I am gratified to see so many of the
United Confederate Veteran organiza-
tons giving a hearty endorsement to
the INDECENT Pension plank in Col. Es-
tills gubernatorial platform. In sew
eral states action has been taken sim
liar to that of the Georgia division.
and now comes Brig. Gen. w. H.
Jewell, of Orlando, Fla, of the Third
Brigade, u. C. V, and commends this
plank, which is in harmony with the
new pension law of Florida. In his r.
Z. Lee Birthday circular to the camps
of his brigade, among other sugges-
tons is this: Under the new state
pension law many applications are go
ing in. AS a rule these applications are
well deserving of this needed and well
merited assistance. But from rumors
which have reached these headquarters
camps are urged to exercise great care
than no unworthy application receives
their expressed or implied Endorsement.
Lock well to this, comrades" Gen.
Jewell is one of the most efficient bril-
gade commanders in the U. c. V. or
ganiZation, and his word of caution
will be heralded. Col. Estill has done
a good service with the veterans by
his strong advocacy of a liberal and
just pension for all INDECENT Confed-
crate soldiers or their widows. Having
himself served in both the army and
navy of the Confederacy, no man has
more tender feeling for the old SOL
dlers and sailors who have survived to
find themselves in need of pensions.
ANA should he become the commander
ln-chief of the army and navy of
Georgia, as its next Governor, their
interest viii be well cared for by him.

In noticing Col. McClure's article on
Gen. Robert e. Lee. in my last letter,
l rather hastily said it was readable
and reliable" meaning in a general
sense. corrected some errors, but
other critics have given the Times
Union and Citizen some corrections.
One of them says Col. Mcclure was in
error in stating that Gen. Lee was out
of Virginia only once after the war.
and that was on a summons to Wash
ington. This critic says Gen. Lee was a
visitor after the war to Col Cole. at
Orange Mills, on the ST. Johns river.
in Florida. 1 knew that Gen. Lee was
in Savannah after the war and it was
then and there that he said Gen. ]. Z.
Il. Stuart and Gen. Joe Wheeler were
the greatest cavalry commanders of
the Civil War. From Savannah,
think, Gen. Lee went to Cumberland
Island to visit the grave at Dungeon
ness, of his father. Gen. Henry Lee,
famous as Light Horse Harry Lee.
The other critic objects to Gen. Lee be-
ing called a defensive general only"
and a "half-hearted' supporter of the
Confederate cause. This was simply
Col. McClure's opinion, and is of very
little Importance.

hama press accepted as true the state
ment telegraphed from Washington,
ID. c.. that Rev. DIR. ]. L. M. Curry
was "a native of Virginia. Born III
Georgia and reared there until he was
a dozen years old, and a resident or
Alabama. for some thirty years, yet
both states seemed to have lost sight
of their share in his fame. 1t is true
that he went to Virginia after the
Civil War closed and became Bap-
fist preacher. Yet he could hardly be
called an acclimated Virginian HIS
father was Col. VIM. Curry, rich
Lincoln county, Georgia, planter who
served in the Legislature before his
removal in 1887. to Talladega, Ala.
But young Curry came back to the
University of Georgia for his finishing
education and then took a law course
at Harvard University However, he
became more. of a politician than law
yer, went 70 the Alabama Legislature
several times and then, in 1857
and 1859, was elected to Congress.
After Alabama seeded he was elected
to the Provisional and the First Con-
federate States Congress, but failed of
an election to the Second Congress.
Then it was, in 1864, that he entered
the Confederate Army as lieutenant
colonel of the Fifth Alabama Cavalry,
vice Lieut.. Col. j. NJ. Warren, re-
signed, which position he held until
the close of the war. 1t was natural
for him to be a preacher, a soldier and
a statesman, as well as a ripe scholar,
for his trple-plated name is Jabez
Lafayette Monroe Curry. In many
fields of high endeavor, in later years
he has honored Georgia, Alabama and
Virginia, and as general agent of the
great Peabody-Slater educational fund
he has won the undying gratitude of
the entire South. His distinguished
career as minister to Spain has brought
him his latest honor, that of this ma
tons representative at the Court of
Spain on the occasion of King Alton
/. SOS coming of age. DR.. Curry is a
good "all round" Southern man, full
of years and crowned with many
earthly honors, and Georgia should
not forget that he was born with her
borders.

The Ledger Monthly of New York
for January, has a charming love story
by Marguerite Tracy, entitled IAN
Annapolis 'Bilger.'" This term Bill
ger" is applied to a cadet at the United
States Naval Academy, who finally
fails in his latest exams" and is dis
missed" The authoress of the story
takes too dismal a view of the condi-
ton and prospects of such a cadet. l
can name many distinguished men in
all the professions and callings, some
of them men of rare ability and high
scholarship, who failed to graduate
at the Naval Academy or at the Mill
tary Academy at West Point. While
it may be true that a graduate of eth
er of these institutions, after years of
service in the army. or navy may be
somewhat untitled for the usual busi-
ness avocations, contend that a
young man-even a "Bilger"
from West Point or Annapolis ought
to be splendidly endowed for useful
ness and success in the world he en-
ters.
The writer of this story, however.
seems to lean to a different and darker
view of the subject, for she says: mot
unfrequently the 'Bilger' finds himself
thrown out upon a cold world which
does not understand him, and which
does not consider his naval training as
anything but an ornament. If he APP
plies for a business position, his neces-
sary account of himself is apt TO in
clude the mention that he lacks bust
ness training, because he has spent the
previous years at Annapolis. and then
the fact that he is a Bilger comes
out. and the man OF business is in
clined TO say that a man who was not
good enough for Uncle Sans service is
not good enough for his. And then
there Is the popular prejudice against
army and navy men, because they are
supposed 60 think a little better OF
army and navy men than OF the men
