The JOURNAL believes 1.-THE trick

Hence, the true policy is advise your
people to go and see practically how
easy it is to vote for either party or for

MEMORIES OF APPoMATTox.
Major London Grows Reminiscent on
the Anniversary of Lees Surrender.

To-day is the tnlrJy-GlgnIn ANIL
versary of General Lees surrender at
Appomattox Court House. Those
who we're then infants in their moth
ers' arms are now middle-aged men
and women, and some of them have
grown children. The survivors of
those who were at the surrender are
now old men-the youngest being
nearly 60 years old. These two facts
forcibly remind us all of the length
of time that has elapsed since that
fateful Sunday morning on the 9th
of April, 1855, when General Lee sur
rendered the grand old Army of
Northern Virginia.
Notwithstanding the lapse of thir-
ty-eight years we remember the incl
dents # that day as wildly as if they
had occurred recently, nor will they
probably ever be effaced from the
memory of any who we're then pres
ent. There are two myths connected
with the surrender that many persons
still believe and will always be be-
lieved. One is that General Lee sur
rendered under an apple tree, and the
other is that General Grant refused
to accept his sword. There is no
truth whatever in the latter alleged
incident, for General Lee did not Of
fer his sword to Grant and nothing
whatever was said about it. The
foundation for the apple tree story
is that General Lee sat on some rails
at the root of an apple tree while
awaiting the arrival of General
Grant, and, the latter being delayed,
General Lee rode half a mile farther
to the Mclean house, where he and
Grant met, and arranged the terms
of surrender.
At the time of the surrender Gen
eral Lees soldiers were almost phys
ically exhausted. Almost without
any food and with but little sleep,
they had been marching and fighting
for a week. On the preceding Sun
day they had fought desperately be-
fore evacuating Petersburg and
Richmond, and during the interven-
ing week they had been marching al,
most continuously day and night
fighting at intervals nearly every day
and their chief food was parcheC
corn and not much of that. It seems
almost incredible that human beings
could endure such hardships, and yet
after such a week, exhausted as they
were, those gallant men just before
their surrender made as gallant {
charge and fought as bravely as they
had ever done!
The parole lists show that Genera
Lee surrendered 28,231 men and of
fcers, but of them only 1892 wer,
organized infantry with muskets anc
about 2,1OO cavalry. The other
were unarmed stragglers, who hac
come up since the halt of the army
and extra-duty and detailed men o
every description. The parole list
also show that North Carolina ha,
5,017 soldiers at Lees surrender. bu
not half of them had muskets, as ha
been enormously stated quite often
