the health of the gentlemen of the
National Compress Company, its
officers and employees, and ^he
success of the Clarksville plant
were drank in several liberal glass-
es of champagne. Mrs. N. D.
Trilling Very kindly contributed
two excellent and elegant cakes to
the occasion, and her culinary skill
was unanimously complimented by
the host and his gouts. . After the
wine and the cakes, cigars were
banded roqnd andfrom the cheer-
ful clink of the glasses, the purple
clouds from the Havanas and the'
hearts of his guests there came a
sincere wish for the continued hap-
piness and prosperity of Mr. Catu-
na End his great company.
Perhaps a few words relative to
this great press and the company
that erected it may be of interest
to our readers. The National Com-
press Company is a concern of
splendid proportions, the McFad-
dens of Philadelphia being princi-
pal stockholders. The McFaddene
are - cotton men ‘of world-wide
reputation apd unlimited capital.
They now own and operate twelve
compresses, they are among the
•heaviest buyers on the continent
and are, altogether, one of. the
-,v. .-Id’s big firms. They load.their
..Atop on their own ocean vessels
and carry their own cargoes, and
their eales are nearly one-fifth of
Liverpool’s receipts.
In the latter part of last spring
some of the members of this firm
passed through Clarksville in their
private car. They liked the looks
of the town and surrounding coun-
try, inquired into ite cotton re-
ceipts and made a note of all. the
important particulars. Later a rep-
resentative of the company came
and went over the ground careful-
ly, reported favorably, and imme-
diately the compress was resolved
on. Agents of the company came
andclosed deals for' the necessary
grounds. Construction men were
sent in and* a dam was begun In the
creek weet of the depot. Material
was contracted for, and all necessa-
ry preliminaries arranged. The
work was pushed quietly without
ostentation or blowing of trumpets.
No bonus was solicited or suggest-
ed, no bonds were sold, no bun-
combe indulged in. It was purely
a business enterprise and was gone
about in a business-like way. They
always paid cash and did i not hag-
gle over infiniteemial accounts.
Work was rgpidly pushed in the
burinees-like manner that has
characterised them until now, when
the oomptefi stands completed, a
monument to the enterprise of cap-
ital and an institution of which
the town is justly proud.
The press is a 95-inch Morse,
and is one of the four largest in the
state. It was manufactur-
ed by the Reading Iron Works of
Reading, Pa.,'and a*single piece of
the press weighs 54,000* pounds,
•which is a fair index to the sub-
stantial character and durability of
the immense machine. One of these
presses, located at Charlotte, N. C.,
haa a record of 936 bales in five
affair, now seemti to be a- really se
rioud ooe. Spain begins to think
an army of 100,000 necessary to
quell the rebellion. Cuba is only
a small territory to contend with
tbe forces of Spain, but a people
determined to-be free cannot be re-'
duced to subjection in a day. In

a great feat to penetrate the earth
one mile, but it is - really less in
proportion to the size of the globe
than penetrating an apple with a
pin barely through the i
must go about 8000 ti
hours. The press is capable of ex-
erting a preeeure of 6,000,000
pounds on the bale, whioh can be
better appreciated from the fact that
128 bales compressed by it have
been loaded in an ordinary box car.
Mr. F. A. Savile, of New Or-
leans, is the patentee and proprie-
tor of tbe right and the press here
was erected under his supervision.
There will be 97 Morse presses in
operation thie year, which is an ev-
idence of their greatness.

But however valuable his milita-

influence in the nation’e councils,
it wae his charaoter thatnjade that
service possible, and stamped it
with its most enduring features.

though he was both in tW most ex-
alted dgree—but Maxey, our friend
and fellow-citizen.
Standing as we do to-day under
the first shock aud paralysis of our
loss, and bewildered as wis are .by
the sad thought of his death, it
were impossible to do justice to his
qualities. Yet ap his pastor, and
personal, nay, Ids intimhtefriend
for years, I tog to speak" of a few
prominent factors which impressed
me. ! 7 • j
Two civilizations have been nu-
tured within our national domain.
For many years they grew apart,
each upon its own oongenia! soil,
and taking shape each by virtue of
its own environment. As long as
these two elements remained apart
tbe nation was at peace, because it
did not realize the irreconcilable
antagonism between its two unborn
offsprings, whose strength waa
gaining every day and struggling
to; be free. One of these was pUri-
tanism, the product of a conscience
nutured in the gloom of English
fogs and chilled by the blasts of
northern winters, stolid and an-
as the-stiffs which
stay the tides of an arCBc sea, and
as resistless in iu ck~h,0 energy
as the ice floes which lo^ the har-
bors of New Englandl's-Soast. With
IU genius for discovery, iu snirit
of adventure and iU disregard for
the most sacred traditions, it disa-
vows the most solemn sanctions of
tbe past, with a facility which

