"Maryland, My Maryland."
_____
Mr. James R. Randall, the author
of "Maryland, My Maryland," bas
boen in Columbia recently and was
interviewed by a reporter for The
State, to whom bo gave an interest
ing account of the origin of the fa
mous song. Mr. Randall is one of
the most genial and entertaining
gentleman of our acquaintance, and
he is modesty itself when hin literary
work is the theme of conversation.
In a personal intimaoy of more than
thirty years we have never known
him to make any allusion to "Mary
land, My Maryland," although we
wero familiar with the general faots
connected with its produotion, and
we are sure that our readers will be
glad to learn the account of its
origin, whioh is akin to "Dixie" in
its power to arouse an audience when
Confederate memories are being re
called. Mr. Randall is reported as
follows :
"In tho year 1861 I was, though a
very young man, a professor at Poy
dras College, Parish of Pointe
Coupee, La. This college had been
built and endowed by a rich Creole
planter. It was situated on a lake
about seven miles from the Missis
sippi river, in a region largely de
voted to sugar cane produotion, tho
inhabitants being chiefly of Frenoh
descent and habitually speaking that
language. To get our mail at that
limo wo had to go to the post office
at a village on the river bank. One
day in April I rode over there and
received a copy of tho New Orleans
Delta which contained a graphic ac
count of tho passage of the Massa
chusetts regiment through Baltimore,
my native city, and the sanguinary
encounter with a crowd of infuriated
men who proposed to resist all in
vasion of Virginia soil. This narra
tive inflamed my soul and, ns I at
that time had thc gift of poetry, the
thoughts surging in my brain took
the shape of verse. That night I
could not sleep and I seemed to bo
tormented into song. I TOBO from
my bed, lit a candle and began to
write at my desk. The metre of one
of James Clarence Mangan's poems
instinctively presented itself as a
proper vehicle of what I wishod to
express and I with some rapidity
wrought out, ?Maryland, My Mary
land.' Tho next morning I re
touched the pof^i, polished it here
and there, and tin a read it to ray
pupils, who received it with enthusi
asm. I copied and sent it to The
Delta for publication. My expecta
tion wa?, that it would contribute
somewhat to the lyrical history of
thc day, but I hardly anticipated
what really happened. Since that
time I havo written poems that are
moro artistic than 'Maryland, My
Maryland,' but this one poem seems
to cling to rae in a way to eclipse all
other productions of raine, and for
many years I have abandoned all at
tempts at poetic cultivation, partly
because of necessity and partly be
cause I became interested in practi
cal proso writing. Sometimes when
I look back on my romantio youth,
it is hard to believe that I am the
same individual, so radical has been
thc transformation. But, you only
asked for the genesis of *My Mary
land,' and I must not bo tempted -io
intrude upon your time or space by
psychologio or other reminiscential
musing."
Ten Years In Bed.
It. A. Gray, J. P., Oakvillo, Ind..
writes: "For ten years I was confined
to my bed with disease of my kidneys.
It was so sovore that I could not move]

I ic:, i medical skill available, but could
get no roliof until Foley's Kidney Cure j
was recommended to me. It has been a |

Terrible Automobile Race.
A great automobile raoe which
was to have been from Paris, France,
to Madrid, Spain, was commenced
last Sunday, but had to be discon
tinued because of the numerous acci
dents. Of course, tho racers did not
want to discontinue. Both the
French and Spanish governments
found it necessary to issuo prohibi
tive-orders. There was a large num
ber of starters, including a half
dozen or more American millionaires.
The first stretch of the race was
from Versailles to Bordeaux, a dis
tance of 843 miles. Fully one hun
dred thousand peoplo assembled at
Versailles to see tho start. Tho con
testants were allowed to start ono at
a time. After eight hours and
twenty-seven minutes it was reported
that Luis Renault had arrived at
Bordeaux. Then oame the news of
the arrival of others. Later on there
were reports of various disastors.
The maohine of one M. Horton war
overturned at a railroad crossing, and
Horton was killed. The chaffeur
fell under the maohine and was
burned to death as tho result of the
explosion that followed. A Mr.
Stead was^caught, under his machine,
which overturned in a ditch, and his
ohaffcur. was thrown thirty or forty
feet and badly bruised. At one
place two soldiers and a child were
killed and at another place a woman
who attempted to cross tho road was
mangled beyond recognition. It is
stated that Luis Renault made por
tions of his trip at the rate of 882
miles au hour.

