Excerpt from The Spirit of the South The reader may be interested to know if the writer has done anything but write verses and little stories of the South for the magazines. He is a descendant of that Revolutionary soldier, Lieutenant Jenathan Harney, who fought at Bunker Hill and Long Island; the son of John H. Harney, college president, editor of the first algebra published by an American, and for twenty-five years editor and publisher of the Louisville, Ky., Democrat, the leading journal of the party in the Southwest. Young Harney, the writer, began active life as a public school teacher in Louisville. In a service of five years his advanced classes induced the board of trustees to establish a high school, and in recognition of his services, Mr. Harney was made principal. After two successful sessions, the singular political insanity, Know-Nothingism, swept the city and elected a new board of trustees, who supplanted Mr. Harney by a successor who knew little enough to satisfy the principles of his party. As soon as the trustees of the Kentucky State University knew of Mr. Harney´s release, he was appointed to a professorship in the Normal Department of Transylvania, at Lexington, Ky., which was held until the withdrawal of the State´s endowment. As a graduate of the Louisville Law School, Mr. Harney returned to practice law in Louisville, but was soon after called as assistant editor to his father on the Louisville Democrat.
