LEE'S OLD GRAY NAG. ;
!
Traveler, His Good War Horse, Came of
Good Western Virginia Stock,
lltiniore Fuu.
General Lee's favorite war
horse, Traveler, was almost as
well known to tho boldiers of the
Army of Northern Virginia as
the majestic form of the great
commander himself, So many
erroneous descriptions and
stories of the old horse have
appeared in print that a true
history of Traveler is of interest.
In 1886 Thomas L. Brown
wrote the following article for
the Richmond Dispatch, which
was published August 10.
"He (Traveler) was raised by
Mr. Johnson, near the Blue
Sulphur Springs, in Greenbrier
county t Va,, (now West Virginia):
was one of the Gray Eigle stock,
and as a colt, took the first
premium under the name of Jeff
Davis at the Lewisburg fair for
each of the years of 1859 and
I860. He was four years old in
the spring of 1861,
"When the 'Wise Legion' was
encamped on Sewell mountain
opposing the advance of the
Federal army under General
Rosecrans in the fall of 1861, I
was major to the Third Regiment
of Infantry in that region, and
my brother, Capt, Joseph M,
Brown, was quartermaster to
the same regiment, I authorized
my brother to purchase a good
serviceable horse of the best
Greenbrier stock for our use
during the war. After much!
inquiry aDd search, he came
across the horse above mention
ed, and 1 purchased hiaa for $175
(iold value), in the fall of 1861, of
Capt, James W. Johnstcn, sen of
Mr. Johnston first mentioned.
When the Wise Legion was
encamped about Meadow Biuff
and Big Sewell Mountain I rode
this horse, which was then
greatly admired in camp for his
rapid springy walk, his high
spirit, bold carriage and muscu
lar strength, He needed neither
whip nor spur, and would walk
his five or six miles an hour over
rough mouutain roads of West
em Virginia with his rider
sitting firmly in the saddle and
holding him in check by a tight
rein, such vim and eargerness
did he manifest to go right ahead
as soon as he was mounted.
"When General Lee took
command of the Wise Legion
and Floyd Brigade, which were
encamped near Big Sewell
Mountain in the fall of 1861, he
first saw this horse, and took aNorth Carolina Teachers' As-
great fancy to it. He called it
his colt, and said ho would need
is before the war was over.
Whenever the general saw my
brother on this horse he had
something pleasant to say to him
about 'my colt,' as he disignated
this horse.
"As the winter apnroached,
the climate in the Western Vir
ginia mountains caused Rose
cran's army to abandon its
position on Big Sewell and
retreat westward. General Lee
was thereupon ordered to South
Carolina. The Third Regiment
of the Wise Legion was subse
quently detached from the army
in Western Virginia and ordered
to the South Carolina coast,
where it was known as the
sixteenth Virginia Regiment,
under Col. Starke.
'Upon seeing my brother on
his horse, neai Pocataligo. in
South Carolina, Gen. Lee at once
recognized the horse and again
inquired of him pleasantly about
his colt. My brother then of
fered him the horse as a gift,
which the general promptly
declined, and at the same time
remarked: If you will willingly
sell me th horse. I will gladly
use it for a week or so to learn
its qualities.' Thereupon my
brother had the horse sent ro
Gen. Lee's stable. General Lee
returned the horse, stating that
the animal suited him, but that
he could no longer use so valua
ble a horse in such times, unless
it were his own; that if he (my
brother) would not sell please to
keep the horse with many
thanks. This was in February,
1862. At that time I was in
Virginia on the sick list from a
long and severe attack of camp
fever, contracted on Big Sewell
Mountain, My brother wrote to
me of Gen. Lee's desire to have
the horse, and asked me what he
should do. I replied at once, Jlf
he will not accept it, then sell it
to him at what it cost me He
then sold the horse to Gen. Lee
for $200 in currency, the sum of
$25 haying been added by Gen,
Lee to th? price I gave for the
horse in September, 1861, to
, r ,i i . . .
. up .or ,ne aepreeiauon in
' en r
currency irom oeptemoer,
18(51. to February, 1862.
'In 1868 Gen. Lee wrote to
wy brother stating that the
,10rse uad survived the war was
knon as Traveler (spelling the
word with a double V in good
English Htyle), and asking or
his pedigree, which wag obtained
as above mentioned and sent by
my brother to Gen. Lee,
Capt, Robert E. L2e Jr.
youngest son of the general, in
hib 'Reccollections and Letters
of Gen. Robert E, Lee,' has
much to say of Traveler. To an
artist who wanted to paint the
horse, Gen. Lee wrote:
' If I were an artist like you I
would draw a true picture of
Traveler, representing his fine
proportions, muscular figure,
deep chest and short back,
strong haunches, flit legs, small
head, broad forehead, delicate
ears, quick eye, small feet, and
black mane and tail. Such a
picture would inspire a poet
whose genius could then depict
his worth and describe his
endurance of toil, hunger, thirst,
heat, cold, and the dangers and
sufferings through which he
passed, He could dilate upon
his sagacity and affection and
his invariable response to every
wish of his rider. He might
even imagine his thoughts
through the long night marches
and days of battle through which
he has passed. But I am no
artist; I can only say he is a
Confederate gray."
The Legislature,
Raleigh, Jan. 24. Bills
introduced in the house
were
by
Murphy, giving railway conduc
tors authority to make arrests,
by Neil, giving the Soldiers'
Home protection from fire, by
Liughinhouse, to create shellfisn
commission: by Kitctin, to
amend section 3351, of the
Reyisal so as to extend it to all
persons standing in the place of
a parent; by Dilling, requiring
attendance on the public schools,
at least sixteen weeks each year,
of children between the ages of 8
and 14-
This bill is very important,
and is recommended by the
Senate and House committees on
education after a long and careful
consideration. It carries out the
views of the State Superintend
ent of Public Instruction, the
State Labor Commissioner, the
sembly and other educational
organizations. It gives county
boards of education power to
order compulsory attendance on
any school or schools upon
petition by a majority of votes or
an election upon petition, or the
board may order it whenever it
is found the enrollment in any
sshool or district for the pre
ceeding school year has been
less than 60 per cent, or the
average daily attendance has
been less than 35 per cent, of the
school census, this power of
compulsory attendance is vested
in the board without petition or
election. Parents or persons
having control of children over
eight and under 14, must cause
them to attend the public schools
for 16 weeks in a year unless
they have received regular in
struction up to that time else
where. Children over 12 will not be
subiect to this requirement
when lawfully employed at labor,
at home or elsewhere. Violation
of this is a misdemeanor, punish
able by fine not under 5 or over
$25, as is also the employment of
a child under 12, unless the child
shall have attended school 16
weeks,
Winbourne introduced a bill
extending the operation of the
grandfather clause to 1918.
Bills passed to allow Johnson
county owners of vineyards and
orchards to own and make wine
and cider: To add Davidson to
the anti-jug law.
The House took up Justice's
bill increasing the powers of the
attorney general so he can inves
t'gate all trusts and violations of
laws by corporations. the
solicitors to aid him, their
salaries to be ?2, 500.00. He
read letters from 9 solicitors, all
favoring the bill, and said the
committee unanimously fayored
it and the general sentiment was

