REMEMBERS MEXICAN WAR.
Prince Taylor Tells of Dr. Samuel
Fumum, Founder of Furman Uni?
versity.
Prince Taylor, a patrlarchial negro
of eighty-eight summers and now
nearing his eighty-ninth, was in the
city Saturday and was much interest?
ed in hearing the discussion in Har
by & Co.'s office as to the order of
the United States government to send
troops into Mexico to capture Francis?
co Villa. After listening to the dis?
cussion for some time, he ventured
an inquiry of Mr. A. C. Phelps, man?
ager of the company, as to whether
tho United States had again declared
war on Mexico. Mr. Phelps brought
Prince over to the Item office, where
the latter gave some of his recollec?
tions of his old master's son leaving
for the j Mexican War and something
about Dr. Samuel Furman, the foun?
der of Furman University.
Prince Taylor was born a slave on
Dr. Furman's place at Providence,
Sumter county, and has lived there
all of his eighty-nine years, except
for ten months, which he spent in
Emanuel county, Ga., near Swains
boro, on a turpentine farm. Prince
stated that he was a young man at
the outbreak of the Mexican War and
he remembered well the musters of
the company at the mustering ground,
near Catchall, and he always went to
these musters, as there was always a
big dinner attendant on them, and
the negroes present came In for their
share of the good things as well as
the white people. He remembers dis?
tinctly when his young master, Mr.
William Furman, left for the Mexican
War. Others from the neighborhood,
whom Prince knew and remembered
as leaving, were Mr. W. H. Jennings,
Father of Mayor L. D, Jennings of
this city, und Mr. Tom Black, who
never returned from the war.
Taylor stated that he had heard
one of his sons-in-law telling about
about tho disturbance Friday night,
and Saturday morning when he heard
Mr. Phelps and the others talking''
about the situation, he could not'bot? ^
ask if the United States had agarlAq ,e
declared war on Mexico, saying that 8 ^
it made twice it had happened in bis
recollection. He seemed glad, how- a$,
ever, that there was not to be a war^d I
and soon branched off into reminis?uT
cences of his former master, Dr. Sam* W
uel Furman. (I 'uVl
*Dr. Furman, he stated, would nev- '
er allow him, as his doachman, to *
drive around anyone In the road,
whether the others were walking or
riding, saying that it would be impo-,0j,
lite and unkind to splash mud on
them, if, the roads were wet, and to a.
make the other person take their .\\
dust, If the roads were dry. "Many's *
the time," Prince added, "Marse Sam 1 *
has made me walk the horses for as "^J
much as three miles just to keep from
passing somebody, who was walking.'.' A
Then Prince added, again: "I have .
lived to see a lot of changes, and I A
don't know anybody does that nowa?
days."
Prince says that at the close of the
war Dr. Furman gave him the follow?
ing advice, which he has always re?
membered and tried to live by: "Now,
my boy, my responsibility for you Is
gone. The burden has been shifted
from my shoulders to yours?to rest
upon you for you and your family,
liespect the law, my boy, and the law
will never hurt you. If you are ar?
rested, go along quietly. Don't go to
the law, for if you get the best end of
it, you get nothing worthwhile. Prin?
ciple and character is all you've got,
my boy, and if you lose that you is
forever 'done. If you know bad com?
pany, don't go into it; if you get into
bad company, steal away from it.
Remember, principle and character is
all you got. my boy, and hold to that."
"And," added Prince, with pride, "I
been following that advice ever since
and I been teaching it to my children
land all about me in words and in my
life, I can't do more than that can
I?"
Prince has lived, except for the ten
months already mentioned, all his life
I in sight of the house in which he was
: born, a house which, he says, is still
standing. He has been married twice,
having eleven children by his first
wife, and he has had ten children by
his second wife and anticipates the
eleventh, "if the Ixird is good to me,"
at some time soon." The next time 1
or any of my children get Into the
magistrate's court or Into any court of
law, will be the first time" Prince stat?
ed, which is a record which many
white, as well as black families, might
eudeavor to emulate, ,4Vss\_BssssasB?smi
