LETTER Of AN
AGED TEACHER
DID THE WORK
SPEAKER JENNINGS WAS EN-
ABLED BY IT TO GET FAVORA-
BILE ACTION ON HIS BILL TO
PENSION AGED TEACHERS.
BN j. Il. Reese.

Tallahassee, May 3.-Yesterday af-
ternoon when Mr.. Jennings, of Escam-
bia, succeeded in getting his bill for
the pensioning of aged teachers passed
to the engrossing committee in spite
Of a motion to indefinitely postpone,
made by the vice. chairman of the
committee on education, Mr.. Ellis, of
Alachua, whose duty it was under the
rules in the absence Of Chairman Wat
son, under an unfavorable report Of
the committee on the bill, more than
half the credit for the action of the
house was attributed by Mr.. Jennings
to a letter which he read in the house,
and for which he descended from the
speakers stand and took his place on
the floor. The letter was from an
aged teacher of Escambia county, one
who, Mr.. Jennings said. was we'll
known and beloved of everybody who
knew him. The letter follows:
THE LETTER.
Brent, Fla, April 26, 1911.
My Dear Mr.. Jennings.
Yours of 23rd to hand. I see Pen
sion Bill 1877 has been placed on second
reading. and as a friend and brother
1 earnestly ask you to read the fol-
lowing statement for me.
1 was born the third Of January
1928; and am in saith year. 1 have been
regular teacher in the schools of
Florida ever since 1850. I have taught
in rural schools, thus giving the poor
people an opportunity to gain practical
education. My average salary has not
been more than $4,000 per month. The
average time not being more than five
months in a year. I believe the pension
will be passed ultimately; but not till
1 am dead and gone. Now, humbly
beseach the honorable legislature to
get busy and pass the bill at this term
in order that / may have a few days
rest, knowing that my family will not
suffer thereby. My wife IS 81, and we
have one widowed daughter and her
sixteen months old son on our hands
to support; so you see it don't require
an expert to see am in a tight. I am
pronounced too old to teach by an un-
grateful world. I am too old to do
common labor, and unless the bill can
be passed this term can not see what
am to do but to starve in a country
that 1 have worked for sixty-on
years. Now, dear brother, wish this
used as an open letter that will reach
all the members.
Wishing you all success, am yours
fraternally,

and asked him to deliver this tele-
gram" to Mr.. Wall, after first inquiring
if he knew Mr.. Wall.
"ExHIBIT A."
The house messenger, who is an old
man, say about sixty-five, said he was
in the habit of delivering letters to
the members and took the so-called
missive. Mr.. Wall, it is said, was told
to look at the message when he
reached his room. He testified that it
was after dark when he received the
alleged telegram, that he had heard
from his people at home, and knew in
reason that the message was not from
home. After eating supper he looked
at the message, So called, and discov-
cred the three bills, a hundred dollar
bill and two fifty dollar bills. 1t was
then that he called Senator Baker in
and disclosed the fact to him, and i'm
mediately proceeded to hunt up the
messenger of the house to give the
money back to him to be delivered to
the party from whom it had come in
the first instance.
There is one exhibit so far in the
archives of the investigating commit
tee and this IS labelled Exhibit A."
It is the end of a Western Union Tele-
graph Company's envelope, which was
torn on by Mr.. Wall and stuck into
his pocket when he opened the en-
velope which contained the money.

money along with instructions for the

taking from his desk a sheet of paper,
began to write what seemed to be

when the senate adjourned that
day the senators, in conversation
with one another, differed in their
view of Webster's ability to reply to
Hayne. All knew that he would re-

his abilities as an orator and a states
man would be measured

Webster fixed upon his anxious
adherent his great solemn eyes and

fingers of one hand, in the customary

Porter's Tribute to Grant

General Grant" said General Porter.
Il believe that that attitude is with
out any precedent. The commander of
the Union army, who at one time stood
firmly in the support of the findings of
the court-martial, of his own accord
publicly confesses that he was griev-
ously mistaken, and by that mistake
shared with others in the cruel MUS
tice that was done to me-
You may remember" continued
General Porter, that the charge upon
which | was tried by court-martiaI
was that l had disobeyed orders on
the first day Of the second battle Of
Bull Run, and that because of my dis
obedience General Pope was DISASTROUS
ly defeated. Notwithstanding the fact
that evidence was brought before the
court-martial to show that it was i'm
possible for me to have obeyed the
order alleged to have been sent to me,
nevertheless was convicted. | then
knew for the first time what the agony
Is to an innocent man who has been
convicted of a grave crime
Those of my friends who knew
General Grant well told me that there
never lived a man with a more de-
voted sense Of duty or of loyalty to
