Jones with reference to school histories
of the late war The Times mas not

DR.. Jones or Of other Southern authors
who have prepared such histories There
rs much good material in them al. but
p. Is arlte as natural for the Southern
man 10 w-iie from the Southern stand
Dolnt as for tho Northern man TO write
from the Northern standpoint and all such
histories must necessarily De more or
less partisan What we would like to
gee is ID history for the schools that
would deal with Ire war ard IT'S causes
f.om an Impartial standpoint
Several days ago Tire South Carolina
Confederate veterans adopted the fol-
lowing.
whereas the subject OF text books for
use IN our public schools has been brought
10 the attention OF this meeting By the
Hon. o. =. Williams. eX-school commls-
sionor Of Coileton county. and having
heard read q clipping from Baltimore

Il was the sense Of the Army that no

TT WOULD 81 A DREADFUL BLUM
DER.

Every one recollects the facts involved
in the prosecution Of the New YORK
broker. T.. r. Chapman. When the wilson
tariff bill was upon its passage through
the Senate of the United states the entire
public believed. and had good reason
for believing. that it was held up by the
Sugar Trust. until that concern could
buy and bulldoze for such duties as suited
il. and the public also believed that GER
tain senators were taking advantage 'of
the inside information given them during
the hold-up. TO make money by speca-
lating IN Sugar Trust stock. The Senate
appointed committee. and ordered 1t TO
Investigate the facts Of this matter. MT
Chapman was a member OF a firm of New
York brokers, through whom the sus-
pected senators were believed TO have
operated. and he was summoned before
the Senate committee and asked questions
intended TO disclose what II any. trans

public has endorsed, and all histories IKE
it should be firmly excluded from the

Southern soldier as an iisurrectionist
and a traitor is to belle history. and what
we are after is tho whole truth, and
nothing but ,het tuth. southerners
should be careful. fnsrcforc not to go to
the other extreme. phe South Carolina
veterans are right b asking that the use
of all text bookJ 81 the McMaster's
stripe shall be pklSbiied in Southern
schools. but partisan histories by South
ern authors are io5bt discouraged. We
certainly prefer thelsbuthern author and
would encourage fhs use Of his books
IN Southern schools But first of ALL
we desire that the thldrcn Of the South
shall be taught the truth and not re-
nance. The facts should be presented
as they are without coloring them IN 'he
interest OF either side. 1t matters not
so much about the author as about the
book The partisan history Is worthless
and should be discarded. whether written
by n Northern or Southern author. Ihat'
IT seems to us, is the whole subject In
nut shell. Tho South IS not afraid OF the
facts; nothing can add so much to the
rccitude OF her cause and the glory OF her
achievements as the truth itself.

The Recent Holocaust in Paris Now Laid
at Their Doors.
CHICAGO, June 25.-The Post says
According to story which has reached
Chicago from Paris via Washington,
the terrible holocaust which wiped out
over 100 lives at the French capital,
May 4, was the work Of anarchists
thirsting for revenge on the upper
classes Of France.
1t is claimed that while the official
inquiry into the circumstances sur
rounding the catastrophe threw little
light on the cause of the fire, the secret
service department is working OH a clew
that points to an anarchist conspiracy
Of stupendous magnitude. 1t is said
the Paris detectives have not only salts
fed themselves that anarchists were at
the bottom Of the awful crime, but that
the leaders who planned it fed to
America as soon as they had seen with
what frightful success it had been exc
cuted.
1t is also asserted that several persons
are under arrest in Paris on the sus-
picion of knowing more about the affair
than they care to tell.
A member of the French legation at
Washington is said to be authority for
the story.
