.LINEAL DESCENDANT
OF POCAHONTAS NOW
VISITING THIS CITY
Is One of Three Bearers Of the Pow
hatan Name and Is Manager Of
Tobacco Company in
New York

att seems to be a popular superstition
among those who have grown old
enough to forget their high school his
tory that Capt. John Smith married
Pocahontas." said Powhatan G. Cor
don, a lineal descendant of Pocahontas,
who arrived at the Alexandria yester-
day on business trip.
TT would have been very courteous
of him to marry the lady after she went
to all the trouble Of preventing her
father, Powhatan, from chopping OFF
Smiths head, but he did not do 1t.
However, he showed his appreciation
by taking the girl to England, intro
duced her at court and finding a huS-
band for her in the person of Sir John
Rolfe. They had one child, girl, who
returned to Virginia and married one
of the Randolphs, an ancestor of John
Randolph. There are many descend
ants of this pair, but there are only
three Powhatans in this country. The
name has descended from father to son
in our family, and l am seventh In
line from PocahontaS."
Mr.. Gordon, who shows plainly in
his features his Indian lineage, is the
manager of the Seidenberg Tobacco
company of New York. He is accom-
panied by J. M. Connolly, who will be
the Pacific coast representative of the
company and will be stationed at San
Francisco. Mr.. Gordon, who has been
in most of the large cities of the coun-
try in the past few months, spoke of
the great revival of business.
I'VE are simply wallowing in pros
perity," he said, "and there are only a
few old mossbacks who continue to cry
hard times. All aggressive and wide
awake men are doing business. Pas
senger traffic on the roads is phenom-
email, and one must wire ahead to Sc
cure berth. All other industries, with
the possible exception of mining, are
doing volumes of business. Very few
mines are worked steadily at any time,
so they are hardly to be reckoned with.
I'm my opinion Los Angeles is the
best retail business town in the coun-
try. For a town of it's size the amount
of business done is enough to make an
easterner sit up and scratch his head"
Mr. Gordon and Mr.. Connolly are
staying at the Alexandria hotel.
