MEMORIAL DAY EXERCISES. GEORGIA MILITARY COLLEGE.
The People Again Pay Tribute to the
Memory of the Confederate Dead.
Short
The Memorial exercises in Milledge-
wille last Tuesday will long be remem
bered by those who witnessed tliem.
There has never been a time since this
day was set aside when more interest
was shown by our people in paying
tribute to the memory of the confede
rate dead. Though nearly forty years
have elapsed the people delight to honor
the memory of those who fought in de
fence of the Southland in the early six
ties.
Tuesday morning the street*
were filled with people who liad
come in from the country to join the
people of the city in the observance of
the day. Among these were large
numbers of Confederate Veterans.
At ten o’clock a meeting of the mem
bers of Camp Doles was held at the
Court House. Officers were elected,
and delegates appointed to the reunions

DEATH OF MR. R. H. TURNER.

The recital given at Atkinson Hall'

This was the first, of several entertain

of this city were paying honor to the

pleasant one.
At noon an elegant dinner was served
by the ladies to the Veterans. This
gave them an opportunity to talk abont
war times and exchange expeiences
which were undergone during war times.
At two o’clock all business was sus
pended, and the people gathered at the
Court House, from whence the march
to the cemetery was to be made.
The procession was formed at 2:30
o’clock, by Hon. J. D. Howard, Marshal
of the Day, who handled the crowd ad
mirably. The procession was headed
by the mounted jxilice and the Apollo
Silver Band, which was followed by the
Cadet Battalion*of the G. M. College.
Then came the Baldwin Bines as hon
orary escort to the Veterans, who wore
immediately in the rear of the company.
The carriages with the orators, mem
bers of the R. E. Lee Chapter, citizens,
students of the G. N. & 1. College and
G. M. College composed the remainder
of the procession. The line of march
was up West Hancock street to Liberty
and down Liberty to the cemetery.
When the cemetery was reached the
crowd gathered around the Speaker’s
stand, where the exercises took place.
“Gathering Home” was sung by the
students of the G. N. & I. College, and
otlrere; Rey. J. A. Quillian offered a
most impressive prayer.
The orator, Rev. Joel. T. Daves, was
introduced by Prof. Wm. E. Reynolds.
Prof. Roynold’s remarks were especial-
fact'better than the two schools. Mer-
cerjfanks with Clemson, the Tech, and
the State University, while the G. M. C.
is in the “Prep” class. The fact that
the cadet team are to play the law class
teajn and not the regular Varsity team
does not alter the situation. Everybody
familiar with University life knows that
the law class is always composed of men
who have come up through the lower
classes in that or some similar institu
tion. These men have therefore served
their “apprenticeship” on the diamond.
Many of them are ball players who have
been seasoned by years of play—much
of it with crack college teams. Besides
beiiisr older and heavier men titan the
cadets, they know the game thoroughly,
a: id can play it with more steadiness and
wit', fewer errors. It is for this reason
that the cadets arc allowed to strengthen
their team, and for the same reason
tTWimefeat would carry no humiliation.
Mr. Reynolds will strengthen his team
in one or two positions before the next
game, and he hopes at least to interest
the embryo expounders of Blackstone
and the Code.
ward with monotonous, and to the cast,
irksome regularity. The impersonators
of the several characters are studying
their roles with earnest purpose to in
terpret the play with intelligent insight,
if not with true dramatic power. Witli
one or two exceptions all are wholly
without experience even of the amateur
stage, and of course have small hope of
realizing the great poet’s conceptions
when lie created Orlando, Rosalind, the
melancholy Jacques, the juicy Touch
stone and other dramatis personnae in
this matchless pastoral. But their
audience will not be hypercritical, and
it is hoped, as Rosalind, naively hints
iu tlie epilogue, there may be found
many whom the “play will please.”
The full cast of the play will be given
to the public a week or two ahead of its
production.
The people of this city have a treat
in store for them next Friday night.
Hon. John Temple Graves, Georgia’s
matchless orator, will lecture at the G.
N. & I. College, next Friday evening,
under the auspices of the Milledgeville
Lyceum.
Mr. Graves has a national reputation
as a speaker, and he attracts large
crowds wherever he jroes. His lectures
are {clothed in the mbst beautiful and
chaste language and are masterpieces
of eloquence.
This is the last of the Lyoenm at
tractions, and Mr. Graves will be greet
ed by a large audience.
The cadets bore honorable part in the
Memorial day parade on last Tuesday.
They presented a very handsome appear
ance in their bine blouses and white
duel? trousers. Their soldierly bearing
and excellent marc him: received many
flattering testimonials from the veterans
Tile cadet battnlion is now installed in
camp on the parade ground fronting the
east side of the main building. Major
Reynolds and his men pitched camp
Saturday, working hard the entire day
to finish the job. The camp is laid out
on tin: regulation plan adopted by an
army in the field, the touts of each com
pany facing a street 80 feet wide, with
tln> officers - tents filling the east end of
the street. It is a very pretty camp and
is pitched on an ideal spot. So keen
were some of the men to go into camp
they spent Saturday night in the tents.
Major Reynolds slept, there also. The
camp will bo conducted upon strict mil
itary rules. The following routine will
be followed every day:

