SAM DAVIS—
CONFEDERATE HERO
Sam Davis—it w .uld be interesting
to know to how many persons that
name means anything. Possibly a
few know he was a young Confeder
ate hero from Tennessee, but do you
know that the same Sam Davis is
the great uncle oi two Newberrians,
and the uncle of a former Newber-
rian ?
On October C, 18-12, somewhere near
Murfreesboro, Tennessee, was born
Sam Davis, destined to become one
of the South’s heroes.
After attending Western Military
Institute in Nashville, he joined the
Confederates early in the Civil War,
and in 1862 was s .signed to Shaw’s
Scouts, Cheatham’s Division. Just as
the South considered the Northern
scouts spies, so did the North feel
toward the Confererate scouts.
When Davis was only twenty-one
years of age, an indeed dangerous
task and a great risk he took, when
in November of 1862, he was sent in
disguise to penetrate Federal lines
and secure information concerning
the positions, and fortifications of the
Federal troops, which only Gen. G.
M. Dodge had. In securing this des
ired information, he was successful,
for he had become quite friendly
with a young offic r closely connect
ed with Gen. Dod^ ’s headquarters.
Suspecting that he was being
watched, and probably would be fol
lowed if he left the Federal lines, he
nevertheless escaped and slipped to
his home near Smyrna, Tennessee, to
see his father -and mother. While
there, the pursuing soldiers came to
the house, and he managed tc escape,
but was finally caught. In his saddle
and boots were found the papers,
which "were stolen from Gen. Dodge’s
office.
After trying vainly in every way
he knew how to make Davis talk, Gen.
Dodge finally told him he would be
court-martialed and hanged if he
didn’t tell who gave him the papers.
To this, Davis replied: “You are do
ing your duty, Gen. Dodge, and I am
doing mine and I will die before I
tell.”
Consequently, he was court-mar
tialed and sentenced to be hanged,
and while he was on the gallows, with
the rope around his neck, Gen. Dodge
sent one of his personal staff with
Davis’ horse, side arms, and a pass
back to Bragg’s army if he would only
tell. The answer he gave is that of
a truly great soldier and a brave
hero, and one that will be remember
ed for many years to come: “If I had
a thousand lives to live I would lose
them all before I would betray my
friends or the confidence of my in
former.” To the men who were ad
justing the noose, he said “I am ready
Do your duty men.” Thus Sam Davis,
was hanged November 27, 1863, at
the age of 21, at Pulaski, Tennessee.
There now stands at Pulaski a large
monument erected to his memory.
Forty years after his execution, Gen.
Dodge was one of those who contri
buted most liberally for the erection
of his statue which is now oh the
Tennessee State Capitol grounds.
Named in honor of Sam Davis is
the Sam Davis Highway in Tennessee,
and the Sam Davis Hotel in Nash
ville. About twenty-five miles from
Nashville, is his former home, which
was bought and • is kept up by the
state of Tennessee.
Davis was the great uncle of Col
lier Neel of Newberry, Waller Neel
also formerly of Newherry, now of
Nashville, Mrs. Carrie Neel formerly
of Newberry, was a niece of Davis.

J. Kess Derrick early moved out in
front in Tuesday’s balloting to pile
up a vote such as no candidate ever
received in a legislative race in New
berry county. It is doubtful if a vote
of such proportions has ever been
accorded a candidate in any race in
this county. Mr. Derrick received
7,388 out of the 8,721 votes cast in the
four cornered race.
Julian A. Price, Prosperity man
took second place for the House, re
ceiving 6,423, and R. Aubrey Harley,

Tiie vote in this race was Fellers,
6,284, Gilliam, 2,508.

The closest race in the county dev
eloped in the race for County Treas

4,415, Ringer, 4,348.

