As a Soldier.

The military operations Of Lee are
briefly but epigrammatically narrated
bv Prof. Shepherd. We think that
the only shadow on the perfection OF
Lee as a soldier Of the very hrst OF,
der was that he resembled Hannloal
rather than Alexander the Great, or
Ceasar. He knew how to win victories
and was unsurpassed in defensive
warfare, but did not always know
how to reap his triumphs. How much
he may have been thwarted Oy nl'
auxiliary Generals, or by what Shll-
1er. as translated by Coleridge, calls
"the unspiritual god-Clrcum-
stance" we may not venture to ora
cularly declare; but he seemed 10

snicuous in Jackson and even more

less Hood, with men like Cleburne at
his side, the Western Army OF tee
Confederacy would have matched IN
successful glory the triumphs OF the
Army Of Northern Virginia: But rol,

nothing else, while Lee lowered above

contemporaries in those moral quail

What Might Have Been.

Then, after lovingly tracing Lee
through his almost perfect course OF
husband, father, college president and
then to the heart-break Of his dlsso-
luton, Professor Shepherd comes to
that remarkable final chapter OF his
book treating Of the calamity which
befell the human race when Europe,
Asia and Africa,' plus Yankees, as
DR.. Brickeli, states it, overwhelmed
the physical south in arms. l under
stand that DR.. Uhler, in Baltimore,
chiefly because of this chapter, refus-
ed to let Prof. Shepherds extraord7-
nary work have entrance to publlc
library. This was prodigious blum
der, like the exclusion of the state OF
Brutus from the Roman procession.

ber all the more Of Jefferson DAVIS

Prof. Shepherds final summing up
and have, in my own poor way, for
wears. fee5ly expressed what he tor
nulates, though speculatively, with a
"pomp of purple words'' and verac-
ous eloquent. The one ar
gument in OPPOSITION to his
thesis is that as God per-
mitted the overthrow Of the Confed-
eracy in arms, therefore it is a r1gh-
teous verdict. This is mere fallaey,
although Frederick the Great SAID
that "mighty battles were fought BE-
vond the stars" God does not take
awav our free will; He even allows
His own Church, at times, to suffer
apparent demolition. In the case OF
the Confederacy, ominous warnings
are given at this day that the FEEDER
al Union, the Union Of the Fathers,
instead Of being preserved, has been
or is on the road to destruc-
ton: that negroes, instead Of being
benefited by emancipation, following
freedom, are being physically and

too much on the miracles Ct valor they
could perform when he ordered the

SEASONS OF Cosby sulL DING
Committee Tells why $40, 600 5u Id
ing Required

The great success that the Y. M. c.
A. movement has met with is source
of pride for every citizen of Americas.
Wherever and whenever a canvass is
launched within the state of Georgis
| the enterprise and push that was shown
by the people of Americas will be
| mentioned.
| And it will help to establish the
metropolis of Southwest Georgia as a
wide awake, hustling city.
AS little as some may think, the pub
lie spirit manifested by the people has
already been an important factor in de-
! termining the citizenship of one val
liable newcomer to Americas.
While some think that the Y. NJ. c..
A. committee is asking the people to
put too much money into this building,
this opinion is due largely to the fact
that these people have not carefully in
vestigated the needs Of modern
Young Mens's Christian Association
building.
Where ever you go one will find al
most without exception that the Y. NJ
c. A. buildings are overflowing with
boys and young men, and that many
would like to join but that the Associ-
alton buildings are too small to accom-
modate them.
This is the case in Mobile, Columbus,
New Orleans, and wherever they have
modern Association building. So the
people of Amerlcus need not fear that
they will build too large. On the con-
trary, they must build large enough.
1t is important to have the top floor
taken up with domitOries that can be
rented out by the month, so that the
association will receive a regular in
come from these rooms in addition to
the membership fees that comes in an
nually.
This income from the dormitories
helps to make the membership so
small that any boy, no matter how
poor, who really wants to join can pay

knowledge which we have of the fat

Petronius Arbiter, who tells us that
they became fat by sleeping.
He also tells us that the best sauce
to eat with dormouse is a mixture of
poppy seed and honey, mixture which
probably had the merit Of inducing
sleep after a meal.

In the time Of Augustus Caesar
books in the form of papyrus rolls,
copied by oyerworked and underpaid
slaves from the authors original
manuscript, were abundant and aston
ishingly cheap. Horace hints in one of
his epistles that his works were being
pirated and sold so cheap that they
were getting into the hands of the rab-
BILE and becoming schoolbooks. Mar
tial, in one of his epigrams, says that
a copy of his Thirteenth book may be
bought for nummi about 10 cents,
and that if Tryphon, the bookseller,
should sell it at 2 nummi he would
still get profit. Both Horace and
Martial convey the idea that their pub
fishers occasionally put out larger edi-
tons than could be sold In the mat
