the pathos, the. poetry, the. romanc?
af the great struggle, let who will en

material and everlasting. It is won
derful that ah eminent civilian of
New England soon after the war pro
posed to obliterate all recollections
of the strife by putting out ot sight
all the relics ? that savored of battle
and carnage. He desired not to pre

epitomized the glories, of Gettysburg
and Shiloh, and he rwouid not erect

behalf of the freedom and enlighten
ment of the human race. Sad as it
is in many respects, the heart of man
kind .is ever touched, with the story
of conflict' and conquest and callous
must.be the soul whose.inmost re
cesses are not .stirred by the struggles
of patriots'for "the hoon of freedom'
or the preservation of independence.
Valiant Cuhans striving to throw
off the yoke of the tyrant Spain,
or heroic Greece defying the
great powers of Europe in an
effort to maintain itself among
the nations of the world, must arouse
the deepest sympathy of every man
who has ever feltttie glow of patriot
ism in his own breast. No, it is not
in vain that men give honor to the
deeds of heroes, and that they gather
the relics which speak more elo

whisper that the ex-Confederates are
unmindfuj of their obligations as
citizens of a common country. The
false charge of disloyalty has van

less calumny that he was not flt to be

PRESIDENT PRESSES BUTTON
The President Introduced by Presi
dent Tucker, of the Exposition
Company, Who Declared That the
Executive's Nam? Would go Down
in History os the Greatest Advo
cate of the Great Event.
Norfolk, . Va., Special-President
Roosevelt^ tlie diplomatic, naval and
military representative of 87 of ?.he
nations of the world and the Govern
oVs of a score of States'participated
uv Hie opening execises of the James
town Ter-eentennial "Exposition.
While the exposition, which is to re
main open until November 30th next,
?is still far from complete, the ?u
tinisiied condition of buildings and
grounds was not allowed to interfere
in any way with ' the celebration of
the three hundredth anniversary of
the first English settlement in Ameri
ca. From the firing of a salute of
100 guns by the United States army,
through the picturesque beauty of the
review of the international fleet of
war vessels anchored in Hampton
.tygads, through the ceremonies of
dedication at which . the President
spoke and down to a'late hour when (
th? chief'.'executive repaired aboard
Che naval yacht Sylph to spend the
night "iii the lower bay,' the day was
crowded, with notable incident.
.Not .the. least impressive of the
day's events was the quick action of
the President in assuming command
of the situation in front of the crowd
ed grandstand from which he spoke
when a panic seized the surging
throng of spectators. Pressed against
the guard ropes hy thousands of eag
er persons in the rear of the gather
ing who were forcing their way for
ward, the safety of life and limb of
those who had the more favored posi
tions were endangered. President
Rosevelt had just been introduced hy
Harry St. George Tucker, the head of
the Jamestown Expositon Company,
when the disorder and unrest in the
crowd reached its height and the civil
guards in front of \ie grandstaud
seemed about to be swept from theil
posts. With the agility of a school
boy, the President jumped upon Lite
table -"which had been placed in the
speaker's -balcony and waving his
arms cried out to the men of Vir
ginia to live up to their traditions of
galantry and cease .the pushing and
crowding which was threatening the
lives of the women and children in
the as.&mblage, a throng which all but
blocked the big grass-covered plaza
known as Lee's Parade.
The ceremonies of dedication were
.me icyaat- enuea me President re
paired again to the grand stand from
which he reviewed a parade of Unit
ed States, soldiers and sailors. Sea
men from the visiting fleets were ex
pected to take part in the parade, but
Hie difficulties of landing on the un
completed grounds prevented. The pa
rade was quickly over and a reception
by the President in the auditorium
brought the day's events at the fair
grounds to a close.
" The addresses of President Roose
velt and President Tucker of the
Jonestown Exposition Company were
botli of a high order and were atten
tively listened to by an immense
crowd of people. The opening cere
monies were fully up to the highest
'expectations of those in attendance.
PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS.
President Roosevelt, being intro
duced, delivered a strong and patriot
ie address to the immense ' throng
present. His speech was of too great
length to be given here in full. The
fallowing, however, are some of h's
most striking thoughts.
"At the outset I wish to say a word
nf special greeting to the repr?senta
tives of the foreign governments here
present. Thy have come to assist ns
in celebrating what was in very truth
the birthday of this nation, for it
was here that thc colonists first set
tled, whoso incoming, whose growth
from their own loins and by the addi
tion of newcomers from abroad, was
to make the people which 1G0 years
hier assumed the solemn responsibili
ties and weighty duties of complete
independence.
"Again, let me bid you welcome,
ivpresentatives of our sister republics
cf this continent. In the larger as
pect, your interests and ours are iden
tical. Your problems and ours are in
large part the same; and as we strive
to settle them, I pledge you herewith
cn the part of this nation the heart
iest friendship and good will."
"Finally, let me say a special word
of greeting to those representatives^
thc Asiatic nations who make up that
newest East which is yet thc most
ancient East, the East of time im
memorial. In particular, let me ex
press a word of hearty welcome tc
rho representatives of the mighty is
land empire of Japan; that empire,
which, in learning from the West, has
shown that it had so much, so ver}
much, to teach the West in return.
"To all of you here gathered I ex
press' my thanks for your coming, ape
I. extend to you my earnest wisbe.'
Cor the welfare of your several na
tions."

