Clay I'm the SUGGESTIONS.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Please inform me through your Query
column in the next Weekly Dispatch
what was meant by the saying, CLAY
was in the succession" and settle a dis
cussion. Very respectfully, l.. y.
Mannboro', Va.
We are not positively certain as to the
answer that should be given this query,
but think the saying meant shat Mr.
Clay was in the line Of succession to the
presidency. Mr.. Madison was Secretary
of State under Mr.. jefferson, and sue
ceeded him in the presidency. Mr.. Mon
roe was Secretary Of state under Mr.
Madison, and succeeded him i'm the presi-
dercy. Mr.. John Quincy Adams was Sec
rotary of State under Mr.. Monroe, and
succeeded him in the presidency. Mr.
Clay was Secretary of State under Mr.
Adams, and his friends claimed that ac-
cording to the prccedents he should fol-
low in the succession. 1t is proper to
say. however. that Mr.. Smith, of Mary
land, was first appointed Secretary of
state under Mr. Madison, but he resigned
in 1911, and Mr.. Monroe was then ap-
pointed.

Whig about score OF verses, and TO
my mind the finest poem relating to
those awful times. A. i.
Washington, Va.
John Reuben Thompson was the author
of the poem in question. He was born in
Richmond. Va, october %, 1873; died i'm
New York city April 80. 1873. He was
graduated at the University in 1871, at-
terward studied law there. and settled
in Richmond with every prospect OF sue
cess in his profession. But he had al
ways been a lover of literature and
keen student OF II and these proclivities
became more dominant after he had
completed his education. Accordingly, IN
1917. he accepted the editorship OF the
Southern Literary Messenger. This maya
zine was a power I'm it's day, and did no
little to foster a literary spirit among
the younger race of southern men. MI
Thompson brought a great deal OF yea!
and energy into the editorial chair, ana
during the twelve years in which he
successfully carried forward his literary
work in connection with the monthly,
he impaired TO it such a character as no
southern magazine has ever had before
or since. He did much 10 bring southern
talent 10 light. and i'm the pages of the
Southern Messenger Donald G.. Mitchell
first published his "Reveries of Bache-
Tor" and Dream Life"
In 1851 Mr.. Thompson went TO Europe
in search of health. During this absence
he wrote papers for the Southern Mes
senCer which long afterwards he col
Iected i'm book form.
In 1859 he resigned his editorship in
Richmond and went to Augusta Ca,
where he edited the Southern Field and
Fireslde In 1863 he again went abroad,
and choosing London as his residence,
became regularly engaged on the London
Index. and contributed to B.ackwood's
Magazine After the civil war he returned
to America and became literary editor
Of the New York Evening Post
Many of his lyrics are household words
in the South, and among his most adj
mired poems are The Burial of La

ing Company, 1899. Cloth. PIP. 429. With
With Illustrations and an index.
This neat work is highly creditable
TO every one who has had hand in its
production. Wade Hampton is admirably
portrayed as cavalry leader by
writer Of his native State,
and the account OF his gallant exploits
IS handsomely presented in print by "A
publishing house in Richmond, the capt.
tai Of the Southern Confederacy, which
he served so vanantly
General Hampton was a high-born gem
tleman. and yet was not spoilt. but only
melted by his hereditary advantages
After the death of J. f. b. stuart
Hampton was advanced to the chief COM
mand of the cavalry OF the Army Of
Northern Virginia. and had the full con-
hdence of the Incompatible Lee Of
whom the author, Mr.. Wehs. shows the
highest appreciation. With the resources
at his command. and the heavy odds
against him, Hampton rendered splendid
services in the great campaign of 1861,
and richly deserves the eulOgium which
the work before us is designed to give
him. We bespeak for it very extensive
patronage.
