REMINISCENT HISTORICAL A Very Interesting and Readable Contribution By Gaston Lichten tein Editor of The Jewish Record. curing ine summer or issz my uncle, Gus Zander, took me with aim on a tour that included the Middle Atlantic States. New Eng land, and Canada, our most north era point being Quebec. Older citizens of Tarboro may re member the extraordinary rain fall in June and the first part, at least, of July. We left for Oi Point on the 5th of the lattei month and had ram for a compan ion from the time we stepped upoL the tram until our arrival at Pin ner's Point. A a child, I used to listen to discussion on all kinds of topics. Tht late Thos. E. Lewis was bookkeep er for my father at this time. He like others in town and country Join ed in comment on the topk than of uppermost importance. A mong the reasons advanced for tht unusual amount of rain, he gave an old superstition, belief in whici. I do not credit, him with, but man; people did believe it once upon a time Mr. Lewis offered in explanation of the continued 'wet season' that, if it ramed on St. Swlthin's day, it would rain for forty days thereai ter, probably supposing the day to be in June. This 8. at Jm out, having made a mantal impression that has last ed all these years, I think worthy of record and shall add a short account of the saint wbost ax stence deserves to be incorporated in o the popular stock of genet si information. S within, or SwKhun, was a Blshor, of Winchester, Hampshire, England from 852 to 862 A. D. He was s tutor to Egbert's boa Ethelwulf ant. was no el for building churches, a man of pie y and humility. He also performed mirac.es. according to one or more of his chroniclers. A sample of this power, happened thus While superintending th b alding of bridge at the east side of the city-, he one day saw some of bis workmen break an o.d woman's basket of eggs, where upon the bishop miraculously re stored them. Before his death he asked to be laid where 'passers by might tread on his grave, and where rain from the eaves might fall on it.' He was buried in the churchy sre at Winchester but,., a century later he was canonized, and the monks ex humed his body to deposit K in the ca. hedral. This translation was to have tak en place on the 15th of July, but owing to violent rains, it was de layed. Hence the belief that forty days of rainy or clear weather will ensue, if the 15th of July is rainy or fair. l WhUe in Montreal. I received a I letter from my school teacher, Mr. I vVukinson. It shows so well fah power I o: interesting the small boy, and I even srrownuns. bv hw variety cc de - ail. that, although he complains o' being too Mred and drowsy' un- dr thi circumstances to write s wor'hy le ter, I shall quote a liber al porri n of it on account of the - jianv things he has touched upon and hi3 happy manner of expression: Tarboro, N. C. July -23, 1892 Dear Gaston, After five days' absence from Tar ooro, and after travelling by o iggy about one hundred and eight; miles through the southern part of 0tlr Count- visiting the public jchoo s. nothing, on my arrival homt this evanini. greeted me more Jpi -asanty than your very intei a,3 ing ie ter, and my only regret is. that my tired and wearied condi a Jn knight wdl not let me indKe i tQ yOU an bxtereating le-ter in re turn for yours. My arrival here this evening was not early enough to gather the news, or town gossip but on my way home from the post offi.e I saw your mother across thejsU,n. Alabama's first native Oover - 3 rect, yet I was too much jaded hen to cross over and speak to I QQr She was looking well, vary W3ll. Your li-tle sister was behina her looking as rosy and as sweet as usual. - - - The Tarboro Base Ball Club has had two or three match games, and. I h3ar always came out vlc-orious. but my information on such sub i eti hi verv limited, being in the ermntrv for several days, and In company with farmers only, my haad is well nigh filled with some thing about corn, cotton, peanuts rice, tobacco, and even Third party," a'.l somewhat mixed and con- uBed witj1 public schools, red bugg moaluK.oes, tc., which will pr;)Dftby disturb my dreams tonight . ... . iureiT interest rou. I . r discovered that Daniel. me painter, was applying Ms paint brush to our old school building, try ing to put on a newer, gayer dress, raady for our reception, tbe 29th of August. Th3 hot suns of July are upon us, but wl'h them come the delicious peach and the sweet melon, the d -light of the smallboy who now be gins to neglect his bat and ball for tho more Dleasant retreats on the lch,w hanVi nf Hendriek'a Creek al to n'a S a a for. sitbouah or the Tar. I am too Jaded and drowsy night to write a letter worthy of mandl.