On September 5th the Associated Press sent out a dispatch from Mil waukee, Wis., which contained a very proper suggestion and one which The Ledger would be pleased to see put Into execution. Major Jerome A. Watrous, a retired army officer, who had returned from the national en campment G. A. R., at Toledo, Ohio, said a joint encampment of the G. A. R. and United Confederate Veterans Is favored within a few years. Mr. Watrous. in an Interview, said: / “There Is a strong undercurrent In favor of a Joint encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic and the United Confederate Vterans, in one of the border States within the next ten years, at which time there should be Inaugurated a movement for the building of a monument at Appro- mattox in memory of Generals U. S. Grant and Robert E. Lee, and all of the American soldiers who marched and fought on both sides in the war of the rebellion. Wouldn’t that be a history-making encampment and wouldn’t such a movement tell a won derful story?” Our father fought for the Confed eracy. as did also an uncle and other relatives, and although we did not see the light of day until after Lee had surrendered at Appomatox we yield to no man in loyalty to “The Lost Cause.” Nearly a half century has past and the thin gray line be comes thinner with each succeeding anniversary, as does also the line of the G. A. R. This Is a united coun try.

It hasn’t exactly reached that point yet but this decision was against the State just the same. • • • Our old friend, the Edgefield Chronicle, has come forward in a new and more up-to-date form, hav ing discarded the eight-column folio for the six-column quarto.

The low price of cotton and the de termination of the farmers not to sell at less than 12 cents is likely to make matters dull. We hope the market will advance to the point which the planters are contending for. It appears to us that 12 cents is a very reasonable price for the staple. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS.
