A Mt. Vernon farmer had a lively
experience in Augusta, shortly before
noon, on Saturday. He was in Scott
street with load of butter and eggs.
His horse became frightened at the
steam road roller and made dash, for
other scenes. The man held on, but the
bit strap didn't. That broke and there
was trouble. Without controlling
rein the thoroughly frightened horse
made a wild dash for freedom. He
threw out the driver; the man turning
complete summersault and landing
nat upon his back. The load of butter
and eggs was scattered to the four
winds and made a mess in the street.
Up Capitol street and over thehill raced
the horse, being caught at the top of the
hill by letter carrier. Beyond the loss
OF the butter and eggs, the only dam-
age was the broken bit strap and a
bent fender on the wagon.

The work Of tho Alabama during tho

struggle which will never be Forgotten.
AS commander Of this famous vessel,
Raphael semmes made for himself
naIne that will never die. But not alone
win lauyels crown his memory because
Of his daring and ability In those rneu.
orable battles Of the sea. but also be.
CAUSE OF at least one great literary pro-

semmes had always displayed literary
talent and was correspondent and editor
OF various papers. But no one dreamed
that no had the power to 80 graphically
portray events which he displayed in his
book ntitlad memoirs Of Service Adoat

He was born In Charles county, Nary

seript!on OF tho whole history Of the

has thoroughly disested the work he
knows all there Is to know not only about
the history at these ships, but also about
