The Laurens Advertiser $1.00 per Year in Advance. THE GREAT SPEECH OF A GEORGIAN. A FINK PICTURK OF TUB CONFEDERATE ?OLOIBK. His Departure fur the War De Herihed und Iiis Return From Rlooriy FieldH to PeucefurPiir Htiits. The speech of Hon. James* W. Aus tin, of Atlanta, was one of the liuest foaturea of the reunion, and is as fol lows : A distinguished bishop of tho Moth odlst church toils tho story of an im poouatouB old lady who was engaged iu tbo infant industry of raising chickens for rovenua only, and who, to reduco nor oxponses and onlarge her profits, hit upon the novel idea of mixing sawduBt with tho bran which sho fed to her feathered tribo. Observing that tho un suspocting fowls readily ato, and ap peared to tbrivo on, thoir mixed diot, tho thrifty, old damo began to loBSon tho quantity of bran and increaso tbo pro portion of sawdust until dually the old lady believed that she had struck a bonan/.a in tho chickon business. After a tiino, however, one of her hone, which had been nourished on this sawdust rogimo, took to the nest and in the dao courso of natural incubation hatched out a brood, but when tho good damo wont out to examino and count hor little pots, sho found that of tho five chickens tho old hen had brought off, four of tho lot had wooden logs and tho other was a woodpeckor. Whatovor may be tho result of the speech which I am .scheduled to hatch out on this occasion, 1 can say to tho old soldiers whom I see boforo mo that from tho day I slippod out of a South Carolina cradlo to this good hour, I have been fed on the nure and unadulterated milk of the- gospel of Southern senti ment ; my heart has been warmed at the fires of undying devotion to Southorn memories and Southern traditions, and that I have novor yet boon fed and, thank God, novor shall bo on the niisor ablo Bawdust of falso history and vilo slandor which would impugn the eter nal justico aud tho absoluto right of tho causo for which you fought, or detract oue iota from tho splendor of your re nown and from that magniticont legacy of honor which you carved out with your swords on a hundrod battle fields to leave as a continuing and imporish ablo inhoritanco to your childron and your grandchildren's childron, and I can and do further assort aud maintaiu that the Sinthern born boy who can look un moved on theso battle scarred survivors of u thousand times the noblest army that ever took tho hold, was raised on saw dust, and is as destitute of sentiment and barron of soul as a red streaked, long billed, yellow headed woodpecker. Veterans, as I stand here to-day rovorontly in this preBcnco and look out with hoi rowful oyos ou the empty sleeves and crippled forms beforo me?as I gaze with love in my heart on your bronzed and wrinkled faces, I can feel the spirit form of fancy stoaling softly to my side, and deftly touching with her magic lingers my trembling eyelids, endow m< with a vision through which I can sue tho tide of years roll hackward. 1 can soo tho sconos of other and of older days pass in review beforo me and as I look upon those moving pictures of tho past "There cornea a voice that awakons my oul ; It is the voice of years that are gone? They roll before mc with their deeds." Fancy lifts hor wand, and lo ! I can see your gray hairs turn again to black. I can see tho furrows on your timo worn facos ono by ono fade out and on your chocks the rosy glow of youthful vigor flush and burn. I can sco your empty slcovos till cut with tho stalwart limbs of lusty young manhood. I can see you stand out beforo me the samo bright eyed, lion-hearted, strong and handsome boys you woro whon war's rudo tocsin sounded out its loud alarum. Aud ere tho echo of tho call to arms has died away, I can hear your answer. "Heady! my country summons and I givo my all 1" . I can soo you the .same Btalwart and handsome sons of tho South as you march away to battlo. I can seo you leavo tho happy homo, tho old homo where your oyus llrst saw tho light of day, tho old homo "down on the farm " whero you hunted the fox, the opossum and tho coon, the home around whoso doorstop in boyish sport you pitched your horseshoo quoits, played leapfrog, marbles, mumblopeg and townball; tho homo around whose ample fireside with its blazing logs whoro on winter nights you cracked your hickory nuts and roasted your sweot pota toes in tho glowing embers ; the old home at whoso hearthstone in the golden long ago you knelt and lisped with childish lips tho prayer you said at tho knee of that dear form that looks down on you today from beyond the stars with that same unquonchable and unsearchable love. Yes, I can seo you, veterans, take your leavo of tho old homo. I can see you as you go oft up tho road, turn back and wavo your arms in ono last salute at the little group on the piazza, or clustered at tho gate. I can soo your old black mammy around whoso neck your baby arms had often twined, standing to one side wiping her eyes with her red Imo dium. 1 can see tho old grandfather, too feoblo to stand, seated in his