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 having plighted their forth to a new condition lot king shield with the sons of tho«e who wore the blue and defend it like we did the old.” 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 sunlight, are alive with spirited i chargers, losing herds and tink- < link bells, and her hills and , mountains groan w.th their prod ucts of iron, m; ngenese and baux- f ite and other minerals, all presided f ver by a warmhearted, people, , brave men and beautiful women. 8 •• Is lovely as ih'' fl >wers of Maj I , as pare as alpt>ie’«drifted snow.

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. 10 CENTS A WEEK RgV, THfiOPIGKKTT 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.’* For a good smoke try War ers’ “Extra Good” cigars.
