cold blood by an officer named Great house, and Logan, who had always been a noted friend to the whites, refused to forgive or forget the crime. He was will ing that the war should end, for he had taken his revenge, but he would not make friends. Pressed by repeated messages to attend the conference, he finally sent the reply, which was preserved by Jefferson in his “Notes on Virginia,” and which so many thousands of Ameri can school boys have spoken. "Logan s Bpeesh” created a deep impression even tn the rude camp where backwoodsmen, with guns in their hands, first heard it. and It excites mournful interest yet. ( ap taln Cresap was not. however. guiltj o that particular massacre, but of another, a few days previous. CHAPTER VIII. From the time of his marriage until he became an active member of congress, Mr. Jefferson spent most of his time at Monticello. Public business and law prac tice caused him to be absent frequently, but still the better parts of the years were passd amid the delightful scent s < home, where children came to complete the domestic happiness. Eagerly as an artist at work on a model Mr. Jefferson continued to rear his ma - *Lnce the old Countess of Bl ' reW9b '’ r f; “Boss of Hardwick," who b ; lle ' e< ’ •he would die when she quit building. Jefferson never ceased to make al e■ < - tlons improvements In house or gr " M long as he could lay bls hands on ready cash. . And next to designing houses for himself he delighted In designing them for oth ers. Public buildings, private buildings. In country and In town, residential, de votional. educational—no matter what sort was wanted—Jefferson's heart glow ed with pleasure when he was asked to furnish the plan. We see him In the dawn of his brilliant youth laying the foundation and rearing the walls of Monticello; In his tranquil old age, when he can no longer walk and ride, we shall see him, telescope In hand, watching from his mountain observatory the execution of his last great undertak ing—his noble monument—the University of Virginia- After all, the Instinct of the architect being that of the artist who paints pic tures, no dwelling is lovely without an en vironment which charms. There must be harmony, or the picture is a daub. True to this principle, Mr. Jefferson moulded nature to correspond with the house—the house to accord with nature. The grove, the lawn, the terrace, the gardens, the walk, the drive—he thought of all, and himself directed every touch which transformed rugged, unkempt sur roundings into cultivated beauty. He loved to work too well to leave It to oth ers It was his passion to Impress his thought, his preference upon everything around him. Where to plant the orchard and how; what trees to set out and where; what spot to level for flowers and which for vegetables; how many vines, shrubs, roots, bulbs, seeds, nuts and what sorts; when the planting should be done and In what way; where the ter race wall should run and where the car riage turn; In each respect and all the originator, the supervisor, the final arbi ter was Jefferson himself. He teaches his negroes how to burn brick, forge nails, frame a house, set a window or a door, run a stair, lay a floor, raise a dome. He employs Italian gardeners and then bosses the gardening himself. He keeps tan CTerseer, and then directs bow each field shall be managed, will not allow lazy slaves to be pushed, and singles out the Individual pig for the slaughter. He names his hogs, as ha does his horses; and his overseer affirms that he knows the name of each of these hogs, and that whan one of them is to be killed, It Is SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES.

