TEARS WILL COME
W31EN 'wAR VETERANS MEET EACH
OTHER AT THEIR REUNIONS. -
Arp Says Let V.gW,', For the Tears
They St fP.e Oaused by the Recalling
of7 Meworles of tile Hattleftold,
'Atlanta Constitution.]
My good, happy, genial friend,
Charley Lane, delivered a most on
joyable lecture on the analyi-s of
laughter, or "Why Do Wo Laugh."
Now, if he will analyze our tears
and tell us why do we weep, we will
the better understand another 9ie
of the mydteries of our emotional hu
manity. Why does a man weep
when there is no sorrow in his heart
-especially an old man-a veteran?
If it were not pathetic, it would be
funny to see. the tears in these old
soldiers' eyes as they mot and
marched and listened to the martial
music or sat together under the
sound of words that came from the.
lips of old men eloquont-olt-6m
rades in,arms-word thAt awakened
432dq ieni emories and quick
ened into life the hard but heroic
scenes that were living facts a third
of a century ago. How hard they
look-these old soldiers-hard in
face and feature but soft in heart. It
seems to me I can pick them out
from common people. Every wrin
kle tells of service, in suffering and
disappointment. The bronze of
their furrowed faces has never yet
been bleached and their walk is still
a true but tired march. Yes, I can
pick them out all around me. Look
at old Captian Neal and Major
Foute and McCandless and Durham
and Mounteastle. They can't hurry
now. Their quick step has gone.
They marched and counter-marched,
they advanced and retreated, they;
charged and doublo-quicked for four
long years until the spring of their
instep was-worn down to a. plane
with heel and toe and now it is a
fact that the hollow of the foot
makes a hole in the ground.
But why should an old man weep?
I remember that when Ben Hill's
statue was uncovered and the great
speeches were over and queenly
Winnio Davis was brought forward
on the platform and presented to us
as the daughters of the confederacy
by General Gordon, acalamations
rent the air and reached the heavens
and made the welkin ring. Then
everybody cried except those who
had no feeling-no emotion-no pa
triotism. Old General Black was
leaning heavily upon mv and I felt
'We'~quiver lhis massive frame. He
leaned more heavily and I turned
quickly to look into his face and
saw the tears coursing down as free
ly as if he were a boy. As I brush
ed my own away I said: "What is
the matter, General? Do you wvant
some water? Are you about to
faint ?"
"Oh,-no--no," said he, '-just let
me alone and hold me up a little.
I am feoling good. Thank God for
His mercies. I feel like old1 Nico
demus when he said, 'Now let me
(lie since I have seen thy salva-.
tion.'"
Th'Ie medical books tell us that
tears are contagious. We all know
that and have experienced it but or
dinarily our. tears conmc from our
own emotions and not from another's.
I suppose that there were probably
ton thousarnd bona fide veterans at
Nash1vilky, and( while aindor the in.
fluence the occasion, the surround
e ings, th momories of the past and
,J.lI,boughts that breathed and the
words that burned, they all shod
tears or felt like it. What a spec
tacle for northoern eyes. What a
commentary on northern intolerance.
How long will it take to eradicate
our love for the lost cause or our ad
* miration for its heroes. Like fath..
er, like son and daughter, and it is
already transmitted adown the line
fr-oml generation to generation and
in a few years mxoro these reunions
will be0 baptized with another name
and be called the sons of tihe con..
~. federate veterans. I saail probably
t here were ton thousand real bona
lide con federate veterans gathered
'nt Nashville, for it is a fact that our
vetergns arLg.Awjftly passing away.
TherjV not 100,000 now alive
n ore than one in soven of all
o servod. There might have
boon more, but unponsioned sol
diors don't livo forever; neither do
they multiply as thoyoars roll on.
"Time cuts down all
Both great and small."
Except a pensioned soldier.
No. For the peace and brother
hood of all our people it would
have boon far better for the north to
have said thirty years ago: "Now
let us be brothern. You thought
you were right and maybe you were.
You fought a good fight and shall
have your share of all this pOnsion
money." If Lincoln had lived he
would have said so and stood on
that platform.
Walter Scott says: "Woo awaits a
counti-y when she sees the tears of
bearded men," and so it would be
po tter to conciliate our people with
kindness rather than to alienate
them with abuse and unfriendly log
islation. Soo what a martyr and a
horo our people have made of Sam
Davis, the noble boy who hold his
honor dearer than his life. And
this reminds me to say that I have a
letter, a gooil letter, from H. S. Hal
bert, of Crawford, Miss., who was an
army comrade of Calvin Croizer, the
Texas soldier who was put to death
by order of Colonel Trowbridge at
Newberry, S. C., for resenting ain in
suilt given a lady by a negro soldier.
I wrote of this in a former letter and
of the monument the good people of
Newberry had erected to his mem
ory. The negro was but slightly
wounded and in the confusion in the
car another man was arrested for the
deed. When Crozier learned this ho
gave himself up and was shot at
sunrise. Mr. Halbert had never
heard of Crozier's fato until he read
it in The Constitution and he now
begs for more information concern
ing him and his sad fate. Will
some one who knows please writo to
him. He says that Crozier was a
noble man and a gallant soldier and
belonged to Goode's battery organ
ized at Dallas, Tex. Sam Davis and
Calvin Crozier were but two. We
had many more just like thom, but
they were not so tried.
But speaking of tears and war the
most touching lines over written
were by Langhorne, who died inore
than one hundred years ago:
"Cold on Canadian hill or Minden'"
plain,
That woping inot,hcr mournied bei
husband slain;
Bent o'er her' babe, her~ eye dissolved
The big drops mingling withi t.he milki
he drew.
What a sad pre.sage of his futurei'
years
The child of misery baptized in tears.
What could be more sweetly, sad
ly pitiful, No wonder that Burin
shed tears wvhen he looked at the print
