our young people than everything

One day the pump at London got out
of order and he went down in the
deep well to fix 1t, but failed. A Sec
ond time he tried it, but 1t would not
work, and the water in the reservoir
was getting low. He telegraphed to a
neighboring town for an expert to
come by the train. He came and fixed
it in half an hour Frank felt relieved
and thanked him and asked him for
his bill. Ten dollars" he said; "two
dollars for railroad fare, So for fixing
the pump aud S. for knowing how"
That's it; knowledge is money.
Some time ago l advertised for q
copy Of General Henry r. Jackson's
famous speech on the "Wanderer, "and
also for a copy of Daniel Webster's
last and greatest speech made at Ca
pom Springs in June. 1851, in which he
qualified all his previous declarations
about the right of state to withdraw
from the union under certain contin-
gencies. That speech was suppressed
at the north and is not found in his
published works.
Well, | have been favored with both.
Senator Mangum, of North Carolina,
heard the speech delivered and he,
with other southern members Of con-
gress had it printed in pamphlet form,
and his grandson, Wiley Mangum Tur-
ner, of Greensboro, N. c., has found it
among his grandfather's papers and
sent it to me. My friend, Mr.. Ed Hol-
land, of Atlanta, Ca, has had both
speeches neatly printed in one PAM
phlet, together with a brief biography
Of General Jackson by his friend, Jo-
seph M. Brown, and this invaluable
pamphlet will be mailed to any adj
dress on receipt of % cents.
1t will be sent to students Of col
leges at the cost of publication. Ad-

there and that the veterans Of Mem

nouncng Mr.. Davis (who was dead) as
| the arch traitor and repudiator, it
seems to me to be the most unblush-
ing impudence for him to put his feet
on that hallowed ground. He says in
his so-called- history that when Mr..

never was governor, nor did he ever
advocate Reputation. Teddy, old boy,
when are you going to retract and
send an apology to Mrs. Davis, who
still lives. You say in your book that
we were all traitors and anarchists.
How about your Uncle Captain Bull
loch who served with Admiral
Semmes in our navy, of whom you
wrote SO gushingly to Mr.. Cunning
ham, saying he was a most admirable
man and very like the Colonel New

praise upon him in s"The Veteran" l
