COMMUNICATION.

EDITOR CITIZEN:
Having read in recent issue of your
paper resolutions of the Grand Army
of the Republic. of Philadelphia, op-
posing the placing of the statue of
| General Robert E. Lee in the Hall of
Fame at Washington, l am prompted
to write few lines on the subject.
wish every Southern woman had an
opportunity to express herself on the
Fsubject Which, l ask, is the greater
disgrace: The statue of Robert E. Lee,
the hero of the South. alongside of the
statues of the heroes of the North in
the Hall of Fame of a government that
should know no North, South, East or
West, or the taking of four brothers,
home on sick furlough and cast into
a northern prison without friends or
assistance, where one died and the
others not permitted to returnhome until
after peace had been declared? Up to this
day we know not where he is buried,
as we have yet to learn of any mark
at his grave. If peace has been pro-
claimed and the cruel war over why do
the northern men persist in keeping up
the strife? Not only was my brother
permitted to die without the care of
friends and loved ones. but my fathers
property, which was considerable, was
taken away from him. In my opinion
this G. A. r. is more of disgrace to
this country than any other one thing
that can be named.
If the Hall of Fame is not big enough
for the statue of Robert E Lee, then
place it at some central Southern spot,
or at Richmond, the Southern capital,
and its fame and honor will be just as
great.

Fisherman, Va.

Yoder, the young man who went to
Richmond to cleanup" Richmond and
at the same time make living with
his knocker pamphlet, The Idea, is serv-
ing jail sentence for criminally libelling
public officers. The Times Dispatch
says:
1T is doubtful if any man ever cut a
more forlorn figure in this community
that A. A. Yoder does to-day. We
take him to be an unbalanced and erratic
person, a natural busybody and scatter
brain, a needy and insatiate egomaniac,
whose disordered fancy presented him
to his own eye as an appointed reformer
and doer of great deeds. With this
mental equipment and a vast ignorance
of local conditions and local public SEN
timent, he came to us to clean up our
town. But unhappily for him, he did
not come upon his own motion. He
came at the instance of barkeeper,
whose license had been taken away for
selling whiskey to young girl, and who
declared that he had gotten dirty
deal.'"
Yoder may or may not have been
sincere in his work. But like all others
who undertake the publication of such
things as The Idea, he over-reached
himself. Pamphlets like The Idea do
no good even when they are honest and
do not resort to blackmail and other
criminal practices.-Newport News

Who IS A FRIEND.

A Friend is the first person who
comes in when the whole world has
gone out.
A bank of credit on which we can
draw supplies of confidence, counsel,
sympathy, help and love.
One who considers my needs before
my deservings.
The triple alliance of the great pow
ers, love, sympathy and help.
One who understands our silence.
A jewel whose lustre the strong acids
of poverty and misfortune cannot dim
One who smiles on our fortune
frowns on our faults, sympathises will
our sorrow, weeps at our bereavements
and is safe fortress at all times ot
trouble.
One who gaining the top of the lad
der, won't forget you if you remain a
the bottom.
The holly of life, whose qualities ar,
overshadowed in the summer of pros
perity, but blossom forth in the win
ter of adversity.
He who does not adhere to the say
ing that No. should come first.-Selec
ted by j. M. Stephens.

