The MCGUIRE Monument.

The proper place for the proposed
monument to the late DR.. Hunter
Mcclure is the ground near the
jackson statue in the Capitol
grounds. He was the most intimate
friend of Stonewall jackson, and
these two men will always be associ.
ated together; and this is the most
suitable site that could be selected.
Will the Legislature permit il?
They certainly would, if the propriety
OF the permission is brought home to
them. DIR. Mcclure was not only
the most intimate friend of the great
Confederate Chieftaln, and the great.
est surgeon in the Confederate Army.
but be was the invincible champion
of Southern history.
1t is due to his efforts that the
poisonous lies of prejudiced histo.
rians are kept from Southern children
IN the public schools today. His
personal contributions to the history
OF the Civil War are the guaranty of
the preservation of the South's best
history. As result of his labors.
the public schools will teach Southern
children that Confederate soldiers
fought for Constitutional liberty:
that they struggled to uphold a
decision of the Supreme Court of the
United States; for hearth and home:
for principal and not for pay.
The Grand Camp of Confederate
Veterans of Virginia placed him in
charge of it's history committee. II.
did his work accurately aud nobly.
He substained all of the claims
and statements made by him in his
history reports, and though they
have attained National celebrity.
there is no Northern historian of
note who has dared controvert any of
his statements.
We say, place the monument in
the neighborhood of the Jackson
stature, not because DIR. Mcclure
was the most intimate friend of
Stonewall jackson, and the greatest
surgeon in the Confederate Army.
put because he started the movement
for fair and impartial histories in
Southern Schools, and to him will
belong the honor of preserving one
OF the fairast pages of Southern
history.
