Der used at present.
Tho congestion at our ports and
the nTiquatcd methods OF handling
freight on outgoing and incoming
vessels have long been II matter for
general criticism without In the least
abating the cause for that criticism.
AZ least one of the factors that
would relieve this congestion. ac-
cording to Mark II. Lloyd. or the
Lloyd Motor Company. would be the
more general use OF trucks and the
elimination OF tho horse. as the two
absolutely do not mix, and facilities

costs considerably more TO operate

Recognition Not Needed.

To the Editor of The Times Dispatch:
Sir,-Permit mo TO say concerning Secretary
Daniels strangely inconsistent efforts to have
the names OF certain distinguished Conted-
crates inscribed upon the memorial TO be
placed in the cemetery at Ar!!nsion. that these
gentlemen would never have consented dur
ing their lives TO thrust themselves into any
company, even though Gas in the case OF Cen
cral Lee) that company were assembled in
their own homes. and what would have been
distastefIl To them then, should not be forced
upon them now.
Besides. their fame is too ndelibly i'm
pressed upon the hearts of loyal and
women OF the South and npon those of high.
minded men and women the world over, and
too thoroughly incorporated into reliable his
tories OF the War Between the States. to ne cd
this additional record.
Least OF aiI-and this We say without
acrimony-would they have accepted such
recognition at the ha nds of one who, not con-
tent with max ing Il personal surrender to ''cS-
pcdicncy" OF the principle in defense OF which
they offered up their lives, is now deliberately
working to destroy absolutely and irrevoca bly,
this same principle, the foundation upon which
rests the welfare and safety. not only OF his
own state. but Of the entire South and even OF
the Union itself.
