Col. John G. Upton, Of the Oxford
Democrat, spent a short while here
Friday. He was accompanied by his
daughter who was going to South Caro-
lima to speLd the holidays. We found
our friend as genial and clever as he
always is and it was a pleasure to spend
the time with him during his all-:oo-
short stay in Henderson. Col. Upton
promised to come over and spend a day
with us before long when we will show
him Our town and industries, have him
form the acquaintance of more Of our
representative citizens and leading bus :
mess men and give him something to
write about when he goes back to his
sanctum. The manner in which his

vertsements shows that it is in pros

Macon Telegraph: The suit Of Mrs. Sal
lie Lee Shaw, wife of Tom Shaw, who win
be tried at Jeffersonvile Monday for
wrecking the Southern railway train at
Stone creek on Feb. g. was transferred
from the superior court of TwIggs coun-
ty to the United States court Friday, the
order of transfer being signed by Judge
c. c. Smith at the request OF the South
ern railway. The most interesting cir
cumstances connected with the transfer
Of the suit Is that Mrs. Shaw sues to re-
cover $4,000 damages for injuries receiv-
ed in the wreck at Stone creek and that
her husband is to be tried on Monday for
wreclSing the train on which she was a
passenger and which caused her injuries.
The case is thought to be without a par
allel especially as the railroad expects to
prove at Shaws trial Monday that his
object in wrecking the train was TO get
rid Of her and at the same time get dam
ages for her death The road also claims
to be able to establish the fact that Shaw
had already made arrangements to marry
another woman in anticipation of his
wifcs death. In her petition, Mrs. Shaw,
through her attorneys, alleges that she
boarded tho train at Macon at p m. on
Feb 20 of the present year for Reid's sta
ton That the train was delayed and was
making up time by running at a high rate
of speed when the accident occurred.
Through the negligence and carelessness
of the roads officers, agents and employees
she was permanently injured about the
hips and back her teeth knocked out and
that she sustained other painful and
harmful injuries. She further alleges
that the bridges and trestles over which
the train passed were rotten and unsafe.
The case will be heard when court con-
venes in its October session.

why THE DISCRIMINATION
Georgia Sea Island Cotton brings
More Money When shipped
Throu-b ,t7gortIo

More Money When Shipped
Through Florida.
Ealdosta, Ga, oct. 1.-THE farmers and
business men through this section of
Georgia are making big kick against
the continued discrimination against
Georgia sea island cotton. The fact that
this discrimination exists is no longer In
doubt, as there has been evidence of It
every day during this and last season. The
time has come when Georgia cotton must
be branded "Florida" in order to get its
true worth on the markets. Merchants
in a Georgia town may ship it to Florida
and reship it from there and get good
profits on 1t. 1t is not known where the
responsibility for the discrimina ton lies,
but the cotton growers in this section feel
that hard blow has been struck at their
principal product in the present state Of
affairs.
a paper printed forty miles from Val
dosta or Quitman says in its last issue:
Nearly every day numbers of wagons
from Georgia are on our streets loaded
with the feecy staple. Last Monday there
were twenty-five bales from one Georgia
plantation sold to a buyer of this place.
The seller stated that it paid him big
money to bring 1t here instead of carry
ing 1t to Quitman or Valdosta."
1t is said that one merchant in this city
has made big money by buying Georgia
cotton and shipping it to Florida and then
reshipplng to the markets. This happen
ed several years ago. but the incident
shows that there was prejudice against
the Georgia staple in favor of Florida cot
ton.
The farmers believe that their cotton
should be graded and sold upon it's mer-
its, regardless of whether it was raised In
Georgia or Florida. If It will bring 2 to
cents pound more from having to be
hauled twenty or thirty miles to Flor
ida town, why may 1t not bring as much
when shipped from a nearer town in Geor-
gia? Hundreds Of cases can be cited TO
show that discrimination exists and the
injustice is not only to the cotton growers,
but to the buyers and warehousemen in
Georgia, especially those in the sea island
belt

Historical Prophecies That Failed
From the st. James Gazette.


