Walter Savage Lnndor.

The literary career of Walter Savage
Landor was as stormy MS his private life lie never
fell out indeed with southey, buthe quarreled with
Wordsworth, he quarreled with Byron, he can
celed dedlCatons because his heroes disappointed
him, and he was perpetually engaged, as might
have been expected, in the most appalling and
terrific battles with booksellers. But for the
friendly Intervention of the Hare brothers, and Of
Forster and Others he could hardly have got his
books before the world. AS 1t was he never got
them before the multitude Neither in the choice
oftopics, the arrangement of matter, nor the man
ner of publication did he ever condescend TO the
weakness ofreaders. He cared nothing for popu-
larity, nothing even for fame, but he had sub
lime assurance both of the excellence Of his work
and Of It's perpetuty

Mr.. LUDLOW, the Prohibition idiot, who
is running from the goyernorship of Ohio,
expresses his preference for Bookwalter
over Foster, because the Republicans have
refused legislation, while the Democrats,
not having Legislature to refuse with,
have not refused. These side-shows are
sometimes sustained by the opposition
circus, and Ludlow's avowed preference
for the Democrats is very suspicious.

Col. John Martin, one of the oldest and
most prominent citizens of this County.
died at his residence in Martin township on
last Wednesday, after lingering illness of
sevcrc' months. Col. Martin was born on
the l.. day of September, 1893, within
half milo Of the place he resided at the
time of his death. lie received only
limited English education, but was natu-
rally man OF strong :nind and excellent
gcnuity, and could do anything in this line,
although he never pursued it. AS young
man he was very fond of hunting sports
and in them became famous as one Of the
finest marksmen that this section has ever
produced. He fought through the war of
1912 in Capt. Thompson's Company, and is
believed to have ,ccii the :sst s.,iyicor of
its members.
He was very popular man, and was very
successful i'll elections. In 1882 he was
chosen member of the Legislature from
this County: In 1886 lie was elected Ordi
nary, and in 1916 and 1854 was elected
Sheriff of the County. He always took
great interest in the militia, and beginning
as Captain of the Bear Creek Company lie
became Major OF the First Battalion and
after. ards Colonel of the old Fourth Regi-
ment, which position he held for many
years.
After the war; VIXEN the Commissioners
we're laying the County off into townships
they named the one in which he rcsideu,
Martin, for him. Col. Martin was always
an active, benevolent, sociable man, and no
one ever had warmer personal friends than
he. He was upright and honorable in all
of the transactions Of life, and hence was
respected by all who knew him. His re-.
mains were inferred OH Thursday i'm Ebe-
neZer Church-yard.

ALetter from Alabama.

JACKSONVILLE, ALA, Dec. %, 1850.
Editor Infclligenccr: Please find enclosed
$780, renewal Of my subscription to your
paper.
Although my destinies have long heen
cast with the people of this section OF the
couth. and l have raised q family on the
soil of Alabama, I yet have not lost my love
for old South Carolina or interest in her
affairs.
The County that live in fCalhouiil is
known us one of the hill counties OF the
State, or North Alabama. n contradistin-
guished from the "black belt" or what is
known rs the cotton belt, or South Ala
bama. Though we do not live i'm the cot
ton Ielt proper, we have good country for
cotton, our best lands yielding rs high as q
much as ho!f hale to the acre. Our aver
age yield of corn Is twenty bushels per acre.
Some of our best bottom lands bring as
high as sixty bushels per acre. Glover,
small grain and the grasses do well. In
fact, this Is natural stock raising country,
and ought to be to the cotton belt of Ala
bama what Tennessee and Kentucky is 10
the South. The country is splendidly
watered, and there is no lack of power for
machinery, and If capital were but directed
in this direction it would be fine manu-
featuring country as well. We already
have one mammoth cotton factory that will
commence operations about the middle of
March, and the erection of another is to
begin Immediately. The mineral wealth
of the country is untold. East of us but
thirty miles are rich copper and gold mines.
West Of us about the same distance are ex-
tensive and inexhaustible coal felds. Here
We have the finest iron ore to be found in
the Sonth, including the rare and valuable
ore known as speigel ore. In short, the
possibilities of this county are beyond cal
culation. Iron works abound along the
line of railroad that runs through this
ntx, Of
this county being one OF the finest in the
South.
Politically we are all right both AZ to
State and County. Both are s0iidly Dem
ocratic. The white population in this part
of the State are largely in the ascendapcy,
and we have good officers, as will always be
Che case where there is virtuons and intel
ligent constituency behind them.
Pardon tho length of this letter. I
thought that perhaps sketch of this coun-
tg,y might interest some of your readers.
Respectfully,
RoBT. @. HAYNIE. &.
