Portrait of Hon. John Howe Peyton.

Our readers will recall an interesting CORE
spondence two years ago, between Judge John
w. Stout and Col. j. L. Peyton in which
Judge Stout expressed his own desire and that
of the people of Augusta that portrait of Col
Peyton's distinguished father, Hon. John
Howe Peyton, should be placed in the County
Court House, and Col. Peyton's reply saying
he would have such portrait painted for this
purpose. This he has done, Through Mr.. E.
Berkeley of Staunton), by prominent New
York artist. The portrait will be or exhibit
ton for few days at Dr. Wayt & Bros, Main
street; and is similar to the one presented to
Washington and Lee University, by Col P. at
the special request of the rector and visitors of
that famous seat of learning.
Mr.. Peyton belonged to past generation of
eminent jurists, and there is not now living a
member of the Staunton bar who remembers
him in his prime, but all know that he was
held to be great lawyer in an age of great
lawyers and the greatest criminal lawyer and
public prosecutor Virginia has ever produced.
From 1903 to 1915 he was Commonwealth s
attorney for this county and district, resign
ing only when elected to the Senate over so
years ago. Thus terminated his splendid pro-
fessional career, which was crowned with
triumphant success in competition with the
most accomplished lawyers of the age. Let us
congratulate ourselves that a portrait Of this
great and good man will henceforth embellish
the walls of our courthouse.

Lee Camp" at Richmond will Reply.


The Chicago So. A. r. with the
view of making political capital out of
the reply, asked the Lee Camp of Con-
federate veterans, at Richmond,
whether they approved of the senti
ments expressed by Rev. Mr.. Cave in
his address at the unwilling of the
monument to the soldiers AMI sailors
of the Confederacy. 1t was question
with the Camp, in which there was
some difference of opinion, whether
the question should be treated with
Silence AS an act of impertinence, or
should be replied to. At meeting
held last week. the Camp voted to en-
dorse the address, and appointed
committee to draft a reply. In the
main, as the I1dec- appeal says. Mr..
Caves sentiments are those of the
Southern people, and we know of no
Southern man and Confederate soldier
who has the respect of his people who
would sneak out of the responsibility
of proclaiming his endorsement of
those sentiments. The fact that the
South for four years defended those
principles in one of the blOodiest wars
recorded in history ought to be con
vincing proof of it's faith in the virtue
Of its cause.
Our Northern friends do not appre
ciate the temper OF Southern senti-
ment, nor the sources from which it
derives it's inspiration. They find the
South happy, contented and peaceful
today, and therefore they conclude
that our people have either forgotten
the past or else ignore it as the naughty
boy does some escapade for which he
has been punished and of which he is
ashamed. Therefore, when the SUBJ
iect of the war and its issues is raised
we are expected to confess our guilt,
express contrition, and acknowledge
that there was no justification for the
position which we took in the days
that preceded the awful tragedy of
1876. But there never hasbeen and
there never will be any such sentiment
as this in the South.
The South appealed to the arbitra
ment of arms and it was defeated. 1t
gave it's word of honor that it accept
ed the results and would never make
any further appeal to arms to establish
its contention. 1t has kept its word
and it will always keep its word, be
cause as the years pass away ana the
war becomes more memory of the
past, it realizes that the union is best
foi all, and that a division of the Uni
ted States into separate governments
and republics would be disastrous and,
in fact, an impossibility. It is in the
union now to stay as much Of its own
choice as from the results of the war,
and it will remain in the union and
contribute to it's greatness and defend
it until time shall be no more. 1t
Yields to no section in it's devotion to
the common welfare of the United
States and Of its devotion to one re-
public. one government, one country,
one people.
But the South is loyal to the men
who died for it. and it believes that
the principles for which they fought
were right and just under the condi-
tions which then confronted them.
This is the position of the South now
and will be as long as there is a true
Southern man "unawed by influence
and unbought by gain"

whose ages range from one to eight
years, as the result of quarrel with
her husband, yesterday hanged the lit
tie ones to the bedposts in her chamber

necks dead in the room. Late at night
the woman was found hiding in the
