Weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-02-07
Col. Bill Farmer, One of the
old Guard.

In the year 1880, I was namby-pamby
Democrat-prepared to believe that party
name was holy talisman, a nomination sufh-
cient to turn a black billy-goat into a snow
white lamb.
To be anything but a namby-panby Dem
crat was foreign to my plans and purposes
I was Reformer, all right, but I was going
to drive the burglars out of my fathers house
and was going to get the reformers inside the
dear old Democratic party.
To this effect I was making ardent, fool
harangues in all the adjacent regions wherever
a dozen or so curious listeners could be assem-
bled.
The burden of my little song was:
Bad men, it is true, have come into the par
ty and have had things pretty much their own
way; but we must drive these bad men out,
put the good men in control, and thus get re-
form inside the Democratic Party.
Oh, had it figured out very convincingly,
| assure you.
At the same time was against Railroad
abuses and wanted to cure them with govern
ment control. No government ownership for
me. --.t
Well, sir, in the course of my careering

acted in it's capacity of sovereign state, voting
itself out of the union by state action.
Had there been in each state throughout the
union division of the people into two great
warning factions, one for the government and
the other against it, the war would have been
both a rebellion and a civil war; But, mas
much as each state which made up the South
ern Confederacy went into it by state action
and as state organization, just as they had
gone into the Union itself or into the old Con-
federation, the conflict was between Southern
states going out of the union and those North
mained in the union.
The mere fact that thousands of Southern
people fought against the Southern Confed-
eracy has no more to do with changing the
character of the war than the action of the
Tories during the Revolutionary War had to
do with the true character of that struggle for
independence.
Consequently, it would really have been bet
ter had Senator Moneys term of 'War be-
tween the States" been accepted
But the fact that Senator Carmack could
secure the adoption Of his designation Civil
War" as a substitute for the old false and in
sulting term, 'FWar of the Rebellion" is suf1-
cient to crafty the whole South.
Really, it is a wonder that Southern Sena-
tors and representatives have so long submit
ted to what was so palpably untrue and often

Weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-02-07
a Curious Literary Forgery.

AS our readers know, we have been publish
ing for some time, one after the other, the
sketches in that rare old book, Georgia
Scenes" One of these sketches published
some time ago is called by the author "Geor-
gia Theatres" 1t is usually alluded to in
conversation as the sketch in which a Lincoln
County man who was "jist sein how I could
"a fout"
Perhaps, there is no one of the sketches in
Georgia Scenes better known than this. The
old people will tell you that the hero of the
story was a man by the name Of Weathers
one Of whose grandsons is now minister of
good standing in one of the great religious
denominations of the state.
To my utter surprise, I received soon after
the publication of Georgia Theatrics,' letter
from Mr.. S. A. Black, of Manhattan Kans.,
in which he says, in the postscript to a letter
upon other SUBJECTS: "Since writing the
above, picked up the Weekly Jeffcrsonian of
January TO- and read Georgia Theatres
After little time it began to sound familiar.
| went back to my bookcase and picked up the
Life of Col David Crockett, written by him
self. On page 256 begins the story of the man
fighting out in the bushes. Then clear
through to the finish it is word for word as
you published in January 10, Weekly Jeffer-
sonian. You claim those Georgia Scenes
were written by Judge Longstreet, while
Crockett's life was written by himself. Judge
Longstreet says this happened in Georgia and
Crockett says it happened on his trip from
Tennessee to Texas in 1886. Now which is
true? The stories are exactly alike, names and
all
Weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-02-07

Strange as it may seem, Mr.. Blacks state
ment is true. I have looked the matter up in
my copy of David Crockett's Autobiography
and on the page cited by Mr.. Black find the
beginning of exactly the same story as is told
in Judge Longstreet's Georgia Theatres.
Now who can explain this? Judge Long
streets book was published in I84o Previous
to the publication of these sketches in book
form, they had been printed in one of the Ga
zettes of the state in 1889 David Crockett
was killed in the Alamo in 1896 His Journal
was published after that time, but just when
I am not at present able to say. My copy of
the Life of David Crockett by himself, was
published by A. L. Burt of New York, but
there is no copyright date-mark, nor is there
any date anywhere in the book to show when
it was published. This of itself is suspicious.
The name of the Editor who prepared the pa
pers of David Crockett for publication it not
given. Just how much padding was given to
his Journal it would be impossible to say.
If any of the readers of the Jeffersonian has
a copy of the early editions of the Autobiog
raphy Of David Crockett we would be glad
to have them examine the book and see wheth
ct these first editions contain this story whose
authorship is thus drawn in question. 1t
is incredible that Judge Longstreet would have
dared to purloin bodily story from recent
ly published life of a man SO interesting to
all the South as David Crockett of Tennessee.
On the other hand, Georgia Scenes has always
been local book 1t has had no national rep
utation. Therefore it is not violent pre-
sumption that an editor should have conceived
the idea Of adding to the interest Of the Crock
EFT diary by cribbing from an unknown book
like Georgia Scenes" the story of the man
who was out in the bushes showing to himself
how he could "a fout.
At all events, Mr.. Black has unearthed a
very curious case of literary forgery
