Mr., ROYALS SUCCESSOR.
Confederate Veterans Much Inter
Csted i'm the Question.

The Confederate Veterans are much in
terested m the question Of who will sue
coed Mr.. William L. Royal. as chairman
Of the History Committee, that gentleman
having positively declined to withdraw his
resignation. The appointment IS TO
be made by Col. John j. Williams. Of Win
chester. the Grand Commander, but, so
far as Is known he has not yet decided
upon any one Some Of the members OF
The Grand Camp, however, have in view a
gentleman who is said to be fully quail
led for the place IN every way being
thoroughly familiar with the events OF
the war. active and aggressive.
The name Of this gentleman has not
vet been made public, but will probably
be presented to Col. Williams for his con-
sideration in a few days. This will only
be done however in the event that the
person in question will agree to accept
the position should st be rendered him.
I'VE are well satisfied with the present
situation" said a prominent veteran
Yesterday, "but a great deal remains 10
be done We don't want to take any back
ward steps. The man at the head OF the
History Committee should Re like Mr..
Royal active, progressive and aggres-
sive"
Under the decision Of the State Board
Of Education the histories written by DR..
J. VIM. Jones, Mrs. Susan Pendieton Lee
and John FisRe are now on the list Of
public school books for four years. The
veterans object to Fiske's history in some
respects. but it is said that its author has
agreed in The next edition 70 modify and
erase certain passages so as TO meet the
views OF the Confederates.
Jones and Lees histories are acceptable
70 the veterans. but IL is admitted that
errors Of moro or less moment exist in
them. Their authors, however, have eN-
pressed a willingness 70 make changes
where It can be proven that they have
erred
The veterans are determined TO pursue
this matter until a history Is secured
and II Is 4 foregone conclusion that the
Grand Camp will have another interesting
discussion on the subject az is meeting
next year.
