Xew Facts in the Hfstorj of the North Carolina Schoolmaster. Hl3 Death-bed Statement Cp- ent Reasons for Bell ) Wag hita- have been the Famous Freq Marshal. " Waahington Critic Many years ago, say in the early rriorniug of the present century, the Piedmont region of Xorth Carolina was Tcry sparsely settled, but the inhabitants of those days -were thrifty, honest and enterprising people. There' were, no railroads then to carry oft the extra cor.v cattle, tallow, hides, fur, whisky and brandy, so every fall there - would be large streams of white top wag ons rolling southward and laden with the surplus from the rich farms Which dotted the country all along, the streams in that section, and in a few weeks these caravans would return, bringing iron, nails, sugar, colfee, molasses, and a few other household necessities, which could not be made by the nfuihle fingers of the industrious housewife. Charleston, S. C, was then the great Southern metropolis it be ing; the largest trading centre on the: Atlantic Slope south of Phila d el phi a. j Aftcrj the war of 1S12 with our Mother Country and the cessation of hostilities with the red man, and after confidence had been fully re stored, these people began in car nest to develop their beautiful and new country. Their efforts were crowned with success, and with prosperity came a new interest in educational matters. - Xo section of the Old North State can point to that period in her history and show a better record in the way of edu- i eating her sons and daughters than can Iredell, Davie, Rowan and oth er counties lying along the east side of the Blue Ridge. Colleges and high schdols were not accessible, as they are now, but as the heads of families procured none but good teachers for the log-cabin schools, many of the young people of those days received as good an education as is often obtained now in schools of hiigh grade. Among the many good teachers who plied the vocation in those days was one Peter S. 2STey, -who tiret made his appearance in South Carolina during the year 1816, and afterwards drifted with the return ing tide of traders to North Caro lina. He was an unusual man for that country, and was soon recog nized by all with whom he came in contact as being a man of superior parts, lie taught in several coun ties and several communities in each county, and all the schools were successful. Judging from the character of the man and from what le would occasionally say, the older pupils and their parents were not a great while in forming the opinion that he was THE CELEBRApSD MARSHAL KEY, Napoleon's "bravest of the brave' wno, according to all nistory, 'after fifteen sittings of the court of peers," was condemned to die for high treason, was shot on the. 7th day of December, 1815, and whose "body received ten balls and fell lifeless." This belief continued to grow until by the time of his death it wa. almost a settled fact in the minds of those who knew him well lie died in Rowan county and was buried at Third Creek Church, and his friends erected a marble slab at his grave, bearing the following in scription IX MEMORY OF PETER STUART NEY; One of Napoleon Bonaparte's Mar shals, and a Soldier in the French Revolution, icio Died November 15th, 184G, aged 77 years. As time rolled on after the death of the old gentleman, and- as his pupils grew up and became more familiar with French history, and drew more comparisons between the celebrated Marshal and their dead teacher, the interest increased, and, notwithstanding the mystery which seemed to; hang- over Ney and his previous life, every one of his old friend 3 and pupils, without a single exception, became fully convinced that he was the veritable "Marshal. I havevisited the homes and talked with a great many of, Ney'.s old pupils and acquaintances now living in Carolina, and here with, give some of . his characteris tics and peculiarities, and some- of the reasons those people? assign for believing him to be the world-renown ed Marshal , "and I trus t ' they will be carefully considered by the many newspaper- correspondents who during the past two jor three weeks, have seen fit to regard this matter as "senseless talk1 and the good people of North ' Carolina as 4 'foolish' an d ' 'ignora n t d u pes' for entertaining such ideas. IN PERSONAL APPEARANCE they describe Peter Ney , 'a3 be ing tall, broad-shouldered, fully developed body, military . appear ance, firm countenance, fully defin ed features lar hnr piercing eyes and bald hjj With af slight fringe of Eand j red gray heir. around the sides. This conforms to the historic Xer, who was "ro bust," with ? "military carriage," had "strongly marked features," prominent chin," "large and ele vated forehead," and who "in later life, by the exposure which he had had suffered, was rendered almost j aid.":-- ' ' THE ALLEGED EXECUTION. On'seventl occasions when under the influence of .whisky, for he loved his dram, Ney said that he wa3 the Marshal, and he told - the same to two or three of bis most in timate friends when he was entirely sober. He said the soldiers detailed to shoot were his old comrades in arms, and jahile on his way to the garden of Luxembourg, the place of execution, they whispered and told him to fall quickly at the com