In the letter Mr. Wanamakor says that

letter is followed by a circumstantial account
of a remarkable interview between
Director English uud Mr. Wanamakor. alleged
to have taken place Friday in tlie

Mr. Wnnnmaker's story of the interview
is as follows:
"Dlroctor English opened the'eonvorsatiou
liy saying:
" 'I have coine over hero to talk to you

apparently stop for awhile, but It was only
a little while, and tltey have been going on
ever since. The Mayor aud I have stood it
now for a year, and we are not going to

At this point Mr. Wanatnaker called his

Mr. English I would not Interfere in any
way witli whatever my son intends to do
with his paper, and furthermore I would
not permit tint Director of Public Safety or
the Mayor himself to dictate to ine on a
question liko tills."
"Mr. English said:
"'Very well. Then I want to give you J
notice that for eight mouths we have l?oon |
looking up your personal record from Hie |

have followed you throughout Washington,
Philadelphia, New York, and even in :
Europe, and we have fortilled ourselves I

"After some further controversy .Mr. '
English said;
" 'Well, sir, I Insist t lint you shall stop
those attacks of The North American on
the administration. If you do not, you
will have no one to blame for the consequences
but yourself. We will not stand it
any longer, and we give you notice. Von

"I replied:
" 'Your language is offensive and grossly
insulting. You coine to me in my private

threaten me with the use of nflldavlts,

Bill l-'eels Happy, Now That the
Woods Are (ireen and the Birds Are
Singing.
Of course Atlanta will raise the
money to uniiform the poor confederate
veterans and pay their way to Louisville.
That battalion of one-armed,
one-legged, one-eyed heroes of the lost
cause syill be the most significant
feature of the reunion and will make
more lasting impression upon the
vising generation than anything else.
"That is genuine." they will say.
Those old (fellows were certainly there
and they have not repented of it. In
fact, they are proud of it. It will
teach the youth of the other side that
our boys were terribly in earnest and
that neither time nor poverty lias obliterated
a single feeling of emotion
that possessed thorn when they faced
the guns of the enemy nearly forty
years ago. They are established in
the faith and will die. not believing
they were right, but knowing it. That
word "believing* is a misnomer, a
kind of compromise. It does not lit
us. We knew we were right then and
we know it yet. relieving is a word
that fits the other side. A good many

were hirelings and fought for $10 a
month and nothing else. They were
hungry. It scents to me If I was a
northern man 1 would say to my people
"\Vc can't do anything with those

boys! Let's quit talking and
quit bragging, and when them feUows
down south want a reunion let's hij
them godspeed and say, "<!o it. boys!
We are betting on you. Cot together
by your camplires, as it were, and retell
your old war stories, and let the
tears from your old watery eyes glisi

! go hack h<rtne and tell it all to your
I wives and children, and then?yes. and
I then?and then lay down and die.' "
1 Well, that's just what the old vets are
doing. They are dying pretty fast now
and there will hardly be enough left
for another reunion. Our hope and
faith is that our hoys will keep the
camplires burning and gather around
them and tell what their fathers did.
Lot those memories survive the flight
of time, just iike the historic and heI

1 saw tho blue and the gray each about
300 strong sitting in the same hail listening
to an address for the benefit o!
confederate veterans. Yes. the same
kind of veterans we wish to uniform
and send there. These federal soldier?
came out and pahf their money ta
show their sympathy for the cause oi
j tho poor soldier. That sympathy has
' existed in all civilized nations and
Stqrne never wrote a more touching
thiftg than when he wrote about Uncle
Toby, who when told that a poor soldier
was dying at, his gate, seized his
crutch and hurried to him, exclaiming
! in his emotion. "He shall not die, 'by
God!" " That oath was set down upon
the hook, but an angel dropped a

So go ahead. Captain Hearing, and ask.
for the money, and 1 am sure it will
