Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation
James Callaway In Macon Telegraph.
Lincoln hesitated a long while before
issuing his emancipation proclamation.
He delayed because he felt it wiih giv
ing license to murder the women and
children in Southern homes. Hence
the proclamation was designed to weak
en the military power of the Confeder
acy. and the moral purpose had nothing
to do with it, although the world has
given him credit for the moral purpose.
Lincoln's letter to Horace Greeley
throws light on the motive. He wrote:
“My controlling desire is to save the
Union; if I can save it by permitting
slavery to survive, I will do thut; if I
can save it by destroying slavery, 1 will
do that."
Wholesale emancipation was regarded
as the quickest way to end the war. It
was discussed in Lincoln's cabinet. It
was a great surprise to the whole
North when it had no effect on condi
tions in the South. The soldiers fought
as before. The negroes did not force
them to return homo to defend the wo
men and children, as was contemplated
by the Federal authorities.
The proclamation was a deliberate
war measure, expecting it to have such
effect upon the negroes as to compel
the soldiers to hasten home, each to
protect his home. Mr. Lincoln and the
North never understood the relations
of the old slaveholders and their domes
tics.
This relation wns not destroyed by
emancipation, but by the processes of
the Reconstruction measure, establish
ing negro “loyal leagues" in every
nook and corner of the black belt, un
der the auspices of the military and
freedmen's bureau. The negroes were
organized into u political party, de
tachcd from the whites and taught to
distrust them. Had the relations now
existing teen in existence at the turn
of Lincoln's proclamation the result
would have been as expected and de
sired by Lincoln and his cabinet.
That the expectation of Lincoln and
his cabinet was not realized is the
greatest tribute ever paid to the white
people of the Southern States. It is a
theme for the philosopher to meditate
upon, and for the historian to write into
the annals of future history.
Hut that which has drawn the South
ern people to Lincoln was his opposition
to the Reconstruction plans of the Thad
Stevens cabal of extreme radicals, the
leading ones being Hen Wade, Henry
W. -Davis and Charles Sumner.
Mr, Lincoln went to Richmond when
it fell to confer with Judge John A.
Campbell, whom Gen. Toombs regarded
as the ablest lawyer of the South,
about the best plans of restoration.
Mr.{Lincoln stood for immediate resto
ration, and but for his unfortunate as
sassination his policy would have been
followed, and the terms of su-render
agreed upon by Grant and Sherman
been carried out. These two generals
were familiar with Lincoln's views of
restoration, and Sherinun, especially,
embodied them in his articles of sur
render with Gen. Joe Johnston.
But Lincoln's assassination put in
control the Thad Stevens element. On
hearing of the assassination of Lincoln,
Gen. Howell Cobb, here in Macon, ex
claimed; "That is the greatest calami
ty that could have befallen the South
And so it proved.

