Montgomery, Ala, August 3.-Re-
turns from the State elections are just
beginning to come and it is impossible
now to give any figures. The reports so
far show Democratic gains and bear out
the claims of the State committee Of
Johnston's election by a much larger
majority than Oates received two years
ago. The Populists do not yet give up
and claim that Goodwin will carry the
State by 10000.
Montgomery, Ala. August By a
careful estimate q; 10 p. m. from re-

fair pages glow with truth that will

Besides apples you can get anything

Grains of all kinds grow here; wheat

good roller mills in our little town,
both steam rollers. One lately erected
by F. W. Dove formerly of Doves

Thousands of bushels of grain and

There are four church houses here in

Good Roads.

There is no improvement more con-

of time in transit, and the wear and

First Sensations in Battle.

What are the first sensations of the
battlefield? lola, Tolstoi and Stephen
Crane have imagined them, and COM
batants have written them. Some
thing whizzed past me like big blue
bottle on the wing" says Lieut.. Her
bert" of Plevna fame, land the current
of air caused by its rapid passage
touched my ear. Another-another.
All at once realized that these were
the enemy's bullets. and, horrible dictu,
the discovery brought on sudden, vio-
lent attack of cholera-like disposition"
The passage may be compared with
Zola's description. "The now constant
kissing of the bullets, with their sharp
ping or buzz whispering around, and
sometimes into us, gave me sicken-
ing feeling and a cold perspiration. /
felt weak around my knees, sort of
taintness and lack of strength in the
aoints Of my legs. as If they would sink

not decrease when several of my COM
rades were hit" says Mr.. Lee Goss, a
former private in the Army of the Po-
tomac. No one quite knows how he
VIII behave. mo mani am quoting
Wllkeson's stirring narrative-"really
enjoys battle. One has to string up
MS nerves and take firm grip on him
self morally, and hold himself in the
oattle-fames for few moments until
warmed to passion. The impulse is to
run out of danger"
II the raw soldier is there and then
led forward against the enemy, the trial
to his nerves will be less severe than
II he has to wait under a heavy shell
and shrapnel fire to which he can make
no reply. In the one case he wilFonly
have his danger to think about. This
was, perhaps, the reason why, in the
war of 1901, the German soldiers
rushed impatiently against the French
positions. "The beat of the drum went
before the thunder of our guns, and cur
power was shattered by the fire Of the
foes mistaken infantry" He was
anxious to end the period of tension,
and to come to hand-grips with his
enemy. But he paid, and paid very
dearly, for his Notwithstanding

Rlsmarck ON War.

In his old age, Bismarck has come to
a realizing sense of the horrors of war.
He thinks that war may be begun only
when the honor of country absolutely
requires it. Onward quotes the prince
as saying:
IF the ministers of foreign affairs
had always accompanied their sover-
eigns, or the commander n-chief, dur
ing the campaign, history would GER
tainly contain fewer records of war.
On the battlefield, and, which is worse,
in the field hospitals, have seen the
flower of our youth succumb to their
wounds and to disease. Even now see
many a cripple look up at my window.
evidently thinking: 'If it were not for
the man up there, who made the war,
1 would be well and strong at home"
Such "reminiscences and such sights
would rob me of my peace, If 1 had to
accuse myself of having made war
lightly and only to gain name.
I will never advise his majesty the
king to go to war unless the interests
of the country absolutely demand st."

Andrew Jackson was an extreme
man. He hated his enemies, and he
hated the enemies of his country. He
loved his friends, and he loved all of
his old soldiers. He would defend
them, even when they were wrong.
That is to say, he would protect them,
and make all charitable allowances for
them. 1t was the intensity of his radical
nature which led him to say that a
gallant soldier on the battlefield earned
the right to get drunk. Very few would
agree with him in this day and age,
when the temperance sentiment Is
overspreading the land
In those days pensions were not lib
orally bestowed. and the old soldiers,
in times Of peace, were kept on the
pay roll and cared for as though on
actual duty. Nowadays things are diff
ferent. Disabled soldiers receive PEN
sions, and old soldiers who are unable
to care for themselves are given food,
shelter and raiment in the soldiers
home. The deserving officers of the
regular army are placed on the retired
list, and have ample incomes from the
government to support them.

War and Com merce.

War with France opened in 1898 and
was protracted, with the exception of
the short break due to the peace of
Amiens, for twenty-five years, says the
Nineteenth Century. We started with
1903 ships, of $4,000 tons, manned
by $4,000 men and with navy of 141
ships of the line, 1876 frigates and 129
small vessels. We had to deal with a
thoroughly inefficient enemy, disorgan-
lied by revolution and distracted by
intestine quarrels. From the first hour
of war our military superiority was I'M
challenged. The declaration of war,
however, caused a very serious contrac-
ton of trade. There were many fail
ures and a temporary loan of $4,000, 900
was necessary to avert panic. This
measure had most salutary effect and
only 1856, 900 was applied for.
Early in the struggle the attack upon
our commerce began. Ships of war and
privateers of all sorts fell upon it.
Rowboats put off to merchantmen lying
becalmed in the channel, or under the
Forelands, and carried them by board
ing. Surcouf in the East Indies swept
into his net not only helpless sailing
ships but also large and heavily arm
Ored Indiamen. In 1905 the Rochefort
squadron got to sea and took in five
months four warships and forty-two
merchantmen. I'm 1870" says the
Naval Chronicle, quoted by Capt. Ma
han, Signals were out almost daily at
Dover on account of the enemy's priva-
teers appearing in sight" In 1900, the
same authority tells us, there were
eighty-seven large French privateers
in the channel ports of France alone
From first to last the French captured
II ZOO ships, with their cargoes, worth
f2OO,OOO,OOO, a toll of 21a per cent at the
very least on our trade.
At first sight this loss does not look
particularly heavy and it certainly had
no effect upon the issue of the war. 1t
was only so much property destroyed
that might, if spared, have added to
our wealth. We annihilated French
trade so that Napoleon could not even
send cookie boat to sea, as he him
self confessed, and we captured no less
than 1,031 privateers, carrying 9,400
guns, manned by $4,000 men. Thus
we lost an average of $50
ships year and took less
than f1fty-five year of the depreda-
tors. Neutrals, it will be observed,
lost by peace and gained by war. From
1890 to 1893 the average clearance of
neutral shipping was under 100000
