Nowhere is the feud so common so old,
so persistent, so deadly, as in the Ken
lucky mountains. Nowhere else is there
such organization, such division of enmity
to the limit of kinship About thirty
five years ago two boys were playing
marbles in the road along the Cumber-
land river-down in the Kentucky noun
tains. One had a patch on his trousers.
The other boy made fun of it, and the
Toy with the patch went home and told
his father. Thirty years of local war
the result. The factions fought on after
they had forgotten why they had fought
at all.-[Scrbner' Magazine.

1.-THE BIVoUAc OF THE DEAD"
Tribute to Confederate officer, Who
Wrote Inscription over National
Cemetery in WASHINGTON.

John A. Buckner sends the following
to the Banner Democrat of Lake Provi-
dence, La, concerning the poem. 1.-THE
Bivouac of the Dead" and its author
Having lately seen a beautiful tribute to
Theodore O'Iara, author of the immor-
tai poem, "The Bvouac of the Dead"
and as O'Hara was my personal friend
and assistant in the adjutant-general'
Office of the Kentucky division, COM
manded by Maj-Gen. Breckenridge l
take pleasure in sending you an extract
from the article, with the full poem,
which | have long carried in my note
book:
1t is worthy of record that this son of
the South produced the one perfect and
universal martial eulogy that the world
has known, and that the South has been
absolutely unmindful of this fact. The
first of these statements is proven by the
fact that without any advertisement or
exploitatons the wonderful words have,
in the 50 years since they were written,
permeated the whole world and been laid
hold on by Engllsh-speaking people
everywhere to celebrate their honored
dead who passed away in battle. Upon
Crimean battle fields the resting place
of English heroes is marked by a great
monument, on which shine O'IIaras
matchless words, and yet England did
not know from whom she borrowed when
she wrote them:-
| on fames eternal campiug-ground
Their silent tents are spread
| And glory guards, with solemn round,
The bivOuac of the dead.
Perhaps the anonymous character of
the poem was a blessing, since it is
doubtful if the federal government of the
| United States would have used the INES
! i'm such lavish fashion in immortalizing
| the dead of the Union army had they
| been recognized as the product of the
| genius of a soldier and officer of the
other side. In any case, they did not
! know, and every national cemetery in
| America has gained thereby. since they
| are not only the most appropriate but the
| only appropriate lines for such purpose.
| over the gateway of the national ceme-
terry at Washington the famous first
stanza is engraved, and there, as at An
tietam and other national cemeteries, the
entire poem is reproduced, stanza by
stanza, on slabs placed along the drive
! way.
OIIara lies in the burying ground at

What the South Wants.
Albany August

Albany August
Prefacing it's remarks by saying
that Southern nominee for Presi-
dent would be unable to win, the
Nashville American continues =
"We should like to be able to give
a genuine Southern yell in behalf of
real oldfashioned, hand-spun,
double-twisted democratic nominee
for President without the faint of
lunacy or the suggestion of populis-
tic foolishness in his makeup. But
It's no use. We've got to wait"
Why no use? Surely the Nash
sille American does not intend to
say that the "real old-fashioned,
hand-spun, double-twisted demo
crat" is indigenous solely to the
South We grow that kind in New
York. They grow them in Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, and all over this
glorious Union of ours. Unless all
signs fail, our Nashville contempt
rary has not long to wait-less than
three years before it can shout for

and what difference does it make
what section he may hail from?
Democracy is national, not Sec
tional. Democracy is eternal, and
worthy sons are reared in her name
in every state where there is a dem
ocratic party worthy of the name.
Even in Vermont, or even in ST.
Lawrence County, there are demo
Gratis whose shoe-latchet some who
call themselves democrats are I'M
worthy to stoop and loose. Demo
crazy is not matter of environment.
1t is a matter of conviction, of prin-
ciple, of devoti N to the party Of
the people. 1t is often strongest,
purest and best where the condi-
tons of it's existence are hardest and
most difficult to surmount. 1t is
easy to be a democrat in the South,
and so, we hope, it may continue to
be. But to be a democrat where
there is large, aggressive and in
tolerant majority of the other way
of thinking, where it means injury
to ones business and ostracism So
cially, perhaps-down on your
knees and off with your hats to such
democracy as that, for it puts to the
blush the Ii lighter convictions Of men
to whom democracy comes easier.
What the South wants is what we
all want-a platform vigorously sta
tino essential democratic truth the
right kind of candidate, no matter
where he comes from, and chance
| to win.

Serious Situation.

