"He was no carpet knight for all
the success he had as an aide. While
in the Philippines, he succeeded in In
ducing his mother to Join him. It was
then I met him. His mother was a
woman of fine mind, keen humor and
great common sense. Wile had that
high self-respect that sustained her In
all the burdens she had had to carry
In her widowhood after the war, with
a family or children to rear and train
up to manhood. She had been a beau
ty and a toast in her girlhood and
early womanhood. Her trials did not
embitter her, hut they gave her a
clearness of perception, enabling her
to estimate properly the real values
in life.
“After he lost his mother, Archie
was constantly quoting her wise and
trenchant observations and showed
the admirable Influence she had upon
his rules of action. His mother was
his only bride and the tender rela
tion between them of companionship
and mutual dependence was sweet and
Inspiring to see anil feel.

tact, ino feeling, complete suppression
of self, the spirit of constant assist
ance to another, quickness of percep
tion. general information, executive
ability, soldierly hearing and loyalty
of the purest type are all qualities
needed to fill the position.
“Archie had them all. He had to
he companionable and silent by turns,
lie became a member of the presi

trying and called for patience and the
utmost good nature. He represented
his chief without committing him.
"Cardinal Newman said 'a gentle
man Is one who always saves another
unnecessary pain.’ Archie filled the
full measure of such a standard. Ho
enlarged and perfected the records of
the White House which preserved the
personal story of the president's life
during hie term. He was responsible
for the whole machinery for'the re

His work wis constant and confining.
But tt never tired his interest. He
did everything so well that he brought

"His loyalty to two successive pres

Even when differences arose between
them, neither ever had reason to
doubt the maintenance of the proper
attitude on his part towardsthe pres*

ety was so fine and his Ideal of duty
so high that he solved a difficulty that
others could not have met.
T do not know- that he could have
united so many qualities contributing
to hla great usefulness, but for his
early experiences. He knew poverty,
he knew luxury, he knew men, he

south deep seated in his nature. But he
had the self-control that enabled him
with entire self-respect to pass unnot
iced expressions of prejudice or criti
cism toward what he held dear,
made thoughtlessly, or upon the as
sumption that he was not a southern
man
..“I like to think of him as the best
type of the new south with its full
flavor of the chivalrous and patriotic
sentiment of the old south, strength
ened by the trials of the war and its
consequences, mellowed by success In
Its struggles against obstacles after
the war, and turned into the deepest
loyalty to the flag by the Sapnish-
American War, and the sense of a full
share in the power and responsibility
of the government of the country.
“Archie’s fist life purpose was prep
aration for the Episcopal ministry, but
he became convinced that he was not
fitted to be useful in that calling. This
was not because he did not love the
church or cherish deep religious feel
ings. The beautiful service and the
forms of his communion appealed
strongly to his whole nature. He was
active always, whenever he might be
in promoting the cause of his church.
In Augusta, In the Philippines, and In
Washington the clergymen and the
bishops felt a personal loss when he
was taken. He was a man of the
world, but he was so in the best sense,
and he found no difficulty tn fulfilling
the duties of a Christian and in meet
ing every social requirement.
"Archie went to his oeatn In a great
disaster that attracted the attention of
this world. We do not know ths de
tails, but we know that women and
children were rescued and he went
down with the ship. Returning from a
much needed vacation, full of what he
had seen and enjoyed, he was hasten
ing again to take up his duties In the
beautiful and stately white house that
should know his earthly form no more
When 1 heard that many were lost, I
knew that Archie would never return.
“He would have selected no other
death, had he been given a choice. He
1s preserved to us in his manly beau
ty, in his soldierly form, In his kind
ly attitude of help, in the discharge of
his highest duty. Thus he is in the
memory of us all. Sad as his end
seems how happy in fact.
“This bridge, on the site of which
for years there has been a bronze me
morial of another sacrifice of a life
for a life and of another hero, fur
nishes a most appropriate means of
expressing the love that his fellow
townsfolk bore and hear to Archie live
and dead, Standing on the plain, slop
ing gently up to tn the sandhills where
where he wns born and which revived
his fondest memories. It will remain
forever to record the story of his high
est duty nobly done."
