HOME.
Carrie Nation will be in Augusta
Monday, February 11th. and on that
night will deliver an address in the
Miller-Walker hall Tor the benefit of
thelocal FlorenceCri t*nton home, the
contract bringing her to Augusta having
been made yesterday by the managcrsof
that institution.
Atlanta and Augusta are the only
two points which the famous woman
wHl visit in <'*?orgla on this trip?
whether because they are the most
prominent municipalities or are the
most in need ol her hatchets and sermons,
has not been stated.
Mrs. Nation is traveling through
Jeorgia fully equipped with saloonsmashing
apparatus, but thus far her
march has been marked with ' bloodess
victories." While she seems to
nave given up her erstwhile destructive
methods of emphasizing her
teachings. .Mrs. NatiOiistillicd'nuea
to wage relentless wa^jare against
Iquor.
" 1 am no tcmperanco woman. Neith r
am 1 a local option 1st," she said. "1
am an aniiiiiilationist. I want it
wlp<d t ut and a law made so that
liquor cannot be made, sold, bartered,
or given away.
' And 1 am carrying this gospel
everywhere. .Jesus went to hell and
preached there. Why should I not go
to dives and brothel and preach Ills
word? lie ate with publicans and sinners.
So will I go everywhere aiid
mingle with the lowly and preach Ills
gospel "
felling aloulher latest experience
i short lime ago at the white house
when she cudeavoicd tc see President
lto ?Rcvelt. Mis. Nation said:
"See him?" Of course I didn't s<-e
him. First of all, let me say I'm anti
Unosevelt. I'm attains, him. No, they
didn't let me see him, but they didn't
throw me out and didn't have n>e arn
sted, like they did once before. But
1 had ray say and told them what 1
thought of him before I left. I told
them that any hum, thief, rogue, crook
or drunkard or cigarette fiend in the
country could see the president, but
not Carrie Nation, and 1 told them
what to ask him. Finally one of the
men coming out of the president's of
tice asked me to leave. No. they didn't
have me arrested t'me."
I it has teen justabouta jear sine
Mrs. N; t on smas n-d h?*r la* t saloon.
That saloon was In II< usion, Texas,
and was known as the Carrie Nation
saloon."
*1 sent word," slid Mrs Nation.
'Several times for them to lake the
sitfn down Iroin over the d<?or, and
i,hey didn't. So when I went to Houston
and was h>okintr over the tele
phone hook I noticed tlie name. 1
went into a hardware store and bought
a hatchet and a stout sack. Then 1
gathered some rock a from a place
where they were putting up a new
biilldirg and started for the place. J
l?egan at the side door kuo finished at
the frontdoor. I smashed even thin*
in sight, and ordered the b'wlldenc
bartender to have my name takei
down before noon the next day. Tbi
sign was taken down and they didn'i
have m'i arrested that, time nor put m
I In Jail."
Mrs Nation uses atones and rock
in smashing saloons for the reusoi
that the Scriptures tell alioui th
stone* crying out and she mjth the
' are the means of carry ng out he
i work.
A BEARTIFUL PLEA. ,
II OLD 80LDIEK DEGL8 TIE ITATE ^
TO PROVIDE rO& REOVIOH.
Each confederate soldier in the four
years of War Between the States per- .
formed deeds that would make 1m
mortal thellvesofa thousandordinary
men. After the wareachConfederate
soldier, when he redeemed the State
from negro rule, performed deeds that
would make immortal the history of
a thousand years. When be came back ^
from the war he stood and heard the
blare of triumphant bugles eounding u
requiems over the graves of the noblest
men ever born. *

All he had was honest v. Asking aid "

of none but God he redeemed this land
of ours and gave It to his children, E

his children are reaping a harvest of q
riches. He fathered a new nation,unfurled
a new flog and fought tor glory ^
and daily bread. He did more than
any other race ever did., When tin- y
armed and unshackled he foroed his
conquerors to deed back to his children
their homes and their brightest, l
liberty.
Ninety-live per cent of the old Con- 3
federates arc poor: all of them are old l
and broken and rent; all they have is g
their memories. His sons may not
understand it. but lie loves to meet
with ids old comrades in reunion. He
has asked the legislature to appropriate
fiJ.&oo, so that lie may hold his
reunions each year. He is not begging.
I lie money belongs to him. He earned
it with his own blood in the Wll- ?
derness. at Shiloli and at Gettysburg. .
S ime may say let the citizens and town
ask him and take care of him. in 11X6
he was not asked at all. In 19o6, in* ^
vlted only to one place. He Is being
neglected.
The Confederate veterans are en- '
titled to tbe tu.aou they ask the leglslature
for. It is no charitable gift. ,
If South Carolina refuses to give it,
then whey refuse to listen to the cries
of the bent oid soldier for the first
time. They will cause the gray to be
bowed with grief. Refuse, acd let the
