from our esteemed president, Mrs.

The train that carried Echoes away
brought two messages intended for
that issue that missed connection,
caused by delayed trains. We are all
pleased that the president of the
Portia club should so readily grant
the request made to all club presi-

been one of the most faithful friends
Of Echoes since 1t became the Off

THE CONFEDERATE SOLDIER HON.
 CRED.

The present era of restored frater- has never found a more significant ex- pression than in the unveiling of the handsome statue to General Stephen D. Lee on the field at Vicksburg. That bloody field where so many Confeder- ates and Federals gave up their lives, is now a National Park, owned by the Federal Government, beautified, kept and cared for by its agents. On prop erty of the Federal Government, un- der the direction of it's agents mon ument is erected to the honor and glory of the Confederate General, who probably won more distinction in that fight than any other man and whose troops caused the greatest loss to the Federal army
 If the incident could be more signlh- cant 1t was made SO by the presence of General Frederick D. Grant son of the great Federal leader who command ed at Vicksburg. The younger Grant was himself a boy at that fight and sustained a slight wound. Neither he nor his father in the desperate fight ing around Vicksburg could have had the spirit of prophecy to look ahead to this time when even the North would be proud of the valor of Con- federates and when Confederate soldiers would themselves pay honor to the men they fought so well and so fercely. Assured1y no man could have dreamed of the day when the fighting Confederates would have grown frantic with enthusiasm in their greeting of the son of Ulysses s. Grant.
 Times pass and changes come. Steph- eu n. Lee, the famous fighting Gem eral of the Confederates at Vicksburg. has his monument on that spot which years of the future. The son of his op- ponent pays tribute to him and the government of the United States looks on approvingly
 To every man who wore the gray and followed the stars and bars the incident should bring a deep and ahld- ing satisfaction. For it is eloquent proof that even his former enemies have cleared his name of the charge of treason and have given him credit for risklng his life on the field of bat tie for his principles and his honor. Even in the North he is a traitor no

 We might as well face the facts. When We compute the rent of the nu- merous places where liquor IS sold, tors and bar tenders, and to that ths incidental expenses and the cost Of the liquors sold, IL will be seen at once that m order to carry on so immense a bus mess, somebody else besides the bar keeper Is responsible for the fact that whiskey is sold here contrary 10 law. II goes without saying that whenever than they love liquor, patriotism bet ter than pap, and pat ir.anhood above money, there will be soine hope of Q change in the situation---a change that will be permanent.

 At Luxor, in Upper Egypt, the health seeker who has eliminated part of his rheumatism by bathing at Helouan or climbing Cheops, finds a warmer. drier climate. and more monuments to explore. He takes his tonic while ex- ploring Theoes or musing upon the grandeur of the past before the temple of Karnax at Assouan.

If he is master of the art of travelling by easy stages, and en- joys travel sufficiently not to insist upon the shortest schedule between two points. he may spend month or two exploring the Nile In a "fahabeah." a sail boat sufficiently archaic constantly to remind him that he is in the land of the Pharaohs.

But opthal- mic hospitals are doing rruch toward aiding the afflicted. and medical ses- ence is gradually overcoming opposi- ton.
 Although British occupation has brought to b2ar upon the public health of the country, modern medical meth ods, certain amount of sanitation. and preventive measures against plague, much remains to be done.

- ~ CARELESS SHOT HARMS.

The Selma Times, through careless ness or Ignorance declares that all the Montgomery papers ignored the brutal attack of crowd on the two Law and Order League detectives, and planting itself upon this error proceeds to read an excited lecture to papers so re- creant in their duty. That would be allowed to pass but The Times in its rather extensive editorial puts forward so many ,nuendoes, and advances so many more of less yelled charges of improper influence, which have caused the Montgomery papers to keep silent and close their columns that we feel impelled to draw attention to the glar- ing error in which The Times permit ted itself to fall. The one impression gained by reading of The Times ed itoriai is that not one of the Mont gomery papers dared raise a voice against the fragrant violation of the law, because improper influences had bribed or bulldozed the press of the city.
 The Times is in error when 1t says that all the Montgomery papers were silent and were the only papers which refrained from denouncing the out rage. The Advertiser does not propose to bear any part whatever of this wholesale condemnation. The Adver- tiser was the first paper to denounca the outrage in an editorial under the title Brutal Violation of the Law" The editorial was as strong as the English language could make it. It was written within an hour after the attack on the detectives and 1t appear- ed in the first issue of The Advertiser following the outrage. the first of many editorials upon the lawless incident.
 careless injury is sometimes as hurtful as an intentional injury.
