notice of Thomas M. Golden's death.
Thirty years ago-a life time for many
people-Tom and I occupied intimate
positions on the Columbus (Ga.) Sun.
He was the efficient foreman of the
composing room and 1 was temporarily
the city editor. Every night we were
on duty together getting off the last
forms of the paper. Frequently, just
as we were saying good night" the
fire alarm or whistle of a river steam
er offered a chance to get a late item
of news and SCOOP" the Enquirer
across the street. Tom never object
ed to wait on me as 1 'scooted" after
the desired item, but always seemed
glad to hold the forms and get in the
items. Our relations to Vlch other
were most cordial, and 1 have always
kept a warm place in my heart for
Tom. l had lost sight of him in late
years, but am pleased to know that
he was for twenty years connected
with the Morning News establishment.
which fact shows that 1 did not place
too high an estimate upon his good
qualities. His brother and sister in
Columbus, were among my cherished
friends for many years, and now they
have all passed away God rest their
souls in eternal peace. Tom Golden
was a brave Confederate soldier bat
tle-scarred in body, but generous and
fraternal with his old foes after the
war ceased.

She was proud OF ner SOnS ueSlIe "
serve their country as their father had
done.
Now, to make plain the injustice done
to the noble mother of Admiral David
d. Porter, in Soleys book. let me note
a thrilling event in her life. When
the Mexican War opened her son, The
odor H, was a second lieutenant in
the Fourth United States Infantry, on
the Mexican border, having entered the
service in 1889. His brother, David D.,
was also Il lieutenant in the United
States navy and on duty in that vi
cinity. Lieut.. Theodore H. Porter was
killed in a skirmish with Mexican
troops on April 9, 1916, and when he
fell he cried out to his soldiers: Fight
on, boys! Take care of yourselves.
And when Lieut.. David D. Porter, U.
S. N, learned of his heroic brother
death, he said his father had given
him a sword as his only bequest, and
with that sword he would avenge his
brothers fall or share his fate Sa-
Vannah readers of these letters will
readily recall the heroic deaths of the
Habersham brothers at the battle of
| Atlanta. Capt. Joseph Clay Habersham
of Gen. Gists' staff fell in front Of
! the Forty-siXth Georgia, which he was
! inspiring by his gallant conduct. His
brother, William Neyle Habersham,
| Jr., was a private in the Savannah
Cadets of the Fifty-fourth Georgia, and
when he heard of his brothers fate,
| like Lieut. Porter, he pressed forward
| to aVenge his death. But, alas! un-
! like Porter, he, too, fell with his bright
young face fearlessly to the foe. They
were heroes who had been inspired by
patriotic mother and brave ances-
try.
In the case of Lieut.. Porter, when
his mother, in her far-off home, learn
ed of his heoric death, there was no
selfish though for the safety of her
other son, David, but with a sublime
fortitude she sent to him this patriotic
command: Come not to me, but go
the other way, to avenge your brother
and defend your country" Such were
the wives and mothers who made the
Revolutionary War successful, after
conquering the hostile Indians, and
then, by their never varying heoric
patriotism, kept the Banner Of Free
DOM" the glorious old stars and
Stripes" victorious, finally in every later
war. When Gen. T. S. Woodward call
ed on the mother of Isaac Brown, in
| Twiggs county, Ga, in 1918, to have
her son go with him to join Gen. An
drew jackson down in Florida, this
brave and patriotic mother placed her
hands upon her sons shoulders, and
looking him full in the face, said:
Isaac, my son. the Indians killed your
father, and may kill you; but had
rather hear of your being killed than
to hear that my son had acted the
coward" The man who can write a
life Of the son OF any such mother
and didn't mention her character, de-
serves even severer criticism than the
Oakland Enquirer put upon Soley's life

thing, but love OF Country has made

IL years old, she sent David D. Porter
with his father to fight the West In
dies pirates. This boy went into the
navy as a midshipman in 1929 and died
a full admiral in 1891. David Porter,
Jr., also entered the navy but Theo-
dore Fl. Porter made choice of the
army in which to serve his country.
The distinguished career of the father
in the old navy, even in their boyhood,
had inspired the sons with a desire to
follow in his footsteps, and this desire
had been fostered by the patriotism of
! a mother whose love of country mas
tered all selfish desires on her part.
She was proud of her sons desire to
serve their country as their father had
done.

Huron. S.. D., Oct. 2~4.-Professor
sor Voigt, teacher of violin in Huron
college, while in Highmore a day or

narius violin. II. G.. Middlebrook of
Highmore, while in Chicago, was in
specting some old ones in a pawn shop
and finally purchased one. The dealer
was so apparently we'll pleased with
the sale that he made the purchaser a
present of an old, cracked and compar-
alive worthless instrument, covered
with black paint the mildew of
ages. M~iddlebrook ook the violin
home, removed the paint, Axe it up for
use and was both delighted and aston
ished at the tone. Consequently he kept
the instrument and now through the
fortunate visit of Professor Voigt is
appraised of it's great value.
