HARRIS & WILLIAMS
Statue of Lee Starts
President Taft has approved,
without comment, an opinion by
Attorney General Wickersham to
the effect that there is no provis
ion ot law by which the statue
of General Robert E, Lee. ii
Confederate uniform, can be re
moved from Statuary Hall in the
Capital at Washington.
In addition to deciding the
question on a purely legal basis
Mr. Wickersham argues the
matter from an ethical point of
view, declaring that Lee has
come to be regarded as typifying
all that was best io the cause to
which he gave his service and
the most loyal and unmurmuring
acceptance ot the complete over*
throw of that cause. That the
state of Virginia should desigi
nate him for that place in Status
ary Hall as one illustrious for
distinguished military service,
the Attorney General declares,
is only natural and would be un
der the reading of law.
Mr. Wickersham’s opinion
was called lorlh by protests to
the President from the depart’
ment of New York, Grand
Army of the Republic.
Harmony Reigns in
Farmers Union.
Peace reigns supreme in the
ranks of the Farmers Uaion of
the state ot Georgia. A. Caba-
niss, of Oglethorpe county, was
elected president of the organi
zation, John Lee retiring.
Investigations of the charges
against Mr. Lee at Union City
where state convention was held,
completely exonerated t h e
president.
J. T. McDaniel was re-elected
secretary and treasurer.
No action was taken on the
charges against R. F. Duckworth
and others. Mr. Duckworth is
editor of the Union News, pub
lished at Union City, and is also
chairman of the national legisla
ture committee which gathers in
Washington when Congress is
in session. The Union is the
lasgest organized body ot work
ing people in the world and is a
mighty force in the affairs of this
nation.
The farmers do not play poli
tics, but merely demand fair
play at the hands of the politi
cians, no matter to what party
they belong.
During the greater part of the
last session of Congress the
Union maintained a vigilance
committee in Washington to
watch the fate 01 measures of
interest to farmers, and they did
good and effective work.
Some of the things which the
Union has looked alter and will
continue to look alter are;
Gambling in farm products
stopped, establishment of parcels
post, the postals savings bank,
and other measures which they
contend would be beneficial to
them and not iD justice harmlul
to anyone else.
According to reports made to
the state convention, the Georgia
State Union is flourishing. The
co-operative enterprises at Union
City, the amalgamated ware
house system and the guano
plant are all flourishing, as is the
implement tactory.
The bed rock of the great
organization is co-operation, and
this has done wonders for the
farmers of the nation through
the union. The Union i
taking what has been so success
ful in other lines of endeavor
and transferiing it to its own
particular needs and applying it
to its own uses.
Its first efforts have been
successful. It is a a non politi
cal, non partisan body ot men
“who are aggressive and con
structive in the interest of a class
upon which the welfare o< the
nation hinges” are the words of
the Atlanta Georgian.
Every good citizen in Georgia
rejoioes over the success ot the
Union. May it \iever lose its
aggressiveness, and may its
members and officers never lose
sight of the great work it has to
perform.—Exchange.

ot this rail gives the Central a
splendid track all the way from
