John- ston, Bragg, Forrest, Wheeler, Kirby smith, Price and Shelby in the most wonderful of all modern wars.” Declaring that the veterans have a history “that speaks now and that will speak for all ages to come O patriotism and heroism,” General Young recalled some of the notable battles of the war between the States, dwelling briefly on incidents of each. He also paid nigh tribute to the women of the South and to each Southern State which was included in the Confederacy. “The name of the Confederacy,’ General Young added, “and of the Cenfodearte soldier, can never die. The Confederate nation lived only four years. It made more history in those four years than any other na- tion that ever existed so brief a while. Time, pitiless time, has fear- fully thinned the ranks of the men who fought under the Confederate standard. The death roll is ever enlarging, the demands of the grave are calling one in eight, every year. A remnant still is here, and that remnant still feels the holiest pride and boundless joy in the renown that crowns the Confederate name. “It is ours in all its splendor and grandeur; no hand can rob us of our birthright. There are no recruits to take the place of departing comrades. They are going, going, going, and ini a little while will all be gone, but in life, in battle and in death, we still stand for the Confederate sol- diery around whose memory a just and impartial fate has woven an un- fading wreath of golry.” | A LOOK AHEAD. —e | Suppose you knew you were going ‘Itc die next week! { Suppose you had inadvertently | gwallowed a bichloride of mercury !wblet. and a physician had been| lsummoned and told you solemnly that you could live no longer than | next Thursday!

Lake- land is rather fortunate in this re-’ spect, her streets being ornamented with many beautiful shade trees. There are not too many, however, and there are many spots which could be greatly improved by the addition!} of one or more trees. Especially in some of the newer parts of the city tree planting on the part of all resi- dente should be encouraged. i Anent the talk of more parks, Lake- land already has the setting and the chief charm of some of the most beautiful parks that could be con- ceived. Just think what beauty gpots the shores of Lake Morton or Lake Mirror can be converted into' Not only would the parks thus creat- ed be a thing of beauty and a joy fcrever to our own people but tour- fsts and travelers from afar would eome to linzer amid such scenes. Na- ture has given us lakes far superior to those which have been artificially provided in other parts of the coun- try by the expenditure of large for- tunes. We believe these great nat- ural assets will not be much longer neglected by our citizens. Qneiniins Theodore Roosevelt is suing the editor of a newspaper up in Ishpem- {ng, Mich., for $10,000 damages be- cause it was published in the news- paper that Roosevelt “lies and curses in a disgusting way and gets drunk, tco, not infrequently.” There are probably a hundred newspapers in the country that have printed worse Lings than this about Teddy, and it s rather remarkable that he should have selected this comparatively ob- scure publicotion upon which to wreak his venceance. The attitude ef the news»aner indicates that Mr. Roosevelt may fnd himeelf in the at- titude of the cor Jidite who was com- plaining bitterly that his enemies Lad accused him of stealing a sheep. When his friends sought to console bim by expressing their disbelief of| the charge, he objected, “Yes, but dorn ’em, they're proving it on me.” The case is now on trial at Mar- quette, and is attracting considerable gttention, | eriticism. These thoughts are suggested by | the experience of the Macon banker, B, Sanders Walker, who may even at this writing be dead, because he was { unfortunate enough to misktake a bi- chloride of mercury tablet for some- | thing desirable to take, Strange thing it is, how consider- ate we become for people whose span of life is definitely measured—even having commiseration for criminals condemned to death-——overlooking the fact that the span of all lives is fixed to end at some definite point ahead. You pity, and you are kind, to the; man near you doomed to die within a week; but you mayhap are unkind to another individual near you who may die before the sun goes down. We imagine that something would be gained for life if we would now {and then stop to consider that down the road somewhere there is a stop- ping place for us, rome day fixed in the calendar of our lives when we vill lie down to die to consider that each day and each hour of each day brings us nearer to that definite point. It scems that the days would have more value, and the sunrise anad the sun set more sweetness, if we realized more fully that soon we ghall know them no more.—Orland) Reporter-Star. A PASSING GENERATION. The anti-bellum generation of the negro is passing away, and when now and then we hear of the death of one of the old-time darkies, genuine sor- row is felt. The before-the-war ne- gro was a distinct type differing in many ways from the present genera- !tion. He knew and understood the | 0ld South and the Old South knew and understood him. But even in the old-time all were not alike. There were good and bad among the lot, just as there are today. House ser- vants and those who stood closest ! {o the master and his family, were, as a rule, wholly dependable and trustworthy. Bonds of strong at-| tachment were formed between them | and their “white folks,” and amor the few surviving ones on each ifl‘.OEO attachments still exist, show- !ing no loss of ardor. “Marse T is still Marse Tom, and “Ole Mis | etinl Ole Miss. “Uncle Billy” is stiil |L'nclc Billy, and “Aunt Jane” is still Aunt Jane with the old-time Souta- ern negro and the old-time Southern EVENING TELEGRAM, LAKELAND, FLA, MAY 27, 1913. Ty L o PINTES o) | i | | | Washington, May 27.—It was stat- ed at the postoflice department re- cently that Postmaster General Burl- cson, upon receipt of the nmews that » Florida had been redistricted, and d that Representative L'kngle was -, Y ] resident of what will be the Fourt congressional district, will allow M L’Engle to recommend postmaste. for that district. * When asked r ) garding the matter Mr. L’Engle ac mitted that he had been exterded tkL invitation by Mr. Burleson to com to the department to discuss the mai ter, but said he would take no par ia naming postmasters whatsoever. “lI do not intend now, or in th near future,” sail Mr. L’Engle, “t recommend postmasters for thc Fourth district. By the constitutiow 1 was elected a congressman at large and not for the Fourth district. Be- sides that I have other reasons. | have already named two postmaster: for Florida, and in both instances the scnators have overruled my recom- mendations and namel men of their own choice. Postmasters are purely senatorial patronage, by the consti- tution. While the congressmen in almost all cases name postmasters for their districts, this is only per- mitted by the courtesy of the sen- ators. If a Congressman names u postmaster and he is not favored oy the senator he does not gain ap- pointment, so what is the use of naming them when I am not sure my recommendations will be fo!- lowed. 1 don't represent the Fourth district any more than 1 represent the First, and I will not take a hand in naming postmasters until [ am siure of my ground.” | S.

Both these young men have been nominated by Senator Bryan before and both by a’ peculiar coincidence failed to make the necessary mark in mathematics. Their marks in other studies, how- ever, were 8o good that the examin- ing board recommended to Senator Bryan that they both be permitted to tuke the entrance examination again next June. | | ARCHER The Florida Cotton Oil Co., of Jacksonville, have filed complaint with the interstate commerce com- mission against alleged unreasonable and discriminatory rates charged by the Atlantic Coast Line, Charleston and Western Carolina railroad, anfd other companies, on shipments of cottonseed oil, cottonseed meal, and similar prducts, by-products and cot- tonseed from South Carolina points|sideboards and refrigerators, library to Jacksonville, previous to July 10, ; 1912, and asked reparation of table, baby cabs, beds and walkers; $845.54. good iron beds $2, $2.50 and $3; s R — |springs, $1.25, $1.5h and $2.
