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.
