Richmond, Va, June 20th,
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
We propose to honor our great leader,
Jefferson Davis, by a monument, not only
to illustrate his greatness, but that of
the men and women who selected and
followed him in a peerless revolution.
He was stainless in his official, publie,
and private life. His administration was
brief, but glorious. Greatness is not

History will with one voice pronounce Mr,
Davis a gentleman, scholar, a pas
triot, and his own countrymen, a mar yr.
Even his accusers, by failing to bring
him to trial. cald, “We find no fault in
him.” More plous than his priest (Dr.

prison and from chains,
As the Spartan mother sought and

‘and bore him away in her loving arms

HOW TO GET THE MONEY.
I send you a cut of the biz basket
which I have prepared to tations of
ferings for the monument at our reunion,
It is surmounted by three flags—the
Stars and Stripes, the Stars and Pars,
and in the middle a pure white flag, with
a gold cross in the field, emblem cof peace
and Christian union. Into this basket
let every man, woman, or child in this
city place some offering, howaver smail,
and also all veterans and sens end
daughters of veterans, dead or alive, A
pumber of camps at the last reunion
made pledges. These will net con
tribute this way. The basket will be
placed in the middle of Grace street, cppd
site to St. Paul's church, where Mr.
Davis made his offerings to his God
nd to our God. Two policemen Ww'/
gnard it, and, after the procession passes,
take it to the State Bank, of which
our treasurer, M-. Ellett, is president,
and deposit it in the vault. When the
troops approach this peint, the command
will be given “right and left oblique”
go that every man will pass near enough
to throw in his offering. If he prefers
it, he can put his name and address on
the envelope. As our sister Southern
States have honored us with the jocation
of this monument, gratitude and interest
alike should incite us to make a most
liberal offering. All persons not in the
parade can contribute to the basket from
7 A. M. till the procession moves,
W. W. PARKER.

RESULTED IN A DEAD HEAT.
Coleman and Duncker Will Proba
bly Run the Ten-Mile Race Over,
KEY TNE BI arp, dine Arve
The dispute as to who won the {ime
prize of the ten-mile road-race, conducted
recently under the auspices of the Owl
*Cycle Club, has at last been settled.
Dr. Frank R. Steel has decided that the
result of the race in this respect was a
dead-heat between Messrs. Coleman and
Duncker, and suggests that the race be
run over by these two riders,
Coleman was a Class man, and
Duncker in Class B. Coleman's time
was placed at 27:08, while Duncker
claimed to have finished in 27 flat, Temple,
who was in Class A, had his time taken
at 21:0.
The referee's decision follows:
Richmond, June 18, 1396,
“Mr. Henry F. Vaughan, Chairman
Race Committee:
“Dear 8ir,—In reference to the pro
tests against the award of the time
prize in the recent road race of the Owl
'Cyecle Club, I beg to say:
“First. There scems to be no doubt in
the minds of the judges that their
award of places at the finish, as revised
June $th, is now correct; and I believe
the riders have all accepted their prizes
in accordance with that award, There
fore, as Mr. Hope and Mr. Fry were each
beaten by men in their respective
classes, their claims to the time-prize
cannot be allowed.
“Second. The timers Inform me that
Mr. Temple's time was taken into con
sideration in making their award to
Mr. Coleman, but that Mr. Duncker was
overlooked, and, «fter considering his
claims, they cannot decide between the
latter two as to which made the faster
time,
“1, therefore, decide the contest for
this prize a dead-heat between Messrs.
Duncker and Coleman, and suggest that
they be required to run over the Same
course, and that the priz+ be awarded in
accordance with the result of the con
test. 1 beg to notify them that a time
limit will be placed on the run-over.
“Very truly yours,
“FRANK R. STEEL, Referee."

Chalrman Vaughan will submit the
referee’s decision to the other members
of the committee, and it will doubtless
be accepted.

