•iV'* A LITTLE HEROINE, Who ItfcMd to Sing Song Ibroh ingThrongk Ooorgin, oiyxv i Eousnro welcome In Aanwta, "Oeomfa, by the Old Oonlbdernte Veterans, Whoee Honored Onest the Lit- ' tie Lndjr Wm. The Confederate Veterans at Au- ita last week went wild orer Miss ira Talbott Galt, of Louisville, Kjr., the little girl who refused to slog "Marcblng Through Georgia” when ordered to do so by her teacher last year. She has been Invited to Augusta by the Veterans and arrived in the city on Monday afternoon of last week. The Augusta Chronicle says long be fore the hour for the arrival of the train hundreds of men, women and children began to gather at the Union depot, anxious to be the first to catch a glimpse qf the little heroine and welcome her to the city. Shortly before the scheduled hour for the arrival of the train Gamp 435 met at the monument on Broad street, in full uniform, and marched to the depot In a body, headed by the Robin son Carnival band. A carriage drawn by four white horses, and driven by Oapt. Newt Heggie In person, was on hand to drive the young lady to the Albion. When the news reached the depot that the train was pulling through the yard into the station, the old Veterans fell In line, the band struck up “My Old Kentucky Home,” and. when the great engine of the train pushed under the shed a mighty snout, and a rebel shout at that, went up, the crowd surging wildly to the train. For a moment confusion reigned supreme. A committee, composed of Captain William Dunbar and Samuel Wilson, had gone up the road and boarded the train before it reached the city. When they appeared at the door of the Pull man, leading a beautiful young child, dressed in gray and wearing a jaunty gray cap, a mighty shout rent the air and the band struck up “Dixie.” Again there was pandemonium. Miss Galt was visibly affected by the demonstration. Hundreds of hands were stretched forward to grasp hers, and it was with the utmost difficulty that she could make her way down the steps of the car. Slowly the party had to work its way through the massed, people, few able to catch a glimpse of the little heroine, owining to the crush. SALUTED THE VETERANS. be amiss. "From Louisville corres pondence the following information % _ secured in reference to her refusal to join In or even hear the singing of the “Yankee” song when ordered by her teacher in the Louisville public school three years ago, which she was at tending: “Laura Talbott Galt, a» thirteen year-old school girl, has created a sen sation In Louisville and set the town to talking by her refusal not only to sing “Marcblng Through Georgia,’ but to refuse to hear It sung by her classmates. As a result of her breech of discipline her passage to the high school Is endangered. The matter has been taken up by friends, and will be aired at the next meeting of the board of school trustees. Oon feder ate Veterans and the Daughters of the Confederacy have been aroused, and already the agitation has resulted in the possibility of reopening the fight agaiust the teaching of Civil War history In the public schools, because of the alleged unfairness of the so- called popular histories. “ ‘The little rebel,’ Miss Laura Tal bott Galt, is; the grand-daughter of Mrs- Laura.Talbott Ross, a member of the Daughters of the American Rev olution, and an ardent and unrecon structed member of the Albert Sydney Johnson chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy.” bf the incident Miss Galt Is quoted as follows by the above correpondent: I am too loval to ndy parents and my ancestors to permit the South or the cause for which her sons fought to be slandered or misrepresented, add will not sing, nor will I listen to the singing of such songs as ‘March ing Through Georgia,’ which I hold are unfair to the South, and are re sented by all true Southerners. As SgtmfffiBrT Jiately form- id, Camp kcarriage Thi ine of to When Miss Galt stepped-ia front of the line of old soldiers and gracefully doffed her little Confederate cap, a third mighty shout went up and de spite the cries of the officers the men broke ranks and rushed about Miss Galt, wild with enthusiasm, all anxi ous to be the first to shake her by the band. By this time the little lady had gained her composure, and lid renewed enthusiasm smiled her ing to the right and left as she to the head of the column. From the lined up Confederate sol diers to the grand entrance of the depot Miss Galt received ovation after ovation, the people, old and young, were drawn upRiline to see her. After she bad taken her seat in the carriage ladies and gentlemen surged about it, anxious to shake hCf hand and wel come her to the city — A procession was 1mm ed, led by the Carnival 435 following, and Miss bringing up the rear, march was out Campbell st Broad and down Broad to the main entrance of the Albion. All alon { the line the little lady was accorded an ovation. A large crowd of people were massed in front of the hotel entrance, pushing and craning their necks to catch a glimpse of her as she passed into the hotel lobby. About the carriage Camp 435 and other visit ing camps were drawn up in line. As Miss Galt arose to leave the carriage she turned and gallantly doffed her cap to the heroes of the sixlties. A mighty shout went up and the band began^o play “Dixie.” Miss Galt is a mere child, fifteen years of age, but she holds