An Interesting Place.
Editor News:
In a +late issue of the News
told you of my visit to the Confederate
Home. Will you allow me enough
space in this weeks paper to tell you
of a visit to another institution of the
state, which is almost, tlio’ not quite
as important as that of the Home.
That of which I wish to speak is the
State cemetery, for, with the" Poet
Gray, the stat^of Texas has recognized
that
‘•The boast of heraldry, the pomp of pow’r.
And all that beauty, all that wealth er’e gave,
Await alike the inevitable hour.
The paths of glory lead but to the grave”
and, accordingly, has provided a place
in which her children may “sleep the
last long sleep of death.”
Go with me for a little while to the
state cemetery which is located in the
eastern portion of the city of Austin
and we will read some of the epitaphs.
On entering the west gate, a stately
monument to John Hemphill greets
our vision on which lies the following
inscription: “Born' in Chester Dis-
trict, S. C., on the 18th day of Dec.,
A. D. 1803; died at Richmond, Va.,
Jan. 3 ’63. From 1840 to ’57, he wa
Justice of the supreme courtof Texas,
from ’57 to ’61, the Senator from Texas.
To the right of this rests the long
to be remembered reconstruction gov-
ernor, Edmund J. Davis. This in-
scription is upon the marble shaft
above his head: “Judge of the Dis-
trict court of Texas, Brigadier General,
U. S. Volunteer. Governor of State
of Texas from 1870 to ’74. Erected to
to his memory by his brother. Born
Oct. 2,1827, at Augustine, Fla., died
Feb. 7, 1883 at Austin, Texas.
Not far from the tomb of the recon-
struction governor is a nice, tho’ mod-
est monument with these words writ-
ten upon it to identify the inanimate
form beneath the sod: “Fannin Min-
erva Jf ’Come ye Blessed. ” Died July
27, ’93, aged 61 years. Daughter of
tol. James W. Fannin, of the Goliad
Massacre 1836. Hero Martyr for Texas
Liberty. Standing beside this grave-
covered mound, every true Texan, es-
pecially if his home is in.Fannin coun-
ty, feels like taking off his hat in tok-
en of respect for the daughter of him
who died that we might be free from
the galling yoke of Mexican tryanny.
Then there is a modest stone bear-
ing this incription: “In memory of
Edmuned Burleson of the Texas Revo-
lution. Died Dec, 26, 1851, aged 53
years.
If you want to behold something
that will stir your patriotic blood, gaze
upon the handsome monument to that
brave and much loved German. Aug-
ust Birchel, who volunteered his ser-
vice in the southern army during that
bloody fratricidal strife of the 60s. On
the north side of his monmnent
are these lines: “Bred an officer in
Germany. An officer in the Foreign
Legion in France, Knighted by the
queen for gallantry in the Carlist war
in Spain. Also a Pasha in the Turk-
ish army.” On the west: “Immigra-
ted to Texas in 1845, Captain Co. H.,
1st Texas Foot Rifles, and Aid de
camp to MajrGen. Taylor.C Mexican
War.” On the south: “Lieutenant
Colonel 3rd Texas Infantry: Colonel
1st Texan Cavalry: Brigader General
in the Confederate army. '1lOn the
east side of his monument are these
sad words: Killed at the.battle of
Pleasant Hill. La., April 1§*’64.
“We know that those w ho for their country
die.
Thro’ glory live again— immortally.
If f mistake not, there is a picture
of this great soldier hanging in the
state library at the capitol. Judge
Rainey, the present librarian who is
intimately acquainted with the al-
most unparalleled war record of this
wonderful man, tells many thrilling
stories of his bravery during the 60s.
that stir the blood of young Texans,
and make us proad to know that our
fathers fought fpr principles which
not only they, but those of foreign
birth, believed to be right; and forth6
maintenance of which even foreigners
committe^Jicts of bravery, yae, sacri-
ficed life itself.
Let us now turn and look upon the
beautiful red granite monumentofone
who is, and shall ever be, very dear to
the heart of every Texan, and to many
others throughout the south, Genera1
William P. Hardeman. This well
known character in Texas and south-
ern history, \^as born in Williamson
county, Tenn., Nov. 4,1816, and died
April 8, 1898. He came to Texas in
1835, and served in every military
struggle for^the independence of Tex-
as. The last years of his life were
spent at Austin, where for some time,
he was superintendent of the confed-
erate home. His was a remarkable
career,'and he lias gone down in his-
tory as vThe Veteran of Four Wars.”

