Carolinians might celebrate the natal
day of Zebulon Baird Vance. But we
took pencil to note the anniversary
of the birth Of that eminent and most
meritorious southron, President Jeffer-
the 3rd of June, and we forgot 1t. 1t
should have been observed not only in
one state, but in all states. Georgia
observed it with some ceremony in
places. It has bee made a legal holi-
day. The Atlanta Constitution on the
day of the anniversary said with apt
ness of words and felicity of thought:
I'm Atlanta, as well as in other parts
of the state, the m Of Mr.. Davis
will be r~everently honored by his fell
low countrymen, n hundreds of peo-
pie will gather in the hall of the house
of representatives at h state capitol
to witness the impressive exercises
which will occur at hat place this af-
ternoon.
Without prejudice or bitterness
Georgians will today vie with each
other in showing their respect for the
nobility Of character which belonged
to the great leader who embodied in
his person the cause for which the
south commended in battle thirty-odd
years ago: and while they recognize
the fact that the cause which Mr.. Da-
Wis represented is dead forever, they
cherish the right to dwell in tender
ness upon the memories which it re-
calls. Lessons of patriotism as wide
as the domain of the republic may be
imbibed from the inspirations which
this day brings; for the life of Mr.. Da-
Wis teaches hat in the willingness of
Americans to suffer and to die for prin-
ciple there lies the pledge of victories
in the conflicts which are yet to come"
However much man may sincerely
desire a genuine reconstruction Of the
Union, the cease of all sectional an
tagonism, h principles for which the
south suffered and battled so bravely,
and which so fired the great and noble
spirit Of the leader, the able President.
are immortal. for they constitute the
very bed rock of independence, liberty
and constitutional government. The de-
partures from the principles that nave
marked the trend of the United States
government since the great war nave
been of a kind to awaken very great
fear on the part Of close observers of
passing events and faithful students
of political history. There is a fatal re-
action in the north against the old
fundamentals, and such a growth of
an alien and destructive sentiment as
to threaten the foundations of the very
government Of the wise forefathers and
substitute a system full of peril and
corrupt throughout. Let us advise all
s%outhrons to read carefully-nay, to
study, the address Of Hon J. L. M. Cur
ry, Ii. D., formerly of Alabama, de-
livered on the 4th of July, 1898, before
the university of Chicago. Altogether
it is the most important and impressive
production for delivery tina we nave
read in a decade. It's title is-"Princi-
pies, ~Utterances, n Acts of John c.
Calhoun, Promotive of the True Union
of the States" 1t is the production of
a statesman, of a man of lofty ideals
and sound political and personal NOR
atty.