81 HAVE KEPT THE FAITH. -
From Richmond VirEinian.)


When the contest is over, when the
struggle is ended, whether in victory
or defeat there is nothing nobler under
the sun than that he who has conten-
ded and struggled and fought, may
stand in his place and say: 81 have
kept the faith. l have been true to
myself, to my country and to God"
1t is fidelity that distinguishes man
from hireling. THE hireling fieeth
because he is an hireling he
works for the pay of his job and not
from a sense of duty. Fidelity is the
best asset in any man, and without it
no man is TO be depended upon-in trade
| circles, in the home, in the govern
meut. 1t is the lack of fidelity in men
that wrecks banks and homes and that
makes civic traitors. 1t is the lack of
fidelity in the church that brings re-
ligion into disrepute. The man who be-
trays his trust, whether it be in war
or in peace-on the sentinels post, be-
hind the counter, in domestic relations
or in religious affiliation is traitor.
1t is hard saying, but it is true. The
bank-wrecker, the wife-deserter, the
dishonest official. or the hypocrite is as
surely ard as basely a traitor as the
soldier who forsakes his own flag and
goes over to the enemy. God Al
mighty hates traitor, no matter what
may be the nature of his treachery.
On the contrary, the man of fidelity
is man after Gods own heart and is
sure of his reward, though his efforts
may seem to fail.
In the bright lexicon of faithful en-
deavor there is no such word as failure.
He who is faithful to his trust is sue
cessful in the highest sense, even though
| there be no material achievement, and
his reward is sure. 1t is not given to
all men to achieve. A few men have
the. genius of accomplishment; many
men have it not. 1t often happens
that our best directed efforts do not
pan out. We toll and struggle and
sweat and groan, but failure seems to
meet US at every turn. We sow and
reap not. And finally we grow faint
and lose heart and say, What's the use?
1t is not worth while. But it is worth
while. Fidelity is always worth while.
Despair and surrender are remedies
for nothing. Fidelity is the only rem.
edy for seeming failure. There is moth.
ing else. If fidelity be lost, then all i:
lost indeed. There is no consolation tc
him who has missed the mark save the
consciousness that he was faithful.
Virginia citizen. (Irvington, Va.) 1891-1921, 1910-03-18
WHY FERTILIZERS OFTEN
FAIL TO GIVE RESULTS,

Every farmer knows that it would be
a mere waste to put a great quantity of
fertilizer on "sobby" soil and expect
to grow crop. There is too much
water in such soils, and they must be
drained before good results can be
expected.
Farmers must learn, too, that it is
Improbable to put great quantities of
fertilizers on dry, dead soils, deficient
in humus, where part of the plant
food may be leached away in wet
weather because there is not enough
moisture in the soil to dissolve it SO
that it can be taken up by the plants.
1t is essential use of any kind of fer.
tilizers to keep these facts in regard to
soil formation and plant growth in mind,
because without them there's danger OF
forgetting the true purpose of fertilizers
the furnishing of readily available
food for the crops, and because impor.
tant as it is to learn about fertilizers
and how to use them, it is even more
important to learn how to take care OF
the soil as to give the crops chance t.
grow and get the most out of the fer.
tilizers applied.
Most Southern soils need phosphoriC
acid; many of them are lacking in
nitrogen; some are sadly deficient in
potash; many will not grow certain
crops because they have too much
acidity; large areas need drainage first
of all; but the great need of most
Southern farms is humus, and until this
is supplied no commercial fertilizer
which may be applied can be so effective
as it should be.-Raleigh IN. c.

CIVIC PRIDE.
Northampton Times. I


Every town has several cliques or
factions that are always ready to COM
bat any public effort put forth for the
betterment of the citizens in general.
There are men who think because their
ideas are not personally consulted, it is
their duty to make public complaint
with the view of causing others to think
as they do, the result being that all good
suggestions are smothered by the clamor
of persons who do not take the time to
think.
1t is hardly display. of civic pride tc
cluster around some public corner anG
condemn something that does not gc
just right, but it would be commenda
BILE to set about Immediately to right
the wrong by calling a public meeting
and lay the matter before ALL the peo
pie, so that definite conclusion can b,
arrived at.

THAT'S THE WAY In DIXIE.

That's the way in Dixieland-forgett the
grief and go,
Forgive the heart that held the hate,
the hand that struck the blow:
The swords have turned TO roses in the
happy land of Lee,
And that's the way in Dixie, from the
mountain to the sea:
Swords have turned to roses,
And they've put away the hate
To greet the North with posies
When she knocks at Dixie's gatel
That's the way in Observation-Disclosures
lived it down, good-byI
They fought and bled for glory and they
gave their loved to diei
But birds build in the cannon's mouth
and muskets rot and rust,
Forgotten in the dream of bloom above
the dead dreams dust:
Birds build in the cannon's mouth,
The guns of war are still,
And peace walks on the feet of love
Through fertile vale and hill
That's the way in Dixieland-what
Gordon said is true
The Southland knows no other land but
thine, Red, White and BlueI
She needs you as you all need her, the
bugles sound retreat
And one by one on graves of dream the
flags of truce shall meet:
She needs you as you all need her,
She sings you home, she stands
Beside her gates of beam and bloom
With sunflowers in her hands,
That's the way in Dixieland-her fields,
her mines. her store
OF golden wealth are more to her than
all the swords of war;
Her honor stood stonewalled and true.
her heart was all she had,
You tore it, but the wound has healed,
and Dixieland is glad:
Her honor stood stonewalled and true,
1t stands unspotted now,
Love on her lips for all the land.
Dreams on her lifted brow!