Bold by druggists. gl the master who designates by name the unfortunate pig. Not only does he have Italian garden ers, as he will afterwards have a French cook, but he takes lessons from an Ital ian music master. Martha Wayles (who is now Mrs. Jefferson) was taught to play upon the harpsichord by Alberte; the same teacher now guides Mr. Jefferson In his struggles with the violin. When absent from home he carries as part of his lug gage a small fiddle (called a kit) and early eyery morning when the others In the house are asleep he begins to prac tice, keeping ft up until breakfast Is ready. For three hours each day, for many years, the persistent Jefferson has been laboring to express In sound the music that was in hfs soul. As to his success in having done so accounts vary. His stylo of music, like his taste In cook ery and house-building, differed radi cally from the standards approved In the backwoods. Country people who dearly love a ''breakdown" do not understand why anybody should play a hymn tune on a fiddle. Such people would sit up all night to hear the catgut ring with "Ar kansas Traveler," "Mississippi Sawyer," "Cotton-Eyed Joe," "Soap-suds Agin the Fence.” "Billy In the Low-grounds,” Devil’s Dream" and "Durang's Horn pipe.” They would go to sleep under the strains of "Cavalllero Rustlcana." When the renowned violinist, Ole Bull, gave a concert in Washington it Is said that in the midst of one of his most ex quisite renditions, when the audience was listening with that intense hush which Is the highest tribute, a harsh voice clanged through the hall, shouting: "None of your high falutln’ atuff! Give us the Arkansas Traveler!” The disturber nas General Felix Grun dy McConnell, a congressman from a southern state. There was an animated struggle, for the general and congressman was stal wart as well as obstructive and heliger ent—but in the end they managed to put him out of the house. To such a man as he, the musical per formances of Thoma® Jefferaon may have seemed quite tame. The fiddlers who pleased country people wore those who played by car; Mr. Jefferson played by note. The tunes which delighted Ihe rural citizen were quick, short, full °f life. Impelling to the dance—lnspiring catches which made the light leap into the eyes of the young, while the feet of agv softly patted the floor, keeping time —merry music of the people, bub bling over with frolic and fun, and bring ing to the lips instinctively the old ball room caJl of "Honor your partners!” Sweet, sweet are the memories which cling to these old tunes! We danced, then •when we were young, our fathers, our grandfathers, our great-grandfathers danced then when they were young. Fair women, bright-eyed, rosy-cheeked, light-footed go in and out, round and round In the dance, radiantly lovely, in nocently joyous, as far back as eye of recollection can sweep. And as the fiddle talks—as the old, old tune rings to the rafter, as the pat of the foot sounds on the floor—it Is not only the boy and the girl of tonight we see as they go dancing far toward the morning, but we see also as in a haze the shadowy forms which come trooping out of the past, the van ished lovers and the vanished maidens of the enchanted realm of "Old Tinies." To country people whose education in music had never gone beyond the sim ple tastes of nature, it Is quite probable that Thomas Jefferson s preference for long drawn Psalm tunes or operatic airs, may have Inspired the same disgust as did the French cook -whose presence In Virginia aroused Patrick Henrv to ac cuse Jefferson of having "abjured his native victuals.” Fhe time not having come for the feud, between these two, Patrick Henry and Thomas Jefferson often played violin duets together; and another brother fid dler of whom Jefferson was fond of playing with was John Randolph, son of Sir John, the father of Edmund. This particular John Randolph was a man of elegant person, manners, and ac complishments. Withal lie was one of the best lawyers in Virginia; holding the post of attorney general under Lord Dun more. And Jefferson coveted Randolph's flddla. yearned eagerly therefor, and entered into a queer contract by the terms of which he was to have the fiddle for three hundred dollars If he outlived Randolph, As a consideration, moving to Randolph, he was to have books of Jefferson to the value of four thousand dollars, in case he outlived Jefferson. With great formality Jefferson had this agreement put into legal shape; attested by George Wythe, Patrick Henry and five othefs. proven before the clerk of the court, and spread upon the records. And now the beginning of a new era was at hand. Old things were passing away. The easy-going times of peace, social repose, and political quiet would be seen no more. Ties of family and of friendship were being broken. Old Lord Fairfax, tie self exiled hermit of the stone lodge in the wilderness of Virginia, the British peer, whose favor gave Washington his first lift to fortune, will grieve over his young friend who seems to be going astray; will soon be saying to his faithful slave. ' Put me to bed; It Is time for me to die." John Randolph feels that loyalty to his king requires him to follow Dunmore In bls flight. His own son Is cut off from him; for Edmund is a fire-eating rebel who wjjl seek