The cotton tie situation on this
market has grown to be a very Sc
rious one-the most serious, in fact,
of any problem with which the local
jobbers are face to face.
AS was announced in the Scimitar
some two or three weeks ago, the
Sheet Steel Company, one of the
constituent companies of the United
States Steel Corporation, withdrew
prices on ties for August delivery
on account of strikes ordered by the
Amalgamated Association of Iron,
Tin and Steel workers, which cut
off the source of supply for dealers
at this point, who had not protected
themselves by contracts made earlier
in the season. Many of the dealers
here had bought a large portion of
their needs and sold to the trade in
this territory with the unders' and
ing that the Sheet Steel Company
would deliver all ties bought in &C
cordance with the specifications of
the contract, which called for Au-
gust delivery.
But August has come and there is
now but little prospect of the deal
ers getting what they have con-
tracted for, since the failure of the
conference between the United
States Steel officials and those of
the Amalgamated Association to
reach an agreement last Satul day
means that the strike will be pro-
longed indefinitely, thereby prohib-
iting the company from delivering
the goods or protecting them by
their strike clause in case they do
not care to deliver them.
The most serious phase of the
matter is that the trade here have
sold about 60 per cent. more than
they have received on contract, and
should the Steel Hoop Company
fail to deliver the goods contracted
for, the jobbers will be placed IN a
position that is by no means envia-
BILE.
| According to the estimate of one
of the large iobbers this morning,
there are not moro than 25 per cent.
of the ties in this market needed in
this territory this year, and the
prospects are most gloomy for OBJ
tanning those that will be wanted.
The Steel Hoop Company is still
quoting out prices, but there is no
delivery time specified, the company
simply stating that they will deliver
them when they can. This is a most
indefinite expression, and does not
assure the jobbers in this city that
their contracts will be filled before
the next crop is gathered and sold.
On account of the withdrawal OF
prices on the part of manufacturers
the trade at this point have also
Withdrawn quotations, and the trade
in this territory may govern them
selves accordingly. 1t is more a
question of being able to fill out
standing orders now than it is Of
accepting new business in the pres
ent indefinite state of affairs. -

Our Supply of Horses for S, Africa

AS the South African war has adj
vanced to it's later stages, the infan-
try regiments have become compar-
atively useless, and the demand for
well-mounted troopers has become
imperative. OF the English soldiers
now in South Africa probably rs, :
900 out of 200, 900 are operating on
horseback. This African campaign
ing is so hard upon the animals,
whether used for mounting troops
or for transporting supplies, that it
has been Edifficult to supply fresh
horses and mules fast enough. The
principal recruiting field has been
the south western part of the United
States, and the chief point of ship
ment has been New Orleans. 1t was
reported last month that the United
States had already supplied the
British army in South Africa with
100, 900 horses and mules, and that
an additional $4,000 would now
have to be purchased. The price
has steadily advanced and England's
purchasing agents find the supply
scarcely equal to the demand.

Profit in Raising the Maine.

Much was told about the battle
ship Maine yesterday by Mr.. N. F.
Chamberlain, of the firm that has
the contract for raising the sunken
war vessel. Mr.. Chamberlain ar
rived here from Havana Tuesday
on the steamship Moro Castle.
The Maine, Mr.. Chamberlain said,
undoubtedly was Blown up by the
Spaniards. He furnished facts to
bear out his assertion.
Tie work of raising the Maine,
he said, would be profitable, as there
is now on board the ship ammuni-
ton that cost $500, 600, of which
90 per cent. is in good condition
Another item is in the furnishing of

the government was 100000.

her, so that her shadow fell almost
directly on the Maine. There was
only a space Of thirty feet between
the two vessels in which there was
light. After the Alfonso had aD-

to explode it against the Maine.

LORENZO BELLIES RIDE.
A TRUE STORY OF TENNESSEE.

This story was written for the
Nashville American by little Miss
Pattie Wade Mclean, of Hunts
vile, Ala, and describes an incident
that occurred during the civil war.
The ride was taken by one of i en-
nessee's most beautiful women, Miss
Antoinette Polk. There are sweet
memories that will come to the
mind of many an old Confederate
after reading it,
The blue coats are coming came the word one
And brought terror to the hearts of tie lovers of
gray.
Lorena Belle heard it, and it struck to her heart
fear, such seemed words could scarcely impart
Not for herself did Lorena Belle fear,
But she had lover, so loyal and dear
And he on the mountain, was hiding there near.
Oh! what if they found him, and he weak and ill
Unable to fight with wound scarcely healed,
Ere he'd surrender he'd die, she knew very well,
For each Southern boy viewed Northern prison
hell;
time,
For hundred yards off came the dreaded blue
line.
She ran to the stable AM saddled her hOrse-her
horse
Which claimed the best blood the Southland could
sboast,
You've never felt touch of whip or of rein
But to-day you must feel them, nor feel them in
vain;
And she whispered half fearful, as she sprang to
her seat:
For Lis life" os! my beauty, gain first yondel
gate.
She struck him one blow, twas the first but moi
last,
And adown the green lawn, like an arrow she
passed.
The men saw her coming, doubled quick for the
gate
Like a meteor she passed them, they were two
yards too late.
And then happened the scene that proved there
that day
That heart beats as warm meath the blue as the
gray:
Fire!" shouted the Captain, and then added low
.'Only to scare her, boys, you know"
The guns spoke out with an omnibus roar;
The smoke cleared away, the girl rode as before,
And the old General said, ''Shes lover of the
gray.
But would that we each had her courage to day.
