The People's Journal. PICKENS- S. C. IMI ARP TAIKS OF R. E. LEE. He Met the General on Two Oc casions During the Civil War and Was Imnpressed With His Granduer. Atlanta Constitution. " Duty is the sublimiest word in our language." That is what General Lee wrote to his son soon after General Scott offered him the supreme com mand -A the Northern army. Virginia had just seceded and Lee saw on one side that there were no honors to which he might not aspire. On the other side, if he cast his destiny with that of his State, he saw, or he thought he saw, that miseries and trials awaited him without number. But to seek his duty and, having found it, it was ever the principle of his actions. These strong and beautiful words about dlty' were not original with General Lee, and in his letter he has them in quota tion marks. The expressioi came from Rev. John Davenport, a famois Purli tan preacher of New Eing-iat'l-and it man who gave shelter to the thrzee reg gicides who condemne(ied Charh lI the First to death anel after the restoration fled for their lives to New Englmati and were iuddei by donli I)ave nport in his barn. When tiis act of treas ton became ki >win among his people Ie ncitherIquiailed nor releit ed but preachi edi a sermon the iexL Sabbath frol that passage in Isaialh wIiich says: " lide the outcasts. lietray not hiti that wandereth. ILt Iimy oltelasts dwell with thee and h1o thou covert unto them fromn the spoiler.'" It w;as in that serlon thai1t he made use of this notable expresion: " It, is my duty to shield the m, ai dtify is the su1bli met, word in our language.'" During the war it was my privilegee to see General Lce (uite oft en, buL never did I met hiun face to face atnd have a brief colversationl with him) but twice. Even thieni we did not kniow how great a namlie was. General Joh1nsto u1111i heII WoMiuded at.

All of these are noble objects butt the greatest of all is the establishting of te truth antd preserving it.

It was the Daughters of the Confederacy who did it and to tneir widespread and influential or ganization the South must look for the maintenance of the truth. Just think of it. Within the past nine years twenty-two States have been chartered as grand divisions, including California New York, thl3 District of Columbia, Oklahoma and the Indian Territory. 1n all these there have been chartered an aggregate of over three hundred chapters with a membership of 26,00( good loyal Southern women. TIIc largest federation of women in (1he world. Of this membership Texas has the largest number, 2,435, GCorgie conies next with 1,750 (meibers.

The strongest competitor in the Stato vilI have been forced out If, in consequence, there is any ad 'ance in the price of fertilizers it is cer ain that advance would not go into the >OCkets of the farmers. What, then can the State gain? It would be construed as notice to all )utsido capital that its presence is undo irable and its investment at the risk of rbitrary destruction. It would be tantamount to saying that he State prefers that her citizens ihould remain poor and her natural re ources undeveloped, and that she does iiot desire them to share in the material p)r<grces of the citizens of other States. Second-To the standpoint of justice : If the company has violated the law let it be punished. The fact of such violation is a niatter for the Coui ts. The General Atseinbly makes laws; it Lhoes not try cases. Is it fair, then, to try and condemin a party without hearing him? ) The Attorney General has himself re ferred the matter to the Courts. It should be left to them to decide. 0 Ilastly-Tho Attorney General asks N ,he Goeral Assembly to take so extra )rdinary a stop as the summary ternina 'ion of all permission to the Virginia Darolina Chemical Company to longer carry on business in the State. fle gives as the motive for such action that the company has removetd the case against it to the Federal Court. But this is the more legal exorcise of a onstitutional right. The Supreme Court of our State. as well as the Supreme Court of the United States, has decided that the right to re move proper cases into the Federal Uourts is a constitutional one, and any &ct of a Legislature attempting to pro Iibit it is void. The Federal Courts cortainly exist for somie purpose. They arc created for the very purpose of trying cases Involving Lhe question of rights under the Federal Uonstitution. Why, then, should a party be perse sutcd for only exorcising a constitutional right and carrying a case for trial into .he Court created for that express pur Should the State use its power to de stroy a party for so small and trivial a reasion?
