grizzled locks, while the rest Of his make
up is in keeping with his head-gear. When
he first rises to his feet TO address him
self to any subject his voice is rather
weak and quavering, but he soon ele-
Yates his tone until he is plainly heard in
any portion of the hall.
SPEECHES SHORT AND POINTED.
Five minutes is about as long as he
ever talks upon one subject, but every
second he holds the body, and the mem
bers hang upon his every word. The rea-
son for this is that he never gets upon
his feet without really saying something.
He always hits the nail fairly upon the
head. and with five whacks sends it
home, while others often consume half
an hour In attempting the same feat and
only mash their fingers for their trouble.
Self-conceit does not enter in his COM
position a Dispatch reporter asked the
Captain for a short sketch of his life. 10

one event in my life," he said; II was

Between the two there will be one long
blank"
HIS OWN SKETCH.
Upon being pressed, however to jot
down a few of the occurrences Of his
life, he did so, and in q few minutes
handed the scribe the following brief
synopsis, which is characteristic Of the
man:
Born August 16. 1896 in a cabin on
Staunton river, in Bedford county-out
of sight Of everything except Smiths
mountain. Uneducated, except in COM
mon schools TO II years Of age Earned
my own living from age Of -. Taught
common schools; been observation-disclosures
Entered Confederate service as cap
tain Company G., Twenty-eighth Virginia
Regiment. Did nothing Of much conse-
quence. Did not run any or fight
much. After war-all lost Went TO
work-never earned much. and lost that
by flood in Roanoke river in 1877. Since
been a poor farmer-always paid debts. !

Democrat. Still a captain-not a major |
or a colonel, but plain captain. Guilty |
Of many indiscretions and many foolish |

SPEAKS WITH A PURPOSE.
Mr.. William CabelI Darlington, Of Char

Captain Minter in one respect-that is,
he does not consume much Of the time
