The news OF The death ofjdeu+oaant
General John T. Gordon. 4ha diad Il
his winter home at Mami. Tia. al
1906 Saturday night, Was received
with sincere regret IN Pine HJHf.
where General Gordon had many warm
pers nal friends.
Col. j. b. Trulock aud Capt \. T.
Roberts were members of General
GOrlon's staff in the United Confed-
crate Veterans and to them, more than
to others. is the loss keenly felt. The
local camp OF Confederate Veterans
will pass suitable resolutions as soon
as orders come from headquarters and
a meeting can be held.
Gen Cor Ions fatal illness, which
overlook him last Wednesday, was
congestion of the stomach and liver,
following an acute attack of indiges-
ticn to which he was subject.
General Gordon was born in Upson
| county, Georgia, July 6, 1882, of Scotch
ancestry, which had prominent part
| in the Revolutionary war.
Young Gordon graduated from the
| Georgia state university in 1852, and a
| fnur he. lot o1r n1 to 20
practice of law. Early IN 1861 he en-
listed in the volunteer Confederate ser
vice and was selected captain of his
company. He rose rapidly by promo
ton to be lieutenant colonel Of the
Sixth Alabama infantry, in December,
| 1861. He participated in the struggle
on the peninsula, had part in the bat.
tie at Malvern Hill, and was commits
stoned brigadier general in November,
| 1862 He was in command at Chancel-
! louisville and in the Pennsylvania cam
! paign He was at the battle Of Gettys-
| burg and the battle Of the Wilderness,
al Spottsylvania courthouse.
In May, 1864. he was promoted to
important battles which marked the
closing scenes Of the civil war His
hearing was characterized by boldness
and a dash which made him the idol
OF his soldiers. In an c.1icial report
OF General B. II. Hill, General Gordon
was characterized as "the Chevallier
Bayard OF the Confederacy." wen
hOstilities were ended, he called his
men about him and advised them to
bear the trial of defeat, TO go home in
peace. obey the laws and rebuild the
wasted country.
He has taken prominent part in
the councils of his party since 1866
He was a defeated candidate fcT gov
ernor of Georgia IN 1865, and in 1873
and 1879 was elected 70 the Un!ted
States senate.
Resigning that position in 1880, he
participated actively in building the
Georgia Pacific railroad. In 1886 and
1855 he was elected governor Of Geor-
gia, and in 1890 entered again tho
United States senate for the full term.
Since his retirement from political
activity he has devoted much of HIS
time to his lecture upon "The Last
Days cf the Confederacy."
Since the organization Of the United
ConfederateVeterans he has held Tic
position of its 'omIaander-ia- chief, and
his frequent reflections to that posi-
tion have testified to the warmth of
affection in which he has been held
in the south.
The death Of General Gordon leaves
out one surviving lieutenant general
in the Confederate army, General S.
b. Buckner, of Hartsville, Ky, who
ran for vice president several years
| ago en- the Palmer and Buckner ticket.
