WHY REUNIONS?

The yearly reunions of Confederate
important event of the year. The thin
line of gray diminishes every year
but the reunions are more numerous
and more enjoyed and more illustra-
tive of high deeds of chivalry. 1t is a
pity that every county does not, as does
Arson, hold a reunion upon a day GER
tain during every Summer. 1t is not
only a good thing for the veterans to
come together and swap experiences
but it is the best instruction in pa
riotism that can be obtained for the
boys of the country. There is more
power to make lasting impressions in
an armless sleeve the boy can see and
in the story of heroism simply told by
q neighbor who showed high courage
on the field of battle than in all the
histories or biographies that have been
written. Every boy must have hero
in flesh and blood-give him one in
his own neighborhood so that he may
learn that herosm is not something
to read about in knights, but is a
virtue found often in the man in the
humblest walk of life-attainable in
the poorest condition or humblest
sphere.
At the recent Confederate Reunion
in Louisville, the question of why the
Confederate soldiers hold reunions was
asked and answered by General Steph-
en- d. Lee, the commander. He said:
Sometimes the question is asked:
Why reunions? We have no pensions
to expect There is no political pre-
ference we can look for. We come
together because we love- the past, be-
cause our lives have been linked to-
gether by great experience, by the
richest, deepest experience that has
come to any generation of Americans;
by a common story so rich in heroism
in sacrifice. in patriotism, that every
thing else we remember grows cheap
when we think of the COnfederacy.
Out there is Appomattox," said Henry
w Grady. where the Lord God AL
mighty laid upon every. ragged gray
cap the sword of His imperishable
knighthood' Instead of the gray-caps,
see today only the gray-heads; but
the same knightly hearts are beating
still. When we meet together. we re-
new these great memories, these i'm
prishable friendships. The day is not
far distant when the burden of our
entertainment will no longer require
the famous hospitality of Louisville
when no magnificent auditorium
will be needed for the scattered and
venerable survivors; but, as long as
our days may be prolonged by reason
of strength, let us gather to renew
ties of the battlefield and to keep
alive the traditions which have made
the South so rich in honor"

Judge Moore has sentenced two
men, Rogers and Sorrell, TO JAN lot
thirty days for tampering with jurors
and the News and Observer says that
there is something rotten in wake
Evidently there is.
In the Haywood trial there were
numerous intimations that the jurors
had been "seen" by the defense. No
Juror seems in the case, to have re-
scented any improper approaches,
nevertheless. echoes from that trial
are to the effect that n most systematic
canvas and tampering were practlced.
Those insinuatiOns, followed by the
two men who in the Gattis-kllgo case
resented being "doctored,' however,
insidiously, make it apparent that
something is more than rotten IN
Wake. The biographers OF Rogers
and Sorrel who are now paying the
penalty of attempting to influence
jurors, do not lead one to the conclu-
sion that they were actuated by al
truistic motives, a desire to remove
an erroneous impression to which they
We're impelled as individuals on their
own volition.
1t seems to us that Judge Moore
should have made their punishment
so severe that both would have
"squealed' on those who prompted
them to attempt a prostitution of JUS
tice.
The jury fixer is a more contempt

Der; a more dastardly evil doer than
