OF CURRENT INTEREST.
Flagman.

With a view to preventing accidents
at level crossings and collisions in the
neighborhood OF railway stations a
very ingenious mechanism has recent
ly been tried In France. 1t consists
essentially of a huge hook, or catch,
made Of iron, which is connected with
a lever at the station by means of a
wire through which a current of cleo
tricity passes. When it is lying in
its place the train passes over it quite
easily, but as soon as it is raised it
catches a lever which is attached to
the engine. The lever thus caught
causes an air valve on the engine to
open automatically and applies the
brakes at once so that the whole
train is brought to standstilI
within very short distance In foggy
weather the use of such an apparatus
cannot be overestimated, as 1t is cal
culated to prevent a train running in
to another which happens to be de-
layed at a station.

John A. McCabe, whoever he may be,
says the Advertiser 'is catering to the
local prejudice which seems to exist
against the Federal officials" This
viii be news to Collector Stackable,
Postmaster Dat, United States Marshal
Ray, Special Agent Jared Smith and
several other Federal officials who are
distinguished for minding their own
business. If prejudice against any
Federal officials exists it applies to
those who think it their duty to teach
rArnericanism" to the party which
oyerthrew the Hawaiian monarchy and
brought about annexation, and who are
impudently meddlesome in purely local
politics 1t would be natural for the
community to look askance at freaks
of that description, especially when
they employ unreconstructed Royalists
as their agents and allies.

Queer Place to Seek a Bride.

1t is curious, but perhaps not so I'M
common as might at first be thought,
that man should go to an almshouse
to get a bride. A Pottsville, Pa, pa
per asserts that the almshouse at that
place is visited almost every month by
some man who wants to find a wife
among the girls whom fortune has for
the time being thrown on the charity
of the county. Marriages of this kind
frequently occur. 1t is always required,
however, by the officials, that a man
contracting a marriage with an inmate
of the almshouse shall give a bond to
support her. Experience has demon
strated the need of this, as in a num-
Der of cases in the past female in
mates Of the almshouse have been
married only to be abandoned in a
short time and ultimately to return,
sometimes with children, for the coun-
ty to support.

All the Gold One Can Garry.

If a man of average muscular
strength, strong man and a very
strong man We're told that they might
have as much gold as they could carry
mile, the average man might carry
100 pounds of gold a mile He would
have over $4,000 if he succeeded. The
strong man could, perhaps, get to the
end of his mile with $50 pounds of
gold. He would have 500, $50. The very
strong man could possibly struggle to
end end of his mile with 200 pounds.
That would give him about $53, 0OO

Never Talked Again.

A young man of smart appearance
entered restaurant, followed by q
French poodle that seemed in. elligeDt
shove all his race. The mastev select
ed table and sat down at one end !,
while the poodle sat up on chair op-
posi.e to him and waited. after con-
ming the bill Of fare the master ordered
steai and onions. Then the dog re-
marked, "And the same for nae
please"
Nothing can astonish waiter; but
gentleman sitting near by heard the
dogs remark and played double aston
ishment for the waiter and himself.
Seeing this, the owner of the talking
cog asked OF the animal, "What wine,
Mossoo?"
"Mumm. 49," replied the poodle
laconically. looking trifie bored. This
was too much for the astonished gen.
tleman. He rose and, apologizing,
said to the owner Of the dog:
sIt is marvellous to what pitch OF
perfection one can bring good poo
die. I've seen some dogs in my time,
but I've never heard enc talk as plain
ly as yours does. Will you take $3.50
for him?"
"Well," replied the young man, 81
really don't want to sell him."
"Take $5OO?" pursued the other.
"Well, we'll, if you really want him
1 viii can easily train another to
talk in the same way"
The bargain was made, and the dog
changed hands. But as the new mar
ter was leading his purchase out Of
the restaurant by string, the poodle
cast reproachful look on the ventril-
oquist aud said, with world of pathos
in his words, you've sold me! You We
sold mel I'll never talk againr'
And he never did.

unteers to the First South Carolina

an's) brigade, which was under jack
son until his death, and then under
A. p. Hill until the surrender. This
statement will introduce me to the
Georgia survivors of the Army of
Northern Virginia.
One Of your correspondents from
Wright's brigade, speaking Of Pickett's
charge at Gettysburg, says: sit GER
tainly was a most hazardous affair.
They suffered heavily, and yet have
never been convinced the battle of the
second day previous should stand in
history as the bloodiest fought battle
Of the two"
Another correspondent, survivor
OF Semmes brigade, says: "The sub
scquent sacrifice Of Pickctt's gallant
division was simply murder"
believe in giving honor to whom
honor is due. Pickett ioss has been
greatly exaggerated, and for nearly 38
years the fancy story of this sacrifice
has been written up in glowing words
until many persons believe that Pick
EFT did all the fighting at Gettysburg,
end the: Georgia, North Carolina
and the other States were "not in
it"
Let US see what the figures prove as
[, 1.cketts command at Gettysburg
before the battle and after it.
From July l, 1862, t. June 80,
1868, Ii battles were fought by parts
or the whole of the Army of Northern
Virginia. In these, Pickett's divis-
ion, consisting of Garnetts, Armi-
stead s and Kemper's brigades, lost in
killed end wounded TIP men, while
the brigades Of Archer, Lane and
Scales lost in killed and wounded J, 3,61O
men.
At Gettysburg Pickett division lost
in killed, 232 men; Hoods division,
343, Early division. 1856; Johnson's
division, 229; Rodes' division, 42l;
McLaws' division, 313; Anderson 8
division, lat; Heth's division, AL;
Pender's division, 262, and the caval-
ry lost 36.
At Gettysburg the loss in wounded
by divisions was as follows Pickett,
1,l57; McLaws, 1888; Hood, 1904;
Rarly, BOG; Johnson, 1853; Rodes,
1928; Anderson, 1928; Heth, 1905;
Ponder, 1872, and the cavalry 14O.
In the captured or missing tho loss
es by divisions were: Pickett, 1,499;
MoLaws, 1927; Hood, 442; EARLY, 226;
Rodes, 1O3; Anderson, $40; aeth,
534; Pender, l16. and the cavalry ia.
From the above it will be seen that
Hood, Rodes, McLaws, Heth and Pen
der each had more men killed than
Pickett. Early, Anderson and John
son each lost fewer men killed.
In wounded, McLaws. Hood, John
ston: Rodes, Heth and Pender each
lost more than Pickett. Early and
Anderson lost fewer men.
Pickett lost in captured ], ,499, near
ly three times as many as Heth, whose
men went as far in the charge and
stayed as long as Pickett's did.
Pickett's division was composed of
Is regiments and his loss in killed
averaged e little more than Is men to
the regiment. This certainly was not
much Of slaughter or sacrifice.
Georgia lost in killed at Gettysburg
42l, while Virginia lost 388. This
does not include the cavalry ard artil-
lery.
North Carolina lost in killed 686 or
1913 more than Virginia.
