P-J-2 e S - , EL' CUEROI IQHRISON HIKES ADDRESS Charlotte Man Delivered Magnificent Oration Graves of Dead Veterans Decorated With Flowers by Hun dreds of School Children Snmp tnons Dinner Served jOeleforatlon One of Best Ever Held Here. It was the general opinion that the memorial exercises this year sur passed any other similar service in jecent years. From 10:30 to 11:30, the Loray Band played both at tne Confederate monument and in the gallery of the court room. The ex ercises were delayed for some time because the high school was late tn getting there to sing "The Recession al.'.' Mrs. J. F. Thomson was chair man. Prof. J. S. Wray spoke the in vocation. The roll call of the old veterans was called by 'Squire W. Meek Adams. Out of 204 names, about 50 answered present. The solo and double quartet "Tenting on the Old .Campground." by Mr. Stapleton, Miss Frew, Miss Jordan, Mrs. Morrow, Mrs. Holland, Dr. Anderson and Mr. Padgett, was sung in a very soft and pathetic man ner. After this song Mrs. T. W. Wil son spoke as she presented a hand some picture of Stonewall Jackson given by the U. D. C. as a gift to the Gaston ia Central schools. Misses Rachel Henderlite and Josephine Moore unveiled it while the address of acceptance was delivered in an ap propriate manner by Miss Rebekah McLean who spoke in behalf of tne school. A beautiful trio was sung by Mrs. H. B. Moore, Miss Jane Mor ris and Mrs. J. M. Holland. Next, Mr) A. E Woltz, of the local bar, in troduced the speaker of the day, Hon. Cameron Morrison, of the Charlotte bar. He needed practical ly no Introduction as be is a well known and brilliant lawyer and statesman. He made such a lasting impression last January while speak ing before the old soldiers that he was at once recognized as a historian, a deep scholar and a powerful politi cal orator. When Mr. Morrison took the floor he said that it ought to be against the law for any one to introduce him so generously and that he "hoped the lrd would have mercy on him for It. He had no stated subject but bis oration may well be called 'The Present Duty of the Government in the Development of Our People." In his speech he defended "State RightB," constitutional government, and industrial preparedness. He discussed the patriotic valor of our ancestors from the days of the Revo lution on down to the present time. He proved that Southern men such as Richard Henry Lee, George Washing ton, Jefferson and Madison, of Vir ginia, looked at the failure of the monarchical form of government in Europe, and therefore set about to establish a great democracy of con federated states the mightiest task ever undertaken by man "the like of which has never been found in the past." What form of government, said Mr. Morrison, "did they adopt?" A confederated and constitutional re public. It never will have any power except that which the Constitution permits it to have. Do you know that It never was nor never has been given powers outside of our foreign relations and the regulations of commerce? All power was vested in the States which put checks and re- Btrictions on the democracy so tha it was saved from a ruthless (rue' majority. We created a government in which justice and liberty would prevail in spite of wrongs. It is the greatest form ,and fabric that man has ever lived' under on eHrth. not for itself alone, but that justice, lib erty, and equality should rule anu that we never placed absolute power anywhere else, and that it seems that this notion was directed t i.ou Himself." ' In substance Mr. Morrison said that up had at that time slavery. If it was a crime for the Southern States to own them, it was a crime for Massachusetts or any other northern State that bought or sold them. The Constitution had not a word of authority to blot out slavery. He denied that we were "everlasting ly and eternally wrong." The Lnit- ed States government had no more right to do away with our slave prop erty than Germany had. But soon there was a great debate, a great cam Dal n slogan that the Constltu tion was "a covenant with death and a leaarue with hell." Soon thirteen States nassed laws refusing to en force the Fugitive Slave Law. Then they elected a President who stood on the platform that the country could not live half slave and nan free: that it was an irrepressible ran fllct. The South seceded. It hat nd to submit to the usurpation of her rights by the government of the rnited States. Mr. Morrison went on to sav: "I hope that the young men of the South will never submit to any cow ardly compromise that their aneea tors were hot-headed traitors or reb els. 1 believe that the action of our fathers was right, and that nothing was more necessary to keep this fab ric of government pur. So we were nn more sinners than any other State or nation. Even Northern leaders conceded that the South had a right to secere, and that all power is re served to the States, or nnaiiy set tled in the court of war; and that this government baa settled all her great domestic difficulties except the negro aneation. So we nave chance to work out our own