Payne's ‘Home, Sweet Home,’ i
The following story of “Horae, i
| Sweet Home,” as written by John
Howard Payne, was related in the
Gainesville Eagle recently, and is
I interesting : |
Payne, was under arrest for incit- j
ing the Indians against the whites.
He was brought before Gen. W. N.
Bishop, who had control of the In- i
dian reservation of a certain pla.ee ;
called “Red Hills of Georgia. I * ' .
On a certain occasion, when
Bishop Payne and others were at
j the burial of an Indian, Payne saqg j
i the words of‘Horae, Sweet Home.’
i The general was so pleased with j
I the song that he asked Payne who j
j composed it. He was informed
that the singer composed both the ;
music and words of the beautiful 1
; song. Mr. Payne was released. 1
! Bishop said that a m..n who had |
; such music in his soul could not do
a wrong to the whites. i
This was the first time that this I
j famous soug was ever heard in pub- j
lie. Payne composed it at bis j
1 home, near Gainesville, about
where the Glades postoffice is situ

The appointments of general of
ficers by the president, as publish
ed in The Atlanta Daily News,
were peculiar.
J. Franklin Bell, who becomes a
brigadier general in the regular
service, has been a brigadier ot
volunteers. His rank in the regu
lar army was that of captain in the
seventh cavalry, and he was the
585th in rank, The president has
promoted him over the heads of
584 captains and all the majors,
lieutenant colonels and colonels in
army, many of whom have
served thirty and forty years.
Major William A Kobbe was a
major of artillery in the regular
army, and later became a brigadier
of volunteers in the Philippines.
He, too, jumps a lot of men high
er in rank than himself. It is said
that he won favor by organizing a
regiment of volunteers whose term
had expired.
Fred D. Grant, son of General
Ulysses S. Grant, held no rank in
the regular service. At the out
break of the war with Spain he was
colonel of the Fourteenth New
York, a Brooklyn regiment. He
afterwards became a brigadier gen

Perhaps the most remarkable
i um P °f all was that of Leonard
Wood, whose regular rank was that
of captain and assistant surgeon,
sixtieth on the list. He becomes
a brigadier of the line, and never
served in the line until the war
with Spain, when he went to Cuba

I The remarkable thing about these
promotions is that such discrimina
J tions are made in the cases of these
j officers, who, no doubt, richly de
I serve promotion, but others, like
: Hobson, of the navy, must take
their turn, with a few points ad
vanee.
The idea has been prevalent that
none but West Pointers bad much
chance in the regular army, but it
is a fact that a majority of the gen
eral officers are not. graduates of
; that school. Lieutenant General
Miles, for instance, is not a West
Pointer, but went to the civil war
as a volunteer from Massachusetts.
While there is 110 doubt some
favoritism in the promotions re¬
cently announced, as a whole they
show that no school of officers has
a monopoly of opportunity. This
is particularly illustrated in the
case of General Leonard Wood.
