Thomas at Reunion of the •;2nd 5a., at Social Circle, Ga., on July 22nd 1399. Comrades of the 42ud Georgia, and Friends: It is my pleasant duty and high honor to address you in opening the exercises on this, our annual reunion. A pleasure, yes, though it may be mixed with sadness. ’Tis hard to analize our feelings in meeting each other once rgaiu. For, when we look each other in the face, and feel the grasp of hand to hand, our hearts are struggling with memories of other days; days when the names and features of our comrades were as familiar as those of our own house holds are today. Looking with eyes filled with tears for the past, there comes that indescribable emotion that throbs our hearts and chokes us as we would say words of welcome. For we realize that here is a true and tried com rade, that fought over the same battle-ground, fed on the same rations, endured the same priva tions ou the long marches, where storms beat upon us, sleet and snow chilled us to the {narrow, or burning suns beat hotly on our aching heads. Here are those who slept under and shared the one and only blanket, stood together on the lone picket linp, and battled shoulder to shoulder against the enemy of our sunny South-land, until fighting was in vain. Never can we forget days that are hallowed to us by such sacred memories; brotherhood that was baptized in blood, and comrade ship that disaster and death could not destroy. For you were true to your cause and true to each other from the day when young in heart and with bouyant hopes you were mustered in, until we stacked our arms at Hight Oint, North Carolina, and surrendered in defeat, not in dishonor, to a victorious, because an overwhelm ing, foe. ' Yes, this is a pleasure in meet ing and addressing you once again. Aud again I say it is an honor— an honor that others among us might share equally with myself, for they, too, have led you in the thickest of the fray, and suffered the same hardships aud dangers that I have done. Though I may have been, by force of circumstances, in com mand when our guns were stacked and surrendered to the victorious legions of our government, I will say here and now, that all who followed our old banner—tattered and torn but ever loved—all do share and have always shared equally in the honors and glories of the gallant old Forty-second Georgia Regiment, But nevertheless, this honor of having been selected as your Com mander, or as ihe President of this Veterans’ Association, I appre ciate more highly than any posi tion that I have ever filled, or that could be offered to me. What more can I say ? May God keep you all in His loving kindness, until, in His goodness, we are permitted to meet again. A part of my pleasant duty is not yet performed. Let me give you a little unwritten history of myself, and the gentleman I will soon present as the orator of the day. Without dwelling on the gallantry and manly qualities of this soldier friend who will talk to us, nor of how he fought and fell so desperately wounded in the battle of Perrysville, Ky., ori our memorable march over the blue grass fields of that state, I will only say that h« has always been as modest as he was brave and fearless in battle, and I will not embarrass him now by dwelling too much on his distinguished ser vices as a Confederate soldier and member of that brave cilu 41st Georgia Regiment, which regi ment fought side by side with us on many a hard-fought field. But I want you to bear with me while I speak of a little personal reminiscence of the long ago. Just, after the war I commeuced, as we all did, to look about me and see what, I had in the way of worldly goods to commence life over again, for I had, like yon, staked my all and lost. My wife had saved one twenty-dollar gold piece. I had a vacant lot in the city of Atlanta that was somehow saved from the wreck. I traded a note on a prominent gentleman still living in the grand old county of Gwinnett—a note I had carried through the war —for a house in Lawreuceville, once used as a store house for the Lawrencevillo Fac tory. I called on a good frieudly carpenter to aid me in taking this house to pieces, with a view of hauling it to Atlanta, 30 miles or more. But to move this house over a wagon road, and rebuild it, with only twenty dollars on hand, was an undertaking, But members of my grand old regiment came to my rescue —they came in from all parts of the county with their horses, mules and wagons, and by their timely assistance the house was hauled to Atlanta. I sat on my old army horse, with the same soiled uni form on that I had worn during the war, near the Kimball House corner on Decatur street and watched that long wagon train as it came slowly towards me up the street. I wish you could have seen that picture. My old weather-beaten soldier-friends, with poor old horses and mules, hitched to de lapidated wagons, over-loaded with lumber belonging to that old house; wagons some of them that had stood neglected of no use all during the war; here they came, winding and moving along as well as they could through streets where one could hardly walk for the dirt, brick and debris from the walls that had fallen during the seige of Atlanta. I used that one gold piece as far as it would go towards paying my kind old army friends, and they waited until I could make the money and pay the balance. Com rades, that house stands in the same pi ace today, and although I have built quite a number of oth ers, I love it best of all. It stands as a monument to the love and devotion of members of my old regiment, and there it shall stand without change or alteration until time shall carry it off. One of the first men I met in this, the darkest hour of my ex perience in the city of Atlanta, was our selected “orator of the day. ” He was there to extend to me the hand of aid and comfort, and this he did with a manner and confidence that I can never for get, for he gave me employment and soon made me one of his trust ed salesmen and traveling agents. It was from this aid of his that I first began life again, and soon began to see the dark clouds dis appear, and bright tints and gol den linings where once all was dark aud gloomy. To a very great degree, there fore, whatever of success I may have attained in this life’s jour ney I attribute to this gentleman. No eulogy I could pronounce could endear him more to your hearts than he is already. It is now my pleasant duty aud honor to pre sent to you Colonel A. J. West, past-commander of Atlanta Camp 159, of United Confederate Vet erans, and our honest, upright, eloquent aud beloved fellow-citi zen. Frkk Of charok.

