THE BLUE AND THE GRAY.

Atlanta, Ca, August 2O.-General
John B. Gordon, Communicated chief
of the United Confederate Veterans,
has prepared a reply to resolution
recently adopted by a camp Of Coined
crate Veterans at New Orleans. con-
demning the blue and gray reunion In
Atlanta, recommending that M more
similar reunions be held and protesting
against General Gordon accepting an
invitation to the reunion at Chicago.
The reply is as follows:
'Kirkwood, Ga. August 20.
ITO the Confederate Association of the
Army Of Tennessee:
''Comrades:-A resolution recently
adopted by your association, at the IN
stance Of General Chaleron, criticising
several acts or supposed acts Of mine,
entirely escaped my attention at the
time of it's appearance in the public
press and I have just seen 1t for the
first time. I understand this action
Of your association to mean formal
and public notice that you disapproVe
Of my participation IN the blue and
gray meeting which recently occurred
in Atlanta, and also that 1t means
formal and public protest by your as
ISOLATION against my acceptance Of an
Invitation extended to me by the Grand
Army of the Republic and by the ex-
ecutive committee Of the. citizens OF
Chicago.
1.-THE object of this reply to your reso-
lut1on, which you failed to send me, Is
not to call in question the right Of your
association to criticise any official act
Of mine which does not meet your ap-
prevail. I do wish. however, to state
that
my own conscience and my own con-
ception Of duty must be my guide in
the future as in the past.
LAS to the courteous and cordial In
vitation of both the G. A. r. and Of
the executive committee of Chicago
citizens I have to state that greatly
appreciated the compliment paid me
by that invitation, and the spirit which
prompted it. Circumstances, however,
rendered it impossible for me to accept,
and I SO notified the officers and COM
mittees nearly two months ago. But,
in this connection also. I wish to say
that I must be the judge now and
hereafter Of the prOpriety of accepting
invitations from any section Of the
country or any class Of my fellow
countrymen.
In order that there may be no pos
sible misunderstanding of my position
peat my sole guide must be my own
convictions of duty to the whole
country and to the Southern people.
whose glorious record in all the past,
whose traditions, dignity and honor
have endeaVored to defend and uphold
at all times in all sections and under
all conditions.
I'm conclusion. let it be definitely
understood that so long as Providence
tc n 1oh CHI
continue the efforts which I have made
FOR thirty years in the interest Of sec
tiOnal harmony and unity. Whatever
can do will assuredly be done for the
truth of history. for justice to the
South and to all sections, for fostering
our cherished memories, for the oblit-
GRAFTON of all sectional bitterness and
for the settlement of all sectional con-
troversies on a basis consistent with
the honor and the manhood and the
self-respect of all.

JUDGE RELY DEAR
Passed Away at the Residence of His
SOn-in-Law, in Halifax County.

NpSSAo4 ~ AAS A~TaAuLlcAA A.
Richmond, Va, August 20-Hon.
John w. Rely, resident Judge Of the
Supreme Court Of Appeals, died to-
night at the residence of his Son-in-
law, Henry H. Edmunds, at Houston,
Halifax county.
Judge RELY had been in poor health
more than a year. He had improved
during the Summer, but was recently
attacked with high fever which was
complicated with inf1ammatOry rheu-
matism His condition became desperate
yesterday. Judge Rely was 81 years
old. He was born in Jefferson county,
now West Virginia, and was educated
at Washington and Lee. He went into
the Confederate army and served in
the field until about two years before
the end Of the war, when he became
connected with the office of General
Cooper, the Adjutant-General Of the
Confederate States. He was on the staff
Of General Longstreet In the famous
campaign eliminating in the battle of
Gettysburg in 1863 and rose to the rank
of Lieutenant-Colqne taught school
for a short time after the war and then
read law with Judge William S. Barton,
of Fredericksburg, with whom he prac
ticed a few years before moving to
Halifax. adJOT IL4Sly enjoyed large
practice and was Commonwealth At
torney of Halifax for eighteen years
prior to his elevation to the Supreme
Court bench, January 1, 1895. With
Judges Burks and Staples he some
years ago made a revision Of the
statute laws Of the State into the code
of 1887. This work consumed three years
and was we'll done.
In 1867 Judge Rely married Miss En-
ma Darlington. daughter of Henry Car
ringtpn, of 1ngleside, Charlotte county.
He is survived by her and the following
children: Mrs. w. Holt Edmunds and
Mrs. Henry H. Eamunds, of Houston;
Mrs. Hamit Jordan, of Lynchburg;
Mr.. Henry C. Rely. a practicing lawyer
in the city of Richmond. and Mr.. John
w. Rely, Jr., who is under age. Judge
Rely was a devout Episcopalian and
his funeral will take place Wednesday
from ST. johns Church at Houston.

her vast untouched stores OF

her unclaimed opportunities fer
business investments of all kinds
North Carolina has much TO of

of dollars before the gates arc
