tho world will lose one Of the
finest imaginative minds which has
lent grace to its literature in

FRANK CHEArmAM BIyoUAo deserve
the sincere thanks Of all ex.Confederato
soldiers for their condemnation OF the
movement in New York and elsewhere to
beg aid for INDECENT and wounded Confed-
crates. In their resolution, which they
adopted unanimously, they acknowledged
that they fully appreciate any proper ex-
pressions OF sympathy from the Northern
people for needy Confederate soldiers, but
they emphasize the declaration that they
repudiate any effort directly or indirectly
to beg aid for them in the North. Colo.
mel S. I. Wilson in offering
this resolution said the action Of
the beggars for aid was the most dis
graceful and the only disgraceful thing
that Confederate soldiers had done before
or since the war;" and DIR. w. ]. McMur-
ray said that mo help had been asked in
the dark days OF scalawaggery and carpet
bagism, and now when the South was
getting on its feet il was certainly not adj
visable to seek rebuns and kicks in the
North. Every bivouac in the South ought
TO protest against such action"