amend were voted down.

Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 23. The
National Farmers' Union in its
second day of the annual con
vention here to-day, adopted a
number of important resolutions.
Among these was one that the
union should establish a mini
mum price for tho cotton crop of
the present year ai its meeting
next fall, and that by its system
of warehousing it should main
tain such price.
The diversification of crops
was the subjact of a resolution,
which called upon the farmers of
tne country to increase the
variety of their crops and more
largely to raise supplies forborne
consumption. It was urged that
farmers raise something which
shall find a ready local saie each
month of the year.
The Farmers' Union Press
Association, organized at Tex
arkana, Tex., last September,
held its annual meeting to day.
Only routine business was
considered. The CDnvention will
continue through Thursday.

The Cheerful Mao.
Ohio State Journal.
What a boon he is in every
body 's life! Like a bright sun
rise and a gentle south wind,
coming together on a winter
morning, he is to all who cross
his path. He brushes cheerily
along, ' knocking grief and dis
appointment out of his path, and
leaving it fringed with wild
flowers. Such a man is worth a
great deal to the world, more
than all his money, his wi3dom
or his ambitious schemes. Peo
ple feel a sort of pleasure iast
seeing him come down the street,
and when they meet him there is
not a cloud in sight. Such men
are a blessing to a town. They
make one feel that the ton is
growing, is getting more beanti
f al, more than a place just to eat
and sleep and make a living in.
Sometimes one dosen'fe meet
such men, and then he feels that
the town is degenerating,
that things are going wrong, and
he goes home and meets his
wife's smile with a feeling of
suspicion. A cheerful man
dosn't realize the amount of good
ha is doing in the world. But it
is his nature, and he cannot help
it. Heaven has picked him out
as one of its angles, and he is
faithful to his mission. Every
day some fellow has been made
happy by his pleasant smile and
genial "Good morning," and if
one has a bit of business with
him it passes very much like
an exchange of compliments.

It is not enough that Henry

alive periodically in Mexico, that
Marshal Ney should be discover

serpent should occasionly ap

Mr, P. D, Hinson, of Lincoluton
dropped into the Observer office
list night with the following
story fresh from Oklahoma: A
man by name of David E. George
lived out there until January 13,
1902, in which date he killed
himself with arsenic. An under
taker duly embalmed the body,
which is still subject t3 inspec

profess to see a resemblance.
Oae F. L. Bates, a lawyer, who
appeared for said George, alias
Booth, in some trouble he had at
Enid, came out m an inter

which he said that George had
confessed to him at sundry times
bis identity with Lincoln's assas

Convict Labor for the Canal.
Atlanta Journal.
Harry Still well Edwards has
prosposed to his friend, Presi
dent Roosevelt, a possible solut
ion of the labor problem as it
affects th Panama cmal.
Mr. El varxU makes the
suggestion that cy 'z labor be
used in the contraction of -h
waterway. He urges the presi
dent to put ic up to congress to
enact such legislation as wi!lgive
the various st it aaihority to
lease out their feoas to the Pan
ama contractor?,
Mr. Edwards' idea is that a
great many of the negro
convicts of the south could be
utilized at this work. He p rials
out thai the southern states
would gain a revenue from these
convicts, while the canal work
was going on, equal to that which
is now gained, and at the same
time they would not compete
with free labor during this per
iod, ;
The legality of a state leasing
her convicts, to be nsed beyond
the borders of the commonwealth
in any sort of work, is very
doubtful. There would probably
have to be federal legislation
before Mr. Edwards' scheme
could go into effect.
Our Washington correspon
dent opines that Messrs, Oliver
and Bangs, whose bid for canal
contracts seems likely to be
accepted, would probably be
yery glad to get this sort of labor
as free labor on the channel has
been very hard to procure up to
date.