PRES- f FINLEY SPEAKS
- *? ?
Southern's' Executive Ddivere Ad
dress Before Number of Represen
tative Business Men Under Aus
pices of Mobile Commercial Club.
Mobile, Ala., Special-President
W. W. Findley, of the Southern
Railway delivered an address before
a large number of representative busi
ness men under the auspices of the
Mobile Commercial Club. He AVUS
introduced 'by Vice President E. L.
Russell, of the Mobile & Ohio Rail
road. President Finlay said in part:
"The commerce of the United
States with^the Latin-American coun
tries is now growing more rapidly
than that with any other part of the
world and the completion of thc
Panama canal wil give a great im
petus to th? development of all thc
countries south 'of the Rio Grande.
"There are only two ways of read
ing marketsir-rail and water. Neith
er is sufficient alone. Water trans
portation is not adequate for interior
commerce, ??or by itself for coaswise
or for foreign commerce. - Rail trans
portation miigt stop at the shores of
the sea.
, "It would-be just as logical for the
people to airray themselves against
water transportation or to undertake
to hamper arid cripple it as it is for
them to arra$?themselves against rail
roads and toffavor success which will
hamper and "cripple them.
"I think it is apparent that any
public policyKtoward the railroads
which limits itheir power to increase
their facilities; and their carrying ca
pacity to keep- pace with, or to even
anticipate tb'? active production of
the Southern people, is destructive of
the best interests-of the vital inter
ests-of the people themselves:
"It is unnecessary to point out ro
intelligent business men that the pow
er of railroads to increase their fa
cilities is dependent upon their earn
ing capacity ?nd their credit or ?hat
their credit Ts dependent upon sus
tained earning capacity. The roads
cannot expect to earn enough from
their currents-operations to provide
themselves with the facilities abso
lutely essential in the interest of our
people.. The money must be borrow
ed.
"I do not believe, that, with a full
knowledge of the facts and with a
full appreciation of the destructive
consequences to the railroads, to their
revenues, and to their capacity to
serve the public, either the Govern
or the Legislature would have favor
ed the legislation in question and
when the true facts are known, I.have
supreme confidence that the cour.se

Estes, in the village of Lovi?gst?n.
It was conducted by the pastor of the
Livingston Methodist church. Rev.
H. F. B. Martin. The burial services
were in charge of Livingston Lodge,
No. 2C.r). of the Independent Order of
Odd Fellows, of which the young man
was a member.
Drugging Story Questioned.
At "first the drusrginir stoiy was ac
cepted without question, but now
there are persons who hold that thc
only drug used in accomplishing Misa
Loving's downfall was whiskey. The
Estes and those in sympathy with
them deny that there was an assault,
and point to youmr Estes' behaviour
ofter his return as inconsistent wirb
any other view. He himself procured
the physician for the young lady, and
the next, day went about his business
with entire, unconcern. General re
gret is expressed that Judge Loving
did not allow young Estes an oppor
tunity to explain, and some say that
he shot too soon. Criticism has boon
made of the smallness of the bail
bond. The case bids fair to excite
BS much interest in tins section as the
Strother-Bywaters tragedy.
Salaries of Rural Carriers.
Washington, Special.-Postmaster
General Meyer bas approved the de
tailed adjustment of salaries ot' rural
free delivery cariers, as submitted
by Assistant Pos!mas!or General De
Graw, and the new schedule which
will become effective July?l next will
make a graded increase in the com
pensation of carriers of from 0 lo
25 per cent., based upon the number
of miles traversed by carriers as
shown by the records of the Depart
ment. .

