Jan. 22, 1907. ROBERT E. LEE. The celebrations of the birth day of Lee last Saturday was general throughout the Soijth and many Northern cities last Saturday was greater than at any former occasion of the kind. Many were the expressions in the newspapers of the country of the man who was regarded as the best general the country has ever known. The following sketches appeared in Collier's National Weekly. The fact that Northern editor can say such things of a Southern man makes what is said of more weight: A hundred years ago. on the 19th of this month, Robert E. Lee was born. America ha' had no nobler citizen. All that is best in the South, or in the country, seemed to centre in this grave, strong, devoted man. Before the war he was looked upon as the most brilliant officer in the army. He regretted the approaching conflict. Sadly he took his place in it. He stood throughoutas atower of strength, a centre of inspiration, and he lived his life afterward as a model of peaceful and self-respecting manhood. Someauthorities think iim the greatest general the war brought forth ; some do not. No body can fail to see in him a man in whom every part of our coun try must rejoice, of whom North and South should alike be proud. When a leader is so virtuous and bo great he becomes a heritage for every American in succeeding time, whether that American dwell one side of the Potomac or task of reconnoitring the Union position to "Seb" Stuard. . One of the greatest assets as a military leader was his person ality. Every one who met him was charmed, and impressed by his force. The South had per fect confidence in him-the same sort of ethusiasmfor him that his friends felt. With Lee at the front, thoughtful, experi enced, calm, conservative, there was no nervousness at Richmond. The smallest landholder, as well as Jefferson Davis himself, felt that the right man was in com mand. The South was behind Lee; he had the confidence of Richmond; and, what was more to the point, his whole army believed in hin. He was a model man, had been a model cadei at West Point, and thoughtful care of his men en deared them to him. Once he wrote to Mr. Lee acknowledging the receipt of a bundle of socks, and said that he had just dis tributed 263 pairs to the Stone wall brigade. My own impression of the man, of course, has been obtained largely from what I've heaad my father say of him. At Appo mattox, General Grand met him, not as an enemy, but as a noble hearted, high-minded man who had simply taken a different view on a very vital subject. That winning personality, which had charmed the whole South, appealed strongly to my father. General Lee was a beautiful, lovable character; he was the best type of Christian gentleman. In his military character he lived up to his motto. "In planning, all dangers should be seen; in action none, unless very formidable." He came of good stock he was the son of "Light-Horse Harry" and of a family that was richly endowed with the power to at tract a following. Few men have been so human, and at the same time held the confidence of military men. -A Tribute by Brigadier-General Frederick Dent Grant in Collier.s. The South Atlantic Quarterly. The leading article and special feature of the January number of theSouth Atlantic Quarterly which came from the press Monday, is John Charles McNeill," by Pro- fessor E. K. Graham of the Uni versity of North Carolina. The Book Reviews in this number are a distinct feature. Besides those written by the edi tors and other members of the facility of Trinity there are two of special importance by Profes sor Seager, of Columbia Univer sity and Prof Hamilton of the sky of North Carolina. State Senator W. F. Wood, came up from Raleigh last Satur day and spent Sunday with his brother. G. T. Wood. The Durhan Chamber of Com merce are heartily in favor of the bond isssue for good, roads in Durham and will do what they can to carry the election for bonds when the question comes before tu,e people of this county.

By the Teutons mistletoe was held sacred to Baldur, the sun god, the son of Freya, the StaudinaTlaa Venus. In Baldur all that wan beautiful, elo quent, wise and pood was honored, and he was the spirit of activity, of joy and of light. Predicting his own approaching death, his mother. Freya, exacted au oath from animals, planets and minerals not to injure him. The mistletoe among the plants had been forgotten. When this was discovered by the treacherous Hoeder, tht blind god of brute streugth, he took a wand of it. and being directed how to aim it, the mistletoe pierced Baldur through the heart, and be fell dead to the ground. Boston Traveler. The Lumberton Robesonlan wants to knowi "how come" a judge, who is a day late in arriving to bold court, cannot be fined just as witnesses and jurymen. Very pertinent inquiry, but he can't, probably for the reason that he don't want to line himself and there is no one else to do it. "Pass a law" brother, and poke it to em. Greensboro Record.
