Grant, Lee, Appomattox
April 9, 1865--April 8, 1914

Forty-nine years ago day be-
fore yesterday. Lee the Confed-
crate Chieftain, surrendered at
Appomattox Court Hous to
Grant, the Captain of the Union
army, and the greatest war of
modern times was ended.
Gathering about him his best
troops and most trusted Off
GERS, Lee had contested every
inch of ground in his efforts to
protect the fall Of Richmond and
the dismemberment Of the South |
ern Confederacy. His skirmish-
es, attacks and retreats had been
executed with consumatec skill;
but opposed by superior numbers
and with God Almighty against
him, with his army half starved,
half clad and disintegrating,
with the Southern Confederacy
subiugated in the Southerner's
heart and the president Of the
Confederacy, fleeing in dis
guise from place to place, he saw
the absolute folly of continuing
the hopeless struggle and the
further sacrificing of the lives of
| these brave but mistaken men,
and surrendered accordingly at
Appamattox on the 9th of April
1865.
The magnanimity of the con-
querors toward the conquered
partly alleviated the sting of de-
feat. When the Union Army
marched into Richmond they
found that the city was in flames
and Negro soldiers from the Un-
ion army soon extinguished the
fire and STOPPED. the plunder be-
gun by their masters. A similar
attempt had been made to burn
Charleston and Columbia, and
was partly successful. The white
people of the South-the ruling
class proud, arrogant, self as
sertive, though their leader,
John C. Calhoun, had attempted
more than three quarters of a
century ago to bring about Sc
cession and rebellion; but the
lynx-eyed man with the iron hand
was watching him ready to strike
him down. In that memorable
debate, called the battle of the
giants, South Carolina and Mas
sachusetts had crossed swords in
the greatest forensic duel fought
on American soil. With rhetori-
cal brilliancy and power, Hayne
the champion Of the Southern
white people, had for two days
controlled the floor of the United
States Senate; and with fluent
and melodious elocution, with in
solent assurance, and plausiable
sophistry, backed by a band of
bold and vindictive followers con
founded almost every hearer.

the whole nation held it's breath

Salem, Mass, had packed q quan-.

packing as an industry did not, how
ever, begin until 1913 when Eiish

large centers of population had their
packing plants and abattoirs to which
stock raisers within a neighborhood
OF hundreds OF miles drove their
stock for sale at the average rate OF
ten miles a day. Frequently the

glutted and prices at a level which
either spelled ruin for him or the
necessity OF leasing large ,pasturage

his animals until the market was

Smyrna is cosmopolitanism raised
to the nth power, and you sense the
fact before ever you set foot in the
city. The harbor itself is crowded
with the ships of all nations, for
Smyrna is one Of the best ports OF
the Ottoman empire. The quay is
bordered with substantial buildings
Of the most European aspect, while
beyond them rise the white minarets
Of moslem mosques and the dark
expresses Of Turkish cemeteries; the
pointed spires OF Christian churches;
and the rounded roofs of synagogues.
Above them all towers Mt. Pagus
crowned by the picturesque ruin Of a
great castle which was built before
the birth OF Christ, and which typi-
fies, none OF the swarming human ele-
ments OF modern Smyrna; but stands
as lonely monument to the city,s
wonderful past. For Smyrna was
built before history began, and is one
of the numerous places. that have
been claimed as the birthplace Of
Homer.
All the various races and rationale
ties that inhabit Smyrna are neatly
separated into quarters. The Greek
quarter is the largest and finest, for
the Greeks constitute more than half
Of the population, and are the most
influential citizens. The modern
Greek is a splendid business man, and
III Smyrna they also have nearly d
monopoly Of the professions.
Slightly less than quarter Of the
population is Moslem, but the Turk
ish quarter is large and has fairly
straight and wide streets as Oriental
streets go. The Weather moslems
have discarded all OF their national
costumes except the fez, with which
they top of a costume otherwise
wholly European: but the poorer
classes still affect baggy trousers and
|turhans, which are much cheaper as
well as more picturesque. The Ar
ncnian quarter Is next in size and inn
portance.. and the Jewish quarter the
smallest and most crowded.

Iious peoples ininEle In an inconceiv-
ably motley crowd, which is still fur

The expected has come-though
I've didn't expect 1t SO soon-in the
launching of the Hodges's boom for
the Democratic nomination for gov
ernor in 1916. The Fairmont Times
has been utilized as the vessel OF
fair augury through which the news
lis broken to the faithful. The Times
lprefaces Its statement by expressing
the opinion that, had Hodges been
the Democratic nominee for governor
i'm 1908 or 1912, he would have been
elected. and proceeds TO make II
known that the mistake Of 1908 and
1912 will not be repeated, but that

state will enlist the Morgantown
man without ado. early in 1916, and
that the only means Of escape will
lie in absolute declination of the hon.
or. after 1t has been handed to him.
Whether Colonel Hodges will per
nit the political sycophantss respon-
Isible for his first disaster to lead him
in the way Of another, remains to be
seen. 1t is well known that he was
promised the guebernatoria1 nomina-
ton in 1916 when he undertook the
Iforlorn struggle against Howard
Sutherland few months ago, and ii
lis also known that the ruling ambi-
ton of his life has pointed to the gu
bernatorial chair of his native state.
The result Of the election Of 1914,
the triumph Of Mr.. Sutherland over
the Democratic knight-errant, ought
TO prove sufficient warning. How
ever, II hope is SO abiding and desire
SO strong that the big educator needs
must take another fling Of politics,
the Republicans will be ready, and
stranger things have happened than
that the man who so gloriously trim
med his sails In the preliminary af-
fair of 1914 should reef them in

needs Of rural education in this coun-

An investigation has shown that
32..7 per cent Of the rural teachers in
the United States have had mo pro-

while perhaps a majority are inade-
