TayIor,s Letter About the Presidency

in the Ohio valley and of an impending war with Great Britain took the young captain to what is now the state of Indiana. There he had his first baptism of fire. Placed in command of Fort Har- rson, built on the Wabash river to protect the romantic old Vn of Vincennes which had fig ured so argel. in the exploits of that other Vir- ginian, George Rogers Clark, Taylor with gar rison of only 50 men successfully beat off an at- tack by several hundred of Tecumsehs warriors and won for himself the brevet of major.
 At the close of the War of 1872 congress re- duced the army and Taylor was cut to the grade of captain. Disguised at this he resigned from the army and went back to Kentucky ito raise a crop of corn" But friends ,nterceded for him and he was reinstated as a major and in 1916 advanced to lieutenantcolonel.
 His first command as lieutena nt- colonel was Fort Smelling in Minnesota, then the most ad- vanced outpost in the old Northwest, and in July, 1929, he took command at Prairie du Chien In Wisconsin. While there the new Fort Craw- ford was completed under his direction and the old fort abandoned because the Mississippi was inundatng It. He was there in 1882 at the out break of the Sac and Foxe Indians, known as the Black Hawk. war, and took part In the cam- paign which ended in the defeat and capture of that i-fated chieftain.
 It was during Taylors service at Fort Craw- ford that there occurred an incident which has been the subject of much romantic writing, not all of 1t strictly accurate. One of Taylor's sub alterns was a young Mssissippian fresh from West Point, Lieut.. Jefferson Davis, who fell in love with Sara Knox Taylor, the daughter of his commander. But when the subject of mar riage was preached, Taylor refused to give his consent.
 The only thing wrong with that story Is that it isn't true Old letters in the possession of de scendants of Taylor, now living in Kansas City Mo-, prove that, contrary to the legend, there was no elopement. Sara Knox Taylor was sent to the home of the colonels sister Mrs John Gibson Taylor, in Louisville, Ky, and a year later, when Taylor learned that the young cou- pie still wanted to get married, he wrote to his sister that he would no longer withhold his con. sent. They were married in Louisville in June 1885, and went immediately to Mississippi where Davis had a cotton plantation. In September both were stricken with malaria and Davis young bride died.
 But to return to the career of Taylor himself after the Black Hawk war. Taylor's next serv- Ice was against the Seminoles in Florida and in 1S38 he won victory over them at the Battle of Okechobee which won for him the brevet of brig.
The Nome daily nugget., 1935-04-01


 of the number of Presidents which the Old Dominion gave to the nation, even though the average American does not remember so readily that William Henry Harrison John Tyler. Zachary Taylor and Woodrow Wilson were also born in Virginia.
 Perhaps one reason for this Is because the outstanding events in the careers of at least three of them took place in other parts of the country and that they lie buried elsewhere than in the soil of their native state. In the case of Zachary Taylor, for instance, Kentucky has quite as much claim upon him as has Virginia and we commonly think of him as a Kentuckian rather than as a Virginlan. There Is Justification for that in the fact that he was taken to Kentucky (then a part of Virginia) as baby, grew up with that state, from 1t started the military career which was to lead him to the White House and found his last resting place there. But recently Virginia has begun to assert her claims to Taylor of her sons. A year or so ago bust of him unveiled in the old House of Delegates in the state capitol at Rich mond and this year finds Virginia observing the sesqui- centennial of his birth with the celebra- ton coming to climax on the anniversary of his birthday.
 Born in Orange county, Va, November 27, 17S4, he was the son of Richard Taylor who fought In the Continental army during the Revolution and came out of the war as lieutenant colonel, a fact which undoubtedly influenced the careers of two of his three sons and more particularly that of the second, known In his youth as Zachariah. Taken to Kentucky at the age of six months young Zachariah grew up on a frontier farm and was largely self-educated At the age of twenty four his elder brother. then lieutenant in the regular army died and President Jeffer- son appointed the younger brother a lieutenant in the Seventh infantry in his place.
 The next year he was sent to New Orleans, then under the command of Gen. James Wilkin- son, who had been deeply involved In the Aaron Burr conspiracy but who had succeeded in es caping with a coat of whitewash In 1910 Taylor was promoted to captain and celebrated this ad vancement by marrying Margaret Smith of Maryland.

CLEAR RECORD

LEWISBURG, Pa, July 81. UP)-
Ludwig Derr, founder of Lewisburg
in 1785, stood vindicated today of a
charge of "squatter."
His great, great, great grand
daughter, Mrs. Harriet Schoch
Earnest, of Miffinburg, revealed
records at the towns anniversary
that his purchase of land from In
dians in 1857 was legal. The pur-
chase was two years before William
Maclay made a survey for the
Penns after their purchase of the
same land.
Mrs. Earnest said Derr bought
land twice, having purchased it
from Richard Peters, who obtained
it as gift from the Penns in
1773.
Derr was honored as a patriot by
the Shikelmo Chapter, D. A. R.
He fought with the Northumber-
land county militia during the
Revolutionary war. A large bronze
and granite marker in his honor
was unveiled at the Sesqui Centen-

Buses Safer In
St. Louis Than
Street RailUdy

ST. LOUIS, July 81. UR-Travel
by NOTORIOUS in st. Louis is safer
than travel by street car, a recent
report of a ST. Louis public service
company reveals.
The accident percentage is shown
by the difference in accident re-
serve funds which it is necessary to
maintain. A reserve for personal
injury of 26 cents per car mile
must be set up for the street cars,
while only IA cents per car mile is
laid aside for the same fund from
bus revenues.
Bus travel in st. Louis and sub
urbs has increased % per cent in
the last two years, the same report
reveals. In April of 1888 the maxi
mum daily average of buses oper-
ated was 260. In April of this year
it was 31l.
It is not expected that bus travel
will supplant street car travel, COM
p9ny officials say.
