Confederate Comrade
 Urges Capt. Frank s. White For Senate
The A Herald,

The Age-Herald,
 Birmingham Alabama.
 I have learned through the public
 press that Hon. Frank s. White is a
 candidate to succeed the late lamented but distinguished Senator John H
 Bankhead, in the United States Senate,
 and I desire to say what I know of
 MT. White.
 First, I knew him as a Confederate
 soldier. When a mere stripling of a
 boy he enlisted in the army and served
 gallantly until the close of the war.
 He was in the last battle that was
 fought by Gen. Nathan B. Forrest,
 and General Forrest had no braver or
 truer or more gallant man under him
 than was the boy Frank s. White. K When the war was over. Mir White
 returned to the home of his father in
 Mississippi aud took up the laborious
 duties of farmers boy at the same
 time applying himself assiduously to
 his books. He was admitted to the
 bar and entered upon the active and
 successful practice of law, making friends wherever he went In short
 time afterwards he was elected to the Mississippi legislature and took an ac-
 tive part as one of the managers in the < Impeachment proceedings in 1876 which resulted in the impeachment and dis
 missal from office of Governor Ames
 and his entire band of robbers Mis-
 sippi never had in her legislature a
 truer and more efficient member MT White was always found on the right
 side of every question bold and fear
 less In the support of every measure calculated to promote the best interest of the people. He always took an
 active part in political matters, giving
 of his time and his means, liberally and was one of the most important factors in restoring the state to her own people, and then in carrying the state on upward to position of great prosperity. When in the height of pros perity- and in the enjoyment of a most lucrative practice. he. to the great re- gret of his neighbors and friends moved to Birmingham, Ala. In due time, the people of Alabama, appreci- ating his ability and his great moral and intellectual worth, sent him to the United States Senate. Having been in timate with him in Mississippi, when he came to the Senate I took an active interest in his record. As a daily |. reader of the Congressional Record, J kept myself fully advised as to his record in the Senate. reading all the + speeches that he made and noting all his votes upon important questions
 If he ever made mistake. or was not always found on the right side of every important question that came before T never knew of it. His record in the Senate was certainly most gratifying to his many friends. and If he Is re- turned to the Senate. I am sure he | will render the same efficient. faith full services that he did before.
 1 do not know those who are con- testing with him place in the United States Senate. but I do feel a very great desire in having him returned not only because he is worthy and we'll qualified. but because it will put another Confederate soldier back in the Senate. where now we have none Senators Martin and Bankhead. both of whom have recently passed away were the only Confederate soldiers that we had in the Senate. Since the death of those two great. grand men Senators Morgan and Pettus, Senators Martin and Bankhead were the only Confederate soldiers in the Senate, ana we do not want the United States Sen ate to be without the influence of 2 Confederate soldier as long as there is one worthy for the place left living and do not know a better representa- tive of the Confederacy now remaining
 than Hon. Frank s. White, and I sin. Oeerely hope that the people of Alabams } EFiu send Mir. White to the Senate.
