Son of Marslal Nej Claims to Hate Visit ed Row an County 30 Years Ago. The Indianapolis News of Feb rnary 29th last comes'to us with a very interesting, story. Under the date line of Saltillo, Ind., a staa correspondent describes at length the hundredth anniversary celebration of an aged man who, owing birth on February 29th, has seen only twenty-four birth days. It is not the hundred years or the leap year birth of the cele brant, however, but a claim to be the son of Marshal Ney and a tale hanging by that claim which lend the event most interest." r .bub 16 is oecause tnis old iei low's story harks back to Peter Carolina school teacher who has been declared none other than Marshal Ney by at least one painstaking investigator that we give him so much attention, His account of himself as set forth by The News correspondent follows in full: "I was born in Paris, on Feb ruary 29th, 1808. My father was Grand Marshal Ney, and my mother was Madam Ney, his wife, whose maiden name was Mile Aglae Auguie. I was the third of four chidren, and was between seven and eight yearn old when Waterloo crashed ever our house. a - , Of course I remember it. -And then came the days of sorrow. It was along in 1821 that I next saw my father. That was in Balti more. I had been sent across the ocean by my mother,-and saw my father, who 'was thein a country school teacher in South Carolina, living there under the name of Peter jStuart Ney. He picked out for me a medical career, and' put me in school in Philadelphia, where I studied at the Jefferson Medical College under Dr. James Rush. ;. I1T " 1? 1 M l .1 never uvea mm my rather in this country, but I saw him a Viftlf.f?n7on nr mnro fimaa f.fia loot time in the forties at a tavern kept by Thomas Allison, at Statesville, N. C. He was then teaching school in Rowan county, North Carolina, where he died Novem ber 15th, 1846, insisting that he was the great French marshal. "I went to Rowan county thirty yearslater and to get my father's body and bring it back here, but I was not permitted to do so be cause of 4he local objections. Jn Rowan county, where his memory was much revered." ' It was almost inevitable' that the peculiar and suspicious cir cumstances attending Marshal Ney's suppossed execution and burial should have given rise to a tradition of his survived and sub aeauent re-aTvrA&rftnrfi Dnnnorn. ing this tradition and Peter Stuart Ney's part in it we do not assume :to speak with confidence. It would not be at all unreasonable to suppose that Ney's life was saved by a chivalrous enemy on condition that he live there- . after in romoteness and obscurity. Those who feel a special interest in the subject may read with prof it the late Rev. James A. Weston's Historic Doubts Concerning the Execution of Mar-ihal Ney."f It is worth noting that whatever the credibility of the old Indiana doctor who claims to be a son of the marshal he does not set up a rival alleged survivor but stands by the Carolina Ney. The myth, therefore, if myth it be, at least shows unimpeached unity. For our part, if only Marshal Ney's survival were definitely proved, we should have little difficulty in giving Peter Stuart Ney's claim full faith and credit.. But does anybody in Nor ah Carolina, espe cialy western Rowan, know any thing about the old man Neyman who says lie came to Rowan county thirty years ago for Peter Stuart Ney's body. Charlotte Obseever. . His Start as a Printer. It is remembered of the late Thomas K. Bruner that he got his early training in the printing business in a rather strenuous way. une 01 tne mean tmngs tne Yankees did in Salisbury besides burning the railroad shops, was to sack h'e printing office of The Carolina Watchman,edited by J. J. Bruner, father of young Tom, then a lad of about ten years of age. They carried all th6 type caser to thVmnaow and pitched the type into the street. The elder Bruner making the best of the mat ter, set to work on the rather dis couraging task of picking up and sorting the type back in the cases. It was a tedious job. Young Tom helped in it and thus got his experience of type setting from a conglomerate mass of metal in the street. It was not long until he had developed into a bright newspaper writer and helped his father to make The Carolina Watchman the equal to," and in many respects the counterpart of, the old Charlotte Democrat, Charlotte Chronicle. THE SALOON ELECTION. No Place For Hesitation by a Christian .Man About Wbele He Ought to. Stand. The voters- of the State are to cast their ballots the second time on the subject of Prohibition. Tiiis is to be the last election on thequestion. It will be' adopted by a majority larger than that by which it was defeated. Nobody thereafter will have following enonghfo induce a legislature to submit the issue again to a popu lar vote. The majority should be as it will be a great one. It is easi er to enforce a law enacted by the moral force of a great majority. There is no place for hesitation by a Christian- man about where he ought to stand. Every intelli gent disciple of the Lord is in stinctly resolved already to vote for it. This is an election in which there", is no ground where duty can be done by not voting at all. There is no neutrality in morals. Not to vote is to help ene mies of the measure. Every voter must be for or against it. The Word of God clearly calls every saint to vote for it. And that settlesthe question. We owe it to the poor and ignorant to close the saloons. One 'of the amazing things in?this country is the reck lessness with which men who earn their wages by hard labor honest labor pour their hard earned money into the coffers of the sa loons. We'must help strike down any thing that fills our jails, de stroy the comfort of home and the peace of families, debases and brutalizes our people. The natur al tendency of Jthe saloon is to produce criminality in the popu lation large and among saloon keepers themselves. It debauches net only the body social but the body political as well. No drunk ard can enter the kingdom of God, and saloons are drunkard-making. Therefore'we are called upon as missionaries oi tne cross every one of us to help I wipe out the saloons as a part of our work of rescuing the perishing.- Pre&byte- rianStandard.
