ROGER PRYOR RECALLS OLD DAYS Usperlenees of a Confederate Brlgav dler Reronstraeted la the North l.ewa In How to Grow Old firacefally. Roger Atkinson Fryor. one of the few re maining brigadier generals of the confed eracy and former Justice of the supreme court of New York state, was yesrs old July 19. He did not celebrate the event, re fusing to look upon an SO-year-old man as any sort of a person out of the ordinary, but instead he indulged In reminiscences of his long and varied life In chatting with a reported for the New Tork Times. Justice Pryor's home Is on West Sixty ninth street. New Tork City. His librsry window Juts out a good deal beyond the frontage of most of the houses along the street. It la shady In the afternoon, and Justice snd Mrs. Pryor sit a good deal there, among the Judge's books, with a canary bird near by chirping gently, grow ing gracefully old together. Mrs. Pryor, too, is a Virginian. She was IS and he 20 when they were married at Charlottesville, Va., on November 8, 1848. This November they will have been married sixty years. They are and have been, say their friends, always Inseparable, and that Is the greatest thing In Justice Pryor's ll(e. First Worked on m Newspaper. Justice Pryor was born on July 19, 182S. In Dinwiddle county, Virginia, the son of Rev. Theodorlck Bland Pryor, a stout Calvlnlstlo minister, who believed In the Bible from oover to cover, word by word, and literally. His frame was aa stout as his faith and from him Justice Pryor got his excellent physique. Toung Pryor was graduated from the University of Virginia and mar ried In the same year, 188. And then he went Into newspaper work. "Ah! that Is fascinating, and I know that I should still be in It and happy If It hadn't been for what was accidental," he went on. He was a Richmond editor and he went In for politics. He was a delegate to the Baltimore convention that nominated Franklin Pierce to the presidency and was appointed special minister to Greece by him. And then he went to congress, serving from 18M until the civil war. "And after the war I wanted to get right back In the newspaper business In Rtch- mand," he said, "but on account of the part I had taken In the war It was not wise for me to engage In editorial work down there." So. Justice Pryor came to New Tork with his family, his wife pawning her Jewelry to pay the traveling expenses. Benjamin Wood, publisher of The News, gave him an editorial place after a time, but that was done secretly, for It was not good business policy to have a former confeder ate general as editor even In the most broadmlnded city In the country. Conse quently the young man studied law. It waa the civil war that made war's changes the change In his life, and It Is about those times that Justice Pryor's memories are the most vivid. Coming out Of the United States congreas, he became a member of the provisional and the regu lar confederate congresses. He was for fighting, and he was the man who occas sloned the war as much as any single man could precipitate a catastrophe that had been approaching for two decades. Jefferson Davis did not want to attack Fort Sumter. On April 10, 1861, Mr. Pryor made a speech In Charlestown, S. C, which forced President Davis to order the Fort Sumter, attack. And when the Stars, and Stripes came down from that fort the, war was on. "Davis didn't want to fight." said Jus tice Pryor. fThere were a number of rea sons why that was nstursl. He had been educated at West Point, and It was ,hard to take up aisns against the United States army. He had many friends In the north. He had been secretary of wsr also. Ha stood a chance for the presidency of the entire country, and besides all that he had too much sense not to know that the odds were overwhelmingly against the south." Interpreting the surprise on the Inter viewer's face, the old confederate general and lawmaker went on. smiling a little: "Oh, It was a good thing, after all, that the union was saved. It was a good thing for republican government good for the north, good for the south. At this date I am glad that the result was what It was. "But the states had every right under the sun at that Urns to secede If they so desired, accordng to the organic law of the land. Since the war that haa been uni versally admitted. There Is not a law professor In any Institution, north or south, who does not admit that without hesitation. It wasn't a question of law; It waa a ques tion of self-preservation with the north, and they fought for that preservation." A Trlbatc to Sam Hoaston. Then Justice Pryor began to talk about Sam Houston of Texas, who wss In con gress at the same time he was. "A southerner himself, the child of southerners, lie still opposed secession and the war that wss surs to come," went on Justice Pryor. 'The Texas people subjected him to the bitterest criti cism for his stand on that question, and he the man who had done ao much to save Texas from Mexico, to mske It Into a republic and then Into part of the United States. He bore himself with splendid dignity throughout It all, and the sons of msny who bitterly criticised this Texas hero now acknowledge that he saw clearly even then what waa best for his people." Justice Pryor went Into the confederate army himself In the yesr 161 as a colonel. He was promoted to be a briga dier general the following ear. In 14 and 1S86 he was a prisoner of war. At the end of the war he had a ragged uniform, a sword, and a wlte. His first five years In New York were indeed FIXING rOFLTHE DAY Home Preparation That Is an Aid to Business Women.

His wife taught music for a little time, while ho wss trying to got editorial work and preparing himself for the law. He waa secretly the editor of The Newb, as has been said, and mean while was admitted to the bar. The only two survivors now of the thirty-sixth congress, which was sitting at the time of the secession of the south ern states, are Daniel K. Sickles and M. Pryor. They were great friends In the I'nlted States congress. One became a major general In ths northern army, the other a brigadier general in the southern army. They met again In New York after the war, and their friendship became closer than ever. Oeneral Sickles arranged a meeting b? tween Governor Hill and Jfttlce Pryor, w hen Mr. Hill offered the Virginian a Judge ship of the court of common pleat, say. Ing that he was doing It because Gtnerat Silkies had so requested him. After the end of his term he was elected to thu bench, and when the courts were consoll dated he became a supreme court Jjstlco, a place which he held for many years. Present Day Politics. JuHtlce Pryor Is democrnt, as his fsther was before him. He does not take an active part In politics now. though he keeps track of all that is going on In either party. He refused to let himself be druwn Into a discussion of the lvnver snd Chlrsgo platforms, but he had a word to say about the choice of the democrats. "Charles A. Culb;rSon of Texss was the man to nominate," he said, positively. "With him the democrats would have won certainly. He Is a thorough demo crat, a tried executive, a deep student of the law, and a man without a single taint to his reputation. leslde that, he la a southern man, and It la time the democrats gavs the south ' a nominee again." Referring to Bryan, Justice Pryor said thst he didn't believe a third canvass of fhe country by him would help his lectur ing business or his newspaper subscrip tion list. "I believe that there will be a revolu tion of feeling agalnat him that will Mu st roy his popularity as a lecturer ami the popularity of his paper if he Is de feated a third time," declared Justice Pryor. Being on the subject of presidents. Jus tice Pryor took occaalon to say that President Roosevelt was a broadmlnded patriot. He wss much pleased with the appointment of Qenersl Luke E. Wright of Tennessee to be secretary of wsr. He spoke about a southern woman, who once wrote to Mr. Roosevelt telling hint how surprised she was at a magaslne article of his praising eonfederste brsvery. Mr. Roosevelt answered, said Justice Pryor, thst ha was half southern himself and ull straight United States. Though Justice Pryor Is M yesrs olj today, he sits snd standa aa at might as a shingle.
