Fifth Texas on the right of the brigade was
commanded by the gallant Captain Turner,
and as rode in his direction, noticed that
an enlisted man, whose name learned was
Monroe, was engaging him in earnest con-
verSation.
Before I came up, Monroe had left the
Captain and was running like deer in the
direction OF the enemy, who were quick to
fire on any moving thing. Captain, what
does this mean?' asked, as I looked after
the flying figure.
Pointing to the trampled corn field in which
so many men, friends and foes lay, the Cap
tain said: Monroe, one of my men, sew flag
rising and falling bit ago, over near that
that burned stump, and he asked for leave to
go out and get it,
"Has your regiment lost it's fiag?" I asked.
NO." he replied with pride, whats left of
the colors of the Fifth Texas, is still in our
possession and We'll keep it while there's
man to carry it, and he pointed down the
line to where a lot of blood-stained tatters
tapped about bullet SCARED staff.
cit must be a Yankee flag said, stand if
so, hardly think it prudent to risk man on
such venture
Captain Turner made no reply, but mean
while my attention was drawn to Monroe, for
was now intensely interested in the outcome
of this adventure.
He reached the black stump about two
hundred yards away and dropped so suddenly
that at first we thought he was shot. Soon to
our great relief Monroe rose to his knees
We saw him lifting a man on his back and that
the man chung to a flag.
Monroe Strengthened up, took quick glance
about him, and then started for our lines He
was young athletic fellow, but he had no
child's burden. Men were falling back in the
line, and how he escaped is one of those Won
ders that can never be explained, though he
was slightly wounded in the shoulder.
He brought back with him not Yankee
and his colors, but the color bearer and flag
of the Fourth Texas, lost in our retreat
Every man in the brigade saw this exploit
and greeted it with a ringing cheer. The
cplors were saved, and I may add the color
bearer got well. Had it not been for Monroe
the flag would have fallen into the hands of
the enemy, and SO I cannot count his act as
sheer rashness. W. S. WoFFoRD-

was checked and, they were compelled to fall
back beyond Longstreet's range. In the
meantime he sent for ex-senator Robert
Toombs' brigade, gunners were supplied and
well supported by Confederate infantrymen.
I believe this was the only instance during
the war where corps commander with his
own hands actually managed the loading and
training of artillery, sighted the cannons and
jerked the lanyard.

From an investigation of John Y McKane's
accounts, which some of the people of Graves
end had the courage to undertake since the
boss went to Sing Sing, it would seem that he
and his associates should have been in the

town out of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
And now even his Sunday school begins to

to be on the sabbath.

FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL.

To the Voters Ninth Judicial Circuit of Ten
nessee.
Being confined to the Court House all the
while is why write to you, and do not come
in person to see you, to announce | am a
candidate for reelection to the Office of At
torney General.
1t has been the custom of the country to
give man second term if he performed
his duty well the first term, and made a good
officer; and besides, an officer who has had
the Office one term is better qualified to per-
form its duties than any new man-the best
service for the country is what the people de-
manipulating my claims on these and other
considerations, earnestly request your valu-
able support, and will ever remember your
kindness in this respect.
Attention to my daily duties at the Court
must plead my fitness and faithfulness to the
office more than leaving the Office to cleo
tioneer for my reelection.
A convention or primary will be held to
send delegates to judicial convention. My
claims are subject to the action Of the Demo-
cratic party, and if elected will, as heretofore,
perform my duties promptly, and with kind
ness to all.
Hoping for the endorsement of yourself
and friends, am, Yours Truly,

GEN. COIEY.

While it is true that we, the
people of this section, are not
experiencing any Inconvenience
from the movements of Coxey and
his followers, the same cannot be
said of the people living on the
immediate routes travelled by
these people.
At first the COXey move was
treated in the light of a joke, but
the number of his followers IN
creased SO rapidly, and came from
so many different sections of the

country, that the subject took
more serious turn.
Coxey's followers were collect
ed from the unemployed of the
North and Northwest. Some one
has estimated that there are four
millions of unemployed able
bodied men in the United States.
Why are so many now in want of
employment We answer this
question by saying, every article
that is manufactured or grown
from the soil is overproduced.
What is the remedy! Give the
idle employment. Private citizens
or corporations cannot be expect
ed to put their money in channels
of business now already overdone;
and since that is a fact it would
seem that to the national govern
ment alone can the unemployed
look for employment.
What should the Government
do to give employment to it's idle
nonulatiOnq Build canals and
open up the waterways of the
country first. When all that
class of work is done build rail
roads to develop the sections re-
mote from the waterways. Fol
low that with the building of good
highways. And when there is
nothing else to do convert our
forests into beautiful parks. How
shall we pay for this labor, you
say7 Tax the wealth of our land.
The Ptolomies ruled people
occupying the finest agricultural
section of the world. 1t was not
necessary to keep all their sub
jects on the farms and the surplus
labor was used in building pyra
mids. Some of the eastern coun
tries have used their idle popula
to shed the blood of their neigh
bors. They now support a standing
army as much to keep their idle
; employed as for any other reason
We are too far advanced in thu
scale of civilization to adopt any
means, except that which would
be for the upbuilding and genera
: welfare of all our people. Since
we will not maintain unnecessary
armies the only thing left for III
to do is to improve our numerous
resources.
If something is not done to giv'
t the idle employment, and tina
: soon, something more serious ma.
