THE BIRMINGHAM AGE-HERALD. SUNDAY, JUNE 22, 1924

Trousdale was Watterson's successor and did brilliant work .s
 The next move was to Griffin, Geor- gla, about forty miles south of Atlanta, where new dress of type and a good press were obtained, and the paper soon regained it's popularity, the ban against it being removed At the moment of the greatest prosperity misfortune came, for, Atlanta fell, and ':The Reber' had to go again on it's travels. The thought was to get as far from the Union army as possible, so Selma, Alabama, was the refuge selected; and at Selma "The Rebels" wanderings came to an end; for General Wilson took it into his head to make a cavalry run out of Corinth, which landed him in Selma; and he cap tured "The Rebel" and all it's parapher- nalia. He used it to print a paper of his own persuasion, but in a few days, having decided to leave Selma, he had the press and composing stones de- stroyed, and the type dumped into the street, where a fire was built over 1t, and melted it.
 Franc. Paul, who had been the soul of the enterprise, from August, '62, to April, '65, and who was imprisoned in a stock ade near Selma, but subsequently, pa- roled, says that he reached the city in time to see the flames lick up the last of the combustible portion of "The Rebel" office and to meet a stream of molten type metal running in the gut ters.
 What tThe Rebel" contributed to the worlds literature we are not in posi- tion to say. The three bound files, which must have been the sole record of the nearly three years of publication, were burned along with the other ma terial captured by Wilson's raiders in Selma. Paul speaks of this as "the greatest loss" In giving his story of the wanderings of his paper, Paul says: There is one thing very sure, and that is that both Watterson and Roberts con- tributed many of the best and brightest things that ever came from their pens to the columns of The Rebel We know that the paper was edited at all times with frankness and vigor, and that it was illuminated by John Happy's' fine and instinctive appreciation of humor. The editors were ready to take even deadly danger with kindly philosophy. Hard Up is the title of Chattanooga entry: At this writing, 12 o'clock noon, the enemy are shelling the town wig orously. Our sanctum and our solitary printer, with his lease" and composing stick, are removed to the basement of the Bank of Tennessee
 One must admire the devil-may-care spirit of the workers, pursuing their calling cheerfully amidst the very smoke of battle, and following the fortunes of a dwindling cause down to the last mo- ment of it's existence; for .''The Rebel" ended only with the fall of the Confed- eracy.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-06-22
THE WANDERING "REBEL"

When, in the summer of 1862, it was found advisable to move the archives ot the state of Tennessee from Memphis, where they were in danger of capture by the Union army which had taken Fort Donelson, Franc. M. Paul was in- structed by Governor Harris to take charge of the papers and convey them to Chattanooga. To carry out the order, MT. Paul proceeded from Memphis to Grand Junction, and thence, via Holly Springs, Jackson and Meridian to Mo bile, where he took boat to Montgomery, travelling thence by rail to Atlanta, and finally reaching his journeys end in Chattanooga, going around your elbow to get to your thumb, 'as Paul de- scribed it.
 The thought occurred to Paul that Chattanooga was a good place in which to publish a newspaper devoted to the news of the Confederate army, Paul be- ing a printer as we'll as editor, and hav- ing served his time on Nashville papers. So, with the aid of several friends, he got to work. An old hand-press, case or two of type and one bundle of paper made up his outfit; and he had Temp. Skinner as his typo, and for daylight work a man named Findley, who came in daily from his farm two miles out or town. When the enemy invested Chat tanooga, and began bombardment, the paper, which was styled "The Chatta- nooga Rebel" was transferred to the cellar of a bank, where the force, la- bored, undisturbed by the explosions above and without.
 The paper was tremendous success, circulating everywhere in the Southern army, copies selling at ten cents, ana the editions limited only by the capacity of the press, which, running night ana day, could turn out about ten thousand copies It was found advisable to get more machinery and more writers, and Henry Watterson, who was on General Forests staff, was induced to take up the pen in place of the sword, and be- come the editor of "The Rebel" Later, Albert Roberts, who had worked with Paul on the old Republican Banner of Nashville, was persuaded to take hand, and the three made very brilliant trio, the paper gaining a great reputation all over the South.
 When Chattanooga became too hot for the ConfedeHates, Paul got his out fit started on the road to Atlanta, but was sidetracked at Marietta, where The Rebel" was published about eight months, and where, on account of the serious disagreement between the paper and General Bragg on the conduct of the war, the paper was barred from the army by the generals order, and the ejaculation fell from thousands to few hundreds. The publisher and the editor not being in accord as to the policy pursued, Watterson withdrew, taking a position on the Atlanta Constitution, and Albert Roberts, whose letters, signed "John Happy" had an immense vogue because of their superior humor, soon followed him to the same paper.

A STUDY IN PSYCHOLOGY

Mob psychology is a curious study. An illustration of this fact is furnished by the reactions of the communist conven- tion in St. Paul. In the beginning the delegations were quite frankly com mitted to LaFollette. When the Wiscon- sin senator let it be known in no uncer- tain terms that he would not relish the conventions endorsement, the tide inn mediately turned against him, and those speakers who attempted to defend La Toilette were hissed, whereas previously his name had been acclaimed. AS the New York Evening Post expressed it With the withdrawal of LaFollette the delegates were like bunch of fleas that had lost their dog.
 After the LaFollette withdrawal, the convention, which had heretofore held its radicalism in leash, became quite frankly communistic, and thereby doomed itself to popular avoidance. The real LaFol lette crowd will gather in Cleveland or July 4, and then the public will be giver opportunity to see where is to be drawr that fine line of distinction which sepa rates the goats from the goats.

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 Having just returned from a trip through north Texas I thought you might be inter- ested in first-hand information as to crop conditions out there. I went direct to Dal- las and Fort Worth thence to Wichita Falls and Jolly, in Clay county.
 Crops of wheat and oats are fine this year, and the largest crop for years has Teen har- vested. The corn crop is very good and grazing has been fine so far, but cotton makes a poor showing. They, like us in Alabama and Mississippi had to plant most of it over, and it was slow then about show ing its head. Consequently will be late There are no boil weevils out there to con- tend with, but grasshoppers have begun to give trouble again like they did last year. For several days up to Sunday last I was on a ten-thousand-acre ranch, owned and stocked with cattle and horses by Will Ed rington of New York and George Myers of Jolly, who has been punching cattle there since 1881. He and Tex Rickard and the multi-milionaire, Burke Busnett, were old knights of the saddle and spurs together, MT. Burnett afterwards getting vastly rich on oil from his thousands of acres in the vicinity of Wichita Falls. When he died he left a grand daughter in Fort Worth four teen million dollars, this being only One-third of his worth. The balance went to his son and wife in equal proportions, was told.
 George Myers married a niece of mine who was born and reared at Ohatchee in Cal houn county, Alabama, her maiden name be- ing Ottie Smith. I was on the ranch sev- eral days with them, and it being something new to me, enjoyed the new surroundings very much, except for the hot wind coming over the plains, which were whitening to vegetation. and also got my goat
