Letter From Wayne, West Va.
Editor Democrat:


Editor Democrat:
Here ] come again asking
for a short space in your pa
per.
For some time | have been
thinking of writing my dear
old home paper again, but
until now have neglected to
do 50.
Since | lefc the Old North
State | have ira veled around
and seen many things OF in.
terest to one who never saw
them. 1t ia wonderful to me
to behold large steam boats
moving on the water like a
thing OF life.
We are now residingin that
part of the State known as
the Valley, but it is only wal
ley" in name, with plenty OF
hills and mountains thrown
in for good measure. But ta-
ken as a whole this is a very
grand country, picturesque
and beautiful. You m ay
stand and gaze in any direc-
tion and you will admire the
grand old mountains loom
ing up in the distance. You
may ascend one OF the many
peaks and you will have as
grand a landscape spread
out before yon as eye could
wish for. You may turn in
any direction and see beauti-
full, smiling valleys, covered
with luxurient grass, equal
to the famous Kentucky blue
grass, with hundreds OF fine
cattle dotted on their bos-
oms. The fertility of the soil
together with it's energetic
citizens, makes it a most de-
lightful abode for man.
The people here in general
are very wicked. | believe the
young people OF this commu-
nifty, instead of becoming
more highly cultured are be-
coming professional cursers.
Their vocabularies consist of
enough curse words to reach
around the earth, and they
use them at every opportuni
ty.
We have as warm weather
here now as We had in N. c..
in August; have had but two
frosts and one rain since we
arrived here.
This is a very healthful
country, but with all its at
fractions, it does not keep
my mind from wandering
back to Watauga, and |
long to be there again. Love
to all the readers of the Dem
OCRAT.

Nathan Horton.

The subject of this sketch
was born on New River Ashe
county (now Watauga) on
the 22nd day of Oct, 1929.
and died at Boone Oct. 25th,
1899, aged 70 years and 3
days. He was the son of Phin
eas and Rebccca Horton and
his parents and three broth
ers have all been dead a num-
Der of years,
For more than 30 years
hls life was even and uneyent
full, characteristic Of the days
before the war, but when the
war broke out, he, with his
two brothers, volunteered in
the Confederate Army, first
enlisting in the cavalry and
being a soldier in the COM
mand OF the famous cavalry
leader. Gen. j. E. B. Stewart.
Later he was transferred to
the infantry and belonged to
the 37th Regt. North Caroli-
Ma troops, and Gen. Lanes
brigade, taking part in the
battle of charlottesville and
other battles early in the
war, With his command he
followed Gen. Lee ON his dis
astrous expeditloninto Penn
sylvania and participated in
the terrible battle of Gettys,
b burg on the 1st 2nd and
3rd davs of July, 1868. On
the last day of that awful
conflict, his regiment va g
one that formed the line OF
battle that made tie last
grand effort to drive the Fed
eral army from it's almost i'm
pregnable position. When the
shattered columns almost
won, but were beaten back,
he was left on the b 100 d y
field badly wounded. He car
ried the musket ball received
on that day to his grave and
never fully recovered from
the effects Of the wound. He
was taken prisoner by t h e
Federals and confined IN the
United Sta tes prison at John
sons Island, Ohio, until near
the close of the war, when he
was exchanged and ca IN o
home, being the only one OF
the three brothers that sur
vived the war.
Since the war he was t o r
many years county survey
or and was we'll known in this
and neighboring counties. He
was married May 26, 1875,
to Miss Juliet, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. W. H. Gentry,
and she With three children
survive him. He has lived in
Boone for several years; was
a member OF the NJ. f. church
South, and lived a devoted
and consistant christian life.
What more can be said of
Uncle Nathan. as he W a S
known to everyb body. An ear
nest christian, a faithful sol.
dier, a good and useful citi-
zen, a devoted husband and
father. He lived out his three
score and ten years, disease
attacked him and hp died
easily and peacefully as one
goes to sleep.