service with Washington. But in the sadness and the haste of his going. Randolph does not forget Jeffer son. Money, ready money, will do the I exile more good PJA that the violin. Per haps he will not fq£j like playing jt again I in the England to which be goes. | So Jefferson gets the fiddle now— gets It ! for less than $65. and his heart is made I exceedingly glad. As for Randolph, stanch friend, loyal subject, superb lawyer, splendid gentle man, he says good by forever to his only son on the desolate seashore and goes his i way to London, penniless, ruined. j Upon a wretched pittance from the ] British treasury he llyep in poverty at ■ Brampton, a broken man. IJis daughter, Arlana, had been about to I marry the English aristocrat. Captain ■ Parker, afterwards Admiral Sir Hyde Parker, whose signal to cease firing at Copenhagen Nelson refused to see. This match Is now broken off. and Arl ana weds an old sweetheart, James Wormely, at Dunmores place in Scot land. Broken-hearted, wandering from Brampton to Jhunmore's In Scotland, where his kinsman, the earl, gives him a welcome which makes pne soften to Dun more, eating the bread of poverty and dependence, proud John Randolph did not live long; died in 1784, begging at the last that his body might ba carried back ft) his beloved Virginia, On the first ship that came across .after the peace, the body was brought, ami the exile reeled at length in the college chapel at Williamsburg, beside his broth er tjjid Jiis father. Generous souls will not fall to admire the devotion of such a royalist! Mr. Jefferson’s establishment at Monti cello was now very large. There were eighty-three slaves and thirty-four white people. Included in this latter number were the Widow and children of Dabney Carr. Mr, Jefferson had po sooner burled his friend on the spot they had chosen than he brought the bereaved tgmlly to THE WEEKLY ATLANTA, GL, MONDAY JULY 13, 1903. Monticello, wi-sre bis house became their homo The old mother yet Ilves st Shadwell, and with her Jefferson's younger brother, Randolph. Serenely happy Is the master of Monti cello in these quiet years before the war. He makes and he spends, labors where work Is no toll, loves and is loved, Is in perfect health of body and of mind and to him the world Is bathed in sunlight. Little Martha, the first born, begins to toddle about the house. Husband, father, master, neighbor—he Is kind to everybody. He loves to see bright faces about him. He loves tp give pleasure to others. He would no sooner hurt the feelings of any mortal, wilfully, than he would steal. Never fretting. scolding, worrying; never clouding the sunniness of today by forebodings ,%”out tomorrow; never sour ing the mflk of human kindness by scowls, sarcasms, reproach, wrangles, or malic ious gossip, ho drejv on the bank of the Present for every legitimate pleasure that stood to his credit. He belleyed that the surest way to happiness was the making of others happy. Ti~»is gospel he preached and practiced. SerensJy confident and contented, he hums softly as ho paces about his mountain home, measuring everything with a tape line, weighing everything with steelyards, probing everything with questions, calculating everything with pen or pencil, seeing to everything with his own eyes; and then, at night, or at some odd hour during the day, jotting it down upon those faithful books. A variedly industrious, widely intelli gent, eminently companionable, nobly as piring, warm-hearted, benevolent, bright tempered man. Just the kind of man a stranger would apply to, a beggar hunt up. a cynic shun, a bigot hate, a sharper pursue, a scholar delight in, a patriot trust, a neighbor love and Impose on, a shyster outwit, visitors make a convenience of, overseers bank rupt, philosophers esteem, fellow-states men respect, enemies ridicule as often ns they hated; friends blindly follow, sin cerely respect and good-naturedly joke at; children adore; and a pure, high-minded wife worship with boundless affection. Mixed sunlight and shadow was In this character as in all others, flaws, foibles, follies—the gold not wholly free and pure, but as nearly deserving of unmixed affec tion and admiration as any son of Adam whose, hands were ever given from youth to age to the molding of better laws, bet ter Institutions, better conditions for the human race. CHAPTER IX. The stamp act congress of 1765, called at the Instance of Massachusetts, had taken a conservative position. In the Declaration of Rights then Issued, the colonies merely claimed local self-govern ment,' 1 and self-taxation, together with trial by jury in the colonial courts. In the congress which met at Phila delphia September 5. 