After ia Years Grave
Of Kentucky Hero Found

After nearly twenty-five years OF
searching, the ashes of Presley
O'Bannon, heroic Kentuckian, who is
believed to have been the first Amer
lean to plant an American fiat in
foreign soil-in Tripoli LA years
ago-have been exhumed and will be
reinterred in the state cemetery at
Frankfort, Ky.
O'Bannon was buried in the Pleas
ureville cemetery in 1850, according
to the inscription, almost obliterated
by time and the elements, found
upon the small, Splain slab marking
his resting place.
From the fact there are O'Ban-
mons in Henry county who claim
kinship with Presley O'Bannon
O'Bannon is believed to have been
a native of Kentucky. He was in
his seventy-ffth year when he died.
1t was at the ancient city of Der
ma, Tripoli, on the shores of the
Mediterranean sea, in 1905, near the
close Of the six-year war with Tri-
poll, that Captain William Eaton, Of
Alexandria, Egypt, commanding a
detachment of 500 men, among whom
was O'Bannon, took the famous for
tress.
There Captain Eaton called for
volunteers to plant the American and
British flags, and O'Bannon was
quickest of all those who responded,
and got the commission, executing
it, as history relates, successfully

Ancestor Owes
$50 to an EnuIiSh COLLEGE

George washington having been
the father Of his country it is with
grave surprise that the United States
hears that somebody, rummaging in
the ancient accounts of Brazenose col
lege, oxford university, has discov-
cred that its great-great-great -grand-
father still owes that institution ten
pounds three-seven, or something
over $50. An entry on the books
notes that "Mr. Washington is to
be sued" but there is no discoverab}e
witness that Brazenose college ever
collected. A British paper cheerful
ly suggests that some patriotic
American settle the old account
with compound interest.
Lawrence Washington, great-great-
grandfather to George, and therefore
great-grea at-grandfathe to the
United States. became a fellow of
the college after taking his degree
in 1922, and remainder in residence
till 1912, when the Civil war may
have called him away in such haste
that he overlooked the Indebtedness.

May 1, 1919.
Mr.. w. L. Stricken, Prest.,
S. S. T.. Newman. Ga.
Dear Mr.. Stricken:
Suppose you Will be surprised
to hear from me again, but you
must remember that I don't ever
forget my friends. 1t has been
quite a while since I had any
news from the "Old Reliable S. S.
T." How is the School and all
the students progressing now?
Fine, [ hope, for I always feel a
deep interest in the welfare Of
the dear old institution and it's
students.
[ have been with the Texas &
Pacific Railroad nearly two years
now and have been promoted sew
eral times. Am sending you my
card which shows that I have a
fine position. Have been in New
Orleans about one year. Part of
Dispatcher, and balance of the
time as LIST trick" Operator.
Good deal of work attached to it.
but when you know how it is all
very easy and pleasant. Business
is extra good. Last summer 1913
we all got an increase over here
that averaged about 80 per cent.
All the boys seem to be we'll sat
isfed. My monthly salary is now
S245, including the overtime 1
make.
I enrolled as a student at your
School June 10th, 1914, and after
studying Telegraphy there several
months accepted a position as
Telegraph Operator on the New
Orleans Great Northern Railroad.
at Franklinton. La. Worked for
the n. Q. c.. \. until / entered
the employ Of the Texas & Pacific
Railroad.
I want to say that the money
and time I spent at your school
learning Telegraphy and prepar-
ing for the railroad service, was
the very best investment I ever
made. Before entering the S. S.
T. l was working on the farm al
Plckwick, Miss. I got tired Of
farming; the work was too hard;
there wasn't much money in it,
and besides, I couldn't see any
bright prospects for me. So I de-
cided to enter railroad work.
There are fine opportunities in
the railroad field for young men
of grit and determination, and J
would advise any young man that
wants to make a success in life
to enter the Southern School of
Telegraphy at Newman and pre-

HISTORY OF FORD'S SUIT
AGAINST CHICAGO TRIBUNE


1t was on June 80. 1917. after
Mexican bandits had raided Column
bus, N NJ, and military preparedness
was a burning issue, not only be-
cause of the Mexican menace, but
because of the conflagration in Eu-
rope that the Chicago Tribune
printed its famous editorial headed
ford Is an Anarchist"
Editorial writer's Of the Tribune
testified that they had followed Mr.
Fords pacifistic propaganda, but
had not recognized. it as real dan
was received from Detroit that Mr..
Ford was trying to discourage the re-
cruiting of the guard which had
been ordered to the Rio Grande. The
item, authenticity of which was de-
MED by Ford witnesses, stated that
salaries of employees who went to
the border, hold their places for
them nor care for their dependents.
It was then that the editorial was
written. 1t called Mr.. Ford an "1g-
norant idealist,'' and remarked that
his views on disarmament might be
different if his factories were on the
Rio Grande instead of the peaceful
Canadian border.
Counsel for the manufacturer at
first filed suit in the federal court
at Chicago, but lateS withdrew 1t
and instituted proceedings in the
state court at Detroit. Here the Tri-
bune applied for change of venue
and Judge James G. Tucker, of the
circuit court of Macomb county. at
Mount Clemens, was agreed upon to
hear the case. Selection of jury
began May u. 1t consisted of elev-
en- farmers and one roadbuilder.
A feature of the case was the pro-
duction by the defendant of more
than twenty witnesses from the
70 To RI dc
murders and other acts which to the
mind of Tribune counsel established
the fact that there was a condition
of anarchy along the border.
Prof. Reeves, of. the University OF
tilted that many of the Ford utter
ances corresponded with the teach
ings of well-recognized anarchists.
He gave definitions of the word
Anarchist" which contained no ref
erence to mountaineering, but which
denoted one who works to overturn
the government.
Counsel for the defendant argued
that government exists only so far
as it can enforce its DEGREES and
protect the lives and property of it's
citizens, that without force there
can be no government and that
where there is no government there
is anarchy. Therefore, they sought
to establish that in opposing the re-
cruiting of soldiers Mr.. Ford oppos-
ed government itself, and, by the
same token, sought to establish
anarchy.
Counsel for Mr. Ford attempted
to prove that the editorial was writ
ten in malice-specific malice-as
well as the malice assumed in the
publication of the editorial. To this
end they charged that the Tribune
was pro-German and that, it's advoc-
acy of intervention in Mexico was
a mask to hide friendship for Ger
many. The theory advanced was
that by intervention American NUM-
tions would be diverted from the enc
. mics of Germany.
The hearing was one of the larg-
est on record, according to counsel.

came tired of raising cotton, for
the work was hard, the hours of
labor were long and wearisome,
and he saw no future ahead of
him; so he decided to learn Teleg-
