Herald and Advertiser, N E W N A N, F RI D A Y, F E B. 12.: ONE DOLLAR A YEAR. “The Old Confed.” I Row) Ix.foro the Confederates Vet.-nm* on l.ee’. birthday, Jan. 19, 1909, by Mi. H Helen IaOTu:. j In addressing you to-day it is for a [ twofold purpose. First—There is always a welcome for you ! It is our wish that you will ever he with us. There is a fascination, tinged with pathos, which surrounds the Confederate soldier. No one else car ries this indescribable, magnetic charm as the soldiers who wore the gray, and in years to come the story of their per ils, privations from hunger, cold and destitution, will bring pain to the heart, a sob to the throat, and a tear to the eye. It is the desire of the Daughters of the Confederacy that ev ery Confederate veteran should have a Southern Cross of Honor. "Few an* left who now can claim it; Fewer grow they, year by year; Yet the veteran’a Groan of Honor Grow® to Southern heart® more dear. Yew, *ti« guerdon of a glory Which cun never phmh away 'Tin the aeal of Southern women On the valor of the gray." Second—Last year I made a public as well as a personal appeal to you to write me a history of your soldier life during the days of ’61-’65—to give me a sketch of your prison life, on the march, weary-fought battles, stories told around the camp-fires. Only three of you have responded. Dr. Curry in his “Southern States of the American Union” sHys: "History, poetry, ro mance, art and public opinion have been most unjust to the South. The true record of the South, if it be relat ed with historical accuracy, is rich in patriotism, in intellectual force, in civ ic and military achievements, in hero ism, in honorable and sagacious states manship. History as written, if ac cepted in future years, will consign the South to infamy.’’ The greatest mis sion of the United Daughters of the Confederacy is to collect the true his tory of the Soutli in this great conflict. For our veterans the banners of the eternal camping-ground are ever wav ing a joyous greeting; old comrades are reaching out beckoning hands. Now is the time, while you walk with ns, and can give us this history from your own lips. Once again I ask you to write this history. If you do not, where and how are we to obtain it? Act while the day is yours 1 “Let but a spade of thought be sunk and some long-hidden treasure is unearthed.” There is no successor to the Confeder ate soldier. You are rapidly passing away--nearing the end of your long march. Soon the sultry suns and the dust of time will have done with you forever. "You boy® nro gutting kind o’ gray, You old Confed®; You Him* ain’t got long lion* to stay, You old Confed llalf-Htarvud, you faced tin* boy® in blue, When clothed in rngH and tatter®, too, Ami braver soldiers no one knew. Than old Confed®. "And when old Gabriel blown hi® horn, You old Confod® Will fall in line on that great morn, You old Confed®. The Miinter then will say to you, ‘Just take your neats in that front pew— Thero’® nothing here too good for you You old Confed®.’ ’’ With what confidence Manassas in spired you, although victory was cloud ed by the death of Georgia’s first Gen eral—Francis S. Bartow. This battle had its humorous side, too. It is said of the ynnkees, in their hasty retreat, that an Irishman outstripped the rest on his way to Washington. Being met by an officer, the latter inquired why he ran. He answered: “Them as didn’t run are there yet.” Comrades meeting comrades have never ceased to question why was that useless sacrifice of life and fruitless battle of Franklin. Some of you were there. Fredericksburg, Chancellors- ville. Cold Harbor, the Wilderness, valley of the Shenandoah, swamps of the Chickahominy, the trenches of Pe tersburg, Yellow Tavern, Sharpshurg, Chickamauga, Vicksburg—some of you were there. In dwelling on these years of carnage, “there is one name whose very sound is like a sigh or groan. None is gloomier or instinct with a more nameless horror than the little in significant village of Gettysburg.” When Lee’s old war-horse attacked Round Top Hill victory seemed within your very grasp, but you could not snatch it. “ ’Twas then the century reeled, when Longstreet paused on the slope of the hill.” When we see the bullet scars, the saber, cicatrix, empty sleeve and crutch, we know you were there. Then came the iUh of April, Appomattox—the bitterness of death. Those of you who were there stacked your old muskets you had carried in an hundred battles; surrendered your bul let-torn colors; all lost, gone, save honor and principle You returned si lently with your “parole” to your des-1 olate homes. With brave hearts you gave your energy and every thought to the restoration of your ruined homes, to the gathering up of the pittance re maining from your once bountiful store. Could there have been n nobler sight than this? You have been blessed, for where can you find a fairer or more prosperous domain than this same Dix ieland? Do you ever dream of Dixie land? ' Her home is in a wondrous clime. Yon inland in the stream of time; The phow’ra that wash it® cloud® away Are tear® for her dead boy® in gray. To her you cannot find the way Unions you wore or loved the Kray; The ‘Star® and Bar®’ wave o’er the door In Dixieland forevermore. Tin there the veteran® pro each year, And there they hold reunion® rare; With nonKs and tale , and yell' the hoy® KotaHte their bravest, sweetest joys. The lK»yn that died for Dixieland Gome back and take them by the hand. And on that glory-lighted shore They siriK their glory ®onir® once more. There Dixie calls the roll each your, And fewer, fewer annwor ‘Here;’ And soon there’ll none be left to Bay: *1 fought w ith Lee; 1 wore the Kray.’ ” “Fads That Sicken a Sane Chris- j tian.” Atlanta Journal. The plan of one hundred young peo- | pie of Dr. John E. White’s church of j Atlanta, to walk in the steps of Jesus for one month, is the subject of a card that has just been sent to the Atlanta Journal by Rev. B. J. W. Graham, edi tor of the Christian Index. This plan was tried in Cleveland and spread to other cities, finally reaching Atlanta. To-day the attempt at sinless living for a month by one hundred young peo ple of the Second Baptist church of that city will begin. “I am surprised that this old fad has been revived,” writes Mr. Graham. “It is positively sickneing to a sane, orthodox Christian.” He insists that the question is not what Jesus would do, but what he would have us do. His card in full follows: “ ‘In His Steps, or What Would Je sus Do,’has bobbed up again. I am surprised that this old fad should have been revived. It is positively sickening to a sane, orthodox Christian. In the first place the question is not what Je sus would do, for He is both Savior and Lord. It is not within the province of a Christian, who is a servant, to per form either the functions of the Savior or those of the Lord. The business of the saved who are bought with a price, and therefore are servants, (douloi.) is to obey the commands of the Lord. The question is : ‘What Will Jesus Have Me To Do?’ “The most disgusting thing about the revival of this fad is the fact that those who have been caught by it have pledged themselves to do what Jesus would do for one month. What have these Christians been doing before this time? But the most serious question is what are they going to do at the end of the one month? The implication is that they are not going to do what Jesus would do. Is the obligation to do what the Lord wants me to do limited to one month? I once heard a man say that the Lord only required a man to live right for one month in the year, and that he chose February, because it was the shortest month. “If I know anything about Christian ity. as set forth in the bihle, it is that Christians must endeavor to do what Jesus wants them to do the rest of their lives. Being good a month is a delu sion and a snare.” THEY INJURE CHILDREN. Ordinary Cathartics, Pills and Harsh Physic Cause Distressing Com plaints. You cannot be over-careful in the se lection of medicine for children. Only the very gentlest bowel medicine should ever be given. Ordinary pills, cathartics and purgatives are too apt to do more harm than good. They cause griping, nausea and other distressing after-effects that are frequently health- destroying and a life-lasting annoyance. We personally recommend and guar antee Rexall Orderlies as the safest and most dependable remedy for consti pation and associate bowel disorders. We have such absolute faith in the su preme virtues of this remedy that we sell it on our guarantee of money back in every instance where it fails to give satisfaction, and we urge all in need of such medicine to try it at our risk. Rexall Orderies contain an entirely new ingredient which is odorless, taste less and colorless. It embraces all the best qualities of the soothing, laxative, strengthening and healing remedial active principles of the best known in testinal regulator tonics. Rexall Orderlies are extremely pleas ant to take, are particularly prompt anil agreeable in action, may be taken at anv time, day or night; do not cause diarrhoea, nausea, griping, excessive looseness, or other undesirable effects. They have a very natural action upon the glands and organs with which they come in contact, act as a positive and regulative tonic upon the relax, dry muscular coat of the bowels, remove ir rigation, dryness and soreness, over come weakness, and tone and strength en the nerves and muscles, and restore J the bowels and associate organs to more j vigorous and healthy activity. Rexall Orderlies not only cure eon- | stipation, but they remove the cause of this ailment. They also overcome the necessity of constantly taking laxatives to keep the bowels in normal condition. There is really no similar medicine so good as Rexall Orderlies, especially j for children, aged and delicate persons. { They are prepared in tablet form ahd in two sizes of packages; 12 tablets. 10c., and 36 tablets, 25c.

