MIR. BUTTON DENIES.
Never Said What He Is Charged with
Saying About President Davis.

Recently there was printed a letter
from Professor Miles, OF Radford. Va,
in which the following occurred:
One OF the summer normal institutes
for the State teachers was held in Rad
ford this past July. A Mr.. Frank O.
Payne. OF Glen Cove. L. l., was employed
by Superintendent Massey as one OF the
instructors-a teacher for teachers This
Mr. Payne. in writing back home to his
town paper, the Glen Cove Harbor
Lights. in a letter dated East Radford
July 10, 1897. made this remarkable state
ment. among other remarkable state
ments:
Nowhere have 1 seen any picture of
JEFF Davis, and the history lecturer
here told me that Jeff.' Davis Is coming
to be considered man of the type OF
Aaron Burr and Benedict Arnold Time
Is a great sitter of men and reputa-
tions"
This led to resolutions being intro
duced in Lee Camp. Sons of Confederate
Veterans, censuring Superintendent-of-
Public-Instruction, Hon. John +. Massey,
who, in a reply through the Dispatch,
said:
The teacher Of history at Radford
ton, of Culpeper, Va, whose loyalty to
the South or it's heroes i never heard
questioned. Had I supposed he enter
tanned such opinions of the heroes of
the Lost Cause" as he is reported TO
have expressed, he would never have
been employed by me.
Mr.. Button was then asked by the Dis
patch to give his explanation OF the mat
ter and yesterday the Dispatch received
the following letter from him:
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
There appeared letter in the Rich
mond Times of August q, 1887, credi.ing
me with making statements at the Sum-
mer Normal, held at Radford, Va. de-
rogatory to the fame and honor OF our
leaders In the Lost Cause, specially TO
the honored Davis.
/ pronounce the whole as an Infamous
falsehood. There Is no man in all our
broad Southland to whose heart The
memory OF our southern heroes is dearer
than TO mine. And never in any of my
public or private utterances have failed
to hold up Davis. Lee, Jackson, and our
other southern leaders as model states
men, soldiers, and Christians.
l consider any southern man holding
the sentiments credited to me In said
letter as more Infamous than Burr, an

KESWICK. VA, September 4-(Spe-

tertainment of years was given In the
large depot building at Keswick. 1t was
the crowning event OF the season, and
the wit. beauty, and fashion OF tn coun-
ty were present in numbers 10 grace the
occasion.
For a week or two past II has been
whispered in the Hobbies that the Keswick
Hunt Club was going 10 give an enter
tainment OF some sort for the benefit or
its new clubhouse, which ~ not yet
entirely completed. As the club EN-
braces In It's membership many prominent
people Of Albemarle. a great success was
expected. and a great success has been
scored. Theatricals were the amusements
OF the evening and the two pieces chosen
for the occasion were Mortons laughable

Verdi, De Koven. Sullivan, Gounod, and
others. The brilliant success achieved by
the actors in Lend Ne Five Shllings"
has already been noticed in these col
umns. and IL is sufficient now To say that
last evening they excelled themselves.
The artistic finish displayed I'm the rem
ultlOn Oh the play was lcniti hdOie'b bHo
the actors were applauded TO the echo.
AS formerly, the piece was cast as fol-
lows: Moreland, Prince Troubetzkoy;
Sam. Mr.. Allan Potts; Mrs. Major
Phobbs, Miss Roso Page; Mrs. Captain
Phobbs, Miss Constance Page; Captain
Spence, Mr.. st. George Bryan; Major
Phobbs, DR.. J. NJ. Page; Mr.. Golightly,
DIR. r. w. Page.
The roles in the operetta were taken
thus Lucy Ann. Miss Ruth Korr; Sopheo-
mia Skeggs. Miss Reta Kerr; jacob,
Mr.. c. r. Ruffin. The acting here was
splendid, and the house was kept In a
perfect uproar Of laughter from the be-
ginning to the end. The Misses Kerr
were exceedingly graceful, and their roles
played to perfection. Mr.. Rufiln is too
well known on the boards at Keswick to
need mention. He Is the zone and only
Ruffin."
Miss Recardi, of Washington, played
the accompaniments for the operetta with
exquisite touch and accuracy.
The door receipts passed expectation,
and the next entertainment of this cha
racter will doubtless be held in our splen-
