How the South Was Redeemed From
Horrors of Reconstruction.
Jrh. Callaway In Mnron Telegraph.
Dr. J. A. Wyeth, in his book, "With
Sabre and Scalpel,” speaks of the "Re
construction" days in Norlhern Ala
bama. He says —
"In the four years which had elapsed
since the soldiers of the Confederacy
had returned to their homes, laboring
for the support of l heir families and
the rehabilitation of their country,
there was being attempted by the rad
ical wing of the Republican party then
in power the perpetration of the most
monstrous political crime in the records
of history. The infamy which is asso
ciated with the partitionof Polandsinks
into insignificance when compared to
that which justly attaches to the effort
to hold in subjection to an alien negro
race (but a few months before in bond
age) tlie white peoplejof the South, the
former owners of these froedmen. The
only instance in all (lie annals of the
world's history.
"Keeping alive the bitterness which
a long and bloody civil war had engen
dered, under the adroit leadership of
Thaddeus Stevens, lion Wade and
James G. Blaine, this immortal trium
virate of 'wavers of the bloody shirt’so
pluyed upon the fears and prejudices of
the electorate of the North as to main
tain themselves in power for years and
to secure in the National Congress leg
islation favorable to their schemes.
“To the freed slaves the franchise
was given without restriction. The only
qualification was color and a certificate
of slavery. The best white people of
tho South were not allowed to vote.
My own father was disfranchised, while
Peyton, one of our former slaves, who
still lived with us, performing the same
service he had done before he was
freed, announced himself as u candi
date for the Legislature! A company of
negro troops garrisoned my native
town, Guntersville, and another negro
company was stationed in Franklin, the
county seat of Marshall county.
“Backed by these soldiers—for the
Southern States were partitioned off in
military districts—elections were held,
and the State and county governments
were handed over to hordes of adven
turers. The 'carpet-baggers,' who,
hailing from all quarters of the earth,
where many of them had neither local
habitation nor name, swarmed into the
country; to tho 'scalawags,' the unrec
ognized and unprincipled 'down and out'
white natives; and last, hut not least,
to the negroes, their easily-handled
tools, stunned almost to irresponsibility
bv the suddenness of their advance
ment, and pitifully drunk with power.
"At first the ex-t’onfederates were
submissive and silent. They looked on
these strange happenings with sadness
and amazement, and later with indig
nation. as they realized that the safety
of their wives and children was endan
gered. The awakening came when the
carpet-baggers and scalawags, under
the auspices of the Freedmen’s Bu
reaus, undertook to effect the military
organization of the freedinen in the
various counties of the States, tin
these leagues the negroes were being
taught that they were entitled to white
wives.)
"It was then that there sprang into

existence, as in a night, throughout the
South, that weird, invisible army whose
weapon was terror. The Ku-Klux-Klan
was ready for business. It was com
posed of the best citizens of the South,
young men largely, led by veteran sol
diers. The negroes were holding night
meetings. Their organizations were
growing. The carpet - baggers were
drilling them. The plan was to arrest
the carpet-bagger drill master, give
him a whipping and order him to leave
the Stale. The leading negroes were
called to the doors of their cabins at
dead of night by mounted and masked
men. who in sepulchral tones told them
that tho ghosts of the dead from the
battlefields were wandering back to
warn them to beware of strangers and
stuy ut home and mind their own busi
ness. When the case was extreme and
needed discipline, to avoid recognition
and urrest (for Congiess was eager to
punish the Ku-Klux,) notice was sent
to the klan of an adjoining county, and
these rode over at night to carry out
the wishes of their brothers, who could
establish thus an alibi.”
Thud Stevens, the author of recon
struction, was u crank on miscegenation.
Tilings were leading up to where, with
negroes armed and drilled by carpet-bag
gers, under the auspices of the Freed
man's Bureaus, (a Government milita
ry institution,) that our white women
were unsafe. Something desperate had
to be done. It was done. The Invisi
ble Empire, whose hea-i man was the
Grand Wizard, whose orders had to be
obeyed regardless of consequences.
Nathan Bedford Forrest, that "Wizard
of the Saddle,” and the greatest mili
tary genius developed on either side in
the war of the sixties, was the chief
who directed this wonderful organiza
tion. Willi eager eye he -aw the under
lying menace to the white women of
the South —whither the teachings of
the "loyal leagues" were tending.
At thu time we had few friends at
the North. "Black heels on white
necks" was the motto of the Republi
can party. All arms were taken from
the Southern people an i given to the
negroes. John Brown was the patron
saint of the Republican radicals in pow
er. The "loyal leagues" were to all ap
pearances preparing in every communi
ty to itnitute N'at Turner's murders in
Virginia, or re-enact John Brown Har
per’s Ferry raid-a raid that precipita
ted secession and the war. Forrest
nipped in the hud these armed negro
organizations and frustrated the diabol
ical plans of the followers of Thad Ste
vens The women of the South should
build great monuments to Forrest. Ho
blazed the way for redemption from re
construct >n.
None hut those who went through it
have any conception of the great civic
struggles to redeem our States from
the destruction of “Reconstruction.’’
They were the greatest civic battles
ever fought. As Judge Alton B. Par
ker, in his Waldorf-Astoria speech on
celebrating Jefferson's birthday, said;
“Indeed, nothing in all the recorded
history of mankind has been more pa
thetic, more heroic, more deserving of
admiration and sympathy than the at
titude of the South since 1865. As fate
would have it. their defeat in war was
the smallest of their woes, because it
could neither threaten nor bring dis
honor. Buc the new contest—with par
tisan rancor, with military power, with
theft and robbery and all manner of
oppressions, with poverty and enforced
domination of a race lately in slavery—
forced as it was without time for re
covery and that, too, in their own homes
— required a courage little less tnan su
perhuman."