salvs OBSERV raw. m tion. We also have sense enough to know that kings and emperors and men of such type, are an abomina tion to God. I believe we have the ultimate truth here. The battles of the Confederacy were not fought tn vain. The intellectual . South must see to it that our fame is fixed in history, and that you veterans were absolutely fighting for an usurpation of power." Then Mr. Morrison concluded his eloquent appeal in discussing "The Duty of the Hour." He said our gov ernment now has the support of ev ery patriotic citizen, and that we feel the Injustice of any slur on our form of government. He proved that the destinies of this ntlon have practi cally been shaped by men who were born in the South. He said the fath ers of this Republic were of South ern birth, and that in the War of 1812, a Southern man. Gen. Jackson, won the Battle of New Orleans. And in the Mexican War of 1846-4 8, Southern men like Zachary Taylor, Jefferson Davis and Stonewall Jack son won the most decisive battles. He said that during our late war with Spain while the Yankee gener al Shafter had to be fanned to keep from melting, "Fighting Joe Wheel er and other "Dixie" boys won un dying fame and victorious battles, as Lee and Jackson did during the Civil War. "In conclusion, let it be known that America is devoted to peace, yet let it be remembered that our noble sons will die for the United States. Finally, let all America say, in the language of the Prince of Peace. 'Peace on earth, good will to men.' " As Mr. Morrison sat down little Miss Sara Frances Brockman. daugh ter of Mrs. T. M. Brockman. wbo wrote, "A memorial song' to the tune of Nearer My God to Thee, presented the speaker a most fragrant bouquet of American beauty roses. With the song Dixie sung and tne bestowal of Crosses of Honor by Mrs. H. M. Eddleman and a memorial song at the monument, the line of march to Oakwood cemetery was as follows: Knights of Pythias Drum Corps, speaker, ministers. Confeder ate veterans, Ioray Band, Children of the Confederacy, graded school children and Daughters of the Con federacy followed by the public. At Oakwood cemetery a song, "The Christiana' Goodnight." was sung, then a prayer by Rev. W. J. Roach; music by the Loray Band; decoration of graves by J. D. Moore Chapter children of the Confederacy and school children and the benediction by Rev. G. A. Sparrow. Then all marched to the R. M. Johnston build ing on West Main avenue where a splendid dinner was served especial ly for the veterans and those on the progra m. The following resolutions were proposed by Rev. G. A. Sparrow and unanimously adopted: "Resolved, That the William Gamble Camp of United Confederate Veterans and the Confederate veterans of Gaston eoanty take this occasion to give pub lic expression to their sincere and heartfelt thanks to the I'nited Daughters of the Confederacy and to the citizens of Gastonia In general for their splendid hospitality and kindness on this and many similar occasions of the past. They wish also to put upon record their appreciation of all that the Chapter of the Daughters of the Con federacy have done in common with the other women of the South in preserving the glorious traditions of the South and for annually placing upon the graves of those who fell in that struggle and those who have died since their tribute of flowers and laurel wreaths." The Gazette feels that this account of the memorial will be incomplete unless it mentions some things a little more in detil. We have refer- ence to the magnificent dress parade' and drum corps of the Knights of I'ythians. They were dressed in new uniforms of surge with maroon blouses, white trousers, white capes of fine red satin. With Major Mor row's and Mr. Robert Simpson s in structions who is from harlotte. they have been able to train undrill ed men on short notice since the in struments arrived, a fact which is due to the constant work of the boys. All the members ol tne corps were members of the Gastonia lodge. The men had the honor of escorting the confederate veterans to and from the cemetery and received not a few com pliments for their fine training ana superb marching and wonaenui Dlaving. it was a aimcuit exmoiuou of fancy drilling which they gave to the satisfaction or all. uastoma win perhaps get an opportunity to see them escort President w nion through the streets of Charlotte tne 20th of May. They may go to Waynesvllle in June and possibly to other places. uastoma anouia ieei proud of such a splendid lodge. Mr. H, A. Terrell. Jr., of Gaines ville, Ga.. is expected to arrive in th dtv Sunday on a visit to his brother, Mr. L. E. Terrell. WHAT CATARRH IS It has been said that every third person has catarrh in some form. Science has shown that nasal catarrh often indicates a general weakness of the body; and local treatments in the form of snuffs and vapors do little, if any good.. To correct catarrh you should treat its cause by enriching your blood with the oil-iood in Scott's Emulsion which is a medicinal food and a buildi n g-tonic, free fromakobol or any harmful drugs.

