Time-*
Living within a few hour*' ride of the
former home of the celebrated John Ron -
i of Roanoke, I have often passed and
viewed the place where trudilion says hi*
sepulchre is. with his head to the east, the
reverre of the custom then and t ow pre
vailing Amonc the old ie*gl** rf C har
lotte Coanty who kn* \\ him. the question
has often been akd why Mr Randolph,
with his dwell'ng on an enknence over
looking the Staunton River, with Ms b.o.d
stretch of magnificent lowlands, s ould
have named his residence "Roanoke** end
afflxe<l It after hi* signature.
There is a large creek, with headwaters
near the Prince Edward County line, flow
ing frem north voeauth mr > igh ihe coun

j aides of this stream, naar its mo.itt>
where it empties uato the Htsun on.
Randolph owned u body of land. His
hone- |ds* r.t far distant from the
creek, he called "Roanoke," following a
cob anal cu.’tuun of th* Ki lan<leil pi o

In talking with old people ysara •*
abou* Fiandolph. and esped Jly with
thoe*i who kn. w him perwmnlVy. 1 have |
been often impressed with the vurlous n<l
contradictory view- entertained about
him Some looked upon him with fear,
many with admiration, and others with
derision Hut all agreed thut he was a
"wonderful man” and of unaurpassed
mental brilliancy Every one would aay
that "when Randolph tra rated it was In
:i coach drawn by four Tiors** and ac
companied by postilions.”
My father was High Rise riff of Charlotte
County for • number or year* fthnt
officer then collected th#* state and county
revenue*) and during Itandolph'n life had a
high regard for him and always support- ,
and him. except wh*a Randolph opposed
president Jackson “He said Mr Ran
dolph was a courteous and hospitable man j
*t hia house, and when h** visited him
to collect his taxes, always had the no t
change, having 'a****!! previously notified •
of 1 ti** amount li<* risked Mr Randolph
on one occasion to go over the calcula
tions and see '*t they were correct. Mr (
Kaniolph replied: "An official like you. t
wrh*. nt tends #> his duties nnd lets other j
people's busl/ress alone. Is not likely to
make mlMuk.c "
Another fpvorfte re* olle* tlon often re
peated was when Mr. Randolph called to
see a nelrhbor he found his wife busily
engaged, ea she said, in making clothes
for the paor Greeks (at the lm* so much
