"Dixie Land ”
ELIZAIIKTH I.KK.
\n old 11 n 11 ii ii iiiitiio Into the ynnl Inst night
And humbly begged permission Unit his
wondering blind
\t Ight piny for ns some old forgotten airs.
I howed assent, and straightway “Dixie
I .and”
Veil on my ears. Forgotten? No; tny pulses
throhhed and thrilled.
And was II weakness that my eyes were
tided with tears?
Mi, well, perhaps It was: hut that old song
Is lad a gravestone o’er the hurled hopes of
other years.
V ml as I he strains dwelled out, how high, now
low,
I saw between the ehurds, In letters brightly
spread,
I'lie hlrlli, the life, the ago of that "Lost t'ause"
That ni 'er will lie forgotten, e'en though
dead.
The stricken Mouth, with unstrung how In
hand,
1 saw again a in Id her mournful seenes,
Her arrow sped ton high and lying lust
A lining u myriad host of sweet dead dreai
ould you, toy ft lend, stand by the grave o
one vou loved,
And tlilna on any mulls Hint he In life pus
Would you not rather dwell nil nobler traits
That | in I to slmiue and da rk ness all t he rest'
so dreaming o'er that past brought buck h
lit
No errors saw I, hut before my sight
i vision only inline of noble, loyal men
Fighting, yea, dying lor u euuse to them
Isdh jusl ami t ight.
ts listening to the music die iiwny one seene
arose
Whose pathos ne'er uu eanvass rail lie
given —
A H oop nf nigged soldiers weeping o'er II Mag
All riddled, Imttlu-Ntnined, hut drums hopes
of heaven—
And one, the gentlest memory of our world,
Stood In their midst, Ills figure sadly grand,
Maying gnnd-byo In them and to the any
When life on longer could lie given for ‘‘Dix
ie I,and."
And 1 hill old song our falhers loved so well,
Whose words were ofltlmes hreulhed with
their last, breath,
should lie to those of Southern birth so dear
As loved, “lleinemhered k Isses after deal h."
A lilting "In Metnorlaiu" so II seems to me;
(irlef softens anger, and from II n rny
Makes warm our liearls for llmse who wore
the lilue,
While strenglhening love and pride for
those who wore the gray.
FAITHFUL TO THE SOUTH,
Hons of Our Bunny Southland Who Are
Worthy of All Prulso.
With onch roturiiiiiK Decoration Day
' ho South boor groator cause to honor
the men who stood by ltor when all
M>(>mt,tl lost. Old animositioR grow
weaker; tho ono groat fact remomhorod
h that tho defeated did not dORpnir. If
i Ito ltoiuun Somite, after tho disastrous
buttle of Cannic, was justlflod in voting
’ hanks to tho defeated Vurro, “Quotl, dr
rjmbHca non dne/trnismt," how much
more should tho Smith honor those who
-till live and those who have died since
Appomattox, who “did not despair of
i ho commonwealth."
Other pimples have fought bravely
md lost all. Other eommomvoeltlis
have boon as completely crushed, and
•other heroes have shown equal resigna
tion -too oft(m, however, the resigna
tion of despair. 1 tut. in no other coun
try the South can claim this with mod-
• ost hut sure contUlonee -have tho de
feated so resolutely faced tho future,
1 ought against misfortune and triumph
ed alike over calumny and calamity.
This claim is not rashly made. Look
“ hrough all the pages of history and you
will note that every unsuccessful rev-
•olution Mas followed by tho voluntary
■‘■xilivaf tunny of tho defeated -unlike
Vurro and Lee, "they despaired of the
•commonwealth.”
All t he world looked for somet hing of
flic same kind from the South. There
was much talk of llrazil, Mexico, Aus
tralia, and a few twns it one in a tlious-
*nd V) went. Hut tho noblo commander
gave t ho word, "The South has need of
all her sons." It was like an inspiring
bugle blast. The assenting echo Hound
'd from the Chesapeake to tho Kio
1 .irando. Olllcers of every rank stood
wy their men. 'if guilt there he,” they
said to tho conquerors, "we are all
equally guilty. Tho Confederacy is
gone forever. The United States is our
country. Hero wo moult to stay." And
they have conquered prejudice. The
most unobservant render cannot fail to
notice that tho current literature of all
ountrioj, ami especially of the North,
every year gives higher meed of praise
to Southern soldiers. Even Jefferson
Davis was spoken of respectfully by
nearly all his former foes, and tho core-
monies of his funeral excited bitter re-
•cavksfrom tho merest faction only of a
once savagely hostile press.