mand of "fire," and leave the bal ance to them. He did as they re quested, Ney giving the command himself; and the ten historic balls passed over hira-und lodged in the wall behind. The ofiicera, who were on their horses near by, gallop ed off as soon a3 Ney fell; the attend ing physician, who was also an old friend of Ney, pronounced him dead; he was placed in a coffin and turned over to his friends, and soon shipped from. Bordeaux to America, while the empty casket was buried in Pere la Chaise. It is very plain that a scheme of this kind could have been easily planned and car ried outi for there was great indig nation throughout France on ac count of the proceedings against Ney. AVhen he was first brought before the council of war Marshal Moncey was named president of the council, but he at once addressed a manly and indignant communica tion to the king peremptorily refus ing to sit m council against Nev which act caused him three months' imprisonment. His letter bore sentiments which will consecrate his name to" perpetual honor. Among other things, he said : "And shall 1 consign to death the man to whom so many Frenchmen are in debted for life, to whom so many families owe their sons, their fa thers ?" Peter S. Ney was - FIRST SEEN IN SOUTH CAROLINA in 181G, the year following the his torical date of Marshal Ney's exe cution. At one time, some yare after," he was sitting in the corner at a hotel in Darlington, S. C. when a stranger present was telling the crowd about his extensive trav els, and among other places he had visited was that of the tomb of Marshal Ney. The old man arous ed himself up, he being partly in toxicated, and said : "You perhaps saw the monument erected to Ney, but he was not there. Ney s dust cannot be found in French soil." The first known of-Nev in North CaroMna in 1817, some time after the inauguration of President Mon roe. One day during this year Dr. Schools, an educated Irishman, who had some years previous moved ta that section, and some of the citi- i were about to get into a diffi culty while discussing politics on the streets of Alocksville Davie county, 'and just as the doctor drew a dagger and was about to plunge WW A. . W it into his antagonist, a stranger caught his arm, took the weapon from him and remarked: "You shall not . kill " an unarmed man while 1 am here." The stranger was Ney. The crowd cheered this brave and soldierly act lustily, and it was soon. after this that he began teaching in that neighborhood. NET AS A SWORDSMAN. One day a gentlemam represent ing himself as being a professional fencer came to Mocksville with the purpose of teaching the art of han dling the sword. Obc of Ney's pur pus told him if he would contest with his teacher and prove victori ous a class would be organized at once. He accepted the challenge and gave JNey a sword. Alter a few thrusts -Ney gave one of his quick strokes and cut off the top of his antagonist's hat. The profes sor threw down his sword and said "Gentlemen, you have 'a fencing master now, and do not need me. Ney always took a great deal - of pains at school in teaching his boys how to handle the sword would take a few rounds every day at re cess. French history says that when the fencing master of the Fourth Hussars was wounded by the champion of a neighboring reg iment. Marshal Ney "was selected to vindicate the honor of his corps," and after gaining-a victory in this contest; and jnnicting a severe wound npon the former hero, Nev, "with that kindness of heart which always distinguished him, settled a pension upon his antagonist. - - Peter Stuart Ney is what the old teacher al way 8 claimed as his name, though he was known on several Loccasions ta write it P. S. M. Ney. The father, of Michael Ney, the Marshal; was named Peter arid was a cooper by trade, after he retired from the army, and his mother was a Scotch lady hence the name Stuart. .Ney.was-; J 7 : FOND OF HIS TODDY and many times 'took -too -much. The sturdy old farmers iu the com munity iu which he taught, tried to prevail upon him to abstain, and at times ho would do so for a lew months, but he would invariably return to the cop- wherever, any thing irritated birn sewVlj. One of hi friends, knowing Ney's faik ing, but too kind to keep it from him, sat out. his bottle one day and attempted to limit him by placing by its side a small wine "glass, but after turning down one glass he re marked : "My friend, three scru ples make one drachm," and' he proceeded to make the dram. Ney was very firm in his school rulings, but there was a streak of kindness running through all his acts, which caused bi3 pupils to love as well as to fear him. He was' especially kind to children. ana nearly always Kept a pacKage of candy in his desk; and when small child said a good lesson it was sure to bo rewarded with a stick. Whenever he was under the influ ence of liquor in any of the villages' he would buy candy, and would walk the streets and distribute it among the children he met. , He wrote a great deal, nearly all of his spare time being employed in that way. He had large packages of. manuscript, but as he kept, it - very close no one ever knew what it was. In comparing ' HIS HANDWRITING with that of Marshal Ney I could trace a striking