the evils of the prohibitory law and at

that it was not backed by the sentiment
of a majority of the voters. He also took
up the increase of state expenses and read
from the senate record of 1898 to show
illegal use of state money by the repub-
lican officers. His advice to the voters
was TO vote as their consciences dictated

A CIVIL WAR INCIDENT,
How Two Young Confederates Went
for Water Through a Hail
of Canister.

In connection with an article in the
Sun of recent date relating an Incl
dent of the battle Of Kennesaw noun
tain, Georgia, in 1864, when Col. W. II.
Martin, of the First Arkansas regi-
ment, gave the order to his men to
stop firing, and h.oisted white hand
kerchief on stick that the federals
in his front might remove some of
their wounded men from burning
woods, Mrs. Susan b. Hull. of No. 1920
Cathedral street, recounts an interest
ing bit of history, says the Baltimore
Sun.
The First Arkansas regiment was
composed largely Of students of st.
Johns college. at Little Rock, and was
Differed by the professors and in
structors Of the college. The first
colonslof the regiment was Mrs. Hull's
brother, Col. John Baker Thomps on,
who had been president Of the col
lege. and who afterwards fell at the
battle of Shiloh. The First Arkan-
sas was encamped near Fredericks-
burg when the first battle of Manas-
ses, or Bull Run, opened The COM
mand was ordered to the field, and it
made the march in remarkably quSk
time, winning words of praise from
Gen Magruder. The men were not al
lowed to halt on the march, the roads
were dusty and the weather warm,
and they suffered terribly from thirst.
When the battlefield was reached the
command was thrown into the fore
front of the fighting. Almost directly
in front of the regiment was "A spring
of cool water, completely covered,
however. by the guns of federal bat
tery. This tempting spring, so near
and vet so far, was exceedingly tan
TALKING to the thirsty men, and finally,
when human nature could stand it
no longer, two young boys, both I'M
der 16, whose names, unfortunately,
have been lost in the fight of time,
volunteered to get some water from
the spring. With lot of canteens
strung over their shoulders the two
young heroes started on their perilous
Journey. AS soon as they came with
in range of the federal battery il
opened on them. and a perfect hail
of canister and grape swept the field.
The two lads reached the spring I'M
injured, and quickly filled the can
teens, while their comrades watched
with breathless interest. expecting
every moment to see them struck
down. Suddenly. as if by magic, the
fire of the battery ceased. Then as
the boys started on their return to the
regiment an officer on horseback rode
out from between the guns of the bat
terry, and, lifting his hat, waved ii to
| the boys. while hearty cheer broke
from the throats of the cannoneers,
| The officer had discerned the mission
of the lads and given orders to stop
| firing. The cheer was responded to
by the thirsty confederates and few
moments later they were pouring the
refreshing water down their dusty
Z threats.
Possibly at Kennesaw, when the
men and boys of the First Arkansas
regiment saw the unfortunate wound
ed boys in blue in danger Of horrible
death in the burning woods, they re-
membered the incident of the first
great battle Of the war.

It's the Same Here.

The local editor of the Randolph
Herald has been observing the operation
of the weighing machine at that station
and says;
"The man who invented the penny-in
the-slot weighing maching WAS of course,
genius, but he who conceived the idea
of placing the machines in waiting rooms
at railroad stations was close observer
and profound student of human nature.
The receipts from the machine at the
depot in this place vary from 81 30 to 81
month, which means that $50 or 200
people are weighed in that time and
from 1900 to 2l00 satisfy themselves as
to their avoirdupois in the course of
year.
The manWuvres are curously similar
in every case. y person comes into the
depot, drops into a seat, stares around
for minute. reads the excursion notices,
glances over the time tables, yawns,
looks at his watch. asks how late the
train is, unlocks his jaws in another
yawn, gives another despairing gaze
about the room and his eyes light on
that weighing machine.
Immediately there is lift in the
gloom; ray of interest steals over his
features and he begins invOluntarily TO
feel around In IL or 20 different pockets
after copper. For a dreadful, dark,
dismal second it looks as though cent
would not be forthcoming and the victim
of ennui would have to sink again to the
depths of boredom. He fishes out post
age stamps, stubs of pencils, note books,
pocketbooks and enough small wares TO
stock tive-cent counter in department
store. Before he gets through you
wonder how he ever manages to walk
about with all that collateral and why
he doesn't tie Il shawl-strap around him
self and hire somebody to carry him.
At last he happens onto penny in
the southeast corner of northwest
pocket and brings it out with more sat
isfactiOn than he has felt since he was a
small boy. Stepping onto the scale he de-
posts the long sought coin and watches
the indicator fly around the dial with an
anxious pucker until it stops at figure
which q notice on the front of the
machine asserts is the correct weight
for one his feet and inches. Then he
livens up amazingly, gives his hat a
iaunty tip, throws back his shoulders
and prauces around radiating good
humor and contentment all over the
adjoining territory.
If. however, there is a noticeable
falling off in weight, his spirits become
heavy enough to send the indicator
around TO the three-hundredth mark, if
they could be laid on the scales in ma
terial form. He retires to distant
corner all bumped over, surreptitously
counts his pulse. feels sure that his
tongue must be coated and is so busy
working up "A deatbly sickness that
