Monument To Confederate Dead.
More talk about the Ccnfeder
; ate monument. Talk about pro
! gress. You go all over the South
! and you will see monuments to
the old Confederates in parks* in
court house yards-^large mag
nificent ones—to show the South
honors her Confederate dead.
I You never see a town, a large
one, with no Confederate monu
I
ment, and even our neighboring
county has one at Batesville, and
j at Little Rock the monument to
the women of 1861 to 1865 which
is proper and right. You have
your school orations on Lee’s
j birthday, and all speak of our
j great general- Who made Lee
such an name, such a hero in
[military life? Who made Gen
j eral Joseph E. Johnson or Albert
I Sidney Johnson, or Bragg, or
j Hardee, or Cleburne, the great
jest major general in the West
j ern army, who led the fight at
| Murfreesboro, on the left, and
drove the enemy five miles, who
led the men into action, wading
Chicamauga creek and at a
double quick and fought like a
hero for two days, where there
were 40,000 killed and wounded
in two days, who drove the ex
treme right at Missionary Ridge.
We fought four columns ; who
assisted him ? Look at the mark
ers there today; they will show

tions Company G, First Arkan
sas Regiment When before the
assault he told his men they
were to save Bragg’s army. Who
did this work? Arkansas, boys,
old Jacksonport. Boys, Jackson
county wras in the line ready to
do or die and read his history
from Dalton to Atlanta. And in
this campaign did his men ever
flicker? No, Arkansas’ troops
stayed to the last and why did
Johnson put him in such peril
ous places? He knew his men
land Cleburne knew his men.
Read his history and you will
see he says who made his com
mand so invincible. So men
make generals. ..
And at Franklin, said to be
one of the bloodiest in 500 years,
I for the men engaged and for the
■ time engaged. It was an awful
I battle, and when he was order
| ed to take the impregnable
| breastworks, hear his last words j
; to his men, who alyaws stayed i
straight to the front and front
line. He loved his men; they 1
loved him and did what he or
dered. He says, “Men, we are i
ordered to take these breast |
works- It is against my judg
ment. blit we will trv PVvrwo wl t
March!” Company G was in
this line and they followed their i
leaders and red spots of blood
gathered where he fell.
I was over this old battle,
ground last year. I had never
been over it since the awful bat
tle, forty years ago. I hired a j
rig and went over it and the !
memory of the comrades who I
I
fell left me sore at heart..
I went to Franklin and notic- j
ed lots of old , Confederates in ;
town I went to a crowd of them
and said, “What are so many of;
you old guys doing here?”
They looked at my badge, and
caught me by the hands and!
said, “Why, this is Decoration
Day. Come and go out with us.”
I said, “All right.’/
So we went and I walked all.
over the cemetery. I saw thou-1
sands of small headstones. Some j
marked “unknown”, some mark- i
ed, “Arkansas”, “Texas”, “Ala
bama”. “Georgia”. And looking j;
over these graves of unknown j
dead, thought, “Here lies some,
of my old comrades and no |
name.” ,
There were the brave heroes j i
who fought that awful battle, i i
and the loving people had moved i
them to the new cemetery and 1
marked their graves. But that i
lovely citizenship came out on
that day—a train one and a hah
miles long with the Sunday
school children, women and men,
professional m en, teachers,
preachers and vehicles, car
riages, buggies, autos, with wa
gon loads of flowers on them,
and marched to the graves. The
men, women and children cover
ed the graves with the flowers.
Here was lovely woman laying
flowers over our dead and per
haps they had died away from
home—mother not there to
smooth their brows, kiss their
dying lips or pray for them, but
these other women did all for
them they could and the Daugh
ters of the Confederacy—noble
women! May God bless them—
to keep in memory such brave
heroes of the past. And then
I thought of our schools taking
General Lee’s Days and young
people make speeches about
such characters and here we
are with not a mark or mon
ument of our own dead Confed
erates, when if you will gg over
these places you will think of
the sons and brothers you fur
nished who did just as much as
Generals Lee, Johnson, Bragg or
Cleburne—they sacrificed more.
So now my dear citizens, let’s
build a monument to honor our
dead, wrho are resting in un
marked graves, so when other
towns are remembering their
dead we can also lay flowers on
our own monument.
JNow i wrote a dook (not my
book, but a history of Jackson
county boys, one hundred and
fifty strong) telling of your own
brave men, and the Daughters
of the Confederacy of our own
towns are having 300 printed to
sell at One Dollar each, the pro
fits to go to the building of this
monument, so please buy one
from them and you will read a
true history of a private—what
he saw, what he thought and
what he did- You read maga
zines and stories in newspapers,
but here is a history of one com
pany from old Jackson County,
and by one of your own people.
Mr. Henderson loaned one to
an old Confederate in Tennessee
who wras in the same campaign
from Dalton to Atlanta, and he
told Henderson to hug that old
man when he got back home for
he had certainly told the truth.
I got a letter from a Yankee in
New Mexico who was on the
Dalton route. He wrote me he
wanted to buy one and said he
enjoyed it, as it contained the
truth. T get nothing out of the
book but I want my young peo
ple to inform themselves about
their own history. We will be!
around next week and do hope|
you will all subscribe liberally.

Special to Independent.
Little Rock, May 1.—The pa
tronage given the Little Rock
Music Festival last week assures
for Arkansas an annual week of
music second to none. Although
he promoters of the enterprise
were forced to guarantee about
£5,000 to artists who were to ap
sear on th^ program, the at

leat sum remains in the treas
iry to start a greater festival
'or next year.
The festival of 1913 was a
lightmare. A deficit was creat
?d "which was finally cared for
)y public spirited citizens, and
the same citizens came forward
to make up the guarantee for
this year. Their faith in the

music lovers of Arkansas has
been verified, and they are now
willing to stake even more for
the 1915 festival. Instead of
| only one star, as in the past two
j festivals, the promoters expect
next year to have one of the
greatest of singers for each per
formance, and to make the fes
tival a state wide proposition.
Many choral societies were rep
resented at the 1914 festival, but
many more are expected for the