splitbot tomed ehair, leaning heavily on his cane, but vigoronsly waving his high hat to fou over the banister in a last farowoll. can soe tho fond mothor loaning on the stronger shoulder of your-sister, straining her dear old ovos through hor glasBos to rlvot ono last lingering, loving look on her doparting boy, bat though heart was heavy as death itself, don't yon remember, veterans, bow sho and sis ter, and sweetheart beckoned yon on. to go on, and how they waved yon for ward with something like this (oxhibit ing a lady's handkorohief) ? the 11 rat dags of tho Confederacy?even as the scalding tears ran down their cheeks, the holiest drops of consecrated patrio tism that over foil from mortal eyes I "The mother who conceals her grief, While to her breast hor son she presses, Then breathes a few brave words and brlof, Kissing the patriot brow she blesses. With no one but her secret God To know the pain that weighed upon her. Sheds holy blood as e'er the sod Received on froedom's fleld of honor," I pause to pay bnt this single trlbnte to the womanhood of the South. It em braces but eleven Anglo-Saxon words. It fell from the lips of a Southern wo man, and it sums up tho whole story of wo.nun's fidelity to the lost oauso : "I would rather be a soldier's widow than a coward's wife 1" That was the senti ment which rang from Maryland to Toxas. And, now, I can hear again the clear. ' shrill notes of the fife, the stirring roll of the drpm, the swelling hlaate of the bngle, the measured tramp of infantry, the rumble of artillery, and the clatter ing gallop of cavalry as the legions of the South pour forward swiftly forming In the ranks of war, and adopting for this occasion the boautiful thonght of an eloquent South Carolinian, I can stand by the roadside in old Virginia and wit ness tbe sad and sublime spoctaclo of your young and vigorous columns In spired with as earnest and devoted a patriotism as ever led men to battle, marching through Richmond to tho Po tomac, like th) gladiators of ancient Rome passing beneath the Imperial throno in the emphlthoatro and oxclaim ing with uplifted arms, " Moraturt to ?alutant 1" And my countrymen, it was your own hand that shouldered thomjsket, yqur ?*? JKyvJald bare to tho BVituto. 'You did not sacrifice yoursolf to your country with tho admirable patriotism of that Northern gentleman, who being twitted in a political campaign on his war record, or rather the absence of one. replied In this strain: " My competitor has told you of the sorvlce ho rendered to tho oaptry in the last war. Let mo tell yon that I too actod an humble part in that memorable contest. When tho tocsin of war summoned tho chivalry of tho North to rally to tho dofonso of the national honor, I, follow citizens, animated by that patriotic spirit which glows in every American bosom, hired a substitute for that war, and tho bo lit h of that man <qow lie bleaching on the banks of tho Chlckahomlny." There may have boon a few Southern men who sunt subbtitutos. I have hoard of but coo instance only and it happened in this wise: Two Georgians, Bridges and Moore, were prisoners of war at Fort McUonry. Bridges was suffering from a wound in tho log and on account. of ditUculty Id walking, requested bis comrade Mooro on one occasion to an swer sick oall for him. It soems that Bridges had boon unwell and the prison, surgoon had given him a box or little liver pills for his malady. His pills wor.c out and he wanted more. He instructed Mooro to answer in his name, to say he was getting better, but to ask for a fresh supply of pills Moore cheerfully went as Bridges' substitute, fell into lino and when his turn came answerod to the name of Bridges, and requested another box of tho pills. The surgeon eyed Moore narrowly: " Bridges," he said, " you're uot well yet. Well, I must change your proscription." Forthwith ho picked up a retort, poured a liquid from ono vial, thon another, aud still another. " Doc tor," said Moore, " I don't think I need that; I'm getting better, doctor, tho pill will bo enough, doctor, tho pills will do." " No, thoy wont," roared tho surgoon, " drink that, darn you, drink it, I say." There was no holp for it. Down went tho mixture When ho returned to quarters, Bridges asked MOOIJ if he got his pills. " No 1" said Mooro. " Well, you noedn't snap my head off," said Bridges " Bridges," Baid Mooro, with a groan," if yon ain't a well man in a day or two, it won't be my fault, for I'vo just swallowed the con foundost doso of mediclno for you that over wont down my throat." No, my country men, it was your OWn voico that answorod to that call No morconary bands wore yours, no sovor oign'B shilling tempted you to deeds of blood, aud so tho otornal pen of him who shall writo tho impartial truth of history will never bo ablo to record in tho whole story of tho four years' struggle one singlo inBtanco of a Southern soldier who fought among tho slain for gold or booty. Ah, the depth and breadth of the patriotism of that day. Young men of the now South I lot mo toll