ATLANTA'S LAST CRAZE,

New South Cranks Who Would Hoaor
Gen. McPhersOn Rather Than Gen Lee
From the Abbcvihe, S. C., Medium.
Atlanta is beating her own record in bI J.
ding for the favor of the Yankees In times
past We described her ovation to General
Miles. the jailer of Jefferson Davis. and two
weeks later we referred to the laudation of
Ruger. The latest from the Gate City is
that an effort Is being made to change the
name OF Lee street to Mcpherson avenue
to wipe out any recollection of Robert e.
Lee, ard honor the memory of General Nc
Pherson. who was with Sherman, and was
killed near Atlanta in 1854.
Another incident deserves mention. Last
week the negroes had a grand revival me.t-
Ing at the tabernacle. a place prepared for
Just such demonstrations. Nine thousand
persons attended the services. Three thou
sand of these were white. When the negro
preacher called on the mourners, white and
black mixed. they went forward TO shake
tie preachers hand, and shouting with
great vigor.
We cannot understand what profit there
is In any such things for the Atlanta peo-
pie. There was no need for speci1l hon
ors to Miles. The retirement OF Ruger
might have been mentioned as an item of
news, but there was no necessity for COL
umns Of commendation. Some other sire ct
might be named for Mcpherson, and the
city would not lose a dollar in trade he
cause q small street bears the honored
rame of Lee. The white people might have
got religion" In their own churches with-
out fntruding upon the colored people

1t needed but slight combing to dress it.
The skeleton was hastily looked over, and
