Words Kindly and Fitly Spoken
Rev. J. W. Lee, one of the ablest
and purest divines in the state, has
written a letter on the Senatorial ques
lion. His sentiments are echoed by
thousands. We only have room for
the following extracts:
"The most distinguished living sol
dier of the Southern side of the war is
a citizen of Georgia. Of the brave
men who remain, known and honored
for their connection with the most bril
liant attempt to establish an independ-
end government made in modern
times, Governor Gordon is the most
prominent. His name not only stands
for a true and manly citizen of the
South, but for a great historic struggle.
It has been caught and transfigured
and set forever in honor by a move
ment which started in Southern convic
tion, and ended not till the civilized
world was convioced that we were as
true and brave and chivalrous a peo
ple as ever dared to die in defence of
the right. His name stands for the
sword against which no charge can be
brought but that it was drawn from
th'e scabbard in defence of Southern
convictious of dutv and honor.
About the name of this brave and
generous man Is gathered what is dear
in our ^traditions, and whit is sacred
in our tears and trials. It stands for
the flag tattered and torn, and forever
withdraw from among the ensigns of
nations, but waved over as warm and
noble hearts as ever pulsed high with
courage and lcve.
It has been said by some that
enough has been made of the war
We can never get far enough away
from the war to have the obligations
we are under to the men who served
us cancelled. Obligations created by
the kind of service that risked life are
binding forever. Then is It fair to our
Boldiers who died in the war, and to
Southern conceptions of this govern
ment, for the people of our section to
cease talking about the war, at the
very time when our fellow citizens in
the North are making the most of it 1
The soldier there is the universal ob
ject of veneration and respect.
They have provided homes and
grounds for them'equal to the posibili-
ties of money and affection. They pay
Out of the national treasury to them
every year over $150,000,000, A
large portion of this money our own
• people, who get ho pensions help to
pay. They are tendered banquets
and war days and grand encampments
at the great centres of population.
They are regaled with music and
praised with eloquence everywhere.
Their soldiers sleep in cemeteries laid
off in exquisite taste at the public ex
pense. At all political meetings they
revindicate their loyalty and fidelity to
the government by restating the part
their soldiers took in the war.
I want to ask the brave Confederate
veterans of Georgia who followed Gen.
Lee and Stonewall Jackson and John
B Gordon during the four years war,
if this is just the lime for our people
to drop the war subject and to cease
to honor the generals who planned
and executed our part in the conflict J
That the hates cogenderpd by the war
r ought to dropped,'I admit.
Our fellow citizens at the North do
not mean by honoring their soldiers to
express their hate of the South, They
rrgard it a solemn duly. Have all our
obligations to Confederate soidiers
ceased because we did not succeed I
We have no pensions to give our sol
diers, no magnificent homes. Should
«c noi, when other things are equal,
give them whatever honors it is in orr
power to bestow?
l ean not believe that a Legislature
will ever meet in the Capital of Geor
gia to sacrifice Gen. John B. Gordon,
unless it is upon a graver charge than
has yet come before the public. To
cut down such a man lor such flimsy
a asons would be a pub
lic calamity. It would be
A DIRECT THUST
at all we have, in the jwtJ), been ac
istomed to hold sacre^PcI dear. 11

our sleeping dead. It would be a si
lent but practical declaration lo the
people of the North that we no longer
hold in esteem and reverence the men
who led our armies to battle.
I am a minister and wish tb take no
part in partisan politics, but I claim to
be a citizen of Georgia. I love her
people, her past, her traditions, and am
greatly interested in her future. The
defeat of Gen. Gordon at this time is
to me the saddest prospective event
I can conjecture. God grant that the
sober second sense of our people may
deliver us from witnessing it.
' J. W. Lee.
Atlanta, Oct. 14, 1890.
Is there an ex-Confederate sol
dier in Thomas county who followed
the fortunes of the “Lost Cause,” who
followed Gordon through storms of
shot and shell; who saw him lead Lis
columns into the very jaws of death;
who saw him kneel by dying soldiers
with a 1 the tenderness of a woman;
who saw hi i towering form with gleam
ing sword, dash along the lines, cheer
ing on the ragged, heroic men who
fought for Dixie; who saw him, whgn
the dark clouds of defeat gathered
arounl Appomattox; saw him as Lee’s
trusted right arm, with head erect,
eye undimmed, nerves unshaken,
cheering on the footsore, hall starved
heroes who had fought through the
war; saw him lead the last charge in
the grand drama of the bloodiest war
of modern times; is there a man
through whose veins yet runs pure
Southern blood, who will endorse the
movement being made to crush Gen.
Gordon? If there is we pity him
from our heart of hearts.
The State Fair.
We again call the attention of our
readers to the state fair which opens

Augusta appears to be getting all
the good things. Her latest is a cir
cus which is to winter there. This
reminds us of a promise made by
the winter, and Diek Grubb to spend
several weeks with Henry Cohen.
We shall probably do so this winter.
Of course the presence of a circus has
nothing to do with the time of the
visit.
