MP WRITES OF LEE.
le Met the Se?era! on Two Occa?
sion D?ring the War.
IMPRESSED WITH HIS GRANDEUR.
Army Did Not Know What a Great
Man Was Their Leader-Hard?
ships of War.
"Duty.is the sublimest word in our
language." This is what General Lee
wroteto ?is son soon after General
Scott offered him the supreme com?
mand of the northern army. Virginia
hid just seceded and Lee saw on one
side that there were no honors, to
which be 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 ac?
tions. These strong and beautiful
words about duty were not original
with General Lee, and in his letter he
has them in quotation marks. The I
expression came from Rev. John Dav?
enport, a famous Puritan preacher* of
New Eagland-the man who gave
shelter to the three regicides who con?
demned Charles the First to death and
after the restoration fled for their
lives to New England and were hidden
by John Davenport in his barns.
When this act of treason became known
among his people he neither quailed
nor relented, but preached a sermon
the next Sabbath from that passage in
Isaiah which says: "Hide the out?
casts. Betray not him that wandereth.
Let my outcasts dwell with thee and
be thou covert unto them from the
spoiler." It was in that sermon that
he made use of this notable expres?
sion: ."It is my duty to shield them,
and duty is the sublimest word in our
language."
During the war it was my privilege
to see General Lee quite often, but
never did I meet him face to face and
have a brief conversation with him but
twice. Even then we did not know
how great a? man he was. General
Johnston had been wounded at Seven
Pines and General Lee came from Y7est
Yirignia to take his place. He was
almost ? stranger to the Army of
Northern ..Virginia. He had been in
command but a week or two when
General Black, of Rome, came to see
nis boys of the Eighth Georgia and
asked me to ride with bim to General
Lee's headquarters and introduce him,
for he was very desirous of meeting:
him before he returned to Georgia. Of
course I complied, for General Black
was a man of no small consequence at
home. He was old and gray and of
commanding presence and miiltary
bearing. Introducing myself first, I
presented General Black, and after we
were seated I said nothing, but paid
modest and respectful attention. I
was soon impressed with the grandeur
of the man before me, and, of course,
as he expanded, I very naturally shrank
up a little to keep the equilibrium.
Not long after this the Seven Days'
battles began and ended in McClel?
lan's defeat and our army began to
reaize how great a man Lee was. It
was on the sixth day that I was sent
to his headquarters near Meadow
Bridge to receive orders, and there
I met him again. He was standing
uncovered and unarmed in front of his
tent, and "Stonewall" Jackson was
asleep inside upon the straw, and the
servant had set the dinner tables over
him so as not to disturb his rest, for,
as General Lee said, "He needs it, and
nothing but artillery will awake him
now."
I said that the army did not know at
first how great a man Lee was. Neith?
er cid they know fully at the last, for
he was one of the few great characters
that develops and grows brighter and
grander as the years roll on. For some
years after the war he received but
.little praise at the north and a great
national cyclopedia gave more space
and praise to Old John Brown than to
General Lee, who arrested and exe?
cuted him. But now, in the Interna?
tional, of fifteen volumes-a standard
work, edited and compiled by 20 of the
most distinguished scholars and pro
fesscrs of the northern colleges-the
sketches of General Lee and Stonewa] !
Jackson are all that we coald ask for.
Verily, old Father Time is a good
doctor and Anno Domini the softening
solvent of all malignant passions. But
this is enough from me concerning the
great commander. It was the sublim?
Cbritsian faith of Lee and Jackson
that made their characters comolete
and added luster to tbeir military
fame. They were men of prayer.
For a little while I would ask your
kind attention to those whom since
1892 have called themselves the Daugh?
ters of the Confederacy. Their mis?
sion has been and still is and we trust
long will be as declared in article 2 of
their constitution: "Educational,
memorial, social and benevolent-to
collect and preserve the material for a
truthful history of the war between
the states-to honor the memory of
those who served and those who fell in
our service and to record the part
taken by southern women during the
war and its aftermath, their patient
endurance of hardship, their patriotic
devotion during the struggle and to
fulfill the duties of sacred charity to
the survivors. " Ali of these are no
-ble objects but the greatest of ail is
the establishing of the truth and pre?
serving it. The poet saith that
"Truth crushed to earth will rise
again," and it has risen and will con
tinue td rise. Even that popular mag?
azine, Frank Munsey's Monthly, in
its last number, has forever blotted j
out the malignant and fanatical story !
of Barbara Freitchie, and only the \
last week the ladies of Lexington,
Kv., put under the ban the d^ama of
"Uncle Tom's Cabin." It was the
Daughters of the Confederacy who did
it and to their widespread and influ?
ential organization 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, in?
cluding California, New York, the
District of Columbi, Oklahoma and
the Indian Territory. In all these
there have been chartered an aggre?
gate of over three hundred chapters
with a membership of 26,000 good,
loyal southern women. The largest
federation of women in the world. Of
this membershipJ Texas has the
largest number, 2,435. Georgia cc
next with 1,750 members. But
i friends, this great army of daugh
I had mothers who, whether alive
now dead, instilled this love of- ti
and unstained confederate honor
the hearts of their children. 1
are the ones who sacrificed and sn]
ed and still were strong. For n
than fifteen years I have observe'

mothers of these daughters endn
more hardships and privations t
their husbands and sons who wen
the army, but they never complain
Goldsmith wrote:
"Man wants but little here belov
Nor wants that little long."
