service extended for a number of years
after the death of Representative Isaac
r. Sherwood Of Ohio, the last of the
Army in blue to hold a seat In the
House.
Stedman and Sherwood, both Demo-
Gratis, became warm personal friends
during their service in the House
Many times they joked and snapped
stories of the days when they were on
opposite sides of the firing line, one a
major In the Confederate Army and the
other a brigadier general under Grant.
Tribute Paid Him.
In his closing years in the House.
Maj. Stedman was the recipient of
many honors from his colleagues. Upon
his eighty-flfth birthday the House ac-
corded him the unusual honor of sus-
pending proceedings to pay his tribute.
He was asked to come to the well in
front OF the Speakers chair while each
member on the floor formed in line to
file past and grasp his hand.
At that time, Representative Tilson
OF Connecticut, the Republican leader
and Representative Garrett of Tennes-
see, the Democratic leader, both spoke
in high praise of the veteran Confed-
CAobC VIII, dltIlOuSn WIFI white nalf
and gray beard, carried himself with
military erectneSs of his younger DAYS.
Maj. Stedman was born January 80
184l, at Pittsboro, N. c. He enlisted in
the Confederate Army at the outbreak
OF the war and after the surrender of
Gen. Lee at Appomattox returned to
North Carolina and took up the prac-
tice of law.
He married Miss Katherine de Rossett
Wright in January, 1865.
Maj. Stedman's service in the Con-
federate Army began at the age of 90
The outbreak of hostilities found him a
member of the graduating class of the
University Of North Carolina and so
eager was he to don the uniform that
as soon as he received his diploma he
left the campus without waiting for the
commencement exercises.
He enlisted as a private in the Fay
etteville Light Infantry, North Caro-
hna's first regiment in the war. and
campaigned under both Lee and Jack
son during the four intervening years
before Appomattox.
After the war Mai Stedman re-
sumed the studies, which he had left
so abruptly and two years later began
the practice of law at Greensboro.
Shortly after his marriage to Miss
Wright he moved to Wilmington, her
home, and formed the law firm of
Wright and Stedman.
Defeated for Governor.
In 1880, he was chosen a delegate to
the Democratic National Convention
and four years later was elected lieu
tenant-Governor. Upon expiration of
his term he was defeated for the Gov
ernorship in heated contest by a small
vote
Upon the death of ''Uncle Joe" Cam
non in 1924, he became the oldest MEM
Der OF the House in point of age and
upon his reelection in 1926, to the
Seventeen Congress, he became one of
the Oldest in point of service.
He was broad-minded, tolerant and
therefore intensely American" said
Representative e. w. Pou, one of his
home State colleagues. He became a
national figure, respected by all, loved

a CHRISTMAS MESSAGE FROM
BUSY PEOPLE
Bv R. w. JOHNSON

If at any time throughout the year
our heart could be searched 1t wouio
disclose abundant charity, frlendh-
ness. good fellowship and good will.
But we are very busy people, IN
tensely pre-occupied with our own
affairs.
The conditions of life hurry us
on.
Our backs must be bent to, the
burden, our nose held close to the
grindstone.
The treasures of the heart reman
behind closed doors, which there is
neither time nor opportunity to I'M
lock.
h. What blessed thing it is that
once in a year good old St. Nicholas
taps us on the shoulders, and bids us
rise, wipe the sweat from our brow
and hail our friends with the cor
dial greetings and good wishes of the
Christmas Season.
How gladly we respond, how warm
and sincere are our expressions Of,
affections and good will. -
All this and much more is EN-
bodied in that time-honored phrase,
We wish you a "Merry Christmas
and Happy New Year."
All this and much more we send
you as our Christmas message and
may the years to come bring you
many greetings from host of
friends.
