THE BLUE AND THE
GRAY.
Tomorrow in Boston—in Fane-
nil Hall will meet together at a
banquet given by the E. \V. Kins
ley G. A. R. Post the blue and
the gray. Among the list of in
vited guest wer- several gentlemen
from the South—several who were
prominent as Confederate soldiers.
But that is not an uncommon
meeting in these days. The North
and the South have long been re
united. The North has hail us at
the odds—but the spirit of ani
mosity—the feeling of revenge has
long since been dead. The monu
ments that Sherman left as he
marched from Atlanta to the sea
are almost gonu. The homes that
were saddened and the heartB that
wore torn have long been part of
of history. The blood that was
spilled and the lives that were
given have become a part of the
common history of a common
country.
Tbo Boston meeting will help
us all forget—will help us all for
give. The Yankees came down
here and pillaged and plundered
They whipped the South because
the South ran short on rations
and short on men. The odds were
against this section—but never ou
earth before and never on earth
again will a country put up » fight
that the Confederacy put up—
and so long as the mocking bird
shall sing and so long as Dixie is
remembered—the immortal I.ee
will not be forgotten.
The Confederate army, ragged
and hunger—weak and tottering
—still remained brave to the last
ditch—and had Lee said the word
there would never have been Bur.
render. Not in the history of the
world was there aB great a general
and as great an army as followed
the stars and bars. This is not
sentiment. It is not heresay evi
dence—it is a fact which history
must record and acknowledge. A
hundred years when indeed the
bitterness engendered will have
been forgotten—and then the
Confederate army and its great
commander will occupy a place in
history that will be at once the
admiration and the glory of the
world.—Everything.
and principle in 1896 and 1000, as
the Democratic party seemed then
to think, it is right now, and to
Bay that the excess of gold pro
duction just at this time has fixed
the gold standard and scouted the
theory of himetalism is just as
absurd and untrue as to say that a
large crop, or an over production
of cotton for this or any oue Bi-a-
sou must necessarily fix the price
of that staple for all subsequent
crops.
Let it not be forgotten that- the
same crowd of Wall Street New
York, who, through sharp politics,
have forced the gold standard
upon the Democratic party as the
currency of the country, and de
clared it fixed as such by law, is
the very same crowd who clandes
tinely secured the demonetization
of silver in 1878. Fair Play.
Our Picture Gallery
TURN ABOUT IS BUT
FAIR PLAY.
Editor Courier:—When the
Democratic party in convention
assembled in 1890 and again in
1900 adopted bimetalisn in their
platforms and nominated Wm. J.
Bryan as their candidate for the
presidency, the Gold Standard
Democrats, headed by Grover
Cleveland, David B. Hill, August
Belmont and others, brought out
Palmer and Buckner as their can
didate and by supporting them
defeated the regular party nomi
nee.
Now that the gold standard
leaders, through political legerde
main, secured perfect control and
dictation of the recent Democratic
convention at St. Louis, and
nominated Alton B. Parker and
Henry G.'Davis, on a platform,
made a gold standard platform by
the famous, and doubtless pre
arranged, telegram of Judge Par
ker, would it uot now be in order,
and but fair play, for the bimetal-
ists to bring out another Palmer
and Buokner ticket? It is a poor
rule, even in politios, that wont
work both ways, and what just
grounds of complaint could these
goldites have?
It is no argument to say as did
Judge Parker, “that the gold
standard is now the currency of
the country and so fixed by law."
If himetalism was right in theory
There live men who build cities
and factories and feed thousands
and do other things equally as
great, yet there is another sphere
in life, and if it were not for it,
the world would be in a turmoil,
and the baser things would pre
dominate, men would live on hu
man flesh, murder would be rife,
virtue would be an unknown
quantity and anarchism would
reign supreme. It is the kind now
of which we speak who labor and
plod and sutler, without luxury,
without wealth, to populate
another city, the city of golden
streets and sapphire walls, and
bright, beautiful mansions pre
pared for you and me without
money and without price, and as
we reject them these good men
are here to point them out. A
familiar figure on our streets is a
man growing bent fr, in tho accu
mulation of years, who has gone
in and out amongst our people all
hiB long life scattering sunshine
where shadows were wont together,
singing songs of the glory world
while some one was iu the thrills
of death, speaking words of com
fort to those who were left to
mourn, and telling thorn of the
mansions which had been pre
pared for them. Ot course our
picture is nt once recognized as
our friend and fellow-townsman,
Rev. E. D. Stone. He has mar
ried more people, preached more
funerals aud done more work of
this kind than any twenty men
in Athens. He is beloved and
honored and revered by all
our people; his life has been a
benediction to our city. You
hear no one speak except in the
most glowing termB of him as a
man and as a preacher. He was
never known to refuse a call at no
matter what distance if it was in
his power to fulfill it. He has a
nourishing Sunday school on
Baldwin street, and has always
loved to work among the children,
and there is where he is sewing
seed. As we have said he is get
ting old now and cannot do the
work iu a religious way that he
used to. As we said his life in
Athens has indeed been fraught
with good works and noble deeds,
and our city has been blessed by
his having lived amongst us. We
wish him many years of strength
and usefulness yet to help popu
late the city of which he loves to
tell, “not made by bands, but
eternally in the heavens,” and his
mansion will be among the bright
est there.
