an act of dissertation to disturb them
at this late date. The movement was
headed by Mrs. J. II. Redding OF the
Waycross chapter. who got up petit
ton which was signed by hundreds OF
the Daughters throughout the state.
1t was the intention of the state re-
gent to have the matter brought TO the
attention of the Georgia legislature at
its last session, but for some reason it
was not done
The strongest argument made by
the Daughters against the removal
was statement made by General Rob-
ert +. Lee after "A visit to the grave Of
his father III 1870, He was reported
to have said on that occasion that he
was satisfied with the resting place of
his father and that no prettier or more
restful spot could have been chosen
for his grave. The Daughters contend
ed that If General Lee was satisfied
The Virginia legislature ought TO be.
In later years of his life General
Harry Lee went to Cuba in search of
health. After time. being only
slightly improved and very weak, he
determined to return. On his way he
stopped TO visit his friend and com
panion in arms, General Nathaniel
Greene, the then owner Of Dungeness
and Cumberland island. He never got
any farther He failed steadily and
finally died there. He was given burial
on Cumberland in the little cemetery
of the Greenes. 4 small stone slab
marks his last resting place.

American Workmen In Germany OBJ
jeet to Lower Standard Of Living.
Berlin. 1.-The members of the colony
of eighty or ninety workingmen's fami-
lies recently imported from an Ohio
manufacturing city for the purpose of
instructing the German staff of an
American factory are having an insight
into the differences between German
and American workingmen's living
standards. Families which at home
were used to meat and dairy products
once or twice Il day find it entirely be-
yond workingmen's purses to enjoy
such 'luxuries" in Germany.
Their German comrades are content
with a daily diet Of black coffee, oleo
margarine. cheese. sausage and yegeta-
bles. with meat perhaps on Sunday.
The Ohio families find it impossible to
reduce their home standards to such a
level and are coirespondingly discon-
tented with their lot here.

Lee died on Cumberland. and his body
was buried there, and there it has re-

A year ago the Virginia legislature

$500 to remove the body to the Lee
burial ground at Lexington, Va. 1t

there would be any objection to the
transfer The legislature decided to
gather the dust of all the Lees at one