LAWRENCEVILLE, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 11. 1899. Gov- Cindltr and ths lUcj Praklam- The northern papers are begin ning to show signs of sanity in respect to the race problem in tin South—that is, they are showing a disposition to admit that they know nothing about it, and are trying to inform themselves in re gard to it. The best evidence that it is not understood in ihe North is found in the fact that northern people who come Sent h and live for awhile change the opinion they had of the negro and the treatment he receives from the white people. One of the most intelligent offi cers of a northern volunteer regi ment, which was in camp in this city for several mouths last fall and winter, said that during the short time that he had had for observation in the South, his views respecting the negro, his character and his treatment by the white people, had undergone a complete change. He expressed surprise that the white people carried the burdens which the ne groes imposed upon them so will ingly, and were so kind to them and so considerate of their inter ests. He had no hesitation in saying that if the percentage of negro population was as large iu the North as it is in the South ne groes wouldn’t fair nearly so well there as they do here. The olfi cer’s experience is that of about every northerner who comes South to live. That fact alone ought to be sufficient to arc use a suspicion in the minds of north ern people who are so quick to condemn the southern people for lynchings, that they don’t under stand the situation in the South, so far as the race question is con cerned. Those who read our Atlanta dispatches yesterday saw that the Chicago Inter-Ocean, one of the most extreme of the Republican papers of the West, had asked Gov. Candler the cause of the conflicts between the whites and the blacks, and the remedy, if there be one. The answer of Gov. Candler was frank and to the point. He is evidently anxious that the race situation in the South shall be fully understood. At the same time, he recognizes the difficulty, if not .the impossi bility, of presenting it so that it can be comprehended except by those who take up their residence in the South aud see it for them selves. There is one thing the Governor said, in his answer, that some of the Republican leaders are begin ning to understand, and that is that it is an impossibility for a superior and so inferior race, the two races being pretty nearly equal in numbers and not assimi lating, to live together in harmo ny if they have equal political and civil rights. That this is true history clearly shows. The superior race will not submit to the domination of the inferior one in any degree. Therefore, while education may in the course of time lift the negro to a higher plane of civilization it will not remove the antagonism between the races. The Republican party is begin ning to see that it made a costly mistake when it gave the ballot to the negro, and in the opinion of Governor Candler, aud many other prominent men, North and South, the future welfare of the country is being endangered by the neglect of the government to restrict the ballot among the ne groes to those of their race best fitted to have it. Many of the present troubles between the races is directly traceable to the exer cises of the right of suffrage by negroes • Gov. Candler calls attention to a rather startling fact, namely, that in proportion as illiteracy Parsnip Complexion. It does not require an expert to detect the suffierer from kidney trouble. The hollow checks, the sunken eyes, the dark puffy circles under the eyes, the sallow parsnip-colored complexion indicates it. A physician would ask if you had rheu matism, a dull pain or ache in the back or over the hips, stomach trouble, desire to urniate often, or a burning or scalding In passing it; if after passing there is an un satisfied feeling as if it must be at once repeated,or if the urine has a brick dust deposit or strong odor. When these symptons are present, no time should be lost in removing the cause. Delay may lead to gravel, cattarh of the bladder, infiammatron, causing stoppage, and sometimes requiring the drawing of the urine with instruments, or may rnn into Bright’s Disease, the most dangerous stage of kidney trouble. Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Hoot the great discovery of the eminent kidney and blad der specialist, is a positive remedy for such disease. Its reputation is world-wide and it is so easy to get at any drug store that no one need suffer any length oi time for what of it. However, if you prefer to first test its wonderful merits mention The Lawrence vilie News-Herald and write to Dr- Kil mer & Co. Binghomton, N. Y. for a sample bottle and book telling all about it, both sent absolutely free by mail. : among the negroes has decresed | crime has increased. A little ! learning, aparently, has helped to fill the ranks of vicious and worthless negroes. That may be changed, however, as the negroes acquire property, and therefore a feeling of greater responsibility as citizens. But it will take genera tions under the most favorable circumstances to make the ne groes understand and appreciate the full significance of the ballot. In the meantime, as Gov. Can dler points out, it would be well for Northern people to understand that the people of the South are far better qualified than they are to deal with the race question. They know the negroes and are much more kindly disposed to them than Northern people are. The interference of “fools and fanatics,” says Gov. Candler, can do no good. It only complicates the situation.-r—Savannah News. August Flower. ‘lt is a surprising fact,” says Prof. Houton, “that in my travels in ail parts of the world, for the last ten years, [ nave met more people having qsed Green's August Flower than any other remedy, for dyspepsia, deranged liwer and stomach, and for constipation. I find for tourists and salesman, or for persons filling office positions, where headacoes and general bad feelings from irregular habits exist, that Green's August Flower is a grand rem edy. It does not injure the system by frequent use, and is excellent for sour stomachs and indigestion.” Sample bottles free at Bagwell Bros., l.aw reneeville; Smith & Harris, Suwanee; K. O.

