NOTED SOUTHERN MAKER OF RE.
PUBLIC is AN EXILE FROM
Y HONDURAS.

Jackson, Miss, April 29.-For a
time at least the attention Of Missis-
sippians will be diverted from the do
ings of one Senior Carranza, old Vic
Huerta, Won Hindenberg and the rest
of the European war idols to watch
with bated breath what General Lee
Christmas, Americas soldier of for
tune, leader Of revolutions and man Of
affairs generally in South America,
will do next. 4
1t, is local history that the doughty
general was once familiar figure in
this city, being a railroad engineer
from Memphis to New Orleans and to
other points ON the Y. and v. So
the story goes, and the reporter for
lack Of personal knowledge does not
vouch for 1t, the general once sat in
q rather fast game of draw in the Ed
wards House. The blue sky was the
limit and if crow bar would have
reached it, the boys would have raised
it.
At the end of the seance the gen.
eral was strapped, barring meal tick
ct and two or three beer checks. He
had severed his connection with the
railroad pay roll and things looked
dark.
Then it was he declared that if he
] had stake and uniform he would go
to South America, start revolution
and do something for himself. ...
R. v. Rachford, deceased, had been
doing lot of soldering in the Missis-
sippi National Guard and had blue
uniform, all mussed up with gold lace
and braid and eagles and other fancy
fringes and this he donated to the gen
eral who was then without any army.
Christmas departed and the next
thing heard of him he was running
two or three revolutions in South Amer
lea for diversion and 16 carat lottery
for livelihood. For some time past
Gen. Christmas has been comman-
dante Of Puerto Cortez in Honduras.
Recently the government notified him
to close lottery paying some 5000
pesos month or resign. General

custom left the country an exile, being