respects no law. 10 IT n q
Congress is nothing, the com
mander-in.rhief of the army
everything. 1t disregards con
stitution and statutes and
transfers all power to the ex-
ecutive. The writ OF habeas
corpus does not exist in the
imperial colonies. The pris-
ons OF Cuba, Porto Rico and
the Philippines are vocal with
the cries of men that cannot
be heard beyond the walls.
Imperialism knows no limit,
except the caprice of the Elm
perOr. 1t has the sword, it
will seize the purse. Nay, it
has already defied the limita
tion i'hposen by Congress; il
has expandrd two hundred
millions, where only eigty
were appropriated. 1t has
without authority OF law,
transported immense bodies
Of troops to the other side OF
the globe. 1t has built up an
immense patronage inits con
troll of military appoint
ments. 1t has used this pat
ronage for political purposes.
It's influence is used to dis
credit all the fundamental
doctrines of American institu
tions." Another republican,
Capt. O'Farrell said: "We
hear a good deal about the
trade with the Philippines. 1t
takes from a thousand to fii-
teen hundred dollars a day
to coal each transport on the
Pacific ocean between San
Francisco and Manila. This
coal is imported from Cardiff
Wales. The beef supplied to
our troops and the potatoes
and vegetables come from
Australia. Many OF the uni
forms used by our officers
and men in the Philippines,
are now manufactured in
Hong Kong, while the cost of
our army and navy amounts
to $65. 600 a day. And the
appropriation made by Con
gress for twelve months has
bean expended or wasted in
FIVE months. What a pros
pect for the American tax
payers and workingman.
Inquisitive persons are ask
ing if Mr.. McKinley's coach
man is considered to be in
the classified service? The rea
son for the question is that
Mr.. Mckinley, having for
some reason tired of his old
coachman, had given him a
place in the pension bureau
add then hired d new one.
Both men are negroes. Men
who have passed the civil ser
vice examination, with high
percentages. are unable to
get places, but Mr.. McKin-
ley's coachman can get pla-
ces. but Mr.. McKinlsy's
coachman can get on the pay
roll without any trouble.
The call of Boss Hanna's
Committee for contributions
from this employees OF t b Q

for use in Ohio, is panning
out big. The failure of the ad
miNistration and the civil ser

effective move against the

tened the clerks and they are

That Mr.. Mckinley has be-

shown by the semiomcial an

men are practically unit for Col. Ames,
but the officers are not likely to cham
pion his cause when every one returns
to the ranks Of private life.
The officers are not saying anything at
the present time, but they do not hesitate
to hint that they will give their version of
the Ames affair when they reach home
Col Ames says that If any one attacks
him when Is at home there will be trou-
ble and so a merry fight can be looked
for during the days which will come after
October II, when the Thirteenth is to ar
rive In the TwiR Cities.
DUE TO. POLITICS.
The trouble among the officers Of the
Thirteenth Is without doubt due to poll
tics, and it can only be regretted that so
fine an organization should be torn by
discussions. II Ames had resigned when
he came home San Francisco there
would never have been any trouble. The
colonel states that he intended to resign
when he reached San Francisco, but was
compelled to remain as colonel Of the reg
iment, owing to the serious charges pub
1ished in the Twin City papers. which
were based on alleged letters sent home
from the Philippines by the officers I'M
der him. The officers, however. complain
that Ames sent cablegrams from Japan
asking Gov. Lind to do all he could to
keep him (Ames) as colonel of the regi-
ment It Is this alleged breach Of faith on
the part of Col. Aaes which has started
all the trouble
All talk about cowardice on the part Of
Ames Is moonshine. The enlisted men Of
the Thirteenth Minnesota, who have no
promotion to expect, all say that Ames
was as brave as any officer Of the volun
teer regiments, and the enlisted men
laugh at the charges Of cowardice and
point out that the selfsame officers who
have been crying cold feet" were never
on the firing line and that the most hos
tile man against Ames was in the United
States on leave and only reached Manila
two weeks before the regiment boarded
the transport Sheridan to come home.
Altogether, 1t Is probable that when the
Thirteenth comes home there will be as
lively scrap as was ever witnessed In
the Twin Cities. Every man from the
colonel down to the private in the rear
rank will have something to say, and the
outlook is that the enlisted men have
"hot roast In store for many of the
wearers Of the shoulder straps. "Well-in-
