Editor Of The Times:

Editor OF The Times:
Sir,-Confederate Memorial Dag is a
day set apart in our dear Southland in
memory Of the Confederate dead, to keep
alive in the hearts and minds of their
survivors. descendants and sympathizing
friends the gallantcy and patriotic de-
vction of : the noblest, bravest and best
men that ever fought and died for lib
erty.
They died for u.s. We should honor
their memory, defend their motives and
record their gallantry. This is the great
object Of Memorial Day. 1t is beauti-
full and sentimental duty we owe TO those
who "died for u.s."
In addition, it teaches our children and
children's children to follow our eN-
ample and continue the observance OF
Memorial Day.
I sometimes fear the day will come
when there will be none in our dear
Southland who will know the history of
our great struggle. or sympathize in the
sacrifices of their ancestry to achieve
our independence. Memorial Day obser-
yances will hand down to posterity the
brilliant deeds of the men and the heroine
sacrifices of the women of 1S61-'65; they
will keep before the minds of the young 6
men of this and future generations the
patriotism and great deeds of the illus
trious Lee and jackson and other good
and great Confederate leaders and slim.
ulate them to emulate their great. deeds
of patriotic heroism. These Memorial
Day services also teach US that with the
failure of our dear .'lost cause" came
the duty Of submission to the powers
that be- and the discharge of our duty
as citizens of the United States. They
will prove that the best Confederate SCI
.diers became after the war the best clti-
zens of the United States.
pray that the observance of Memorial
Day may never cease, and that It's les
sons may never be lost on our descend

sir.-All ages and all peoples have their

q Herofsm is not always measured by the
weight OF circumstances, nor by the ends
sought, even through sacrifice and olooa.
however great that sacrifice may De; oue
it is measured by the loftiness OF purpose
and the grandeur of the inspiration
which eleyates the soul to a sumIntt on
which the .burning bush Of duty con-
sumes life and makes death pleasure.
He who knows his duty Is wise man;
he who does his duty In defiance OF con-
sequences is q brave man. But no VINO

Editor Of The Times:
Sir,-There is much pathos in Memo

men are making their annual pilgrimage
to deck the graves of our heroic dead
manhood. men who died for their be-
loved Southland, and have no other re-
ward than our love and. tender recollec-
ton of that love they bore for their
homes and fresides, in the gigantic
drama of a war which for four years
shook the American continent and held
the attention of the world So long as
this beautiful memorial custom is con-
tinued. it will teach the generations OF
the future the story Of the matchless,
unfading and undying honor which the
Confederate soldier won.
The survivors of the great struggle
are but a handful. All around them are
the young people who have grown up

thirty-seven years since they We're COM
PEELED to lay it down. More than gem
Grafton have lived and died by laws of
nature.
People nave almost forgotten the great
war, even during the lifetime Of some
of it's survivors; have forgotten that
three and a half million of men were
soldiers and marshaled in hostile array;
that over one million Of men lost their
lives, and $1,000. 100000 of money was
spent and property lost; have forgotten
the devastation of our land, our burned
cities and destruction OF all property;
have forgotten the great social upheaval
in the freeing Of slaves.
We survivors are in the midst of new
generations. new duties, new RESPONSE
blities and in the eXactlng demands OF
the present we have little time to think
and talk of the past. In fact, my COM
rades. we are almost strangers, living

This is one occasion, however. when
1t is appropriate to recall some of the
plain facts of history for the informa-
ton of our children who are to take our
places They should know that our mo-

great civil strife the South was guided

WISH OF PRESIDENT M'KINLEY
WILL SOON BE FULFILLED

Editor of The Times:
Sir,-NIore and more the world is COM
ing to understand the South and what
she stood for so bravely and sc, fatally:
and more and more the pity and the
pathos of it all touches the heart of hui
nlanity. It will not be many years before
the wish of President Mckinley will find
its fulfilment in a full national tribute
t. the elemental manhood of the old
South. whose leaders and soldiers added
rev glory to the history of the Anglo
Saxon race.
cannot express myself more clearly
than the following quotations from the
speech of the hero of my new novel, THE
L.eopard's= Spots:
..Yes. I confess it," he continued: 1T
am in a sense narrow and provincial.
I love mine own people. Their past is
Erne; their future is a divine trust. I
hate the dishwater CT modern world cit
izsnship Race and race pride are the
ordinances Of life.

the South-the stolid. silent South. that
fer a generation has sneered at paper
made policies and scorned public opinion
Tie uth-old-fashioned. mediaeval, pro-
vl1.cial-worshipping the dead and raising
men rather than making money-famly
loving, home building, tradition ridden!
The South, cruel and cunning when fight
ing a treacherous foe. with brief volcanic
bursts of wrath and vengeance! The
South. generous and reckless, never know
ing her own interests, but living her own
life in her own way! Yes. love her.
On my soul are all her sins and virtues.
And with it all she is worthy to live.
The courage of the Celt. the nobility
of the Norman. the vigor of the Viking,
tie energy of the Angle. the tenacity of
the Saxon. the daring of the Dane. the
gallantry Of the Gaul the freedom of
the Frank, the earth hunger of the Ro-

yours by the lineal heritage of blood