The “Merrimac” and “Monitor”.
Macon Ti'ltitraph.
In the following letter to The Tele
graph an “old Confcd” gives the facts
as to the naval engagement between
the “Merrimac” and the "Monitor” in
Hampton Roads during the War Be
tween the States:
The "Merrimac" met the "Monitor”
in Hampton Roads on March it, after
having on the previous day, March 8,
sunk the "Cumberland,” captured and’
burned the "Congress," and the "Min
nesota" being aground when darkness
put an end to the battle. As previous
ly stated, the battle between the his
tone ironclads occurred on March band
lasted over three hours, the "Monitor”
retiring to shoal water near Fortress
Monroe where the "Merrimac” could
not reach her on account of her supe
rior draft, which was twenty-two feet.
The "Merrimac," after firing many
shots at thp "Minnesota," still aground,
and being unable to reach her or the
"Monitor” or induce her to renew the
engagement, returned to her anchor
age. On April 11 the "Merrimac"
again visited the scene of the former
engagement, captured with her con
sorts three small vessels, but was un
able to induce the "Monitor" to leave
her anchorage. Again on May 8, while
preparations for the evacuation of
Norfolk were being made, a fleet of
six vessels, led by the "Monitor, ” com
menced the bombardment of Sewall’s
Point. This lleet at the approach of
the "Merrimac” took to their heels
and sought safety under the guns of
Fortress Monroe, refusing to accept
the "Merrimac’s” challenge. As proof
of this statement, see report forwarded
to the British government by Com
mander W. N. W. Hewlett, V. C. of
II. B, M. S. "Rinuldo,” dated Fortress
Monroe, May 10, 1802. As all students
of history know, three days after the
Inst attempt of the "Merrimac" to
provoke an uttack she was blown up
by Commodore Talnntl, May 11, be
cause, on account of her twenty-iwo
feet draft, she could not be carried up
the James river.
That the "Merrimac" was neither
sunk nor even received serious injury
from the “Monitor," is further proven
by the report of Mr. Balentine, chair
man of the naval affairs c< mmittee,
made to the House of Representatives
on the 81st day of May, 1884, in which
report it is stated that not only did the
"Monitor” refuse to meet the "Merri
mac," but that so grave was the doubt
of her ability to successfully meet her
that orders were given her commander
by the President not to bring on an
engagement. As an additional proof
of the "Monitor’s" inability to success
fully meet the "Merrimac," 1 refer to
the letter of her commander, Lieut.
Jeffers, to Commodore Goldshorough,
dated May 22, 1802. published in the
War Records.
Trusting that my being an old Con
fed., Mr. Editor, is a sufficient excuse

j Dainty pantalettes or trouserettes
thut poke their lacy frills out beneath
the skirt bottom are likely to become a
popular adjunct to feminine toilets in
Atlanta this spring, according to ad
vance fashion comments, and already
a piec • of poetry has made its appear
ance on the subject, going something
like this:
' "Do my trousers hang straight, dear?”
That's the latest cry
1 You will hear these spring-like days
1 As the girls tlock by;
' For they are all wearing ’em;
It's the latest hobby;
I Father's pants will now tit Sue
I Just us well as Bobbie.
Obituafy.
Near the middle of the nineteenth
century, on the family plantation near
Newnan, was born John E. Robinson,
Hon of John Evans and Sarah Ramey
Robinson. He grew to boyhood with
his brother, Edwin, and with their play
fellows they had merry times on the
old plantation, fishing, hunting, and en
gaging in other outdoor sports dear to
boys. I'o better educate the large fam
ily the parents came to Newnan; and,
while the school djys went happily,
there came a rumor of war. But few
were afraid. Some wives and mothers
were anxious, hut whatever heartaches
and forebodings they suffered, they
were mutely endured for the glory of
war. This hoy was kept in school until
the last year, when our ranks became
so depleted the school boys were called
to arms. So John went to, the front,
with hosts of others. They were full of
hope and courage, and amid all the
weariness and hardships, jokes and fun
lightened their soldiering. John waB
twice wounded, and suffered imprison
ment. These hoys never knew they
were conquered, and they never were.
They only submitted to the riper judg
ment of our leaders. Father Ryan
wrote of the "Conqueted Banner,” but
it was an ever-living standard to them,
and is to-day. To them it will never be
furled until the last veteran in grey
lies beneath the sod. To many it is the
most beautiful banner the sun ever
shone upon—the tenderest colors that
ever shimmered in the breeze. It is in
our heart of hearts like a poem or a
song. It has, as it were, a spiritual life,
and, having known it, it is like a lost
love—sacred forevermore. A stranger
cannot know its beauty, nor an alien
its grandeur. So the noiseless foot
steps, the silent drumbeats, will ever
form battalions under the phantom ban
ner that will stir generations to come.
As the crusaders revolutionized the
world, so this cause they call "Lost”
has done much to shape the millions.
As that veteran in grey, John B.
Goodwyn, diverted from his subject one
Memorial Day and descanted on the
private soldier, taking John Robinson
for his pattern, so am I telling of the
host of school boys who went so brave
ly to defend their country, and an ex
ponent of this ;foung chivalry was John
Robinson. Ardent, affectionate in his
nature, the fires of youth burned long
in his heart. And as the years came
and went he was only beginning to real
ize that old ago was creeping on. But
eld age has been stayed, and he has en
tered upon eternal youth.
While yet young, after finishing his
education at Mercer University, he was
married to the love of his boyhood, Isa-
dore Burch, who survives him. Upon
his profession of faith in Christ he was
baptized in early life. He had no pious
aspect, but the Hand that once held
him saved him from his human faults
and foibles. The whole need not a phy
sician. He went in the springtime,
when nature had always called him to
sec the growing things—to plant the
fruitful seeds.
The bonds of human affection are so
interwoven, so complex, that death al
ways gives a painful shock to those
left to walk the solitary way —alone,
however numerous the company. The
wife, the two daughters and three
sons will sorely miss the quiet gentle
man—the husband and father.

