AN ADDR^S.
The following poem was composed and road
by Cal. Oscar Brown at the memorial exercise*
by the Daughters of the Confederacy at the
court houte on last Thursday:
Fair daughters of the Confederacy,
Your work is a noble one;
And, if any honor and love you,
’Tig the loyal Confederate song.
Your deeds receive their recompenge,
Your acts show love for the cause,
And your memory of the heroes of the South
Will ever challenge and claim our applause.
The historic muse will cherish
The motives that prompt you to this.
A memorial service of the gallant dead
Who rest in eternal bliss.
We cherish and love the living,
The dead we memorialize,
And the heroism of our fathers
We’ll forever eulogize.
A lost cause, a manly surrender,
Will never our patriotism sever.
For we are sous and daughters of Dixie,
And thus will be forever.
This beautiful southland of ours
Is the garden gpot of the world,
Aud ere long, before we are gone.
We’ll the victor’s banner unfurl.
With rippling waters and laughing brooks,
With mountains and valleys galore.
With fertile soil and purest air—
Wo should not ask for more.
The north turns a critical eye this way
And wonders at the inexhaustible supply
Of gold, iron and other ore.
But it is ours, and they’ll have to buy.
It is ours to be rich and great;
So let us be true to ourselves.
Let us be loyal to our country,
The land where patriotism dwells.
Oh that every voice go up to God
For the glorious South »f today,
And in a seven-fold hallelujah;
For ’tis the land of those who wore the grey.
•
Yea, braver men were never born.
Their valor to display,
And truer men have never lived
Than those who wore the grey.
We jive in charge their names
To go thundering through the ages.
Unequaled as statesmen and soldiers
And unparalleled as modern sages.
A greater than Lee has never lived/.
With a heart full of zeal for God;
And a greater hero than Jackson
Was never laid neath the sod.
The soldierboys who rallied to them
So gallant in battle array,
Were just as true, loyal and great,
Because all of them wore the grey.
So let us honor our dead heroes
With eulogies and llowers today.
And let our Southern youth be taught
To honor those who wore the grey.
Many of them sleep among strangers
In tombs on distant land;
Yet, theylll never be forgotten
So long as our institutions stand.
May the sons of the Confederate dead.
Where patriotism ever dwells.
Live for their country and always sustain
The scenes it makes in memory’s cells.
Grand and glorious Confederate ilag,
It's bars and stars we’ll never condemn,
For ’twill always find a resting place
In the hearts of Southern men.
I wish I could in sculpture engrave
A name where each Confederate lay;
I’d carve in stone, I’d carve in brass.
I’d immortalize those who wore the grey.
To you, fair daughters, we lend
Our voices, our hearts and our name,
To ever perpetuate the memory
Of Confederate heroism and fame.

The Seaboard Air Line
Certainly Knows How to Ad
vertise.
S-’uM Particulars* of l.awrence
ville’s Street Fair.
The industrial Department of
the Seaboard Air Line has hit
upon a rather novel way of ad
vertising the resources of the sec
tion through which the S. A. L.
passes It is to be done through
the medium of Struct Fairs and
Carnivals.
Just now the Street Fairs and
Carnivals seem to be the most
popular attraction for progressive
towns and cities to use as a means
of drawing trade for their various
industries. Thu Street Fairs cause
to visit the towns thousands of
people who spend money with the
hotels and boardihg houses, and
thereby the butchers and bakers
get more orders for their products.
Thousands of dollars are spent
with merchants, milliners, barbers,
blacksmiths, shoemakers, and in
turn the mechanics and laborers
all get their share.
On an average, these Fairs
bring to a small town five thous
and visitors, and to a town the
Bize of Lawrenceville, ten thous
and. If each visitor only spends
one dollar with our hotels, busi
ness people and others interested,
it would leave in the place ten
thousand dollars. On this there
would probably be a profit of
twenty per cent., or two thousand
dollars.
To get up such a fair would cost
the merchants above all income of
rents from shows, privileges, etc.,
about five hundred dollars, and
this would leave a profit of SISOO
for the business men of the town,
besides the general advantage and
pleasure it w'ould he to the people
generally, therefore any town can
afford to spend SSOO to get in re
turn SISOO. These Fairs give a
general impetus to trade and bus
iness that lasts long after the
fan week. They put new life into
the people and in various ways
help them and the place.
