ominent inventor, graduated at Yale, and won distinction as lawyer, judge, newspaper editor, Methodist minister, and president of Emory College. His realistic descriptions of country parties, debating societies, horse-trades, fox-hunts, shooting-matches, brutal fights, and the adventures of his hero, the practical joker Ned Brace, insured a fruitful career to humour in the South, which before the Civil War enlisted at least a dozen considerable names in its ranks. From Georgia also came Major Jones's courtship (1840), intimate and comic letters by William Tappan Thompson (1812-82), who had an interesting career as editor and soldier in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida, Maryland, and Georgia. One of the best of early Southern humorists was an Alabama editor, Johnson J. Hooper (1815-62), whose Adventures of Captain Simon Suggs (1846) was admired by Thackeray. Captain Suggs is an amusing rascal, who lives by his wits and who is presented with rare irony by an author who had perhaps the mos

were written largely to assuage a sad longing for his boyhood home. These writings show him to have been, in spite of his political opinions, of the old school of Southern gentlemen. More typical both in opinions and in fervour was Charles Colcock Jones, Jr. (1831-93). Born in Savannah, he graduated from Princeton in 1852 and the Harvard Law School in 1855. His Southern convictions, however, still intact, were intensified by his service in the artillery of the Confederate States. When theYork City, he became the spokesman of the new era, and the title of that speech became the watchword of a vast movement. Though it aroused the ire of the old school, as seen above in the denunciation of the banners of utilitarianism by Charles Colcock Jones, Jr., it expressed a new sense of the economic basis of society and of the social conditions which must obtain more and more in the regenerated South. Some of his later speeches are notable. The South and her problem, delivered in Dallas,

Georgia schools. It is a remarkable fact that the middle counties of Georgia have produced the most representative humorists of the South. Among those who were born or who at some time lived in this part of Georgia may be mentioned A. B. Longstreet, See also Book II, Chap. XIX. the author of Georgia scenes; Richard Malcolm Johnston, See also Book III. Chaos. IV and VI. the author of The Dukesborough tales; William Tappan Thompson, See also Book II, Chap. XIX. the author of Major Jones's courtship; and Harry Stillwell Edwards, the author of Two Runaways and other stories. In the same section were born the two poets Francis O. Ticknor, See also Book III, Chap. III. author of Little Giffen of Tennessee, and Sidney Lanier. See also Book III. Chap. IV. Middle Georgia was also before the war the most democratic part of the slaveholding states, a circumstance not without its influence upon the development of Harris's genius.

ces of an exalted manhood are indelibly impressed. The inscription is: To the memory of my brother, Charles Colcock Jones, Jr., of Augusta, Ga., This Roster is affectionately dedicated. A recent notice in the Southwestern Presbyterian, New Orleans, exhibits an additional bond between these noble brothers. The so lamented Col. Jones was known to the scientific world as a learned archaeologist, who delighted in the accumulated evidences of the existence of the races preceding us on this continent, but the medical fame of Dr. Jones has quite eclipsed the light of other endowments of his. The Presbyterian says: The learned scientist who, in addition to his wide investigation in the departments of medicine and kindred f the present volume of the Papers preclude the publication of but a portion of the results of the invaluable labors of Dr. Jones, and it is to be hoped that the means may yet be attained by which the whole may be preserved in print.—Editor.

t compass. His was a heritage of duty, precept, and practice. Patriotism and virtue had incited and constrained in his forbears, for generations, in the Nation's progress. It has been but a few years since his noble father, Rev. Charles Colcock Jones, D. D., teacher, minister, and philanthropist—blessed and blessing—in fullness of years, was called to his eternal reward. It was the privilege of the writer to meet Dr. Joseph Jones during our late memorable internecine war. I have not been face to face with him since, but we have maintained correspondence at intervals. I was honored in his regard. A brother, like worthy, the late Colonel Charles Colcock Jones, Jr., of Augusta, Ga., I met later, only a few years ago. Although our friendship began later, our communication was more frequent whilst he lived. Rarely in the world's history has it been that an excellent father has been doubly blessed in two sons, such types exemplar, as citizens, patriots, scholars, and usef

C., in which it appeared November 6 and 13, 1898. Reference may be made also to another earnest contribution, published in the News, and reprinted in this volume, Charles Colcock Jones—an excellent biographical sketch. See ante, p. 32.—Ed.] On St. Andrew's Day, 1864, near Boyd's Landing, in old Beaufort District, a desperate battle was fought and won by citizen soldiers of Georgia and South Carolina against enormous odds. Thirty-three years have passed since, many of the actors in the honor and glory of that November day have joined the majority, yet no effort has been made to record this great military achievement at Honey Hill—to garner up even some of