"The Lord Calling Moses to Ser vice" was the subject of Mr. Brown ing's sermon at the tabernacle last night and he was heard with intense interest by a large congregation. The speaker took as his. text the tenth verse of the third chapter of Exodus, "Come now. therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh that thou mayest bring f&rth my people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt". After giving a brief synopsis of the life of the Israelites in Egypt and of Moses' eighty years of train ing In the court of Pharaoh and in the wilderness, he discussed at length the call of Moses under four heads He said God gave Moses a wonderful mind and a wonderful chance to train that mind amid all the prince ly lore of Egypt. He said God was looking for a man to free Hia people from Egyptian bondage and that Moses was the only man capable of doing it. Yet Moses was reluctant to undertake the task put upon him and made all manner of excuses. Therefore the Almighty had to set an old thorn bush on fire to make Moses listen to Him. Said Mr. Browning, "When a man comes up close to God he has to shed some thing. Moses took off his shoes. He said he did not know what some of the congregation would have to shed but it would be some thing. By some very striking In stances, some In his own life, the evangelist impressed very strongly upon his hearers the great impor tance of heeding the call that conies to us from God to do something for Him and His cause. At the close of the sermon Mr. Stapleton and Mrs. H. Rutler sang a beautiful duet which had no small effect upon the congregation. rfunday gives promise of beinj; a great day in the meeting. As will be noted in the schedule of special services at the head of this column Mr. Browning will preach a sneiial sermon to meu and boys Sunday af ternoon at ?. o'clock, his subJct he ing "The Phoenix ". As Sunday is Mothers' Day he will preach on the subject of mother at th morning service and this will no doubt prove of unusual interest. Mr. Stapleton. director of music, is desirous of obtaining a few more bass and tenor voices for the chorus choir. The. singing has been splen did and is proving a most effective part of the services. Mr. Stapleton's solos and the duets have given great pleasure at each service. Musty Suffer, Broadway Saturday. Mary Plckford Ideal Today.

Reliable Laxative Relieved This Boy Child Was Badly Constipated Until Mother Tried Simple Rensedy. In spite of every care and atten tion to diet, children are very apt to become constipated, a condition re sponsible for many ills in after life unless promptly relieved. Mrs. C. W. Wilson, of Shelbyville. Tenn., had trouble with her baby boy, Woodrow, -until she heard of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. She writes, "I can safely say Dr. Cald well's Syrup Pepsin is the best rem edy of its kind on earth. It acts so gently and yet so surely. Little Woodrow was very badly constipated and we could find nothing that gave relief until we tried your Syrup Pep sin, which gave immediate relief." Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a compound of simple laxative herbs, free from opiates or narcotic drugs, mild In action, positive in effect and pleasant to the taste. It has been prescribed by Dr. Caldwell for more than a quarter of a century and can now be had for fifty cents a bottle in any well-stocked drug store. A trial T LOCAL ITEMS Mr. C. C.
