TIES
(By Associated Press.)
RICHMOND, Va., June I—A stir
ring appeal for the end of war and
for peace among all nations, was made
by Dr. Henry W. Battle, of Charlottes
ville, Va., in his “Reunion Address”
here today at the gathering of the
United Confederate Veterans. Dr.
Battle reviewed the causes of the war
between the states and told of the
South’s motives; eulogized the men'
and women who bore the hardships of
that conflict and concluded with a
tribute to the united people, pursuing
the paths of peace, that has been the
■outcome of the strife. He said in part;
“At sunrise on the 9th of April, 1865,
a little band of cavalry under Fitz
Lee and Gordon’s Infantry, scarcely
2,000 in all, prepared to charge. Not a
man in that attenuated fragment of
the glorious army of Northern Vir
ginia, but knew that charge might
witness the last gasp of the dying
Confederacy; not a man but would
have gladly given his life if by that
supreme sacriflcce strength to survive
and conquer might have been impart
ed to the cause for which he fought
and suffered four long years. The
command to charge is given; the air
thrills and resounds with the Rebel
yell. Vain! Vain! An avalanche of
federal reinforcements presses them
hack, not empty-handed, but with
captured cannon and prisoners.
“Gordon sends General Lee word
that he has fought his troops ‘to a
frazzle.” ‘Then, said Lee, ‘There is

nothing for me to do, but go and see
General Grant, and I would rather die
a thousand deaths.’ An officer pro
tests: ‘What will history say of the
surrender of the army in the field?’
‘Yes,’ replied Lee, ‘I know they will
say hard things o' us; they will not
understand how we were overwhelm
ed by numbers. But this is not the
question; the question is, is it right to
surrender the army? If it is right,
then I will take all the responsibility.’
That was just like Robert E. Lee.
“But General Lee, in that anguish
fraught hour, was mistaken: History
will not say hard things of him and of
the Confederate soldier. I know that
scribblers have dipped their pens in
vitrol and that -naturally fair and
judicial minds have been beclouded by
prejudice, but with each succeeding
year the day of the Southern Confed
eracy’s complete vindication draws
nearer. When that time shall come,
the student of impartial history will
perceive that, when the ties that bound
the colonies to the British crown were
severed the soverignty which they had
vested in the crown reverted to the
colonies, as independent political un
its. He will read how these political
units finally entered into solemn com
pact forming a general government
for the protection and futherance of
mutual interests without the surrend
er of soverignity essential to political
integrity. He will mark with whac
jealous care the several communities,
now called states, sought, in entering
the compact, to safeguard this price
less treasure while delegating other
things to the federal government
Then, he will behold the economic in
terests of one great section as affect
ed by soil and climate arrayed against
those of another, and a domestic insti-

tution, safeguarded by the Constitu
tion, utilized and fostered in the be
ginning by one section, made the oc
casion for the fiercest and most fanat
ical denunciation of the other.
“In view of the tragedy that follow
ed, he might well weep bitter tears
that when the moral sense of the
South—never at perfect ease over the
institution of slavery—was struggling
with the complicated problem of how
best to wipe the stain off her esccutch
eon—best for the race that Old Eng
land and New England had foisted up
on her —the incendiary conduct of the
Northern section made of every true
son of the South a champion of that
which deep down in his heart he long
ed to be rid of. I utterly deny that
the South seceeded from the union and
poured out her heroic blood to main
tain the institution of African slav
ery. ... It -was what was back of
and around that issue. The South be
lieved it was her inalenable right to
peaceably withdraw from the compact.
“It is in my heart to say that the
truly noble, unselfish conduct of
Southern slaves during the war when
our men were at the front and our
women and children almost wholly
under their protection, is a complete
refutation of the slander which brand
ed that domestic relationship at the
South as ‘the sum of all villanies.’ The
Southern gentleman and the Southern
gentlewoman were never cruel. They
gave to their slaves a watchful care
and solicitude unique and beautiful.
‘Old Mistes’ and ‘Old Master’ were
words sponken livingly in those days.
Had it been otherwise, think you the
millions of negroes in Southern homes
and plantations would not have risen
in their might and thrown off their
fetters by deeds which would have
sent fathers and husbands and broth
ers rushing back from the front to
protect their dear ones?”
Dr. Battle told of the fortitude, pa
triotism and sufferings of the South
ern women due to the war, and made
a plea for a monument in their honor.
“Also,” he said, “I w'ould have a fit
ting monument erected in grateful
recognition of the devotion and loyalty
of the Southern war-time negro.”
The speaker quoted from speeches
made at various times by Abraham
Lincoln, Jefferson Davis, and John C.
Calhoun and other noted men in public
affairs concerning the right of states
to secede and declared certain North
ern states had proclaimed the right of
secession and threatened to exercise it
before the South had dreamed of in-

voking its aid.” “Who then," he de
clared, “was chiefly to blame for the
fratricidal strife that brought such
suffering to our country? I solemnly
declare and call upon the Almighty to
witness, that the fault did not lie
chiefly at the door of the South! Had
the doctrines contained in that series
of seven resolutions formulated an-1
introduced in the United States Senate
in the late fifties by Jefferson Davis
been observed in good faith, there
would have been no war. These reso
lutions defined the relations of the
federal government to the states and
territories and after various amend
ments were adopted.”
In closing Dr. Battle said: "Fifty
years have passed since General Lee
surrendered at Appomattox. Ilalf-a
century of peace has brought us to
this glad day in a people’s history. ‘A
people sane and great, forged in strong
fires, by war made one, telling old
battles over without hate.’ The flag of
the Union floats proudly over an un
divided and indivisible epople; a hun
dred million voices devoutedly sing
‘The Star Spangled Banner.’ We are
indeed ‘at home in our Father’s house.’
Our President —God bless, protect an!
guide him —has his hand on the helm
of the ship of state, directing her
steady course through the storm-toss
ed waves of a world at war; our Sec
retary of Navy is on deck; our attor
ney-general adds his learning to the
country’s jurisprudence; a Southern
hero who wore the gray, now wears
the robe of a Justice of the Supreme
Court; in both houses of Congress
Southern men hold the reins of power.
Yes, we are at home in our father’s
house, at home to stay. Within our
borders all is peace. God hastens the
time, by prophets sung, when nation
shall not rise up against nation and
man’s inhumanity to man make count
less millions mourn; when every war
horse shall be hitched to a plow, when
every spear shall become a pruning
hook and every sword shall be con
verted into an implement of peaceful
husbandry; when the Prince of Peace
shall say ‘I have gone up and down

WASHINGTON, D. C., June I.—The
condition of the cotton crop on May
25th, as reported by agents of the
department of agriculture, shows the
Georgia condition as .81. Other states
show corresponding conditions.
A man always murmurs modestly,
“why in the world do you ove ME?’*
But the most mysterious phenomenon
in life to any man is why aay woman
in the world doesn’t love him.
Any normal man will cheerfully
marry a woman for the sake of her
brilliant mind, and then expect her to
concentrate it on the boiling of his
breakfast eggs for the rest of her life.
