T*rm of Reproach.
Whenever i pick up a copy of the
Congressional Record and numerous
other publications and read the irrele

for the memory of Colonel Edward
Buncombe. "Glrard" writes in the Phil
adelphia Ledger.
Through no fault of the gallant pen
tleman himself, there clings to his name !
an unpleasant significance which many
of our brave public men do naught to
mitigate. Indeed, if there be such a
thing as one shade's taking vengeance
upon another in the future world Colo
uel Buncvmbe will at least pull out
Felix Walker's tongue.
It was all Walker's fault that "bun |
combe" t«eeame a term of reproach, j
and the incident which made It no bap ;
pened a century agu.
Walker represented In congress a dis
ttlct of North Carolina of which Bun
combe county was a part. The county
had been named away back In 1T«1 in
honor of Colonel Buncombe.
Walker was one oi those long dto

That no wife can know how she up