If over men were justitled in yielding
v» despair, certainly tho Confederate
soldiers of-3805 would have been. Tho
ruin was apparently complete. An en
tirely now Industrial and social system
was to be built up, and this under
the fire, one may say, of a triumph
ant .political power. If a very few
abandoned tho task in despair, they
must net bo harshly judged. But, with
out, invidious distinction, one may name
-ome who stood by and fought it
threugh to their personal triumph and
t he good of their people. The career of
Cen. Lee is known to all men. Eulogy
is not needed, but many others have
lived to attain high honors, and still
live to prove that the truo man must
.‘onquer respect.
Doubtless the world looked very dark
to Gen. John Brown Gordon when the
-:ist parole had been given, and, with j
sight wounds upon his body, lie sought j
bis desolated home. At the ago of :i:’>!
; e had won a military fame of which
cite oldest generals might be proud;
with equal resolution he faced tho du
ties of civil life, rose stop by step over
all obstacles, and, as Governor, United
.■'tales Senator and man of affairs, his
-access in peace has delighted his
friends and secured tho respect of his
t oes. Gen. Joseph E. Johnston might
well have thought his misfortunes too
'-■-oavy a weight for his fifty-eight years.
Yet, nt an age when most men think of
retiring, he took up anew the bnttle of
life and won a success which would have
honored a vigorous youth. When far
beyond the age allotted to man by
Scripture lie filled the laborious office
of Commissioner of Railroads for the
gonerallgovernment with marked suc
cess.
When Gen. Randall Lee Gibson let!
his devoted brigade in so many desper
ate clmrges against t lie "Hornets’ Nest"
nt Shiloh, what prophet could have con
vinced him that he would one day serve
with distinguished honor the govern-
inentagainst which he was fighting, and
that ho would receive Hpecin! mention
and high encomiums in “Yankee land”
as "the South’s ablest champion of good
faitli and sound financesV” Could an
angel from heaven—to take a common
phrase have convinced ono man of
oithor army of such a future ? Yet so it
wits fo ho. Such a transformatien is far
too romantic for a novel. It could only
be set down in real history, and it is not
easy fo believe that it could have hap
pened in any other country than this.
Financially ruined by tho war, lie lias
rebuilt better limn before, and as tho
“father of t he Mississippi river improve
ment policy,” and advocate of many
other forward movements, lie may yet
do evei* better things for his State and
country.
lion. John II. Reagan served in the
Confederate cabinet with honor, and
servos tho reunited.country with equal
honor and devotion. Gen. J*. G. T.
Beauregard, modestly declining special
honors, is as diligent in business as ho
was in war. Tho career of Gen. James
Longfltroot, like that of many who took
the same course after flic war, hnsbeen
the subject of severe censure; yet the
old hero lives in honored retirement,
respected alike by former foes and
friends. Tito same may bo said of hun
dreds whoso honest views of public
duty led them for a t into to part compa
ny politically witli old friends. The
mention of a few must not bo taken ns
discrimination against othor thousands.
in the years immediately following
tho civil war tho victors foil into ono or-
ror from which a little knowloilgo of
history and human nature should have
saved them. They ought to have known
that the bravest in war would most
faithfully observe their paroles In peace.
It is those who will neither bravely
tight nor honorably surrender from
whom treachery is to he apprehended.
It is much to bn regretted that the men
who tlid tho lighting among tho Fedor-
aU could not havo mot at once in con
vention witli their defeated opponents
mid arranged tho terms of peace.
Though it happened in many cases that
political pressure afterwards brought a
change, it is at once interesting and af
fecting to observe that tho first im
pulses of tho victorious Holdiors wore
most generous.
Gon. Grunt asked no "subjugation”
for Lee’s votorans. Ho did not cause
them "to pass under tho yoke." And
when, a little later, vengeance was
threatened oil certain Confederates, lie
spoke in his quiet hut most effective
way: "It shall not bo. These men have
my parole and my pledged word. I will
see to it, that the terms are not viola
ted." And he did. History will in time,
no doubt, modify the present estimate
of Hits military career; but with every
revolving year the nobility of His action
after tHo surrender will more and more
be appreciated. He, at least, knew with
whom ho was dealing. Ho had known
many of them in the "old army,” and it
never entered his head to doubt that
when such men as Lee, Longstreet,
Gordon, Johnston, Gibson, and all tho
rest, hud passed their word of honor, it
was yea and amen. Had t Ho whole
power of the South boon placed in their
hands at once, not a hostile shot would
have been aimed at the government.
This is t lie peculiar glory of the South.
On tliis point at least this section may
claim a just pre-eminence over all con
quered peoples. Tho Confederate vet
erans are now but few. A careful esti
mate by a skilled statistician has lately
led him to declare that there are not
now over 175,000 “ex-rebels” in all tho
world, of whom but two-thirds remain
in the South. Tho rest are in Northern
cities, tho adjacent States and tho far
West. But wherever they are, they are
men. It, is rare indeed to hear of one in
tho ranks of criminals. It was tho bone
and sinew, the life, tho biood, the spir
it of tho South that went into tho war.
