written for the Chattanooga Times
by John B. Brownlow, of Knoxville. }
Mr.. Samuel H. Thompson, of Bris-
toll, Tenn, has recently had publish
ed an interesting little book entitled,
Southern Hero Tales" in which
there's a sketch of that very inter-
esting character, Davy Crockett, he
70 of the Alamo, and whose name is
perpetuated by several states in the
counties named in his honor.
Without any schooling, scarcely
able to write and never able to spell
correctly, he was yet well read in the
current history of his day, in the
Scriptures, and was possessed Of
more good common sense than many
college professors, or educated poll
ticians. He commanded, with dis
tinction, battalion of mounted rife
men under General Jackson, in the
Creek campaign of 1894, was a
member Of the Tennessee legislature
and was three times a member of con-
gress from Tennessee. After his de-
feat for congress he went to Texas
and died gloriously at the Alamo,
fighting for Texas independence.
In his last successful race for con-
gress he said: "Fellow citizens, Pm
going % be elected. My enemies say

district and most everybody's for
me, men, women and children"
Just then flock of guineas passed
near the audience in grove, scream
ing "poterack, poteract, poterack. !"
even the guineas are for me, F"
said Davy, don't you hear them
shouting Crockett, Crockett, Crock
ett,' In the same speech Davy said !:
my opponents are so scared that
they have just now, few days be-
fore the election, started a lie about
me. They are telling, fellow citi-
zens, that | have been guilty of
tdultery." Davy's idea as to the dis
tinction between adultery and seduc-
ton was not clear. ''Now, fellow
citizens" he continued, 81 never in
my life tried to take any mans wife
from him." Here there was hearty
applause. Then Davy said: "Now,
fellow citizens, l don't want you to
think that | am better than / am. l
am Davy Crockett, and l amt Davy
Joseph. If some real good looking
Mistress Potiphar comes foolin'
around Davy Crockett, he's too much
of a gentleman to insult her."

The following is Davy's account
of his interview with President Jack
son in the White House wien he went
to congress: "The general squeezed
my hand and said: Col. Crockett, |
am mighty glad to see you. Then in
a moment he said: Colonel, will
you have a drink of good old whis-
key? and said, THANK you, gener-
al, will When the general put the
bottle and tumbler before me he
was such perfect gentleman that he
turned his back and looked south and
said something about what beauti-
full river the Potomac was. He didn't
look at me while | was pouring out
the drink because he did not want
to embarrass me as to how much I
poured out. Then me and the gen
eral talked long time about the bat
ties we was in fightin' the Indians.
The general loved to talk about them
old times.
GAS l was about to leave the gen
eral said to me: Col. Crockett, will
you have drink and / said Gener-
al, thank you, l will Now, the gen
eral was such a perfect gentleman
that he would not say, will you have
another drink He just said, will
you have a drink, as thought | had
not had one. That's why l say Gen.

When he held his last term of the
United States court in Knoxville,
there was on the grand jury an old
farmer from Greene county, who as
boy had been neighbor and play
mate of Key, but who had not had ed
ucational advantages. 1t was the
habit of Judge Key, as it was the
late Senator Vance, of North Caro-
lima, and of Robert L. Taylor, to
address such an old friend by his
Christian name. When Key met this
old boyhood friend he said "How
are you, Sam; glad to see you" and
the juror replied: Mighty glad to
see you, Dave; how's your health?"
Sorry to tell you, Sam, my health
is not good"
"Why, Dave, I never saw health

said the judge.
"Why, Dave, what's the matter

The judge replied: 81 am troubled

the juror, The judge repeated the
word. The juror asked what it
meant. The judge replied: "He
couldn't sleep"
"Why, Dave, that's easy cured"
said the juror.
Il wish you would tell me how"
said the judge.
''Now, Dave, a half hour before
you go to bed, you drink tumbler
of good liquor, and l think that will
make you sleep we'll"

that doesn't make me sleep"
"Well, Dave, you drink another
tumbler and | feel certain that will
