It claims killing, looting, burning, and widespread devastation precede any pretended benevolence and warns the aim is to gut and subjugate their nations for imperial pride and gain.
In Charleston the omission of Gen. Joe Wheeler from the parade lineup sparks talk as he waits for a carriage at Judge Brawley's home. Wheeler, invited by veterans, was to speak to Confederates but was not listed among riders, prompting blame and denials from Gen. Walker's committee. A broader note approves wartime memory and touches on food adulteration concerns and the Chattanooga Times view on local industry vigor. The piece ends with a Cincinnati Enquirer anecdote about Gen. Butler aiding a mill worker by seizing a factory water wheel to compel payment, illustrating resolve and reform.
