GlouerCo. Civil Leaders of the Confederacy. While public opinion throughout the States which composed the Confeder ate States of America is well informed in the matter of the military and naval leaders of the Southern forces—Lee and Jackson and Johnston and Semmes being familiar names to all Southerners —much less is known about the men who might be called the “civil leaders of the Confederacy.” In the North the children are taught much about Seward, Stanton, Chase, Welles and the others who upheld the hands of President Lincoln. But in the Southern States the members of Presi dent Davis' cabinet—the men on whom fell the burden of providing the ways and means of carrying on the war while the military leaders at the front and on the seas were fighting the bat tles of the Confederacy—are not bo well known as perhaps they deserve to be. Comparatively few books have been written about the civil side of Confed erate history. In part this is due, of course, to their failure. Had they succeeded in estab lishing the right of the Southern States to set up a separate government their names would now be as familiar as the civil leaders of the Confederacy in hap pier days than those which followed the close of the war. It is interesting to note that only two members of Pres ident Jefferson Davis’ cabinet retained throughout the war the portfolios which they assumed at or soon after the or ganization of the provisional govern ment,on Feb. 8, 18(>1. They were Ste phen E. Mallory, of Florida, Secretary of Navy, and John H. Reagan, of Tex as, Postmaster-General. The latter was the last survivor of the Confederate cabinet. He died in 1905 at the ad vanced age of eighty-seven. When the war began Robert Toombs, of Georgia, the well-known Southern leader, was Secretary of State and head of the cabinet. He soo<i yielded his office to R. M. T. Hunter, of Vir ginia, and he, in turn, was succeeded on March 17, 1862, by Judah P. Benja min, the brilliant lawyer, of Louisiana, who retained the premiership until the close of the war. Benjamin had been Secretary of War and Attorney-Gener al in the Davis cabinet. Leroy P. Walk er, of Alabama, was Benjamin's prede cessor as Secretary of War, having been chosen for that position when the provisional government began its ca reer. When Benjamin stepped from the war office to the State Department his place was taken by Geo. W. Randolph, and after Randolph yielded up the port folio it was held in turn by Gustavus W. Smith, James A. Seddon and John C. Breckinridge. Of all the places in the Confederate cabinet probably the most difficult w that of Secretary of the Treasury. The Southern government was always in need of money, and many writers have attributd its collapse, in the final anal ysis, to shortage of funds wherewith to arm, feed and clothe the men it put into the field. On Charles G. Mem- minger, of South Carolina, fell the on erous task of providing for the finances of the Confederacy, and he held the vexatious position until June, 1864, when he was succeeded by Geo. A. Trenholm. After Benjamin’s short term as At torney-General the law department of the Southern government was placed in charge of Thomas Bragg. On March 17, 1862, Thomas H. Watts became At torney-General, and in 1864 and the brief part of 1865 in which the Confed eracy lasted Geo. Davis, of North Car olina, was Attorney-General. This com pletes the roll of all the men who held cabinet portfolios in the administration of Jefferson Davis, of Mississippi, Pres ident of the Confederate States of America, and Alexander H. Stephens, of Georgia, Vice-President. There were fifteen men in the Con federate cabinets, provisional and other. During approximately the same period, covering the war, only twelve men sat in the Northern cabinet. This may or may not be significant of greater har mony in the Lincoln government. It is certain that there were internal jeal ousies on both sides and that the sto ries of the dissensions of the civil lead ers of both North and South' in the days of the war are unpleasant reading. “Do 1 understand,” said the irate parent, “that there is some idiotic af fair between you and that impecunious young Dedbroke. ” “Not very much, papa,” replied his daughter sweetly, “only you." IT IS SERIOUS. Some Newnan People Fail to Realize the Seriousness of a Bad Back. The constant aching of a bad back, The weariness, the tired feeling, The pains and achesiof kidney ills, Mav result seriously if neglected. Dangerous urinary troubles often follow. A A Newnan citizen shows yoir what to do. C. N. Baker, 14 Carmichael St., Newnan, Ga., says: “Riding over rough roads brought a severe strain on my kidneys and ofr and on for four years I suffered from a dull, weary ache across my back. The kidney secretions became highly colored and I realized that rny kidneys needed treatment. A short time ago I heard about Doan’s Kidney Fills and procured a box from the Lee Drug Co. They quickly re lieved me and acted beneficially in every way. I Bhall always be grate ful for what this remedy has done for me.” Price 60c. at all dealers. Don’t sim ply ask fora kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills-the same that Mr. Baker had. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buf falo. N, Y. The Old Confederate Veteran. Gen. Porter Alexander, Longstreet’s chief of artillery, delivering a speech at West Point on its centennial day, among other things said: “Shall I name to you the Confederate hero who deserves the highest pedestal, who bore the greatest privations, and contributed most freely of his blood to win every victory and resist every de feat? “I name the private soldier. “Practically without pay and on half rations, he enlisted for life or death and served out his contract. He did not look the fighting man he was. He was lean, sunburned, and bearded, often barefooted and ragged. He had nei ther training nor discipline, except what he acquired in the field. He had infe rior arms. Meeting him on the march one might recognize a far-away look in his eyes. “Ho was fighting for his homo. There was nothing anomalous about his fighting. His stimulus was the thought of home. There were his loved oneB. There were his mother and his sister. This brought out the best that was in him. This was true, whether private or general. * * « “We didn’t 00 into our cause; wo were BORN into it. We fought it out to the remotest end and suffered to the very utmost its dying aches ami pains. But they were rich in compensations and have proven to be only the birth- pangs of a new nation, in whose career we are proudly bearing our part. ( “Tho old Confederate veteran, we know him an he HtandH And liaieriH for the thunder of the far-ofT battle landfi; fie heart* tin? tho crash of musketry, the nmoke rolls like a hcu, For ho tramped the fields with Stonewall, and he climbed the hei^htH with Lee. "The old Confederate veteran, hia life ia in the past, And the war-cloud, like a mantle, round hla rusoted form ia coat; He heara the butfle calling o’er the far ami myatic Mfl, For he tramped tin* fields with Stonewall, and he climbed the heighta with Lee." Most Children's Diseases Start With a Cold. Restlessness, feverishness, an in flamed throat and spasmodic cough, maybe whooping cough, is starting in. Give Foley’s Honey and Tar promptly. It helps the children so very much, and Mrs. Shipp, Raymondville, Mo., says: “I got fine results from it, and it is a great medicine for whooping cough.” For sale ly all dealers.

People who read newspapers are funny creatures, taking them up one side and down the other. A man’s wife would rather go out to a poor dinner than stay at home and have a good time. Thoughts For the Day. Let every dawn of every morning be to you as the beginning of life, and every setting of Bun as its close; then let every one of these short lives leave its kindly greeting and record of some kindly deed done for others, some goodly strength and knowledge gained for yourself. Hours fly, flowers die, new days make new ways. Thoy pass by —love stays. Common sense in an uncommon de gree is what the world callB wisdom. We brought no cares into this world, and naked of cares we shall leave it. Therefore to hug them here is foolish. The light of opportunity over shines, but we fail to observe it, because we only look in tho direction from which we think it should corns. Wo sometimes call this life patheti cally "a vale of tears.” Nonsense! It’s a hill of sunshine and gladneBs. We cower down under trees given us, for shelter from the continuous bright ness, and then blame the wise Giver of all because we refuse to Hee but tho shadows. In quiet moments say to yourself; “There is room in God’s world for all his children, and none shall crowd the other. Then compel yourself to see the good qualities of every one, es pecially of those who may have aroused your jealousy. A teacher in a Liverpool school was trying to find from a tiny child the name of his father. He seemed quite unable to think of it, so to help him she aBked: “What do you call him?” “1 call him father,” was the reply. ’’Well, what does your mother call him?” The response was eloquent of the manners of the neighborhood: “She doesn’t cull him anything—she likes him. ” CATARRH VICTIMS Use Hyomcl—You Breathe It.
