Monument The Honor Roll Read and
, Crosses of Honor Bestowed.
The exercises on last Saturday
in honor of th'e Confederate dead
were appropriate and creditable
The programme was executed
with pleasing solomnity It was
an unusually fine procession "bf
Daughters and Children and a
goodly number of veterans in jne
Eindthe court room was packed!
Rev" W 9 Hiller mad e an es
pecially impressive prayer at
the opening.
MissGertrudeCaldwell .sang

complied by the Concord band
$nd lustily joined in with in ihe
chorus by the audience. .
Rev. G H Cornelson, after
some preliminary remarks show
ing his appreciation of the honor
and the responsibility involved
in accepting the invitation to
make the address entered upon
a eulogy of President Jefferson
Davis as the representative of
the cause in whose defense they
died to whom we meet to pay
this tribute.
He admitted that his "subject
had made some mistakes as other
men but that he was the repre
sentative of States' rights more
than any other. He had this.
principle iubred in him and de
fended lUas a soldierascholar,
a statesman. He was peerless in
m his defense of jthil principle.
It.waSf woven into the very
fibres of his soul and he toever
aljowed it to fade from his mind
He thought Jefferson Davis f-
not fully understood as an un
selfish patriot and a great leader.'
He feplor'ed .the fact. that there
4e traducersof the chosen head.
He urged boys i their school
declamations to commit to mem
ory and speak Jefferson Davis'
farewety address to to the United
States Senate:' ' It is a model of
-pure and expressive language
and is the words of a man sincere
in all that he said and did. He
was a patriot of the truest dye.
The speaker rehearsed the
great , .sufferings of Jefferson
Davis when the Confederate, arms
were laid down indefeat. Ashe
had been the highest representa
tive jf J-he principles fought for
he was made the 'subject of pun
ishment for all. .
The ; speaker refrained: from
the mention of names of such' as
were chi'elly responsible .for, his
torture. The iron shackles and
the double sentries over him
wore a constant torture 'ard it
was by the vigorous protest of
his physician that the irons were
removed.
The people made him presi-1
dent but no tongue can tell the
amount of suffering he alone en
dured as a consequence.
Being a lawyer and a states
man he knew his rights and plead
for a trial but was refused from
no other cause than that he was
innocent of crime, yet the subject
of hate and the victim of punish
ment for the whole South.
The speaker told of the noble
-vyprk of the women of the South
in their one united, strong and
determined effort to rear a mon
ument in 1903 to the memory of
A
this great nan and thecause he
... .
represented and for which they
died whom the exercises bf the
day were to honor. '
He plead for liberal aid to be
Extended to this nQble, unselfish
and patriotic effort. He quoted ;
from the hero while living these
words, "God bless the women of
the South. They have not shot
an arrow akme."
Mr.H M Caldwell read the
honor roll, including some 300
men of. Cabarrus that yielded
their lives in the sgrvcie.. The
list, he says, is yet iccomplete
but he is getting nearer and
nearer to the perfect record.
.Jt Barrier then, according to
instructions, called the names of
44 veterans to receive crosses of
honor. Twenty-five of the num -
ber failed to answer to their
names and the sweet little girls,
Children of the Confederacy,
were deprived of the pleasure of
pinning them on.J
Rev. WH McNairy pronounced
the benediction and all repairod
to the soldiers' monumentr and
deposited a profusion of flowers
as a loving tribute to the dead
Hncj, all dispersed with a glad but I
solemn. sensation that they had
discharged the ' annual duty bf
keeping' fesh and green .the
memories of those who .suffered

and died in the aause-so dear to
evei'v Southern heart.

the thanks of a grateful public.