1774, the petition to the king for redress of grievances was couched as In 1765, In the. language of loyal subjects; and the Declara tion of Rlgh's made no marked advance over that of 1765, so far as assertion of principles was concerned. They tightened the bands of the boycott against '.he mother country organized to enforce this boycott; and resolved to ostracise, all such American citizens as continued to deal with Great Britain, in fact, the attitude taken by Washington, Lee. Henry, Adams, Sher man. Jay, Dickenson and Rutledge was substantially that of a labor union of the present day during a struggle with a capitalistic trust. Those Americans who would not join the association ami boycott Great Britain were "enemies to the liber ties of their couutr;.and were tlmni selves to be boycotted. These recreants to the common cause were "scabs,” for whom Washington, Adams, Lee, Jay and Sherman had no respect, had only angry scorn ami bitter animosity. Times change, but human nature simply goes round and round. The absence of Mr. Jefferson from the Virginia convention of 1774 was no doubt the reason why he was not chosen by that body as one of the delegates to the first centennial congress. In January, 1775, he was elected by the citizens of Albe marle as a member of their committee of safety; and in March, 1775, he served as th< ir delegate to the second convention, which met In Richmond. Jt was in this convention that Patrick Henry made the speech so familiar to all, the burden of which was "We must light!" It was upon his motion that a committee was named to prepare Vir ginia for the coming conflict. With George Washington acting as chief of a revolutionary committee charged with the duty of "embodying, arming, and disciplining" rebels. Lord Dunmore ■thought it high time to put the king’s powder where his subjects could not, lay rebellious hands upon It. On the night, of April 2b, 1775. ho caused a squad of marines from a British war vessel in James river to come to Williamsburg, seize the powder, and cart it away to the ship. As soon as this fact became known, the patriots assembled In arms. At Fred ericksburg the rebels were persuaded by Randolph and Pendleton to disperse; at Charlottesville they did not act because Washington failed to come at their call. But in Hanover county, Patrick Henry put himself at the head of the volunteers, and straightway began the armed march of thousands to Williamsburg. Dunmore fired off that habitual weapon of admin istrative warfare-a proclamation. His family fled to the shelter of a British i ship. Marines were landed to protect the i royal authorities. But Patrick Henry, deaf to all timid counsels of “the conservative element,” came marching on. Dunmore's nerve failed him; and when the rebels had come to Dorcastle, 16 miles off, he sent a messenger offering pay for the pow der. In his haste he sent a larger sum than the powder was worth, and Henry, not aware that British marines had been landed and threats made to fire upon the town, drew off and disbanded his men. And as he wended his way homeward, the most popular now of all Virginians, Dunmore fired at him again—with another proclamation. In June, 1775, Lord Dunmore convened tlie burgesses to take Into consideration Lord North’s conciliatory proposition. Many of the members came to this ses sion wearing their hunting shirts, and bringing their rifles. Peyton Randolph, who was president of the continental congress, was now called home to preside over the burgesses, and j Mr. Jefferson went to Philadelphia, to succeed him—the Richmond convention having foreseen this vacancy, and having elected Mr. Jefferson to fill it. Before his departure from the Virginia assem bly, however, ho had been asked to pre pare a reply to Lord North’s proposition, and had done so. With slight changes, I his paper was adopted by the house. I This "conciliatory proposition" was, In substance, that parliament, would ex | empt from Imperial taxation any colony i which would voluntarily make such con ■ trlbution to the common defense of the empire, and establish such fixed pro vision for the support of its own civil government as parliament should ap prove The objections to his proposal a,COLIC were obvious. It sought to deal with the colonies separately; it left grievances un redressed; and It quieted' nobody's fears about being transported to England for trial. The unbiased reader Is inclined to be lieve that Great Britain would have found it next to impossible to conciliate her colonies at this time, by any proposition which did not concede the fullest measure of local self-government. The thought of being ruled by masters beyond seas had grown hateful, and while vast differences of opinion existed as to ways and means, policy and man agement, the people were substantially united in their determination to make their own laws and administer their own affairs. Professor Channing, who professes and writes history at Harvard university, ptates that Jefferson succeeded Washing ton In the Virginia delegation to con gress. This Is one of the learned pro feasor's numerous errors In that “Stud ent's” history of his. At the time that the Richmond convention elected Mr. Jef ferson to congress Washington had not been appointed commander in chief, and the Virginians could not possibly have foreseen that there would be such a vacancy in their delegation. What they did foresee was that Peyton Randolph might bo called home from congress to ■preside over the Virginia legislature, and Thomas Jefferson was elected to take Randolph's place In congress, should that vacancy occur. Randolph was called home, Jefferson went forward to take his place In congress. Mr. Jefferson's reputation at the time he entered the congress In 1775 was al ready established throughout the colonies. By those who had kept posted on pass ing events, he w>s known as a ripe scholar, an advanced thinker, an ag gressive patriot, and