The Seaboard Air Line, always
fully up to date and the first to
see how to turn new enterprises
to advantage, has worked out a
plan that enables the progressive
towns along its line to get the ad
vantages of these Street Fairs and
Carnivals at lower rates than any
other towns have yet received
them. In the usual method of
holding the Fairs, a town gets
some experienced person to ar
range for the Fair; the attractions
and decorations are used just for
the Fair, and it is quite costly, for
some of the attractive features,
such as balloonists, rope walkers,
etc., etc., have to be brought for
thousands of miles, and cost con
siderable railroad fare, besides
their salaries. The decorations,
flags, bunting, etc., are used for
the one occasion, and when the
fair is over if the town people
have not spent more than SSOO
above what they have taken in,
they are lucky.
The Industrial Department has
made a contract with an expe
rienced Fair Manager, Dr. Harry
Redan, who goes over the entire
line of road, and each week holds
a Fair and Carnival at some prog
ressive towu on the line. These
Fairs are not held nearer than
within fifty miles of each other,
the attractions go to each Fair,
and a large part of the decora
tions can be used at all of them;
by this combination, a great sav
ing results, which enables the
towns to have the Fairs and Car
nivals at about one half what it
would cost them if they had to
organize and manage the Fair
themselves.
It is estimated that there will
QUESTION ANSWERED.
Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers
and grandmothers never thought
of using anything else for Indiges
tion or Billiousneas. Doctors were
scarce, and they seldsm heard of
Appendecitis, Nervous Prostration
or Heart Failure, etc. They used
August Flower to clean out the
system and stop fermentation of
undigested food, regulate the ac
tion of the liver, stimulate the
nervous and organic action of the
system, and that is all they took
when feeling dull and bad with
headaches and other aches. You
only need a few doses of Green’s
August Flower, in liquid form, to
make you satisfied there is noth
ing serious the matter with you.

he a nice little sum of money
above expenses at each of the
| fairs, coming in from the small
admission fees charged at the gato
and such amusing features as are
to be seen at all first class fairs.
This surplus fund, the Manager of
the Fairs, Dr. Harry Redan, is
under contract with each town to
deposit in the hands of Mr. John
T, Patrick, Chief Industrial Agent
of the S. A. L., to be used in car
rying the products of the town
north ai.d exhibiting them in the
northern towns and cities during
the next three years, commencing
late this fall, if he gets over the
line early enough.
The plan is, teat the Doctor
holds the Fairs in the towns along
the S. A. L., he is to offer pre
miums for the best products of
the sections, and in this way get
the farmers to bring out the finest
specimens of field crops, woods,
mineral, timber, etc., and the best
of these are selected and arranged
in attractive shape for the north
ern exhibit. Dr. Redan is to pre
pare printed matter descriptive of
each town and section he visits,
and the pamphlets are to be dis
tributed by the thousands at the
Fails and Carnivals north. This
is without auy question the most
economical, practical aud effect
ive way of advertising the re
sources of auy section, and the
S. A. L. is to be commended for
being so prompt in seeiug how the
Street Fairs and Carnivals could
be used for two good purposes:
one, to bring business to the mer
chants of its town, and the other
to give the towns the biggest and
most effective advertisement they
nave ever had.
We predict that there will not
be a town on the line of the S. A.
L., but what will fully co-operate
with Dr. Redan, the gontlemau
with whom the Industrial Depart
ment is working to carry out this
great piece of work.
Dr. Redan was at Lawrenceville
and the Mayor called a meeting
of the citizens of the place, and
they at ouce pledged the necessary
guarantee and our town and sec
tion will be one of tbe progressive
number that will co-operate in
the advertising enterprise.
Later on we will give a full de
scription of the Street Fair and
Carnival, with illustrations and
-we will also tell of the attractive
way in which Dr. Redan is to
place our resources up north.
The people who live along the
S. A. L. have cause to be thankful
that they have such a wide awake,
progressive railroad management,
and those who do not have the
S. A. L. running through their
territory are to be sympathized
with.
Hurrati for the grand old S. A.