Such men can be trusted. Long may
tlio veterans remnin with us, and, we
need not add, long may they be held in
honor; for if any people should so do-
genorato as to refuse honor to such men,
then might we sny that corruption had
eaten out tho heart of that people and
their degradation was near nt hand.
The Beauty of Health.
IIow many women with regular fea
tures that might be beautiful, are not,
and instead of wakening our admira
tion only urouso our pity. Their hol
low eyes and sunken cheeks and sallow
skin haunt our memory. Alas! an in
valid wife or mother or sister (ills the
house with gloom and sadness, an oth
erwise happy Ii reside is shadowed with
a pall of regret. Blessed bo the physi
cian who has invented a remedy with
power to strengthen the female organi
zation, that regulates the delicate func
tions of feminine life, that, relieves
those bearing-down pains, that renews
tHo appetite, that perfects digestion,
that brightens the eye and beautifies
tho complexion with tho glow of
hoalth. Such a remedy is Dr. Bull’s
Sarsaparilla. It is woman’s best friend
for counteracting the evils teat atfiiet
her sex. Thousands of Indies owe their
beauty to a use of this incomparable
alterative. Demand it of your drug
gist. Take no other.—Parts Is’etc3.
Mr. Hunnicutt Talks to the Farmers.
Special to Atlanta Journal.
Cahtkrsvillk, Ga., April 17th.—
Mr. J. B. Ilunnicutt, candidate for
Commissioner of Agriculture, was pres
ent at a big Alliance meeting here to
day and was invited to make a speech.
He complied readily with the request,
and made a very fine impression on his
audience.
Among many other good things lie
said;
"Follow-farmers: While we have
worked hard and made good crops we
have not prospered. Our lending
t rouble and cause of our depressed con
dition is tho heavy tux we are paying
through tho tariff. Tliis fearful drain
upon our resources has kept us poor,
ami will continue to do so. The consu
mers, North, East, (South and West,
should thunder at tho doors of Congress
through tlieir ballots until genuine tar
iff reform is granted.
"Scarcity of money, coupled with a
high protective tariff, which cuts off
competition, renders combines and
trusts and all that lino of oppressive
abominations practicable.
“Instead of anti-trust laws lot us de
mand tariff reform and currency.
"I nstead of cutting off the snake's tail,
let us cut off his head. But there tiro
other causes of depression which wo
can manage ourselves.
“Wo need a better system of educa
tion—ono more adapted to tho neces
sities of farm and liusitioss life. To get
this wo must have a first-class agricul
tural college, to educato teachers, who
can then touch our boys tho relations
of plant life—tho laws of tillago and
tho relations of fertilizers to vegetable
growth and fruitage. When we work
alongside of those laws wo succeed;
when wo cross tliom wo fail.
“Tho laws of electricity have been tho
same since creation's morn, but the ap
plication of oloctrie power to tho uses
of man is of recent ditto. As we now
harness tho heavenly steed nnd make
him transport our thoughts the world
around, light our streets and run our
cars, so when wo got on tho right lino
of education, wo will unveil tho now
hidden laws of plant growth, nnd by
their development make tho rod old
hills of Georgia smile in verdure rich,
and till her long vales clothe themselves
with pence, prosperity nnd plenty.
Bedecked with streams ns beautiful as
How on earth, canopied by a sky of as
lovely azuro as e’er hung ovor Italy’s
vales; crowned with mountains as pic
turesque as adorn Switzerland’s snow
capped peaks; fanned by breezes as
sweet ns e’er limited o’er Ceylon's isles;
with a soil as rich nnd varied in its capa
bilities as any land beneath t he sun, Uoar
old Georgia, thy possibilities are bright
er than an Elysian dreamt
"band of my blrtli inul home of my youth;
Adorned by weiillh umt ennobled by truth.
Cultured by brain nnd developed by brawn,
The borne of the vine, tho cotton end coi n.
Onward thy mareb.aud upward thy (light;
Thy day of prosperity will never know
night.
“A properly administered Department
of Agriculture will ninko this dream of
beauty an experience of prosperity.
Let us have better methods of culture.
Cut down tho acres and run up tho
profits.
“Hotter tools nnd bettor lands,
Fewer miles and lower hands,
Fewer dolus and mure money,
Richer milk and sweeter honey,
Will make farmers of Hallle and .lotmnle.
“Blessed dawn of a better day, may
thy promiso ripon into noonday splen
dor. As Commissioner of Agriculture
it would ho my ambition and pride to
Help you, fellow-farmers, to work out
this glorious destiny.”
