The Story of the IO9th Pa. at Cedar Mount
ain Battle.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Many liv-
ing soldiers yet remember their first battle or
baptism of fire. and those that were wounded
or taken prisoners have experiences that are
indelibly impressed on their minds. l often
read of men getting scared almost to death
while under fire, and others knowing no fear;
but to say that was never afraid to go into
battle would be telling an untruth.
The battle of Cedar Mountain, Va, fought
Aug 9, 1862, was an exception. My age did
not allow me to know war for what it was
but l soon found out. My regiment hal
never seen an enemy to shoot at, but doubt
if there were men any braver or more will
ing to fight than the old "Curtin Light
Guard"
We were attached to the First Brigade,
Second Division, Banks's Corps, and lay at
Bolivar flights, Va, when we got orders to
move up the Shenandoah Valley, under Pope.

FARMER JAMES BARRETT
Writes About the Vicissitudes of the
 Southern Farmer.
Augusta, Ga., September 17.

Augusta, Ga., September 17. Editor Age-Herald, Birmingham, Ala.
 It is rathr amusing to read the various advice that the farmers are given daily by the (what thisO how to remedy their troubles-without showing the cause of agricultural depressiCk. Unless the cause is removed no remedy can be expect ed. I have long since ceased to believe in the laws of supply and demand, for God has created the great laws of equilibrium and that laws is capitalized by good and bad crops which are fitted to the wants of man kind according to the employment of la bor and the efficiency of the labor itself If the labor of the world were efficiently and properly employed the crops of the world would be abolished. What has caused this state of affairs; It has been the attempt of concentrated wealth to reduce the producer to serfdom by trying to over throw the laws of equilibrium in the con- traction of money, thereby creating greater purchasing power of money and reducing the productive powers of labor and by such reduction of the employment of labor we have no consumption of agrieul- 1ural products
 The inefriciency of labor and the drones n families are another trouble the cotton farmers has to contend with in the Black Bel of the south also the ignorance With which the negro cultivates the soil and the
 he is subjected to by that ignorance. It Is my deliberated opinion, based on tWen- ty-elaht years of close observation, that tbe curse of the south is the negro, and we can expect no improvement in material or financial advancement in the southern states until those evils are removed, and as proof 1 refer to the relative value or lands in Ohio and Georgia. In the former lands are worth on an average of about $50 per acre and in the latter $3 per acre. Georgia being the superior agr1culhufal sfate The negroes of Georgia wear out our lands while the white farmer Of Ohio improve theirs. So much has been said on contraction and expansion of currency which effects the entire country that dc not feel disposed to discuss 1t in full. But the contraction of money has reduced the employment of labor and the price of said labor to such an extent that they cannot supply their families with a sufficiency of the common necessities of life. The pur- chasing power of the dollars to buy labor .s SO much greater that the wages Of labor o purchase farm products is another cause of depression It is well known that the shutting of the hints in 1ro a against sil- yer was really the cause of the famines, for t reduced the purchasing power of labor to such an extent that lahor could not be employed, and the silver ornaments in the hands of the Hindoostan Tsayant could not be converted into money, for there was no lack of food but there was the want of consumption from bad Legislation lo over

throwing the equilibrium Of money. I have never gone wild over the idea of making home supplies to the sacrifice of making cotton, for if we should adopt such a policy we would make food crops in law that the people of the grain purching states would not have the means to consume the reduced production of cotton and we would be in about the same fix as we are now. As a proof of this proposition I refer to the past and present grain crop of Europe and other countries as effecting the price of wheat. Our remedy Is not in reducing the produc- ton of farm products, but to regulate the equilibrium and circulation of money de- stroy monopolies and regulate transporta- ton. And to do these things we must de- stroy taxes on bank circulation, increase the circulation of money to $50 per capita, wipe out the monopoly of gold and all other trusts and combines. Transportation of farm products should be done at the cost or carrying the produce. Taxes should be regulated simply to protect life, liberty and property, and would not be used to make the drones of society socialists and out laws; besides they should be levied accord ing to the means of the people to pay same. They should not be increased when proper ty and farm products are deprociating in value, either upon grounds of phy
 or socialism. The south need not look for prosperity as long the negro is amongst us, as he destroys the soil and makes the Anglo-Saxon lazy. The remedy is gradual eXportation with the above remedies sug gested, and not in reducing crops.

company's street, but with the number of men now ih camp the mess hall is used exclusively. There was positively an appe- tizing o dor that came from the big range, and the salty slices of meat and hot corn bread and the coffee had evidently been prepared by skilled hands. First. however came the soup. At least the ladies in our party judged that the soup was the first course, and there was apparently a suf- ficient quantity to serve a regiment. The menu also included boiled potatoes, stewed apples, beans and hot biscuits. The bis cults were considered great delicacy, and were enjoyed accordingly
 The mess hall was very popular for an hour or two while the men came strag- gling up later, as if they had been out playing tennis and had come in for some- thing refreshing. From out the white tents the extreme late-comers sauntered towards the mess hall. It was a scene that is of course, exactly reproduced anywhere where there is a soldiers camp, but yester- day 1t was more picturesque than usual
 Twilight came on and there was a soft, almost summer-like stiffness over every thing. The red coals in the range still glowed brightlS and the men sat together and speculated on an impossibly remote future, or at least of the past, which, of course, was interesting, for army men, over their pipes, generally prattle from the fer vor of their convictions.
 Such was an afternoon at Camp Falk- ner. The quietude of the valley, the rows of white tents. a guard here and there tramping the falling leaves with his steady tread. the golden rod blossoming on the hillsides, the freshness of the on-coming night, the pure air tht came across the mountains. It is this that was exchanged for that other tented city that shone through the summer blindingly white under a tropical sum-

What Borrowers and Investors Both Have to Say of the Alabama Home Build
 ing & Loan Association.

w. V. M. Robertson General Manager:
 Your check for $2026.16 received, being the 72-months accumulated withdrawal value of my stock in 'The Alabama Home" My re-joining your association and taking $5 900 new stock is, l think, the best endorsement that can give your cenpany.
 M A. MYATT. w. V. M. Robertson, General Manager:
 Your check for $S26.20 received, being the balance due me on my stock after re-paying my loan. 1 consider The Alabama Home Building and Loan Association a financial institution of great usefulness to the com munity.. The investor is encouraged to save, feeling sure that his savings WilFsbe returned with a fair profit The borrower is enabled to pay for home, the increasing value of his savings helping him very much to get out of debt. I endorse "The Ala bama Home" by rejoining the company.
 T. A. KLEBS M. D. w. V. M. Robertson, General Manager:
 Seventy-two months ago l was living in house for which I paid $10 month rent. I borrowed from your association $500. paid $11.50 per month in dues, interest and premium for seventy-two months. The withdrawal value of my stock, with ac- cumulated profits, then repaid my loan and returned me $61 60 which check I have just received I find that the total net cost to me has been $3.66 per month. ''The Ala bama Home" has been of great benefit and usefulness to me. The settlement gave me such satisfaction that I have rejoined the association. I would advise all parties needing home of their own to become a member of 'The Alabama Home.'
