"A little more grape. Captain
Bragg," said Geenral Taylor, at the
battle of Buena Vista. And so we say
now to Captain Teddy, "A few more
nigrals to offices up north and a few
mote t?> our southern po^t off ices. Go
the whole hog while you are at it.
McKinley gave you a starter by appointing
a negro over a white community
at Hogansvilie, and another at
Athens the cultured college city of the
south, but he got alarmed and took the
hack track. It was just such a case as
you have now In Mississippi at Indianola.
for the people of llogauavillc
w 'tit \ miles to get their mail rather
than take it from a negro?a dirty politician."
Teddy lias done no worse on
the postoffice line. The postoffiecs are
the people's not the president's. Thoy
sir almost sis near to us and as sacred
as is our preacher or our family physician.
No greater insult, no greater
outrage upon our rights, could be per- i
P fisted by a tyrant than to appoint
a negro as postmaster in a white coin- j
inunity. The difference between Teddy !
and Mr. McKinley is that the latter
pi: ycd fool for a while and quit, but
Teddy keeps it up and grows more detic.nt
of southern opinion and southern
indignation. Sometimes providence afflicts
the people with a fool, and some.
times with a knavo to tyrannize over
them, but it looks like we are to have
both fool and knave in the same person.
Hut "the Lord loveth whom he
fhasti nth."
A medical friend from over the line ,
writes me that he has a growing sense
of justice and abounds in sympathy for I
our long-suffering people, but that Ted- j
dy's deformity does not route from j
original sin or total depravity, but :
front physical defects in his anatomy, I
"I have studied It is cranium and find j
that he has too small a cerebellum. !
Mis occiput goes straight tip front the I
medulla oldengata and meets the sinciput
at right angels and leaves no
room for moral attributes. A perpen- :
riiculm* hack head like Teddy's iiuli- :
eat< a fighting, bear*killing, athletic j
ami mo!hardy man. The aphryon ami |
the mcHsial plane are cramped together
and Teddy's back head is a perpendicular
plane without hill or dale. A ;
man with a very small cerebellum is
peculiar, and it will be found on in- I
spcrtion of the sinciput or forehead ;
that the nose and cheek bones generally
rest on au enormous jawbone, or. 1
as ye. i might say,, the jawbone of an !
ass. !| Teddy had lived in Sampson's
day he would have rejoiced to have |
b? n liis armour-bearer, and carried his
jawbone some."
.lust so?exactly?not only so, but
also, l understand it all now. and j
ibank my medical friend. The lack of j
cerebellum and medulla oblongata and
occiput has made Tcudy crazy about
hoars and negroes and other black
woolly things. But I should like to
I.- itnr ll-Kn* L- i .. ,1 ,,f u ?ai.ol.?11 ,i ... lliot .
follow Cruuapicker or Stumpsucker or ;
Dirt dauber has got. that makes him so
venomous toward our people. At
Teddy's request he has introduced a
resolution to have a committee appointed
to visit lndianola and see what
our people are doing to the colored
postmistress. Of course, he will he appointed
chairman of the committee, but
I'll waj.t r ten dollars he don't go. He
is nothing hut a gas bag and a coward. ;
Mr. Thompson tried to get him to ;
?omo down to Alabama and see how !
ihe negroes on his big plantation were 1
getting on. He was invited and accepted ;
the invitation, hut he did not come. He
was afraid. And that is what discourages
me about any growing sense of |
justice prevailing among the common 1
people up north. If they are getting any
kinder why do they send such a malignant
man to congress? Hating the
south seems to he the stoe.T in trade of
most of the northern members. The
brainy men. like Charles Francis
Adams, have modified very much of
late. Forty years ago he was commanding
a nigger regiment down here
for which I will never forgive him, but
lately he has made a speech at
Charleston and another in New York,
in which he says concerning the right
of a state to secede: "If we accept the
judgment of modern students anil investigators
it would seem as if the
weight of argument falls into the confederate
scale. The issue was settled
by might and not by right." Then why
don't they pension our soldiers and
nay us for the property they destroyed
?and ask our pardon besides. Four
generations! Old John Adams. John
CJuincy Adams, his son Chas. Frances
Adams and now 'his Charles Frances,
his son. nnd hp is 70 years old and has
lucn forty years finding out that we
had the right to secede and they had
no right to free our negroes without
paying for them. Resides all that, this
Adams took charge of a whole regiment
of our runaway negroes to fight
us with. I.ew "VVallaee did the same
thing. Yes he did worse. He was president
of tho court that tried Wirz and
convicted him and hung him on perjured
evidence. The longer I live the
more I am convinced that as a general
rule the smartest men are the
meanest?especially the politicians.
Think of Henry Ward Beeoher preaching
from his pulpit that Sharp's rifles
were better than Bibles to convert tho
slave owners of the south and so his
people bought the rifles and the ammunition
and told old John Brown to
go ahead. But the niggers were loyal
to their masters and wouldn't burn
nor kill nod destroy. And hence Lew,
Wallace nnd Adams nnd many orhers
armed all they could muster up and
-joined tho grand army and marched
them down upon our helpless women
and children. At that time there were
30,000 runaways up north?fugitive

took a glance nt the first page
and got caught. 1 turned the leaf aud

Then the war comes, with its distresses.
nnd Forest with three hundred
men pursues Stract with lifie n
hundred and captures him, and Miss
Emma Sanson figures as a heroine in
guiding Forest across the river, and
then comes the sad story of Sain Davis,
the typical southern hero. Interest
never flags in the beautiful story, and
it will be a landmark for our children
and children's children, for it is faithful
to the truth of confederate history.
