"Insult"

The next engagement of the Walker act is on April 9, when Mayor Walker will, for some reason, be headman at the ceremonious unveiling of the Stone Mountain Memorial at Atlanta, Ga., to the armies of the Confederacy.--TIME, March 19.

Last fortnight, irate, a Mrs. A. E. Spangler of Washington wrote to Southern Senators and said: "Where are all our distinguished statesmen and scholars, who know their South as they do their prayers, that this Charlie Chaplin of New York's east side, friend of the bootlegger and saloonkeeper, is invited to describe the achievements of the South at the dedication of this shrine to the South's greatest soldier? Are our men and women afraid to oppose the will of Tammany that they offer no protest to such an insult to the memory of General Lee?"
