Proposed Change of Memorial Day.
It is proposed to change Mombrial
X)rv in the sooth to the 30th of May,
so as to make it conform to decora
tion Dav” in tlia north. The 80th of
May is a national holiday, and on that
•lav every national cemetery blooms
like a garden. The people of the
north do not yield to the people of
the south in theirlove for their soldier
dead, or in the honors which they
pay to their memory.
A committee of 11. E. Lee Camp
No l. Confederate Veterans, Rich
mond, Va., has addressed a circular
to the Confederate Memorial socie
ties of the south, suggesting that the
same day be selected throughout the
south for paying proper respect to
the dead of the late confederacy. The
:10th of May is recommended for the
reason that flowers will be abundant
in every part of the country at that
time and being a national holiday,
all who choose can give that day its
proper observance. Governor l'itz-
hugh Lee, Col. Charles J. Anderson,
General John R. CoOke, Colonel
John B. Purcell and Major Thomas
A. Brander are of the committee
making this suggestion.—Atlanta
Constitution.
The proposed change of memorial
day in the south, as stated by the
Constitution, will doubtless meet with
considerable opposition and perhaps
be repudiated by the majority of the
Southern people. As a matter of feel
ing, many will perliapB think that the
first flowers of spring, when they are
most welcome, after the cold storms
of winter and when they llrst appear
on the bare bosom of mother earth,
will be the most appropriate to adorn
the resting placesof our hero soldiers.
Then again, the motives of the people
of the two sections in going out to
their cemeteries to do honor to the
memory of their dead are in a man
ner incongruous; the northern soldier
being honored for having given his
life to deprive us of our right of self-
government, while the southern sol
dier died to secure to us that right.
Besides, the 80th of May is the nation
al “Decoration day,” appointed to
keep green the memoryjof those who
died for the Union eause, and it may
well be believed that if we of tlit*
b'outh adopt it, it will not be long be
fore our distinctive cause for observ
ing the day will he overlooked or ab
sorbed in the great national move
ment to honor those “who saved the
Union.” We are inclined, at present,
to go slow in taking, any step that
may have any such result. The un
deriving motive of the Southern peo
ple 'is totally different in this matter
from that of the Northern people and
t would probably be better to keep
separate the days on which the two
sections give outward manifestation
of the feelings which animate them.
Death of Cadet Hioks.
That a death should occur in a body
of 400 students should not besv matter
< f surprise, even in as healthy a locali
ty as Milledgeville but it is a matter of
profound regrot that this fate should
befall such an one as the subject
of this notice. Benj. G. Hicks was
the son of of Dr. H. Hicks, who several
months since removed from Laurens
county to this city for the purpose of
giving his children the superior fa
cilities for education afforded by our
c ollege. The young cadet was in the
nineteenth year of his age, and pos
sessed those amiable and attractive
personal qualities which won the
esteem and regard of the faculty and
of his companions. His father had
taken one of his children to Atlanta
to have a necessary surgical operation
performed upon it and in his absence
bis son, Benjamin, was taken with a
fever which was of so malignant a
type that it resisted the treatment of
his physicians and ran its course to a
'iCal termination in less than si* days,
aim before his father, after the news
of his serious illness was communica
ted to him, could return to give him
tin 1 benefit of ids professional skill
Hiul bis comforting presence. The
leatli of the young man occurred on
Thursday afternoon last, and on Sat
urday morning his remains were
placed on the train to be carried to
the former home of the family in
Laurens county for intt rment.
Besides members of the family, a
detachment of the cadets, went along
us an escort, under tne uommund of
Adjutant Kich'd. H. Hutchings, con
sisting of Lieutenant (4. G. Crawford,
cadets T. E. Hubert. R. A. Brinson,
C. W. Minor, E. S. My rick, H. M. Ed
wards, B. A. Cole and’ J. H. t^herly.
The death of Cadet Hicks, under all
circumstances, could not fail to make
a profound impression upon his com
panions and the students of the Col-
,cgc in general and a feeling of sin
cere regret and sympathy with his
relatives and his more intimate friends
and associates no doubt permeates
our whole community. We are glad
that we are able to say that he was a
member of the Baptist church and
therefore, was prepared, we trust, to
meet the final Judge of all the living,
in the possession of a Christian's sav
ing faith.
A Mistake Corrected.
