Teeunri
eh Sherman, but wou’d have bur.
fed h m and h*s army in the moun
tains of old Georgia. We rejoice
'hat the Almighty gave to the world
Jos E Johnston, as the highest type
of the defensive warrior, and
him od tbe highest pin&ACie, though
denied him every reward except
tbe love of his <*< untr; men.

said Napoleon. “Jo your duty, and
leave the rest to God,” the
rule rf conduct of the intrepid
Southern leader. At the advance
of tbe one, he allied European for
ces trembed; at the approach of
the other Northern armies, fed by
tbe hirelings of tbe world, fl "and. As
a i artillery officer, Napoleon first
displayed his military geniu*; so it
was with the mighty Jackson. The
Corsican astonished the world with
his rap'd movements; the Virgin
ian b ftl and the military experts of
the North to prophecy his next
move, or to stand before his un
expected and well ordered advance.
Napoleon commenced his ca
reer at the head of fifty thous
and trained soldiers; Jackson be
gan hts march to fame wiih only
the cadets of his academy. N ipoi
e >n, to inspire his soldiers, poiuted
them to the richest country on the
face of the earth} -I kson, by per
sonal example,lifted hi- men to that
higher plane of action that springs
alone from a sense of duty ; Napol
eon could have rid len at tne head
of a million soldiers; Jackson at no
time commanded over twenty
thousand; Napoleon would never
have fought against ten to on* }
Jackson paid no attention to the
edda confronting him. Napoleon
was ambitious for N tpoleou’s sak ;
Jackson con-ioered duty to country
as t: bye everything. When here
signed on account of the authorities
having treaed him wrongfully,
Johnson had only to remind him of
his duty to have him at once re con
elder his action. Napoleon was sel
fi-h} self was entirely absent from
the make up of Stonewall Jackson
Jackson was a strict disciplinb’n yet
he loyed his soldiers with a fatherly
devotion, and they worshipped him
No wonder they lov and him! Where,
in all history, will you find a grand
er soul than hi-? a pitched battle
awaits tbe first gray streaks of morn
for the army of the Shenandoah;
the foot cavalry, foot sore from
forced marches, with its picket lines
thrown out, is asleep in line of bat
tie; the great commander has left
his sleeping aides to m*kß sure
that all is well, A lad a mere boy
stands away out on the picket line
nodding on his riflh. N > reprimand
not one harsh word, in whispered
tones the boy is made to lie down
and sleep, while old Jack sentinels
the post. And yet this man with a
heart as tender as ever throbbed
within a mothers’* breast, was sm h
a terrier to the North that the
mighty President of the United
States telegraphed McClellan to
stop every movement ag ilnst Rich
ronnd until Jackson could be cap
tured. Three armies, amounting to
eighty thousand men, were given
the task of annihilating his seven
teen thousand soldiers. Go to Vir
ginia’s famous valley and see what
he did with them One of their
generals telegraphed to Washing
ton: “Thank God, we are in Mary
land again!” The other two ar
mies had a foot race back to the
capital.
The mighty Pope who said that
he had come from the West where
he had always seen the backs of
his enemies, that his head quarters
were in the saddle: that he did not
know what liueg of retreat were;
when Jackson was spnt against
him, after two battles, Pope went
ba< k to fight Indians.
From the moment Jackson gave
his heart to God at Lexington, he

ol The charge of the old guard ai
Waterloo was grano ; Pickett’s as
sault at Gettysburg was sublime
but the grandest charge of which
the world has any record was he
charge of the Southern army at
Cold Harbor. Our soldiers have
been fighting all day; it is neces
sary to ihe safety of Richmond that
the enemy be dislodged; Lee or
ders th entire army to charge,
when JacksoL’ Division moves the
entire lines is to follow. Just as the
*un is falling in the arms of Morph
eus. fifty thousand soldiers in line of
battle, under the hottest fire, wait
for Jackson to star!; old soldiers up
and down the line are impatient
at the delay; Jackson’s division
moves, the entire army ru-h dowu
the slope towards a ravine; at ev
ery step the Federal artillery tears
great gaps In their ranks, but still
they press on. As they reach the
ravine, they see the desperate na
ture of the works before them ; they
answer with a yell the roar of the
Northern muskets, and rush for
the works. The first line of the ene
ray fall back on the second, the en
emy turn and fl a e; the gray line
leaps over the breastworks, the
charge is successful, and Richmond
is saved. Why had thy been kept
waiting? Because Jackson had re
tired to a secluded spot to ask the
help of Almighty God. No earthly
power could have stopped that
charge, no heavenly one cared to.
While this man was great in life
he wtt-i sublime in death, the true
test of man’s bravery. When he
had been accidentally shot by men
who would have gladly have laid
down their lives rather than harm
a button on his dingy old uniform
heixclaimed: “It is all right. I
had hoped to live to serve my coun
fry, but it will be infinite gain to

