GREAT LAWYER AND CONvERsATIONALIsT
Among many great lawyers of the South,
Robert Toombs is eminent, and not less so
as d politician and conversationalist. His
home is at Washington, Georgia, the State
in which he was born, on the second Of July,
1910, the son Of father who was in good
circumstances. He was left fatherless at an
early age. His collegiate training, begun
at the University of Georgia, was completed
where he was graduated in 1928. When
nineteen years old he attended law course
at the University of Virginia, and in 1880
was admitted to the bar, by special act Of
the legislature of his native State, about a
year before he had attained his majority.
He opened an Office in the county of his
present residence and in which he was born.
In 1886 he took part captain in campaign
against the Creek Indians, headed by Gen
eral Scott, and conducted in Alabama, and
in which he served with distinction. Soon
after his return home, he was elected to the
Georgia legislature, in which he continued
from 1887 to 1910. He was reelected and
took an active part in its proceedings during
1912 and 1943. The next year after this he
was elected to the United States Congress.
He supported Harrison tor the presidency in
1910, and Henry Clay in 1874. Mr.. Toombs
was a member of the House of Representa-
tives at Washington, from his first election
to 1853, when he took his seat in the United
States Senate. In 1859 he was re- elected to
this body, and retired when Georgia seeded
from the Union. His name was prominent
among those Of the SecessiOnists. After
having acted as delegate in the Confeder-
ate Congress held at Montgomery, he be-
came Secretary of State in the Cabinet Of
Jefferson Davis, but soon retired from this
position to assume a military command,
with the rank Of brigadier-general. When
General Sherman invaded Georgia, Toombs,
who had resigned his position in the Con-
federate army, served as general ofthe State
militia. The failure of the Southern cause
led to his leaving the country, to which he
did not return until 1867, having lived
meanwhile in Cuba, France and England
Upon reaching home he resumed the prac-
tice Of the law, by which he is understood
to have amassed large wealth. Mr.. Toombs'
views on the relation Of the States to the
Federal Government, it is needless to say
remain the same as when he took an active
part in defending what, in his opinion, is
the right of secession by the individual
States
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1884-02-07

In fact Nc kicked and cufed him about
worse than negro. When did he die, and
what was the matter ?"
"Old Mc-came home in a frolic the other
night, took notion and made Downs wash
himself right clean all over, put on clean
clothes, out and out, and, to top all, put him
to bed on clean feather bed. Next morn
ing they found old Downs dead"
\ good laugh followed the exposition OF
the hoax. 1t was repeated from one to an
other until it came to old Mr.. Mc-'s ears.
He did not relish the sarcasm, and laid up
good tongue basting, at least, for Lacey,
when he met him. A vendue in the neigh
borhood, not long after, afforded the oppor-
tunity. A drink or two taken, however,
drowned malice and they were soon togeth-
er, merry as boon companions. Parson
McCarra joined the group, and took more
than one social glass. The whole party felt
their liquor. Nc, stupetied,. fell dead
drunk. Lacey's merry mischief in the as
cendant, with the parsons help, lifted the
PROSTATE Nc on some plank, then COM
posed his limbs, like those of corpse for
burial, placed on each eye silver piece, and
paid McCarra a silver dollar, to preach
Mc-'s funeral sermon over him, which the
latter did. When Nc returned to con-
sciousness, and learned the sport he'd made
tOr others, MS WraCn was lOuu anu StlollS
and for weeks after he carried gun to Kill
Lacey. However, anger died out before he
met the General, and it all at last passed, in
it's proper light, as drunken humor.
Icannot say commend this scence above
the doings of the present generation. 1t
will perhaps, be hard for my readers to
credit me, that two Of the prominent actors
were of the highest respectable ity-in fact,
among the leading men of their communi-
ty-considered themselves as gentlemen
and were deemed so by every one. With
McCarra it was different. His had been q
| higher vocation, and this he had forfeited
by his own weakness. Not preserving the
elevated standard Of morals usually prac'
ticed by the clergy, which raised them SO
far above common men, they were revered
as those to whom lit was given to be called
the sons of God;" while he was deemed fiji
to give zest to an inebriate's gleeful fancy.
He was talented reprobate, and had ne
been true to himself and his calling, the
record of his name might have been one Of
merit and honor, instead of the mournful
memoriam, "An unfaithful Shepherd"

A STRANGE METAMORPHOSIS.