In Col. Torn Fort’s address at Chat
tanooga, which we copy from “the
Commercial” newspaper of that city,
he is represented to have said that at
the close of the war a million and a
half of Federal and a million and a
quarter of Confederate soldiers turned
their faces homewards. This state
ment is so inconsistent with “the facts
of history,” that we are constrained
to believe that there was atypograph-
ca.1 error in the report. If there was
even a quarter of a million of Confed-
< ratws. under arms at that time, it
was a far larger number, than we
.ave’ever believed. The “intelligent
compositor,” in the exercise of a priv
ilege which he so often unwarrantably
ursurps must have added a million to
t.ie number mentioned by Col. Fort.
The Soldiers’ Orphan*.
We find in the Chattanooga “Daily
Commercial” an account of a concert
given in that city on the 18th inst., in
aid of “The Orphan's Home,” an in
stitution intended to care for the or
phans of soldiers on both sides of
the great war between the states.
At a suitable time during the progress
of the concert, Col. Tomlinson Fort, a
native of this city, who served through
the war ns a Captain in the regiment
of “Georgia Regulars,” was called on
and made a stirring and patriotic ad
dress, in which he drew a pathetic pic
ture of the sad condition of ourSouth-
ern countrv, of the destitution and
and poverty which prevailed through
out our borders when the war closed
and of the sublime fortitude of our
glorious women. He also alluded
feelingly to Gen’l Grant’* bold stand
for the protection of Confederate sol
diers against those who would have
subjected Botne of our Confederate
military leaders to punishment for
their participation in the war, not
withstanding their parole, which
promised them full protection. This
act of Gen’l Grant we hold to bo the
most commendable of his life and one
that shed much greater lustre upon
his name and memory than any mili
tary successes he may have won with
liis large and well equipped armies
over the thinned ranks of Gen’l Lee's
war-worn veterans. The tone of Col.
Fort’s address, tending as it does to
the suppression of the bitter feelings
engendered by the greatest war of
modern times, among those who must
henceforth live under one common
government, is to be commended,
with the proviso that the surviving
Confederate soldiers and their chil
dren have nothing to be ashamed of
but on the contrary much to glory in,
for the part they played in tne great
contest in which they were simply
overwhelmed by superior numbers
and resources. This being “Memor
ial Day,” we conceive that the address,
touching as it does upon things and
memories which naturally occupy the
minds of thoughtful people, will make
appropriate reading at this time and
we therefore reproduce it in our col
umns as follows:
col. fort’s addrkss.
A pleasing innovation was the in
troduction, about the middle of the
programme, of Col. Tom Fort, who
made an address, of which the flow
ing is a verbatim report:
Ladles and Gentlemen:—Twenty
two years ago Lee surrendered, John
ston’surrendered, Kirby Smith sur-.
rendered, the doors of the Temple of
Janus were closed. The war between
the States was ended.
One and a half millions of Federal
soldiers, the best armed, equipped
and of the bravest soldiers the sun
ever shone on, returned to their homes
to receive the gratitude of America
and of the richest and most powerful
government on earth. '
< )ne quarter of a million of those
who had been soldiers of a govern
ment then dead, turned their faces
homeward.
The “ragged rebel,” without a dol
lar in money, bare footed, naked,
hungry, sick and sore, begged his
way homeward, or took his food by
force; necessity knew no law. Rail
roads had been torn up, all roads lead
ing home were marked by earth
quakes, chimneys alone showing
where houses and cities and towns
had been once built. Mothers, fath
ers, sisters, brothers, wives, children,
all bankrupt by the cruel necessity of
civil war.
In the language of John Bunyan, “it
was the horriblest sight I ever saw.”
Brave men, who had faced starvation,
half clad, barefooted, without pay
for more than four years, and had
left for history, and for the American
people a record of bravery on a thou
sand bloody fields of battle, which will
live for all time, reached their homes,
gathered around their ruined hearth
stones humiliated. Silence prevailed.
Awful silence alone betrayed the mag
nitude of the general wreck and ruin.
Not a word of reproach from a South
ern woman. The Southern man
could do and die. The Southern wo
man could only endure!
Pandora’s box lmd been opened in
the Southland; all the ills to which
flesh is heir had escaped. Hope alone
was left.
For a time it seemed as if there was
written in the portals of the South
the inscription said by Dante to be
i n the doors of hell, “Abandon hone
all ye that enter here.” Our beauti
ful skies still remained, the stars
twinkled as of yore, the limpid waters
of our glorious mountain streams still
flowed as they have “ever since the
stars sang together.” Nature and na
ture’s God said rebuild the waste
places, and feed and clothe the! quar
ter of a million of widows and orphans
of the men who died as so'diers of
! “the lost cause.”
: The first word of kindness from all
! the outside word came from the big
J brain and big heart of General U. S.
Grant, commanding and in the name
of the Federal Armv. “I have parol
ed General Lee and his armies. If the
Government attempts to arrest them,
except for violating their paroles, I
will, at the head of the American ar
my, protect them according to the
terms of their paroles.”
