THE DUCK RIVER R1FEEMEp

AN HISTORICAL SKETCH BY
JUDGE FRANK H. SMITH.

THE Herald published below the frs
installment of series of articles from
the pen of Judge Frank III. Smith, OF
the Duck River Rifiemen, +" being an
historical sketch of the deeds of one of
the most remarkable companies OF
Confederate soldiers in the civil war.
The Company was made up largely of
Maury Countians and most of the
Company's history as written by
Judge Smith, is totally unknown to
the vast majority of Maury CountIans,
vet at the same time it is intensely
interesting, and each installment will
be not only worth reading, but well
worth preservation. The sketch will
number fifty or sixty columns of read
ing matter, and viii appear in the
Weekly Herald each week until COM
pleted.
Ny friend, Capt. R. W. Tindall, of
Leftwich Bridge, has roster of Cap
tain j. NJ. Ellington S Company, The
Duck River Rifemen, which was
made up in the eastern part of Maury
County and western part of Marshall
County, and which served with dis
tinction in the Civil War, in the
Twenty fourth Tennessee Volunteer
Infantry. This original report" is
on pieces of Confederate paper, writ
ten with Confederate ink, which. like
other Confederate things, has faded. As
this roster was made at the end of
the war, without access to the Muster
Rolls of the previous four years, it
does not contain all the names of the
Company, as there were many recruits
and additions and some served for
only short time.
In this series of articles l wish to i
give an Historical Sketch of this Com !
pany, and incidentally of the other and
larger commands with which it was
connected While many persons are
acquainted with most of the facts,
there are some incidents that are not
generally known, and which have
never been published. | trust that
this Sketch will prove of interest not
only to the families of the Duck River
Riflemen, but also to the general
reader.

Gallant Colonel PEBBLES.
Thomas Fl. Peebles the Lieutenant
Colonel of the Twenty fourth, was
from near Spring Hill, at which place
and at Franklin he mad achieved great
success as a teacher. He made NJ
Company B in the southern part OF
Williamson county, and was elected its
Captain. After Allison was chosen
Colonel of the Twenty fourth, PEBBLES
was gwen the next highest office, and
Sam E. Shannon became Captain OF
Company b.
Col. PEBBLES commanded the regi
ment at Shiloh. and was highly COM
plimented by Cleburne in his official
report for the excellent manner in
which he handled the men. Almost at
the first fire his horse was killed under
him; and he fought on foot through
out the rest of the battle, escaping UNI
hurt, although his coat was pierced
by three minnie balls.
Just after the battle he resigned and
accepted a.position with Cleburne and
was not actively connected with the
regiment afterwards.
Daring Work as a Spy.
A year or two later he was detailed
on hazardous secret mission into
Middle Tennessee, then occupied by
the Federals. He had accomplished the
object of his trip, but just before
reaching the Confederate lines was
captured by roaming squad OF Federal
cavalry AS they were proceeding to
search him, he recognized one of these
soldiers as having been former MEM

THE WHISKEY FRAUDS.

The whiskey fraud cases now under
Greensboro become more sensational as
the investigation proceeds. 1t seems
almost incredible hat a few men could
be able to defraud the government TO
the amount it is said these men have
without having h cooperation OF
prominent government officials. How
a high official could be so easily fooled
is almost incomprehensible. The Mil
ton company defrauded the govern
ment through it's office in Raleigh out
Of stamps to the extent Of thousands Of
dollars. The ann of cheating was
simple. 1t could have been done only
through criminal carelessness Of the
clerks or some officer in the Raleigh Of
fee. Collector Dunca by not requir-
ing compliance with h law was pre-
vailed upon to issue to this Milton COM
pany stamps to h value Of twenty
times more than they were entitled to.
There seems to be no charge of crimi-
nal conduct against Collector Duncan
That he will be held responsible for the
governments loss is hardly to be doubt
ed. It was through his gross neglect
of duty or neglect Of duty of some n
in his office which enabled the Milton
men to defraud the government out of
SO many thousands of dollars. We do
not see why Mr.. Duncans bono should
not be held responsible for the loss. This
is one Of the biggest. frauds that has
haaa norpatratad nn the government in
years. 1t has been defrauded out of
thousands of dollars. Some body
should pay the penalty.

'MRS. WIGGS'. DISMISSED
The Justice Says She Has Great Prov
ocation and Her Life is Disturbed.

Louisville. KY, April 29-"Mrs.
Wigs Of the Cabbage Patch" who in
private life is Mrs. Mary Bass, was to-
police court where she made her APP
to answer the charge Of
throwing the contents Of slop jar on
Mrs. Emily smith, also of Louisville.
Mrs. Smith claimed that her dress was
ruined, her pride shattered and that
her philanthropic impulses received a
shock.
In dismissing Mrs. Bass. the court
said in brief:
n prosecuting witness came to
Mrs. Wigs house without invitation
The defendant has been brought into
great nOtoriety as h result Of a liter
| ary production and has been terribly
| annoyed. Her home a been invaded
and the eac and quiet of life contin-
ualiy disturbed. I think that n has
had great provocation and I think
ought to dismiss her from the charge On
general principles"
Mrs. Bass testimony was given In
her characteristic She said:
Fol many months I've been cont1n-
ually interrupted Hobo after hobo
comes to my house. I d 'em down
and awav from my place hen ever /
see 'em. They come by droves. walk
around the yard, open doors. When
they rouse me and come to the door
to see what they want. I o upon not
a single ace 1 know. There they
stand, and o at each other in a
foolish way. After a while n will
say:
We'll, we read the book
well | will say. if that's all you
want YOU may git. And I make
them git"
As she left the court room, Mrs.
Wigs said:
Now, maybe I'll be able to spend my
old g in peace, and maybe my
treesll grow out where all them me-
morials-(souvenirs)-have been pulled
off, and maybe my yard won't be full
of strange people every Sunday. and /
can move dow stairs where / used to

THE SOCIAL EVIL.
Mrs. Kate w. Barrett Discusses How
1t Can Be LeSsened.

Washington, April 29.-The closing
session OF the conference of the Ma
tional Florence Crittenton Mission
was held tonight. Its chief feature
was a discussion by Mrs. Kate w.
Barrett Of what ear be done to lessen
the social evil. Mrs. Barrett has had
many lines of work in the field O.
cred by the mission. Briefly her
suggestions were:
Stop the sale Of liquor in disorderly
houses.
Establish close police supervision
and authority ver such places.
Require a record to be kept of
every inmate of a disorderly house,
giving her age, history so far as OBJ
tainable, condition, etc.
Require that all recruits before be-
ing permitted to enter q disorderly
house shall report to the chief of po-
lice.
Make it possible for a girl to earn
an honest living.
While not advocating hal police
supervision and authority should be
carried to the extent it is in some for
eign cities, where the SOCIAL evil is a
legally recognized institution, Mrs.
Barrett held that a certain degree Of
this supervision and authority. with
its necessary accompaniment Of Sc
gregation, must be provided. In
no other way. she said, can the prob
lem be dealt with successfully.
