THE NORTH GEORGIA CITIZEN, DALTON, GA.
f he Man Who Saved
the Day at Santiago.
Xew York, N. Y., August 30.
___0ne of the most gratifying man
ifestations of a whole generation—
oce which goes straight home to
every southern heart—is the uni-
V ersal disposition on the part of
the press and people of the north
to give credit and do honor to the
^ve men and true who went
forth from the south to fight the
battles of the nation. Here in
jfew York, for instance, every
man one meets and every news
paper in town is giving to our own
Joe Wheeler the unstinted meed
of praise. They are recognizing
him not only as the hero of heroes
among our generals, but as the real
military strategist of the campaign.
They are unhesitatingly saying
that it was his refusal to yield one
inch of captured ground in front
of Santiago, which other officers
were urging, that saved probable
defeat and led to Cervera’s attempt
to escape, which gave our ships a
chance to sink his fleet.
* *• *
While all this makes us who be
long to the south prouder than
ever of this typical example of
southern manhood, though it
doesn’t make us a whit less proud
of our Hobsons and Schleys and
the rest of our heroes, its only ef
fect upon General Wheeler him
self is to make him glad that the
opportunity to serve his country
was given him, and glad that he
has been placed in a position to
help dissipate the last lingering
cloudlet of doubt concerning the
genuineness, the intensity of the
broad minded national patriotism
which wells up in the hearts of
men throughout the land which,
when he did his first fighting,
composed the Confederate States.
* * *
Speaking of this true-hearted,
unassuming gentleman and his
splendid achievements at Santiago
and the light in which he looks at
all that he has done, suggests a
mental query concerning the im
pressions made upon General
Wheeler’s mind and conclusions
reached by him as to the true in
wardness of the members of the
so-called class to which belong the
Astors and the Roosevelts, of
heroic young fellows like Fish and
Tiffany and dozens of others from
among the rich and recognized of
this great citj. I doubt not that
the dissemination of General
Wheeler’s new knowledge of the
admirable characteristics of those
whom the ‘‘money power” sent
forth to fight, suffer and die for
native land will have a harmoniz
ing effect on the popular mind by
clarifying the glass through which
a lot of good people have of late
years been seeing so very darkly.
I venture to say when General
Wheeler goes down home and be
gins to hear, as he surely will, the
small politicians, some of them
withal loyally marching in the
triumphal procession of his own
re-election to congress, meaning
well enough, but seldom knowing
whereof they speak—I doubt not
when he hears these breathing out
threateuings against that (imagin
ed) most ruthless of devouring
beasts, the New York “money
power,” he will put a quick, but
bind, quietus on their mouthings.
^ can almost hear him uttering
Words like these : “You are all
Wrong, boys. Besides having the
best of everything else, America
bas the best rich folk on earth, and
to tell you the honest truth, I
d°n t any more believe that the
ric b are engaged in a conspiracy
mulct, oppress and prey upon
^be poor. Indeed, I am almost
persuaded that even the dreaded
money power’ is but a bugaboo.
^ would take all winter to tell
l°n of the heroic self-sacrifice of
^ ese r ich men’s sons around San-
tia «°> where a man worth far on
i°ward a hundred million dollars
bo:
or horny-handed son of toil. And
then when he came to Camp Wy-
koff and the impression got out
that there was lack of many things
sorely needed by our tired, sick,
enfeebled soldiers, millions could
have been raised in a day to supply
their wants if a way had been pro
vided to get to them the luxuries
which those millions might have
bought.”
* * *
Today the Seventy-first New
York—the emaciated remnant of
that splendid regiment—marched,
as many as could march, up Broad
way and up Fifth avenue, to the
magnificent armory on Murray
Hill. A million grateful men,
women and children, the heart of
hearts of each and all aglow with
patriotic fervor, mingled with ten-
derest human sympathy, stood for
hours along the line of march
waiting to welcome the “returning
brave,” the surviving four hun
dred, and to help make them real
ize how proud of them New York
felt. And if it had been a Vir
ginia, Georgia or Alabama regi
ment it would have been just the
same; the welcome would have
been absolutely as immense and as
enthusiastic. When the “Rough
Riders” (almost a Texas regiment)
shall march up Broadway there
will be not one million, but five
million welcomers found flocked
hither from all the country round
about, even from Bunker Hill un
to the field of Gettysburg.