Thank God, the South is not a Po
land—is not an Ireland.
The grandest victory of the late
war was the victory of the Fed
eral soldiery over the Federal politi
cians at the close of that war.
America and Americans alone can
do this. The history of civil wars may
be written “vee victis,” woo to the
conquered.
The progressive civilization of those
brave men “the boys in blue” arose
above the lessons of history. A new
departure has been made.
The brave have ever been gener
ous.
“The boys in blue” iu thunder tones
demanded of the American Govern
ment that the “boys in gray” be al
lowed to reassume the duties, the
golden opportunities of American
citizenship.
From that day the late armies, Fed
eral and Confederate, have united
to rebuild and repair the wreck of
that war.
Tim restored United States of A-
merica, the most powerful and
richest nation of earth, has, as it
ought to have done, cared for the
widows and orphans of the Federal
soldiery in a manner that isasource of
pride and pleasure to every Ameri
can. Not a survivor of that six hun
dred thousand “ragged rabble” who
went into the field lias opposed it.
The great mass of us,approve it.
The widows and orphans of the
soldiery of the Lost Cause shared
with us our poverty. A hard strug
gle for individual existence left little
to divide.
Woman, God's last and best gift to
mankind, heard the voices of our
helpless little ones. Ever a leader
in all that makes mankind better, in
all that brings a smile to the face of
“God’s poor,” she organized Orphan
Homes in different localities in our
beloved Southland.
The next great kindness from the
outside world came from the moth
ers, wives and widows of the Fed-
al soldiers, who assisted to organize
these homes, and they have, out of
their substanoe, helped to support
them.
The late “war between the states”
was a family quarrel. In the senti
ment of the questions arising out of
it and in the care of our orphans,
“No foreign nation need apply.”
The Chattanooga Orphans’ Home
was not organized especially for the
orphans of Confederate soldiers. It
was organized by the widows, wives
and mothers of those who were sol
diers in both armies. It represents
the highest type of civilization. Its
doors .have been opened to all or
phans. in our poverty those orphans
have been most frequently of soldiers
of the “lost cause.” The proceeds of
this entertainment are for the benefit
of that home.
Miss Davis, at the request of the
management I have boon requested
to say that they appreciate and thank
you for your presence, as that of a
worthy representative of the women
of our Southland.
Peace! God-like peace! American
peace. Surrounded by the mothers,
wives, widows and daughters; the
fathers, sons and children and those
who were soldiers of both armies in
this “.the neutral ground,” in this the
citv of Chattanooga on the banks of
the blue Tennessee, it is a holy peace.
“The war between the States” lias
ended.. We are from all nations, from
all climes. This occasion and the soul
of Chattanooga attest it.
Permit me to add the hope that the
future of Chattanooga’s Orphans’
Home may be as bright as the sun
shine coloring the morning of your
young life. God bless the American
system. Godblessthe American peo
ple. May our struggles in future be
only such as arise from a generous
rivalry, each striving to accomplish
most of good for America.
' HOW THE WOMEN VOTED.
IIiishand* anti Wive* Fall Out anti the
Dlsreputable and the Colored Sinter*
at a Premium,
[ Leavensworth, Kan., Special to
N. Y. World.]
Woman suffrage made its initial ex
periment in Kansas to-day. The
ports from various parts of tile State
are strongly divergent, but a summary
of the Held seems to give the general
conclusion that the women added to
the Republican majorities. The regis
tration was largely from the lower
class and most general among the ne
groes. In some places where intense
local interest proved the incentive,
the better class of white women were
represented but, even there, they were
in the minority.
The purifying influence of woman’s
vote has proven a deplorable failure
here. Its introduction has been a
disturbing element rather than
benefit. The women brought to bear
influence and pressure as sordid and
corrupting as are those of the male
machine. Money has beeu used. In
stead of lending a refining atmosphere
to the election, the contest has simply
developed the less admirable quali
ties of the gentle sex.
The greatest enthusiasm prevailed
here among the women, who here
the llrst at the polls this morning. In
one ward aline of fully two hundred
stood in place for over an hour. A
fence divided the window of the poll
ing places. On one side the women
voted and on the other tile men.
Every available vehicle in the city
was lun for their accomodation. Each
vehicle was in charge of a female
enthusiast. The wealthy Iadips in a
fit of desperation placed their private
carriages at work. Early in the day
a stampede occurred in one ward, ow
ing to the efforts of some women to
influence the vote of another. The
men quickly took part in the discus
sion, and several knock-downs occur
red in short order. The women fled
precipitately. Three arrests were
made, but not before Chief of Police
Roberts, who led the squad in that
particular ward, bad received a pain
ful, though not dangerous gash, in the
right temple. At one poll a man and
his wife advanced to vote.