resemblance in many of the letters, and he had the same peculiarity of making a flour ish with the pen at the close of his signature. He often wrote vyords of advice or lines of poetry in the school books or autograph albums of his pupils. He wrote the follow ing significant lines in the auto graph album of one of his school girls, dated May 20, 183G : : . Though I of the chosen, the choicest, . To fame gave her loftiest tone . Though I 'mong the brave, the bravest, ; My plume and my baton are gone. My eagle that mounted to conquest Hath stooped from his altitude high, : A prey to a vulture the foulest, - No more to visit the sky. - .' .' One sigh for the hopes that have perished, One tear for the wreck of the past,, One look upon all I have cherished, One lingering look, 'tis the last. And now from remembrance I banish . ' The glories that shown in my r&in: O, vanish, fond memories vanish, . lieturn not to sting me again 1 y V During the year 182-5 the Savan nah, Ga., p.jvre created a eerie tv tion one morning by publishing that one of Marshal Ney's sons was in the city. A few days later it was also published that he was closeted with the police. the whole time he was there, and that ho quietly dis appeared without any one knowing sews.,.. he had gotie. About - the same time a yoTTu man visited Ney in Iredell county, remaineuiaqse conference with! him for several days and left. Ney never told who his visitor was, but some say who saw him that there was a striking resemblance between the two men. One day when he was teaching on Hunting Creek, in Iredell county. he had taken several drams, and, feeling rather communicative, took the boys to a large flat sandbar left near the school after a freshet, and with a stick markedioff the plan of the battle of Waterloo in detail, and showed the various points 'he occupied and where the five horses were killed under him. While living in that neighborhood he did not get home in due time one night and his landlady sent two iigro men to look for him. Ihey found him on the roadside and placed him on a horse, and as he could not sit up, they put him across the animal so they could hold him on. Ho exclaimed : "What, is this the way -you treat the Duke of Elchingen, like a bag of meal ?" This was the ducal title bestowed upon Ney from the battle of Ulm Cassar was hisfavoriteclassic, and he knew it almost by heart. " He very seldom had to refer to the book while the class was reciting. In commenting on Csesar's battles he would invariably compare them with Napoleon's and always make his old leader the greater of the two." He understood a system of short hand writing which, upon invest! gation, was found to be different from any ever used in the United States. He taught it to several of his pupils. Being right well skilled in this he would often write down speeches and sermons as they were delivered. A Frenchman who once served un der Marshal Ney afterwards moved to North Carolina and lived in an adjoining county. - One'day he saw the old teacher on the streets in Statesville, and at once, threw up his hands and' started to him, ex claiming, " 1 v; "MQN DIEU I MARSHAL 2TEY 1" Ney-waved.him off with his right hand and placed the "index finger over his lips; evidently indicating silence. A few hours later the two Frenchmen were seen, in private conference. ?' - " From French history "we learn that four days after the battle of Waterloo Marshal Ney, in a speech before the Court pf Peers; advised a treaty of peace, and in the event this plan was not' adopted, he said there publicly "I for my part will go to America." This shows that his mind was turned 'in this direction-previous to the day, of execu tion. " About the year 1812 a Frenchman namtd LeMonesaeo made a tour of the Southern States, lecturing on " Napoleon's Campaign!," . and while attvluja Ala., he told a gen tleman from JS'orth Carolina in pri Tate conversation that he KNEW THAT XTY ECAl'ED execution and thai hssrwas uicn in America. The Carolinian was then about twenty-two years old and had previous to ihat been one of Ney's students, j Some people may think that if the old teacher was the Marshal he would have gone to Bordentown, N. J., and there have made his home with Joseph Bonaparte, who was living there in fine itvle.as a refugee from the throne of Spain. To these it may he said that it was through the efforts of Ney and oth er Marshals that Spain was subdued before Napoleon placed his brother on the throne and then as Joseph proved se weakminded that he could not retaih the kingdom , he was held in contempt by all those who fought and secured for him that high posi tion, and Ney's soldierly conduct and bravery would not allow him to submit to charity t from a man lor whom he had no respect. Some may , also think that would not have been content Ne wi making known his identity to only a few of his best friends in this free country, and especially while so far in the intcrioT7at least three hun dred miles from any great thorough fare, and almost under the shadow of the Blue Ridgo, the dividingline between advanced civilization and the home of Indians and wild ani mals; but it must be remembered that he was a brave man and a man oi groat nonor, ana ue was content to endure the privations