Ii virginians are always ready to pay
affectionate tribute to the name and
memory of General Titzhugh Lee. 1T

wise to have "F'itz Lee Day" before
the gates are finally closed.
/ Tuesday. the goth instant, Is the day
selected, and 1t should go down to
history as the big day. OF the expo
sition.
After an honorable career In war and
in peace. General Lee devoted the clos
ing years of his life to the Jamestown
Exposition, and never received dollar
for his services. The cxposition's cal
eildar would be incomplete indeed with
out "lTitz Leo Day" Itsconres late.
but lot it be case OF saving the best
for the last. Let it be o. rally day for
patriotic virginians. It is good
thing for virginians to rally around
the name of Lee. 1t is inspiring and
helpful. and does us honor.
Richmond especially should be thor
oughly and numerously represented on
"Titz Lee Day He was our friend,
and we were his friends. lie was al
ways "our Fitz" and we should make
his day at the exposition famous. The

A MESSAGE TO THE FARMERS.
The Mail, OF Anderson, S. c., in an
>rticle discussing finances, business and
crops, makes the following pointed OBJ
,ervations:
And speaking about holding cot
ton. we believe II is one of the first
principles of the Farmers Union,
which is back OF the movement. that
the man who holds his cotton for
better prices must first OF all take
care OF his obligations. This the
farmers must do II they want to res
tain public sympathy In the fight
they are making. If a farmer has
made debts due on the first OF No
tNember, or on any other day. he
should arrange for the payment OF
those debts If II is In his power to

ton that is his privilege, but he
should by all means pay his debts
while he is doing IT. Holding cotton

REGULATING THE SALOONS.

There are many conservative liquor
dealers in Richmond who are willing
to submit to reasonable regulation OF
the liquor traffic. and they will do we'll
to align themselves with those who
are working for tAe passage Of the
Dabney ordinance.
We also advise the anti-saloon forces
to accept the Dabney ordinance as a
compromise. 1t is conservative, and
yet it is a long step in the right direc-
ton. The main defect in It is that It
makes no provision to keep objectiona-
BILE saloons out Of the factory dis.
tricts. There are saloons in close
proximity TO factories which arc an
oftense, If not a menace, to women
and girls who work there. The or
dinance should provide for the closing
OF all such saloons, In the discretion
OF the court.
1t is bad enough for honest women
and girls to have to earn their. liveli-
hood in a. factory. Their lot is not
a happy one. They have to endure
many hardships, and sometimes they
are subjected to modification. The
Council should certainly protect then,
from neighboring saloons where gangs
OF disorderly white men and negroes
assemble to drink and carouse.

THOMAS WAS a sECEssIoNls1.

The statement has been made repeat
eddy that Rev. DR.. j. William Jones
had said that he had in his possession
a letter written by General George II.
Thomas which admits that at the time
of the secession Thomas applied for n
commission to enter the Confederate
service.
What DR.. Jones did say was that
when he was custodian of the papers
of the Southern Historical Society lie
had in his possession letter from
General Thomas applying for posi-.
ton in the Virginia Military Institute,
and which indicated that in the event
Of secession he would resign his posi-
ton in the United States Army and
return to his native State.
The full text OF that letter follows:
New York Hotel,
New York City, Feb. Is, 1851.

dent v. NJ. l.:

In. this letter. as also in a letter to
Governor Letcher, which we recently
published. General Chen Major) Thomas
clearly indicated that in the event Of
war between the North and the South
he would surrender his commission and
return to his native State. At the time
it was we'll known among his tntimates

friends in Virginia that he was a seccs-
