SOUTHERN PROSPERITY.

We copy the following editorial from
the New York Tribune. 1t expresses good
ideas, plainly stated:
When the States lately in rebellion are
feterred to, we must not confound the
coeton-growing communities, which urged
the revolution. with the wheatproducing
belt that WAS drawn into the mischief So
much ado is made over the great Southern
staples, that we forget how small por-
ton of the South is devoted to sugar, rice
and cotton, and how large is the surface
where the chief crops are corn, wheat, oats
and tobacco. From returns printed on
another page, we learn that the wheat
crop there has been, on the whole, very
good. No judgment can be formed OF the
corn prospect, for, no matter how well IL
may look to-day, hot and dry July on
those shallow-plowed fields would scorch
and ruin the crop this year as it did last.
With regard to the great staple, the out
look now is cheerful as to quantity. The
London Shipping Gazette gives the follow
ing statement of the cotton supply:

1ntorestinr Sketch of Gen. Lees Life.

Robert e. Lee was born at Stratford, in 1906.
His family has been distinguished in Virginia
for two hundred years. Two of his grand
uncles were signers of the Declaration OF Inde-
pendence. His father was the famous Light
Horse Harry" of revolutionary fame, who serv-
ed terms in the Federal Congress and as Gov
crnor of Virginia, and whose first wife was also
Lee. Robert E. Lee was of the issue OF q
and his wife Anne, daughter of Charles Carter,
of Shirley. As, however he borrows no great
ness from his ancestry, but was himself the
"greatest of great line" we shall say no more
as to his family.
Robert E. Lee entered West Point Academy
in 1926, and graduated at the end Of the usual
term without having had demcrit mark. In
1929 he was appointed brevct second lieutcn.
ant and assigned to the corps of typographical
engineers. he served for several years in this

AN IMMORTAL CONFERENCE.-THE New
York World has this happily-conceived and
admirable paragraph:
"If the wandering death-bed utterances of
the two great Confederate chieftains, "Stone-
wall" Jackson and Robert E. Lee, may be con-
sidered as final upon the matter, then the late
Confederate General, a. P. Hill, who lost his
life at the closing battle of the war, must be
accepted by history as the most trusted coadiu-
tor of these eminent commanders. In his dy-
ing moments, Jackson exclaimed, Send A. P
at Lexington, General Lee, as the telegraph
states, his mind rcvcrting to the bloody events
of the war; 'once ordered his tent to be struck,
and, at another time, desired Hill to be sent
for Thus does it appear that, in the supreme
moments of the closing hours of those men
upon whose shoulders rested the heaviest bur-
dens of the war upon the side of the Confeder-
acy, came the utterance, born of delirium, but
more solemn for that reason, that stamps Cen
eral a.. p. Hill as a man whose presence was to
be desired, and whose fidelity was assured. No
higher compliment could be paid to his memo
ry than those parting words of Lee and Jack

A MOTHERS DEATH.-Few who have lost
their "first and dearest friend" can read the fol-
ing with unmoistened eyes:
Death comes an unsought guest to every
board, and at its spectral bidding some beloved
one goes forth to his mysterious home.
Time and philosophy may teach resignation
unto hearts made desolate by his coming but
they can never fill the vacancy therein, when
she that was our mother no longer casts halo
about our darkened hearth.
A mothers place-so loved, SO worshipped-
once empty must be forever so. A breast once
panged by mothers death, no medicine can
reach with healing.
No mind, however sacred, no heart, however
hardened, can forget the gentle being whose
suferings bcgot his life.
A mother is truly our guardian spirit upon
earth. Her goodness shields and protects she
walks with our infancy, our youth and mature
age-ever sheltering us with her absorbing love,
and expiating our many sins with her blessed
prayers.
And when Our mother, with all her burden Of
love, her angelic influence, her sanity care,
ceases her beauteous life, how much We lose of
home of happiness, of Heaven, no one can
reckon; for our mother was none but ours, and
we only can know how holy she was-how sa-
cred her memory must ever be.
But may we not borrow consolation from the
thought that our loss is Heavens gain; that
surely one angel watched over us, erasing with
grateful tears the records of our sin, and max
ing easy our path to her, with blessed and
blessing prayers?