TRUE TO THE SOUTH.
Governor Atkinson in Full Accord with
the Confederate Sentiment,
A CHAT WITH HIS SECRETARY.
Major Callaway Says the Georgia
Executive Has Been Misrepresent
ed, and That the Veterans of His
State Esteem Him-=Military Coming
Major Frank BE. Callaway, private sec
retary to Governor W. Y. Atkinson, of
Georgia, is here for the purpose of making
arrangements for the distinguished party
of Georgians who will attend the reunion.
He Is stopping at the Jefferson, and wil
probably leave the city this morning.
Major Callaway, like most of the Exo
cutive secretaries, is an ex-newspaper
man, He was, prior to his official ap
pointment, associated with the Enquirer
Sun, of Columbus, When asked by the
Dispatch representative yesterday to talk
about the recent controversy between
Governor Atkinson and one of the Con
federate camps of Georgia, he expr&dsed
himself quite freely, and stated that the
former had been greatly misunderstood.
HAS BEEN EXAGGERATED,
“The newspapers have greatly exagge
rated this alleged unpleasantness,’ he
said. “There is really nothing in it. Some
weeks ago a man in Atlanta, who is
unknown out of his own ‘bailiwick,” and
not a member of any Confederate asso
clation, doubtless wishing to secure’ for
himself some notoriety, wrote a letter
and sent it to the Governor. This letter





was afterwards published in the Georgia
and Richmond newspapers, and the peo
ple outside of my State have misunder
stood it. In this letter the writer ac
cuses Governor Atkinson of having de
cried, during his campaign for Governor,
the Confederate sentiment, and proceeds
to ask him where his place will be during
the Confederate reunion, in Richniond,
and suggests that probably it will be
better for him to remain in Georgia. The
Governor took no notice of the letter
when it was sent to him, and the writer
of it then carried it to the Atlanta Com
mercial, in which it was printed. As to
the sentiments that Governor Atkinson is
alleged to have uttered, there is abso
lutely no foundation for the charge, The
speeches that he made during his cam
paign have all been published, and no
thing of the Kind can be found in them.
On the other hand, he has the very
highest respect and regard for the Con
federate veterans, and has always ex
pressed himself that way. It is true,
that he fought the Boldiers’-Home bill
in the State Legislature when he was a
member of that body, and defeated the
passage of the measure, but his idea was
to give to the veterans this money in
pensions, instead of bringing them to such
an institution, and the consequence {is
that the State of Georgia (largely through
his efforts) pays as much or more pen:
sions than any Southern State. The peo
ple of Georgia now recognize the wisdom
of the course,



TRUE TO CONFEDERATE SENTIM’'N7
“Mr. Atkinson opposed General Yvan:
in his race for Governor, and defeated
him, but not a single time during this
campaign did he ever decry this Con.
federate sentiment. It stands td reasor
that no man wishing political prefermaon
could afford to say a thing of that kind
because the love of the Lost Cause i
Georgia Is too £trong. Besides this, Gov
ernor Atkinson is the son of a Confede
rate veteran, and two of his brothér:
were Confederate goldiers—one of whon
was killed at the first battle of Manassas
and he now has, as his porter, the ok
negro who brought this brother's reif®uin:
home, and he is given the very bes!
that the Governor can afford. The reso.
lutions of the Sumter County Camp vs
political in their nature, and do not
by any means, express the sentiment of
the majority of the members of thal
camp. And to show that the Veteran As
sociation of Georgia does not endorse
these resolutions, they had a meeting
few nights ago in Atlanta, and repudiates
the whole thing, and sent a committee uy
to Governor Atkinson to offer the Fultor
County Camp as his escort while in Rich
mond.
“I ean safely say,” Major Callawa)
continued, “that no man in Georgia
spects this sentiment more than Gover
nor Atkinson, and he needs no defence
in his native State, but I desired, afte:
gecing that the Richmond papers had had
a good deal to say about this matter, tc
let the people of Virginia hear the other
slde—or, rather, to hear the truth of fit.
“Governor Atkinson and his staff will
be present at the reunion, accompanied
by several military companies from the
State of Georgia, I came up ahead of
time to make arrangements for their en.
tertainment, One of the companies that
will be present on that occasion is the
Savannah Cadets, sald to be the best
military organization in the Southern
States, and we are glad that Georgia wil
have the opportunity of showing, even to
a limited extent, what she can do in the
military line.”

The following appeal commends itself to
the good people of Richmond, and it
should not go unheeded:
The Ice Mission Is much In peed of
money. It is true we have had cool wea

poor people, who need ice dally. We can
not rely on having a continuance of cool
weather, and a hot spell is now beginning.
Faney the poor little children and the old,
infirm men and women having nothing to
refresh them during the hot days and
nights now upon us, The ice-cream sa
loons and soda-water fountains are libe
rally patronized by the favored ones of
the earth; let them think of those who
have nothing to drink but warm, muddy
water, and give to the fund that provides
ice for the helplessly poor, During the last
weeks the following contributions have
been received: From boxes at Times and
Dispatch offices, 14 cents; boxes at MIl
