HON. FRANCIS B. LLOYD.
Career Of the Author Of the "Ru-
fus Sanders" Letters.
was Possessed OF All fhose Grand
Elements That Go to Make Up
Full Type of Noble
Manhood.

The subject of this sketch was born
at Mount Willing, Lowndes county,
Ala, August ~, 1861. For the most part
he was reared on the farm of his IA
Their in Butler county, Ala, and was a
prattling boy during the stormy and
poverty-strie',e dayS OF reconstruc-
ton.
His father, like many in the south,
was left, so to speak, penniless at the
close of the civil war, and, struggling
against poverty to raise his children,
young Barlow was obliged to depend
mainly on the three months public
schools taught during the winter for
an education-eAcepting one session at
the Greenville academy. But he was
ambitious to acquire knowledge, was
very studious, and, though frail in
physique, was often at his books till
midnight after a hard days work on
the farm.
His studies were mostly historical,
poetical and humorous, and being a
close listener and observer OF men and
things, and possessing a fine memory,
he gathered together those views and
ideas which later on made him famous
as the author of the RUFUS Sanders"
papers.
After the production of few poems
and contributions while yet in his
teens, he began to study law with Hon.
j. c. Richardson, prominent lawyer
of Greenville, Ala, at the age of 90.
Here was made his first public speech
on the occasion of Decorating Soldiers
Graves" which was decided success.
When nearly ready to be admitted to
the bar he accepted position on the
staff of the Selma Daily Times as city
editor, and in this connection continued
three years, making many friends and
admirers, and was often spoken of as
= rising young journalist.
About that time Mr. F. P. Glass, one
of the proprietors of the Selma Daily
Times, bought an interest in the Mont
Eomery Advertiser, moved to Mont
gomery and took young Rufus Sanders
with him. Reaching Montgomery he
was at once made city editor of that
sterling and leading journal, the Mont
gomery Advertiser. Here he continued
eight years with wonderful success,
growing in popularity, influence and
usefulness.
In 1856, II years ago, he was happily
married to Miss Lily Carter, a most
amiable, lovely and accomplished young
lady of Butler Springs. -Four interest
ing little children were born of the
union, and now, with the broken
hearted wife and mother, are left to

FEEDING THE ARMY.
Report of Commissary General SuIli-
van for the Past Year.

/ AbSpOEt OA SOslI4ASSHEt
van for the Past Year.
Gen. Thomas c. Sullivan, commits
sary general of subsistence, has made
his annual report of the opera
tons of that department to the secre
| tary of war. The total resources for
the last fiscal year were $2,798,754, of
| which there was a total uneXpended
| balance at the close of the year of $633,
| 545. The total cost of subsisting thr
| army during the year was $1,072, 703
The sum of SIS, SS1 was expended for the
relief Of the sufferers from overflow of
the Mississippi and its tributaries and
the Red River of the North, under spe-
! cial act of congress. Of the total appro-
priations on that account there is bal
ance on hand of $780, 500.
Gen. Sullivan says that an expert
mental trial of the emergency ration
was undertaken by troop e, First caval-
ry, at Fort Sill. o. T., upon a 12-days'
practice march in May, 1897.
This march was made the occasion for
the first practical test of the emergency
ration. For the first two days the men
were subsisted on the full field ration
and for the remaining ten days officers
and men came down to the half-allow-
ance emergency ration prescribed by
general order No. 40. The march was
generally across country, off wagon
roads, and the average number of miles
covered per day in the ten days test was
21. The weather up to the last two
days of the march was exceptionally
fine, and then heavy and almost con-
tinuous rains set in.
Gen. Sullivan says: "The test was
made under conditions in which the
men were not affected by the excite
ments, anXieties and fatigues attend
ant upon dangerous proximity to or &C
tual conflict with an enemy. AS test
under the conditions given, the results
seem to go long way toward establish
ing the efficiency of the emergency ra-
ton as a means Of sustaining the mus
cular power and activity of men under
prolonged physical strain; but its full
efficiency needs yet to be tested by men
situated in or moving in more critical
environment"
The value of the stores lost by acct
dent, by wastage in transportation,
while in store, etc, during the year, for
which no one was held responsible, was
$2.758.16, being greater by $35491 than
that of similar losses in the previous
year.
Supplies lost during the year fer
which responsibility was fixed amount
ed to $263.95, of which S23391 has been
collected. leaving still to be collected
$1,000. Above shows very large de-
crease from losses of like character for
a number of years, except in 1895, when
like losses amounted to but $1S358.
During the year S8,448 was expended
on account of the Apache indian pris-
oners at Fort Sill, o. T, and $500 for the
deportation of the British Cree Indians
and their delivery to the Canadian au.
thorities. Gen. Sullivan urgently rec.
commended a Encouragement of the cler-
zeal force of his office in accordance
with the plan recommended in his last
annual report. The estimates for sal
aries of clerks, messengers and laborers
for the next fiscal year are $40, 76O.

husband and father. After his connec-
ton with the Advertiser ceased-save
an occasional contribution-he began
what he afterwards denominated his
life work''-"The Rufus Sanders
Papers"
In 1S9O-91 F. B. Lloyd was elected to
the legislature from Montgomery coun-
ty and served with distinguished abiI-
ity.
During the fall of 1892 he made tour
of Texas and other states, lecturing in
the interest of his rufus Sanders"
papers. 4 second tour was made some
months later.
He lived in Gilmore, Antanga county,
Ala, in 1898, and the following year
moved to Butler county, bought farm,
built a pretty and substantial home
and proposed 10 live in quiet and retire
pent and give all his energies to his
life work.
Last year, at the earnest solicitation
of his friends, he consented to again en-
ter public life, and became a candidate
for the legislature. Throwing all his
energy into the contest, he was elected,
at the same time achieving signal vic
tory in a hitherto populite county.
This position he was occupying at
the time of his death, and with his
hosts of friends was looking forward
with almost absolute certainty to re-
ceiving the nomination for next secre-
tary of state.
In many cases Francis Barlow
Lloyd was a most remarkable man.
Bright, genial, gifted, he possessed
all the elements necessary to achieve
still further popularity, influence and
success.
A self-made man, he was also a grow
ing man. He was the embodiment at
the same time of humor, pathos, wit,
wisdom, satire, philosophy, suavity,
magnaminity, benetolence, philan-
throphy, goodness-in a word, all the
grand elements, all the grand principles
that go to make up full type of noble
manhood.
Though conspicuously modest he yet
possessed enough of that laudable am
bition and fixed resolution to push him
to the front, as it were, without an in
dividual effort. All the time as the
years passed on he was moving onward
and upward. Too grand to bend, too
true to dissimulate, too noble to stoop.
he seemed to be moved forward by these
very elements of grandeur and nobil-
ity inwrought in the very texture of
his nature.
More. He was as good as he was
great. Always from his very childhood
he was kind, generous, loving, true, I'M
selfish, ready at all times to crafty the
wishes of his friends and loved ones
even at the cost of great personal sacri-
fee.
He was warm and affectionate ma
ture. He was a friend to everybody,
high and low, rich and poor, everybody
who was capable of approaching or
willing to accept his friendship, and
was always genial, courteous, pleasant