Boasting ol Fine Cows.
Jackson, Miss., May 29.-Remark
able cows are being made tho sub
jects of boasts by farmers in tho
agricultural columns of the country
press this week. L. B. Sojourner,
of tho QaUraan neighborhood, Co
piait county, possesses a cow whioh
he claims averages 87 pounds of
strained milk each day and 17
pounds of butter for a seven day
period. Dr. Shepord of Holmes
county, boasts of a cow on his plant
ation which has produced bjx calves
within three years, all females.
Brownfield to Hang.
John Brownfield, tho negro barber
of Georgetown, who killed tho
deputy sheriff of that county some
three ^years ago, will be arraigned
and resentenced at the next terra of
the Court of General Sossions. Tho
Supreme Court of the United States
has affirmed the decision of both thc
Circuit Conrt and the State Supror.ie
Court, Brownfield having been sen
tenced to death af the terra cf tho
former oourt whon ho was firs' tried.
His attorneys at that time r ^pealed
to the State Supreme Court which
affirmed the decision of the lower
court. Th? oaso was then oarried to
the highest tribunal which now re
fuses to alter tho sentence or to
grant a new trial. Brownfield's oaso
is one whioh has attracted national
attention, and tho fact that there
wore no negroes on tho jury which
sat on his case was an argument freely
used by the lovers of the black race,
and was the ground oh which appeal
was taken.

V- .nformation it Wanted Regardinq them
' and How it is to Be Obtained.
Col. M. P. Tribble has began work
on the Confederate rolls, which the
United States government has asked
for with a view to their publication.
Col. Tribble invites and earnestly
solicits co-operation in the work he
has been designated to undertake
and hopes very much that those hav
ing rolls or information such as is
sought will communicate with him.
There has been a great deal writ
ten about the matter and a good deal
of misunderstanding, and with a view
of getting before the people the in
formation that is sought he has given
out one of the letters he has reoeived
from Washington, in which the
oxaot information which tho govern
ment seeks and how it is to DO ob
tained ?8 given. It reads as follows :
Record and Pension Office,
War Department,
Washington City, March 28, 1903.
Col. M. P. Tribble, Anderson, S.
C.-Dear Sir : The department
having been advised by Governor
Hey ward on the 25th instant that he
will be glad to co-operate with it in
compilation of the recently author
ized roster of the offioers and men of
tho Union and Confederate armies,
and that he has designated you to
confer with me relative to the details
of the work, I bey leave to submit
the following suggestions for your
consideration :
A considerable oolleotion of the
rolls of Sonth Carolina Confederate
organizations is now in the posses
sion of this department. While
that oolleotion does not by any moans
show all the names of the officers
and men who were in the Confeder
ate servioe from South Carolina, and
while it does not show the oomplete
military histories of those whoso
names it does show, it is hoped that
the list of names and the histories of
individual offioers and men can bo
made much more nearly complete by
record evidence obtainable from
other original rolls that may now be
in the possession of the State of
South Carolina or of historical so
cieties, memorial associations and in
dividuals of South Carolina and
other States. ?
The legislation authorizing the
compilation of the roster is construed
by the department to reslriot it, in
making compilation, to the uso of
original reoords made during the war
period, and to preclude the use of
printed or manuscript copies or com
pilations made subsequently. For
this reason and in order that there
shall be no ground for doubt as to
the accuraoy of the proposed roster,
the department will bo unable to use
in the compilation any of the rosters
that have heretofore been published,
but must in all oases seek tho origi
nal records upon whioh those rosters
were based.
You will readily see that, in order
that the compilation now in progress
shall be as nearly oomplete as it is
possible to make it, it w essential
that the war department shall obtain
the temporary loan, for the purpose
of copying, of any original offioial
rolls, lists or other doouments that
show tho names of Confederate offi
cers and mon, and that aro now in
the custody of State offioials, histori
cal or memorial associations, public,
or private libraries, or that are in tho
possession of private citizens.
It is impracticable for the War
Department to communicate with
the various holders of these scattered
records, and consequently tho de
partment must rely upon each State
to collect, by loan or otherwise, such
records of its own or other Confede
rate organizations as may be obtain
able within the State, and to for
ward the oolleotion, when completed,
to this department, by whioh the
records will be copied and returned
to the State with the least possible
delay. Of course, express oharges
incident to shipping rcoords to and
from the State will be defrayed by
the department.
Permit me to sagtest, if the plan
herein outlined meets with your ap=
proval, that you take such steps,
through tho publio press and other
wise, as you may deem to be advisa
ble and proper to give the plan wide
publicity and to enable you to gather
all original Confederate records that
oan be collected in your State by
loan or otherwise.
If it occurs to you that a different
plan from that indioated herein
adopted, or if daring the progress of
the work voa oan mako any sugges
tions tending to facilitate or improve
it, yon will confer a favor upon the
department and myself by advising
me freely and fully with regard to
your views. Very respectfully,
F. Li. Ainsworth,
Brigadier Qenoral, United States
Army, Chief Record and Pension
OfHoe.
Col. Tribble has already reoeived
quite a number of offers of tho use
of original roils and1 would like vory