was near, and his son, Mr. Tlios. Tur
ner, who was at Albany, and other rela
tives were notified of his condition.
He continued in an unconscious state
until 3:46 o’clock in the afternoon, when
he yielded to the great conquerer, and
quietly passed away.
His remains were carried to his old
home in Talbotton Wednesday morn
ing for burial, leaving this city on the
early morning Central railroad train.
The service occurred Wednesday after
noon, and hiR remains were interred
with Masonio honors.
Mr. Turner came to this city abont
fourteen vears ago from Talbotton, and
has since made his home here. He soon
won the confidence and esteem of our
citizens, for he was a kind-hearted man
and a good citizen. He found pleasure
in relating stories and jokes and always
had one to illustrate any question being
discussed. He was a loyal member of
; the Methodipt church and his .life was
in accordance with the golden
great applause by liis hearers. He said
that the day was observed for two pur
poses, to pay honor to the memory of
the Confederate dead, and to teach the
young that the principles * for which
their fathers fought were right.
The address by Mr. Dayes was elo
quent and forceful. He paid a high
tribute to the bravery of the Confede
rate soldier, and said the time was rap
idly approaching when the world would
unite in according to them their true
place in history. The South had re
turned to the home of its fathers, and
was as loyal to the government today
as any section of the Union. He pointed
with pride to the record that had been
made by Southern men in the early
history of this country. The address
was frequently interrupted by enthusias
tic applause, and it was declared by
many to be one of the best ever heard
heard in this city on snch an occasion.
The Blues and Cadets fired the cus

Confederate Soldiers, and at the grave

in the city will be furnished meals in the
barracks for the very low cost of 30 cents
a day during the encampment. Every
member of the battalion ought to go into
cam]). Local patrons of the school are
urged to have their boys do so. Interest
in the school and a desire to see the en-
ciimpmeut made a success should prove
incentive enough to tiring every c^det
into the camp from tlie first day to. the
last. All study at night will be done in
the college, building, where study lialls
will be opened for that purpose. It is
hoped no patron will feel coldly towards
this undertaking, but that all will unite
lieartly in making it a pronounced suc
cess, making sacrifices, if necessary, to
that end. The camp will continue about
ten days, not longer than two weeks at
the outside.
Cadet Robert H. Sikes beat flic kettli
dram in the Apollo Silver Band, and
the way he made the sticks rattle i
against the hog skin stirred t he blood of
grizzled veterans, as it recalled the
stirring days of ’61 to '(15. Every one
of these youths of 15)04 cherishes a death

grey, and lie finds no higher honor than
to pay tribute to their memory. Loyal
now to the “Stars and Stripes” beneath
whose folds they march and for whose
honor they would fight, they will never
cease to venerate the “Stars and Bars - ’
The Blues also fired a

Thus ended the exercises of the day,
and the people returned to their homes
with hearts pulsating with pride at the
thought that they hail again paid a de
serving tribute to the memory of the
men who had so bravely defended the
Southland, in the trying times of war.
