Of history written from the Northern
viewpoint VIII find their way into the
hands of the Southern youth. to give
!. him false conceptions of the War
Between the States, DECLARED Miss
Rutherford. The Northern historian
she justified as writing history hs 1t
was told to him. She extoilcd the
North in the fact that 1t cared enough
for the deeds of Its sons to record
them, reciting the absence of know
ledge regarding equally significant
facts regarding Southern history.
while the traditions Of the North are
given widecast publication.
Referring to the terrible recon
structlon days" Miss Rutherford said
that the wise men of the North now
know II was necessary to fight for
the supremacy of the white race. De-
claring that Interpretation OF the eo.-
stitution was the rock ON which North
and South split, and that this issue
and not slavery was the cause of
the War Between the States, she said
that General r. Il. Lee made his
eral Grant. head u the Federal ar
mics did not free his slaves until
after the war.
The South has smarted under the
charge of illiteracy. she said Miss
Rutherford then recited the facts that
Washington and Mary university was
the first university established In the
new world. that Georgia had the first
State university, that North Carolina
was establishing public libraries In
1853 and that there were public
schools in South Carolina as early as

BOOSTING LAMB
FOR FINE BERTH
FRIENDS OF FORMER CONGRESS.
NAV SEEK TO MAKE HIM As
sIsTANT SECRETARY OF
@aAGRICILTURE.

A well defined movement has been
started to secure the appointment of
former Congressman John Lamb as as
sistant secretary OF agriculture.
The unusual feature of the move
ment Is the fact that ii did not ORR
ginate in Virginia, and the further
fact that friends OF Captain Lamb out
side the State are doing all they can to
forward the movement Some Rich
n1end friends of Captain Lamb have
talked of him - the successor of POST
master Allan, but others in and out of
the State have thought from the first
that the postehice was too small a
berth for the congressman who has
served the third district so long and
so faithfully. and have looked higher,
The fact that Captain Lamb was
chairman OF the agricultural commit
tee of the house fer so many years,
and IS thoroughly familiar with the ma
chihery OF the agricultural department.
his friends believe peculiarly fits him
for the post Of assistant secretary. He
did great deal for Virginia during
his incumbencE of the chairmanship
and. in the post of assistant secretary
can continue to do as much or even
more. not only for Virginia, but the
entire South, and Captain Lamb is
nothing if not Southerner.
1t was asCertained definitely and
conelusively last night that this move
ment is taking shape rapidly, and that
while captain Lamb knows little or
nothing of thu plans of his friends.
that this particular plan is about the
most definitely defined and popular
program that has been limited at since
il became officially known that Presi-
dent Woodrow Wilson would have the
pleasure and privilege of cleaning off
the slate.
