sirous Of finding some relationship to
the SCOTS, OF Buccleugh On examining
the necessary records, Sir Walter says
that he had no reason to believe that
he was related by blood to the above-
mentioned family. IT Is known that the
members Of the different Scotch Clans
take the surilames OF their chiefs, whether
related by blood or not
In the atcr years of his life Sir Wal
ter Scott bore the arms OF the SCOTS, of
Buccleugh. This was said to be by
Royal permission q do not know about
the consent Of the House Of Buccleugh.
Hume mentions this family-the SCOTS
of 3uccleugh-as one of extremely high
distinction, and as "allied to all tho
noblest families In SEQ tland." c.

There is no record, rs can be found,
Of any Of the Franklins coming to vir-

grandson. benjamin Franklin Basch
was born, and was All eminent surgeon
In the navy. The old house at Frank

There was Il Jessie Franklin born in
Orange county 1860, who might have also
E been of tho Pennsylvania Frnnkllns. Hc
was In the Congress of 1795 to 81, and IN
1893 to 1873 was United States Senator
from Virginia. lie then moved to North
Carolina, and III 1890 became Governor
of the State
AS early as 1735-1740 we find In Henrico
Parish records the name OF James Frank

his family there Is nothing stated. ex-

near him. and was proba bly, his son.

A Good Example.


 The November American Monthly con- tains resolutions from the .Pittsburg, Pa, Chapter on the death of enc of its mem- bers, who was a most interesting char acter and whose example it would be well for many "Daughters'' to follow. The resolutions were presented at a national board meeting because the deceased member-Mrs McCandless-was one of the two honorary life members of the National Society, and they are the only ones on whom this honor has been con- ferred.
 Mrs. McCandless was born in 1913. Her father died when she was a year old and she was left to the care and rearing of her mother-Mrs. Sarah Lowney Collins. It Is said that in this home patriotism was faithfully and consistently instilled. and not 22nd of February was passed over; not a 4th of July was forgotten,"- each was observed with proper festivi- ties" It is also said Mrs. Collins never allowed any of her young friends to be- gin housekeeping without warming them they could not expect good luck unless a picture of George Washington hung on their walls" This patriotic mother in- stilled patriotism into her daughter for when the Chapter D. A. R. was organized in Pittsburg. although Mrs. McCandless was then quite an old lady, she very soon became member and was greatly inter- ested in the work, going to the meetings as often as she could and she attended several sessions of the National Congress. She showed her patriotism in a gift she made to the Pittsburg chapter-a crys- l tai chandelier-an article of intrinsic and historic value. It was imported from Ger many in ISIS and was the only in in

 The subject of a suitable marker TOT tho graves of Revolutionary soldiers mas been discussed at several of the Nationai Congresses, and at a number or Sta.o Conferences and designs have been sup mitted, but not one has yet been iouno to meet favor in the eyes of the U.

 Mir. Davenport politely explained that he meant nothing personal.

 "I never thought of such a thing" re- piled Judge McCammon, slowly raising himself from his chair and glaring al Gompers from his six feet three height You are always going around with 6 chip on your shoulder" "I am told there is man in Congress responded Gompers.

 With this the hearing closed and the committee adjourned until next Thurs day. R. H. Watkins.
