Emanuel Handy, an Atchison colored man, remembers Jeff. Davis, and says Davis was one of the best men he ever knew in the south. Handy says when he was a boy he used to black Davis' boots. Handy remembers that after the war Davis was the first white man in the south to sell land to a negro. He says Davis sold one of his farms to a colored man who had been among Davis' slaves. Handy says what Jeff. Davis did was done as a representative of the southern people, and that personally he was a man with the best impulses.