that had been made of the scene. Why
has not some great artist taken the
hint and painted it to the life--the
mother seeking bor dead husband
among the slain on a battlefield and
weeping over her child as he nursed
from her breast-"the big drops
mingling wvith tihe milk lhe drew."
It is enough to make an angel weep.
It is enough to emphasize Genera]
Sherman's pit less remark that
"War is hell."
The poet 4logors said the pr-etti
est thing about a tear. lie wvanted
to find a chemist who could crystal
lizie one so that he could wear it as a
gem next to his heart for a tailmm.
Shakespeare calls the tears of an
old man "honorable dew that silvers
down thy cheeks," and another p)oet
describes man as "a p)endulum lbe
twixt a smile and a tear." So we
will let these old soldiers wool) if
they wish to. It will do them good
for they arc not tears of sorrow noi
grief. They are the welling up and
overflow of sacred memories. It is
like unto a man after years and
years of wondering going back tc
the home of his youth and groeting
his kindred and schoolmates and
communing together about the joys
and sorrows of the olden time.
These veterans all shared a common
peril and it is but natural that they
should love to get together and talki
of it. So let them meet anmd talk
and weep) if they feel like it, and
curses be upon the heartless set whc
scoff at it and say oh, let the old wam
go-we are tired of it.
AUGUSTA AND NEWBERRY
ROAD THAT BOTHi CITIES AKE
(11EATLY INTEtESTED IN.
Strong Vul Is anl That is Needed to Hulld
it-Sentiment aund Feeling Ripe For
an Organized Effort.
(Augusta Chronicle.)
Newberry, S. C., July 1.-When
the editor of the Augusta Chronicle
visited Newborry during the late
m -it ing of the South Carolina State
Pr( -* Association he captivated not
only the association, but also the
city of Newborry, by a magnificent
addrems, which he delivered as ora
tor of the occasion. Mr. Walsh's
visit and address had the happy
offect of bringing Augusta and New
berry closer together by social ties of
friendship and mutual admiration.
This binding together of the two
cities by these strong social ties is
followed by a movement to bring
them closer still by steel ties of corn
morco.
When Mr. Walsh returned to his
post of duty after his pleasant ex
porienco there lie said in the col
umns of his paper that "Newberry is
one of the best towns in South Car
alina. The people are anxious for
direct, railroad connection with Au
gusta." Two short sentences; two
long truths. Ho also said: "The
people of Augusta and Newberry
can easily build the Augusta and
Newberry railroad. Whenever they
determine the raiiroad will be built.
Augusta needs railroads that will do
volop the country that supports her."
Moro true and important statoments
briefly but strongly made.
When the railroad mass meeting
in Saluda nominated lHon. Patrick
Walsh, of Augusta, for president,
and Hon. George Johnstone, of New
berry, for vice president of this pro
posed railroad, the said meeting
nominated two mon of ability and
strength. What is in the way of the'
building of the road ?
Mr. Walsh, in the samo issue of
his paper, from which is above
quoted, also said: "Newberry has
the Southern and the Columbia,
Nowborry and. Laurens railroad,
but the good people of the commu
nity are anxiously looking for a di
rect railroad to Augusta. They are
willing to do thoir full share. The
road is graded nearly all the way
from Nowborry to Augusta, and if
there is a union of the business
sentiment of each community in
favor of completing the ontorpriso,
the railroad will ho built. If the
merchants of Augusta want the
Augusta and Newborry railroad the
progroessivo citizens of Nowho~ ry will
meet thomn half way. We hope the
Augusta and Nowborry railroad will
comnmand the support, of the mer
chants and capitalists of Augusta."
Could anything be more encourag
ingly p)ut hoeforo the people?
Mr. Wanlsh and Mr. Johnstone
stand ready to (10 their duty, the
newspapcrs are ready to do their
part andi the people "arc anxiously
looking~ form a direct railroad to Au
gusta." T1hey are even "willing to
(10 their full share." These things,
ini connection wyith the imuportant
and vanluablo fact "the road is grad1
ed nearly all the way from New
herry to Augusta," should, in the
expressed hope of Editor WValsh,
surely "'comnmand the suplport of the
merchants and capiitalists of Augus
ta.
Mr. Walsh says "if the merchants
of Augusta wvant .the Augusta and
Newborry railroad the p ogressiYe
citizena of Nowberry will meet them
half way." Let Mr. WValh continue
to spur the capitalists of Augusta
to the importance andl necessity of
this purpPosed line of railroad and Mr.
Johnstone will see to it that, in the
language of the Chronicle, Newberry,
"one of the best towns in South
Caoin, which is "anxious for
direct rail road conection wvith Au -
gusta," will do her full share.
One wvay to get the road is to keep
hammering awvay at it, and that is
why the Chiroaicle's Newborry cor
respondent wishes to reproduce the
above strong editorial utterances of
t.he cityv4 nd the ronlM chnmpion.
The way to impress the people fully
and widely is to keep the subject
matter before the public mind. Re
petition often counts and pays.
Merchants may be too busy one day
to read. That day's paper is gone.
One day they may read casually and
think no more of the matter. An
other paper gone. One may read
it tomorrow who would have missed
it iyosterday. Then follow it up
when it is a good thing. There
foro lot me repeat, that if "Augusta
neods railroads'that will develop the
country that Lupports her," and the
people of Newberry, ("one of the
best towns in South Carolina") are
"anxious for direct railroad connect
tion with Augusta." why in the
world cannot ;t be built? "Tho poo
plo of Aligusta and Newberry
can easily build the Augusta
and Newborry railroad." Yes,
"when over they determine thi
railroad will be built." So why
cannot there spoedily be "a
union of the business sentiment of
each community in favor of complet
ing the entorprizo?"-tho railroad,
mind you, which is already "graded
nearly all the way from Newberry
to Augusta." it. Hf. G.

