REPORT ON HISTORY
By Unfed Confederate Veterans Com
' mi tee at Nashville,
The gist of ths long document
Not 80 Much What the School HistoHe* Con
tain a* )Vh*t They Do Not Contain.
Arsnmenta In-the Report.
The report of the United Confeder
ate Veterans’ Committee on History
is a strong and elaborate presentation
of arguments Ih favor of juster ac
counts of the civil war. It is unfortu
nate that its length should prevent its
publication except by a limited num
ber of papers with unlimited space,-
says the Chattanooga News.
It sets forth the tact that the condi
’ tions in the South after the collapse
Os the Confederacy were such that it
-was not wise to form extensive organ
izations of the soldiers of the Lost
Cause until 1889. If the organization
now assembled at Nashville should
have met at an earlier date than 1889,
it would have excited violent preju
dice and aroused widespread distrust.
In the absence of such of organiza
tion, howevey, it was impossible to
take any general or effective steps to
see that the histories of the war did
justice to the Confederates.
In- the meantime the Northern
writers alone had been telling the
story, of the conflict. Prejudiced as
were most of them personally, ft would
have been difficult for them to have
given an impartial account of the
struggle or the causes that led up to
it even if they had taken nothing etee
except their own thoughts and f Sw
ings into consideration. When to this
natural prejudice was added the fact
that they were addressing.a constitu
ency who were even more than them
selves under the influence of the fierce
passions of the struggle, and that the
more bitter their denunciation of the
South the more acceptable would be
their books, it is not strange that the
Confederacy received no sort of jus
tice.
Indeed, it would have been surpris
ing if the books of such writers at
had not written down the
Confederacy as “traitors” and “rebels”
conspiring out of pure malice to tear
the Union to pieces with no other
warrant for their action than their
own diabolical hatred of the * ‘truly
loyal and patriotic people of the
North.”
As the years have passed the pas
sions of the tremendous struggle have
cooled down and the people on both •
sides have learned to look upon it
with more tolerant and impartial
eyes. At the same time and in re
sponse to these more liberal senti
ments, the histories of the Northern
writers, even, have grown more just
until many of them contain nothing
to which the South can find violent
objection so far as what they say is
concerned. It is what they do not say
that constitutes the chief criticism to
be offered on meet ot the histories
used in our Southern schools. The
report of the committee argues that
the time has come when the truth,
the whole truth and nothing but the
truth should be told in all the histo
ries written, especially those prepared
for the schools.
There is no longer any danger
secession. The war settled that once
and forever. If there were any danger
■r
The angels that bring healthy, happy
children into the world are the angels of
health and contentment. Children reflect
their parents, particularly the mother.
She is responsible fdV what they are
for what they do. She is responsible if
they are puny, sick, weak, useless, miser
able. It depends on her health. Her health
depends on her care of it. If she is strong
and healthy in a womanly way, she will
have strong, healthy children. She may be
sick or well —it is a matter of choice. She
can be well if she wants to. Dr. Pierce’s
Favorite Prescription will make her well.
It is the only positive, permanent, infallible
cure for diseases of the organs distinctly
feminine. It purifies, strengthens, invigo
rates. It promotes the regular performance
of all the functions. It fits a woman for the
duties and pleasures of wifehood and moth
erhood. Its most benificent usefulness is in
preparing for the time of parturition. It
robs child-birth of pain and danger.
Mrs. W. B. Duncan, of Arlington. Mo., writes:
“ I have used your ‘ Favorite Prescription • and
am never tired of sounding its praise. When my
lady friends complain, I say ' Why don't you take
Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription?’ I told an
anxious mother, whose daughter (18 years-old)
had not been right for five months, about the
medicine, and after the young lady had taken two
thirds of a bottle of ’ Favorite Prescription ’ she
was all right. She had been treated by two of
our best doctors.
A neighbor took nearly four fettles of ‘ Favor
ite Prescription ’ before her baby was born. She
was the mother of one child, and had two doctors
with her before, and was for nearly six weeks in
bed, almost helpless. She thought that if it were
possible »he would do something the next time,
and last September was delivered almost pain
lessly of a fine boy. She thinks Dr. Pierce's Fa
vorite Prescription did it. The mid-wife who wns
with her, said she had the easiest time she ever
saw any one have, and she is an old lady.”