a forceful, ready writer of political papers. On the day that Jefferson took his seat in congress the news of Bunker Hill camo ringing through the land, thrilling every patriot soul. Five days afterwards he was placed upon the committee which had In hand the preparation of an ad dress setting forth the American side of the controversy with their king, the reasons why the colonies were in arms. John Rutledge of South Carolina, had drawn up a statement which the com mittee did not like. Mr. Jefferson was now asked to try his pen. Ready as ever, the flowing sentences filled page after page and the address was submitted. Again the com mittee was not phased; the language of Mr. Jefferson was too strong. Mr. Dick inson, of Pennsylvania, was the chief objector, and it was now his turn to at tempt to set forth the reason why his majesty's faithful subjects were shoot ing his majesty's soldiers, and blockad ing his majesty’s forces In Boston. His mild, prudent paper was adopted. Mr. Jefferson, however, drew up the reply which congress made to Lord North’s conciliatory proposition. It was in the committee room that Mr. Jefferson was the most effective. Here he felt no embarrassment, and was at his best. His Information was so great, his thoughts so bold and clear, his read iness to take hold of the laboring oar so frank and earnest that he made a tine Impression upon all of his col leagues. His temper was conciliatory. lie steered clear of personal feuds. His sol t answers turned a* ay wrath. His read iness to submit o correction disarmed malice. He made no parade of his learn ing. He did not sulk In his tent be cause his own papers were east aside and his own plans condemned. Even John Adams loved him. And between Jefferson and Samuel Adams, true dem ocrats both, the relations were so cor dial. based mon such harmony of con viction that t. -re never was a rupture between tb-m In Ma". U 75. George Washington, on his way to < ongress, met the Rev. Jona than Boucher in the middle of the Po tomac. Wh'lo their boats paused, the clergyman warned his friend that, the path on which he was entering might icad to "a separation from England.” Washington s answer to the preacher was In temper and substance: "Is thy servant a dog that he should do this thing?" John Jay is quoted as having solemnly declared that prior to that second peti tion of the congress of 1775 he had never heard of anybody mentioning such a word as independence, contemplating such a thins; as separation from Great Britain. Yet the truth is that In 1775 there was, and had long been, a party in the colo nies which was a-weary of British inso lence. British greed and British encroach ments. Southern planters were tired of being robbed by English tariffs and English factors. Northern merchants were tired of navigation acts wi)ich drove all their goods, ships and profits to London and Liverpool. The manner In which Great Britain had Interfered to destroy the local currency of Pennsylvania and Massachusetts was resented; the arro gant tone of superiority in which tory leaders in parliament had spoken of the colonies Individually and collectively was resented; the plain purpose which Eng land showed of reducing the Americans to submission and taxing them at will was resented. And when she struck at Rhode Island with high commissi backed by admirals and generals: when she threatened to take away trial by jury and deport prisoners to England; when she threw the penalty of death aronn-d brass buttons, tar buckets, rope ends and water barrels belonging to her monos war. she aroused bitter enmity In the breast of every American whig who could read or th’nk or fool. When she garrisoned Boston with red coats, when 'ho struck at the Massachu setts charter, when she stretched the boundary lire of Canada hundreds of miles southward. when she closed the Boston port and began to wreak ven geance upon a thousand Innocent In order to punish nr” culprit, every colony was alarmed. Indgnant, resentful, swept Into the current if a common cause. All this was prior to May, 1775. No talk o’ independence until after that second oetition of the second con- I gress? Noboiy dreaming of separation I then? Had not The Boston Gazette been ad- ■ vocatlng seprration for several years? ; Had not Samuel Adams been talking It ! all over the town? I On October 11. 1775, this bold democrat j discussed In The Gazette the plan of "an 1 Independent state." an "American com | mon wealth” is a suggestion that had ■ often been made. I He did not even claim that ho was the originator of the Idea. He spoke of it as common property, something which bad been often mentioned and frequently discussed. The Reverend John Wesley declared that so far back as 1737 the leading peo ple of the colonies were crvlng out for Independence: and in another English namphlet the statement was made that the author hail been personally acquaint ed with the colonies for forty ''ears and independence had been the talk all the time. When the mother country was toasted, as patriots lifted glasses to drink the honrtv sentiment was, "Damn the oh l bitch!” Yet Renlamfn Franklin sat down before Lord Chatham, looked that eagle-beaked Englishman In the eye and told him that nohodv In America drunk or sober, bad eve- hinted at such a thing as Inde pendence.