In the beginning, with youthful ex uberance and abundance of hope, it is joy, pleasure, freedom from care, that makes young persons merry and ripe for fun, but the time soon rolls around when disappointments crowd in so thick that the pursuit of pleasure gets to he full of things that are not pleas ant or enjoyable. It is borne in upon one’s mind that duty oftentimes con flicts with pleasure seeking, and the future then becomes a conflict between the pleasure seeker and sensible views of duty and obligation, particularly if reverses of fortune intervene to make this conflict more strenuous. There are few persons in the world who have not tasted the ills of life af ter they have reached maturity. Some times the change comes through loss of health, oftentimes through reverse of fortune, and many times through one’s sympathy and affection for those they love as their own selves. A great many fling themselves against the bars of their captivity and aggravate their suffering by a vain struggle to alter the inevitable. Such struggles have sent scores of once hap py people to the asylum. A great many have been reduced to misanthropes and disbelievers in whatever is pure and good. They are transformed into mis erably unhappy creatures, a burden to those who must endure them, and to themselves, because they are discon tented and rebellious. But while the ways of adversity are hard and the struggles with poverty are often sore and wearying, there is a discipline that attends such burdens which works a healthy condition of the mental and moral man in the end. The Master says, “Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted.” That comfort is obliged to grow out of the chastening results which attend this conflict between duty and inclina tion. The “Inhumanity” of Poisoning a Dog. Griffin News and Sun. A gentleman residing near Griffin re cently had a dog poisoned which he val ued very highly, and the following ex pression of his feelings, addressed to the despicable parties who commit such dastardly acts, will probably meet the approval of many readers of The News and Sun. “You dog poisoners! You inflictors of suffering upon the noblest and most faithful of dumb animals! Have you ever witnessed the agonies of one of these poor brutes after its system has become inoculated with the deadly dose you have tossed him, or perhaps given with one hand while the other palm caressed his shaggy coat? Have you ever seen the full results of your inhuman work—the awful, frame-tear ing spasms, the frantic efforts to con trol the pain-contracted limbs, the heaving of the tortured body, and the almost human appeals for assistance by piteous little moans and uplifting of eyes that are trustful of man, even with the glaze of death settling upon them? And then, the last awful death spasm, in the throes of which the poor animal attempts to caress the hand of the man who is ministering to it—a last expiring effort at gratitude. And yet there are people who will poison a dog. Oh, the inhumanity of it all!” He Learned Something. A young man who had recently re ceived his “sheepskin” from one of our leading colleges, and who was de sirous of an easy, good-paying position, boarded the train for the city. He walked about the city nearly all day, undecided as to what sort of employ ment would suit him best. Finally, he decided to try a printing establishment. Walking up to an old printer he said: ‘‘Good morning, sir. I am looking for a job. Have you anything for me?” “Are you a printer?” asked the vet eran typo. "No, sir; but I wish to learn the bus iness. How long will it take me to learn the printers’ trade?” ‘‘You never learn it. my friend, ” said the typo. ‘‘You learn something new every day.” The young college graduate thought the printer was ‘‘dragging ’ him. and he pertly asked: “What have you learned to-day?” “Oh.” said the printer, good-natured ly, “Among other things I have learned that there are all kinds of fools in this world.” A young man who persisted in whis pering loudly to a lady who accom panied him to a symphony concert, tell ing her what the music “meant,” what sort of passage was coming next and so on, caused serious annoyance to every one of his immediate neighbors. Pres- j ently he closed his eyes and said to his I companion: “Did you ever try listening to music with your eyes shut? You’ve no idea how lovely it sounds.” Thereupon a gentleman who sat in a seat in front of the young man twist ed himself about and said gravely: “Young man. did you ever try listen