ment of the name Appomattox to Sur
render. The unanimous verdict was that
the change ought never to have been
made. and that the old name-the name
around which clings so much of gloom.
yet OF glory. for the South-ought to be
restored Immediately.
Many OF the veterans were also asked
for their opinion respecting the DIspatchs
proposition that the General Government
purchase the fed of Appomattox and
convert II into "A national park. General
Fitzhugh Lee. who had expressed himself
as most decidedly In favor OF restoration
Of the name Of Approximation. remarked
he, no one who was there has any reason
to be ashamed OF it-said that he would
have to ask n little time to think over the
park proposition.
CAPTAIN CUsSONS'S VIEWS:
Captain John Cussons said that we
might as well call Sharpsburg Skedaddle-
vile as call Appomattox Surrender. lie
was out and out opposed to the change
OF name that had been made. Captain
Cussons also said that he saw no objec-
ton to making Appomattox a national
park. IL any battlefield ought to be n
national park. why not Appomattox. the
scene OF the close OF the drama?
Judge George l.. Christion was opposed
to the change OF name, and wanted the
old name re-establIshed. He also ex-
pressed sympathy with the nationll-park
proposition.
Rev. DR.. j. William Jones was dead
against the change of name, and favored
the park idea.
Major Robert Stiles thought there was
no sense in the change of name. and
considered the national-park idea a good
ore.
Major jed. Hotchkiss wanted the name
OF Appomattox restored, and said the
park would eventually come. He heartily
endorsed such a movement.
AN INFAMOUS OUTRAGE.
Colonel John b. Cary said 1t was an
infamous outrage to change the name
Of Appomattox. He highly approved OF
the idea OF making the field national
park.
Captain Elicit said he voiced the senti-
ment OF Colonel Cary. Restore the
name." he added, "apd let US have the
park.
Captain r. b. Munford declared himself
as strongly opposed to the change. and
as heartily approving the park propo-
sltion.
General w lllldW II. IdlldteIro WIS
strenuously opposed 10 the change, and
saw no reason why the park should not
be established.
Major a. w. CARRIER said: "No, sir, |
don't want the name of AppomattoX
changed / am greatly IN favor of that
park idea, and think the government
should put II into execution"
Colonel r. r. w. Duke, Of Albemarle,
said: Il am In favor of changing the
name back to Appomattox, and making
a nice park there. | don't believe any
body on earth wants the place called Sur
render"
Captain Reeve said: "I think 1t would
be a shame to change the name OF APP
pomattox to Surrender. It is entirely
unnecessary, and ought not TO b. done.
/ rather like the idea Of having q gov
ernmental park there"
Judge r. G. Minor said: ut would
| be dsgraceful to change the name OF
Appomattox. The public-park scheme is
| a good one.'
