THE ROME HUSTLER-COMMERCIAL.
TOTHEEGHO
Was This Eloqtknl After-
Dinner Speech,
CHEERED BY ROMANS.
Major R. T. Fouch’s Responce
To The Toast •'rhe Vetrans.”
A Rome Hustler-Commercial
representative, who was among
the Romans who were guests of
Capt. and Mrs. J. Lindsay John
son at their Bryan dinner at 6
p. m., Tuesday, secured from
the most delightful program of
this brilliant social event a copy
of Major R. T. Fouche's eloquent
lespouee to the toast: “The Vet
erans, the Blue and the Gray.”
Here it is:
“When the army of Northern
Virginia surrendered to the Army
of the Potomac in April, 1865, then
ended the greatest drama of
modern times. Marble shafts on a
hundred battle fields, and simple
mounds ofclny from the Potomac
to the Rio Gi and,marking the spots
where heroes perished, will pass
away, but as long as the English
language is spoken or a vestage of
the Anglo Saxon race remains, the
battles of the Blue and Gray will
be remembered,
Georgia is erecting on the field
of Chickamauga a shaft in honor
of her sons who fell in battle. What
grander tribu’e could she pay to
the va or of these who wore the
Blue.
The annual pension roll of
SIBO (XX) 000 is a monument to the
valor of American soldiery, but
what a tribute to the loyalty o‘
him who wore the grey participat
ing in nothing but its payment .
The Confederate soldier took
up arms to defend the principles of
the declaration of independener
that were embraced in theConstitu
lion of the United States, and in
doing so he follower! the footsteps
of his forefathers.
The battles Bunker Hill and Bull
Run were fought for the same
cause and no lover of his country
will apologize for either.
The Confederate soldier, his
last duty done, turned his face to
the South and guidecT by the
luned flames of expiring war
fare, he found his home at peace,
because it was a desert. Gather
ing his kindred and comrades
around him, they sat down in a
common sorrow around the aches
of their home and resolved to build
again the Old South.
Now. after the laps » of 38 years,
the animosities of the past have
Been conquered and today this
country is tilisting its honor in
the hands of a Confederate Veter
an who has in his veins the blood
of a Lee.
A generous, solid and g°nial
atmosphere have responded to
patient industry. Population and
wealth are increas ng. Our wonder
ful reasons are attracting the
attention of the world. Tides of
emigration f-oin the icy hills of
Nhw England are taming south
line. The miles of the North are
moving to the cott » n fields of the
South, and today we dictate the
price of pig iron in all the
markets of the world.
Increasing popu'ation is giving
us increasing representation end
power in the government, and the
time is coming when the decend
ants ot him who wore the g r ey will
dictate its p dicy and their voices
will rule the destines of this c>u
tinent.
And then they whose forefathers
laid upon the altar of constitution
al liberty every earthly promise
ROME GEORGIA, THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH 10. 18’98.
FULL OF SNAP,
Capt. Bill McHenry's Wel
come to
WM- JENNINGS BRYAN.
In Response to The Toast ‘ Our
Guest.”
Col. W. S. McHenry, one of
the best after dinner speakers
in this neck of the moral vinyard
rose equal to the occasion and
in response to the toast: “Our
Guest,” ext' tided thejfollowing
beautiful and eloquent welcome
to Wm. Jennings Bryan, at the
6 o’clock dinner given in honor
of the next president, by Capt.
and Mrs. J. Lindsay Johnson
last Tuesday. Col. McHenry
said:
Mr. Toast Master and Gen
tlemen : As a Georgian and to
the manorborn, in behalf of her
people, I extend a hospitable
greeting an 1 a cordial welcome
to our distinguished visitor and
guest, and though he may come
from the far northwest let me as
sure him that he is no stranger
in a strange land, for this entire
country from the lakes to the
gulf and from the Atlantic to the
Pacific claim him as the cham
pion and defender of the rights
of a nation, whose sheet anchor
is a government “Os the people,
by the people andfor the people.”
and they cherish and love him
not only as a citizen, but as the
chosen leader of that grand par
ty around whose banner he late
ly marshaled a host of American
patriots, who protested against
the crime committed against the
great mass of our people in the
name of the constitution and the
laws thereunder.
While unrest, great suffering
and dispair stared the masses in
the face, when countless thous
ands with wan faces and starv
ing families plead for work,
then begged for bread, our distin
guished guest with almost super
human endurance and matchless
eloquence, met the enemies of
a reople’s government and bore
proudly to the front the banner
of the democratic party, upon
whose folds wee inscribed the
immortal words of our leader,
“You shall not press down upon
the brow of labor this crown of
thorns. You shall not crucify
mankind upon a cross of gold,”
the spirit of which was respond
ed to by six and one half million
of his countrymen, and though
by means of the corrupt and
fraudulent use of centralized
capitol, the will of the people
has been temporarily defeated,
if the signs of the times and the
spirit of our people bespeak the
future, that banner, with its
immortal inscription, will be
planted by the hands of our dis
tinguished leader in 1900 in the
White House at the capitol of
this country.