C. M. WHEELER,
flat on the ground. Let us approach
it and see wliat it can be. We find it
to be the foundation for the magnific-
ent monument which the state of
Texas is erecting to the memory of
One of her most distinguished, some
one who served her upon the field of
battle, perhaps as no other has ever
served her, General Albert Sidney
Johnson The following is inscribed
upon the foundation: Albert Sydney
Johnson. By the State of Texas in
the year 1904. Brigadier General in
the army of the Republic of Texas,
and also Secretary of war; officer in
;he army of the U. S. in the war with
Mexico, and a General in the army of
uhe confederate states. Fell at Shi-
loh, April 6, 1862, while in command
of the confederate force in defense of
{he rights of self government, and of
the constitution.
The bust and pedestal, I understand,
are to be on exhibition at St. Louis
during the fair, by the well known
sculptress of Austin, Miss Elizabeth
Ney, to whom the contract for mak-
ing the bust was given by the state.
Up to the present we have been
mentioning the names of those who
distinguished themselves, at least
most of them, and their names are
well known to every school boy of the
land. Let us now turn and 'look at
the graves of some of those who were
“to fortune and to fame unknown.
Here is a m< Fst little slab. It
doesn’t tow er above the earth like the
monuments to most of those whom I
have been mentioning, but listen and
I will read you a few lines that most
of us would be proud to know that we
would have something as good said of
us. This slab is by the grave of “Big
Foot Wallace,” and wears this inscrip-
tion: “Here lies he who spent his
manhood defending the homes of Tex-
as. Brave, honest and faithful. Born
April 3, 1817, died Jan. 7,1899.”
Yonder off to itself, Is rather a pecu-
liar little monument, let’s see who lies
beneath its shadow. ' Oh: yes, it is a
double monument to C. B. De Caussey
and wife. He was a confederate sol-
dier, and served in the 2nd I .a. Regi-
ment. *He came to Texas !n ’62, and
at the time of his d'ath m 19C4, was
night-watchman at the State Capitol
building. On his side of the monu-
ment is written: “Gallant soldier,
Christian gentleman.”
She, Mrs. Caussey, tho’ twenty
years younger than her husband, pre-I
ceded him to “that land beyond the 1
skies” about three months. On her
side of the little tomb-stone is written:
“Granddaughter of the lamented Col.
Wm. B. Travisrsoldier, statesman and
Hero Of the Alamo.”
Leaving these monuments that
visits these graves of the confederates
dead should stand amid them with
un-covered heads, and repeat that
famous prayer^of the Kipling:
“God of our father, kqown of old,
Lord of our far flowing battle line,
Beneath whose awful hand we hold,
Dominion over palms and pine,
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget, lest we forget.”

CURED OF ""CHRONIC DIAR-
RHOEA AFTER TEN YEARS
OF SUFFERING.
“I wish to say a few words iri
praise of Chamberlain’s Colic, Chol-
era and Diarrhoea Remedy,” says
Mrs. Mattie Burge of Martinsville,
Va. “I suffered from chronic diar-
rhoea for ten years and during that
time tried various menicines without
obtaining any permanent relief. Last
summer one of my children was taken
with cholera morbusr and I procured
a bottle of this remedy. Only two
doses were requiicd to give her entire
relief. I then decided to try the
medicine myself, and did not use all
of one bottle before I was well and I
have never since been troubled with
that complaint. One cannot say too
much in favor of that wonderful med-
icine.” This remedy is for sale by

bination of salt sea bathing, blue
sunlit skies, pure.mountain air and
pretty women and children. The cli-

perate the year round, is particularly
delightful in summer, with its sunny

SAVED FROM"TERRIBLE DEATH
The family of Mrs. M. L. Bobbitt of
Bargerton, Tenn., saw her dying and
were powerless to save her. The most
skillful physicians and every remedy
used, failed, while consumption was
slowly but surely taking her life. In
this terrible hour Dr. King's New
Discovery for Consumption turned
despair into joy. The first bottle
brought immediate‘relief and its con-
tinued use completely cured her. It’s
th$ most certain cure in the world for
all throat and lung troubles. Guar-

every joint ached and every nerve was
racked with pain,” writes C. W. Bell-
amy, a locomotive fireman, of Bur-
lington, Iowa. “I was weak jnd pale,
without any appetite and all run
down. As I was about to give up, I
got a bottle of Electric Bitters, and
after taking it, I felt as well as I ever
did in my life.” Weak, sickly, run

last few years was supposed to be in-
curable. For a great many years doc-
tors pronounced it a local disease and
prescribed local remedies, and bv con-
stantly failing to cure with ‘local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional treatment. Hall’s Ca-
