He said people talked about the New South. It was the Old South 

 in reality represented by the younger men. While it was true 

 that he was a representative of ''The Lost Cause," he said he thanked 

 God that the cause was lost. It was a blessing to the South; the 

 whites were emancipated as well as the blacks. They never knew 

 until they were taught by experience after the war, the stuff that 

 was in them. To-day they stand by the flag as loyally as their 

 Dorthern brothers. 



The Hon. J. A. Herr, a veteran, and member of the State Board 

 of Agriculture, also made appropriate remarks along the same line. 

 After the exercises of the meeting were concluded, a parade was 

 formed and marched to the Cemetery.

 Breeding of Poultry for Egg Production; Housing, Care and Man- 

 agement," (illustrated by lantern slides,) by Prof. James E. Rice,

 of Cornell University, as the lecturer of the evening, and I want to 

 say to you that Prof. Rice has done more for the poultry interests 

 of this country than any other man, or any other five living men. I

 at Ithaca, where he has occupied and still occupies the position of 

 Professor of Poultry Husbandry, has been of the very greatest value; 

 and now without extending these remarks, I will say that it is a 

 privilege and a pleasure to introduce to you to-night. Professor Rice, 

 and I hope you will join in giving him a hearty greeting. 



Prof. Rice addressed the audience as follows, illustrating his talk

Ladies and Gentlemen of the Institute: It is a special pleasure to