With sentiments of the highest
esteem we welcome to our hearts
and homes not only the leader of
the grand old democratic party,
but the next president of the
United States, the Hon. \\ illiam
Jennings Bryan of the state of
Nebraska.
be famed, still standing by tl.e
traiitionsof their aqcestry at.d

the sons of tho«e who wore the
blue and defend it like we did

To this speech, which was most
eloquently deliv red, a storm of
appkuse was raised Mr. Bryan,
the next president of the United
I States b ing the last min to
I pause.
JOHN J. SEfIV
Magor-Elect of the Citg of
Rome Responds
TO THE TOAST •‘ROME.”
His Speech a Gem, its DeliverY
Perfect.
Mayor-elect John J. Seay, pub
lic spirited, genial, eloquent, was
eminently the right man in the
right place on the program at the
Bryan dinner given in honor of
W .J. Bryan, by Capt. and Mrs. J.
Lindsay Johnson at 6 o’clock
Tuesday evening.
Capt Seay responded to the
toast “Rome,” in the following
manner, <
“Mr. Toastmaster and Gentle
men,
“Ancient Rome was once the
mistress of the world, to her all
nations of the earth paid tribute.
Above all other nations she had
the most costly, elegant and mag
nificent palacesand buildings, the
ruins of which now stand as a
monument to her glorious past.
As the nations of the earth came
under the sway of her mighty
sceptre, she linked them to her
capital by building magnificent
highways, and thus came the well
known expression, “All Roads
Lead to Rome.” The capitol of
her empire was the center of mili
tary glory, ot letters and of educa
tion, mental and physical.
Her youiig men, perfect
mens of manhood, were prepared
by such education to maintain
and preserve the glory of the em
pire. The honor known
to th it age was to bj called a Ro
man citizen.
“And so Modern Rome is the
pride of her county, and the coun
ty tne pride of the State, “The
Empire State, of the South,” one
of the splendid stars in the diadem
of liberty and freedom. Built on
her seven hills at the confluence
ot two magnificent navigable
streams, surrounded by rich val
leys and beautiful mountains, she
lies in a panorama unsurpassed in
natural beauty and grandeur by
any city in the world. <
“She has a population of 15,-
000 educated and refined people, (
ample banking capital, many and <
varied manufacturing industries |
Hid enterprises. Gas and electric
lights and eh ctric railways, water .
navigation, three independen'
railway systems, a number cf fine
churches and one of the largest
best iqu pped and most prospercus
colleges for the education of girls 1
in the world, a splendid system of
public schools. i
She is surrounded by rich agri
cultural lands, watered with clear ;
neautiful springs and streams,
producing in abundance the cere
a's and tne grasses and the most
v double of all agricultural prod
ucts, cotton, always an equivalen'
»o cash, annually turning the 1
balance of the trade to us. Her 1
beautiful meado vs smi'ing in the i

DO WITH IT?
Why Boy a Half Million
A FLEET OF
And all The Powder and Shot
we Will Need.
Washington, March 10.—How
will the $50,000,000 so iTttdtly
appropriated by congress for the
nation’s defense be expended?
This is the question of mo
ment now.
Guns for a half a million in
fantry will be bought—that’s
certain. More warships will be
purchased and built and ammu
nition will be put in stock.
While the matter of expending
the funds has been considered,
it can be stated that the fund
has not yet been allotted among
the various branches of the gov
ernment service.
Each of these had prepared
roughly and tentatively an esti
mate of the funds it could dis
pose of to advantage, but upon
looking over the ground the pres
ident concluded that it would be
well perhaps, to avoid making
the allottment until the necessity
became apparent. The reason
back of this is that the sum that
can be profitably spent for war
ships cannot even be guessed at
with any approximation to ac
curacy just now. As the ships
are to be first choice in the steps
fur defense,-until their cost is
assured it is not possible to di
vide the remainder of the appro
priation among the other
branches of the military and
naval services.
The secretary of the navy is
making every effort to secure
from our naval attaches and di
plomatic officers abroad all in
formation obtainable respecting
the number of ships building,
their price and other data. This
does not necessarily interfere
with the execution of the plans
confided to Capt. Brownson, who
sailed for Southampton today,
but rather promises to assist him
materially in making speed with
his inquiries. Up to this mo
ment not only has the U nited
States government bought no
warships, but it has noteven se
cured an option on one.