A letter published last week from Win
chester, Va, says: One of the best known
ladies of the Shenandoah Valley, Va, has
turned out to be man. Miss Elizabeth
Rebecca Payne, daughter of the late Joseph
Payne, seven miles from Winchester, who
has lived for thirty-eight years as lady,
suddenly avOwed herself to be, a few days
since, man, and startled James P. Reilly,
Clerk Of the County Court here, by apply
ing for a license to marry Miss Hinton,
who had resided in the Payne family as a
domestic. The lady who fired the heart of
Mr.. Payne with such passion as to compel
him to throw off the habit of lifetime
and declare his sex is progressing and forty
years of age. The strange affair has caused
a decided sensation in the Shenandoah Val
ley and nothing else is talked about. Payne
was brought up as a girl. No one ever
questioned his sex, and his own avowal that
he was a man took away the breath of the
community. Elizabeth Rebecca Payne was
one ola family of six daughters; was brought
up as woman, and was admitted into the
best society in company with the other
members of the family. He was always
regarded as somewhat masculine girl, but
no one ever suspected he was man. He
was most graceful and dashing equestri-
enne, and always challenged admiration as
he frequently rode into Winchester with
his habit and somewhat long hair trailing
| in the wind. He was one of the most wide
ly known ladies in the valley. In addition
to good birth and inherited acres he devel-
Oped remarkable business talent for WO-
man when reverses in the family fortune
rendered it necessary for some one to put
shoulder to the wheel.
His sisters were distinguished for their
culture and personal charms and several of
them married prominent gentlemen. Re-
| becca Payne devoted himself to the man.
agement of farm and to the supervision
of a store which he had established at Rest,
where he also held the appointment of post
mistress. He also dealt in cattle and horses
and became an expert in that way. All his
enterprises prospered and he has acquired
considerable wealth. Determining to marry
he threw off his dresses and applied for
license from the court at Winchester, but
the astonished clerk, who, like everyb body
else, knew him as woman, declined to
issue a license for woman to marry
woman.
When Payne proved his real sex by pro-
ducing the certificate Of DIR. P. W. Mcguire,
of Winchester, the license was still refused
on the ground that Virginia law compels
man to have given names which show his
sex before he can act as man before the
law. Payne then determined to have his
name changed at the March term of the
Circuit Court, which will meet on the first
proXimo. The affair is a nine days Won
der in the Shenandoah and has created more
excitement than any event which has dis
turbed the social circles of the State for
half a century. No explanation has been
offered as to why he has masqueraded so
long as a woman. Rumor has it that Payne
and his sweetheart went to West Virginia
yesterday and were married.

thing was wrong as soon as saw him, but
I hope 1 may be mistaken. If anything
had happened to Mrs. Warren, seems to me
he would have told me right away. If any
thing has happened, like railroad accident,
or sickness, or so on, just hope he won't
be such fool as to 60 startling Mr.: Warren
out, throwing him into another feVer-as
likely as not! Some men are such fools
and as to this Hill, 1 never could abide
him; he doesn't seem to be made of flesh
and blood like other folks"
Her meditations had lasted a considerable
time before there was the sound Of moving
in the parlor and she saw Mr.. Hill come
out and let himself out through the front
door. Then she went into the parlor, and
found the minister crouching over the table,
with his face buried in his hands, like aman
who has received blow, his whole attitude
expressive of utter and abject despair.