you a story which illustrates tho doathlcBS devotion tho Spartan heroism of tho men of tho old South : Col. Sampson VY. Harris, of the Sixth Georgia rogimont, near the close of tho war, was wounded in ono'of the battlos around Richmond. He was being carried to tho rear, and while lying on the straw in the ambulanco, ho heard the driver say to someone by the road side. "Don't you want to ride?" The atubulauco stopped, and ho saw tho driver roach down and pull a man up ou the seat beside him. Colonel Harris saw it waa a wounded soldier. Ho spoke to the man and asked how ho was wounded. Tho poor follow turned in his soat and showod him. His right hand had been shot away at tho wrist. It was hanging by tho shrods and teudous, the jagged bono Btlcklng out from the arm. With his loft hand, the soldier was clasping his wrist above the wound to stop \ht (low of blood Looking at his severed right hand, the man said to Col. Harris ; "I have a wife and two little children at homo and so far as I know that's tho only support thoy havo in all the world." And then, as if ashamod of his momentary weakness, ho said : " But I gavo it to my country, and hero's anothor she can have if sho wants it." "A prince of the blood," said Col Harris, "could havo knelt at that man's feot and learned the losson of patriot ism." Can you wonder that with a spirit like this animating tho soldiery of thefSouth, it to >k billions of treasures and millions of men and four years of desperato and dead y struggle to form tho bitter word " surrender,' through their tooth. It was this spirit which made the army of tho Bouth tho most destructive ongine of war that over blow on battle field its broath of fire, or harrowed opposing forces with its toeth of stuol. It was this spit it that left tho record of an army six hundrod thousand strong nl its utmost fighting capacity which placod tho names of Heven hundred and fifty thousand wounded and disablod survivorB of the enemy on tho pension rolls of tho United BtatoB, and which enrolled on the lists of Confederate captives the names of two hundred and sovonty live thousand Fed oral prisoners of war I And with all due honor to tho gallant foeslcbluo who mot you in the san guinary conflict, it can bo truthfully said that your roll of captives would be still longer if your broath could have hold out at critical times and somo of our Yankee brethren had been loss fleot of foot. At least this must be bo if we are to believe a Federal soldier's account of ono of his uncles in battle which runs as follows: "Yes, my undo William I was a patriotio man. Ho was always first In battle?coming home. The hat tie of Bull Bun was a great battle. My uncle William was there boldly fighting for two days?sometimes on ono side ?ud sometimes on the other. " Yes, my unc'.e William was a very patriotic man. He loved tho glorious stars and stripes? lovod to rally around tho dear old flag?and he said ho was willing to loavotho thickest of tho fight any time, Just to go to the rear to raliy around it. *? I must tell you how undo William and I killed our last rebol. Wo marched out to Bull Hun with Fit/. John 1'orter anclo William and I did, and when we got about half way there, we met a robe) In ambush, no pulled out his revolver ; uncle William and I pulled out our bowie-knives, and then we both took the load from tho start and kept it clear into Washington City/' And speaking, veterans of that battle of Bull Kan, reminds me of Eli Perkins' story Havo you heard it V Well, at tho battle of Bull Bun, God oral Alger mot a breathless soldier Hy ing with the rest of the army towards Washington. The soldier had a wound on his face. " That's a bad wound, my man," said the general, as the soldier halted " Whore did you get it ?" ? Got it in the Bull Run flght yesler My Hair "I had ? very severe sickness that took off all my hair. I pur chased a bottle or Ayer's Hair Vigor and it brought all my hair back again." W. D. Quinn, Marseilles, III. IOne thing is certain,? Ayer's Hair Vigor makes the hair grow. This is because it is a hair food. It feeds the hair and the hair grows, that's all there is to it. It stops falling of the hair, too, and al ways restores color to gray hair. ' tl.M ? MtU. All sranMs. Mi^.i.i? ??

Atlanta Constitution. Dog days. So many of the young people write to me about dog days thai I will answer briefly |that thoro aro no dog days. It is nothing but a super-1 stition that has come down to us'from I the ancients. The Dog star or Siriua has its time to appear in the heavens and rise and set like other stars, but it is a very irregular time and no what we call dog daya may begin the iirsl of July or many days lator. The rising of Sirius in a line with the sun begina now on the 3d of July and will con tinue until the 11th of August. Thoao forty days wero behoved by the an. cients to bring very hot and sultry weather and many malignant discntce, but this has been disproved by modern astronomy, for tho appearance of Siriu? is very uncertain and in the course of time it