ing to music with your mouth shut?” And it sometimes happen that one can judge by appearances. Many a woman seems strait-laced because she is laced that way. It’s the easiest thing in the world for a man to deceive himself. Wanted All the Facts. Cincinnati Times-Star. When the policeman told Patrick Col lins that he was before the court, Mr. Collins felt his wav to the rail and stood there, his hands upon it. His head was completely wrapped in bandages. Just one little peek hole was left, through which a gleam of light pene trated to the inner Collins. He turned his head sidewise, like a battered and very dissolute robin, and peered at the magistrate. “You are charged with disorderly conduct, Collins,” said the court. “I know it,” Mr. Collins was under stood to mumble. “I want to be held for trial.” “You—want — to — be — held — for trial?” gasped the court. “Why not plead guilty now, pay a dollar fine, and go away free.” “Nup,” said Collins, straining lan guage through the cloths. “Nup, I wanta be tried.” “And in the name of Great Chief Tammany—why?” asked the court. “Because,” said Collins through his swollen lips, “the last I can remember was when I was standing peaceful-like on a corner. Then the next thing I can remember two doctors were sewing me together so I wouldn’t fall apart before I got to court. I want to be tried and hear the stories of the wit nesses. That’s the only way I’ll ever find out what happened.” Proportion your charity to the strength of your purse. SAVED FROM AN OPERATION By Lydia E.

CATES DRUG CO., Successor to Huffaker Drug Co. table. 1 will nev There is an evaporation from the body going on continually, day and night, through the pores and glands of the skin. This is nature’s way of maintaining the proper temperature of our systems and preserving the soft ness and flexibility of the skin, and so long as the blood is free from impur ities no trouble will result. When, hqwever, the blood from any cause becomes infected with humors and acids, these too must be expelled, and coming in contact with the delicate fibres and tissues with which the skin is so abundantly supplied they produce irritation and inflammation, and the effect is shown by Eczema, Acne, Tetter, and skin affections of various kinds. These impurities and humors get into the blood through a deranged or inactive condition of the system ; the members whose duty it is to carry off the waste and refuse matter of the body fail to properly perform their work, and this impure, fermenting matter is left in the system to be absorbed by the blood. The skin is not only affected by poisons generated within the system, but poisons from without, such as Poison Oak, Poison Ivy, Nettle Rash, etc., enter through the open pores and glands, and so thor oughly do they become rooted in the blood that they are ever present, or return at certain seasons of each year to torment the sufferer. Salves, washes, lotions, etc., cannot cure skin diseases. True, such treatment re lieves some of the itching and dis comfort, and aids in keeping the skin clean, but it does not reach the real cause, and at best can be only palli ating and soothing. A thorough cleansing of the blood is the only certain cure for skin diseases. S. S. S., a gentle acting, safe blood purifier, made entirely of vegetable ingredients of the forest and field, is the proper treatment. S. S. S. goes down into the circulation, and neutralizes the acids and humors, thoroughly cleansing and purifying the blood, and curing skin affections of every kind. It supplies to the blood the fresh, nutritive qualities necessary to sustain the skin and all other parts of the body, and rids the blood of any and all poisons. S. S. S. cures Eczema, Tetter, Acne, Salt Rheum, Poison Oak and Ivy, Nettle Rash, and all other skin troubles, and cures them permanently by removing every trace of the cause from the blood.

S., spring and fall, for the past two years, with the result that it entirely relieved me of a form of Eczema which my doctor was unable to cure. My arms, lower limbs, and, in fact, the biggest portion of my whole body was affected, and when I first began S. S. S. the itching, etc., was worse, but I continued the remedy with the result that the dry, itching eruption en tirely disappeared. I think a great deal of your medicine, and have recommended it to others with good results. It is the best blood medicine made, and I can conscientiously recommend it for the cure of all blood and skin affections. CHAS. HORSTMAN. Wheeling, W. Vn.
