VETERANS IN ATLANTA
( -
Made Welcome by Thousands
of Loyal Georgians.
10,000 MARCHED IN PARADE
General Clement Evans Received Ova
tion Along the Line of March—Gov
ernor Smith Reviews Parade.
Atlanta, Ga. —Between banks of
bared beads which lined the sidewalks
and streets of this city, the sweetest
sentiment of the south, crystalized in
the Confederate Veterans of Georgia,
at their eleventh annual reunion in
what has been declared to be the big
gest and most successful parade ever
held by this organization.
It is estimated that there were in
line of march between 7,500 and 10,-
00*0 men, women and children, and
that this splendid pageant was wit
nessed and applauded by 50,000 peo
ple, who stood in line and watched
the parade, which took an hour and a
half to pass a given point.
Of this number 3,010 were grizzled
veterans of the war between the Con
federate States of America and the
United States of America, the Observ
ed of all observers and the cynosure
of all eyes.
The lame, the halt and the blind
were there. Marching two by two, of
tentimes holding he*ds for guidance
and support, they we Iked with a firm
tread, with uplifted faces, lighted
countenances and a buoyancy that lift
ed them above those who watched
from the side lines.
There was a halo and glamor
thrown about these heroes of the old
south that brought tears to the eyes
of many and checked back the cheers
of those who wished to give answer
to the ringing rebel yell of the men
who fought for the cause they knew
was right.
General Clement A. Evans, Comman
der-in-Chief of the United Con
federate Veterans.
Under a brilliant sun, with the
warm October air sending the blood
coursing through the veins of all, the
parade—and it was a parade of which
Atlanta will always be proud —was
formed and promptly on time began
to move under command of Grand
Marshal J. F. Burk, who was mount
ed upon a spirited charger.
Between the banks of cheering
thousands he led the way followed
by the young lady riders, and other
aides, across the viaduct and in front
of the governor’s mansion, where
they halted to review the veterans
on parade.
With hared heads, riding prancing
steeds with the ease and grace which
made them famous during the dark
days of ’6l-’65, came General Clement
A. Evans, the idol of the Confeder
ates and the commander of the Unit
ed Confederate Veterans; General W.
A. Wright, who rode a charger, though
he lost a leg iii the war, with as much
ease as any cavalry officer; Captain
R. E. Park, and others.
Tlieir approach was signalized far
down the line by a rumble cf cheers,
like thunder, which grew into a roar
as General Evans arrived with
head bared, gray hair wind-tossed and
a smile as sweet as that of a woman
for all. His great gray cloak thrown
hack exposing himself to the wintry
winds that swept the streets as fear
lessly as, when younger, he faced the
bullets for the south he loved so well.
And when he passed ’twas like the
ceasing of some exquisite song. Cheer
after cheer greeted him on all sides,
and he was made the central figure of
the parade.
All military stood at “Present”
when he rode by. The governor sa-
BULLOCH TO TAKE CONVICTS.
County Will Have Road Force of Over
Fifty Convicts.
•Statesboro, Ga. —At the meeting of
the county commissioners here, it was
recommended that Bulloch county take
all the convicts she can get under the
new apportionment that will be made
upon the expiration of the present
lease on March 30th, next.
Under the old apportionment this
county was entitled to nineteen con
victs. Already about thirty-three mis
demeanor convicts are at work on the
public roads and together with about
twenty-five that the county will re
ceive as her share of the felony con
victs a road force of more than fifty
convicts will be available.
luted with uncovered head, and re
ceived a courtly salute in return.
Preceded by old and battle-torn
flags, the ones that were riddled with
shot and shell, wnippecjf into shreds by
the wind and all but gone, the vete
rans came, 3,000 strong.
To the spectators the sight was a
sad one. To veterans the parade was
a gala manifestation of a reunited
body. Some walking on crutches, oth
ers walking on wooden legs, still oth
ers hobbling on sticks, others carrying
empty sleeves and still others bent
with age and blind, they walked with
heads held high and faces shining.
