Always study the interests o! their patrons, and appreciating
the tact that the increase in the pi ice of cotton comes a trifle
late to benefit a majority of the producers, the consumers will
realize large benefits if they will make their purchases at the
old reliable
New York Store.

Have you tried the
Ifacon Telegraph,
“ Yea,sir ;I was a classmate at West
Point with Jefferson Davis.”
Heated in one of the arcade chairs
at the Hotel Lanier, on Saturday
was an old man, neatly dressed in a
brown suit and having the appear
ance of a man who had retired from
business on a competency and was
taking life easily. He was quite a
small man, his ruddy faeeornamen
ted with thlnnish Kray hurnsides
und a crop under his pointed chin.
He sat in the chair ns if enjoying
the view of the many people stir
ring about the arcade, his small,
sharp twinkling eyes of gray rest
ing upon every face ns If he was look,
lng for some familiar features.
You would never suspect that he
was 82 years old, for he had been
treated muoh better by time than
the illustrious man he claimed for
his classmate. True, his hair and
heard was almost .as white, but he
had a firmer step, and there was n
glow of health In his face that Mr.
Davis does not possess.
“When was that?” asked a re
porter who overheard the remark.
“That was in 1824. We were In
the same class at West Point, and
he was one of the brightest boys
that ever went away from Missis
sippi. He was an exceedingly
handsome boy, -with hair as black
as a coal, of handsome form and
full of life, like all Southern boys.
He graduated in 1825 and in the
same class was Hugh Mercer, father
of George Mercer, and who was at
the head of the class. I had a diffi
culty with the commandant and
had to go, leaving Mr. Davis there.”
“Where did you last see Mr.
Davis?”
"I kept up with his career, hut
not see him until 1848, while he was
our United States Senator. Hewus
among the passengers on hoard a
Steamboat on the Alabama river.
We had traveled from New Orleans
together and he was on his way to
Washington. One day on the trip I
was In conversation with Gov. Me*
Willis, of Alabama, who was also a
passenger und he spoke of Col. Davis.
While we were thus engaged, Col.
Davis, whom I failed to recognize,
was walking up and down tile deck
talking with James Calhoun,brother
of Patrick Calhoun. I asked the
Goveruor what gentlemau it was
talking to Mr. Calhoun. He replied
that It waaCol. Davis. Jeff Davis?
I asked. It was Jeff Davis, he re
plied. When he had finished with
Mr. Calhoun I went up and spoke
to him, but be said nothing until we
had readied the head of the boat,
and then he said, ‘I’m trying to
locate you.’ I then told him who I
was and lie seemed delighted to see
me. I saw him after that at Mont-
plainly legible. The letter was of
another kind, but in every respect
as legible as that of the deed.
"Let me tell you of a little Inci
dent of my visit here, and you must
remember that I came here express
ly to see Mr. Davis. I moved from
Milledgeville in 1889. That year an
Irish servant stole the oil portrait
of my wife’s father. Siuee my ar
rival here I have received a letter
from Miss Joe Varner, who lives at
Indian Spring, saying that about
fifteen years ago she happened to
stop at a country house not far from
Indian Spring, and was struck
with a portrait hung on the wall.
It seemed so out of place that
she asked about it and finally se
cured it, but could learn nothing of
Its history except that on the back
of It was my father-in-law’s name.
When Miss Joe read in the Tele
graph of my presence here she re
membered the name and resolved
to put it iu my hands, nud I am
waiting right here now for her, as
she came in town last night. You
see I will get a portrait stolen from
me forty-six years ago."
This remarkable well-preserved
man Is Mr. D. K. Betton. He lives
in Cuthbcrt, where he lias two
daughters, one of whom is the wife
of Mr. Daniel Phelps, the well-
known railroad agent at that place.
Mr. Betton lives with his youngest
daughter.
He has an active and retentive
memory and tells many interesting
things about the early days of Mil
ledgcville and Macon.

“Oh, yes. I went up to Col. John

“Tell me something of yourself.”

West Point, an uncle of mine, with

ette back to France. The vessel
was built at Washington, but he
sailed from the mouth of tlio Poto

Oct. 7. The night we left, there
was a fearful storm, and we were in
great danger of being wrecked. The
next morning we found that
there was four feet of wa
ter in the hold from a leak
that was not discovered until
we returned home. W’e threw
overboard a thousand pounda of
32 lb. shot and {aeverai tons of pig
Iron, and thus lightened, the vessel
sailed well. When we left Havre
there was another storm, and ye
hoisted signals. A vessel came to
our relief and we landed on the Isle
of Wight, where I saw a big parade
of soldiera. We remained fourteen
days at Cowes, and then passing
Gibraltar, set sail on the Mediter
ranean. I should have said that it
waa on this voyage that I had the
pleasure of meeting the wife of Lord
Byron at Cowes.”
