To Houston County Veterans.
At a meeting of Houston Chapter
Daughters of the Confederacy last
Monday afternoon, in Perry, when
crosses of honor were bestowed up
on a number of. veterans, Mrs. F. M.
King, president of the Chapter, de
livered the following address:
“It has ever been woman’s pleas
ure to honor the brave, and again it
is the privilege of the Daughters of
Houston to bestow upon her heroes
the Southern Cross of Honor, as a
proof that your record as soldiers
was faultless,' and that the cause for
which you fought was right and
just. We honor you for a duty well
done, knowing that you were never
whipped, but simply exhausted from
whipping numerous odds.
“You have taught the world that
even death itself is nothing com
pared to principle and priceless
honor. Surely, then, to you above
all men are crosses of honor due.
“To keep up sectional feeling and
strife is not the object of the Daugh
ters of the Confederacy. We have
a higher, a nobler,a grander purpose.
We seek no pearl on the foam-crested
wave, nor gilded oars on the surface
of the teeming earth, but we do seek
to harmonize sectional feeling by
honoring patriots who wore the blue
and those who wore the gray, with
a firm and abiding purpose that the
truth shall bo known, aud that jus-;;
tice to the South shall be done.
“Our first object is the bestowal
of crooses of honor, a priceless heir
loom and a silent witness of your
devotion and patriotism.
“Then to erect a monument to
the Confederate dead of Houston
county.
“To oompile faots for a true his
tory of Houston county’s part in the
war between the states, that future
generations may know thal you are
heroes and patriots.
“And to assist in the education of
the children of of helpless and de
pendent Confederate veterans.
“We fe^l a great necessity of col
lecting correct information, and ask
that each and every one of you will
furnish us with some reminiscence
of your camp life, that we may com
pile the same for history, thereby
holding up the glories of the living
and the dead.
“The shadows are lengthening for
some of you and soon, like Israel of
old, you will say: “Let us go, for
the day breaketh.” Be ye ready,
therefore, for whatever the Giver-of-
Live may demand, knowing that to
live in the hearts that we love is not
death. ■ . *
“May peace and love rest in your
hearts, go with you to your homes
and there abide with you always, is
the sincere wish of the Daughters of
the Confederacy!”

State, Columbia, S. 0., was shot on
the streets of that city by Lieut.
Gov. James H. Tillman last Thurs
day. The editor was going from
his office to lunch and Tillman had

when he was a candidate for gov
ernor. Just prior to the shooting
there was no difficulty of any sort,
nor words,between them. The pis
tol bullet entered the right side,
passing through the body, cutting
the intestines in several places.
Tillman was arrested and placed in
jail, and Gonzales removed to the
hospital, wherp he received medical
attention. At 1 o’clock Monday af
ternoon he died.

Schools of National Reputation.
Draughon’s Practical Business Col",
leges, located at Atlanta, Nashville, St.
LouiB, Montgomery, Little Rook, Fort
Worth, Galveston aud Shreveport, aro
schools of national reputation. They
are strongly endorsed by business men
from Maine to Oalisornia. Prof. Dragh-
on, who is author of four text-books on
Bookkeeping, and proprietor of thesedu-
stitutions, doubtless expends more mon
ey for securing positions for his students
than almost any one business college in
this country takes;; in as tuition.' He
guarantees positions under reasonable
conditions, and will'allow a student to
deposit money in bank till the course is
completed and position seoured. Four
weeks course of Bookkeeping in his col
leges is equaj to twelve weeks in auy col
lege that does not employ his improved
methods of teaching, fiis Colleges also
offer speoial advantages in Penmanship,
Shorthand, Typewriting, etc. It 1b gen
erally conceded by those who aro in po
sition to know that Prof. Draughon’s
success iu the Business College work has
been greater than that of any one else.
His superior oourse of instruction aud
his speoial facilities for securing posi
tions are almost an offset to competition
where the merits of his work are known.
His illustrated catalogue will explain
all. Send for it. Address J. F. Draugbon,
President, at either of the above men
tioned places.