“What is the use in this?” the hus
band asked. “Ws are voting exactly
opposite to eacli other and one offsets
the other.” They agreed not to vote
and departed with the understanding
that they were paired. In a short
time the woman returned and depos
ited tier vote alone. An emphatic ex
ample of the disturbing influence of
tiie new order of things was found
in the fact that the police were
called upon to interfere in a dis
pute between husband and wife, who
began quarreling ut the polls and
were about to couie to blows.
The fo.ct is undeniable, however,
that the new element 1ms proven a
potent factor. Needy, the people’s
candidate for Mayor, had a large ma
jority at his last election, and his
popularity had increased, but the
new vote has made his re-election so
doubtful that his best friends claim a
victory only by three hundred majori
ty. The opposition claim the day by
| an equal number.
I At Lawrence, where one-half the
| the full registration was women, the
1 woman-suffrage movement had pro
bably one of the most important test*
in the State. The day really began
last night, when the Republican* held
a massmeeting, at which two thous
and people were present, nearly one-
half uf whom were women. It was
one of the most enthusiastic meetings
ever held in Lawrence. Two Judges,
a colored woman, a prominent law
yer and two well-known ladies of cul
ture addressed the meeting. The
speech of the colored woman, Mrs.
Stevens, was received with tremend
ous applause. The ladies have turned
out in full force to-day, and nearly all
of the 1,104 registered’women voted.
A hard fight was made against Ba
ker, the Republican candidate for
Mayor, on account of liis alleged im
morality. The women, notwithstand
ing the charges against his character,
elected him by the largest majority a
Mayor ever received in Lawrence.
Many amusing incidents occurred.
The white women came in their own
carriages, but the colored dames and
damsels rode at the expense of some
body in hacks and dressed in their
very best rigs. They fully appreciate
the dignity of their position. In a
very few cases families are divided.
“There uin’t no dinner for me to
day,’’ remarked a colored pressman,
“tne old woman's gone to election,”
and lie sadly scrubbed the forms ob
serving: “1 tried to get her to pair off
with me, since wo are for different
men, but she said she was^oing to
vote anyhow, because that preacher
told her she had to.” In nearly eve
ry case, however, the women yoted
as their husbands told them to. Old
colored women, being unable to read,
in nearly every case brought with'
them some female friend to read their
ticket to them. They were not willing
to trust the moil. < >ne old auntie
said:
The Republican ticket is elected for
the first time in the municipal elec
tion in twelve years. The women
have done it, because they are Repub
licans almost uniformly, and would
not even scratch the ticket.
Although Atchison is one of the
largest towns in Kansas, only 380 vo
ters registered. Of these over one
hundred were colored women, and
the majority of the others were wid
ows or old maids. The women voted
almost unanimously for the Demo
cratic candidate for Mayor, and for
the balance of the Republican ticket.
The city tickets bore the names of
three women, all candidates for the
school board. There are undoubtedly
elected.
Many amusing incidents are re
ported. A woman who had voted
for the Republican candidate for
Mayor returned and asked the judges
if ,she could not have back the ticket
she had handed in, saying that she
had made a mistake and wanted to
vote for the other man. Upon being
informed that it was too late to
change her mind, she accused the
judge* and clerks of still desiring to
oppress the women and deprive them
of their rights.
Dikd. Mrs J. W. Glenn, wife of
Rev. Mr. Glenn, of this place, died on
Wednesday of last week, nt the house
of Mr. Henry Stevens in Baldwin
county. She was a Christian woman,
and *o was rerftly to meet the issues
of eternity. Mrs. Glenn left an in
fant but a few hours old, and a 6or-
rew-stricken husband behind her.

munity.—Ishina’elite.

Our oiliest child, now six years of age, when
aninrant six months old was attacked with a
virulent, malignant skin disease. All ordinary
remedies failing, we called our family phylsiclan,
who attempted to cure it; but it spread with al
most incredible rapidity, until the lower portion
of the little fellow’s person, from the middle of
his back down to his knees, was one solid rash
ugly, painful, blotched, and malicious. We had
no rest at night, no peace by day. Finally, we
were advised to try the Cuticura Remedies. The
effect was simply marvelous. In three or four
weeks a complete cure was wrought, leaving the
little fellow’s person as white and healthy as
though lie had never been attacked. Iumy opin
ion, your valuable remedies saved Ids life and to
day he is a strong, healthy child, perfectly well no
repetition of the disease having ev er occurred.