a place dear in the hearts of the Veterans of Augusta and the South. She Is exceedingly pretty. On the trip to Augusta Miss Galt Is accompanied by her mother, who Is also an attractive woman. Mrs. Galt wore a happy smile, and no wonder, as her little daughter so graciously received the ovations that were being extended at almost every step. It Is safe to say that no young child from another state ever received a warmer welcome, or with a more enthusiastic demonstration, by the people of Augusta. It is an Incident of life of which any one might feel justly proud. Miss Galt will remember her trip to Augusta in the years to come, and in the Providence of God, long after the last of the heroes of the Confederacy have stepped from the scene of action friend and reunions are no more. IS ONLY ▲ SAMPLE. * But yesterday’s demonstration is but a sample of the honors that have been accorded to Miss Galt since her memorable act in refusing to sing or hear sung “Marching Through Geor gia.” All over the South Veterans’ camps have heaped honors on Mias Galt, and her visits to n unions have been in the nature of ovations. Prom inent among those doing her honor Is Camp 435 of Augusta. Phe has been elected an honorary members of the camp, presented with a gold badge of the Confederate Survivors’association, and memoralized in resoutlons, and the last honor conferred was the invi tation extended to visit the Georgia reunion In this city as the guest of the camp. While in the city she will be accorded every honor the old soldiers to confer. Throug! oat yesterday afternoon and last night Hit Galt and Mrs. GalV were kept busy receiving ladies and gentlemen who called at the hotel to Among the visitors werdlran; of veterans from ail over the For ah Miss Galt had a smile antf a loving word. Already she is es tablished as a favorite. ^ ABOUT THE IHCIDENT. in reference to the incident MiaGalt famous wiU aot bad *a perfect right to do so, and was backed by other histories every bit as good as Barnes’. He was a good ad miral, a loyal Confederate, and is en titled to all that can be said In bis behalf. I hope I will be promoted to the high school. My record has been good In all my studies and surely all my good marks cannot be taken away just because 1 refused to bear a song which is an Insult to my ears.” NOT SPOILED A BIT. Another detailed account of the In cident Is the following, Clipped from the Lost Cause, a Confederate maga zine published at Louisville: “The father and the grandfather of little Laura Galt were Confederate soldiers. Both of them are dead. Her grandfather, Dr. Galt, was the first surgeon of the First Kentucky calvary, which regiment was com manded by the late Ben Hardin Helm. There are those who remember Dr. Galt when he wore a Confederate uni form and defended the cause of the South. There are others who remem ber Dr. Galt when he was an honored citizen of Davies county, Kentucky, and both as citizen and soldier we all respect his memory. “His grand-daughter, little Laura Galt, who declined to sing ‘Marching Through Georgia,’ is a pupil in the public school of the city of Louisville, where she lives. She is obedient and respectful to all those who are set in authority over her. . But when her teacher requested .her to sing that song she declined to do so, because its sentiments are a reflection on the honor and integrity of her dead an- oegtorg ** ~ , u . ■—-£>• “Little Miss Galt is a gracious little maiden who seems pot to have been spoiled by all the attention and noto riety given her. THOUGHT IT A SHAME. A reporter asked her a few que$- tiofts-and her responses, put together, make the following explanatlou of her school girl conduct: “I have received many letters from old soldiers from all over the country. When 1 think of what those dear old Confederates suffered for the cause they loved so dearly, 1 feel how unde served is all the praise they give me for tbdJittle act of duty of miue. 1 always keep these letters among my treasures. I had read other histories of the war and knew the truth about the battle between the Kearsarge and tbe Alabama. ^For" this reason I would uot say, as my teacher tried tQ force the class to say, that it was a breach of honor in Admiral Semines to escape on the Deerhound instead of giving, his swefrd to CapUm^Wlnslow when the Kearsage had fired broad side after broadside into the Confed erate cruiser after tbe white tlag was raised. As for putting my fin in my ears, I did that because would not listen to a song that de clares such a tyrant and coward as Sherman and his disgraceful and hor rible march through Georgia and the Carolinas to be glorious. I did not think at the time that my teacher would think it very bad. I felt that forcing the Southern girls who were in the room to slug or listen to such a song was an insult that I could not stand.” * - Crum Named Agulnv Crum, the negro doctor oT Charles ton, continues to be the presidents High-Up on the list of recess appointments which the president to the senate Tuesday for con- rmation was that of Crum to be colW^r of the port of Charleston. Tn& 'JKiie tight will be made to pre vent the oonfirmate, and iu this fight tbe South Carolina senators will have the support of many of the southern confrere, as there are to be several changes in the senate committee on commerce which deals with Crum’s appointment.