will rise in the winter. Now a little more about tins wonderful atar. You know that we havo eight planots that belong to our solar system. They all revolve around tho sun just as tho earth does and the nearer the planet is to the aun the faster it travels. Nep tune is 16,000,000 of miles distant and it takes 105 years to get around. But Sirius is away ontside of our solar system and is 120,000,000,000 of miles from us and gives 400 times more light than our sun. It is ihl largest and brightest star in the' heavens. It Is called the Dog star bo causo it appears to be inUhe tail of the constellation that the afceicnts named Major Canto Ol tho Big Dog. They were a smart people and wo still keep their map of the heavens and their names of the stars, but they had no telescopes and did not know that there were any stars or suns except those wo see with the nuked eye. But now youug people listen. It is now established aud proven ibat there are millions of stars aud solar systems afar off in space and that ours is tho Bmallest aud the most insignificant of them all. We are nothing and less than nothing in tho scale of existence. It has always boou a mysteiy to me why tbo Creator of the boundless uni verse, that has no limit, should have chosen this little world of ours for His greatest work, the Creation of man in His own image, a little lower than the augels, man who sinned and fell and was redeemed by the sacrifice of the Son of God. I don't understand it. 1 cannot comprehend, it. This little world is not biggor than a cannon ball compared with some of the planets and s.ars afar out in space. It has but ono little moon that does not condecoad to show us but ono side of its anatomy. The other night we weut out to Mr. Graugor's beautiful home to look at the full moon through his great tole scope that cost 85,000?and is mounted in a high observatory with a dome that rovolves as the earth revolves. It was a magnificent spectacle, but the view of Jupiter with four moons and Saturn with his rainbow ring and seven moons was much more beautiful and impres sive. Of courso those planets must be in habited, for tho Croalor would not have surrounded a dead world with such luminous and beautiful satelliloB We don't know anything hardly anu it iills mo with disgust to see young men strutting around like peacocks? acting liko thoy made thomsolves and knew pvorything and oxpected to live always, when tho truth is thoy don't know where thoy camo from nor where thoy are going and can't add an hour or a day to their existence. 1 have but little hopo for a vain or aconceitod man an a vain woman is no better. A. conct tod man ia cIobc kin to an idiot and a woman vain of her beauty should aomotimea remember that she ' had no hand m creating it for it was Clod given or inherited. "Oh! why should the spirit of mortal bo proud? ' Of all tho faults of which humanity is guilty thai of self concoit is the laat to be forgiven and tho hardeat to roform. I ruminated on this yeatordny when I reud what Hoosovult said in tri? speech at West Point. The editor who publishes it spenks of him aa our woli tncauing, but impulsive proaidont. Ho should have said our " conceited and erratic proaidont." In speaking of tho great men whom Weat Point bad graduated, he said, "1 claim to be a historian and I aponk what I know to be true that Weat Point has turuod out more great in.cn and more atatcs men thnn any otiior institution in the United States." It was solf-ccncoit and ignorance that provoked auch a monstrous absurdity, for Colonel Sprnguo, of Yule college, has recently challenged him to the proof nud has shown beyond all cavil Unit Vale can number 10 tunes the great men that West Point can number. Among them 1,888 ministers of tho gospel?78 justices of supreme courts, 17 ohiel justices,* 640 doctors,*.'!!) Governors of States and .'IS United States Senators? besides these Yale has sent forth an army of educators, established 480 col leges, 1150 fo- women and 8,000 high schools while West Point has sent out none but soldiers. Teddy ought to bo ashamed of him self, but he will not be. lie is not yet ashamed that in his so-called hiatory he called Mr. Davis an arch traitor and repudiator and lo,d what ho did when Governor of Mississippi, etc. His attention has been called to these malignant calumnies against a great statesman and whoso curriculum ut West Point tlint he ordained when secretary of-war is still in force and who never was a member of the Legis lature nor governor of Mississippi. No, ho is too conceited to tako back anything or fco apologize for his mis takes. The man he slandered was dead when he published those lies, but his widow lives and there are thousands of veterans all over the South who cherish his memory mid who now hold his slanderer in supreme contempt. Yet ho claims to bo a his torian 1 When a gentleman finds that ho has unwittingly wronged another he hastens to apologizo, but a conceited idiot rolle the morsel under his tongue and chews it as a cow chows and swal lows her cud.