Ever and anon there would come from
one the old rebel yell. It would be
taken up by another until it went
thundering "down the line and was
drowned in the applause of those it
thrilled. ‘
Others marched to the tune of their
campfire songs, and “Tenting To
night,” “Dixie,” “Suwannee ißiver”
and “Nellie Gray” were heard on the
streets foi* the first time in years.
They sing it different from the way
it is sung now. The various camps,
and there were ninety-two, every
one in the state, were represented in
the parade. Some of the camps
were represented by a single dele
gate and others, like the Atlanta
camps, were represented by the en
tire membership.
Five women who went through the
war as nurses, either in the field or at
the hospitals at home, marched proud
ly in the parade with their husbands.
It was noticeable and never failed
to draw attention.
Two old-time negroes, slaves who
served in the war as body servants,
too marched in the line of parade just
a little in the rear of “old marster/’
One toted his knapsack and the other
carried a foraged guinea and a shin
ing skillet.
A number of tb£ veterans wore their
confederate gray uniforms and several
had the uniforms which they wore
at the surrender.
At the business session Athens was
chosen as the place for the next corn
ventlon, and the following officers
were elected:
Major General Louis G. Young of
Savannah, commander of the Geor
gia division, United Confederate Vet
erans. - ,
Brigadier General John O. Wad
dell of Cedartown, commander of the
Northern Brigade of Georgia.
Brigadier General Benjamin Mill

Brigade of Georgia.

BOLL GEORGIA.
Pest Will Soon State
If Not Checkeife^^
Atlanta, Ga.—“ The is
traveling from the west
g ia at the rate of from seventy-five
to one hundred miles a year,” said
State Entomologist E. L. Worsham
at the state capitol, “and I believe if
it is not checked it will reach the cot
ton field of Georgia within four or
five years.”
This statement was prompted by
the fact that a monster meeting of
the agricultural association, entomol
ogists, etc., who are interested in the
boll weevil plague, will be held in
Natchez, Miss., November 24tli to the
27th, for the purpose of devising some
means, if possible, for combatting this
menace to the cotton crop.
Entomologist Worsham has been in
vited to attend this meeting and has
accepted United States Secietaij of
Agriculture James Wilson will he
present, as will the various commis
sioners of agriculture throughout the
south. , , , .
A number of weevils thought to be
the boll weevil have been sent to En
tomologist Worsham this fall, but
upon investigation it has proved that
none of them are the dreaded boll
weevil, and Georgia is free from this
pest up to this date. This department
is watching carefully all shipments of
cotton seed and cotton seed hulls
from the infested districts, and to see
that the quarantine law is not evad
ed. Because of the boll weevil in the
west, these tainted seed and hulls
are sold more cheaply than the Geor
gia product, which is attracting some
of the merchants.
Entomologist Worsham urges that
cotton seed and cotton seed hulls he
purchased in Georgia from Georgians
to avoid running any risk.
In view of the fact that cotton seed
hulls and meal have come to he ac
cepted as the best cattle feed in the
south, being cheaper and more bene
ficial than any other cattle feed, a
erreat deal of "interest is attached to
the sale of the cotton seed and its
by-products. The cotton seed of Geor
gia are up to the required standard.
BUILD GOVERNMENT ROAD.
Roads May Be Constructed to Mili
tary Post Near Atlanta.
Romo, Ga.—ln the opinion of Hon.
Gordon Lee, a government road from
Chickamauga Park to the military post
near Atlanta will he constructed, pass
ing through Rome. Mr. Lee thinks
the county commissioners of Walker
county will be favorable to the work
ing of convicts and that it will take
its quota for that purpose. The coun
ty will likely approve a bond issue
of SIOO,OOO for road construction.
There is already about 50 miles of
government road in Walker county
and a bond issue will give an addi
tional 100 miles.
