The Daughters Of the Confederacy offered
prize for the best essay on Robert E. Lee. "A
young lady of Minnesota bore off the honors.
President Edwin A. Alderman, of the Univer-
stv of Virginia, and Prof. c. A. Smith, of the
University Of North Carolina, were two of
three judges who passed upon the merits of
the competing essays, and they now find them
selves in hot water. Certain bellgerent editors
of the Sunny South have even gone to the
length of demanding that President Alderman
resign his Presidency of the L. of V.
What is the row about?
Why, this Minnesota girl used the words,
''he was traitor" in referring to General Lee.
We have not had the pleasure of reading the
