SOUTHERN THoRoUGHBREDs.
Fine Horses Raised in the Days Before
the Civil War.

In ante bellm days there was 4 pas
sion all over the country for breeding
and racing fine stock. IN Tennessee,
Virginia, North and South Carolina, Al
ALBANIA and Louisiana it amounted to a
craze. No expense was spared to Inn
mort scions of the three fundamental
lines that had been established III Eng
land ON the Arabian. Turkish, and Bar
barry original stock. Vast enterprise
was exhibited in this direction. 1t IS
remarkable that in the days of greatest
scarcity of coin. when "a ham of meat
and side of bacon was legal tender
between neighbors, numbers of planters
went themselves or sent agents with
gold across the ocean to procure sires
and dams for the future produce of
their paddocks.
General John Sewer, the first govern
or of the state, who came TO the Wa
tauga Valley from Virginia before the
revolution, imported into the valley
the best blooded horses he could obtain
in Virginia. His ardor for the race
course was attestcd by the circumstance
that he named the Virginia town found
ed hv him for a city in England noted
Sewer made study OF blood lines,
and bred horses for speed, to use for
quick dispatches, especially i'll time of
war, throughout the border country
over which he ruled
With his thoroughbreds he cstab-
| lishcd the best system Of rapid commu-
lnication then in existence on the con.
tincnt For quick dash after Indian
maraudcrs, or as fast run away from
them. Sewer and his "tall Wataupa
| boys" were never caught unprepared.
Zeal to this end led him to practice
his diamonds of the desert oftenel
than strict Sabbatarians would ap
I prove. For, truth to tell. he had :
horse race every Sunday.

 As he entered the train and push ed his way through the crowd, he heard a girl whisper, ''There's Stuart .Holmes!"
 Somebody else in the nelghbor- hood must have heard it, for the crowd involuntarily drew back. Around Holmes a little clearing be- gan to form, and as the message passed from one to another, the clearing grew.
 Finally the actor found himself with no end of space to spare, while everybody else in the car was crowd ed together. He moved toward the row of occupied seats, in an effort to let the rest of the passengers have more space.
