Charles Witherspoon. a well known
resident of Petersburg. Va, lately
found among the papers of his grand

Of the United States. The following is
copy of the letter:
To Captain John D. Burk and the Peters
burg Company Of Rifemen:
The offer of your services in support Of
the rights Of your country merits and
meets the highest praise and whenever
the moment arrives in which their rights
must appeal to the public arm for sup
port. the spirit from which your offer
flows, that which animates our emotion
will be their sufficient safeguard.
To the legislature will be rendered q
faithful account of the events which have
50 justly excited the sensibilities Of our
county, of the measures taken to obtain
reparation and Of their results. and to
their wisdom will belong the course to be
ultimately pursued. In the meantime 1t
Is our duty to pursue that furnished by
the existing laws. the authority of these
having been recently and grossly outraged
in the state of Virginia
The governor will employ such portion
of the militia as in cooperation with the
forces of the United States in the same
quarter may protect the country. it's citi-
Gems and property from violence. Toward
this your services are accepted under his
direction
tender for your country the thanks
you so justly deserve.
THOMAS JEFFERSON.
Washington, July 10. 1907
"The events which have so justly ex-
cited the sensibilities of our country"
were the firing on the United States
Chesapeake by the British

American goods are growing in de
mand at a rapid rate in Denmark. Els
pecially is this noticeable in Copen
hagen where one does not have to go
far before encountering articles Of
American make. American shoes are
now as in Berlin, quiet the proper
thing, and of course when it comes to
agricultural implements the Ameri-
cans are far in the lead In no other
country has there comparatively been
such demand for American bicycles
as in Denmark.

of the substantial men of the town. No
one knows of the whereabouts of Mr..
Magnusson and many of his friends
believe that he has gone to America.

There comes time in every pension
list when the number Of survivors is
at the maximum and when the num-
Der Of widows is at the ma xlmum.
The number Of survivors Of the civil
war was greatest of course immediate
~ after the war. Whether the maxi
mum number Of survivors on the pen
sion roll on account Of that war has
been passed or not will probably de-
pend upon whether service pension
law Is enacted within the next few
years.
There is no question as to whether
the number Of widows Of soldiers in
that war will increase. Judging from
the figures for the Mexican war, the
number Of civil war widows will go on
increasing for the next fourteen years
at least, as the maximum number Of
widows Of soldiers iR the Mexican war
was not reached until 1899, or fifty-one
years after the close Of that war. This
would make the number of civil war
widows reach the maximum in 1917.

Autumn Days.

Now the year is growing mellow
And the leaves turn red and yellow
And the dreamy sunlight fingers on the
hills and on the plains.
And the grapes with purple luster
Hang In many tempting cluster
All along the weedy roadsides and In
pleasant country lanes.
In the woods the crows are calling,
And the butternuts are falling,
And the thickets are so quiet one can hear
the slightest sound,
. And the plums that long have glinted
'Mong the leaves grow rosy tinted
In the sweet autumnal sunshine that Is
breeding all around
Now the corn as in the olden
Days we've known. Is husled in golden.
Loads. and though wen miss the song
birds and their notes Of happy cheer.
Still. when we behold the treasures
That are heaped in such vast measures.
We are glad that summers over and that
autumn days are here.

seems to be to dispense with the collar

fact that the state railway record

BOARDS MAY BORROW.
Attorney General Gives HIS Opinion
for Teachers.

Atlanta, Jan. 10.-Attorney Cen
eral John c. Hart, at the request of
State School Commissioner w. B. Mer-
rift, to-day rendered an official opin-
ion on the question of county boards
of education borrowing money for the
purpose of promptly paying school
teachers.
Judge Hart says he thinks that
county boards have the right to Sc
cure temporary loans to a limited ex-
tent for the purpose of paying teach
ers, the money so borrowed to be re-
funded as soon as payment is made by
the state. The law gives county
boards the right to make such ar
rangements as will most efficiently
carry on the work of the schools, and
the Attorney General says the prompt
payment of teachers is certainly one
of these arrangements.
In many counties of the state school
is taught for the first five months in
the year, and under the present fis-
cal system of the state the teachers
have to wait for their pay for March,
April and May until December or jan
uary. This will be obviated largely
by the borrowing of money by county
boards, and hereafter 1t is the inten-
ton OF the authorities to see that this
is done.