In Memory of Mrs. J. L. McKoy.
When I received the sad news of the
death of Aunt Fannie McKoy I was
made to grieve. I thought a great deal
of this dear aunt, for she was so good
and kind to everyone, and to me
she had always been especially kind.
On many occasions she had manifested
her love and interest in me, and it was
always a pleusure to be a guest at her
home. She could never do enough for
ably filled that her ahsence will be the
more keenly felt. Surely no wife or
mother was ever more devoted to her
husband and children. Every interest of
the home was a part of her life and loy
alty. She was always doing something
for her family, and her constant devo
tion to each member of the home was
characteristic of this noble woman.
Her untimely death occurred on the
morning of April 20, 1915, after about
two weeks' illness. The funeral ser
vices were conducted at the First Bap
tist church in Newnan by her pastor,
Rev. F. J. Amis, assisted by Rev. E.
W. Stone. The interment was in the
city cemetery.
Aunt Fannie was 57 years of age, and
had for a number of years been a devo
ted member of the Baptist church. Her
Christian life was a benediction to the
many who knew her. A Christian life
like that lived by our aunt is a rich leg
acy to leave to her children, and may
they ever remember the earnest, conse
crated life of their godly mother.
Such lives of devotion and consecra
tion to the right and good are seldom
Been. May the life of our dear aunt,
filled with so many good deeds, inspire
all who loved her to emulate her exam
ple of love and kindness, and finally,
with her, to enter the home of the
biessed and the lard beyond the river
of life. F. Roy Almon.

Rainbow Hair.
When "rainbow hair” is all the rage,
I’m going to climb into a cage, and,
with a melancholy stare, observe the
strangers passing there. Oh, who
shall tell us what to think of girls
whose hair is coral pink? Baldheaded
men, with gaudy pride, like eggs at
Easter, will be dyed. And Uncle
Billy’s wooden limb—we’ll have to
stripe it up for him, till, as he walks, it
seems to be a barber pole upon a spree.
The evening gowns, cut rather low,
cosmetic tintings will not show. The
necks and shoulders, once so crude,
must all be gaudily tattooed. The
crowds will seem, when thus displayed,
like scrambled sunsets on parade. And
then—oh, lesd me to my cage! Let me
revert unto the age when ancestors of
yours and mine from branch to branch
swung down the line! Although smart
merit I ascribe to members of the
simian tribe, 'mongst them a place I’d
rather find than hit the pace with
humankind.
An unknown man was found dead in
the outskirts of a Kansas town re

The police judge fined the corpse $25

confiscated the gun. The local editor,

alty of this good woman. Many years
ago, when my mother died, Aunt Fan
nie's love was extended to my sisters
and to me in a beautiful and im
pressive manner. It was ever a labor
of love for her to help us in any way
she could. Her kindness of heart and
unselfish-love will never be forgotten
by us. And while we all grieve to give
her up and shall greatly miss her gen
tle, sweet ministrations of love, there is
the consolation and comfort of having
known and been the recipient of count
less benefits at her hands. I would
that she could have lived many years
