ing in this connection the following
from the Washington Post. Neither
article was written with any reference
to what the Transcript had said, bu.
was the voluntary expression Of honest
unbiased minds willing TO accord to
the South its just need Of praise. The
Post says:
There can be no doubt that the op-
portunity is the most suspicious the
Southern States have ever yet enjoyed.
Atlanta is the most typical Southern
city available for such purpose, hav-
ing the attributes of convenience, &C
feasibility and physical resource. 1t
is instinct with the spirit of liberal
and enlightened progress. Its people
are earnest, active, prosperous. The
community is distinctively American.
In the display which will be made at
Atlanta the visitor will see the South
at its best-the South as it really is
progressive, yet conservative; clannish,
yet intensely patriotic; shrewd, yet
hospitiable; impulsive and warm
hearted, yet resolute and indomitable
in the struggle for advancement. He
will see people who, with the largest
federation for the ideas of others, be-
| leve in their own customs and are
ready to sacrifice life itself in the
maintenance of their own schemes OF
civilization. And he will see land
of inexhaustible resource of scarcely
realized fertility.
No one who takes serious and in
telligent interest in the present welfare
and future prospects of his country
should fail to visit the Atlanta Expo
sition. 1t will be an experience Of
the utmost interest and value. Both
politically and industrially, the South
it destined to increase in importance
in the equation of our national devel.
opment.
Year by year, as its wealth accumu.
lates, its population multiplies, and it:
industries diversity, it will open itsel
to economic considerations and re-aligr
itself upon intelligent and ineligible
issues. Little by little the States will
assert their right of independent polit
ical judgment and unbiased polt lea
action, inch by inch, but always with
a steady and irresistible upward motion
they will mount to the level of true
freedom, real greatness and permanent
prosperity. And finally, with thei1
political emancipation consummatec
with their material resources fairly
preached, with the richest soil ano
the most wholesome climate IN the
world, and with the only strictly ma
tive population to be found in any
section of the country, the States nov
known as "the South will take thei
rightful place in the triumphant pro
cession of the American Union.
Atlanta is to be more than an expo
sition. 1t is to be both a prophec,
and pledge.

Lincoln's apprehensive distrust of
marriage is revealed in some extremely
interesting letters from the great Presi-

LEE AND GRANT.

DR.. +. A. Macon has handed us a
copy of Self Culture, ga Magazine Of
knowledge, devoted to the interests of
the Home University League" pub
lished in Chicago, il which we find
the following question and answer.
The article speaks for itself and com
ing as it does from the pen of a north
ern man makes it all the more remark
able for its clear sighted and unbiased
opinion:
Which was the greater general. Grant
or Lee? Was Grant's success due to his
superiority as IL general?
We know no reason for denying to
either Grant or Lee greatness of the
first order. Both were men of super
lative quality. The father of Lee was
a favorite of President Washington.
He was known as mLight- Horse
Harry" He commanded the little
army of men which Washington
ordered out for the suppression of an
attempt in Western Pennsylvania to
revolt against the authority of the
Union. In his descent, therefore,
and not less i'll his personal char
acter, Lee was the peer of my histori-
cal character which this country has
produced. There is no reason to
doubt that he acted as conscientiously
as Washington himself did in leading
the Revolution, or as Patrick Henry
in Virginia, and Samuel Adams in
Massachusetts,, and others of the first
patriots of the Revolution did in, their
doubts about, or their opposition to the
adoption of, the National Constitution,
which made state rights subordinate
and which permitted the North in
1860 to insist on the paramount au,
thority of the Union. In stainless
honor, therefore, it seems impossible
not to award equal rank to both of the
consummate leaders on either side in
the war 1860 to 1865.
For comparison of their military
genius and conduct the history hardl,
affords anything decisive One grea
fact overshadows the whole field, anG
that is the greater weight of the
legions of the Union, with unquestion
ably equally desperate heroIsm or
both sides. We see not how any his,
torian, at even the remotest distance
OF future time, can recall the Colossa
memories ofGettysburg without shrink
ing from the task of disparaging tht
generalship of Lee, pitted there agains
Meade instead of Grant; and if W,
follow Lee and his beaten army t
their last stand, face TO face will
Grant there seems to be no escap,
from the fact, that the awful frown O
destiny and not the failure of1.ee CAV
to Grant the final triumph of tn
Union. That both were giants in thel
places and the strength of each, or tn
weakness, almost wholly the strength
or weakness of his cause, seems to b
the conclusion to which historiCa
study will be shut up the more the sub
ject is investigated.

THE BRIGGS CIGARETTE MACHINE
In view of its victorious fight again 81
the Bonsack Cigarette Machine Com
pany, the following reference to the
Briggs Cigarette machine, the in
vention of a North Carolinian, will
be read with interest. We copy from
the Winston Tobacco Journal:
The Briggs differs materially from
every other cigarette machine in the
market. 1t is smaller, SIMPLER,
speedier and better. Its capacity is
one hundred and fifty thousand day.
Instead of first making tobacco rod
and covering it with paper, the tobac-
CO is shaped and wrapped simultane-
ously and the cigarette is more like
the handmade product. 1t is the in
yention of Mr.. w. c. Briggs of this
city, and is owned and manufactured
by the Winston Cigarette Machine
Company who has spent large sums OF
money in perfecting it and in its pro-
lection. The manufacture of the
Briggs machine will be at once entered
into on large scale, and they will be
furnished to reputable firms anywhere.