They’ll give you amusement by the hour. A goose hasn’t the slightest idea of breadth or depth. The assertion that every goose that passes through an open barn door ducks its liead, no matter if the opening be 20 feet high, is as true ag can be, and, while a goose can’t be made to believe that there is no danger to its head as it passes over the sill of a barn door, it is equally positive that it can creep through a 2 inch auger hole or a knot hole in a fence just as easily as it can go through a 20 foot door, and with more safety to its person. I have laughed myself sore more times than a few at the persistence of some old goose in trying to en ter an enclosure through a hole in the fence hardly big enough to get its head through, while a gate big enough for a team of horses to pass through was wide open within three feet of the hole. —New York Sun. , Deafness Cannot he Cubed by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear.

The particulars are us follows: At Robitzsch’s still, about six miles from Fitzgerald, on last Tuesday, Jane Ford went to the home of Fannie Harrison, who was confined to her bed, and commenced a row —jealousy being the cause. Jane finally attacked Fannie with a hammer and was beating her over the head with it when one of Fannie’s little boys, whose age is anywhere from 8 to 11 years, rushed into the house, grasped his father’s shotgu n and forthwith proceeded to blow .Jane’s head off.

The program consisted of a declamation contest for a medal, a public debate, and addresses from Prof. J. C. Flanigan and Mr. C. M. Booth. The program was interspersed with sweet and animating music from the Moore- Coker string band. Mr. J. M. Still was the winner of the medal. His subject was, “The Lone Star of Texas,” aud it was his first public speech. The subject for debate was, “Resolved, That the warrior has been of more benefit to his country than the statesman.” It was well argued on both sides, but the affirmative gained the vic tory, and the warriors won the honor. Prof. Flanigan was ora tor of the day, and at 11 o’clock gave us one of his most excellent speeches, which was highly ap preciated by the large and atten tive audience, Prof. Flanigan is a most eloquent speaker, aud nev er fails to capture his audience when he appears upon the stage. Rev. H. N. Rainey was on the program for an address, but failed to appear. Mr. C. M. Booth took his place and gave us a splendid speech.

The Augusta Chronicle, in an article on diversified farming, has the following to say: A few vears ago, Wisconsin was an all grain state. The bonanza grain fields of the northwest and the cheap production of cera's in California and India brought the farmers of the state to a “reckon ing.” They begin to cast about for the cause of their undoing; conviction was forced on tiie mind of every thinking farmer in the state that dependence on exclu sive grain growing must cease and attention be turned to dairy pro ducts and stock raising, etc. And straightway they began to give close attention to the industries numed. They adopted aud prac ticed the motto: Manure, Drain age and Tillage. The results have been gratifying beyond expression. The experi ence of the average farmer was something like that of the man who gave his personal attention to strawberries,cabbage aud colery. In cultivating fourteen acres, he expected SBB4 and cleared SIOO to S2OO per acre. During a severe drouth, he picked 29,000 quarts of strawberries from three aud a half acres and sold them for $2,215.24. Soon as the crop was off, he run in between the rows and set them with cabbage and sold these vegetables amounting to SI,OOO. A farmer who turned his attention to dairying found that thirty cows netted him annually an average of S7B per head, or $2,190 a year. “To err is human,” but to continue the mistake of neglecting your blood is folly.

William Harmon, a resident of Titusville, Pa., committed suicide a few days ago under the melan choly conviction that he was his own grandfather. Here is the singular letter that he left: “I married a widow who had a grown up daughter. My father visited our house very often, fell in love with my step daughter and married her. So my father be came my son-in-law and my step daughter my mother, because she was my father’s wife. Sometime afterward my wife had a son. He was my father’s brother-in-law, and my uncle, for he was the brother of my step mother. My father’s wife—that is my step daughter—also bad a sou. He was of course, my brother, and in the meantime my grandchild, for he was the son of my daugh ter. My wife was my grandmoth er, because she was my mother’s mother. I was my wife’s hus band and grandchild at the same time. And as the husband of a person's grandmother is his graud father, I was my own grandfath er —Exchange.