July 9.—(Special.)—A homicide was committed near Clinton. Laurens county, this morning which startled upper Carolina. Mattie Simpson is a pretty girl. 15 years l old. living with her father. Thomas Simpson. Across the roadway lived John G. Wham and his wife. Yesterday a note purporting to be from Miss Cole man, sister in law of M ham. asking Miss Simpson to pay her a visit as she was alone, was handed the girl. Mrs. Simpson first read the note and became suspicious. She went with her daughter to Wham's house and found tlie man there alone. Wham said he found the note after his sister left and sent it over. The Simpsons were not satisfied and the girl’s father called at Wham's house, who admitted the note was designed far an improper purpose and that Miss Simpson has voluntarily met him four times within a year. The girl's father demanded a fight to the death, but Wham would not meet him. Mrs. Wham last night went to see a friend, L. W. Ramage, to get. him to act as peacemaker. In the meantime Wham's bouse was surrounded by men all night, who would have lynched him if he had I attempted to leave. This morning at 8 | o'clock Ramage and Reid Blakely, a friend, drove to Wham’s house. XV ham greeted them pleasantly. I "John,” said Ramage, "this is a bad i affair you are in." ■Yes," replied Wham, "and I am will- I Ing to make any acknowledgments that i are proper.” ] Ramage suggested that they all go to | Simpson’s, but Wham said he must wait till his preacher came. They started into | Wham’s house, when Blakely suggested i that Wham disarm. He ran into his . house, ordered Blakely out of the yard, I and while Ramage was talking to Mrs. ■ Wham, shot him dead. Thon the wtfe did some acting. Stand i ing on her piazza, she warned all not to ■ approach the house, ns Wham would i commit more murder. The friends of the ! dead man feared to go near the body for ) nearly three hours. Even after the ! sheriff came Mrs. Wham warned him ■ away. All this time the murderer was I fleeing to safety, the house being empty I when searched. I Wham ran out just after the shooting , without being observed. Bloodhounds ! were sent from Columbia and put on I the track, but failed. Armed men from all over the county are in pursuit. Wham bought the Simpson homestead I several years ago. He and the man he [ killed are well kjiown over that section. | They have large and influential connec- I tlons. GRADY BANNER FOR EDITORS.

Miss Blanoh® Grey, a prominent young society woman of Memphis, Tenn., In a recent letter from .174 Alabama street, writes: “To a society woman whose ner vous force Is often taxed to the ut most from lack of rest and Irregular meals, I know of nothing which is of so much benefit as Peruna. I took it a few months ago when I felt my strength giving way, and it soon made tself manifest in giving ma new strength and health.” A Letter from Julia Marlowe. In a recent letter to The Ponina Medi cal Co., Miss Jtilla Marlowe, of New York City, hna the following to say of Peruna: "I am glad to write my endorsement of the great remedy, Ponina, as a nerve tonic. 1 do eo most .heartily.'—Julia Mar lowe. Nervousness Is very common among women. This condition la due to anemic nerve centers. The nerve centers ar- the reservoirs of nerve vitality. Those centers become bloodless for want of proper nutrition. This Is eepeclally true In the warm season. Every summer a host of invalids are produced as the di rect result of weak nerves. This could be easily obviated try the use of Peruna. Peruna strikes at the root of the difficulty by correcting the digestion Digestion furnishes nutrition for the nerve centers. Properly digested food furnishes these reservoirs of life with vitality, which leads to strong, steady nerves, and thus nourishes Ufa. The unsolicited praise that Peruna re ceives surely proves that Peruna. Is with out an equal as a nerve tonlo and vital Jnvlgorator. Thousands of testimonials from women in all parts of the United States are be ing received by Dr. Hartman every year. Buy a bottle of Peruna. If you. do not receive all the benefits from Peruna that you expected, write to Dr Hartman, Columbus. Ohio, at the freedom of the press in such a manner as to cause us to wonder where it will end.” The historic flag, originally owned by Henry tv, Grady, of The Atlanta Consti tution. and presented to the association by Colonel Ellicot, of Charleston, was un furled today at headquarters. «, WILL DEMORALIZE SYSTEM.
