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.

Tbc tra .!!>■«■ T— “* **«• 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 for claiming so much of your val- l uablo space, l am very respectfully, H. M. Bryan. Talhotton, Ga., Nov. 13, 1914. 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. Newnan, Ga., May 1st. I. B. H. For a Torpid Liver. "1 have used Chamberlain’s Tablets off and on for the past six years when ever my liver shows signs of being in a disordered condition. They have al ways acted quickly and given me the desired relief," writes Mrs. F. H. Ttubus, Springville, N. Y. For sale by all dealers. 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.

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 cently. A revolver and $100 in cash were found on his person. The coroner held an inquest, and it took $75 to de fray the expenses and bury the body. The police judge fined the corpse $25 for carrying concealed weapons and confiscated the gun. The local editor, who published the obituary, got noth ing.—Altoona (Kan.) Tribune. . i j her friends and relatives, and to be j with her and see the great interest she manifested in the welfare of those about her attested to the love and loy 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 longer and exerted a stronger and wider influence for good upo* those she loved and who loved her. Her place in the home was always so well and Won’t you let us prove to you by ooe trial that’there is no finish that will give vou a lasting satisfaction like DAVIS' VARNISH STAIN in point of luster, heautv, hardness, and. above all, wkak?