We were forcibly struck the other
lay by the truth of a remark made by
a man who at the time was under
serious difficulty over the crop that had
sprung up from the wild oats he had
sown when a boy. A little friend of
his was pouring out his grief over
some chastisement, when he gently re
marked: "Take all your corrections
kindly, and be thankful to anyone who
cares enough for you to teli you of
your mistakes, or warn you when you
first begin to go astray. For,” he con
tinued sadiy, "the more corrections you
receive ami profit by when young, the
less you will receive from the world
when older.”
A truer statement was never uttered.
What a responsibility, then, upon pa
rents! Will it pay to close your eyes
to the fact? All our corrections should
be made with an eye to the future as
well as the present. There should be
principle involved. Let our children
feel that it is our duty to punish them
sometimes, never a pleasure. In our
desire that their young lives be full of
joy and gladness, will it be wise to re
frain from imparting to them a know
ledge of the sterner realities of life?
Will it pay to allow them to go un
taught? We must teach them so judi
ciously the difference between the
trend upward and the trend downward,
that of their own accord they will
eschew those pleasures of a doubtful
nature.
We cannot guard our boys and girls
too closely. Many a fair flower lan
guishes and dies before its time. It
will,not pay to close our eyes to the
sins around us, thinking our boys and
girls proof against those influences.
Above all things, teach the girls to be
natural. Do not allow them to get into
those simpering, giggling, foolish ways
that so many young misses appear to
think smart; and yet do not cause them
to feel that you desire to put "old
heads on young shoulders." Far from
it. Let young people be young people
still, hut the while not forgetting that
there is far more real happiness in be
ing pure and true than can be found
along any other line.

VERY UNHAPPY
Physically and Mentally Worn
Out—Tells How Nervous
and Crying Spells Were
Ended by Vinoi.
Monmouth, Ill.:—“I was weak, worn-
out and nervous. I had no appetite and
v as getting so thin and discouraged,
one day I just broke down and cried
when a friend came in and asked me
what was the matter. I told of my
condition and how nothing I took seemed
to do me any good. Vinol was suggested.
I got a bottle and before it was half
gone I could eat and sleep well. I
continued its use and now my friends
say I look ten years younger, and I am
well, healthy and strong. I wish I
could induce every tired-out, worn-out,
nervous woman to take Vinol.”—Mrs.

When Will There Be Peace ?
Mobile Register.
Elderly people, who recall what feats
of financing were performed by the
Government of the Southern Confed
eracy in carrying on a war for two
years after there wa3 no real reason to
hope for a successful issue, have had
their doubts as to the correctness of the
predictions made in these later days
that the European nations must soon
stop fighting for lack of money. Some
nine thousand millions of dollars have
been expended in the war so far, and
the cost per day is mounting higher in
stead of decreasing; but none of the
countries appears financially exhausted
or even in distress. The truth is, the
war is conducted largely on credit.
There will be immense war debts lelt
after the war is over, but that cannot
be helped. It is one of the accompany
ing evils of the war. Peice, there
fore. will not come early because cf
monetary considerations, but because of
tactical mistakes or military exhaustion.
When the warring nations of one side
overcome those of the other, or both
sides become convinced that the affair
is a "dogfall,” peace will be concluded;
and this last may be nearer at hand
than most people suppose.

both as to quantity and materials, the
health of the kidneys and the quality of the

It Is also demonstrated in the skin. And
