 The fourth vital affair was in the 1 west and on the field of Chickamauga, The campaign that Rosen cranz had worked out against Bragg, by which he l outmaneuvered, outfianked and out fought him, until he had forced him out of Kentucky, and then out of Tennes- see and captured Chat tanooga, has been pronounced one of the most brilliant of the whole war. We have now to do with the battle of Chickamauga, where all the victories were inperilled, and but for the masterly generalship of one man, would have resulted in the direst disaster to the Union arms. The bat tie was tWo-days one.

 the flower of the rebel army was in Vir- ginia. Even when Grant took up his quarters with the Army of the Potomac it was question with the rebels thenl- selves whether he would find as easy headway against Lee as he had against the generals who commanded in the far south. In this battle that problem was to play an important part, as the pow erful corps of Longstreet had been cent from Virginia to reinforce Bragg. He had likewise been heavily reinforced from other points. The number of men in the Union army was in the neighbor- hood of fifty-flve thousand. The rebel force engaged was nearly or quite sev- enty thousand. The position, too, was admirable for their purpose, since if the Union line should Dc pierced and the army broken in two, there was the ut most reason for expecting It's total de- struction That would have been but ! part of the damage.

volved in his enterprise, and neither
would it be possible to have recourse to

In order to obviare this danger, the
kaiser foresees the necessity of forming
an European customs union against the
United States on similar lines to the
continental blockade devised by Napo-
leon against England in order TO safe
guard the interests and assure the free

declared to us without circulation that
in such an eventuality England would
be forced to choose an alternative of
two absolutely opposite policies-either
to adhere to the blockade and place
herself on the side of Europe against
the United States or else TO join the lat
ter against the powers Of the continent. "

THANKSGIVING DAY
HAS BEEN DESIGNATED
President Roosevelt Issues
His Proclamation.
NOVEMBER % THE. DATE

According to me-Honored Custom of
United States the Chief Executive
Fixes Day For the Nation to Rem
der Thanks and Praise to God.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 2. = President
Roosevelt today issued his proclama-
ton fixing Nov. % as a day of national
thanksgiving. 1t follows:
"The season is nigh when, according
to the time-hallowed custom of our peo-
pie, the president appoints day as the
special occasion of praise and thanks
giving to God.
'This Thanksgiving finds the people
still bowed with sorrow for the death of
a great and good president. We mourn
President Mckinley because we so loved
and honored him, and the manner of
his death should awaken in the breasts
of our people a keen anxiety for the
country and at the same time a Eesolute
purpose not to be driven by any calam-
ity from the path of strong, orderly, pop
Ular liberty which as nation we have
thus far safely trod.
''Yet in spite of this great disaster, 1T
is nevertheless true that no people on
earth have such an abundant cause for
thanksgiving as we have. The past
year in particular has been one of peace
and plenty. We have prospered in
things material and have been able to
work for our own uplifting in things in
tellectual and spiritual Let us remem-
Der that as much as has been given US,
much will be expected from us, and that
true homage comes from the heart as
well as from the lips and shows it in
deeds.
''Now, therefore, /, Theodore Roose-
velt, president of the United States, do
hereby designate as a day of general
thanksgiving Thursday, Nov. 28, and
do recommend that throughout the land
the people cease from their wonted oc-
cupations and at their several homes
and places of worship reverently thank
the Giver of all good for the countless
blessings and our national life.
"In witness whereof have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed.

Marry Woman.
WAYCRoSs, Ga, Nov. Am unusu-
ally interesting story comes from Charl-
ton county, where court has been in ses-
sion.
H. Reed Morrison, a prominent citi-
zen of Moniac, was granted divorce in
the court, there being no opposition to
his suit. Morrison stated to the jury
that he lived in South Carolina prior to
his removal to this state, three years
ago, when he came to Monlac and &C.
cepted a position as sawyer for the
Dyal- Upchurch Lumber company.
He said that one night while he lived
in South Carolina he was met by a trio
of men, heavily armed with Winches-
ter rifles. He was told that he must
either marry a certain young lady of
the community or prepare to pass in his
checks. The woman in question was q
sister of one of the men in the party.
He was held in custody at the point of
the dangerous looking rifles until the
lady, the license and an officer of the
law could be secured, and thereupon
they were made man and wife.
According to Morrison's version of
tho affair, as soon as the ceremony had
been performed he was set at liberty
and as soon as possible left the state Of
South Carolina and had not returned
there since. Never having from that
day until the present time looked upon
the face of the woman whom he mar
ried that night in the road after hearing
his story, and there being no opposition
to the proceedings, the jury granted tho

WHY KoEsTeR SHOT NEGRO.
Appointee's Friends Claim 1t Was a
Humane Act.

CHARLESTON, Nov. 2. - Friends of
George R. Koester, whose appointment
as collector of internal revenue is op-
posed because he took part in lynch
ing in Lexington county some years ago,
made a statement in the affair. Accord
ing to this version, Koester, who is edi-
tor of the Columbia Record, went with
the mob to report the lynching.
When the negro was caught he was
strung to tree and the mob was max
ing ready to burn him alive when
koester protested that it should not be
done.
Wed like to see you help it," said
one of the leaders.
"I'n kill him first" answered Koes-
ter, and 1t is said that he whipped out a
revolver and fired. Koester claimed to
have acted with the desire to save the
negro from slow torture. The mob, he
said, was bloodthirsty and wild for the
negro's life, but was not willing to kill
him outright.
The Koester element claims now that
he did humane act, inasmuch as he
was powerless to save the negro.

Children

Have "eyes bigger than their stomachs,"
according to an old saying. They over
eat themselves, and are tempted by all
sorts of injurious and indigestib1e edi-
bles. AS a consequence the foundation
of serious stomach trouble is often laid
in childhood.
For children with rweakD digestion or
whose stomachs are diseased, Doctor
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery may
be confidently recommended. 1t cures
diseases of the stomach and other organs
of digestion and nutrition, so that the
nourishment contained III food is per-
fectly assimi1ated and the puny child is
built up by food into a condition of
robust health.

contains neither alcohol nor narcotics.

ica1 Discovery" There is nothing vlust

then shot Mrs. Greene and cut her head
open with a hatchet, inflicting fatal
wounds, and then shot himself through

hand before her marriage, but his love
was unrequited. For this reason he
shot her on Nov. 20, 1895, and cut her
with a razor, but she recovered from her
wounds. For this crime Baker was
sent to state prison, but was released
about five months ago.