writers, lawyers, doctors, aspiring
politicians, oto., but nobody to plow
and harrow. Nobody is willing to
do the manual .labor, and yet we
know that after all an immense
amount of manual work most be
done.
Now, if we add to this army an
other army of skilled artisans in
bric-a-brac making, if we now intro
duce everywhere an elaborate system
of oinking paper flowers, tatting,
crocheting and ornaments in wood
and iron, who is going to make the
gardens and till the fields and wield
the hammer and plane ?
In this, our progressive age, the
country seems to be going theory
mad. We are going to eduoate, ed
?calo and train. Yet we know that
all the world's leaders and thinkers
have oome upon the plane of actio
by their own inherent force.
Edison is not the produot of an in
stitute of technology, nor was Frank
lin. Nor were Shakespeare, Dickens
and Poe the produot of an elaborate
educational system. The State can
not do everything for the individual
nor will college endowment funds.
The fellow who has the real material
in him will come to the top and the
fellow who does not have it will not
stay there if you eduoato him there
by an elaborate system. You will
only succeed in making him a nuis
ance. You will run the risk of put
ting him in the penitentiary for for
gery or burglary. You may make
him an anarchist ov a socialist. You
oannot make him a philosopher and
you may not make him even an in
dustrious man and a good citizen.

Dr.Mlles'Heixrt Cure and
Nervine Cured Me.
There is nothing more necessary to health
than sleep and rest. If these are denied you,
if you riss in the morning more tired than
when yott went to bed, there is an affection of
the nerves plainly present. If your heart is
weak, or there I? an inherited tendoncy in
that direction, your weakened nerves will
soon so affect your heart's action as to bring
on serious, chronic trouble. Dr. Miles' Ner
vine is a nerve tonic, which quiets the nerves,
so that sleep may come, and it quickly re
stores the weakened nerves to health and
strength. Dr. Miles' Heart Cure is a great
blood and heart tonic which regulates the ac
tion of the heart, enriches the blood and im
proves the circulation.
"Some time ago I waa suffering severely
with heart trouble. At times my heart would
seemingly stop beating and at ethers lt would
beat loudly and very fast Three to four
hours sleep each night in ten months was all
I could get. One week in last September I
ne ver closed my eyes. I got Dr. M iles' Nervine
and Heart Cure at a drugstore in Lawrence
burg, after spending #300.00 in medi
cines and doctors in Louisville, Shelbyville,
Frankfort, Cincinnati and Lawrenceburg,
and in three days have derived more benefit
from the use of your remedies than I got
from all the doctors and their medicines. I
think everybody ought to know of the mar
velous power contained in your remedies."

Gordon McDonald, Esq., one of
the foremost lawyers of Montgo
mery, Ala., says of Booker Wash
ington's Tuskegee institute :
"Living in Montgomery, a Ovunty
adjoining Macon, wherein TUs'xo^ qe
is situated, I speak whereof 1 know
in Baying that for one genuine, hard
working husbandman or artisan sent
into tue world by* Washington's
sohool it afflicts this State with 20
soft handed negro dudes and loafers,
who earn a precarious living by
"orttp" and petit larceny or live on -
the hard earned 'Yagos of cooks and
washerwomen, whose affections they
have been able to ensnare. The
girls graduated at this school are
taught to scorn hard work, while
their poor mothers toil over the
wash tubs and the cook stoves that
their daughters may be taught music,
aud painting-God save the mark !
and to rustle in fine dresses in a
miserable imitation of, white ladies."
The New Orleans States adds its
testimony :
McDonald is well within the
?Btth when ho says that the gradu
ates who are supposed to be taught
some useful trade beoome fanoy ne
Sro gamblers, wear high collars,
ashy cloth OH and prey upon the ig
norant people of their race. The
hands of these young negroes who
have reoeived an "industrial educa
tion" never come in contaot with the
handle of a saw or jaok plane, but,
on the contrary, the implements with
which they make a living are tho
dioe box and a deok of cards."