negro woman, who was beat and out
to death on the outskirts of the city
last Saturday hight were given a pre
liminary .hearing in the mayor's court
and held for action by the grand jury.
Application for bail was refused.
Two-Cent Passenger Rate.
Richmond, Ta., Special.-The State
corporation commission has handed
down a decision in'the rate cases by
which after July 1, passenger rates
on trunk lines arc reduced to two
cents per mile, on their feeders ro
2 1-2 cents, on certain minor roads
they will be three and on one or two
lines 3 1-2 cents. On freight a uni

KATH BY COLLAPSE
Great Pier in Baltimore Harbor
Tumbles In
THREE DEAD AND 16 MISSliM
General Superintendent Edson, of
Baltimore Bridge Company,
Among the Injured, Being Caught
While Warning Workmen^ off the
Pier.
Baltimore, Special.-A section of
the new pier being erected at the im
migration station- at Locust Point,
South Baltimore, for the Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad for the use of the
North German Lloyd Steamship Com
pany, collapsed Saturday, carrying
down between 20 and 25 men of whom
three are known to be dead, 16 miss
ing and 15 injured, most of them la
borers. Among the last named is W.
N. Edson, general superintendent of
the Baltimore Bridge Company,
which had charge of the steel con
struction. Ile was caught while
warning the workmen off the pier.
The dead so far as known are:
Howard L. Eilender, Baltimore,
Engineer.
Tony Wolf, Baltimore.
Robert Sweetman, Woodberry.
Eilender lost his life trying to save
the men on the outer end of the pier.
Superintendent Edson, who was in
jured in the performance of the same
vessel, was not seriously hurt.
All the victims were employes of
thc Baltimore Bridge Company. This
was a two-story building 1,000 feet
long and its estimated cosi. was $400,
000. About 4S0 feet of it sank.
Warning of the disaster was heard
several days ago when the piles to
ward the end of the pier began set
tling and vigorous efforts were being
made to save the struct ujL?.
Saturday shortly before thc disas
ter occurred the piles began settling
in such an alarming manner that or
ders to leave the place were circulat
ed among the fifty odd workmen and
it is due to this fact that the casual
ties were not greater. Those caught
were on the end of the pier on the
roof.
The falling of the pier into the
water created a tremendous wave in
the harbor and led many persons io
believe there had been an earthquake.
At Speddens ship yard, directly
across the harbor from Locust Point,
the water suddenly dropped eight
feet, throwing two men overboard
from a marine railway. Tho;/ were
rescued with difficulty.
Two Die in 40-Foot Plunge.

patch to The News from Albion says
Rufus B. Bullock, former Governor
of Georgia, died Saturday at thc fam
ily homestead at Albion, where he
had resided since the death of his
wife two years ago. He was T.'i years
of age and leaves a daughter, Mrs.

Harrisonburg Homes Burned.
Harrisburg, Special.- Fire herc
Thursday afternoon destroyed two
residences on Depot.Hill, resulting iii
a loss of over $5.000. The fire start
ed from a spark from a traction en
gine, which ignited the roof of A
house owned by the heirs of Gusta
vius Gay. The second house burned
was owned by Lewis Poynes.
Child Labor Bill Passed.
Tallahassee, Fla., Special.-The
Senate passed the child labor bill by
a majority of two and the measure
is now to go before the House.
Sentiment against child labor has
been carefully nurtured in Florida by
the labor unions, for in no city ex
cept Tampa is child labor employed
to any degree. A strong lobby has
worked against the measure on the
ground that it would legalize the idle
ness of the negro youth, winch is
profitably employed in the fish and
oyster factories along the coast. It
is likely that the measure will pass
the House.
Bitten by Mad Dog.
Springfield, Special-Pete Duncan,
of the Tenth District of this county,
was attacked and severely bitten by
a mad dog last week. The dog at
tacked Duncan and bit him on Hie
