wealth of the entire United Stales
in 1880.
The Manufacturers Record of

has accomplished, and what it may

future. This special publication,

States, supplemented b y most
complete statistical summaries
?liowing the advancement made in
practically every important line of
endeavor, there are special articles
and letlers by outstanding men in
poiitioal and business life of the
country today.
In this publication President
Ceolid^e and many prominent
business leaders have given their
views on the future of the South.
Among the special articles deal*
fug broadly with the South's de

commerce of Soathorn ports has
(frown until tho foreign trade of
the South ia one of the groat fac

yeirs, 1910-1914, to over $1,459,
(XM).OOO for the three years, 1921

Equally as impressive is the
growth in Southern bauking as
told by D. R. Crissingor, Governor
?f the Federal Reserve Board. Mr,
Crissinger shows that the total
bank resources of tho South in
creased from $650,000.000 in 1880

ROBERT E. LEE AS H MAN
" Vanquished,
He was yet a victor.
To honor virtue is to honor him;
To reveionce wisdom is to do
him reverence.
In life he was a model for all who
live;
In death
He left a heritage to nil.
One such example is worth more
to earth
Than the stained triumphs of
ten thousand Caesars."
It is difficult to find suitable
words in which to speak of Lee.
He was so free from the faults
which so of leu mar the character |
of great men. He was without!
?nvy, jealousy, or covetousness; I
there was n* thing about him to
diminish or chill the respect,
which all men felt for him. He
was clothed with a natural digni-j
ly which could either repe! or in
vite as occasion might require. He
had a pleasant humor, could see |
the ludicrous side of things, and
could enjoy n joke. But even in
his lightest moods he was still the
cultivated gentleman, having that
just degree of reserve that suited
his high and responsible position.
His character was perfectly sim
ple; there were no fold? in it. It
was simple because guided by a
single principle. It is common to
say that this principle was duty,
but this is not the wbele truth.
Duty is faithfulness to obligation*
and is measured by obligation?
That which moulded General Lec'a
life was something more than duty
It was a fine soldierly instinct
that made him feel that it was
his business to devote his life and
powers to the accomplishment of
high impersonal ends. Duty is
the highest conception of Roman
stoicism; it was the ambition of
the Christian soldier to serve?
General Grant interpreted him
correotly when he said, "I knew
there was uo use to to urge him
to anything against his ideas of
right."
There was no hesitation about
Lee. When He had once formed
a plan the orders for its execution
were positive, decisive, and final.
The army which he so long com
manded is a witness for him. He
imbued it with his own spirit; it
reflected his energy and devotion.
The memory of Lee will pass
down the ages as representing
what is truest, bravest, aud no
blest in human life?a man who
feared and trusted God and serv
ed his generation.