The authorised capitalization of ROOSEVELT SCORED Sherman’s Shelled Character and Talents Warmly by Dr. Jones. about the Battle abbey, V Dr.: Jones Explains the Object tbe CnHs and' What Will be _ Dona With the Institution ' ~~ : r ’ ’ > When Completed. In an addrew Wednesday in Au gusta, Ga., before the Confederate oonvention-of Georgia Dr. J.~ William Jones, chaplain commander of tbe general U. 0. V, organization, and at tbe head of tbe movement for tbe erection of a battle abbey in. tbe South, scored President Roosevelt In the harshest terms for his praise of General Sherman and a wilful distor tion of the facte of history. The ad dress produced the wildest enthusiasm among tbe bid veterans of the lost cause and was cheered to the echo Dr. Jones said: £db. joues’ SPEECH. Through the slackness of the peo ple in tbe South there has been allow ed to stand as undisputed history statements that are absolutely and entirely untrue. This extends not only to tbe Ignorant, but to tbe leaden of tbe land. The president— (Voice: I didn’t know We had one) —in his speech, made at the unveiling of Sherman’s monument, spoke of him as the greatest leader in the civil war Sherman, who was routed at Manas sas, at Shiloh, so badly defeated by Stephen D. Lee at Vicksburg that he iirrit. At Washington on Tuesday of last week Booker T. Washington spoke at tbe conference of negro leaders on the race problem. Despite the fact that the special problems of the city negro and rape and lynching were before the conference taf discussion, he carefully avoided them, devoting his time to general advice to thSconference. “I feel,” he said, “If I had listened more and talked less than I have done, I should have accomplished more in the work I have tried to do.” He referred to the need for harmony among organ izations and repeated that the Nation al Stooologlcal society had a work to do which no other organization could ’ perform. Continuing, he aald: “1 am glad we are getting to the point where we can come together without regard to de nomination, even to party, to discuss these problems. There are two things that I want to say to you. I hope you will bear In mind that the great body of your people live in the south. There are 8,000,000 in tbe south and they will be there for years. If you will help us >ou will keep In touch with us who are striving to better the conditions there. There are those of us who expect to remainMgbt in the south and if our people suffer to suffer man, return to '’Memphis; Sherman, who was outgeneraled and defeated by the noble Forest, ^whQ, with a much smaller force, tibae and again sent him flying. Sherman, who never waged successful warfare until with overwhelming numbers be forced his way South and made through Georgia, leaving smoking ruins in his rear. (Voice—Yes, waging war on women and children). Gentlemen, this is tbe man that Theodore Roosevelt, presi dent of the United Statem cbaracter- Izes as a brave and priTliant man Roosevelt has written * history of the West, but when be coifces to tbe story of the great conflict between the North and tbe South his knowledge is sadly deficient.” A veteran In the crowd mentioned Booker Washington’s name and Dr. Jones replied: ‘Booker Washington is a saint compared with him.'” FALSE HISTORIES. Comrades, think of this man Sher- who lied on Wade Hampton in bis official report to the government about tbe burning of Columbia, and who, in a history Written some years after the war, which I always keep handy, for it Is to me an exempUfUf- tlon of that old proverb, 'Ob that mine enemy woum, write a book,’ac knowledges that he Tied, and said that Hampton wif if- braggart, and that he wished to injure him with his own people. , “1 saw a history written by a Northern man which stated that there were 2,000,000 menj In the Con federate army, when, as a matter of fact, there were only 600,000. I won’t say where, but at a Southern univer sity, there was a professor of history who made this statement, and I said to him: If we had ha^.OOO.OOO men we would have run tbe Northern ar mies beyond the Arctic Ocean. We only bad a small number to fight our battles and against them were array ed mercenaries of tbe world and tbe negroes, who in the bloody crater st Petersburg, were sacrificed by their Northern friends.” V BATTLE ABBEY. Dr. Jones opened his address In be half of the Confederate Memorial As sociation by paying a magnificent tribute to Georgia Confederate sol diers, relating many Instances of valor that came to his notice during tbe sixties. To the convention he brought i,he greetings of Virginia veterans to the Georgia reunion. As thq representative of the Con federate Memorial Association, better mown as the Battle Abbey movement,. Dr. Jones entered into a concise state ment of Its affaire. Charles Broad way Rqpse, a private In the Confeder ate army, deeded 8100,000 for tbe reptloo^of a Confederate memorial iail, the proviso being that the U. C. V. supplement it by an equal &mount, to select tbe site of the Battle Abbey. ' ^ r ‘ Jones announced ^tbatralready: been ra contribu aim Is to g amount Abbey on a at first 850,000 ^Lthe fund. Tbe~ gment the present and bulld tbe Battle mote magnificent scale Led. He wanted plan! Georgia to take a part In the erection of the abbey : The Idea is to establish a great 11 jrary—a library of true American history. In the building will be pre served all tbe historic records of the Confederacy, where it can be oonSqlt- ed by the world in the generations come.-, I In passing Dr. Jones scored tbe public schools of Augusta for using what he termed an infamous, lying text book, Eggleston U. S. History. The movement for tbe erection of the Battle Abbey was endorsed amid the wildest entbusiasm, and a large num ber present pressed forward to con tribute to the fund. Cards were dis tributed and quite a large subscrip tion list raised for future payment. scret car lines 1 Bvthe United States in IMS amounted to 82,870,629,316, while tbe gross earnings from opera tions were 8247.563,999, and the next .4 Income, after deducting all expenses, both operating and fixed charges, was •»,6*,977.