-.g one moment of your atten- ton from those grand objects which Nature has showered upon the banks of the St. Lawrence and Its tributar ies where your mind may feast and look up through "Nature to Na ture's God." Your deeply interested Friend. P. 8. WILKINSON. Those who used to be lovers of th National Game in the early nineties, may recall the locally cele brated Base Ball Team, referred to above, whose twirler of the sphere now Dr. R. H. Johnston, was looked upon as a wonder by the small boy I recall reading In the Weekly Southerner, sent to us at Montreal, how Washinton cams up to Tarboro w th the famous Kugtor. so the newspaper stated, and expected to show our boys the art of bail playing. Then followed an account of a game during the first part of which things did not look well for Tarboro but, as Artie Mor- rii said, Dick Johnston had not warmed up yet. When he d.d warm up. Washing ton ceased her hitting and run get tlag. At the end of the seventh in niog, the score was five to five. Tar ooro got a batting streak and made five runs boih in the eighth and nin h innings. I was informed on my return that uuther Bryan gave vent to bis feel- tigs of joy, when the last ball hid oeea pitched, by holding i up in bfa mitt and exclaiming in substance I Fifteen to Five in favor of Tarboro." I Mr. Wilkinson taught me from September 18J0 to February 186. 1 a period of four years and a half. I began in one of the low classes and whan I left. Dolpfa Stston and myself composed the highest class of the school. If Dolnh is ever called upon to fight for his coun try ana is as persistent snd pa tiant in demanding the Surrender of the enemy as he used to be in de manding It of his schoolmates st the Tarboro Male Academy, tho Unit ei States Navy may be overwhelm ed but it will never give up the bat tie. I spent s pleasant evening with O.d Frank' during my visit to Tar I ooro. a year ago. We talked about I chool dsys. slavery, town and county I history, libraries, and other subject it mi'tual interest, Oar conversation on ante-bellum Ta.bjro brought forth the informs tl n that he recollected Alexander W. Weddell as a young man. who 1 laarned. since writing the sketch of bis, life, was torn In the bouse on Church Street, just behind the Hen ry Clark Brldgers building, now oc- upled by Paul McCabe. Robert Burns Lindsay, a achool teacher of Tarboro In the fortie of the last century and later Cover nor of Alabama, claimed our st- teution for a while. Mr. Wilkinson conveyed the an areas n that the gentleman went to Mississippi, but I was at that time aat In p-a -sion of data to offer to I the contrary. I The life of Mr. Lindssy ought to l:.terest my readers as be probably I taught some of their ancestors. He was bom in Lochmaben, Dum- rries-saire. scouauu, juiy , He received a classical education graduating at St Andrews vers ty, the oldest In Scotland and situa ed in a city of the same n ime, noted for the manufacture of g lf balls, a Mecca for lovers or William H. Tafta favorite sport. When he was e'-ghieeo years old. Robert Bruce Lindsay came to Amer 1 s aad taught school in Tarboro. For ex years be acted as scaooimsster and, while supporting himself Is tha way. read law. In 1848 he went to Tuscumbls. Al- Dims, and opened a law office. He represented Franklin County M the General Assembly in 18o3. also in t'ae Senate In 1857. and aga.n in 1865. !eintlm he married Sarah Miller Wl.aton, a daughter of a wealthy Dlanter of North Alabama, and a half m m or rJ John Anthonv Win nor who la reoorted to have Md k.. cHhtv, Tnf.nfr. nt him AtaLx wa senawMs Swaas wa mm j mmrmw wr th hfi of svpn Pin with bridle reins In his teeth and a navy pistol in each hand and when at cloa quarters wl'h the Northern troops being ordered to surrender, he renll d that he "didn't Join the army l to surrender; that waa not his - 1 business there Mrs. Lindssy wss a first cousin of Gov.
