The Libel Refuted.
Norfolk Eirginian-PilOt.

Norfolk EirginianPilOt.
A few days ago we took occasion
to expose the falsity of the statement
which had been formally put forth by
the Grand Army posts of Massachu-
sets to the effect that CAS- Robert E.
Lee never accepted the terms of am
nesty offered by General Grant, he
died not a citizen of the United States,
and that his statue, therefore, had no
right in the hall of honor"
We pointed to the Officialrecords in
which disprOOf of this libel might be
found and referred the defamers to
Senator Lodge and Mr. Charles Fran
els Adams as authorities who would
confirm the correctness of our denial.
Since then the Charlottesville Prog
ress has found a letter from General
Lee to General Beauregard dated in
the autumn of 1865, less than six
months after the downfall OF the Con-
federacy, which not only establishes
the fact that Lee sought restoration
to citizenship within q short time
after the door to amnesty was opened,
DuL ShOhS Ny NudU IlSu IuOUlEeS H6
was actuated in taking that step.
The following extract speaks for it
SELF
"After the surrender of the Southern
armies in April the revolution in the
opinions and feelings of the people
seemed so complete, and the return Of
the Southern States into the Union of
all the States so inevitable, that it
became, in my opinion, the duty of
every citizen, the contest being vir-
tually ended, to cease opposition and
place himself in a position to serve
the country. | therefore, upon the
PRONUNCIATION OF the proclamation OF
President Johnson of Doth of May,
which indicated his policy in the res
tOration OF peace, determined to COM
ply with its requirements, and ap-
piled on the 18th of June to be en-
braced within its provisions. have
not heard the result of my applica-
ton. Since then | have been elected
to the presidency of Washington Col
lege, and have entered upon the du-
ties OF the office in the hope of being
of some service to the noble youth of
the country"

The Party Fight in This State.
New bern Sun.

New DeTn GUN.
The Democratic party's chief dan
ger does not lie SO much in its for
midable foe-the Republican party
as it does in the petty sins committed
within the ranks of the party itself
the sins which do so easily beset us
1.-THE DemOcrats) namely-that of
creating factions within our party
just few months before an impor-
tant election in the State.
The Republican party in this State
we believe, is fighting harder for the
control of the political affairs of the
State than they have ever done be-
fore, and while we are as confident,
as our best Judgment will permit,
that the Democratic party is reason
ably safe and sound in State politics
1t is just as we'll for the party to be
on its guard. Let US remember that
the Republicans are tricky, and the
party is engineered by some of the
shrewdest and hungriest politicians
running at large-and their pie coun-
ter i'll the State is getting pretty
empty and the picnic season is now
upon them. Phere must be pickings
from somewhere.

SUCCESSFUL. DURHAM ENTER
PRISE.

The Durham Hosiery Mills owned
and operated by Gen. Julian S. Carr
and sons, already one OF the largest
and most successful enterprises OF
the kind in the country, is to be en-
larged to still greater proportions,
the capital stock being increased
from one hundred and fifty thousand
dollars to one million dollars. Be-
side the Durham Hosiery Mills, Nos.
l. 2, 3, + and ,, the Cars own SINH
lar plants at Chapel Hill, Goldsboro
and High Point, all modernly equip
ped and eminently successful, the
combined properties making the
owners the largest hosiery manufac-
turers in the United States if not i'll
the world.
Referring to the increase in the
capital stock of the Durham plant
the Durham Sun says:
OF the stock, eight hundred and
fifty thousand dollars is in common
stock, and one hundred and fifty
thousand in preferred six per cent.
stock, the majority of which has been
disposed of The eight hundred and
fifty thousand OF common stock is
owned by General and Mrs. ]. S. Carr
and family The plant as now con-
stituted is the largest hosiery mill in
the United States. The realty en-
braced within the various plants,
Durham, Chapel Hill, GOldsborO and
High Point, is all desirable and well
located. The physical conditions are
first class and up-to-date. The man
agement constitutes an organization
perhaps unequaled in the United
States. The officers are all young
men, college bred, intelligent and
highly connected who have learned
that a dollar means one hundred
cents; economical in their habits,
clean in their lives and prOverbial as
good workers who have proven their
worth by their works, by winning
success and today are reputed the
most successful hosiery men in the
country.
The organization employs two
thousand hands, and Durham hos
iery is as staple as Durham tobacco.

The News and Observer two years
ago in speaking of Mr.. Brown when
he declined to offer himself as a can
didate for Commissioner, though he
had been urged to do, gave its opin-
ion OF Mr.. Brown, and of his fitness
for the position, and it today repro
duces what it said then, this as fol-
lows:
MIR. Brown has been with the Com
mission since the old railroad com
mission was organized, and during
the seventeen years of his incumbency
as secretary and clerk, has been a
student OF railroad conditions as well
as most efficient servant of the
State in the performance of his duties
Although his eminently superior abil
tiles are recognized by the member,
OF the Commission, by the members
OF the Legislature, and by all whose
business has brought them in contact
with the work of the Commission
comparatively few people know either
the service rendered or the mastery
required OF the most technical brancl
OF governmental administration by
this gentleman, who-it is not too
much to state-is actually the bes
qualified man in North Carolina fOl
the position.
