2 SENATOR J. T. MORGAN SOME INCIDENTS IN THE LIFE OF THE NOTED ALA BAM ABB STATESMAN. MR. F.M. SIMMONS INTERVIEWED. He Does not Think Fusion Between Populists and Republicans Will Last —The State, he Says, Will be Demo cratic in any Event—Government Ex hibits Being Shipped to Atlanta—Mr. W. W. Long Soon to be Married to a Washington Lady—Newsy Personals. Special to the News and Observer. Washington, D. C., July 1. Sunday’s Post contains a sketch, from the pen of H. L. West, of Senator Mor gan, of Alabama, which has a lesson that ought to inspire every struggling youth in America. After detailing his early life, the son of an unsuccessful merchant who squatted on government land in Alabama, Mr. West states that this great statesman never went to school in his whole life except three years, wl>°u he was from six to nine years of age. I quote from his article: “The loss of school was compensated for, however, in other ways. Life in the open air gave him a rugged constitution; indomitable energy came with the victo rious battle over the uncleared forest; independence of thought and action were the natural consequence of an ex istence where responsibility and danger were ever present. Nor, even though books were scarce, did he lack for litera ture. His mother, the daughter of a Virginia Episcopal clergyman, knew by heart the volumes which, in those days, constituted the main reliance of the reader—the Bible, Young’s “Night Thoughts,” Pollok’s “Course of Time,” Thomson’s “Seasons,” Pope’s “Essay on Man,” and John Wesley’s sermons. Out of her memory she poured forth whole pages of these books, and her boy, in re peating them after her, laid the founda tion of that retentive memory which is to-day the wonder and the admiration - f the United States Senate. When I suggested to the Senator that he would be credited anywhere with a collegiate education, he smiled and said: “Yes, I suppose that is so—which re minds me that w hen I was in Paris with the Behring Sea Commission I dined one day with Lord Hannen, who, at the time of his death recently, was undoubtedly the leading admiralty lawyer in Eng land. We were talking about education in the United States, and he asked me from what university I had graduated. “ ‘I never had a university education, my lord,’ I answered him. “‘Of course,’ he replied, as if apolo gizing, ‘you do not call them universi ties. I mean what college-your alma mater ?’ “And then I told him, what was the truth, that I never stepped foot upon a college campus in my life until one day, during the war I had occasion to take my regiment behind the brick walls of the campus of William and Mary College on the Virginia Peninsula, to fiad protection from the minie balls and rifle bullets that were flying in our direction. He seemed to think it was very remarkable that one could rise to distinction without having a collegiate education, and it was with some pride that I told him that in the United States it was frequently the self taught men who achieved success.” “I believe,” said he, the other day, “in the Holy Scriptures, from Genesis to Revelations, and I know that without Christianity in our government, the whole fabric of our institutions would fall to the ground.” * * * Hon. F. M. Simmons, collector of In ternal Revenue, while in the city, was interviewed by a Post reporter. “The fusion idea,” said Mr. Simmons, “will not endure in North Carolina. There is no natural affinity between the Republicans and Populists. I predict that they will fall out and dissolve part nership before the next general elections, and that thousands of the latter will re turn to the party of their first love—the Democracy. “On the silver question, I expect to see our people take a moderate and con servative stand. Most of the country voters are for frea coinage of both metals, j and most of the city people are for the gold standard, but there will be no fac tional strife within our ranks, and whether the national convention adopts a free silver plank or declares for ‘sound money,’ North Carolina will do its duty by the party, and can be counted on as reliably Democratic in any contingency.” * * ♦ Miss Ida Castleman and niece, Mi* Mary Lee Castleman, left to day to visit friends and relatives in' North Caro lina. * * * General W. It. Cox, Secretary of the Senate, returned yesterday to this city from a two weeks’ visit to his home in Edgecombe county. ¥ ¥ ¥ Dr. Dabney, Assistant Secretary of Agriculture, stated yesterday that the Agricultural Department would begin the last of this week to ship fhfi- collec tions of the department to Atlanta for the Exposition.