Special to Atlanta Journal.
JoNKsnoito, Ga., April 1 ft.—Yester
day was a big day for the Alliancemen
of Clayton. They had as tlieir guests
two gentlemen of whom thoy may well
bo proud, Col. L. F. Livingston, presi
dent of the State Alliance, and Mr. J.
B. Hunnicutt, candidate for Commis
sioner of Agriculture.
In tho forenoon Col. L. F. Livingston
entertained a large audience at the
court-houso with an eloquent address on
the accomplishments and continual ad
vancement of the Alliance organization.
There wore numbers present who were
not Alliancemen, but it was tho univer
sal verdict that Col. Livingston proved
himself worthy of tho trust ho enjoys.
The crowd re-assembled in the after
noon to listen to the claims of Mr. J. B.
Hunnicutt for the office of Commission
er of Agriculture, and by the wrapt at
tention and enthusiastic applause it
was pleasingly evident to Mr. Ilunni
cutt that he has a strong following in
Clayton.
Mr. Hunnicutt as a Candidate and Far
mer.
Speolal to Atlanta Journal.
Mr. Jas. B. Hunnicutt is getting to be
quite a factor in the race for Agricultu
ral Commissioner.
Mr. Hunnicutt is a local Methodist
preacher with a wiry form and an im
mense amount of energy.
IIo has a good mercantile business at
Turin, in Coweta county, is an exten
sive farmer on the intensive system,
and is known as a rustler in whatever
he undertakes.
When his candidacy was mentioned
in the Virginia House at Newnan the
other day, somo gentleman remarked:
"Why, he doesn’t stand the ghost of a
showing. Nobody in Georgia knows
him.”
Anot Iter replied: “You are badly mis
taken; he is fairly well known through
out tho State, and when he comes be
fore the people, they will get acquaint
ed with him mighty quick. There is no
better stump speaker in Georgia. John
B. Gordon cannot beat him.”
Mr. Hunnicutt lias many strong
friends who will heartily enlist in his
Highest of all in Leavening Power.—U. S. Gov’t Report, Aug. 17, 1889.
ABSOLUTELY PURE
cause. He is n pleasant gentleman,
and impressed me at once with His earn
estness and His ability. lie will make a
thorough canvass of the State, and will
invite his opponents to a joint discussion
of the issues involved in the campaign.
Ono of Mr. Ilunnicntt's friends said
to me: “Go to see his farm and examine
his books and you will get some idea of
t He possibilities of Georgia land."
I did not see tho farm, but I received
approximated figures. After giving
them, Mr. Hunnicutt remarked: “The
profits below are a correct estimate, but
1 believe I had rather you would reduce
them st ill more, for 1 do not wish to.bo
accused of misrepresentation. Every
thing which I raised was grown from
seed of extra quality, which I have been
improving for years. Remember, too,
that I had some other farms, run by
renters, which did not much more than
make expenses.”
But here is tho yield for fifty acres,
worked by two mules:
500 bushels of corn, 28 halos of cotton,
700 bushels of outs, 02 bushels of wheat,
50 bushels of barley, 800 bushels of ruta
bnga turnips, 12 tons of clover hay, and
a little of everything else.
For instance, front a half acre ho made
205 gallons of ribbon cone syrup, sold
$30 worth of cane nnd put qp 5,000 stalks
for seed.
On live acres in cotton lie used four
tons of commercial fertilizer and gath
ered seven bales (although the crop was
considerably injured by n hailstorm)
nnd made a clear profit of $122—land
and mule, rout and wear of machinery
being counted in tlio expenses. Alto
gether he had tliirty acres in cotton.
lie gathered tlio 500 bushels of corn
from seven acres of thin land, heavily
fertilized with compost.
On tlio two-mule farm tho clear prof
its were not less than $2,000.
For tlie last seven years Mr. Ilunni
cutt. has farmed on the intensive system,
and during that time he hns never made
less than forty bushels of corn to the
acre. IIo declares with enthusiasm that
tlio possibilities of farming on Georgia
land have never been realized.
If 1 could make crops like tliis I would
not want to be Commissioner of Agri
culture.
After Stonewall Jackson’s death, at
('hancellorsville, a story became cur
rent iu the Confederate army which
t he soldiers loved to repeat over their
bivouac fires—that, on account of his
extreme piety, when tlieir chieftain
foil, a detachment of angels left tho
heavenly gates to visit the battlefield
and escort the hero’s soul into Para
dise. Tho celestial squadron searched
the corpse-strewn plain, but without
effect. lie whom they sought could
not be found, and they returned
mournfully to report tlieir want of suc
cess. Hullo! on arriving, they found
t lio spirit of the immortal warrior there
already. Stonewall Jackson had made
a Hank march and got to heaven before
them.
