the military chieftains of the South, the name of Robert E. Lee, whose noble virtues and martial deeds gave glory and renown world-wide to his beloved country; of Jackson—Stonewall Jackson— Whose eye met the battle As the eagle's meets the sun— that military genius whose fall on the bloody field of Chancellorsville made freedom shriek; of Smith and Polk, the Christian soldiers; of Albert S. and Joseph E. Johnston; of D. H. and A. P. Hill; of Cleburne and Stuart and Morgan and Bragg and Hardee, and a host of others, who in life labored and fought for the South, and who are at rest now, we trust, on the shining shore of the other side. But no pages of that history will be brighter and more resplendent than those which shall record the marvelous deeds and terrible trials of the women of the South. Those pages will tell of wives and mothers and daughters and sisters who, in their wonderful courage and in their true and constant love for their dear ones, their homes and native lan<

th, thanks to the Master, are one great and glorious Union. But, Confederate Veterans and Sons of Confederate Veterans, still I say to you, drop not from memory's roll the names of Our Heroes, and remember, especially remember, the martyrs of your own State—Ward and Lamar and Call and Parkhill and Bird and Bradford and Simmons and McLean and Pyles, and other sons of Florida, whose lives went out in war's wild tempest. Remember, also, Anderson, Finnegan, Maxwell and Beard, and Brevard and Daniel, and others, who escaped death on the field of carnage and have passed over the river since the smoke of battle cleared away. Can we forget them? No; no; no; And years may go, But our tears shall flow O'er the heroes who fought and died for us. Though I speak to you thus, my hearers, think not that it is my desire to awaken in your hearts feelings of the terrible days gone by and to revive the animosities of the past. Nay, I would not if I could, and sure I am that I could not if

It is enough for me to say now that the questions were submitted by the contending parties to the sword for arbitration, and the award was against the South. Yes, my hearers, after four years of battle and blood, the men of the South were vanquished, but not dishonored. And here and now, in behalf of our dear departed comrades, and in behalf of Finley and Miller and Dickison and Bullock and Hemming and Lang and Baya, and others tried and true who, thank God, yet survive, I say, hushed be the voice and still be the tongue that would stigmatize them and us as traitors. They and we, in the great contest, followed where honor and manhood and patriotism led. They and we rallied around the Stars and Bars, the flag of the Confederate States, and over a hundred battlefields and more that flag waved in glorious triumph, and baptized and rebaptized it was in the best blood of our

r entire people are voiced when I return to Comrade Charles C. Hemming, the generous donor, their grateful acknowledgments for this noble gift. Its care is confidently entrusted to the patriotic citizens of Jacksonville. Response by Major-General Fitzhugh Lee. Major-General Fitzhugh Lee happily responded to an urgent request for words of greeting. It is regretted that his address, which was entirely extempore, cannot be given. He spoke in eloquent and forceful language of the cause for Major-General Fitzhugh Lee happily responded to an urgent request for words of greeting. It is regretted that his address, which was entirely extempore, cannot be given. He spoke in eloquent and forceful language of the cause for which each side had fought, involving differences which had to be settled by the sword, and by the sword were settled. Looking out, said he, to-day upon yonder tented city, we see Illinois and North Carolina, Wisconsin and Virginia under one flag, for a common cause, the only rivalry being as to which shall carry the flag further for freedom. He paid a beautiful tribute to those whom the monument commemorates, among whom were old comrades dear to him; that his first service after leaving West

ing population of about 13,000. The soldiers of Florida came not only from every section of the State and every vocation in life, but also from every age, indeed from the cradle to the grave. What a glorious record and what convincing proof that they battled for what they believed to be right. As the years come and go, their patriotic service will be remembered as long as men shall admire and love heroic virtue. Confederate veterans, survivors of the Lost Cause, you who marched with Lee and Jackson and Johnston and Bragg. You who heard the thunder of guns at Sharpsburg and Gettysburg and Shiloh, and Perryville and Chickamauga, though the cause for which you fought was engulfed in the fiery waves of war and lost, the conclusion must not be, that therefore it was unjust and wrong. The failure of a right cause does not make it wrong any more than does the success of a wrong cause make it right. If the cause for which our Revolutionary forefathers struggled for more than se

d they are hereby, repealed. Florida having thus seceded from the Union, and her citizens believing that to their State, in which were their homes and loved ones, they owed allegiance, promptly responded to her call and soon became actors in the great war between the States. They were animated by that heroic spirit which was conspicuously displayed at that eventful period of our country's history by men both from the South and the North—that spirit which is beautifully portrayed by Thomas Gray, Jr., when he says: No fearing, no doubting thy soldier shall know, When here stands his country and yonder her foe; One look at the bright sun, one prayer to the sky, One glance at our banner, which floats glorious on high; Then on, as the young lion bounds on his prey; Let the sword flash on high, fling the scabbard away; Roll on, like the thunderbolt over the plain; We come back in glory or come not again. Fellow citizens, small indeed, was the population of our State during the

Thank God, their arts are unavailing. To arms! To arms! Ye brave, Tha avenging sword unsheath. March on! March on! All hearts resolve On victory or death. Chorus. To arms! To arms! Ye brave, Tha avenging sword unsheath, March on! March on! All hearts resolve On victory or death. The ceremonies terminated with the following benediction, pronounced by the Rev. W. H. Dodge: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost be with you all. Amen. Among the responses to invitations sent by the Committee of Arrangements, were letters of regret at inability to be present from President McKinley, the Governors of Maryland, Alabama and Virginia, General S. G. French, U. S. Senator S. Pasco, Major Thomas M. Woodruff, and Generals Wade Hampton and John C. Underwood.

And may we not, at this time, with hearts profoundly thankful, exclaim, God bless our country? Governor Bloxham, it is now my pleasing duty and exalted privilege, as the representative of Mr. Charles C. Hemming, a citizen of Texas, to present to Florida, the State of his birth, through you, its Chief Magistrate, the imposing monument before us, which witness though it be, yet ever testify to all who come here, in behalf of devotion to principle, patriotic valor and love of home and native land. Monument received. Acceptance of the monument in behalf of the State of Florida by Governor William D. Bloxham, who, being introduced, spoke as follows: Mr. Chairman It becomes my pleasant task to accept, on behalf of the State, this monument, given by a warm-hearted and generous Florida soldier as a votive offering, that memory may foreve
