INACCURACIES AND MIsREPRE
SEN1ATIONS OF HISTORI-
CAL FACTS.

Either through mendacity Or woefu1
ignorance, chroniclers of so-called facts,
write OF the South, its traditions and its
memories with disregard Of truth
which is amazing.
There have been published so many
fragrant inaccuracies and misrepresenta-
tons by correspondents and authors and
historians % of the North, purporting
to relate incidents and facts concerning
the South, particularly during the Civil
War, that it would be impossible to blot
out these falsehoods in a lifetime, and
unfortunately many Of these are given
Icredence by publication in newspapers,
periodicals and magazines owned and
controlled. by Southern men.
One OF these recent and fragrant mis-
representations appeared in the Plea
yune of Sunday, May 20, and emanated
from Dexter Marshall, under the title OF
Living Generals Of the Civil War;"
which is copyrighted. Now, seriously,
how ridiculous is this copyright of an
objectionable, an inexcusable misrepre-
sentation of an individual, pretending to
write history.
Referring to Stonewall Jackson, this
copyrighted author declares that on July
|I9, 1865, General Jackson was defeated
at Canton by General Cyrus Busbey, an
'impossibility, since Stonewall Jackson
died on May 10, 1868, of wounds re-
ceived while accommodating at Chancel-
louisville, Va, being shot by mistake by
Confederates.
In giving explanation to this remark
liable ignorance of a would-be chronicler
of historical facts, the Picayune says:
LAS to the matter in question, it was
purchased and printed as : literature
which is licensed to disregard facts and
to create characters and incidents at
will, but to violate the honored grave of
one of the greatest generals in the
world in order to give some favorite the
glory of having defeated him in an I'M
possible battle, and that in the lifetime
of men who fought with and under the
great Stonewall and participated in his
grand victories. is an outrage even on
the extreme license that is allowed the
poet and the romancer.
And yet, this explanation is unsatis-
factory and is aggravating, since no
license should be tolerated in any mat
ter, poetical Or prose, which distorts
facts historical or are inaccurate or
false.
1t is the duty of Southern men and of
the Southern press to check all mac
curacies affecting their section, and
therefore no publisher, be it newspaper,
periodical or magazine, should enter
tain for publicity any matter which re-
fleets on the South and is not in keeping
with the records of facts as they are,
and therefore can not be controverted
even by falsehood or the misstatement
of any penny-a-liner.

THE POLL TAX REPEATING
CLAUSE.

One of the wisest and the best proyis-
ions enacted by the trainers of the Con
stitution of 1898 was the enactment OF
the poll tax qualification as requisite
to voting at any election held in the
State. In this enactment it is provided
that the Legislature elected in zoos
shall have authority to repeal or modify
the same"
To a class of individuals, fortunately
limited III number, the payment of the
1poll tax as requisite to citizenship is
odious, but notwithstanding all the dis
credit and all the efforts directed to its
amullment, with the people who favor
honest elections this provision has
grown into the fullest appreciation of
its merits
I Already, as in the past, the silent muir
nlurs of discomfort are being heard from
the class who have controlled the cleo
tons through frauds and whose power
for evil under the poll tax system is
limited.
1t will not be surprising if this class
should not attempt to have this law re-
pea1ed Or so modified that it shall be
virtually imperative and ineffective
against their political exploits in the
future, and therefore it devolves on the
people who stand for honest elections
and good government to be on guard.
Indeed there should be exacted from
every candidate for the General Assem-
bly, throughout the State a declaration
of his intent on this question, the i'm
portance of which it is not possible to
estimate.
No mar should be elected to the Gen
eral Assembly who will not pledge him
self TO, stand by the poll fax as it is.
Not only is it a producer of revenue
for the use of the public schools, but it
T is the greatest safeguard against fraud,

We are told that the backward
spring, the heavy rains and the de
structive insects, combined with the
constant trend upward in the price Of
all commodities, are putting the price
of wheat at such point that bread is
bound to rise-that we will have either
a higher priced loaf than we have to-
day or else a smaller loaf for the same
price.
At last the rising tide of costly liv-
ing has reached the danger mark, the
mark of grave danger to the party in
power 1t was high priced bread that
drove the system of protection from

bread that made England a free trade

that she will probably remain forever.

the people get used to it, but when
bread goes up-well, there seems to be
a sacredness about it. like the ark of

and live. The Republican party has
survived much, has faced much, has

Whether it be the trust magnate or
the green bug that puts up the price of
bread will make little difference to the

vote to GUST the party under whose ad-
ministration it became dear, reasoning
that if they claim the credit for the
bounty of nature they should take the
blame if she grows parsimonious.
