Lincoln and Reconstruction

To the Editor of The Age Herald
 I should like to speak just few words relative to Lincolns policy to- ward reconstruction in repuly to Mir. E. P Lacy's article which appeared in The Age Herald some few days ago
 Be it far from my mind to enter subject or to precipitate a series of discussions on the merits or demerIts of his ideas as to the seeded states. but merely to give "a few facts as they are recorded by history And to allay any fear that I am not In sympathy with the south and her ia terests, I should like to state tfat am now living and have always lived within one mile of where my great grandfather settled 100 years ago My grandfather was reared and lived past his three-score and ten years on and around the same old homestead.
 So you see I can justly claim to be of the south; and, naturally, must have inherited something of her tra- ditional customs and ways of think ing. Besides my grandfather en- listed in the Confederate army at the beginning of the war between the states and followed their flag till General Lee surrendered his half starvd and half clothed army to his victorious enemy at AppomattoX on his tattered and torn suit of gray, which was to boar testimony of his fidelity to the south. he turned homeward to his wife and children to take up life anew on the same old homestead. The remaining years of his life were quietly spent on this farm, but he was at all times a loyal democrat and quick to resent any insult to Ele south and the cause for which he had fought for four long years. Now, I think that the above facts are sufficient proof that what I shall say will not be spoken from a prejudiced mind; but as Lincoln himself said, speak the right as l see it.
 Lincoln's Greatness
 In many respects, Lincoln was one of the greatest American statesmv n who ever entered public life. That he possessed master constructive mind guided and controlled by tender and sympathetic heart can not be denied. All told, he never attended school more than 12 months. but he was, in his long stretch of years. always studying and prepar- ing himself for the crisis of life.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-08-01

him to do this as it was change of conditions. This was done purely as a war measure and did not effect slaves in territory not in arms against the national government. Should all states and parts of states have ceased war against the ma. tonal government before the expir t- ton of the 90 days which was al
 lowed before this proclamation vert into effects not slave would have been freed Lincoln's sole object was to save the union, and he held
 that anything reasonable which would tend to end the conflict and save the union was just and fair. That he was guided by the spirit of right and that his heart and soul were in the work is well and forcibly brought out in his reply to a com nittee of clergymen who called on without delay, and in his reply he stated, with that far-away but
 thoughtful expressive look on his face, that q have not decided against proclamation of liberty for the slaves, but hold the matter under advisement; and l can assure you that the subject is on my mind, by day and night, more than any other.
 Whatever appears to be Gods will, will do. And again he said My paramount object is to save the union, and not either to save or de- stroy slavery. If l could save the union without freeing slave, would do it; if I could save it by freeing all the slaves. I would do 1t: and if I save it by freeing some and leaving others alone, l would also do that. R. N WALDROP.
