While Robert Z. Lee lives in every

ton of everything good that was, is, and
will be sacred to the south, holding a
foremost place among the defeated COM

places where the principal monuments
Of Lee may be found, and Of these the
recumbent statue over his resting place
at Lexington is the most famous
Lee and Washington.
If the presentation Of the statues OF
Washington and Lee takes place on the
22nd of February, another coincidence
of history will relate them Born in
the adjacent counties Of Westmoreland
and Stafford, related through the ties OF
marriage so direct that Lee inherited the
home where Washington wooed and won
his wife each led cause which was
sacrtd TO his people.
Later Lee became the president Of
the college founded through the patron
age of Washington, and his name was
added to the title OF the institution.
Then Virginia selected them as her most
distinguished sons, not more for their
splendid military records than for the
great examples Of pure, honorable and
self-sacrificing manhood which they be-
queathed to pOStertty.

JUST AvERTED CRASH

High Constable Wyatt and Street Cur
Barely Miss Each Other.
What came near being a serious ac-
cident was narrowly averted yesterday
afternoon when the motorman OF an
lakewood and Main car reversed his
motors in time to keep from crashing
into an automobile driven by High
Constable William Fl. Wyatt, Jr., at the
intersection of Fourth and Main
Streets, AS it was. the fender of the
car smashed against the rear wheels of
the automobile, but beyond slight
bending, no harm was done.
Mr.. Wyatt was coming up Fourth
Street and the street car was coming
down Main. Tho automobile was go
ing so slowly that the passengers on
the car thought II was going to stop
and let the car pass. as 1t was going at
moderate rate of speed. When the
car was almost on the automobile it
was seen that the automobile was not
going to stop, but went slowly across
the tracks.
The motorman at once reversed his
motors and put on brakes and stopped
the car as far as he could. The wo-
men in the automobile screamed when
1t scented that the car was about to
hit the automobile, and those in the
car were little less excited.