SOLD TO UNITED STATES.
Florida Disposes OF Its Quarantine
stations.

StuNlOnss
Tallahassee, Fla, Jan. 1O.-The
United States Treasury Department
has bought from Florida the states
quarantine stations at Pensacola,
Charlotte Harbor, Fernandina, Miami
and Mayport at the following prices:
Pensacola station. $4,000; Charlotte
Harbor station, 50. 900; Fernandina sta
ton, $4,000; Miami station, $500; May
port station. $3.50.
In his message to the Legislature OF
1901 Gov. Jennings strongly opposed
the transfer of the states quarantine
stations to the general government,
taking the ground that the state
should look directly after the health
of her citizens and the incidental pro-
lection of her commerce; also that the
state might lose sovereignty over the
lands thus transferred. A few days
after that message was sent in, the
United States Supreme Court decided
that quarantine management by the
Federal government did not deprive
the states of the power of sovereignty
and jurisdiction over the particular
territory used for quarantine pur-
poses.
1t also developed that the Marine
Hospital Service of the United States
Treasury Department would agree-
and has now agreed-to appoint the
state health officer of Florida a sani-
tary inspector of the Marine Hospital
Service, with advisory and recon-
mandatory functions in the manage
ment and operation of the quarantine
and inspection stations, and will fur
nish, when and as often as may be
deemed necessary tranSnOrta tiOp for
the purpose of inspecting the stations.
These developments tended to remove
the Governors objections to the
transfer and he approved a joint res
olution of the 1901 Legislature, author
iZing the State Board of Health to ne
gotiate with the United States govern
ment to operate those quarantine sta
lions. In July, 1901, an appraisement
having been made of the Tampa Bay
and Key West quarantine stations,
and an appropriation being available
for their purchase by the Marine Hos
pital Service, those stations were duly
transferred by the state of Florida.
and a further agreement was made
by which the Pensacola, Charlotte
Harbor, Fernandina, Miami and May
port stations, which are now being
transferred by sale, were taken over
by the United States government for
operation under lease for a nominal
sum until their value could be ap-
praised and an appropriation was
made by Congress to pay for them
The money to be received from the
Treasury Department for these sta
tions-$32. 45O00-will be placed by the
state treasurer in the state property
fund, which now contains $l9,065, to
await disposition by the Legislature,
which meets here in April.

NEW POINTS OF
LAW AND FACT.
Raised by Unusual Answer of Ocean
Steamship Company.

Raised by Unusual Answer of Ocean
Steamship Company.
An interesting case in which some
unusual points of fact and many
points of law are involved, was tried
yesterday in the City Court. The case
occupied the attention of the court
throughout the day, and went to the
jury in the afternoon. with instruc-
lions for the return of a sealed YER
dict on Monday morning.
Collins, Grayson & Co. sued out an
attachment for the recovery of an al
legged debt against Sanborn & Co., of
Massachusetts,, and garnished the
Ocean Steamship Company. In answer
to the garnishment, the company ad-
mitted that it had in it's possession 450
barrels of apples, belonging to the
Massachusetts concern, but submitted
that the goods, when garnished, were
in the hold of one of their ships, in
transitu, and were, therefore, not LA
BILE to the process.
Mr.. Charlton representing Collins,
Grayson az Co., filed a traverse to the
answer of the garnishee, setting out
that the goods were not in transitu,
and that even if they were, they were
subject to the process. This court has
no jurisdiction as against the Massa-
chusetts concern, except in the case of
an attachment, and therefore it is
vital to the plaintiffs interest that
the garnishment obtain.
The plaintiffs interests are repre-
scented by w. G.. Charlton, while those
of the garnishee are being looked af-
ter by Lawton & Cunningham and W.
G, Hartridge.
