A Demonstration Sublimely
Grand Ringing Speeches
in His Honor by Henry
Grady. Dr. Spalding, Gov
McDaniel. Mr. Black and
Ex-l’rcgident Davis.
At 11 IH, on Friday last, we board
ed the went bound day train for the
(late City, to lie present nnd pnrtici
pat« in the ccremotiiea the following
day—the unveiling of the 15. II Hill
Monument, erocte 1 by the Hill Menu
mental Association of Atlanta Our
number was increased at every ata
tion, and when we reached om desti
nation there was acnrcely standing
room. All aeetned wild with enthu
aiaam nt the thought of being at the
unveiling nnd taking pad in the day *
doings. Trains over the various
roads that center in Atlanta were
tilled to their utmost capacity with
human freight and nt no time in her
history has she hud such n host. They
came from evei v State from Vn , un i
to Texas mi I also from the far north
States to do honor to those exponents
of all that ia pure nnd noble and
chivalrous in Southern manhood, the
lamented Hill ami the liung, beloved
ntld honored Davis. I hey were of
• very condition, the child, the lads
nnd lasse,. just beginning to bud and
blossom into young manhood and
young womanhood. The young men
and women, the men nnd women of
middle age, the grand sues and
dailies with hair made white by the
fronts of time, till were represented in
the vast concourse that surged mt >

thusiastic humanity. ft was a grand
and telling tribute to good nnd true
humanity ns represented in the two
most illustrious and honored sons the
South, and we might safely sny. the
world ever produced, It beggars
description. It was indescribable.
Al H o'clock ths Confederate Veter
nils began to gather nt the Court
Hous<, the place of rendevous The\
wore thoro in utmost countless num
tiers for the purpose of taking putt
in the honors to bo so lavishly show

The red badge of the Fulton County

rings* containing our loved Mr.
Davis, the orator of the day and
others. It was with difficulty that
one could pass through this immense
throug for several blocks away from
the statue. The appearance at the
platform was gay. quite a number of
flags fluttered iu the crisp Southern
breeze At the entrance to the pl it
form were two flags. n t inted States

Confederate flag, furled nnd tied with
gray ribboua mulch' told the s.id. sad
story of April 1565. When the ev
Preaidenl's party reached the plat
form the baud struck up "Dixie, which

and shouting was renewed ten fold.
As far as the eya could reach in
every direction wa» one vast sea of
faces this mighty throng gained back
and forth. like the wave* of Die ocean.
The matchlaas Henry Grady was
master of weL.etiu s and introduced
the s|»eakers in that happy and elo
quent style peculiar to himself. The
•ration delivered by Mi Black was
tbe crowning effort of his life nnd it
w»i verv fitly said that the mantle of i
Mr Hili eeetued to h«ve fallen upon
hrs shoulders. Th" statue was ten-
dried the city by Dr. Spaulding and
receive*! bv Gov. Mcltaniel in a
faultleselr ringing sjieech. In the
midst of Ilia speech Gen. Longstreet,

with sword. boots and spurs, ascend
ed the platform and contrary to his
i xpi ctutione was received very tanie-
Iv. At the conclusion Mr. Davie was
piewnt' d ami cheer after cheer from
40,000 throats greeted him.
As was previously announced and
determined upon. no speech from him
was < pet ted. Only a few remarks
were made by him and principally in
reference to bis friend Mr. Hill.
The demonstration was grand and
imposing when the daughter of the
Confederacy was presented, she only
bowed ami smiled in receiving the
honor < She is of the loveliest type
of Southern womanhood, pretty,
beautiful form and the personifica
tion of * and grace.
Die reception given Mr. Davis nnd
p-,lt;. at the Capitol City Club Wil* in .

gen ial conducted l»y the people of
Atlanta, it was n great success which
would have don*- credit to cities

Sunday morning at 10 o'clock
.Mr. Davis nnd party left for Savannah.
We stood on the balcony at
the Markham ami saw him
alight from his carriage, enter
the special car, take off his hut, bow
ami smile pleasantly to all and retire,
ami roon the bell rang, announcing
the time for Ins departure As the
train moved away the stillness that
seem* 1 to take po -ishioli oi the town
was indescribable. It being the
Lord’s day no demonstration what
ever was mad*.

Mrssns Editors:
Please allow me space in your i
columns to make a suggestion to the ■
voters of Columbia county. There J
seems to be a disposition on the I
part of some to make the fence i
question an issue in the approaching I
election for Representative. I have |
given the matter a good deal of ]
thought recently, ami rim free to i
say, that I cannot see how it can be |
made an issue without the risk of
bringing upon us untold trouble
in the future, by forcing out a voting
element that would be obnoxious to
the lief ter class of citizens. To avoid
this apprehended trouble the question
should be settled in our primary
election, ami I would suggest that
each voter, write on the back of his
ticket, for or ngainsf repeal, nnd
the Representative elect, be controll
ed by the majority thus expressed.
I am sure this should satisfy all
concerue*!. Th* question then would
lie settled by those most interested.