Give him a chance to prove what he says.
iU instinct for hoepiUlity, its charm
oflegend, romance and tradition,
iU opposition to revolution, iU
veneration for the past, iU pride of
blood and extraction, all these
made up the elements of ■ a social
structure as different from puriUn-
ism as anything could be. ' It is
unnecessary to say to which of
these belonged Gen. Maxey. Pride
of blood, respect for law, exalted
sense ofjpersbnal honor, attachment
to his home and people, he was in-
tensely^ identified with the genius,
the history, the problems and des-
tiny of the south. If puritanism
crysUllized in grotesque forms
about the idea of conscience, the
genius of the cavalieyfa was individ-
ualism. If Cotton Mather was the
incarnation of New England, Thom-
as Jefferson was the prophet of .the
south. This distinction was fundr
amenta! to any rational analysis of
Gen. Maxey’s character. No one
could comprehend him in tbe broad
sweep of his mind and ai the same
time in the intensity of his local
atUchmenU who fails to take that
fact into the account. The man
who was fortunate enough to enjoy
the posession of his confidence
would soon discover that thojugh
Gen. Maxey was the product of bis
inheriUnce, he was also the master
of his generation. His love and
mastery of books was extraordina-
ry; his devotion to study was re-
lentless. No! was it an evanescent
application for the purpose of kill-
ing time. Probably no student
west of the Mississippi river was
more deeply versed jn, French ro-
mance, criticism and drama, and
few are the studenU in America
who knew the history of tbe Anglo-
Saxon race better than he. Besides
this, he had waded through the
whole range of English literature
and in his later years had settled
down upon his lovee and reveled in
the companionship of his favor-
ites.
If literature was bis pursuit, con-
stitutional philosophy and interna-
tional law were his passion. Dur-
ing his last illness, alter the physi-
cians had peremptorily forbidden
to him the sweet consolation of
hard study, he honored me with
the task of watching and tracing
for him the problems involved in
the diplomatic complications grow-
out of Russia’s interference in tbe
negotiations tbeu pending between
Japan and China for a termination
of hostilities. The discussions awa-
kened by the unfolding of Rusal’s
plot oan never to forgotten as loing
as I live. '.!,
Yet he was not a scholarly re-
clufce, a pedant or a book worm.
His extraordinary knowledge,
which overflowed in his conversa-
tions, was always kindled into vi-
tality by the genial humor of the
man. His derived information was
transmuted by his individuality,
and became the living product of
his brain. Facts were hia counters,
truth his coin.
Few are the men whp had so
w6ll cultivated a memory as he. It
was remarked by all who knew* him
that tbe moet trivial incident, or
the most complicated list of dates,
or table of numbers, was at bis com-
plete command. The leaBt lapse
disquieted them. About three years
ago he came to me in a state of
mental distress, Which pictured it-
self upon his whole demeanor, be-
cause he had forgotten the classic
term given to a victory' amounting
to defeat. Never shall I forget the
flash of satisfaction that shot ath
wart his face 4t the mention of the
proper word. .
His convictions were strong, be-
cause his thoughts were clear. He
was not content with a cUreory
view of anything. He did not de-
cide a question till he had ihougbt'
all around it. Cautious aB }ie was
patient, deliberate as he was pro-
found, it was only after tbe equa-
uon I,ad bom logically .dyed that
he preaamol to announce a decis-
ion. His opponents sometimes
.thought him imperious, and they
thought correctly. But It waa n*
the imperiousness of prejudice, but
of demonstrated truth. If at such
time he was assailed by opposition-,
woe to the nnluoky wight who en-
tered the lieu without full .armor
aud a steady nerve. He itae natu-
rally of strong passions, intense
temperament and stubborn will.
Yet how completely had he master-
ed himself! A man of perfect noise,
completely self-posessed, evert pas-
sion under control of hw will, hie
was the serenity of the stoic, the
submissiveness of achild, the gen-
tleness of the cnrlstian.
His sense of honor did ,mt stop
withjprideof hieown dignity, hut
overflowed in deeds oi fidelity to
his friends and works of loTe to the
helpless and needy, which are
only known by the recording an-
eels. His hatred of shams was
second only to his devotion to tbe
truth. Nothing was finer than his
instinctive scorn of that bombastic
style of so-called oratory which
seekB to conceal a shabby paucity
of thought behind a tawdry and
vulgar verbosity. To aay what, h.
had m his heart to say.wnd to say
it directly with,as few words as the
sense demands, was his idea! of or-
atory. In the eyes of that uncul
tiyated taste which seeks the wed-
tricious embellishment of rhetori-
cal figure, the Doric simplicity of
Gen. Maxey’b style was sometimes
disappointing. But if directness,
lucidity and honesty count for any-
thing, Gen. Maxey was an orator
of the first quality. In style of
public address, as in many peison-
al characteristics, Gen. Maxey very
much resembled Abraham Lincoln,
with whose simple grandeur and
modest strength he heartily sym-
pathized, and whoee matchless
speech at Gettysburg he often quot-
ed. Conscientiousness, thorough-
ness and strength shone forth in
both, and. both relied on the cause
they represented, rather ttiau uu
Machiavellian diplomacy for victo
tory in the oonfiict of life. They
each scorned any other weapon than
tbe right as God gave bin1 to 888
the right “with malice toward none
and charity for all.”
Over all this .richness of mind
and heart was poured the unspeak-
able treasure of the love of God
through Jesus Christ our Lord. I
speak that I do know- when I say
that to him, Jtesus Christ was alpb^
and omega, the beginning and the
end. The Bible was God's message US
the world ahd Jesus was the savior
of mankind. Religion was to him,
not an accident nor an accessory,
but it was the very life, the reel
character of those who were- the
children of God- He did not be-
lieve very muoh in a religion one
can "get,” nor did he believe in a
religion that can be put on to-day
and put off to-morrow. Bat he did
believe in a religion that is engrain-
ed into the fibers of our being and
transmutes the base metal of. our
human nature into the nature of
God. Faithful to his church, as in
every*other relation of life, rejoic-
ing iu her proeoeritr. constant in'
his attendance upon all her services,
an interested listener, a ready par-
ticipator in her sacrifices and toils,
to know him was a liberal education,
.and to be his friend a reward be-
yond all price. I shall always thank
God that providence granted me
the exalted . privilege of being hia
pastor, And tbe honor of being his
confidential friend, and my only
regril shall ever be that J djd pot
know him forty Fears . instead of
four. ~ •
