Was it not Pascal who said that if
Cleopatra's nose had been an inch
longer or shorter it might have
changed the course of historya Very
likely, inasmuch as history is moth
ing under the sun but a tale about
vast numbers Of people. And what
alters the direction of one life may
easily affect millions. You have, no
doubt, beard tho story about the
Earl Of Witshire's dog. It was at
the time the divorce of Horny VIII
was under discussion at Rome.
Things were progressing favorably,
when tho pontiff, at the close Of the
audience, put on his foot to be
kissed by the carl, the dog-who had
followed his master into court-~bit
it. This 80 enraged the pope and
Mortified the officials present that the
negotiations were broken off. This
story may be true, or not, but we are
all aware that the course Of history
was changed about that time. Such
things merely illustrate the truism
that you neyor can judge OF the i'm
portance Of anything by tho size Of
it. A nod of the head or wink of
the eye does sometimes literally and
truly "speak Volumes" On tense
harpstring it needs only the touch Of
finger to elicit tone loud enough
to fill St. Paul's Cathedral; and Just
an accidental word or two, dropped
in passing conversation, may, oil un.
beknown to the parties speaking, be
a matter Of life or death to ono or
both of them.

PROF.. MARCuANT's OPINION.
Prof. Wallace Has Insulted Many
Patriots.

To the Editor OF The State:
Prof, Wallace thinks that publish.
ers and book agents are circulating
partisan literature for selfish and
not for patriotic purposes. If he
thinks so, he has right to say 80,
indeed it is his duty SO say 80. I do
not agree with Prof. Wallace. I
think his charges concerning the re.
cent meeting held in Richmond an
insult. His statement that the meet.
ing to be held in Nashville is under
the direction Of q hidden hand is
worse than an insult. Both of these
meetings are the fruit Of honest, pa
tient labor and thousands are asking
God to bless this fruit. If 7 could,
I would gladly attend the meeting
at Nashville.
Prof. Wallace classes writer's Of
history too high. 10 put school
book historians and poets in the
same class is nonsensical. A pleas
ing style in arithetic, grammar or
any other school book in tho ele-
ments; too much of it ruins the book.
The facts of history and only the
facts ought to be in school history.

| have used IN my classes ever
since they were published, Hausell's
two school histories. Mr.. Cham
bers, the author, writes from q south
ern standpoint. Both OF these books
are up to-date books. I am not a
genius in the art of teaching and
yet get fine results with these books.
Ii these books were in all OF our
southern schools thore would be no
very great cause of complaint. The
larger book ls too big. The matter
might be reduced or it might be put
into two volumes.
Prof. Wallace gives two sentences
from HanselPs larger book. One
would suppose that the sentences
were in the same paragraph. The
second sentence is not correct
quotation. This quotation is given
san example OF the style. In style,
including everything about style,
the two paragraphs from which
these sentences are taken are almost
faultless. 1t is not fair to quote an
author in this way.
My interest in school histories is
my interest in truth. NJ northern au-
thor can write school history suitable
for southern schools. All the 80.
called fair histories written in the
north are frauds -consum,nate, trans
parent frauds. l, for my part, am
thankful to Confederate generals,
Confederate veteran camps, Confed-
crate women and Confederate any
thing and everything for their inter
est in this matter. A true southern
or, woman or man, will never hurt
the south by writing her history.
The south has been hurt by not
having her true history written.
Read the answer to this question
in any school history written in the
north. Why did the southern States
secede from tho Unlon1 A fiat lie
will be the answerY What is the
answer? This: Because the
north broke the solemn contract
which had been made. IF such
books as Prof. Wallace recommends
be continued in use W shall soon be-
come like the north. A thing de-
voutly wished by some of our mis-
guided, poorly educated people.

Historians, like poets, are born,

mass of facts and have them put

ing than a novel by a real historian.
To my thinking, the bost writer OF
United States history is John Fiske.
He, by che way, has an excellent
school history, bnt it is better suited
for high schools than for the COM
mon or graded schools. I am not
personally interested in any author
or any history, but Eggleston's comes
nearest to what I think q school his
tory should be. 1t is attractive and
entertaining; the style is simple and
pleasing, and it is non partisan.
Before closing wish to say that
people who write about school his
tories ought to have an intelligent
idea Of the kind of history best suit
ed for children, and they ought to
have a practical and personal &C
quaintance with the histories that
are now rivals for adoption in the
public schools. Confederate gener-
ais and other veterans should not al
low themselves and their organiza-
tlons to be used to further the
schemes Of authors and publishers.
The way to inform oneself on this
subject is to get copies of the rival
histories and examine them calmly
and carefully, without prejudice and
without regard to where the author
lives; to examine with view to en-
couraging broad patriotism, not
sectional feelings, and then select

ton, the choice should fali upon a
southern author, would be among
the first to congratulate him. But
it is mighty poor patriotism and less
sense to choose eouthern school
book simply because it is southern.

Unusual Position OF Ono who Transaots His

to Southern Farmers

Mr.. John 7, 1oddey, formerly Of
North Carolina, but now one Of tho
lest known men on the cotton ex-

munication to the journal which
will be read with great interest. The
Journal cannot subscribe to all of

ure in printing them.
His position is very unusual one
especially for broker on 'chango
but the farmers will no doubt re-
cognize in him a friend, and his
courage is to be admired. Mr. Rod
dey writes as follows:
To the Editor Of the Journal:
No doubt the late civil war cost
the south many lives and on i'm
mense amount Of money, but in my
opinion since the war the south has
lost at least five times the amount
through exchanges on cotton; in fact
the amount Of money lost by tho
southern farmer and speculator dur
ing the past twenty five years by
having the price manipulated by
professional spectators will amount
to many millions Of dollars. believe

al operators, in order to accomplish
their ends, not only ruin tho indivi,
dual but also ruin many millions of
individuals by effecting markets
which effects them all, in ordor to
make their profits. Supply and do
mand for spot cotton does not effect
the price, but supply and demand
for futures establishes the prico.
For instance, every spot buyer
simply asks how is the future mark
ct, and if the future market is 10
points lower, he Immediately lowers
his limit equal to the drop i.
futures, and every farmer that
markets his cotton simply suffers
from the drop spectators cause.
In other words, spot buyers
and mill mon only have to break the
future market IN order to buy their
spots at whatever price they care to
fix, knowing absolutely that the
average farmer must sell on account
OF his poverty at least a portion of
his crop at whatever price they may
fix.

spinners never give themselves one
moments uneasiness about gottine
their supplies, in fact they simply
reason that they will got together,

which will put down tho price, and
as long as they continue to sell the
lower the price will be, and when
they get the price barely where the
farmer can exist they then buy their