But some cynical old bachelor pa
phrased it:
"Man wants but little here below,
For so the poets say,
But woman wants it all, you know,
And wants it right away."
Well, she does want all she can g
and wants it as soon as she can get
if not sooner, but if she can't have
she surrenders cheerfully and accoc
dates herself to the situation. Duri
th wear they actually smiled at th
own pitiful and distressed conditi<
They boiled down the dirt from 1
smoke house that had long been sa:
rated with the dripplings of the hai
ing meat and made pretty good salt
it and divided with their neighbo
They parched rye and goobers i
coffee and sweentend it with sorght
and bragged how good it was. Th
cut up their old garments and ma
clothes for their children. Indeed
is always an amusing entertainment
listen to these good old mothers
? they recite their makeshifts and th?
trials after Sherman had pass
through on his march to the sea. N
long ago four or five of these matro
by chance met at our house and it w
nip and tuck between them as th
told of the most amusing experience
One told how her two boys and
little girl had worn out their sho
until they would not hold shuc
much less feet and she found an o
calf skin that had long been hangii
in the barn and she soaked it in lin
and red oak bark and got about ha
the hair off and took it to an old sh
cobbler, and he made three pair
shoes that would hold shucks, ai
they fit the childen pretty well, bi
the red hair stuck out in little patch?
all over them, and she laughed ar
laughed until the children did ni
want to wear them, because she langi
ed so much. That was the origin <
tan shoes, though these were made <
untanned leather. Another told ho
two of her children never saw a raisi
until they were 5 and 7 years old, an
were afraid to eat them, and said the
were bugs. Another told how she an
her boys built a fence around tb
garden by boring holes in the plan
and the posts.with an old brace an
bit that her husband left when h
went off. And they made pegs an
drove them in for there wasn't a na:
in the county. But good old Mothe
Akin, whom everybody loves an
likes to listen to, told how three c
her neighbors got out of meal and ha
somehow got hold of three bushels c
corn, and they rigged up a little ricket
wagon and a blind army mule and a]
three started to the nearest mill
which was 7 miles away. They start
ed early and got to the creek, and th
creek was up, but they drrove in, am
sure enough the wagon came uncou
pied right in the middle of it and le
them all down where it was kne
deep, and let the corn down, too, an<
the muie went on with the fore wheel
and stopped when he got over. Bu
they,never gave up the ship nor th?
corn. It. took them about an hour t<
get the corn and the wagon togethe
again, and with dripping garment;
they hurried on to the mill. A photo
graph of the scene would sell as th<
champion picture of the women of th?
war. The good miller gave them dr
meal for the wet corn, and by sundowr
they were all at home again anc
laughed over it and everybody iaughec
who heard of it. Almost every faniih
within Sherman's belt have firesid(
stories to tell that would fill a book.
They are a curious medley of the sad,
the pathetic and the amusing, anc
excite more fun than sorrow. Hcv>
blessed are they who still live, anc
how sweet are the memories of those
who are dead, for it is the mother*
of the confederacy who have perpetu?
ated the love of truth and the love oi
southern patriotism in the hearts oi
the children and inspired these prin?
ciples that have in recent years de?
veloped that grand organization
known as the Daughters of the Con?
federacy. Our northern brethren may
boast of the Grand Army of the Re?
public, but our mothers smile and say :
"I don't see where the *grand comes
in, for all who came this way were
low Dutch and hungry Irish who fear?
ed not God nor regarded women.."
Weil, it is all over now, and we are
at peace, that blessed peace that hath
her victories more renowned than
war. And thrice blessed is the woman
whom ti e dark ages kept subdued for
centuries, but has come to the front and
now stands side by side with man and is
al.1.-ays first in every good word and
work. For two thousand years she was
called by name but twice in the Bible.
Mother Eve, and next came Sarah, the
wife of Abraham, and for another two
thousand years was mentioned by name
only a few times, but at last she was
honored as the mother of our Savior
and was "last at the cross and earliest
at the grave.''
Within the last half century she has
made more progressin establishing her
natural and God-given rights than in
all preceding time. She is tne ac?
knowledged head of all religious, mis?
sionary and charitable institutions.
She is the school teacher of the world,
and in these United States constitutes
nine-tenths of all the public school
. teachers in the land. In several states
she has the rigiit of suffrage and is
eligible to office on the school boards.
Time was when she was almost a dead
letter in literature and hardly ever
noticed in the press of the country.,
but now a great metropolitan paper or
magazine could not exist without a
large space being devoted to her ser?
vice and her fairy pictures made to
adorn the columns of every issue.
Woman in this southland is a power
and woe be to the men who scorn it,
for they are always on the side of re?
ligion and good morals and purity in
private life. Without them the
church, the prayer meeting, the Sab?
bath schools and even the home would
speedily decline into that state that
Grover Cleveland called an "innocu?
ous desuetude. " In truth, she is the
hope of the world and her progess the
best sign cf the coming millennium.
