one Of the finest orators in his state.
One of his cousins was Peter Vivian
Daniel, of the United States Supreme
Court and another was John Moncure
Daniel, a distinguished Journalist in
his time.
John Warwick Daniel was educated
at Lynchburg and later at DR.. Gessner
Harrison's University School. When
Virginia seeded from the Union
young Daniel left his studies, and &C.
cepted a commission as second lieu
tenant in the Twenty Seventh yir-
ginia Regiment, which became part of
the Stonewall Brigade. He fought in
THE first battle of Manassas on July
TENDER IA. 1862; Antietam, September
16 and II, 1862; battle of the Wilder
ness, May 81, 1864, in which he held
rhe rank of major and was adjutant
general of Jabal A. Early's division.
During that battle a shell fragment
broke and shattered Daniels leg. He
fell from his horse and would have
bled to death had it not been for the
kindness Of a private, who stopped
the flow of blood by twisting the ad-
jutanr's scarf tightly around the lat
ter's leg.
TINS serious injury put a stop to
Daniels career as a soldier. He was
taken to Charlottesville, Va, where
he slowly recovered from his wounds.
During his convalescence he studied
law, attending lectures at the Univer-
sity Of Virginia in 1865 and 1866 and
began 10 practice with his father, who
had retired from the bench. For ten
years he was president of the Bank of
Lynchburg and in 1869 he married
Miss Juka e. Munnell, of Lynchburg,
who bore him two sons and three
daughters
Young Daniel took great interest in
politics and soon became a leader of
considerable influence. He was elect
ed a member of the Virginia House
of Delegates and served as such from
1869 to 1872. From 1876 to 1881 -
was a member of the Virginia Senate.
He resigned after he had been nomi-

score was II to in Pratt's favor.
1t was a hard fought game. Pratt
played roughly from the start and
in the windup the home boys also
became rather rough.
This is one of the reasons why,to
our mind, football is not an order
ly game. 1t is a strenuous sport
at best and when the players go
in to take advantage of their oppor-
tunities they can easily make it re-
semble a rough and tumble fight.
From a slugging standpoint ii

NJ. II. Evans Dead

NJ. T. Evans, one of Barber coun-
tvs Oldest and most highly respected
citizens, died at his home in north
Sharon township on Monday morn
ing, November z, 1910.
Mr.. Evans was a sufferer from
paralysis for about two years and
it was known by the community that
he could not recover, so that his
death did not occasion surprise.
The funeral will be held today.
Brief services were held at the home
this morning and the concluding
service will be held at Highland
cemetery, this city, this afternoon.
The deceased is survived by three
sons, one stepson and one step
daughter-John Evans, Beatrice,
Nebraska; Bert and Thomas Evans,
and o. French and Miss Josephine
French of this county.
His death deprives Barber county
of another excellent citizen. The
family heave the sincere sympathy
OF their numerous friends.
Mr.. Evans was 79 years, months
and IA days of age.

Chairman Bragg's Error

Chairman Bragg attempted to
convey an impression in last weeks
Cresset that The Index made a
false statement when it stated that
Representative Griffin failed to go
on record about three hundred times
during the legislative session of
1909, and in trying to establish his
point, boldly asserted that only 273
bills came to roll call in the
house.
We are going to be charitable
with Chairman Bragg and say that
he did not make this misrepresenta-
ton wilfully, that he simply didn't
understand how to look the matter
up, but even if his statement in
this regard were correct, The IN
dex's statement would still be mild,
because there were in the neighbor-
hood of 1000 bills introduced and
Mr.. Griffin is on record not over
$50 times.
The fact is that there we're ap-
proXimately asa roll calls on third
reading in the house, as near as they
can be counted. There may have
been a few more or few less, as
it is possible to make an error in
counting, and we have not the time
to go over the Journal very often,
but it is safe to say that Chairman
Bragg missed it close to 200.
| Where he fell down was in count
| ing only house bills. He didn't
think it necessary to count house
resolutions nor senate bills and
and senate resolutions, and we men
tion this merely to teach him that
before bill can become a law it is
necessary that both branches of the
legislature vote ON it. Another
thing that he has not learned is,
that it frenquently happens that
there is more than one roll call on
the same bill. 1t was so in the 1909
legislature.
The election is over and this can
have no bearing on candidates now,
but we do not like to be branded as
a falsifier by such a noted man as
Chairman Bragg when there is no
foundation for it.
Lew was grievously wrong and
we hope that he will come up like a
man and apologize.