But enough of patriotic exuber
ance for a paper that is presumed
to talk business to its readers,
though the Manufacturers’ Record
considers everything which con
cerns the national honor and glory
and credit, and which tends to
place the people of the south in
their proper light before the world,
as the best kind of business read
ing.—Thomas P. Grasty in Balti

Tale of a Hasonic Pirate.
A remarkable experience was
once narrated to me by Capt. Tis
dale, father-in-law of the late Sam
uel T. Cobb, editor of the Boston
Home Journal, relates a writer in
the Boston Transcript. Capt.
Tisdale told me that the ship that
he commanded was captured by
Portuguese pirates, and he, with
his crew, was taken aboard the
pirate craft, the noose put upon
their necks, and all was ready for
stringing up at a given signal.
With an instinctive impulse of
despair, Capt. Tisdale threw out
the grand Masonic sign. The
pirate captain was a Freemason
and recognized it. He ordered
the rope to be taken from Capt.
Tisdale’s neck, and took him to his
cabin, where he examined him.
Well satisfied with the examina
tion, he treated him to the best he
had in his cabin and then, return
ing with him to the deck, he or
dered the ropes to be taken from
the necks of the captured crew.
He then entertained the officers
as guests in his cabin, and ordered
a sumptuous repast to be served
out to the crew. After all had
partaken to their satisfaction, he
ordered the boatswain to take them
all to their own vessel.
Arrived at the ship, Capt. Tis- 111
dale waited till all had climbed to
the deck, and then he took his
turn. When he started to go up
the pirate boatswain exclaimed, in
a deep, guttural voice, which Capt.
Tisdale imitated as only an old
sea captain could: “You tank your
God you fell into such hands! ”
and then ordered his boat’s crew
to pull for the black craft whose
terrible master had displayed such
loyal devotion to the grand order
of which he was a member, and
given evidence of the inextinguish
able spark that is in everyghuman
breast.

Signature
of
H. W. GRADY’S COTTON DEAL.
He Learned What a Wren Was.—
Did Not Want a Turkey.
The late H. W. Grady, of Geor
gia, did not care for cards ; neither
did he drink; he was an editor,
not a gambler, and what he did
not know about the speculative
market would fill a large book ;
but in the year 1888 he was un
wise enough to bull cotton. There
was to be a t>anner year for cotton,
at least all Southerners thought
so, and backed their judgments
accordingly. Early in the spring
of that year Mr. Grady went to
Florida on a fishing trip with a
party of New York cotton brokers.
They were all good friends of his,
and they decided to put him on to
a good thing. Mr. Grady, noth
ing loath to make a good fortune
at one stroke, listened eagerly to
all they told him. They were
perfectly sincere in their advice,
and they were confident they could
force June cotton to 14c., and
that there was a fortune in it for
all who bought it at 11.80, the
price then quoted.
Filled with enthusiasm, Mr.
Grady hurried back to Atlanta
and bought 1,000 bales at 11.80
per pound. He was naturally op
timistic, and many air castles did
he build during those days of an
ticipation. He was not a man to
go at anything in a half-hearted
manner ; for the time being the
editor was merged into the specu
lator. He had a ticker put into
his office, and he watched it day
after day with the greatest solici
tude, He was so sure of success
that he tried to get all his friends
into the speculation. He was
full of plans as to the best way to
spend the money that was sure to
be his, and he never tired of tell
ing what he would do when cot
ton went to 14c.
For a number of days cotton
stood still, the market was heavy
and dull, and things seemed slow.
Grady was beginning to get a lit
tle discouraged when cotton began
to pick up a little, and again he
indulged in rosehued dreams.
Things went on in this way for
quite a while, one day up and the
next day down, simply dancing
all around the original price of
11.80. Mr. Grady would look at
the ticker in a rather puzzled way
as cotton began to go off slowly
but steadily. At first it would
rally a little, but one day it simply
dropped fifty points and things
looked rather bearish.
Grady’s air castles all vanished,
and he was rather anxiously await
ing summons from his broker for
more margins. One morning he
arrived at his office and found a
telegram in cipher from his broker.
The telegram read something
like this :
“ Place wren account of mar-

Now, Mr. Grady imagined he
knew all the uses of the wren, but
he begun to think that possibly he
was mistaken, as he failed to see
whc.t good a wren would do placed
as a margin, so he went to his
private secretary to find out what
kind of a wren was wanted. When
the secretary returned he informed
Mr. Grady that wren meant $2,-
500. Very few men can indulge
joke at their own expense,
particularly under such circum
stances as Grady was then passing
through, but in his most genial
way he said:
“ Jim, go and ask him to make
it a humming bird. Just suppose
he had said turkey?”—New lffirk

door, make remarks and stare at
the ladies who pass, as is their cus
tom. Any member known to es
cort a young lady to church like
a man and sit with her like a gen
tleman, will be promptly expelled
from membership.”—Cedartown