L. with her new life, new growth !
And, hurrah for the people who
are endeavoring to join with the
S. A. L. in all good works.
We extend to the near-by towns
the thanks of our people tor their
assurance of hearty co-operation
in making our Fair and Carnival
a great success, and we will see
that they get a share of the good
that is to come from the adver
tising of the resources of their
section.

The Cotton Crop Sure to be Short
Col. 11. Bussey, one of the best
posted men in the south on crop
j conditions, said recently that it
was practically certain that a largo
crop of cotton would not be made
this year.
“Even in this section of Georgia
ai d Alabama,” said he, “the rains
are begining to make the situation
somewhat serious. A large part
of the cotton was freshly planted
when the rains set in, so that the
lands were easily washed. This
is especially true of the hillsides,
while in the bottoms so much
moisture rots the seed. It is evi
dent that stands from the first
planting will be very poor, as a
rule, and a great deal of replant
ing will be necessary. The prob
lem now confronting the farmers
is where to get the seed for re
planting. The first planting prac
tically consumed about all the
seed in this section In fact, in
some cases, the acreage intended
for cotton had to be reduced, be
cause the farmers could not get
the seed. Last fall and winter,
prices of cotton seed were a little
high, which induced farmere to
Bell down their supplies closer than
usual. This was especially the
case with negro tenants, who, with
their usual improvidence, sold
pretty much all the cotton seed
they had, depending upon their
landlords aud white neighbors for
their supplies at planting time.
“If the rains continue much
longer, the situation will become
more serious, but it is hardly like
ly that the damage will be any
thing like bo extensive in this sec
tion as in Texas and Mississip
pi, and certain portions of Ala
bama. The scarcity of seed is gen
eral throughout the cotton belt,
aud it is very sure that much of
the lands overflowed in those
states will not be planted in cot
ton on this account, even if the
farmers had the time to prepare
their lands before the* season for
planting is over. Even if the
rains should cease now, it would
be several weeks before the bottom
lands would be dry enough to be
plowed up and prepared for plant
ing.”
A number of well known farm
ers in the city discussed the scarci
ty of cotton'seed aud the necessity
for leplanting, advancing pretty
much the same views on the sub
ject expressed by Colonel Bussey.
The warehousemen are takiug a
good deal of interest in the sub
ject, and the reports of the floods
as published in the Enquirer-Sun
were the general topic of conversa
tion among the cotton men. The
concensus of opinion seems to be
that the crop will be shorter
this year than it was last. The
damage done by the rains and the
scarcity of the cotton seed will
certainly cut down the crop,which,
of course, is liable to be injured
by other disasters before it is made
and gathered. The only encour
aging feature of the situation is
that a short crop will mean good
prices. The farmers in this sec
tion have planted a larger acreage
in corn and small grain than
usual, and will have plenty of
“hog, hominy and hay” at home.

A Hopeless Fight.
Gold win Smith, the well-known
Canadian writer, in a brief talk
on the South African war last
Monday, called attention to one
thing that may have escaped the
attention of the averago new spaper
reader, and that is that the Boers
have no reserves. The boys and
the grandfathers are now in the
ranks. Their number, never great,
must soon show the effect of dis
ease and British bullets. With a
might)’ empire, such ns Great
Britain is, as their foe, it is only
a question of time when they will
be exhausted and will have to
yield
But they are making a record
that, will not be forgotten. Few
people have fought as heroically
for independence as they are fight
ing. Even their women are hand
ling rifles in the trenches and are
offering their lives a willing sacri
fice for their country.
The war is not over, of course,
and it may not be over for many
months. The road from Bloem
fontein to Pretoria is a long one —
1500 miles. It is a road of sand
most of the way, and there are
numerous kopjes from behind
which a small Boer force will be
able to make the advance of the
British army exceedingly difficult.
Many a British soldier will lose
his life in the march to the Tras
vaal capital.
And the war will not be over
when Pretoria is reached. It
is the understanding that even
now the Boers are proparing to re
tire to tho hills when they can no
longer resists the British advance.
From their strongholds there it
will be practically impossible for
1 the British to dislodge them.
They will make raids on the Brit
ish and will keep the country in a
state of constant agitation. One
authority estimates that it will