just after the war in keeping the spirit
in its favor alive by teaching the ar
guments on which it was based to the
school children, that danger is long
since past. It possesses no further sig
nificance except as it throws light on
the motives of the Southern people in
withdrawingjfrpm the Union.
The report rightly argues that these
motives cannot be properly under
stood unless the arguments on which
secession were based are given in the
school histories. It should be shown
that several States refused to come
into the Union originally, except with
the understanding that under certain
circumstances they should be allowed
peacefully to withdraw; that as late as
1814 the Hartford convention, com
posed of delegates from the New Eng
land States, favored withdrawal from
the Union and that this principle of
State’s rights was always contended
far by a large and respectable element
of people.
These and many more arguments of
like nature, the report advances as rea
sons why all the facts bearing on the
war should be fully and freely incorpor
ated into the stories of the conflict. The
committeemen state that they have
never thought it advisable nor urged
that any one person should be designated
to write a particular history, but tha*
they are anxious that it be undertaken
by many writers. Indeed, they declare
that it is too large a task to be accom
plished Ha any other way.
The whole report breathes a broad,
catholic and patriotic spirit that does
honor to the distinguished men who
prepared it.

AUGUSTA postoffice.
Lyons Has a Corps of Workers in Wash
ington.
A Washington dispatch says: Corbett
Lyons, Pledger and Morton called on
Senator Hanna at the Arlington this
morning. The positive nature of the in
terview is not known, but it is thought
that they are soliciting Harina’s influ
ence iu the Augusta postoffice affair in
behalf of Lyons.
Lyons’ chances are growing slimmer.
Secretary Gary openly vowed in the
presence of three Georgia Republicans
yesterday that he was opposed to giving
Lyons the office. If it requires Gary’s
endorsement Lyons will not be ap-.
pointed. Hannikpromised sometime ago
to interest himself, but the facts go to
prove that he didn’t hurt his health
fulfilling his promises.
Another interview was sought with
McKinley, but he had other business
more pressing.

Kentucky Republican* and Sound Money
Democrats May Fn«e
Frankfort, Ky., June 30.—The Re
publican state central committee ap
pointed a steering committee, with At
torney General Taylor at its head, to at
tend the sound money Democratic state
convention at Louisville July 10, and
make a formal offer. for fusion of the
parties in the campaign for clerk of the
court of appeals this fall. The terms
proposed are that the sound money
Democrats name the chief clerk, and
the Republicans the deputies, or vice
versa, at the option of the Democrats,
but that the ticket must go under the
Republican device.
I The sound money Democratic leaders
say they might consider the proposition
if the Republicans would join in and
support the nominee under the Demo
cratic device —the picture of Jefferson
surrounded by hickory leaves. The Re
publicans say this is impossible, as
many of their voters are illiterate and
would be confused by the new emblem.
Killed the Man Who Carded Him.
Gadsden, Ala., June 30. —Melton
Young, a white boy, 19 years old, shot
and killed a negro named Huston Mc-
Cauley. They were both trackmen on
the Alabama Mineral railroad. As they
started to work they had some sort
of a difficulty, and the negro cursed
Young. ' The latter went home and se
cured a gun, swung a freight train, and
as it stopped at Rock Springs he stood
on the car, ordered the section foreman
to step aside and shot MeCauley three
times, killing him instantly. Young
escaped to the mountains and has not
been caught, though a sheriff’s posse is
after him.
Trammell Gives Himself Up.
Greenville, S. 0., June 30.—Luther
Trammell, a character who now lives
