To The Editor:
| The letter Of Mr.. A. Jackson Jr. in the
Nashville Daily American of The 7Ih Feb.
ruary, announces to the people of this
state, thatid trophy ofyalor is to be award
ed TO some one of her sons. The pccu-.
iarlyi high md delicate character Of this
bequest rcndersiit matter Of some mo.
mcnt what mode should we adopt 10 de-
signate that person, which, while it will
show The general appreciation Of his mer-s
IFS, will add 10 The value OF The memcn,o.
With n view ofcalling public attention to
this subject, Ills quite likely that some one
familiar wiiltIie timrs Of the war Of 1912
can promise the details OF all The circum-
stances attending tile presentation Of these
testimonials Of South Carolina feeling 10
Gen. ANDREW JACKSON. Mos, Of US are
not familiar with then, and know them on
ly'by certain rumors..
These testimonials afcr n series Of
years arc returned 10 us with request
that they. should be Transmitted 10 anolh-
cr, in the same spirit and for The same
mcritwhich gave them TO Gen. Jackson.
Every one must feel TINT the occasion is
one that touches sonsibly the pride Of The
soldier unl HE pride Of the cilizens.--
Should they reach any other dcstina-,
ton than the one pointed ont by free,
general andmpartinl public opinion. they
may crafty for n moment The vanity of
an individual, but must dim lie lusirc Of
every association connected with ihem
and blight that gem OF valor and sciiiisss
ment which the language Of tho hero in
The terms Of the bcqucst so strongly, as
sure us was tile wish Of bis heart, 10 per-.
pctnn,e in the land ofh;s nativity.
The associations connected with the
"vasc and the picture. when they shall
have returned 10 our borders are Of
character TO suppress every sentiment
OF jealousy and. individual parliality.-
Their possession by any one when all
have done well, will impose upon him Pc
culiar responsibilities which lhe feelings
OF soldier are alone alive 10. H..
