Not independence but inter-indepcnd

In an editorial in The State oS July

Tie suspicion Of the State IS well found

wide scope us is the case with US, is III

The manner IN which South
ern papers are replying to the New
York Suns hilllngsgate about
Robert E. Lee and the so-called
'sHall Of Fame" is utterly absurd.
The paper or man does not exist
whose standingis sufficiently great
to give its words tie slighte st
weight, when they frame an at
tack upon the memory Of Ameri-
cas- greatest military. leader.
Hence the folly of southern
papers in feeling called upon to
"defend" such a man from such
attacks. Like the cause for which
he fought, he needs no defence. 1t
is q far cry from the depravity Of
mind that proYckes snch utteran-
ces as the Suns, to the just sense
of appreciationswh dictated the
following, from the New York
HeraId,a estimate at the time of
General Lees death, thirty years
ago, this month;
I'm him the military genius Of Amer
lea wassdeveloped to a greater extent
than ever before. In him all that was
pure and lofty in mind and purpose
found Judgement. Even as in the
days OF his triumph glory did not in
toxicate, 30 when the dark clouds
sFept over him Adversely did not de-
press. he conquered US. in mis-
fortune By the grand manner in which
he sustained himself, even as he daz-
zIed us 81 bic genius when the tramp
Of his soldiers rasonnded through the
valleys Of Virginia. .He came
nearer the ideal Of 3 soldier and Chris
tiah general than any man we can
think Of, for he was . greater soldier
than Havslock, and equally as tievouta
Christian. In his death our country has
lost a son Of whom she NIGH. well be
proud.

He was president of the Ameri-
can Social Science Association,

lngton. in May, his address was a
review of the negro question, in
the light of personal study. His
views were sensible, and, in conse-
quence, rank heresy to many in
his own section. His honest heart
could give expression to nothing
less than the truth, when he learned
it, and in the discussions and at
lacks which followed he easily
took care of his opinions.

appoint pension commissio ner
who "will be more satisfactory to
the old soldiers than the present
one, commits himself to a pol
icy, which, if he be elected, be
will most surely be called upon to

of Mr., Evans -. the rresent

that he has construed the pension

because his conscience has COM

What is the position of Green
vile, along this general line9
Its dependent attitude is pain
fully patent. No planter in Wash
ington county feels any greater
yearly soIicitude over the condi-
ton of the cotton crop. than is ex-
hibited by the Greenyille business
men. The crop dictates the size
Of the stock upon the shelves of
every store in the town, and upon
it depends the state of mind of
the factor and the banker.
For a town SO situated, there is
but one way by which it can real
ize its full measure of prosperity.
That is by anpreciating It's posi-
ton, and the fact that though the
man in the country may for time
have to resort for his money and
goods to The man in the town, this
state Of affairs must have an end.
And, through such an apprecia-
ton, the pursuit by business men
of such methods as will make of
the man from tho country afriend
of the town. How does it stand
today! Howdo the great majority
of the cotton planters of this I'M
mediate territory feel toward
GreenvllIe? Is. the feeling such
as to cause these men to wish to
continue business relations with
the town, after the necessity for
their doing 50 no longer exists!
Let the words and conduct of the
numerous planters who have
grown independent Of Greenville's
financial aid, during the past few
years, answer the question.
There must be some reason for
the almost uniform action of these
men; some explanation for the
undisputed fact that by the major
ity of them Greenville is regarded
as good place to call on when
necessity compete, and a good
place TO cut loose from as soon as
conditions permit.
If any Die iinagines that this
statement Is oyerdrawn, a few
DAYS spent in travelling through
The conbfrY win convince him of

Like everything Of the kind,
however, the remedy for such a
condition lies solely in the hands
Of those most directly affected by

probably no one else should make
