The news and herald. (Winnsboro, S.C.) 1877-1900, 1883-02-15
PCculiarities or Statesmen,

A popularity of speech, of manner or
OF looks. has often been the making of
public man. George Washiagtons
magnificent figure did much for him.
Henry of Navarre's white plume has
caused him to be remembered even more
than his valor. John Randolph's squeak
ing voice first attracted attention to him.
Martin Van Buren's gold snuff-box was
the instrument of working him into III
t1uence. General Jackson's habit of
violent swearing gave him all the repu-
tation he ever had. General Harris on
received the Presidency by living in q
log cabin. Thomas H. Benton made his
reputation by swearing at papor money.
James Buchanan's good looks kept him
in public life half a century, and finally
made him President. Abraham Lin
coins rail splitting experience did much
to originally raise him to the Presidency.
Allen Ct. Thurman made national re-
putation by his use of red bandana
handkerchief. Tom Ooh iltree has made
wide fame by lying. in the presnt
/ Senate George Fl. Pendleton lives on his
department.. Mr.. Edmunds fiourishes
Oh his power of satire. Bayard is dis
tingulshed for his family connections.
Dan Voorhees, lives on the reputation
made by his violent utterances during
the war. MIR. Anthony is conspicuously
known as the only Senator who ever
matched Thomas II. Benton in the
number Of reflections. Hampton and
Butler are known for their peculiar ways
of carrying elections.

sixty Years In tho Service.

At al early hour cvery morning in
the year, there may be seen ut the rail-
road depot at Fourteenth and Main
streets, Louisville, kentucky, n little
old man, wearing tho postal uniform,
busy with tho mails. He is seyenty-flve
yenrs old and his name is DR.. Charles
Q. Green, q local agent for the United
States mails.
"How long have you been in tho mail
service?" reporter asked DR.. Green.
"Sinco 1924, when l began carrying
the mails between Maysvllle and Lex.
ington, by the way of Winchester, Mt.
Sterling, OwinRsville, Sherburn's Mills.
Hillsboro and Flemingsburg. carried
the mails on horseback, making one trip
weekly.
''But L may be said to have been in
tho mail service before 1884," continued
DR.. Green. II was eight years old
when tho battle Of New Orleans occurred,
III 1845. We had all heard that battle
had boon fought, but had no particulars.
On q certain bright. clear morning,
when the snow covered tho ground rs
far as the eye could reach, we awaited tho
ot mlng of the mail carrier with his
pack-horse. Before he came in sight
the stiffness of the air was broken by
cries Of Good news! good newsp People
were awaiting nll along the road for the
approach of the bearer Of the news.
There had boon printed at tho office of
she old Lexington Gazette n number of
slips of paper containing the details of
tho battle and the mail carrier was dis
tributing these broadcast. ! was COM
missioned by my father to carry a
number Of these to the neighbors living
around. I had never worn pair OF
shoes then, and I tramped about the
neighborhood that day in the snow, my
trousers rolled up to tho knees, with
never thought of discomfort"