Blackberries are getting ripe, the
Irought is broken, and the prospects
or a good crop were never bottor.
Everybody in Georgia should ro
oice, and we rejoice with them. The
iolds are the clearest of grass that I
>vor saw them, one of the blessings
>f a dry spring. The long drought
vas just at the right time, and the
armors profited by it in a degree
ieldom soon before. The only com
>laint to be heard is that crops are
amall-cotton is very small and corn
a nothing to brag on. The ont crop
vas not encouraging, but wheat is
dl right and thvre was a lot moro
)lanted than we had thought. Near
y all the farmers will make wheat
nough to do them. There may not.
o much profit in raising whoat when
lour can be bought so cheap, but it
nakes us, fool good to look at the
ihocks in the field and hoar the
,hroshers humming around in the sot
,lements-4t home whore onough of
worything to live upon is raised has
mn air of cheerfulness that is never
1eon among those who go to the West
or their supplies in meat and bread.
It does me good to watch the
roung people. It is just the happi
mst time of all for them, for they live
i happy anticipatinn of the good
ime that is just ahead, and Brown
ays that there is more pleasure in
'pursuit than in possossion." One

Fine homo-raised hams will bo

3hickens are already sot aside for the

ng up their horses and the girls are
getting their pretty ribbons and
3ashos, and such a timo as they will
bavo will never be known under the
fad of bicycles, sweaters and bloom
irs. We don't exactly know what
swentors and bloomers are, bit we
Ban imagine that a girl pedaling a
bicyclo on a hot July day would be
far from a starched up picnickor if
thoro was not something to protect
against her dampness. Bicycles may
give a girl an independence, and
they may be as fully in the bounds
of proprioty as the horsos, but the
ridlers will never look as swooet and
cool as tie p)rotty girls (of thre coun
try who congregate in the shades of
the trees around the old churches
through the big meeting time that is
just a short time ahead.
Nor (10 the old people1 of the coun

