Larry (ouitt (ilvcs Some Interesting Kceol led ions. ^Written for The Chronicle by T. C1 I .it rry ( Jiuii t . ? J a nu'S 11. Randall. author of that famous Confederate war sonjJ, "Mary land. My Maryland." was my personal < friend and 1 knew liim long and I n f I - inately. Ho wa.s employed on the j Augusta Ida.) Chronicle when I was j doing *01110 sij?tM'ial work for thai i>a per. He visited me at my home when I was managing the campaign of Col. | Jaiiuis-M. Smith, when he was in the race for Governor of Georgia. Han ' dull came to Colonel Smith's farm home and assisted me in preparing my campaign literature. Among his literary product ions was a poem. "Mars Jim." depleting the j loyalty and devotion "of Colonel Smith's] thoitsund or more negro employees and which was a real gem. ranking] with Kendall's hest productions. But. | [as Smith's political enemies (bitterest j among them Tom Watson), were de- | pining him as a slave-driver. I though?! il not ii good policy to publish it. and I after the contest returned the inanu script to Randall. Randall was a handsome man. with' dear nit features and -tin eagle-like .eye. His person and hearing would at- ; tract attention in any crowd. A more ; polished Southern gentleman 1 never, met. His face, his every movement showed his descent from -the Catholic nobility of lhigland who came over with I.ord Baltimore to settle the prov- , ince of Maryland, hence his love and devotion to his native stale and which his ancestors helped to create For Randall was a rigid l("iiian Catholic lie once told me that he considered Ignatius Loyola, founder of the Jesuits I he greatest man and organizer the world ever knew. Randall had a chai'tning and a ceo in pll>hed wife and beautiful little daugh ter- and he was devoted to his family He had a hopeful. sunny disposition, and the only cloud 1 ever muv cross his brow was when at times he would talk to me about not being able to provide for his family as they should be cared for. and how he had to Sell hi- talent and pen for a paltry $.'50 per week and when lie bad racked his brain to prepare an ed.torial or article . f unusual merit bis employer would claim for himself the authorship and ursurp the praise and honors l<or James It Randall. like unto Robert Burns. Kdgar Allan roc. John Howard rnine and many other world famous writers wa- always bard run and lib teially l.vcd from bale! to mouth. i:\er3 dollar be earned was by a day and iii^bt g : i 1 1 d at some editorial desk f. r the wages paid a me-hanic. While bauds were playing and crowd* ap piaud'.ng his "Maryland My Mary land" tie* author of Thar inspiring Southern song was perhaps walking the streets without a dollar in his pocket and racking hi- brain about some over due and pressing bill. Handail had friends trhn would hare assisted hitn. but r h oy knew his proud and chivalrous nature and that any offer they made bearin# the least raint of charity would deeply wound his sensitive heart lie w ull never accept a favor unless be could return it or repay it in some way As a financier and business uimu Kan dall was a stupendous failure The only thing he knew nhn?7* m->ney was how to spend if When Noble built the new mining town of Anni?ton. Alabama, a dally paper "The Iron, Age" was started there Knowing Randall ? fame, the company thought it a ten-strike when^ they put him in full charge But coal and pig iron and poetry and literature don't mix worth a cent, The paper fulled. and ltandalf^' went to work on the Catholic World, of lt?ilt iiu? <? < , where hi* religious faitii and religions talent ^beautifully blended and were appreciated. To hi* Intimate friends Ituudall wftn a most Ken Jul and delightful coin punlou. When I found hi in in a dv ?pondout iihxhI i suoii learned how t" dUpel the gloom nod the cloud ii^ii hit* faee us mist 'before the ray*. Randall was u great epicure And nothing < h'l I ul 1 1 ?*() 1 1 1 1 1 1 more tlian a well-prepared meal ; but he always selected Ids dishes and would send the <-ook directions about just how to prepare them., lb' said the' frying pan was a relic of the I?ark Ages and wrought more death and disease .than plague, pest Hence and famine. In my long acquaintance with Han dull, I never heard him utter a word or recite a story hut could have been spoken in the presence of a lady. If anyone in his presence started a story the loast "smutty" -the h)ok of disgust on Randall's face quickly silenced the narrator. ? So, when I found Randall in one <>f his blue spells I would grab him J?y the arm, guide hlin into a first-class restaurant aild hand him the bill of fare, as we then called it. It took at least two hours to prepare and digest that meal, for If a dish was not cooked exactly to Randall's orders he. would send it hack, and Would recite the his lory . of every viand before him. *" I soon discovered tliat the shortest road to my friend Randall's heart was ; down his throat and he was at his brightest and host after a good dinner It was on one of these oe.oa shuts that I asked Handail what inspired him to write ".Maryhuid, My .Maryland?" "Flea s. (tantt !" was- the prompt re ply to my fpiery. , "1 can't see any connecting link be WE SELL 'EM CAROLINA MOTOR CO., Inc. tweo.n fleas and poetry." I remarked. I "K.\ plain yourself." .
