"reminiscences.
By w. " Barry, In Nashville Tennessean, April Is

The only real walking encyclope-
dia" l ever knew was the late Maj
Jesse Taylor, brother of the late
Judge John M. Taylor, of Lexington,
who died several years ago when a
member Of the State Court of APP
peals. The Major died in the Tennes-
see Confederate Home, near Nash
vile, many years before his brother
passed away.
Twenty-Five years ago or more Ma
jor Taylor sat every day and read in
the office of my paper, the Lexing-
ton Progress, and finally | got to us
ing him in the place and stead Of a
printed encyclopedia-with the re-
suit that he was able to answer at all
times any question | might ask him,
One day | said to him Major, can

curiosity and told me this story: At
one time when Webster was in the
middle Of one of his financial straits,
he learned that one Honorable Kit
Williams grandfather of the pres
ent United States Senator John
Sharp Williams, of Mississippi then
representing this Tennessee district
in the Congress of the United States,
had gotten hold Of some money and
after him he went to get some of it.
Col. Williams admitted that he had
the money, but stated that he had OBJ
tanned it for a specific and urgent
purpose and deeply regretted that he
could not on that account, accommo-
date Mr.. Webster.
However, Webster persisted and
Williams let Webster have the cash
for the historian tells US that Will
liams was but little If any improve
ment on Webster in matters wherein
his own financial affairs were con-
cerned. Soon after Mr.. Webster got
this money from Williams, before he
had the chance to pay off the matter
that was pushing him or to spend it

in any other way, Webster's washer
woman brought to his hotel his laun-
dry and delivered it to him on the
second floor of the hotel where he
was lodging. The woman came down
the stairs after delivering the Web
ster laundry, walked to the hotel
clerks desk and presented to him
bill to be changed. The clerk told
boy to run up to Mr.. Webster's room
and ask him to come down to the Of
flee. Mr.. Webster came down and the
clerk said to him, "Mr. Webster, did
you pay this woman a bill of mon
ey?" to which Webster replied: Il
did," and the clerk then asked him
the denomination of the bill. Upon
Mr.. Webster answering "ten dollars"
the clerk said: "But Mr.. Webster, she
has hundred-dollar bill" Then came
out the fact that money lost all its
value as soon as 1t got into the hands
of the man who was said to have had
the greatest brain ever weighed in
America, for he said, well, damn it,
if sh has hundred-dollar bill, LET her
keep it"-turned on his heel and went
back upstairs.
The bones of Col. Kit Williams now
rest, as they have for many years, on
the cemetery hill Just east of Lex
ington.
One Monday morning, twenty-five
years or more ago, Major Taylor was,
as usual, sitting in my printing office

for regularly | let him in when
opened the door every morning and
had to turn him out at noon so | could
go to dinner, with the same perform
ance repeated in the afternoon-and
said to him: major, do you know
anything about the death of John
Randolph of Roanoake?" And the
Major said, "Why?" Well, / went to
hear old Brother Lane at the Baptist
Church last night and with the word
'Remorse' for his text he told all
about the death of John Randolph, Of
Roanoake. He said that on his death
bed the great man was so consumed
by regret for his ill-spent life that
after he had lost the power of speech
he wrote the word 'remorse.'" The
Major said: Barry, did that damned
old fool tell that again? 2" and after |
assured him that the preacher had so
spoken, the Major said: Il told Lane
twenty-five years ago that that Ran
dolph Of Roanoake story was damn
lie and to stop telling it." Then the
Major told me this: That when Ran
dolph was on his death bed and had
lost his power of speech, he wanted to
summon to his bedside his man Of
business, whose name was R. E.
Morse. When the pen or pencil was
given to him and he attempted to
write the name, his hand was so I'M
steady that he made a tumble Of the
letters forming the name, there be-

enlarged by old man Lane.

THE CRACK O. DOOM
FOR NASTY CAL0M!l
Folks Abandoning Old Drug for
"Dodsons Liver Tone" Here
in South.

Ugh Calomel makes you sick
It's horrible! Take a dose of the
dangerous drug tonight and tomorrow
you lose day.
'Calomcl is mercury. When it
comes into contact with sour bile, it
crashes into it, breaking it up. Then
is when you feel that awful nausea
and cramping. If you are sluggish, l.
liver is torpid and bowels constipated
or you have headache, dizziness,
coated tongue, if breath is bad or
stomach sour, just try spoonful Of
harmless Dodson's Liver Tone to-
night.
Here's my guarantee-Go 20 any
drug store and get a bottle of Dodson's
Liver Tone for few cents. Take Il
Spoonful and if it doesn't straighton
you right up and make you fec! fine
and vigorous, go back to the store
and get your money. Dodson's Liver
Tone is destroying the sale of cal
omel because it can not salivate or
make you Sick Advt)

Selling Monday on advancing leu
isville live stock market were twenty
six head of prime steers, averaging
t,225 pounds each, shipped Saturday

than ever before. Wonderful pros

Of that section were seen by l.. A.
