MONUMENT TO TH[ HEROINES OF TOE Will Hon. D. G. Fogarty Deliv ered An Eloquent and Comprehensive Address During the Exercises At the Cemetery. In his address at the memorial day exercises at the cemetery Monday afternoon. Hon. D. G. Fogarty took for his inspiration the part played by the women of the South, during and after the historic struggle between the states. Towards his conclusion, Mr. Fogarty voiced the sentiment that there should be erected by the Veter ans and the sons, a splendid monu ment to those of the war." Mr. Fogarty's address was eloquent and comprehensive. He said in part: "The war meant much to the men. it meant vastly more to the women of the South. While the soldier’s lot was full of suffering, sacrifice, danger and death, he yet had the distractions of the march and camp, the occupa tion of martial life and the excitement and thrill of conflict. The women suffered in the monotony of misery and sometimes of want; coming out of the great war impoverished, bereav ed of father, husband, brother, son, sweetheart or kinsman, to lead there after maimed and broken lives. “Thus did the women of the South serve and suffer, and when the last shot was fired and the last bugle blast had died away and amid the misereres of a vanquished people our flag was furled to float no more, our women, tiring not in their mission of love, took on themselves a new task. Unto their willing and devoted hands and hearts was committed the priceless heritage of the memory of the deeds of the soldiers and sailors of the Con federacy, who in file few years of their short lived nation had wrought so gloriously a history for It, that it. will live so long as men love valor and esteem the achievements of the brave. “The war was scarcely over when forming yourselves into memorial bands, you determined that there should be written aright the history of the war and its causeß. The arbi trament of arms had yielded victory to our foes, but you declared, and your declarations have been effectuat ed, that it should not asperse the mo tives of the men who followed our flag or misrepresent a single action in the broad vast field of the opera tions of our army and navy. "Loving as you did the cause for which our soldiers fought and deeply grateful as you were for their suffer ings and sacrifices, you resolved that the memory of their deeds should be carefully guarded and honored for all time to come. Fortunate was It for the soldiery of the South that in the war it had the assistance of such noble spirits, and doubly fortunate are they, living or dead, that they have as the trustees of their memories the women of our Memorial Associa tions and the Daughters of the Con federacy. “The devotion of Southern women to this cause is enduring, idealis tic and fervent. They havo given to you veterans, and will ever give to you, the fullest measure of enthusias tic appreciation. Only such devotion and steadfastness have made It possi ble to preserve the history of Southern valor and at so remote a date to maintain the active and loyal commemoration of the memories of the war. “It has been a hard and bitter strug gle to overcome the hosts of preju dice and error and to write correctly the records of the Confederate War. Our woman have occupied the very outposts of the army of our defenders and vigorously, vigilantly nnd effic iently have they met and refuted the slander and calumny of the journal ist, statesman and historian of our former enemy. It has been their's to teach the doctrine and enforce the belief in the face of misconception and misrepresentation , that this nation has been framed and fashioned, main tained and defended very largely by the service, the blood and the lives of the Southern people, that they have ever been loyal to the principles of Its foundation and have never sought to destroy the Union of the Constitu tion and that they fought not to per petuate human slavery, but to resist unjust encroachments on the rights of the people and the equality of the States under tho fundamental law of the land. “No more valuable service has been rendered by your memorial associa tions than that which has eliminated from our public schools the Inaccurate histories written by Northern authors. You have seen to it that our children should have before them in their daily studies correct and truthful recitals (Continued on Page 7.) AUGUSTA, GEORGIA. MONDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 26, 1909. Mrne.

The great, tonal omittances have time to blend Into a grand, sweet, har mony ns they soar to the b.-lconv and galleries while elose to the stage, the effect Is not. so pleasing.

RAN FRANCISCO—The Japanese cruisers Aso and I.|lchl will visit San Francisco Monday uncording to ad vices received at the Navy Depart ment. The cruisers aro being untll- Izrd for training purposes, and carry 180 cadets. They are under the com mand of Admiral ljlchi. Entertainment, of the Japanese vis itors Is a serious problem. The Nevy Department hns no special entertain ment fund, and the only thing that can he done is to take a small amount from tho contingent fund. A certain sunt has been set aside for the pur pose by Secretary Meyer, hut It is not enough to give the Japanese sail ors nearly as elaborate entertainment as the Japanese gave to the sailors of the battleship fleet. After San Francisco the cruisers will go to Se attle. What Herald Ads. Will Do for You There's probably an ad. In to day’s paper that will make it IM PORTANT for you- to visit the store—without delay. If can’t find it In the store ads, you probably can't find it in the stores. Today’s store-ads., mean store growth. The BEST of them will mean the quickest and surest store growth. The “push thy business" kind of merchants are, of necessity, tire less advertisers —and, of equal necessity, liberal users of news paper space. A lot of people are moving into new homes these days. Those who have let. the ads. help them have probably found BETTER homes. Do you suppose that any land lord who has advertised effective ly has any home or apartments “left over" Just now? SAY YOU BAW IT IN THE HERALD. IT MEANS REBULT3.
