He was born in the city of Charleston,
S. c., on Sept. %, 1888, and had nearly
reached his seventy-ffth birthday.
"He won the unique distinction of
earning the highest commentator in
each arm of the service, and so great
was the value placed on his ability by
the president of the Confederacy that. in
recommending his promotion from one
arm to another, Mr.. Davis expressed re-
greet that he could not serve in both, as
the position from which he was trans
ferred would feel the great loss of his
presence.
"Since the war, in addition to edu-
eating the minds of the youth of the
South, like his great namesake, he, as
was the case with his predecessor, bent
his efforts to healing the wounds left by
the conflict, and there is something pc.

death was brought about by his efforts
in this direction.

Honor.
New Orleans.-Although the greater
part of the day which witnessed the
death of Gen. Stephen D. Lee, command
er-in-chief of the United Confederate
Veterans, has been given up to mourn
ing throughout the entire South, the
close approach of the Birmingham re-
union has made it imperative in the
minds of many at the headquarters of
the veterans here that the choosing of
Gen. Lees successor should now be dis
cussed.
So far but three names have been con-
| sidered as possibilities. These are Gen.
w. A. Cabell of Dallas, Texas, command
ing the trans-Mississippi department of
the United Confederate Veterans, and
since the death of Gen. Lee, the lieu
tenant-general commanding the organiza-
ton; Gen. Clement A. Evans of Atlanta,
Ga, commanding the Army of Tennessee
department, and Gen. George w. Cor
don of Tennessee, commanding the Ten
hSoSCC ulNIolou VA ~ SA1lCu SoulCdCI-
ate Veterans.
All three of these officers held the
rank of brigadier-general in the Confed-
crate army, and according to precedence
in commission ranked in the foregoing
order.
Since the death of Gen. Lee there are
still living two officers who held COM
missions as Acknowledgements in the
Confederate army. These are Gen. Alex
ander P. Stewart of Tennessee and Gen.
Simon Bolivar Buckner of Kentucky.
Neither Gen. Stewart nor Gen. Buckner
have been able to participate actively in
the reunions and affairs of the United
Confederate Veterans as Gems. Cabell,
