HANOVER PARK YESTERDAY
AFTERNOON WAS WITNESSED
BY A LARGE CROWD.
ABLE ADDRESS DELIVERED BY
HON. ALBERI COX, OF ATLAN
TA—EXERCISES WERE INTER
ESTING AND IMFOSING.
Memorial day was very fittingly
observed in Brunswick yesterday and
the exercises were both interesting
and imposing. The feature of the day
was the unveiling of the monument
erected in Hanover park to the mem
ory the Confederate dead.
The parade was formed in front of
rtie Rincmen’s armory promptly at
”:30 and was turned over to Com
mandcr Aikrn. The companies then
marched to the Oglethorpe wm and
were Joined by the carriages contain
ing the speakers, etc. The entire pa
rade thru proceeded to liavoner park,
where the exercises were held. The
military company's stacked arms and
gathered around the monument.
orayer was offered by Itev. Hairy
Cassil, and he was followed by Mar
shal of t'he Day Cline, who introduced
Hon. Edwin Brobaton. Mr. Bruner...
in a few words, characteristic ot tin
well known Brnnswlekian, introduced
the orator of the day. Hon. Ailierl
Cox. of Atlanta.
Mr. Cox's address as one of the best
ever listened to by a Brunswick audi
ence, ami he was liberally applauded. _
The speaker paid a fitting tribute to
our Confederate dead, and living as
well, in eloquent language and lie
was given the closest of attrition b>
the large crowd that had gathered in
the park. Mr. Cox is a forcible
speaker, and fine ladies of the Me
morial association are to be congrat
ulated on securing him to deliver the
unveiling address.
After the oration of Mr. Cox, oc
curred the unveiling of the monument.
Avery interesting musical program
was arranged and rendered during the
exercises. As the Marine band’s dis
course to the tunes of Dixie and ’mid
the echoes of the large crowd, Miss
Barkaloo lifted the cover that has
been over the monument since it was
erected. The entire program was very
pretty and beautifully rendered.
The parade was again formed and
marched out George street to Cochran
avenue, theiyie to Oak Grove ceme
tery, where the living Confederates,
battle scarred and manifesting in their
every being the hand of father time,
doffed their hats in honor of th< ir com
rades who have preceded them, while
c’nildisn hands toying with the vio
let and rose, bedecked the last rest
ing place of that great army of "un
numbered hosts,” and the military
boys, lull of the glow of inspiration
of the occasion, fired, with right ear
nest perception, the usual volley over
the hallowed resting spots that mark
the slumbering places ot those who
fought for Dixie's preservation.
Oak Grove cemetery was fairly
thonged with men, women and chil
dren, all eager to add their littie
might in this magnificent glorification
of a cause held dear by us ail.
Made a Good Appearance.
Brunswick's two military companies
made an excellent appearance in the
parade. On account of it being Sat
urday and many of the stores did not
close for the occasion, the ranks were
greatly cut down, but they demon
strated that they have taken on new
life and much interest is being mani
fested by the members in company af
fairs.' The Riflemen were out for the
first time in a parade under their
new officers, and all three of them
acquitted themselves very creditably.
The Knights were out for the first
time in their new uniforms, an.l were
applauded all along the line of march
by many admirers. The new uniforms
are of the latest style, and greatiy
sets off Captain Newman and his boys.

GAVEORDER TOKILL

IN SAMAR
——
GENERAL "JAKIE” SMITH ADMITS
BEFORE THE COURT THAT
HE GAVE SUCH ORDERS
TO WALLER.
Everybody Over ten years of Age
Came Under Order—Adminis
tiatlon Frightened by the
Admission of Brutality
of General Smith,
Manila. April 26. —The trial by
conn martial ol Gen. Jacob H. Smith
on the charge of conduct prejudical
to goon order and discipline began
today. General ! Joy J Wheaton pre
sided.
Colonel Charles A. Woodruff, coun
sel tor the delense. said he desired
|to simplify the proceedings. He was
willing to admit Major Waller to kill
and burn and make Samara howling
. wilderness, that he wanted everybody
killed capable of bearing arms and
that lie did specify all over ten years
of age, hi the Samar hoys at that age
were equally as dangerous as their
elders.
Captain David D. Porter, marine
corps, and Lieutenant John H. A.
Day, marine corps, were the only two
witnesses examined. Tile testimony
developed nothing new.
Major Littleton T. Waller, marine
corps, will be fine only oilier witness
for the prosecution, lie was unable
to be present today on account o:
sickness, but it is expect, and will be
in attendance tomorrow.
The defense will call several otll
, ers of lUe Ninth infantry,
Major Waller and Lieutenant Day.
of the marine corps, who were tried
by courtniaitial here, on fine charge
of executing natives of the island of
Samar without trial, have been ac
quitted.
Administration Is Frightened.
Washington, April 26.—War depart
ment officials are very much disturbed
ever the reported admissions made
by counsel for General Jacob Smith
as stated in the cables from Manila
tliis afternoon, but they are not near
ly so much as the administration pol
iticians, who consider it extremely un
fortunate that Colonel Woodruff, who
represents General Smith, should have
admitted that General Smith gave in
structions to Major Waller to kill,
burn and make Samara howling wil
derness; that he wanted everybody
killed capable of bearing arms, and
that he did specify all over 10 years
of age.
Nobody here anticipates any serious
consequences to General Smith as the
result of this eourtmartial, and the
republican politicians who have set
out to withwash everything done In
the Philippines believe that this ad
mission of General Smiu, s counsel
will greatly injure the party in the
elections.
In the hope that they mignt prove a
sedative to quiet the inuignation man
ifesting itself all over the country
at the disclosures of army methods,
the war department sent to me sen
ate today a great, batch ot testimo
nials from different communities in
the Philippine islands indorsing the
American soldiers. These were gen
erally in the shape or petitions for
the retention of the American soldiers
raider than the Filipino scouts. The
fact that the American soldiers are
especially welcomed because of the
good pay they receive and of their
liberality in spending as compared
with the native scouts, is not men
tioned in these papers.

No religious r civil in the history of
Birmingham has ever made so pro

Man of Learning.
Dr Munhall is a man of great learn
ing, a scholar among scholars, and
n<> quotes the scripture as though he
knew it all by heart, 11 is preaching
has been of the word and above all
things he lias sought to revive u love
oi the study of the Bible in the popu

i..0 reason as well as to the con
science, and his power to simplify
the gospel lias had much to do with
the success which has attended his
