THE aMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER SUNDAY. OCTOBER 18, 1891.
An Imposing Monument to His
Memory.
JOURNALIST. ORATOR. PATRIOT.
A CHILDLESS HOME.
Smith and h!» wife have every luxury
that money can buy, but there la one
‘ elr
thing lacking to their happiness. Both
are fond of children, but no little voices
prattle, no little feet patter In their
beautiful home. “I would give ten
yean of my life if I could have one
peaithy, living, child of mv own,” Smith
aften says to himself. No woman can
be the mother of healthy offspring un
less she herself is in good health. If she
suffers from female weakness, general
debility, bearing-down pains and func
tional derangements her physical con
dition is such that she cannot hope to
have healthy children. Dr. Pierce’s
Favorite Prescription is a soverign and
guaranteed remedy for all these ailments.
Worn-out, “run-down,” feeble women,

■ally applauded career. When on the
dif of December, 1889, the sad
new* of bis demise was pnblished, and.
it was learned that his meteoric fame,'
which np to that time was increasing
year by year, and even day by day, had
been shronded in the shadows of death,
a nation mourned. The city of bis resi
dence bowed down in grief. The south
wept. The whole country, that ‘‘he
was literally loving into peace,”
monmed.
Mr. Grady was born in Athens, Ga.,
in 1851. During his boyhood he enjoyed
the best educational advantages, bnt the
four years of the civil war seriously in
terrupted bis studies, and most of his
time during that period was spent in
visiting the various points where his
father, Colonel Grady, was stationed
with his regiment. When peace came
it found the lad fatherless. Colonel
Grady having fallen in battle.
Yonng Grady found that he hod no
time to low in equipping himself for his
or. He graduated at the State uni
versity; and then took a postgraduate
course at the University of Virginia.
Daring his terms in each of the institu
tions he was the youngest student in at
tendance. He studied diligently wbat
suited his intellectual bent, but paid
tittle attention to branches in which he
had no interest History, Belles-lettres,
Anglo-Saxon sod Greek attracted his at
tention, and he stood high in all of thesei,
His' command of language was remark
able from the first In the literary so-
ctatiea of both anjvettittaa he canted eg
tbs highest honors as a speaker.
While a student hs wrote a letter to
the Atlanta Constitution, which pleased
the editor so much that hs asked for an
other. • When the first press excursion
after the war was tendered by the au
thorities of the State road, he represented
The Constitution, and his boyish oorro-
spoudenoe. under the signature of ’’King
Hans." wsa the most popular and widely
oopied of all the “write ups” of the trip,
A-Year or two later than this, yonng
fcmwas in journalism in earnest as
the editor and one of the owners of the
Romd (Ga.) Daily Commercial. Rome,
however, was not large enough for the
sprightly and enterprising yonng editor,
and in 1873 Mr. Grady purchased an
interest in the Atlanta Herald. The
Herald was one of the best newspspert
ever printed in the eonth. The Sunday
editione and trade issues were the mar
vel of the day. The Herald, however,
was conducted with more sejl than dis
cretion, so far as its business depart-

they fonght m the columns of the paper
on both sides. The appearance of signed
articles in parallel columns and in di.
rect conflict was a novelty in journalism
and helped the paper immensely.
Mr. Grady's Prohibition tendencies
were well known and were considered
remarkable in a man of his temperament
and surroundings. He was. moreover,
one of the few Prohibitionists who did
not hesitate to avow that be loved drink.
Probably no better statement of his po
sition was ever made than that which he
wrote to iiis yonng friend (afterward his
successor), Mr. Clark Howell. In a letter
Inclosing a birthday present, be wrote:

If you never drink, never gamble and marry

Mr. Gmdy was called the prophet of
the new south. He was active in every
enterprise that promised the development
of her resources and the satisfactory
adjustment of the vexatious problems
that appeared to him as retarding her
progress. His speech before the New
England society at its annual banquet
In New York in 1880 was pnblished in
almost every daily and weekly paper in
thp United States and the London press
complimented it in the highest terms.

ment wan concerned. It disappeared
from the field after n short time, and Mr.
Grady became southern correspondent
of the New York Herald.
In 1880 Mr. Grady purchased a fourth
interest in The Constitution, taking the
position of managing editor and retain
ing this post tin til his death. Hs was
the penin, of that paper, though Me
partner, Mr. Howell, on sans occaatono
divided honors with him. This was no
ticeably the case when the great Oeorg{a
Prohibition campaign was is progress.

The year following Mr. Grady de
voted much of, hid time towar 1 organis
ing and aiding the fatuous Piedmont ex
position. TM* proved a great success in
every wsy, president Cleveland and
his wife were among the attendants. In
1888 he organised and conducted the
Piedmont Chantenqna at Balt Springs,
sixteen miles from Atlanta.
In October, 1888, Mr. Grady delivered
a speech at the Texas state fair, et Dallas,
and thii speech was equal to any he
had e*er taade. He traveled in a
special car, and was from one end of
Texas to the other greeted yith one con
tinuous ovation.
In November of the same year he ad
dressed thousands of cheering people at
the Augusta (Ga.) National exposition.
This speech was pronounced to be equal
to the Dallas and New England address
es, and his standing was acknowledged
as one of the great orators of the world.
Mr. Grady had often been suggested
for the second place on the national
ticket before the Democratic convention
in 1888, bnt - he refused to tarn aside
from his chosen work among his own
people to seek after political honors.
He was also urged to become a candi
date for the United States senate, bnt
he declined the honor. He was n jour
nalist by instinct, and kept his thoughts
in the newspaper work.
In the fall of 1889 he went to Boston,
and on Dec. 13 he delivered an address
before the Merchants’ club of that city,
which proved to be one of the greatest
if not the greatest, effort of his life.
No apology is necessary for quoting
here a few of the wonderful passages in
that speech. It sealed hiB fame as one
of the great orators of history, and will
live tqgether with the ablest efforts of
the great men of the world. His de
scription of the son’.h which he loved so
well was full of poetry. He said:
Far to tbs south. Mr. President, separated
from this section by a line—once deilned In ir
repressible difference, once traced in fratri
cidal blood, and now, thunk Go«l, but a vanish
ing shadow—Ilea the fairest and richest domain
