The Franklin Press and The Highlands Maconian PvbkiUd Evtry Thurify by TU Franklin Press At Franklin, North Carolina T iltpkom No. 24 Vol. LVIIl Number 3 Mrs J. W C. Johnson and W. S. Johnson Publishers Entered at the Post Office, Franklin, N. C\, as 2nd cLass matter We are glad to reprint- the fol lowing article from an issue of The Franklin Press back in May, 1913, at the request of Fred Roy Jcnes, a grandson of Dr. McLoud, Macon county citizen and veteran who delivered the address. Since January 19 is the birth day of General Robert E. Lee, it is fitting that an article bearing on Confederate War history be recalled at this time by the many readers interested. Dr. McCloud'* Response To The Old Soldiers At The Final Dedication Of The Rankin Spuare Monu ment, May 20th, 1903, Surrounded as we are here today by a small portion of that number went out under that flag, then of old Confederate Soldiers, who went up without dishonor and went down without disgrace, all the rest of whom were left on every battle field from the sandy banks of Vicksburg to the blood painted hills of Atlanta, and from the Tip pling waves of the Rappahannock to the blue waters of the Dapidan, yea from Sumpter to Bethel and from Bethel to Appomatox. Yes, today my friend, some of our dear fathers and brothers sleep in every known cemetery from the heights of Gettysburg to the ill fated wall of Fort Donaldson, while others now rest within the hideous confines of every known Federal prison. From the dismal serfs of Rock Island to the ice cfld swamps of camp Douglas. Yes, sleep on ye blessed and sainted dead, Dear as the blood you gave, Nor shall unhallowed footsteps tread The soil above your grave. Nor shall your glory be forgot While fame her record keeps, Or honor marks the sacred spot Where valor proudly bleeps. Yes, my friend, rather than have it said that the rising generation would not donate cheerfully and liberally to the care and protection of our old Confederate Soldiers, I had rather snatch from the Star Spangled Banner the Star that represents the old North State and leave the Stripes to point in dis grace to a hole in that banner that represents the State, whose people would not donate both cheerfully and liberally to the care and sup port of their old time honored bat tled scared war, worn and fast re ceding old soldiers, and now in conclusion let me say as 1 now look down the line on the wither NOTICE OF SALE North Carolina Mason County Under and by virtue of the Power of Sale vested in the un dersigned Trustee, by a D?ed of Trust executed and delivered by William Arthur Matthews and wife, Beverly Cone Matthews, to the said TVust/ee, dated 16 May, ?1941, and recorded in the office of the Register of Deeds for Macon County, North Carolina, in Book of Mortgages and Deeds of Trust No. 37, at page 416, the undersigned Trustee will at 12:00 o'clock Noon, on Monday, Febru ary 8, 1943, at the Courthouse door in Franklin, North Carolina, offer for sale, and sell, to the highest bidder for cash, the fol lowing described real estate: Certain property situate in Highlands Township, Macon County, North Carolina, and described as fo lows : BEGIN NING at an 8" white pine, go .

Stock toa| Attorney .1 Jt4-4te-74 ing rank of our old soldiers, arid sec their heads all white with that snow that never melts. 1 am for ciably and unmistakably reminded, that we are all soon to pass within that shadow, that all men learn to dread, and now sleep on brother, and may o'er your green graves bright Jaurels wave so long as we have a Vestige of a country, well remembering that the name and fame of the old Confederate Sol dier will live in the annais of time. So long as our blue mountains sliall continue to raise their heads and bathe^ their faces in the sky. Yes, they will live on and on until the wild screaming eagle in his circling flight around their hoary peaks, shall have flapped his ominous wings o'er unnumbered centuries of vanquished glory, and when in the course of human events our time has come, for certainly boys our train is soon coming, the rem I bling of the wheels can almost be heard in the distance, the train is almost in sight, and soon she will slow up at our several depots and we will go aboard whether we are ready to ride or not, and we will take our last ride into that far away unexplored and unknown country from whence ,none ,of the boys have ever returned to tell us whats the matter and now let me ask that -when these warm hands of ours shall have become pulse less and cold as the grave wherein they must lie, and death shall in vade our couch and demand our shrouds and We have lost all kind friends and rejoicing companions a<nd the winding sheets shall be our sole vesture, and the neglected grave yard our only home, and nothing save the uncouth worms that are to destry us shall inhabit our tombs. Oh, then, cold hand of death unlock for us the portals of eternal life, that while our bodies rest in their beds of clay that our souls may still recine in the glorious bosom of their God.

ES, Bill has been guarding that crossing for a good many years now . . . and never before has he seen the likes of the transportation job the Southern Railway is doing today. You see, when America declared war, the men and women of the Southern knew that they would be up against the biggest, most important job they had ever tackled. They know now that millions of fighting men are counting on them to keep enormous quantities of war goods rolling. They know now that Uncle Sam is depending on them to move troops by the millions.. .swiftly, safely, at a moment's notice. They know now that gas-and - tire- rationed civil ians are looking to them to handle essential civilian travel and the transportation of civilian necessities. It's a big, tough job... chock -full of headaches and heartaches. But the Southern's men and women <ir? getting it donel That's why full-packed trains are rumbling by Bill's post at the crossing in an endless procession . . . carrying freight and passengers in a volume that amazes even railroaders. What's more, the trains that are het?/y with war traffic today will keep on rolling after Victory is won. For then the Southern Railway will be serving a new and a greater South... a busy, prosperous Southland. And Bill will still be saying, " I never SQjy the likes of it!"
