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!” THE WILLIAMS, HUSSY COMPANY. MACOIST, GEORGIA Editor N. G. Gonzales, of The 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 just left the state capitol where he had presided over a session of the senate.

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.

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.