There are many applications
coming to the department from
pirsons and firms who desire to
sell ships to the government,
but in most of these cases one or
two fatal obstacles are encoun
tered to the consumation cf the
sale— either the craft offered is
not suitable for naval needs or
the date of possible completion
is so distant from three months
upward, that it cannot be re-,
garded as worthy of purchase to
meet an emergency.
There is less difficulty in secur
ing tenders of war material such
aj shot and shell and powder and
’he navy department has almost
assured itself of an abundant
supply ot certain kinds ot smoke
less powder a>’r >ad at short no
tice. The officials of the de«r-’,t
nient are in dai v c ■rrespow- u.ee
by mail and t>digraph with agents
or 'ammunition b> uses and besides
are now fully acquainted with
the plans cf domestic powder-mak
ers for enlarging their plants to
meet an emergency.

Baptist War in Gilntming
Grows Intense-
REV. A. B.VANGHAN
To The Rescue Os The
5 Old Warrior
Cattersville ; Ga., March 10. —
JJ+rere nas been considerable stir
in this section among the Baptist
people over a warm controversy
that has been conducted for some
months in The North Georgia
Baptist, at Cumming, between
Rev. Thad Pickett, of this city,
aud Rev. A. B. Vaughan, of Cum
ming.
It seems that M. Pickett at
tacked the state mission board
f missions and Mr. Vaughan
appeared as defender and the
discussion grew to such a fiery
tension that the editor of the paper
stopped it and, together with Mr.
Vaughan goes for Mr. Pickett in
strong terms, accusing him of
“casting suspicion on the honesty
and integrity of the state board
from the pulpit in Cumming,
pouring contempt on the best
preachers of this country,” and of
making speeches in the basement
of the courthouse at Atlanta
• against prohibition, because of
his financial obligations to a
1 liquor dealer in Atlanta. The
editor in his article, says:
“Let our right hand forg.it its
, coining and fall palseid by our
side, and our tongue speechless
cleave to the roof of our mouth if
we fail to raise our hand of warn
ing against those who seek to des
troy uur work, or if we fail to
lift our voice in condemnation
against such attacks upon good
men whose lives and talents have
been consecrated to the cause. Our
hi art aches J’
Mr. Pickett is well known as a
preacher and several times ran for
congress in the ninth district. He
still has a considerable following.
He has the reputation among
many of being able to take care of
himsalf in any word batUe.
Many copies of The North Geor
gia Baptist have been sent out in
tnis region.
A sick person trying to keep up on mere
stimulating tonics is like any one pretend
ing to swim while supported by a belt. The
instant the support is withdrawn down
you go.
Nearly all diseases result from a deep
leated impairment of the nutritive powers
which cannot be reached by any temporary
exhilaration. The only good that any med- .
icine can do is to increase your own natural
powers of recovery and make you able to
swim for yourself.
The debilitating weakness, nervousness
and digestive disorder which indicates this
state of mal nutrition can only be overcome
by a scientific remedy like Dr. Pierce’s
Golden Medical Discovery which acts di
rectly upon the digestive and blood-making
organs, and effects the nutritive transforma
tion of food into rich, healthy blood, which
carries genuine permanent vitality to every
corner pf the system.
It is vastly more nutritious than malt
extracts it does not paralyze the nerves,
but feeds them with health. It is better
1 than cod liver oil emulsions. It is assimi
lated by the weakest stomachs. It does
not make flabby useless fat. but muscular
strength and healthy nerve-force. It is the
only perfect invicrorant for corpulent people.
Mrs. EUa Howell, of Derby, Perry Co., Ind.,
writes: "In the year of 1594 I was taken with
stomach trouble—nervous dyspepsia. There was
a coldness in my stomach, and a weight which
seemed like a rock. Everything that I ate gave
me great pain; I had a bearing down sensation;
was swelled across my stomach; had a ridge
around my right side, and in a short time I wai
bloated. I was treated by three of our best phy
sicians but got no relief. Then Dr. Pierce’s
Golden Medical Discovery was recommended to
me and I got it, and commenced the use of it. I
began to see a change for the better. I was so
weak I could not walk across the room without
assistance. I took Dr. Fierce's Golden Medical
Discovery and one bottle of the ' Pleasant Pel
lets.’ I liegat. to improve very fast after the use
of a few bottles. The physicians who attended
me said I had 'dropsy ’ and that my disease w„a
leading into pulmonary consumption. I had
quite a cough, and the home phvsicians gave me
»p iodie. I thank God that my cure is permanent.’*