In these times of cheap vaticination and
short-dated prophecies 1t may not be
amiss to cast a retrospective glance on a
few of the most monumental mistakes
ever achieved in this line. Here are few
of these famous contributions to the his
tory of human error:
First Aristotle said that slavery would
last forever, or would cease only when the
shuttle would weave of it's own accord. A
double mistake this, for slavery is all but
abolished, and, thanks to invention, the
shuttle may be said to work of its own
accord.
Second. Before fifty years are over all
Europe will be republican or Cossacl,"
prophesied the exile of st. Helena in the
first decade Of this century. We are
nearly now its flag end, but 'old Yurrup"
is less republican than ever and is still
some way from universal Cossackery.
Third. ITALY is but a geographical ex-
preston and will never be anything else"

his death he saw what he considered Ito
pia on the point of becoming a reality
Fourth. The railways will never be Of

tious economists.
Fifth. There is no morrow for univer-

eve Of the very revolution which sent him
into exile and promulgated universal suf-
frage as sovereign law.

day found themselves famous.
A short time after that Rev. DR..
Clark, Massachusetts clergyman, was
making tour through the Army of the
Potomac. When he came to the Sixth
Wisconsin, he confided to the chaplain,
DR.. Hall, that he was much pleased
with the general appearance of the men
of that command. He found them
clean and orderly set, who drank and
gambled much less than the soldiers in
some of the other regiments.
81 think it must be due to the exam
pie of your colonel, brother, - remarked
DR.. Hall. 'tThey feel the force of his
beautiful Christian spirit, and they are
afraid of shocking him by the use OF
profane language. Of what denomina
ton is Colonel Bragg member"
The honest chaplain, recalling some
of the highly picturesque explosives
which his colonel was apt to use while
in action and the su1try anathemas which
the men of the Sixth directed at the
enemy along with their bullets, coughed
violently to smother laugh and stam-
mereds
"Well, really, Brother CLARK, don't

Tt was at South Mountain that the
command won its title of the Iron bril-
gade, but little affair at Gainesville,
which was one of the deadliest of the
minor battles of the war, had already
paved the way for the comforting Of this
honor. When the brigade went into the
fight there, the Second Wisconsin was
far in the lead. Before them was bat
terry planted on hill, and under cover
of it's muzzles were the strong forces Of
Ewell and Taliaferro. Without waiting
for the rest of the brigade to come up,
the Second, with hair raising shout,
dashed toward the advancing enemy.
The shock of the contact was terrific,
but the Wisconsin ranks stood still and
held the Confederates i'll check until the
rest of the regiment arrived.
Then the interest increased. The Con-
federates, with four brigades and four
batteries, out9umbered the western men
three to one, besides having the advan-
tase of position. For six hours the fight
ragged, and when darkness came the
Iron brigade had it's line Of battle just
where it had first been formed. It had
not given an inch When, two weeks
later, this same brigade did gallant work
at South Mountain, it was evident that
some other designation than a mere nu-
neral was needed, SO it was called the
Iron brigade. Never was title more
honorably won or more Loyalty sustain
ed.
It was dearly won glory. however, for
the Iron brigade left more of it's men on
the field, killed in action, than any 9th
er organization from the north or south
engaged in the war. Of the 4, 800 men
who originally composed the brigade it
is doubtful if 800 are alive today. More
than one-fifth Of the entire enrolment
died in the smoke of battle. OF the sur
vivors, a majority were crippled with
lead or weakened by disease and hard

ships. The Second Wisconsin infantry
headed the casualty column over all the
rest of both armies OF an enrolment
of 1908 men, 238 were killed and more
than 600 were wounded, SO that Of all
the force that went out with the Second
there were but 800 who went back home
unscathed. Out of every six Wisconsin

elbow was it that the Wisconsin regi-
ments lost SO heavily?" General Bragg
was once asked. "Were they looking for
trouble or were they sent where trouble
existed?'
Probably q little of both, replied
the general lone reason for it was
that we had practice of fighting along
side six gun battery. We invariably
did this in action, and the enemy natur-
ally bent his efforts to silencing the
guns. We got the incidental damage
from being there or thereabout. But,
said the general, with the emphasis of
pride, eve never lost gun or a har
ness. -
Another reason was that the Wis
consin regiments could always be relied
upon to furnish good account of
themselves. Much, if not all Of this,
was due to the training which they got
from General Gibbon. He was regular
army man when he took command, and
he made regulars of US. His discipline
was strict, but it was effective. F"
1t is interesting to note that the men
who made such good soldiers nearly all
succeeded in civil life after the war.
Most of the survivors of the Iron brigade
are prosperous farmers, merchants or
professional men now. Colonel Rufus
Dawes, who enlisted as private in the
Sixth and was mustered out a brevet
brigadier, settled at Marietta, O., and
has long congressional record. Jen-
kins, Baldwin and others became states
men and Colonel Fairchild was elected
governor of his state and commander in
chief of the @. A. r. General Bragg
has served several terms as congress-
man, and is at the present time one of
the most prominent men from the state
which gave the Iron brigade to the
Union. JOHN T. WmLoUGHBY.