of country blessings. The old mani

all cleared from his brow as he hears

rind to such an extent hans this be
comoi alpparenIt that we rmight wvell
risk, what is t.o become of the 01(1
p)0o1)1 of the towns?
There are marny things to be sooen
in a city that makes this (question
pertinent, arid it involves the old1
wvomarn as well as the 01ld man. All
the world in read1y to give out sym
p)athiy to those who are strong and(

be sad for thre 01(d to contempnhlato
such cond(itions, but you may as well
undarr.nnd that trare s notMm. in
the hurly-burly of the towns that
fools itself called upon to Waste time
in considering your conditions.
Me and Brown passed a poor wo
man on the road that we used to
know, and we know that she should
be receiving a pension sufficient to
keep her up for tho good she has V
done in hor humble and patient life.
She was loado1 down with garmonts
that she had just finished to the or
der of one of Atlanta's morchants,
and we could so that she staggorod
under the load and the heat.
"Mighty hot," said I, as we drove v
up along sido of her.
"Yes," she said, as she changed
her load from one hip to the other,
"mighty hot, mighty hot."
Wo remombored this woman as i
one wo used to know. Sho is the f
widow of as bravo a soldier as passed
through the war, and she told us
many things we had never dreamed
of as to what the sowing wonio of !
the towns have to go through. First,
thoy must go to tho stores and bog
for tho work and then lug it. to their
homos. The load must necessarily
be a large one, when wo think that 0
they got about 30 cents a dozon for t,
making pants and live too far away c
to visit the etoro ofton. When they
have finished the work they nmst,
lug it back. Then comes an inspec
tion of thoir work. They hardly got
enough to pay thei for the lugging
of the goods to and froi their 9
homes; but thoro would never bo a
complaint for this. Some of those
merchant.s are harder upon t iose a
womo than the woather or the wor
ry or the lugging. The "inspectors"
are the dread. If 1,hl stitches awo a
little long when the "inspector"
views it thoso womon are "docked." V
If the buttons are not sowed just as
thseo "inspectors" think thoy should a
be, there is another "dock." Ofton,
I am told, those "inspoct.ors" catch ia
garment and rip it from end to eud i
with one ernel swool. So it is, with r
the small price paid for tho work r
and then those "dockings," thoso
poor women are noarly st arved, and
they daro not mutter or grumblo.
Night and day those women of the
towns have to work. Thoro is no
eight hours, nor ten hours, nor from
sun to sun wit,h thenm. It, is work,
work, work! While tihe sun shinos
they work, and when tho sun is down
they must light their lamps. If they
wore to compllain thoy would be
dropped by the merchant and would
got no rioro work at any prico. At.
last the "poor house" is all that t.hes
poo womnen canl expet., and there
are a plenty of just such ciasos in ev
cry city of the land. No such 1pov-t
erty andi hardships, and1( no suclh ab)

'hto catnpaign ineting bere today
,as in startling contrast to that at

irgely froo from personalities. Only
bout a hundred people were pres
[it.
Colonel Irby had the opening. He
aid he was unwell, but he made a
ory good spoech, devoid of person
lities and devoted principally to his
3cord as a reformer and his sympa
iy for the common people and what
o had done for them in the consti
itionil convention and in the re
>rm faction.
Ite said he had no confidence or
rust, in politicians and they should
o frequently weighed. He said
int any man who was chaperoned
y Editor Gonzales was to be
'atlchod by reformers.
Senator McLaurin said he was
olighted with tie temper and style
f Irby's speech and hoped that the
vo would koe up the plane of the
tipaign shown in to day's meeting.
Leaurin said when the reform
iovotioent needed help he fought for
but this is a day of progress and
10 best men can be elected. He
'as still a reformer and never apolo
ized for any position lie ever took.
[e sid he never consulted with or
indo any trade with Gonzales or
ny one else. lie said his tariff views
ore entirely now and he never con
alted with Tillman who now con
urred with him.