Christ.” As death closed its clammy
hands abou’ binm, he thought of his
men and said: ’Tell Capt Hawkins
to s*nd forward three days
rations.” His la-t woia®, now
familiar to the whole civilized
world, vere: ‘Let us cross over the
river and rest under the shade of

battles won his last victory The
wery, warworn soldier who was
not horn for defeat, went to rec ive
his crown of rejoicing.

eral ever out generled as many
commander ever nut to flight as
many armies No leader ever
fought against su- h odds No com
manding ( fficer ever whipped so
many battles. N<> man ever cauie
near victory so many times. With
his recruiting resources exhausted;
with a mere handful rf starving
men, he outwitted Grant so often
that within a few m >nths prior to
*he surrender of his army of 8 70ft
men, the clamor of the North, ad
mitted defeat, became so great that
Lincolln actually dr w up peace ne
gotiations. History has no record
of another warrior where the ba
ties claimed by the other side were
won by losing more men than the
defeated side We may take as an
example the battle of Gettysburg,
and what is said of that battle is
true of the others Northern his
torians admit that they lost more
men in that engagement than the
8 uth did Meade was so badly
whipped in that battle that he dar
ed not attack Lee’s retiring force.
I has been truth'ully said that the
8 *uth never recovered from the loss
it there sustained The army L°e
marched into Maryland was never
quaPed by any soldier that ever
followed the eagles to cor quest, and
no better blood was ever spilt for
the sake of home and liberty than
was shed there.
While Lee was t e ’ in war, he
was grand in peace No sublimer
picture could be painted than that
of the grand old man bidding fare
well to his soldiers I did my best
boys. Go home and be as good ci ; z
ens as you have been soldiers. One
of Georgia’s sons has justly said:
“The future historian surveying the
character of Lee will find it rising
like a huge mountain above the un
dulating plain of humanity, and
must lift his eyes high towards
heaven to cath its summit. He pos
sensed every virture of other great
commanders without their vices.
He was a foe without hate, a friend
wi'hout treachery; a victor without
opression, and a victim without
murmuring. He was a public (ffi
cer without vices; a private cP
iz e n without reproach; a
Christian without h y p o
crisy and a man without guile, He
was a Caesar without his amb tiop;
a F ederiek wi'hout his tyranny; a
Napoleon with* ut his selfishness
and a Washington without his re
ward. He was • bient to authority
as a servant, and royal in authority
as a true king He was gentle as a
woman in life, modest and pure a
a virgin in though’; watchtul a a
Roman vestal in dufj ; submissive
to law as Socrates, and grand in bat
tie as Achilles.”
What made possible the attain
ment of the laurels the world has
justly onceded to the leaders of the
South? It was the rank and file
that followed them Go back to
December, 1860; the college boys
bave heard the call of their Btate
and are coming home to pledge to
their lives and sacred honor. Cap
tain Holmes is organizing the
Burk Sharp Shooters. Every after
noon the ladies of old Burke coun
ty can be seen around the parade
ground while the boys are drilling.
Wives proudly gazing at their hus
bauds, fond mothers admiring their
sons, sweethearts casting side long
glances at their heroes. See the
special interest that a slender, black
hatred, fair conrplexioned, violet
eyed maiden has in a tall, well
proportioned, handsome boy. Or
ders are read on April 18th, 1861
for the company to report for duty
on the battlefields of Virginia.
That night, on the porch of an ante
helium home, with the breezes laden
with the perfume of a thousand flow
err, beneath thesoftmoonlight, this
soldier boy bade his sweetheart

hears a voice calling for “Water!

moonlight be sees that maiden’s
young hero lying with her minia

places his canteen to the dying sol

the dying soldier said. ‘‘No,” was
the answer, “I am only a soldier
like yourself,” “It is well,” said
the dying hero softly,” “I want you
to write to this girl; tell her I
thought of her to the last, and ask
her to say to father that I died iu
the front ranks, and beg mother
not to grieve for me, that my last
thoughts were of her” And his
soul winged its flight to the great
Beyond. The following week when
the brave girl went for her letter,
she was handed one written by a
stranger. She is afraid to open it ;
at last she breaks the seal; her fath
er sees she is fainting, he rushes to
her and in his arms he carries her
