I. S. Peebles Made Very Able Memorial Day Address at Millen Augustan Spoke to a Large Number of People and His Ad dress Was Enthusiastically Received By the People of Jenkins County. Millan, Ga.—Hon. I. S. Peebles, Jr„ of the Augusta bar, on Friday last de livered a very eloquent and able rrte rnorial address at the .Vlillen, Ga., courthouse, under the auspices of the Daughters of the Confederacy of that place. Quite a number of prominent Au gustana were present upon this occa sion. and have furnished glowing ac counts of the hospitality of the people of Jenkins county, of the most excel lent barbecue that was served after the memorial exercises, and the most favorable Impression made by Mr. Peebles’ forceful and Impressive ora I tion. | The speaker was masterful in hi 3 defense of the South s position, basing his argument on constitutional grounds. demonstrating that the South did not fight for the perpetu ation of slavery, but In defense of her constitutional rights. Mr. Peebles concluded his address as follows: "Sever was there a more inspiring picture than was presented by the South In 1861. Upon every village green could be heard the sound of the fife and the tattoo of the drum, call ing together the manhood of the South to hurl hack the Invaders who hail dared place their feet upon Southern soil. The fairest and noblest woman hood that ever graced any people, in any clime, gave to the youthful sol dier some little keepsake to wear close to his heart amid she carnage of bat tle. Fond mothers and loving sweet hearts whispered words of love and cheer In their ears, and wished them God speed upon th»ir noble mission. I daresay there has never been a good deed done, a beautiful thought ex pressed, a noble Ideal realized, and thus given form and expression, that some noble woman did not furnish the inspiration. "The sons of the South were not lucking in this respect. I have read of the women of Carthage—of Imw they made bow strings from their beautiful tresses with which to repel their Homan Invaders, but the women of the South took their very heart strings and wove them Into a stal wart soldiery to battle for the south. "The flower of the South’s manhood were inarching to the martial strains pf Dixie beneath the stars and bars. Never did a more splendid set of pa triots rush to their country’s* stand ards. imbued with a higher concep tion of duty or a deeper and nobler fidelity to principle. The verdict of posterity will be: “’They were the knightliest of the knightly race. That since the days of old, Have kept the lamp of chivalry Alight In hearts of gold.’ "When do men, numerically inferior, face the cafmige of Franklyn or Fred ericksburg, Cold Harbor or Gettys Hi Th<& Mmm§ i-n.-g. ?• -"t- — ' f f hen-REE l]. - \ I ) , rouHO SOMEBODY ST ■=—— I COST - I'D QBOOT J burg, unless they possess the highest degree of physical courage and the deepest realization of the justness of their position upon the moral Issues Involved? When do they charge up Cemetery Ridge or hurl themselves into the Bloody Angle, unless imbued with the highest sense of duty and the deepest possible devotion to prin ciple? Such valor requires a degree of patriotism that Is unexcelled in the annals of warfare, and was made pos sible only because ’Thrice armed is he who had his quarrel just.’ "The winsome and noble womanhood of the South, true patriots that they were, gladly, yet sorrowfully, placed upon the altar of their country their husbands and their sweethearts. The buckling on the knight’s armor by his lady's hand was not a mere ca price of romantic fashion, for, as Rus kin says: ‘lt Is the type of an eternal truth; that the soul's armor is never well set to the heart unless a woman's hand has braced it; and it is only when she braces it loosely that the honor of manhood falls.’ It was be cause the fairest and noblest woman hood of song or story braced your soul's armor to your hearts most firmly that you were enabled to dis play during those four long years a courage that won for the South the greatest possible renown for Us valor, and for yourselves imperishable names upon the scroll of fame! And it is because this same fair womanhood realizes so fully that you wore your soul’s armor most worthily, even though through fearful odds, all seem ed lost, save honor, that she delights to show her unchangliTß faith in your fidelity and valor by decorating you with the Southern Cross of Honor, symbolic In Its Imperishable bronze of your unfaltering courage, and of her undying reverence and love. "It is a glorious privilege to have followed Johnson and Jackson, Gordon and Uep. Never did a cause develop greater leaders or graver soldiers of the line. And never was an army dominated by such a love for Its lead ers as characterized your devotion to Uee. It Is related that a surgeon was upon one occasion performing an op eration near the heart upon a member of the Imperial guard. His assistant remarked: 'Doctor, If you will cut a little deeper you will find Napoleon.’ There was not a heart in the Confede rate army that did not worship the beauty and the grandeur and splendor of the character of Lee. And so im plicitly did you trust him, that you would, at his command, go Into the very jaws of death. As has been truly said: 'Many a man is great In victory; greater In death; few are greatest in defeat.' Of that few was Lee. "Heroes of the sixties, 1 sometimes think If the nineteenth century had produced nothing of lasting benefit to humanity other than the life and char acter of your peerless chieftain, .Rob- ert E. Lee, that that period would stand out most conspicuously upon the cycles of time! Couple your deeds and those of your comrades to his achievements, and no century record ed upon the pages of man’s history can excel in noble endeavor and pa triotic excellence! Were you to elimi nate these from the annals of time, it would be like removing the warp from some beautiful fabric. “The carnage of battle was over, the last tattoo of the drum was heard. The Stars and which the Con federate soldier had followed so gal lantly over so many sanguinary fields and implanted upon seemingly im pregnable ramparts, was furled for ever at Appomattox. But the princi ples for which you fought will live on forever. For “’I know that the solar system Must somewhere keep in space, A prize for that spent runner, Who barely lost the race; For the plan would be imperfect, Unless it held some sphere, To pay for the toil and talent And love that are wasted here.’ "Some of the soldiers of the Confed eracy had enlisted from magnificent mansions, situated among beautiful oaks and sweet scented magnolias: others from little log huts, with noth ing to shield them from the rays of the scorching sun. But they all re turned to find for theJr roofs nothing but the canopies of heaven; their pil lows upon which to rest their weary heads, nothing but stones fashioned by the ages; for bread with which to appease their hunger, nothing but the proverbial husks of the prodigal son; but amid all of this, these men of heroic mould were undaunted, and turned their swords into plowshares and soon made a desert to blossom as the rose. And when, during the gloomy days of reconstruction, Angle-Saxon domi nation was threatened and govern ment from without, supported by fede ral bayonets, was attempted to be thrust upon you, you hurled back the aggressors and, through your determi nation and valor, preserved to poster ity local self government. "The remnant of your gallant batid is now looking upon the sunset side of life, and it will be but a few years at most until you will ‘cross over the river and rest under the shade of the trees,’ with Jackson and with Lee. But when your duty is done, when your work of life Is finished here, when the gold of evening meets the dusk of night, beneath the silent stars, you and your comrades shall not be fo;-gotten; “ ‘Nor shall your glory be forgot, While fame her record keeps. For honor points the hallowed spot, Where valor proudly sleeps.’ ’’ Spring Laxative and Blood Cleanser Fluoh out the accumulated waste and poisons of the winter months; cleanse you r stomach, liver and kid neys of all Impurities.