of a quiet life rather than-create noto riety, as he could easily have done, and thus perhaps bring trouble up on the friends who planned and ef fected his escape. . When the first class graduated at Davidson College, in 1810, tho trustees appointed a committee to visit Ney and get him to writo a formfor a diploma, a few minutes, and. same form is used ne wrote it in it is said the to this day, though the college has grown to be one among the best in the South. It was during school one day when Ney received a newspaper an nouncing tho death of young Napo leon. He threw,, the paper down and seemed to go almost wild with grief. He turned to a young man in the school and asked if he could cat the andirons in the fireplace. When he was answered in the neg ative he said there was a much harder task before him than that. E. ?urned school, destroyed a great. deal of his manuscript and pners, and acted so much like a erazyI$an that he was watohed every night imtu wsfriends' finally in duced him to quTCNdown and open school again. : ' .., niS MANUSCRIPTS. " $ Ney moved from Iredell to RowalMO. Latrobe, county a few years before his death, and only a short time before leaving he said to a young man in Iredell, who wa3 one of his favorite students and who had often assisted him in his school : "I am getting old, and will have to die before a great while. When you hear of my deaths-want you to come at once and "t charge oi tins dox oi mannvjrjpr. xou understand my short hand writing better than ! anybody else. W rite this all out and let the people know what it is. There is something here that will astonish the world." - The young man promised to do a3 re quested, put as the facilities for . -t ii ' .t neanng news in mope uays were very limited, it so happened that Ney had been dead some time be fore this gentleman heard it.' As soon as the news reached him. how.- ever, he went in fulfillment of . the 1 promise, but when he reached the placed where Ney died, all docu ments and' papers of all kinds were gone. The gentlemen with whom it was left says .that a man came to his house soon after Ney's death and represented himself as being a member of the New York Histori cal Society, and urged him for these writings, stating that, his society would have the shdrt-hand writing translated and published, and would give him five hundred copies of the book to distribute among Ney's friends, and nnder these represen tations he turned it all over to the stranger, and neither has been heard from since. It was afterward learned that the man was .not a member of the society, and that the manuscript never, came t in possession of that Society. Whether this im poster was a friend of the Ney family, shadowing the old map to his death with the purpose of suppressing his writings, or employed by the French finTPrnmpnt to purloin all these written evidences, or what disposi tion was made of the manuscript, or VEfcat revelations it "would have madMTpublishcd; all remains as great a mistery to this day as that which hangs about the origin and early life of the author. ...r HIS DEATH BED JBENTIMENT3. , "Ney told three different gentle men while on his death .bed that he was the Marshal, and repeated it only a few minutes before he died and this while he was thoroughly conscious, and after his attending phyrhiri-had informed him that thererarno howe of his rrcoverr. Jrr dressing him for burial thec gentlemen found that; in addition to the large scar on the 1 ft top side of hit head, be had been wounded in the neck. side, thigh, wrist, ltz and foot. - When bis remains were exhumed on the 3d of this May it was found by actual tneasurment that the skeleton was fire feet ten inches ia length, and the tknl! seven and three-fourth inches across the fore head and eight inches through from front to rear, giving a circe mfcr .... ence measurement of about twenty- four inches.. Ihisfcri Set the state tnents made by-hiiTpupils as to his size, and prom that he was a man of great capacity. The left side of the skull was much more decom posed than tho right side, which in- - dicates that the head wound bad carried with it a fracture of the skull. I Every statement made in this ar ticle can be verified by living wit nesses whose integrity is beyond question.. The many truths 'and valuable lessons taught by this great man will live on ana on in the com tnunities in which he moved, and coequal with these his old friends will hand down through generation and generation that this quiet and unassuming country school teacher was none other than the great hero of France, tho leader of the rear guard of the grand array."

A prominent citizen of Alamance county said recently . f 'I can go among the farmers of my county and in twelve hours borrow 150, 000 at 0 per cent." "How do you account for this financial strength?" we inquired. "It is largely owing to the fact that we have several large cotton factories giving employ ment to thousands who must be fed and furnish markets for every thing almost that our farmers have to sell. You would be surprised to visit any of these factories and see the great varieties of things brought there by the farmers to sell. They sell everything, and hence they pro duce everything and get the cash for it."