Losing a valuable and most depend
able worker is the Newberry county
hospital. After almost nine years
there, Marie Moore packs up, bag and
baggage, and moves to Conway to do
office work in the hospital there. Ai
the local hospital she not only hand
led the business end, but also had
charge of the kitchen. We are glad
of Marie’s promotion and hope she
likes her work there immensley but
we’re going to miss her here some
thing awwful — especially we news
paper people. Marie was the only
one connected with the hospital for"
that even seemed to realize that news
reporters had to get news to keep
their jobs and she always ‘did what
she could to give us items from the
hospital even tho’ her hands were
tied most of the time. If there’s any
thing a reader wants in the local pa
per it is to know when a friend might
be sick and in the hospital. Such
news might even be very helpful at
times and we could never figure cut
why some of the local hospital auth
orities wanted to withhold this in
formation. Marie never stepped
over orders and when she was told
to be quiet by superiors, she was. But
all the while she was in sympathy
with us news hounds. Here’s hoping
her hands won’t be tied in her new
work because her many talents should
lead to one promotion after another.
The medical and nursing staff of the
hospital is giving her a farewell
party Friday night. We wouldn’t be
surprised if they weren’t a few tears
even on such a gala occasion. Mrs.
Fred Hartley, the former Miss Mag
gie Thomasson, has been named Miss
Moore’s successor.
It’s No Use
We continue to hear of weddings
and rumors of weddings and continue
to wonder if the conscription bill now
up does not have something to do with
it all. If the young man who takes
on a wife thinks he will be saved
from being conscripted, he’s sadly
mistaken and is making double
trouble for himself. At least that’s
the way it appears to us from the
contents of the following article from
Washington:
“If any young man plans mat
rimony to dodge conscription un
der the Burke-Wadsworth bill,
he’ll find that it won’t work. This
is revealed by examination of the
pending law, which fails to pro
vide exemption from military
training for married men. They
will be required to register for
srvice just as any other male cit
izen from 21 through 30 years of
age, if it becomes law.
“War department officials have
said that selection of trainees
would be left largely to local
boards, with appeals from their
rulings being provided. Thus,
each case would be decided on in
margin of about 1,000 votes. The vote
in this race was Hendrix, 4,811, Leitz-
sey, 3,849.
Supervisor
Paul H. Haile with a lead of about
200 votes is in the second race with
Eugene Spearman for Supervisor.
The vote for the different candidates
in this race was Abrams, 1,828; Haile,
2,241; L. M. (Mag) Shealy, 1,308; S.
W. (Pinder) Shealy, 1,337; Spearman,
2,034.
Commissioner Dist 1.
S. W. (Brother) Brown took the
lead in the race for Commissioner
from the first district, the vote being
Brown 1,660; Epps 1,160; Fair 628;
Harmon 574; Henderson 301; Mills
517; Wallace 809. Epps and Brown
are in the second race.
Commissioner Dist. 2.
A second race will be necessary in
District 2 in the commissioners race.
C. B. (Cy) Schumpert took the lead
with 937 votes and Charliie C. Lomi
nick was second with 698 votes. Joe
Wilson was in third place with 577,
Haskell Dominick was in fourth place
420 and Murray O. Fulmer was in 5th
place with 91 votes.
Game Warden
Herman Wise was elected by a
large majority to the office of game
warden, having received 6,447. His
opponent Effice Metts received 2,218.
Magistrate Dist. 1.
Watts was reelected Magistrate at
Whitmire by a vote of 850 to 544 for
his opponent Holt.
Magistrate- Dist. 2.
Ben F. Dawkins was returned to
this office by a vote of 3070 to 1468 for
his opponent Lonnie Graham.

dry votes and 3039 wet votes.
dividual merit. If the local board
found that a young man subject
to the draft had married a young
woman who was capable of sup
porting herself and had a job, or
had relatives who could support
her, the marriage might be no bar
at. all to military service.
“Once registrations have been
completed, the bill says selection
of trainees ‘shall be made In an
impartial manner, under such
rules and regulations as the presi
dent may prescribe.’
“The president, however, is
authorized in another section to
defer the traaining of those men in
a status with respect to persons
dependant upon them for suport
which renders their deferment
advisable.’ The measure gives no
definition of “dependants’.”
Tale Is Told
The tale has been told in another
election. Wednsday found some very
happy contestants and yet more sad
ones. There’s also the happy and
sad division among the voters. Politics
is a stange thing—one either ha^
an intense like for it or one does not
care for it all. But those of us on
the liking side were all ears Tuesday
night and Wednesday morning. We
wouldn’t have missed a single thing
from the beginning to the end. There’s
nothing like it to the interested ones.
It was hard to take in Wednesday
afternoon when a friend queried rath
er nonchalantly, “I haven’t heard
how the race came out last night, who
won?” Yes, politics is a great thing
—if you can take it.