At Gainesville, Ga., last week an in dignation meeting, attended by 200 of the beet citizens of the city, was held in tbe city hall for the pnrpuee of adopting plans to suppress the sale of whiskey and the operation of objqQ^ tlonable resort In tbe city. A Law and Order league was formed before tbe meeting adjourned and 100 prom inent citizens volunteered to serve on a committee to wait upon the per sons operating the blind tigers and other place* and Informing them that they would be given only three days in which to get oat of the city and tbe county.

In tbe discussions of this conference condemnations of wrong should have a large part, but a very large part should be given to bringing Paca street out something constructive.

But along with condem- . nation there Ta a flemaga'~ fdr gqme- }^SP-waa .hHndiolded thing -constructive.

W. Lyons, the negro leader and register of the treasury, also spoke, advising the conference to ferret out the crimes which had brought about tbe numerous lynchlngs In order to show tbe wrong done tbe race. A committee was appointed to show by the records the truth of the state ment, mad# by the Rev.

At Wallace, Idaho, two persons were killed and two wound«d In a shooting affray at tbe entrance of the opera house last Tuesday night'weeic.

He returned with a revolver and waited until the per formance was over. Rose was 4 the first to leave the opera house. As be stepped outside, Cuff began firing. Tbe first shot missed and Rose return ed tbe fire. -Dr. Fims, who w$s escorting a lady, followed Rose out and as he did so, a bullet presumbably from Cuff’s revolver, struck him in tbe bead, killihg him Instantly.