As to her influence for all that is good
in educating and refining mankind, no
man ever wrote a more beautiful sen?
tence than that of Sir Richard Steele,
when he penned that: "To look upon
and love a fair and virtuous woman
and be loved by her is a liberal educa?
tion." And so let me say to the
young men, these sons of confederacy,
don't despair; don't grieve for a col?
lege education ; don't lament your
poverty ; but get married and your ed?
ucation will begin. Sometimes the
course is long, but it is happy. My
own has been running for nearly fifty
three years and is not completed, for
I have not yet received a diploma nor
taken the first honor. I am still a
school boy.-Bill Arp in Atlanta Con?
stitution.
SOLVING A PROBLEM.
The Green Country Brakeman Wlio
Introduced the "Saw By."
Many years ago a green country boy
applied to the superintendent of a
?western railway for work and, some?
what against the superintendent's
wish, on account of the danger to life
and limb attendant upon sn di occupa?
tion, was given a place as brakeman of
a freight train.
On one of his first trips it happened
that his train met another freight train
at a station where the sidetrack was
not long enough to accommodate either
of them. The conductors were debat?
ing which train should back up to a
point where they could pass when the
new hand ventured to suggest that nei?
ther should back; that they could pass
each other by means of tho short side?
track if the thing was managed right
The idea excited a good deal of
laughter on the part of the old train?
men, but the boy stood his ground.
"Well, how would you go about it?"
asked one of the conductors, confident
that the lad would soon find himself
against a stump.
The boy took up a stick and traced in
the sand a cliagi-am to illustrate his
plan.
"Good gracious!" said the conductor.
"I believe that will do it!"
And it did do it. Today every train?
man in America .probably knows how
to "saw by" two long trains on a short
sidetrack, but it is not so generally
known that the thing was never done
until, an inexperienced country boy
who became the manager of a great
railway line worked out the problem
for himself.
Be Patient With Possy.
If you want to train a cat properly,
remember that pussy is not the stu?
pid animal pictured by common super?
stition. Cats certainly are not so in?
telligent as dogs. Neither are they so
sociable. But once they get to know
what is wanted of them they are easi?
ly induced to do it to the best of their
ability. Kindness and patience go a
long way with cats. A little whole?
some correction is good for a dog. but
use a whip to a cat for one time only,
even if ever so sparingly, and its value
as a trick animal is destroyed forevet
Cats are.s?mp?y bundles of nerves cov?
ered over with fur, and even an unkind
word or a glance from any one they
love will cause them acute suffering.
Theater Audiences.
llave you ever noticed that theater
audiences always assemble in the re?
verse order to tho prices of admission?
The enea post seats are occupied first
and the most expensive ones last.
Those who go to the extreme back
upper poreiies are always on hand be?
fore the doors are open and wait -with
heroic patience to be admitted. Those
who occupy the seats a little lower in
position ard a little higher in price
come next. Then the balcony begins
to fill from the back downward, from
75 cents t: seat in the back rows,
through $1 and $1.50 to $2 down in
front
On the orchestra fio.-r is the same
condition of affairs, those who occupy
the most expensive seats entering just
before the curtain risos or shortly after
it is up. while the boxes are usually
not occupied until the iirst act is weil
under wav.-New York Herald.

Comment?2 or begin? The best writ?
ers, and thc best speakers, also, prefer
"begin" to "commence" fer all every?
day purposes. Thc reason for this pref?
erence is not. as some hr.ve said, that
"begin" is older, for "commenee" is of
very respectable antiquity: nor is it.
as others have said, that "begin" is of
Ang!o-Su:-:o:i origin, for words o'
French cr of La Lin Grigin that have
been fully adopted into our language
are just as good English as native
words, lt is rather th:it "begin" has
the strength ot' simplicity, whereas

We claim to be the Lowest Priced Whiskey House. We really sell whiskey
as low as $1.10 per gallon, and mind yon : distilled whiskey-not a decoction
of chemicals-but pf conrse it is new and under proof.
Our "Mountain Dew" 5 year old whiskey is a liquid joy ! It is actually pro?
duced by honest Tar Heels in the Mountain Section of North Carolina, by the
old time hand process. Every drop is boiled over open furnace wood fires, in
old style copper stills, in exactly tho saine way as distilled by our grandfathers
a century ago. First rate whiskey is sold at ?5 to ?6 per gallon, but is not
any better than "Mountain Dew." It is the best in the world and must please
every customer or we will buy it back with Gold-and the Peoples National
Bank of Winston, North Carolina, will tell you our guarantee is good. To more
fully introduce ''Mountain Dew,'; we offer either three or five gallons (in plain
sealed box.) at the special price of ?1 95 per gallon cash with order. Positive?
ly no larger amount shipped. On future shipments wc will require the usual
price, viz : $2 95 per gallon. Express pr? paid to all regular customers. We
have branch warehouses in Denver, St. Louis, and Cincinnati, but all orders and
remittances (in stamps, cash or by check, etc.) as well as requests for confi?
dential price list must be addressed as follows:
